Chapter 81.2 – Protagonist: New skill get.

Ziu’s gnome form was small and physically weak but his attitude was crazy domineering.

Du Ze was speechless and Xiu took out a chest full of toys from his interspatial storage ring.

“Let’s play!” Xiu was like a child who just got a birthday present and wanted to play with his little friend. “You’ll love this.”

Xiu was holding a leather saddle in his hands.

“…”

Du Ze started backing away. This wasn’t something he wanted to do.

Xiu: “We can’t? But I spent the whole night working on these machines and toys!”

… Moe Lord, please don’t use the gnome race’s forging skill for something like this.

Du Ze: “… No.”

“But you promised to make my wish come true today. The flaxen-haired gnome’s head drooped. He was like a very sad and disappointed kid. Anyone who saw him would want to pile up all of the treasure in the world at his feet to cheer him up. The crazed fanboy Du Ze was no exception.

“Okay, let’s play!” said Du Ze.

Xiu took the barbed whip in his hand. His amber eyes were bright with excitement at the thought of being able to play “ride the horsey” with Du Ze.

“Wait, what’s this?”

Xiu was tying the saddle to Du Ze with a a leather rope: “This is just for fun! Don’t worry, I won’t make it too tight and it won’t hurt.”

“But …” Du Ze started to protest but Xiu looked up him with those big, amber eyes and his words died in his throat.

Xiu got up behind Duze. He was was grinning widely in delight.

“Eek!”

Du Zi screamed like a little girl when Ziu activated the machine.

“This is fun!” Xiu loved it. He cracked his whip in the air and the sound of it made Du Ze wince.

“Xiu…” Do you have to be this excited? Well, the Moe Lord did grow up in an orphanage so there probably weren’t many mechanical toys there. This could be the very first time he had ever played with a machine like this.

“Faster horsey, faster!” Ziu cracked the whip again and yelled: “Wheee!”

Du Ze gave up and just enjoyed the ride. He was getting dizzy from the way the machine jolted him and Xiu’s wild cries in his ears but it wasn’t too bad. In fact, it was kind of fun.

“Let’s continue playing.”
