14 Chapter 14: Do you still have the pride of a genius!?
Translator: 549690339
Blue Star, District 2,
Dragon Sparrow Street,
Logan’s figure gradually materialized in his room, with slightly curly hair and dark eyes on his handsome face, showing a calm expression.
Pushing the door and entering the living room, a large table of dishes was already set. The people sitting at the table surprised him a bit.
Besides his parents, there was a familiar face.
“Little Dan is out.”
Logan’s mother, Leanne Tang, stood up when she saw Logan come out, and led him to introduce the three guests who came to their home,
“These two are your cousin and your cousin’s mother. A few days ago, I found out that your cousin and us actually work at the same company with your dad.”
The middle-aged, square-faced man sitting at the main seat and the younger cousin’s mother nodded slightly. Their eyes on Logan carried a sense of distance.
Leanne Tang continued to introduce a young girl,
“This is Melinda Tang; you should call her cousin.”
“Cutie is extraordinary, born with the initial race of the high-level Monarch race, the Shadow Elf clan. She has a boundless future.”
“Perhaps, she’ll even be the first transcendent player in the Tang family!”
“You should get closer to your cousin.”
Seeing the awkward smile on his father, usually more reserved, Logan could only nod repeatedly.
At this point, he understood the situation.
It turns out his parents worried that he would be overwhelmed by awakening in the lowest-ranking Goblin Race and put himself in danger, so they sought help.
What normal guest would sit in the main seat when they visit someone’s home?
Even if this cousin was his mother’s cousin …
Logan fell silent for a moment, looking at the enthusiastic smile on Leanne Tang’s face, the restraint on his father’s face, and the light distance from his cousin and cousin’s mother.
As for Melinda Tang… Logan didn’t have any particular thoughts about her.
Just as Logan was about to nod in agreement, he didn’t expect his cousin Melinda to stand up with excitement, unable to suppress her excitement, and take charge of the conversation:
“Auntie, Uncle, don’t worry!”
“I will definitely take good care of my cousin!”
Meanwhile, she screamed in her heart,
‘Oh my God!’
‘Oh my God, my cousin is actually Logan!’
‘What do I do now? How am I going to keep him safe?’
‘No matter, we are both Deity players. There’s no rule about not marrying someone within three generations of kin. Let’s wait and see, there’s still a chance.’
‘Hmm, seeing Logan’s expression, he probably can’t accept it yet. His reality of falling from genius to rock bottom.’
‘I must not upset him.’
‘Right, he must be needing some information on how Goblins can get stronger now.’
‘Maybe I can start with that…’
“Ahem, Little Dan, right? Sit down quickly and let’s eat.”
The cousin spoke up, and the cousin’s mother followed suit,
“Yes, let’s all eat. We can talk while we eat.”
“Yes, yes, let’s eat and chat.”
Leanne Tang hurriedly replied, “Little Dan, you and Cutie sit together, and get to know each other.”
Her cousin wrinkled his brows subconsciously but didn’t say anything. Everyone settled down before picking up food and making small talk. He picked up a glass of spirit wine and smiled,
“Sister Leanne, Brother-in-law Roshe, let me toast to you two. Congratulations on your promotion and being transferred to the Green Emperor Research Department. This is the company’s top-tier department now.”
“Oh, cousin, you’re too polite.”
Under the “superior’s” toast, everyone raised their glasses to take a sip. Melinda Tang was no exception, but her bright eyes were staring at Logan throughout the process.
Feeling helpless, Logan’s father had to speak up,
“Cutie, you and Little Dan should be Deity players in the same batch, right?”
“When it’s convenient, please take good care of your cousin.”
He deliberately emphasized the word “care.”
He knew the self-esteem of these young men very well and deliberately emphasized his tone, hoping Logan could realize the difficulties and step back.
Tanner knew why his cousin had invited him to visit their home. Wasn’t it because he was interested in his precious daughter?
Even if it wasn’t a setup, just wanting his daughter to help Logan, he wouldn’t want that either.
He paid attention to recent events too!
How dangerous were Deity players in the T World Community?
His daughter was fortunate to be randomly assigned to a high-level Monarch race, having self-protection power and a great future.
But under the current situation, she was barely able to protect herself, let alone having spare energy to take on a burden!
At first, Leanne Tang and Roshe didn’t sign a contract to transfer their Primal Believers and Primal World early on, and they didn’t sell at a good price.
Instead, they insisted on consuming all their resources before selling, which had no advantages and even signed a 30-year long-term contract. The contract was about to expire soon, and since the experiments in the world were important, their treatment had improved a bit.
Of course, what Leanne Tang said about just learning about it recently was to hide her embarrassment and not let Logan look down on them too much. In fact, she knew about his middle management position in the company a long time ago but had no chance to get in touch with him.
