Vacation time always passes very quickly. More than five years passed in a flash. When the doctor come over with a petri dish at the black market, Chi Zhao's heart was indifferent and he even had a slight urge to laugh but now, after almost six years, Chi Zhao's mentality had changed dramatically.
Standing in front of his place, a middle-aged aunt saw Chi Zhao return and immediately walked over to talk to him. It had been five years since Chi Zhao moved to this place and everyone knew that he was a single father and also a very powerful guide, so they took care of him very well.
When he first moved to this town, Chi Zhao didn't have a lot of money in his pockets. The black market was indeed worthy of being called a black market; it basically could be described with one word: Black.
In less than a year, they had taken all his savings. When he didn't have a child, Chi Zhao thought he only had to ensure that they didn't go hungry and never considered what it would be like in the future but now that he had an extra little guy waiting to be fed, Chi Zhao's paternal love index came online in an instant. Very soon afterwards, a clinic was opened.
It wasn't a clinic in an ordinary sense, it was a clinic dedicated to sentinels.
For sentinels without a guide, they would need to go to a white noise room provided by the hospital to cultivate for a day or two every now and then. The so-called white noise are sounds of nature like the sound of wind and water. In such a room, the sentinel could only hear the sounds of nature and all other stimulating sounds are removed. After staying in a room like this for a few days, the tense spirits of the sentinels would be able to relax.
While the hospital provided a white noise room, Chi Zhao provided a noise free room. He covered the entire clinic with his own spiritual power such that, regardless or whether they're a sentinel, guide or even an ordinary person, they would feel tranquil and at peace the moment they walked in.
Chi Zhao relied on this clinic to make a living and support his family. Because the effect was very good, most of the townspeople knew of him and through word of mouth, Chi Zhao's clinic also became well known. It was to the point where sentinels from all over the world are willing to come here to relax.
The people are warm, and the business was good. It was only then that Chi Zhao understood what it meant by a vacation world. He even no longer wanted to leave this place.
Chi Zhao's life was very comfortable while the system's life was filled with passion. It even no longer prepared for the final competition and nagged non-stop in Chi Zhao's mind every day.
It was nothing more than trying to persuade Chi Zhao to return. If he didn't return now, everything would be too late to salvage!
Chi Zhao was indifferent, "Everything is already ruined anyway so what's the point of returning? The plot has already collapsed since the beginning; the protagonist won't be taking care of someone else's child but his own now. What's the point of going back since it's like this?"
[...Even if the plot has collapsed, don't we have other ways to complete the task?]
"You're referring to abuse but how to abuse?"
The system opened its mouth wanting to answer but, in the end, nothing was spoken. It instead found itself unable to answer.
That's right, how to abuse?
....
In the past, he was able to abuse because it was an easy world where he could succeed even while lying down. Chi Zhao had only just entered the world and didn't have to do anything before a poor relationship was established with the protagonist. Following this, the two loved and hated each other, and that was why abuse could occur. But right now, Chi Zhao and the protagonist had no grievances and he also didn't sleep together with the psycho brother.
The main problem between the protagonist and the original owner was that the original owner couldn't love the protagonist, thereby hurting the protagonist. If Chi Zhao were to act out that scene now….The system tried to imagine it.
—- Leo, I like you.
—-That's great, I also love you.
System: "...…"
The system was frustrated. It didn't know how to persuade Chi Zhao to return to the main star and to continue with completing his task. Chi Zhao seemed fully intent on planting himself here on this planet but when night came, he suddenly said he was going to return to the main planet.
[Why are you suddenly changing your mind?]
Chi Zhao turned his head and looked at his son who was playing a game of 'whoever moves, whoever's hair gets plucked' with Little Red. He then said to the system in a very serious tone, "This afternoon my neighbour Audrey told me that the schools here are allocated according to the register. If there are a lot of schools in the area, then the best school would be very popular and would basically fill up on the first day of registration."

After hearing this, the system still didn't understand Chi Zhao's words.
[So…..?]
"So we have to quickly go back! If we continue delaying it, Joey won't be able to attend the best school in the country this year!"
System: "...."
The system almost had a breakdown.
I said all those words and tried so hard to persuade you for so many days but in the end you what made you change your mind was your son's education?!
The system felt very tired. It no longer wanted to talk to Chi Zhao anymore.
...….
In any case, just the fact that he was returning was enough. After making that decision, in less than a week, Chi Zhao took care of everything over here on this planet. The clinic was closed, the house was rented out and all the savings were taken along with him. Holding his little one's small hands, Chi Zhao boarded the spaceship bound for the main star.
Chi Zhao had named his son Joey and he is currently a little less than five years old. He has a very quiet personality and gets along with his peers not too well but also not too poorly. His superhuman gene had already started showing itself since his birth and right now, despite not having gone to school yet, Joey was able learn a lot of elementary skills with just one look. Chi Zhao was worried that he would mature too fast because he was too smart so he always took him out to play or invited a bunch of children to play at home, but it was all useless.
