Chapter 33 Childishness Remains Unchanged, Times Change

The next morning,

A cheerful and familiar children's song sounded from the courtyard of Karen's house.

"What's the name of dad's father? What's the name of dad's mother? What's the name of dad's mother? Dad's mother is called grandma..."

Wutong occupied Kallen's rocking car.

Don't ask Kallen why she still plays with the rocker at such an old age. Isn't Wutong also playing?

Toys like a rocking car may be a bit childish and boring for children of Xilin and Himeko's age, but older people won't think it is childish, and it is quite interesting to sit on it and rock it for a while. Yes, the children's songs are a bit annoying and disturbing.

So after a while, Wutong turned off its sound. In fact, its sound was originally turned off by Karen, and it was Wutong's hand that turned it on.

"Master, you are so laid-back."

Wearing a pale pink skirt and holding a folding fan in her hand, Stargazer strolled in.

"It's okay." Wutong was not surprised by her arrival.

"Come down and let me play for a while?"

"You are so old, why are you playing with a rocker? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by outsiders? You are the leader of Heaven now. You must always pay attention to your own image. Your face is not your face, but Heaven's. Face."

Wutong said slowly and calmly: "If you like to play, tomorrow a master will make you a children's wooden horse out of golden nanmu, so that you can play secretly in your own bedroom. It also saves electricity. By the way, play Remember to close the curtains when you are there so that no one can see you, it’s too embarrassing.”

"Haha, there's no need to go to so much trouble, just let the apprentice play with the rocker. The master is not afraid of being embarrassed, so how can the apprentice be afraid?" Guanxing pursed his lips and smiled, "Besides, the apprentice is a child, and children play with children. How can your toys be so embarrassing? Master, you... haha."

"Don't be ridiculous. You are 1819 years old. Apart from being barren and short, how do you look like a child? You look like a small potato with white hair."

"?"

Hearing this, Guan Xing's little face bulged with anger, and he looked more cute than a little potato.

"Master bastard! You actually hurt your lovely apprentice like this, Xiaotuo? You still have white radish! It's really... it's so damaging!"

Naturally, Stargazer dare not say this, he can only think about it in his heart.

"I don't want to do this anymore! I want to resign!" Guanxing threatened.

"Whatever." Wutong said leisurely, "I have retired a long time ago. The affairs of heaven have nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want."

"...Come down and let's go to the study. I won't come so far to see you if I don't have anything important to do."

"Important things? No matter." Wutong's tone was very relaxed.

"..." Guanxing was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed Wutong's sleeves and hem, pulling him down, "Come down! Come down!"

"Hey? Let go. Don't you know that you don't learn well at a young age and don't know how to interact with men and women? If your master wife sees this, your little butt will blossom."

"Master's wife will not be so unreasonable! Come down!" Guanxing never gives up easily.

"Okay, okay, let go. If you don't obey again, I'll slap the back of your hand."

"snort!"

Guanxing snorted, obediently let go of his little hand, and then straightened his clothes which were not messy.

"I won't go down, what can you do to me?" Wutong said coquettishly.

As he spoke, he also turned on the sound of the rocking car.

"What's dad's dad's name...Peng!"

In a rage, Guanxing smashed the rocking car with his fist.

"You pay."

"I'll pay, I'll pay! Come down!" Guanxing ordered through gritted teeth.

"Hey~ ok." Wutong stood up and walked down. He also stroked his little apprentice's white hair with his hands and said seriously, "You always have this mentality! It's not good to be angry. It's harmful to your body. You're short." That’s all, don’t get angry and get sick again.”

Stargazing's little face turned red from suppressing it, and he didn't even say the word "get out" in the end.

In a moment,

The study room of Karen's house that has been neglected all year round.

Wutong squeezed a cup of fresh bitter melon juice and placed it in front of his young apprentice: "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

"No one has listened to what I said now, and it is useless. What do you think I should do?" Guan Xing said alarmingly.

"What do you mean now? Aren't you always having trouble speaking?" Wutong said in surprise.

"..."

What Wutong said is not wrong. Although Guanxing is the current "boss", she is indeed not the only one in heaven. This is very different from when Wutong was in power.

When Wutong was still the "Emperor of Heaven", although relevant decisions had to go through the Senate before they could be implemented, any serious proposal he made would be passed smoothly by the Senate.

Unless it is the kind of proposal that Wutong himself feels is somewhat unreliable, some people who know how to observe words and emotions will raise objections.