If it hadn’t been for their involvement with him and his needing their help, and the fact that it was just a meeting without any matchmaking purposes, he wouldn’t have come to eat this so-called “home-cooked meal”!
Before coming, he was confident in his daughter.
Being a high-level Monarch Race wasn’t a joke, and even calling her a genius would be modest. How could she possibly hit on a mere Prisoner Breed Goblin?
But what happened after meeting them ignited his anger, and he wished he could directly grab Melinda Tang’s ears and ask her sternly,
“Do you have any self-awareness of being a genius?!”
“Your eyes are almost melting! You’re practically sticking to him!”
The next words from Melinda Tang further ignited his anger, making him completely speechless.
Melinda Tang, with her red cheeks, said softly after having a few drinks,
“Brother Logan, let me tell you, I met a Believer who was also a Goblin just a few days ago. He’s so powerful that the Goblin chieftain killed a Third Order Mantis Sword Sect member in an instant!”
“I’m very close to him, so add me as a hyperdimensional mark friend. I’ll see if I can introduce him to you…”
“Very close?”
Logan couldn’t help but snap. How could he not know he was close with this little girl he had saved on a whim?
‘You crafty little brat, you deserve to die!’
Mount Tanner was feeling suffocated, ‘And you Melinda Tang, what a fine job you did! You added the contact information of a guy willingly, is that what you should be doing?’
‘You wait and see how I deal with you when we get back.’
Melinda Tang shivered subconsciously, but she raised her flushed little head, scanned around without finding her enemy, and fell asleep on the table the next second.
“Hehe, Cutie is drunk.”
Mount Tanner’s lips twitched with a stiff smile, and as he heard Melinda Tang mumbling drunkenly about “Brother Logan, hehe, Logan…” and such, his smile became dangerous. He stood up and said,
“Sister Leanne, Brother Roshe, I’m sorry, but Cutie is drunk. I’ll take her home now, and we’ll talk another time.”
Mount Tanner: (╯#-皿-)╯~~╧═╧
Cousin’s Mother: (⊙.⊙)
Leanne Tang: (¬､¬)
Roshe: (￢_￢)
Logan: ╮(๑•́₃•̀๑)╭
After sending Mount Tanner’s family away, Leanne Tang, Roshe, and Logan sat together in silence.
Glancing at the father and son, Leanne Tang sighed and silently cleaned up the table and entered the kitchen.
With Logan not speaking for a long time, Roshe broke the silence,
“Dad once gave up the Path of Deities.”
“Dad knows you’re a genius and doesn’t want to give up, but Dad doesn’t have the ability to do more.”
Roshe’s eyes reddened slightly. As the pillar of a family, admitting his lack of ability in front of his son, who most wanted to establish his father’s authority, was painful for him. But after the pain came relief,
“This is the Deity Crystal that your mom and I have saved up over the years.”
Roshe said, opening his hyperdimensional mark for a face-to-face transaction, intending to give Logan the tens of thousands of Faith Points they had saved up over the years under the harsh contract.
But Logan shook his head slightly, opened his Deity panel, and showed it to Roshe.
“This…”
Seeing the five-digit Faith Points on Logan’s panel, which were several times what he and Leanne had saved up, Roshe was stunned.
“I have the ability to walk my own path.”
“You and Mom just need to take care of yourselves. If work is too tiring, you can quit, especially since your contract is about to expire anyway. I can support you.”
After seeing the “humility” that Roshe and Leanne Tang had shown for his sake, Logan had decided to take care of them as his own parents. He had never experienced someone willing to let go of their dignity for his future since he was an orphan in his previous life,
“But I hope you and Mother can keep this a secret for now.”
With Roshe and Leanne Tang nodding continuously and their eyes reddening, they were both worried and relieved to see their son’s success.
“Alright, you two carry on. I have to go back to the World Fragment now.”
His parents nodded and didn’t forget to give him some usual reminders…
———-
This chapter may not be written very well, but the little author wants to sort out the protagonist’s family affairs and then go all out.
Please don’t abandon the book if you don’t like this chapter, give the little author a chance, thank you.
Actually, the little author could have stretched this part out, and there are many writing techniques that the protagonist could have used to stay silent or accept Roshe’s Faith Points, making the readers anticipate the protagonist’s future…
It’s just that the little author doesn’t wish to spoil a father’s heartfelt passion, although the result might not be so good, at least the protagonist is a normal person (knowing that the parents are worried but not telling them so they continue to worry while making it easier for himself in the future, which isn’t normal)…
From tomorrow on, the protagonist’s journey as a Dominator of the Heavens will officially set sail!
I hope you all can support the little author, as the [Read and Follow] numbers are very low, leaving the little author anxious.
