Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

Page 194

After school yesterday, Kosmo, Desdobia, and other classmates made plans to go out and play together this afternoon, on the condition that they finish all the homework assigned by the school beforehand.

As for Kosmo, he didn't finish his homework last night. He got so sleepy while writing that he went back to bed to sleep.

Seeing Kosmo's embarrassed expression, Desdobia understood.

"There's not much homework this week, let me teach you how to do it," the girl said with a smile to the boy who had his head down.

"......good"

"But what about you?"

"Hmm, all written!"

Even with Desdobia's help, it was almost noon by the time Kosmo finished his homework.

Kosmo's mother let Desdovia stay for lunch and then go out to play together in the afternoon.

Kosmo's father had also returned by this time, but what surprised Kosmo was that lunch seemed to be quite lavish.

Moreover, Kosmo's parents are very affectionate.

Kosmo and Desdobia always felt like they were third wheels here, so after lunch, Kosmo and Desdobia quickly went out together.

The afternoon sunlight was so warm and inviting that it made me want to drowsily drift off to sleep.

Kosmo and Desdobia walked together down the street and soon arrived at the place they had arranged to meet their classmates, a park.

By this time, all of Kosmo's classmates had arrived one after another, and Desdobia, as the class monitor, quickly confirmed whether all the students who were supposed to come had arrived.

There aren't many places where a dozen or so young middle school students can agree to hang out together, so they naturally chose an amusement park in Canghai City.

However, after arriving at the amusement park, they had some disagreements about what games they wanted to play, and in the end, they all went their separate ways to play.

Soon only Kosmo and Desdobia remained.

"Aren't you going to play?" Kosmo asked.

“Aren’t you going?” Daisy Dobia countered.

"..." Kosmo didn't know what to say, so he fell silent.

“In that case, let’s go together,” Daisy Dobia said with a smile to Kosmo, her bright smile making Kosmo momentarily dazed.

Kosmo felt an inexplicable, overwhelming sadness, so much so that he wanted to cry. He had to hide it, wondering what was wrong with him.

"Hey? What's wrong, Kosmo?" Desdobia was very puzzled. She noticed that Kosmo seemed about to cry, even though he wasn't ostracized at school.

"...I just remembered that today is my parents' wedding anniversary," Kosmo said in a muffled voice.

“Oh, I see,” Daisy Dobia nodded, then suddenly remembered something and took out a delicate harmonica from her pocket.

"Well then, let's go. Would you like to hear me play the harmonica? I play it really well!"

The girl reached out her hand to the boy.

"it is good"

The boy also reached out and placed his hand on the girl's hand.

However, just as Kosmo and Desdobia were about to go play together, they suddenly saw that not far away, all their classmates were hiding next to a large doll, peeking out and looking at it with curious expressions.

After meeting Kosmo and Desdobia's gaze, all the students broke into bright smiles.

"..." Kosmo wanted to run away, but Desdobia held his hand.

Among the large mascots used as cover by the students, the amusement park staff sighed with emotion, "It's so good to be young."

Chapter 322 Morning (10)

At dawn, on a stretch of sea surrounding Canghai City, the sky was just beginning to lighten. The sea surface resembled a vast blue ribbon, rippling gently in the sea breeze. A red sun slowly rose from the horizon where the sea and sky met, its golden rays spilling onto the shimmering surface of the sea, as if draping it in a golden veil.

In a laboratory on an artificial island, the lights were still on. Several researchers who had worked all night glanced at the view of the sea outside the window, and their fatigue eased considerably.

"It's a new day again."

The researcher who spoke up received no response from the others, as they were all exhausted and had no desire to speak.

At that moment, a notification sounded on the researchers' communication devices.

"Finally, we can rest!" The researchers all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the notification.

Dr. Möbius, the head of the biological laboratory, told everyone to go and get some rest.

"Sigh, how did that infectious disease even emerge?"

"Who knows? It's made everyone work overtime urgently."

Fortunately, the cases of that infectious disease have been brought under control, and no further cases have been found so far.

The researchers chatted in small groups.

One of the researchers suddenly looked at someone.

"By the way, why hasn't Dr. Möbius come out yet?"

"The doctor said to wait a little longer, to continue the research."

The man replied.

The researchers both respected and feared Dr. Möbius, this young and beautiful doctor, because her achievements and talents were truly astonishing. She had already obtained a doctorate in biology at a young age, and after arriving in Canghai City, she began to lead an advanced biological laboratory, specializing in research in various fields of biology, including medicine.

However, because of this, after those peculiar infectious disease cases appeared in Canghai City, Dr. Mebius's laboratory received data on those infectious diseases to help analyze and study their situation.

This also forced researchers who were working on other biological research projects to stay and work overtime.

Actually, it was just helping with analysis and research. Although the biology lab is closely related to medicine, there are many more branches under biology. Analyzing infectious diseases is not something that Dr. Möbius's biology lab is good at at all.

However, since Dr. Mebius was very curious about this infectious disease, many researchers had no choice but to stay and help.

Dr. Möbius gave the researchers involved in the research some rewards and vacation time. Although many researchers worked through the night, most of them did not complain.

"Where is Klein?"

Another researcher suddenly asked.

"Ah, it seems she stayed too."

When Klein was mentioned, the researchers had mixed feelings. It wasn't that they had any issues with Klein, but rather that they were genuinely worried about his health.

