Chapter 360 Daughter Mo Tong
The future's intuition is undoubtedly sharp, and her worries are not without reason.
Because in the original plot of the game "Dawn", there are completely different directions for the cultivation of the construct larvae.
If she is cultivated in a positive direction, carefully cared for, and taught the truth of this world, she will stand on the side of mankind at the moment that determines the fate of the world in the future and become mankind's most solid ally.
If she is cultivated in a negative direction, treated only as a heterogeneous research object, and constantly bullied and exploited, she will become distorted in character and degenerate back to the traditional construct, cold-blooded and evil, and become the public enemy of mankind.
One of the necessary conditions for the "world-destroying ending" recognized as the most tragic in the game "Dawn" is the degeneration of the construct larvae.
Recalling the original plot, Su Mo sorted out his thoughts and said profoundly: "Future, I know you will have concerns, but you can trust me on this point."
"Whether it will cause a disaster is not determined by the young structure, but by us. Our goodwill or malice will have cause and effect."
"So, you can study the young structure in any way you want in the future, but you must remember that the past is the past. Don't treat this young structure that has nothing to do with the war a hundred years later as an alien just because humans and constructs have fought a doomsday war in history."
Future shrugged: "Don't worry, I am a Researchers pursue objective truth and will not look at her with tinted glasses. I believe that other people will not be so narrow-minded. "
"But have you ever thought about how we will get along in the future? Even if the larvae can perfectly mimic humans, they are different species from us after all."
Su Mo said without hesitation: "It's actually very simple, just treat her as a human. She will be like a normal human child in her childhood."
Su Mo said this because if the original plot follows the degeneration line of the larvae, the protagonist's approach is not to treat her as a human, but to lock her up in the experiment as a research sample.
In that dark life, the larvae face researchers who try to discover her secrets every day, as well as various cold instruments and almost abusive experiments.
Over time, the larvae begin to hate everyone around them, hate humans, and finally lead to a bad ending in various senses.
After hearing this, Weilai thought for a moment and smiled: "In short, just treat her as a real child, just as if you really gave birth to a baby."
Su Mo laughed: "You can use this analogy if you must. Of course, I am not saying that we cannot use her for research. Researching larvae is very important for our future, but we must grasp the right degree."
Weilai clapped his hands: "I understand. When I need her to cooperate with experiments in the future, I will make more arrangements to make her feel that she is playing games with us."
Su Mo gave a thumbs up: "You are the one who really understands."
At this time, Weilai remembered something: "By the way, she doesn't have a name yet. We can't always call her "she she she" or "structural larvae."
Su Mo nodded. This is indeed something that needs to be considered.
In the original plot, the larvae of the structure has its own name, but it was given by the original protagonist Ou Chenyu, whose surname is Ou.
Whether it is vanity or some kind of possessiveness, this larvae of the structure calls itself dad. If it still uses its original surname Ou, it will be so disgusting.
Regardless of the original plot, the structure larva is now his Su Mo's, and this baby must have the surname Su.
Thinking about it, Su Mo remembered that the structure larva has a pair of big black eyes, and a light flashed in his mind, saying: "Black eyes, black ink. Eye pupils. Ink pupils Su Mo Tong, how about this name?"
Future smiled and said: "Not bad, it fits the appearance very well, and it sounds good."
Su Mo and her high-fived: "Then it's decided happily! Su, Mo, Tong~"
The next thing is, as Future said before, Su Mo has a nanny identity, and he must take good care of Su Mo Tong, and can't let her become the big boss in the end of the world.
Regarding Su Mo Tong's true identity, only the most core members in the group know it. Of course, such a big baby can't be hidden, and he will have to give an explanation to outsiders at that time.
Originally, Su Mo wanted to make an excuse that he picked her up from outside, but then he thought it was wrong.
He remembered that when he was a child, his parents joked that he was not their biological child, but was picked up from the trash can. He cried for a long time and had a shadow in his heart for several years.
Although Su Motong was indeed "picked up", in her mind, she felt that Su Mo was her father. The rash use of the rash rhetoric of "picked up" might have an impact on her young mind.
After thinking about it, Su Mo could only bite the bullet and make up a story of "the reunion of father and daughter who were separated in the early years".
As for who the child's mother is, don't ask, if you ask, it's the unknown ex-wife who died of dystocia.
Su Motong's identity was made up for the time being, and everything began to get on track, but Su Mo soon discovered a problem.
He doesn't know how to take care of the baby.
On the 88th floor of the Edge Building, the small living room of Su Mo's room.
