“Report, Captain. We found seven bodies. There are large amounts of blood and some recovery potion bottles in the grass farther away. Looks like someone else survived and got away.” A member of the forensic team came over to report. Ye Su, standing nearby, overheard him.
He and Kuxi exchanged a glance. Damn, that guy had been down to 5 HP earlier, and he’d completely forgotten about him. The bastard had run off!
The patrol captain’s eyes lit up. What else was there to ask? If they caught the guy, they could learn everything they needed to know.
“You’ve seen the criminal, right? Can you describe what he looks like?” The patrol captain turned to Ye Su and Kuxi again. Ye Su was happy to describe him—only, he gave a completely inaccurate description.
After all, if they caught that guy, wouldn’t it expose the fact that Ye Su was a big shot? Besides, he wasn’t worried about letting some level-30-or-so loser get away.
The patrol captain decided they might catch the criminal today and excitedly led his subordinates off to search the entire city. What they couldn’t have known was that they’d never find the culprit—not in this lifetime.
……
When the people leave, the tea goes cold. Well… in this case, the shop was left cold—and it really was cold.
The shop was riddled with holes, and much of it had caved in. Ye Su stood silently inside. Just then, his analysis of the bug in the Saint Cloth came to an end.
He switched to the GM Class. Analysis complete.
The feedback he got was that an error had been made when the data for this piece of equipment was first entered. You couldn’t really call it a proper mistake—it was just a slipup in the shoddiest data entry, and no one had checked it.
That made Ye Su think of the new junior employee he’d never met. He couldn’t shake the feeling that this was his fault again. He must’ve entered the data wrong!
【Bug patch generated】
A tiny point of light appeared in Ye Su’s hand. Maybe it was only one ten-thousandth the size of the patch for humanoid monsters? It wasn’t even one percent the size of his fingernail.
Maybe the bug was so stupid that it didn’t need a patch at all—just a change to the data. Ye Su couldn’t help wondering: did bigger changes make bigger orbs of light? Like patches in a game: if the patch for changing a monster’s skills had been around 1 MB, was this one only a few KB?
Well, time to put those wild thoughts away. Ye Su took the Saint Cloth out of his backpack and pressed the point of light against it right in front of Kuxi.
In an instant, light flashed. This time the effect was visible, and Kuxi could see it too. It was as if the equipment had come back to life. The Saint Cloth’s surface began to shine again. Now that looked like a Saint Cloth!
【Kukulu’s Saint Cloth Lv. 40】
Rank: Rare
Durability: 180/200
HP: 50
MP: 100
Attack: 80
Spirit: 80
Defense: 100
【SKILL】: 【Clear Mind】 (Increases mental power by 30% for ten minutes. Cooldown: one hour.)
【Bug fixed. EXP gained: 10】
The moment he fixed it, Ye Su also understood how his GM Class gained experience. It looked like he had to fix bugs to earn EXP. Leveling up by killing monsters wasn’t going to work.
And now it even had a rank listed: Rare… So, according to game rules, that meant blue gear, right? Tch. Damn lucky bastard.
“There’s no need to destroy it. I’ve removed the curse and even blessed it. Take it home and put it on your father. His madness will disappear.” Ye Su handed Kuxi the Saint Cloth, now as good as new.
They wouldn’t understand what a bug was, so he’d explain it according to their worldview.
Kuxi took it, looking completely bewildered. Then her hands began to tremble, and tears welled in her eyes. She’d only wanted to destroy the cursed garment. She never imagined that this little brother would remove the curse—and bring her father’s mind back to him.
She was so moved she could’ve cried! Her eyes glistened, and her cheeks flushed red. Ye Su had already thought Kuxi was beautiful: around 160 centimeters tall, with short, chestnut-brown hair falling to her shoulders. To him, she was practically figure-worthy.
“I’m truly grateful to you, Lord Little Brother. I don’t know how I could ever repay you for this kindness. Maybe I could…”
What the hell was “Lord Little Brother”? Oh, right—he hadn’t told her his name. And was this where things were going…? Heh. His imagination was already running wild.
“Maybe I could make you lots of pretty girls’ clothes and help you discover a whole new side of yourself!”
Ye Su: “……”
Wait, boss, weren’t you supposed to change the disc by now? Looks like you put in the wrong one. This isn’t how the story’s supposed to go!
What happened to the “I’ll give myself to you” scene?
