Chapter 75: News Report, Young Hero
Chapter 75: News Report, Young Hero
It was evening, with the last rays of the setting sun.
Father Wang and Mother Wang sat at the dining table, enjoying a candlelit dinner.
They were feeding each other.
“With our son not around these past two days, dear wife, I feel like we’ve gone back to the time when we just got married.”
Father Wang picked up a bite of scrambled eggs with his chopsticks and fed it to Mother Wang’s mouth.
“Are you saying our son is unnecessary?”
Mother Wang ate the scrambled eggs and said with a laugh.
“Of course not.” Father Wang coughed.
“Hmm, so I’m the unnecessary one?” Mother Wang said. “Should I leave then?”
After saying that, Mother Wang picked up a piece of fried meat with her chopsticks and fed it to Father Wang’s mouth.
“No, no.” Father Wang said. “How could you be unnecessary, dear wife? I meant that our son is the fruit of our love.”
“Oh, I see. So our love has disappeared, right?” Mother Wang said.
“???” Father Wang.
“Coo coo coo…”
The Cooing Bird nearby probably couldn’t stand the two of them being lovey-dovey every day.
It had been two days already. Please spare it.
The Cooing Bird really wished that the Green Caterpillar and its little master would come back soon.
It flew to the side, turned on the television, and started watching leisurely.
It was evening, and the Cooing Bird loved watching the Soul Pet channel of Tianxin City.
Every day, it introduced interesting news about Soul Pets from various places.
“This morning, a student in our city was buying fruit at a fruit stall with his Explosive Fruit when it suddenly exploded. Fortunately, no one was injured. According to beast-raising experts, it was likely because the Explosive Fruit saw the fruit vendor cutting fruit with a knife, which caused it intense unease… leading to the explosion.”
“All students are urged to undergo Soul Pet enlightenment with the help of their teachers before training, to avoid such incidents.”
The Cooing Bird laughed heartily.
“Also in the afternoon, a small fire sparrow, upon seeing pigeon soup on a dining table, felt extremely uneasy and instinctively spat out flames, causing a small-scale fire. Fortunately, firefighters arrived in time…”
This time, the Cooing Bird didn’t laugh.
Because pigeons looked somewhat similar to it in size.
“Change the channel.”
Mother Wang sensed the Cooing Bird’s unease and quickly changed the channel. “Let’s watch something else.”
“Coo coo…”
The Cooing Bird grumbled a bit, feeling that Mother Wang was underestimating it. It wasn’t scared because of the news just now.
“This is Donghua War Zone News Channel One. We now interrupt with a special report.”
“It has been reported that a group of terrorists recently entered the territory of our Donghua War Zone and infiltrated the Xiyue Continent area.”
Hearing this.
Father Wang and Mother Wang were immediately drawn in.
“Eh, News Channel One, I remember it always talks about how prosperous our lives are, how people are happy in their work, and how everyone is happy and healthy… Even when they report news about terrorists, it’s always about other war zones, rarely about our own.”
“Why would there be such news today?” Father Wang was immediately intrigued.
It was rare for Donghua War Zone News Channel One to have such news.
Of course, the general public understood why.
“I’m listening.” Mother Wang said. “Xiyue Continent, isn’t that our area?”
The news continued.
“This group of terrorists hid in the Wild Soul Land of Xiyue Continent, intending to hunt high school seniors who were exploring the wilderness there. Their motives were vile and malicious!”
The handsome-looking host on TV read from a document in a clear, precise voice.
His tone was full of anger.
“Wild Soul Land?”
Father Wang and Mother Wang froze on the spot and immediately stood up. “I remember, didn’t Xiao Che go to explore the Wild Soul Land…”
The two of them panicked at once.
Then, the host continued:
“At the same time, they had sinister schemes, attempting to disrupt the order of the Wild Soul Land to cause massive damage to the cities near the Soul Land…”
“Fortunately, a young hero from our side, Wang Tianba, saw through the terrorists’ plots in the Soul Land and thwarted their evil conspiracy. He then cooperated with the strong experts from our Xiyue Army to capture and eliminate all these terrorists!”