It has been redecorated here, and the furniture is in a very cute pink style, with dolls and puppets everywhere.
Su Mo and Su Motong sat across a small table, staring at each other.
Su Mo scratched his face and asked dryly: "Baby, are you hungry?"
Su Motong shook his head.
Su Mo: "Oh, then eat when you're hungry."
The two continued to stare at each other.
After staring at each other, Su Mo suddenly asked: "Baby, are you thirsty?"
Su Motong shook his head again.
Su Mo: "Oh, then drink when you're thirsty."
Su Motong blinked his sleepy eyes and yawned with a hum.
Su Mo was happy: "Motong, are you sleepy? How about sleeping?"
Su Motong shook his head and pouted: "No, I'm a little bored."
Still staring at each other, the atmosphere was so awkward.
Su Mo looked calm, but in fact he was sweating.
What should I do now?
How do I take care of a creature like a baby?
I'm a virgin, and I'm asked to take care of a baby. Isn't this task a bit beyond the scope? !
"Ding-ling-ling." At this moment, the phone rang.
After Su Mo answered the call, he became even more entangled.
Don't forget, he is the leader of the mercenary group. With the current size of Edge, and in a period of rapid growth, there are too many social events outside.
The phone call just now was to have business negotiations with someone.
Now what should Su Motong do?
Let alone other things, it is not appropriate to bring a child with her to discuss business.
But Su Motong can't be left alone here.
Suddenly, Su Mo had an idea.
If he can't split himself, he can find his companions.
There is strength in numbers. If he can't take care of the child himself, then let everyone take care of it together.
There are so many talents around, it is impossible that there is not even one person who can take care of the child.
Su Mo took Su Motong and went to find the future first.
The future is undoubtedly the most suitable person. Let her take care of the child and observe and study while taking care of the child.
But unfortunately, the future has been too busy recently. The month before she helped Su Mo build the earth-sailing spacecraft, all the work on hand was stagnant. Now she needs to rush to catch up with the progress, and she really can't spare the energy.
There was no time in the future, so Su Mo could only go find someone else.
Su Mo ran to the door of Nuo Bai's room and knocked on the door.
After Nuo Bai opened the door, he saw Su Mo holding Su Mo Tong standing outside. He blinked and picked up his phone to type:
[What's wrong? ]
Su Mo looked into the room.
Nuo Bai's room was simple and tidy, similar to when she lived in a single apartment before, and she also raised a few cats again.
Su Mo chuckled and said, "Nuo Bai, I'm going out to talk about something soon, can you help me take care of the baby?"
Nuo Bai was stunned for a moment and seemed a little restrained:
[I don't know how to take care of a baby.]
Su Mo stuffed Su Mo Tong into her arms without saying anything: "I believe you can do it! Look at how well you raise your cat. Aren't cats and babies both animal cubs? Raising a baby is similar to raising a cat. How do you raise a cat, raise a baby the same way."
Nuo Bai was at a loss and held Su Mo Tong in his arms, pulling the corners of his mouth awkwardly, and typed:
[Then let me try? 】
"Okay, okay, I'm at ease with you doing things." Su Mo pinched Su Mo Tong's chubby little face and said, "Mo Tong, Dad has something to do and has to go out first. You have to listen to Sister Bai."
Su Mo Tong hugged Nuo Bai's neck and nodded sensibly: "Yeah!"
After saying goodbye, Su Mo went out to discuss things.
After discussing business matters, it was already afternoon. Su Mo hurried back to the Edge Building to see the results of Nuo Bai's childcare.
When Su Mo came to the corridor where Nuo Bai's room was located, the door was open.
As soon as he walked over, he suddenly found a red spot on the floor.
He was still wondering what this was, and there was a burst of intensive and rapid running sounds in the room, and several small shadows rushed out.
Su Mo Tong was seen crawling on the ground quickly with his hands and feet, followed by two fat cats, and rushed out in pursuit of the red spot.
The person manipulating the red light spot was very skilled, sometimes making it twist in a snake-like manner on the floor, and sometimes making it climb up the wall. The man and two cats were lured to pounce everywhere, twisting and rolling wildly.
This scene petrified Su Mo.
He rushed into the room and saw Nuo Bai sitting on a chair, shaking a laser pen in his hand.
Seeing Su Mo, Nuo Bai turned off the laser pen and raised his hand to greet him.
Su Mo asked stupidly: "What are you doing?"
Nuo Bai blinked and typed:
[Playing with cats]
Su Mo: "You can play with cats, but why do you play with Mo Tong too."