Klein was also a very beautiful woman with a great talent for biology, and she became Dr. Möbius's assistant. But now her dark circles are very heavy, and she looks like she might collapse at any moment, which is really worrying.

However, during the examination, Klein seemed to be simply tired, not to the point of being overworked.

Inside the laboratory, Möbius and Klein stopped.

"Let's continue this afternoon," Möbius yawned. He needed to go to sleep now. Although staying up all night wasn't a problem, Möbius didn't want to do it, since some trouble might still come his way.

“Doctor, you have to attend a seminar in Canghai City at 2:30 this afternoon. You may not have time to come back this afternoon and will not be able to return to the laboratory until 10 pm. In addition, your parents…” Klein seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but he still insisted on speaking to Möbius.

"Alright, alright, I understand," Mebius interrupted Klein helplessly.

“Doctor, we should go and rest now,” Klein said.

“Hmm,” Mebius and Klein left the laboratory together.

On this artificial island, the researchers, including Möbius and Klein, lived in dormitories, except that Möbius's dormitory was occupied only by her and Klein.

After returning to his dormitory, Möbius casually washed his face and then prepared to rest. When he arrived at his room, Möbius was still setting his alarm on his phone, as the afternoon seminar was quite important.

However, when Mebius entered the room, he saw Klein lying on his bed.

“…” Mebius originally wanted Klein to go back to her room to sleep, but after seeing how soundly Klein was sleeping, Mebius gave up the idea and gradually became sleepy herself.

Mebius lay down next to Klein and smelled his fragrance. Strangely enough, although Mebius and Klein's daily routines were often chaotic, they still maintained a good foundation of beauty. Even without makeup, they were more beautiful than many people.

However, as Mebius closed her eyes, strange emotions welled up inside her, a complex mix of feelings including disappointment, joy, happiness, and regret.

But Mebius couldn't delve deeper; she was exhausted.

After closing his eyes, Möbius gradually drifted off to sleep.

Around noon, Mebius was awakened by the aroma of food. Just as she woke up, her phone alarm went off, waking Klein from his deep sleep.

"Hmm..." Klein opened his eyes groggily, only to find himself staring at Möbius, who had also opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other, and the air fell silent for a moment.

However, at that moment, Mebius and Klein smelled the aroma of the food, and their stomachs rumbled at the same time.

"Gurgle~~Gurgle"

"Doctor, why don't you get up and have lunch first? There's a seminar this afternoon," Klein blinked.

"Um"

Mebius got out of bed expressionlessly and straightened his wrinkled clothes.

However, what the two did not notice was that the aroma of the food was coming from outside the room.

"How did the Doctor end up in my bed?"

Klein suddenly asked a question out of the blue, and as soon as he said it, he regretted it. How could he have said that?

This is my room.

Mebius glanced at Klein expressionlessly.

"Oh, I misunderstood."

Klein nodded calmly, but Mebius noticed that Klein's ears had turned red.

Mebius silently analyzed Klein's physical condition, why her ears were red, her blood vessels, cells, emotions, and so on, while also concealing his own strange inner thoughts.

"What would you like to eat, Doctor?" Klein asked.

But then she realized she'd rather not ask, because she knew Möbius only ever had one answer when it came to what to eat.

Instant noodles

Although Möbius and Klein were not short of money, and the biological laboratory built on the artificial island was led by Möbius, the research funding was naturally not lacking. However, the vast majority of the research funding was devoted to biological research.

With ample research funding, the laboratory naturally produced a great deal of research results, and Mebius received so many awards that she was overwhelmed with gratitude. However, she still invested a lot of the award money back into the laboratory.

Mebius had no interest in things like enjoyment.

Even though there was a dedicated, nutritious canteen on the artificial island, Mebius never went there; she preferred the convenience of instant noodles.

Klein had been Möbius's assistant for several years and was naturally familiar with Möbius's personality.

Asking Mebius what he wanted for lunch was less helpful than letting Klein decide for herself. However, she knew she had to bring food back, and when she returned, she would find a bucket of instant noodles that had already been eaten.

God knows where Dr. Mebius stockpiled instant noodles.

"cough cough"

A soft, aged cough sounded at the doorway of the room.

Möbius frowned, turned around, and froze on the spot. Klein looked towards the door, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Mom and Dad, what brings you here?" Möbius asked speechlessly.

"Is that not allowed?" Mebius's mother walked into the room and asked with a stern face.

"We've made lunch for you. Come and eat if you're hungry."

"Mébius's father said with a smile."

"What a nuisance, why did you come here if there was nothing wrong?"

Klein noticed that although Mebius was saying it was troublesome, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

When Mebius stepped out of her room, she saw four dishes and a soup laid out on the table in the dormitory living room. The enticing aroma wafted into Mebius's nose, whetting her appetite.

"Sit down, everyone, and eat while it's hot. I learned this from the local chef," Möbius's father said, pulling Möbius to sit down with him.

“Silly daughter, I’ve heard from others that you never eat properly. How can this be? Look how thin you’ve become,” Möbius’s mother continued to nag, while serving Möbius rice and dishes.

Mebius accepted the meal prepared by his parents and said something after hearing his mother's words.

"Mom, you're so annoying!"

"Hey, can't I even say a few words to you?"

"You used to be just like me, you didn't eat properly either."

"How are these the same?"

Mebius's father watched the mother and daughter arguing with a smile, nodding in agreement from time to time, and occasionally putting food on their plates, even though he wasn't very skilled at using chopsticks.