“With vibrant clothes and an angry steed, commanding the world with ease, a strong youth makes a strong nation.”
“Though Wang Tianba is just a youth, he remained calm in the face of danger, using his wits to fight stronger foes. Even if a mountain collapsed before him, his expression wouldn’t change. At the critical moment, he disrupted the terrorists’ sinister schemes, protecting the safety of several cities.”
“He truly showcased the exceptional spirit of our Donghua men and boosted the prestige of our Donghua!”
“As a host, I too feel proud and honored that our Donghua War Zone could produce such a heroic youth…”
The host said with a smile.
There were a few illustrations next to him.
The illustrations were interesting—they showed a youth from the waist up, his back turned, facing numerous hidden enemies with cold arrows.
Because it was in the Soul Land, there were no actual photos.
It was a conceptual drawing.
After hearing the news.
Father Wang was astonished.
“Youth these days are really incredible.” Father Wang exclaimed. “He made it to the news? How can a kid be that impressive? If my son were that capable, I’d shoot straight up to the heavens. Even hell probably wouldn’t dare keep me.”
“If News Channel One reported it, it can’t be fake. Looking at this youth’s back, it does look a bit like our son.” Mother Wang said. “But since he’s a young hero, and Xiao Che was also in the exploration team, he should know about it, right?”
“Coo coo coo coo…”
The Cooing Bird also responded.
It saw in the picture that at the youth’s feet, there was a green blob.
Though it was pixelated, it looked somewhat familiar.
“Right, if News Channel One reported it… let’s check our Tianxin City news channels.”
Father Wang quickly switched a few channels and found that many news channels were interrupting with this story.
At this point, even ordinary folks could tell that this matter was absolutely true.
It was recognized and affirmed by the War Zone.
At that moment, Wang Che opened the door and walked in.
“Son, you’re finally back!”
Father Wang immediately went over, quite excited. “You sent us a message at noon saying you were coming back, so why did you only arrive in the afternoon?”
“On the way back, I spent some time playing with the Green Caterpillar in the forest near the Soul Pet Base.”
Wang Che said.
“Have you eaten?”
“Yes.”
“Come, come, look at this news. We just heard about it. Your mom and I were shocked.”
Father Wang pulled Wang Che over to watch the content on TV.
Wang Che glanced at it and thought, quite efficient.
He didn’t expect the news report to start today.
And it was Donghua War Zone News Channel One. That Li Yanming had some influence.
From another perspective, those Ghost Disciples were not simple, to make the Donghua War Zone take them so seriously.
“Son, do you know this Wang Tianba?” Mother Wang asked. “Is this young man really that impressive?”
“Of course.” Wang Che nodded. “That’s me.”
The two of them froze on the spot.
After a moment.
Father Wang clutched his stomach and laughed heartily:
“Son, stop joking. I know exactly what you’re capable of.”
Wang Che: “…”
Mother Wang also covered her mouth and laughed: “Son, don’t say such things randomly. We need to know our limits. We don’t go for that kind of boasting.”
Wang Che: “…”
“True Parents”
“Sii sii sii…” The Green Caterpillar watched the two of them laughing and thought it seemed quite fun.
Plus, laughter seemed contagious. It also narrowed its eyes and laughed at Wang Che…
Wang Che gave the Green Caterpillar a light knuckle tap on its head:
“What are you laughing at?”
Green Caterpillar: “o(╥﹏╥)o”
“Son, tell us the truth.” Father Wang said.
“Hmm…” Wang Che pondered. “Wang Tianba really isn’t me. That person, whether in looks or strength, far surpasses me. I’ve seen him. He radiates an extraordinary aura. At a glance, you could tell he was no ordinary person.”
“Though also a youth, his posture and presence made him seem like a once-in-a-generation genius, one in ten thousand. He shone with immense glory, capable of inspiring those around him…”
Hearing this.
Father Wang and Mother Wang immediately stopped laughing and looked solemn.
The Green Caterpillar beside them, however, looked at Wang Che strangely.
It could only understand some of the conversation between Wang Che and Li Yanming earlier.
It didn’t know the specifics.
But it felt that its Soul Pact Master… was probably talking about himself now?
