"Goodbye, the Mysterious World is about to descend, I’m really not in the mood for this right now," Mu Rufeng quickly declined.
"Just because the Mysterious World is descending, you should find a wife and have a kid even more. To put it simply, it would ensure your own bloodline continues. To put it grandly, it could mean the continuation of the human race," Tian Lin persuaded.
"Then why don’t you hurry up and get a wife and have a kid? I remember you’re already forty this year, right?" Mu Rufeng said indifferently.
"Eh? How did you know I got married? How did you know my wife is pregnant?" Tian Lin exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh? Tian, when did you get married??? And your wife’s pregnant?" Mu Rufeng asked in shock.
When Tian Lin was a minister in Changsha, he was a super eligible bachelor.
"Oh, it was after I got transferred to the Capital. I met someone and got married just like that," Tian Lin said.
"No way, you got married without a wedding ceremony?" Mu Rufeng said, somewhat surprised.
"Well, a home run was quicker. We thought about dating a bit longer, but just last week we found out she’s pregnant and the timing felt right. We’ve already registered our marriage and the wedding is being planned."
"You better remember to come over," Tian Lin said, laughing.
"Sure, sure, sure, I’ll be there."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Rufeng dialed Cheng Youlin back.
But the call didn’t go through, and it showed as engaged.
Mu Rufeng just shrugged and didn’t make much of it, and started clanging away, eating his breakfast.
A few minutes later, Cheng Youlin called back.
"My dear Minister Mu, you’re finally up? Please take your Ma Qiu home," Cheng Youlin’s voice came through as soon as the call connected.
"Huh? What’s up? What’s wrong with Ma Qiu? Isn’t he at my house...huh?" Mu Rufeng suddenly realized something – right, where was Ma Qiu?
"I can’t manage him anymore, so hurry up and come over. I’ll send you a link; check it out for yourself," Cheng Youlin said and then promptly hung up.
Shortly after, Cheng Youlin sent a link over WeChat.
Mu Rufeng immediately clicked on it and was redirected to a short video app.
It was a live-streaming room that was currently broadcasting, with over 100,000 viewers and continuous waves of gift effects, making it hard for Mu Rufeng to even see the screen clearly.
Mu Rufeng promptly pressed down on the middle of the screen and swiped to the right, and the stream cleared up instantly.
Then, Mu Rufeng saw the host of the stream, and the host wasn’t human.
Right, not a person, but a Fiery Fire Motorcycle – Ma Qiu.
Behind Ma Qiu were eight shiny new electric scooters, all with their rear wheels spinning on the ground while their front wheels were lifted, swinging back and forth.
The stream also played a highly catchy song, and Ma Qiu, leading a group of companions, danced to the music with great energy.
Watching pretty girls dancing? No, no, no, that’s already outdated.
Now in this Mysterious World, vehicles can not only talk and think but also live-stream and dance. It completely shattered everyone’s worldview.
Ah, and it shattered Mu Rufeng’s too.
"Ma Qiu, this little guy, disappeared for one night and now he’s started live streaming?" At this moment, Mu Rufeng was so shocked, his jaw nearly dropped.
"Though, he dances quite well, the popularity is high, the gifts are also... eh? Hm? Ah?" Mu Rufeng noticed something amiss.
This live-streaming account... seemed to be... his own account.
Mu Rufeng immediately clicked on the live room avatar, and was it redirecting him back to his own homepage?
"What the hell? Two accounts? One account? How did Ma Qiu log into my account?" Mu Rufeng was baffled.
But when Mu Rufeng looked at his homepage, he couldn’t maintain his composure.
His username was still ’Zombie King’, but behind it, in brackets, were the words ’Owner of Ma Qiu’.
In addition, there was more information about Ma Qiu in the profile below.
[I am Ma Qiu, a Level 5 vehicle, articulate and musical, aware of the maps of both the Mysterious and real worlds, able to activate Mecha Mode and Fiery Fire War Machine Mode, can become a Level 7 vehicle at the highest, has the ability to traverse space with supernatural powers, the owner is the Deputy Minister of the relevant department, Mu Rufeng]
Then, looking down, there was also an additional video.
He remembered he never posted a video.
Mu Rufeng clicked on it and saw the content was Ma Qiu in normal state, then activating Fiery Fire War Machine Mode, and finally performing stunts, even moving through the air leaving trails of fire.
Looking at the number of likes, well, a whopping thirteen million. Checking the time the video was posted, it was last night at ten o’clock.
Then he looked at his followers, and it had reached twenty million.
Twenty million new followers in one night???
Mu Rufeng immediately opened his messages, clicking through to the second page and messages kept pouring in with a constant ’999’, while new messages were continuously refreshing.
Previously, Mu Rufeng had commented on a very popular video and got an explosive 100,000 likes.
People kept replying, liking, messaging him privately, cursing him, and following him, which caused Mu Rufeng to be caught off guard and he simply blocked them all, sending them to the second page.
So Mu Rufeng hadn’t seen them when scrolling through short videos before.
"This Ma Qiu is really quite the player," Mu Rufeng said, eyeing the full spread of breakfast.