This is not the case for stargazing. In the heaven, there are many people of higher generation than her, such as Ying, Mebius, Hua, Cangxuan, Danzhu, Ji Lin, Lianshan, Xihe, Xiao Yun... these She has to give some face to people when they speak.

Fortunately, except for Dr. Mebius, other people would more or less give her some face and rarely confront her. Otherwise, the heaven would have been in chaos and the power struggle would have been fierce.

But even so, a small number of decisions proposed by Guanxing could not pass the Senate.

Because these people are highly respected

Of the "face" given to Guanxing by her elders, part of it is indeed recognition of her abilities, conduct and deeds, but the other part is actually given to Wutong, Ying and others.

Heavenly Court is the most difficult to manage among the four major organizations.

In fact, one of the most fundamental reasons why Heaven has not been in chaos or disintegrated for so many years is that Wutong is not dead. As long as he is alive, no one will dare to be careful, unless Wutong's "essence" has changed and he has done a lot A matter of great wrath and resentment.

"Members of the Senate have differences regarding the handling of the Honkai Beast..."

"Is this such a small thing worth asking me for?"

"Snapped!"

Stargazing slapped the table and said like an angry chicken: "Can you please listen to what I have to say?"

Every time he chatted with Wutong, Gao Xingxing would get angry.

"Okay, tell me, I haven't grown taller, but my temper has grown a lot."

"...Can you please stop mentioning your height?"

"cannot."

Suppressing his anger, Guanxing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled it slowly, and then said calmly: "There are currently 253,336 lower-level Honkai beasts below the emperor level in Heaven, of which more than 70% are Honkai beasts. The bad beasts are all 'unemployed'.

"Regarding these 'unemployed' Honkaimons, some people believe that they work hard without merit. Most of them have served humans for hundreds of years, and there are many that have worked for thousands of years. They should have A good ending.

"Honkai beasts don't need to eat food anyway, they just need to absorb Honkai energy. Heaven can afford to raise them.

"However, other people believe that at least 99% of lower-level Honkai Beasts have no intelligence, let alone emotions. They only have the most basic 'programs' given by humans. They are just a tool, no different from hoes and axes. .

"Forcing them not to 'eliminate' them is just human beings moving themselves.

"Keeping these Honkai Beasts is a waste of unnecessary resources and a hidden danger. They may one day escape human control..."

With the continuous advancement of human civilization, the status of the lower-ranking Honkai Beasts in Heaven has become lower and lower. They were once hailed as "divine beasts" and could assist the combatants of Taixu Mountain in fighting.

However, as the number of fusion warriors in Heaven increased and their weapons and equipment became more and more sophisticated, people no longer needed them to continue fighting, and they became a burden on the battlefield.

So later on, most of the Honkai Beasts used in combat became coolies, responsible for doing some heavy and simple tasks, which was considered to be of considerable value.

However, in recent years, with the continuous large-scale mass production of Titan robots in the dirt, the status of the lower Honkaimon has once again dropped a notch.

Flexible, intelligent, and various types of Titan robots can do almost anything that the lower Honkaimon can do, and they are much better than Honkaimon.

Not only that, it can understand the instructions given by humans to the Titan robot, and it can also speak human language, making it easier to "communicate" with humans.

Very few Honkaimon can understand it, let alone speak human language. It needs humans to issue very formal and cumbersome instructions before it knows what it should do. Even so, it always makes mistakes, and sometimes it can only be done by modifying the "logic program" ” to make them understand.

"Which view do you prefer?" Wutong said nonchalantly while playing with the tea cup.

"The first."

Stargazing mused: "I think it is a good choice to let the Honkaiju beasts 'retire' like you. Heaven can afford to raise them.

"And...even if the Honkaimons can't do anything, they are still making contributions to mankind, because they are suffering the 'side effects' brought about by the development of civilization.

"Although the lower Honkaimon can only bear very few 'side effects', it is still bearing it, isn't it?"

"Just say it if you don't want to turn them into Honkai Crystals. There's no need to talk so much." Wutong said with a smile, "You are my only disciple, you can do whatever you want, and do whatever you want."

"But some people don't listen to my disciple's words..." Guanxing immediately pretended to be aggrieved.

"Okay, stop pretending. You should let many people know that you are here to find me, right? Ha~ He is such a good apprentice to use his master."

"Hey, master, have some tea."

Stargazing's face changed very quickly. She poured a cup of tea for Wutong and "got through" with a silly smile.

"Now that we've talked about the small things, it's time to get down to business, right? What are you here to do?"
