Samsara Online Chapter 22
Advertisement
After preparing the meal between the two, Xie Feng and Xie Yao enjoyed dinner in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Afterwards, they both washed the silverware and tidied up.
Although the Golden Emperor Villa Complex has a list of varieties of maids to be chosen by buyers of a property, Xie Feng and Xie Yao did not bother with anything like this.
Xie Feng lived until he was 12 years old in an orphanage, he knows what it is like to be hungry and cold. Therefore, although the last eight years of his life were full of luxury and comfort, he does not forget where he came from.
While Xie Yao was not only educated to be a noble lady, she also does not get carried away with money or material things.
Thus, household chores are mainly done by Xie Yao, with occasional help from Xie Feng: as long as Xie Yao allows it.
After showering, Xie Feng went to bed. By then it was almost 11 pm.
***
At 6 a.m. Xie Feng's biological clock woke him up.
Today is January 26, so the weather in Shanghai is one of the coldest in China: with temperatures around 2 ºC.
Xie Feng sat in a meditative position at the edge of the bed and closed his eyes, apparently meditating. An hour later, Xie Feng slowly opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly and frustration.
Without saying anything, he stood up and opened the wardrobe. From inside, he pulled out a normal white shirt, dark colored jeans and underwear.
Finishing this, Xie Feng went to the bathroom and began to shower.
Villa number 9 where Xie Feng and Xie Yao live has 5 rooms. Two of these rooms are used by Xie Feng and Xie Yao respectively, while the other 3 remain free.
While Xie Feng was taking a shower, his mobile phone started ringing.
1, 2 and 3 times.
Before the call was cut off, Xie Yao entered the room dressed in light-colored jeans and a pink coat, quickly answering Xie Feng's cell phone.
"Hello?"
A powerful laugh came from the other side of the phone:
"Haha girl, you have a voice as beautiful as ever."
Xie Yao was slightly surprised, but she soon recognized the other person's voice and smiled:
"I'm sorry uncle Gu, I didn't know it was you since I didn't see the caller ID."

"Don't worry, girl. Tell me something, what is that brat Xie Feng doing not to answer his phone?"
Xie Yao looked into the bathroom and when she heard the shower water falling, she responded quickly:
"The big brother Xie Feng is taking a shower right now. Uncle Gu, do you need me to leave a message for him?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent. After several seconds he answered:
"Don't bother little Yao, just tell that guy to call me when he's done showering."
"It's okay, don't worry Uncle Gu."
"Well, I will stop taking your time. Take care girl, if something bad happens to you that brat will get out of control haha."
Xie Yao shook her head and cut the call.
One minute later, Xie Feng, properly dressed and with his hair slightly wet, came out of the bathroom and smiled:
"Good morning, Yao'er."
Xie Yao smiled back and as she shook his cell phone she said:
"Good morning, big brother Xie Feng. By the way, Uncle Gu just called a moment ago."
Xie Feng was slightly surprised and took the cell phone. He went to the contacts and looked up the name of a person:
Gu Pojun.
He then pressed the call button, put the phone on speakerphone and left it on the bed while he went to the wardrobe to get an extra coat.
Just one beep later, the call was answered:
"You sure got guts, huh kid? Probably only you dare to leave the NSA director on the phone."
Xie Feng put on his coat and buttoned it, as he answered casually:
"A busy person like you wouldn't call me for anything, a mission?"
The person on the other end of the phone, Gu Pojun, sighed in exasperation and answered:
"You sure are direct, huh? Forget it. I am not calling you for anything like that, it was to inform you that my daughter is going to Shanghai University to register today."
Xie Feng took the phone and put it back in private. He frowned and answered confusedly:
"What does your daughter have to do with me? Why are you calling me to tell me something like this?"
At Xie Feng's comment, Gu Pojun responded:
"Thanks to my daughter, you will have that information you asked for, sooner than expected. She is carrying some documents, however I am still investigating so just be patient."

Xie Feng's face became serious and he quickly said:
"Is this true?"
In return, Gu Pojun responded:
"Do you think I have time for jokes?"
Xie Feng took a breath and calmed down again, then continued:
"Thank you very much."
"Don't worry, I'm not doing it for free anyway. This could be considered an exchange between you and me. Win-win, that's all."
Xie Feng nods: "You're right, that's why I decided to accept 3 missions from the NSA."
Suddenly, Xie Feng could hear Gu Pojun applauding on the other end of the phone and he soon heard:
"That's it! Now I am going to use one of those missions."
"Didn't you say you didn't call about any of that?"
"*Cough*...well, you just listen. My daughter, Gu Qianxue was always very overprotected by my wife and me. It turns out that this year Qianxue must enter university, yet that girl decided to study in Shanghai instead of Beijing. This is where you come in."
Xie Feng frowned and responded with confusion:
"So? what do you want? Do you want me to be her bodyguard?"
Gu Pojun quickly responded:
"No! Listen to me, you brat! I told Qianxue that you are a distant cousin of her and you happen to be studying at Shanghai University. Therefore, she is going to stay at your house."
Xie Feng almost cursed aloud, but before he could say anything Gu Pojun continued:
"Also let me tell you, my daughter does not know how cruel people can be, but you do. So make sure you protect her well, Xie Feng."
After those words Gu Pojun ended the call while Xie Feng was dazed.
A few seconds later, Xie Feng smiled bitterly and looked at Xie Yao. Seeing that she looked at him in confusion, he said with a bitter smile:
"It seems that we will have a visitor today...you could say that I will become a nanny."
Xie Yao was stunned, after a moment she answered confused: "Nanny? big brother Xie Feng, what do you mean?"
Xie Feng patted her on the head and said: "let's go to the university. I'll tell you on the way."
Xie Yao accepted the pats with a smile and nodded.
Shanghai University is just minutes away from the Golden Emperor Villa Complex: so Xie Feng and Xie Yao didn't touch any of the luxury cars in the garage and walked away.
From the point of view of both, there is no need to show off. Nor is it necessary to drive for a few minutes. Plus, that way Xie Feng and Xie Yao can buy something on the way for breakfast while they chat with each other.
Xie Feng and Xie Yao walked slowly while eating their breakfast, Xie Feng also told her some things and left out others.
__________
The main power of China is divided into 5 great families: Gu, Yao, Nangong, Yang and Mu.
The Gu family is the strongest family in China today because the current head of the family is also the director of the National Security Agency, also known as NSA.
The NSA is a special organization formed by the Chinese government to protect the country from foreign invasions; from physical to cybernetic.
All agents who are members of NSA are special in their own right, each of them has a common characteristic:
They are different from the rest.
The myths or legends about Espers are not as false as they may seem, from terrifying learning to skills such as pyrokinesis or telekinesis. The National Security Agency has few members, but they are all Espers trained and encouraged by the Chinese government.
For personal reasons, Xie Feng made a deal in the past with Gu Pojun, the current leader of the Gu family and director of the NSA; in exchange for information, Xie Feng would fulfill 3 requests from Gu Pojun for the NSA.
Gu Pojun tried to recruit him several times, but Xie Feng always politely but firmly refused. Although Xie Feng is Chinese, this does not mean that he would work stupidly for the government just because.
To this day, Gu Pojun has not used any of these three tasks. What Xie Feng did not expect was that his first mission would actually be to care for an 18-year-old girl.

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)