Joey didn't like playing with his peers. He would rather play 'I hit you, you hit me' with Little Red over playing with building blocks with the other children. Chi Zhao was puzzled for a long time but Little Red helped him figure out why.
Joey felt that those children were too dumb and too boring to play with.
...
Such a scoundrel personality must've been inherited from the scoundrel protagonist!
But when he thought about it, Chi Zhao felt that it was also understandable for Joey to think this. After all, they were not people from the same world. Joey's favourite thing to do was to read while other children his age liked watching cartoons. Joey was the protagonist's child, so he was destined not to be ordinary. If he were to bring him back to the talent-filled main star, perhaps he would be able to find some like-minded friends.
This was why Chi Zhao wanted to return to the main star. He could live on a remote planet for the rest of his life but he couldn't deprive of his child's right to soar higher.
At night, the father and son slept in the same room. The room on the spacecraft was relatively small but fortunately it had all the necessary facilities. After coaxing the child to sleep, Chi Zhao looked towards the vast starry sky.
When he was on a spaceship last time, he was constantly in fear because his destination at the time was an illegal black market and he wasn't able to enjoy the view. Now that he was in the mood to, Chi Zhao looked out at the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic look.
It has really been a long, long time.
The success points had already been added to his account two years ago. Unsurprisingly, the final score was 10. The system scanned Chi Zhao's body but couldn't figure out what he was thinking so it could only ask directly.
[What are you thoughts about the task?]
Chi Zhao retracted his gaze and smiled, "Do you think Joey and Leopold look alike?"
The system spoke truthfully.
[No.]
The protagonist had platinum white hair and a pair of alluring emerald green eyes while Joey had flaxen hair and ordinary tea-grey eyes. The facial features of the two were also very different. The protagonist's facial features were serious and cold, like an unreachable flower at the top of a mountain. Joey's features on the other hand had not fully developed yet but it could already be seen that he didn't look serious at all and even had an androgenous type of appearance. When he grows up, he would most definitely have the appearance that is popular with young girls.
Speaking of this, the system sighed. The fake child the original owner gave birth to was three parts similar in appearance to the protagonist, but the real child didn't look at all like the protagonist. It really didn't understand how human genes worked.

Hearing the system's answer, Chi Zhao's smile deepened, "Then, do you think the protagonist hates Noah?"
The system thought about it again.
[Probably not to the extent of hate but maybe just irritated. After all, he was like a fly, always pestering him….]
Seeing the smile on its hosts face become more and more strange, the system fell silent for a moment.
[Just say it. What on earth are you planning? Stop playing games.]
Chi Zhao straightened up his sitting posture, reached out and snapped his finger.
"It's very simple. Doesn't Leopold hate me? I will go around from time to time to show my presence and at the same time, I will do my own things; study, raise the child, go on blind dates."
That's right. Chi Zhao is still single guide. He is twenty-eight this year and is almost twenty-nine. For a skilled guide who is on the older side, the country would step in to arrange blind dates.
After it quickly sorted everything out, the system felt a little complicated.
[You're planning to…..]
"That's right!" Chi Zhao's voice held some excitement, "He doesn't know who I am, and he will definitely continue to hate me. Once I've shown my presence enough and he falls for me, he will then fall into self-doubt and be conflicted over whether he should accept me but by then I would already be on a blind date with another person. Even if we're not together, it's good to get to know a few more people and use it to anger the protagonist. What a great idea!"
"Oh and there's Joey. If even you don't think they look alike, others definitely wouldn't think it either. As long as I don't say it, no one would know who Joey's father is. I can just randomly generate a tragic story saying that Joey's father passed away while protecting the country. How could the living defeat the dead? Isn't that right, system?"
When he asked the last question, Chi Zhao's voice rose happily. The system silently looked at Chi Zhao whose grin was become more and more strange and couldn't help but light a candle for the unfortunate protagonist.
So pitiful to become entangled with a lover like this.
...
Looking forward to his plans playing out, Chi Zhao soon fell asleep. On the other side on the main star, the protagonist Leopold was facing a great trial.
Almost all the members of the Grenoch family had gathered, interrogating Leo like he had committed a great crime.
"Miss Victoria is a level one guide and her family background is similar to yours too, what else are you dissatisfied with?! We're just asking you to meet her, not asking you for your life!"
The one who spoke was Leo's father. Leo silently raised his head, "I said, I have a partner."
It was those words again. Leo's father's face turned green. When Leo said those words at the beginning, the others believed him, but many years had passed. If you still believed him now, there must be something wrong with your brain.
"Where is that partner you say you have? Bring them over for us to see!"