He picked up Su Mo Tong from the ground. The little guy didn't know how long he had been playing and rolling with the cats. He was covered with dirty cat hair. He was just held in the air by Su Mo, looking at him cutely with a pair of big black eyes.
Nuo Bai touched the back of his head and typed:
[Didn’t you say that you should raise a child the same way you raise a cat?]
Su Mo smiled unhappily and said, “Sister, there is a rhetorical device in Chinese called metaphor, metaphor! Do you know what metaphor is?”
Nuo Bai scratched his face unconsciously and looked at Su Mo a little embarrassed.
Although Nuo Bai had done something outrageous, he had helped take care of the baby for the whole morning, so Su Mo could not complain. He comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. You've worked hard. You continue to play with the cats. I'll take Mo Tong to clean up."
Su Mo returned to the room and took the roller Nuo Bai gave to help Su Mo Tong wipe the cat hair off her body.
While wiping, Su Mo Tong suddenly raised her little hand, stretched out her little tongue, and kept licking the back of her hand. This action was obviously learned from those cats, and she learned it very well.
Su Mo hurriedly pressed her hand to dissuade her: "Mo Tong, cats are cute, but there is no need to learn their actions. You are a human, not a cat. This is unhygienic."
Su Mo Tong tilted her little head: "Hmm!"
She put her little hand down obediently.
Su Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At present, it seems that she will not become a cat lady after raising her.
Just after helping Su Mo Tong wipe the cat hair, another call came in. The administrative assistant reminded him that it was time to meet the guests in the afternoon.
Su Mo was suddenly overwhelmed. He had to go out again, and Nuo Bai didn't look like he could take care of the baby. Who should he entrust the baby to?
Suddenly, Su Mo thought of two people.
He took Su Motong to the arcade in the entertainment area on the 80th floor. As expected, KK and Dongdong were playing games there.
The two had just finished a game and were eating snacks while complaining about each other's performance in the previous game.
Dongdong saw Su Mo and Su Motong and raised his hand to say hello: "Boss, sister Motong."
Su Mo waved to them: "Come here."
"What's wrong?" Dongdong and KK ran over together.
Su Mo coughed lightly and said, "I have something to do this afternoon, please help me take care of the baby."
Dongdong and KK looked at each other and said strangely, "Boss, do you think we are good at taking care of babies?"
Su Mo explained, "You two are young, and you are only ten years younger than Mo Tong. You are both children, so you will definitely have a better understanding when playing."
"Uh" Dongdong was speechless.
Su Mo grabbed Dongdong's hand and asked her to hold Su Mo Tong's hand together, saying, "This important task is left to you and KK! Don't feel pressured. It's just taking care of the baby, but it's actually playing with her."
Dongdong put one hand on his waist and said, "Okay, then I'll try. Let's go, sister Mo Tong, I'll take you to the gym next door to play."
Dongdong and KK held Su Mo Tong's hands on the left and right and ran to the gym.
Su Mo was more careful this time and followed behind secretly, observing the movements inside through the crack in the door.
The gym was very large, and the three were standing in the basketball court.
KK took off his coat and threw it away, took the basketball thrown to him, hooked his finger at Su Motong, and then stiffened his neck and began to dribble the ball back and forth, with extremely funny movements.
Dongdong was laughing so hard that his waist couldn't stand up straight. Although Su Motong didn't understand, he also found it interesting and laughed there.
Su Mo, who was outside the door, was overjoyed.
It was indeed a correct decision. Children should be taken care of by children. They played together in a short while.
Moreover, playing in the gym can also exercise the body. Although there seems to be no such thing as "exercise" for constructs, more exercise is always good.
Seeing Su Motong and the two having fun, Su Mo left with satisfaction.
The afternoon's affairs were discussed until after seven o'clock in the evening. Su Mo and his business partners had dinner before returning.
Back to the Edge Building, Su Mo didn't find anyone in the entertainment area on the 80th floor. Later, after asking around, he learned that Dongdong and KK had taken Su Motong to the top floor.
Su Mo walked to Dong Dong's room. Before he entered the door, he heard her full-bodied voice coming from inside: "Come on! Do another one! Come on!!!"
Su Mo thought: Are you still exercising?
The 81st floor and above are the core members' living areas. Each is a specially customized super-large room. Dong Dong's room is thousands of square meters. There is a private gym in it specially built for her request.
The door was not closed at this time. Su Mo walked through the huge living room, followed the sound to the gym, and looked inside.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded. (End of this chapter)
