Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

Vishdale, who had been sitting above Chen Ran's head, naturally knew what Chen Ran was tinkering with.

But precisely because he knew this, Vishdale started right away: "A little girl I just abducted is already thinking about making new clothes for someone else to please them? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, our scumbag Chen really is so promiscuous, falling in love with everyone he meets, huh?"

The weird energy of Vishdale was more powerful than ever before.

There was no way around it. Chen Ran had once given her an evening dress, but it was torn into rags in the decisive battle with the primordial source stone.

Even so, Vishdale couldn't bear to throw it away and hid it like a treasure.

The results of it?

This dog...

"rest assured."

Chen Ran was delighted after hearing this: "Xiao Wei, your clothes are also being made. Do you understand that slow work makes fine work? If you're in a hurry, I'll bring it to you right now."

"Oh, who cares?"

Although Vishdale said this, the devil's tail behind her was wagging quite happily.

"Oh, since you said so, Xiao Wei,"

Chen Ran spoke again: "Then I'd better ask someone else to throw it in the trash can. Xiao Wei, you don't care anyway."

"you dare!"

Vishdale was immediately anxious: "If you dare to throw it away, you little bastard, I'll pull out all your hair!"

Although Chen Ran and Vishdale bickered with each other daily, there was actually a simpler way than ordering something custom-made.

Every time Chen Ran fished people out of the planet model, he also took their clothes out with them.

So based on this feature, you can directly purchase those planet models, and even save the trouble of custom-made ones.

But just when Chen Ran was thinking about whether to let them go to a certain world line and do some free shopping—

With a clang.

This sound, which sounded like someone slamming a door, naturally caught Chen Ran's attention.

He turned his head and looked towards the 'street' on the table.

As a result, Zofia was seen walking out of Sintrea's house with red cheeks.

"Hmm? Auntie, why did you come out so soon? Did you finish catching up with that little platinum?"

Seeing this, Chen Ran naturally walked over, stretched out his hand to grab Sofia, and asked this question.

As a result, this time, before Chen Ran caught her, he saw Sofia subconsciously dodge backwards.

"What's going on?"

Chen Ran immediately became interested and said with a smile: "Aunt, if I accidentally catch you like this, will you react by doing something weird?"

"..., please, please don't use such misleading words, okay?"

Sofia seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit excessive, so she coughed lightly a few times.

When Chen Ran reached out to grab her for the second time, Sofia did not move this time and let Chen Ran hold her in his hands.

"Forget it. Although I am also quite curious, what on earth did you talk about with that little platinum, that led to such a conversation——"

Chen Ran looked at the palm of his hand, his eyes obviously evasive. Sophia even reacted strongly to the small movements of Chen Ran's thumb and little finger when he grabbed her, such as accidentally pressing, scraping, and kneading.

Chen Ran had almost guessed something, so he said, "But since you're here, Aunt, why don't you stay here?"

"No, no, no, no..."

Zofia swallowed and shook her head quickly: "I can't pay the rent yet, so... cough."

"Rent? Oh, that's a shame."

Chen Ran was puzzled when he heard this, but soon understood:

No need to go to work? All you have to do every day is eat, sleep, and play with your phone?

What is the price?

It’s Sese!

Okay, now that we’ve talked about the benefits, what about the cost?

Although Chen Ran didn't know how Xiao Baijin came up with this so-called rent theory.

But it is quite consistent with the character of that little platinum.

It was obvious that Zofia truly believed this, which was why she said, "I just came here to see if Xinteleya was... doing well. After I'm done, I'm going back."

Chen Ran had no intention of explaining anything about this.

After all, what Xinteleya said was actually correct.

And if Chen Ran really explained, Vishdel, who was sitting above him, would probably become sarcastic again.

But even so, Chen Ran still said, "Don't worry. It's not like I won't let you go, aunt. But since you've finally come here, why not spend a few days enjoying yourself? Anyway, I think Casimir is on the right track. The Linguang family also has Margaret and Uncle in charge, so there's nothing to worry about."

Chen Ran talked a lot, but he never mentioned things like "Call your older niece and younger niece over to play for a few days."

Because Zofia is conservative and innocent, it is relatively easy to increase her favorability or conquer her.

But if you add the sisters Margaret and Maria, it's a completely different story.

It’s not that it’s impossible to conquer it, but the difficulty will definitely increase significantly to the highest level in an instant.

Not to mention the aunt-niece play, if you say you want to capture her niece, Zofia will definitely get angry——

Unless you have conquered Zofia to the point of "Oh, oh, oh, oh."

"Just save your rent for the next few days, auntie."

Chen Ran said, "Or if you really don't want to go, and you say 'how can I get it for free?', then let Little Platinum pay for it."

"Well, that's not the case..."

Sofia waved her hands quickly.

But in the end, Sofia decided to stay here for a few days.

Maybe he was worried that if he was really satisfied with Xinteleya... uh, he would be tired?

But anyway-

What Sofia worried about did not happen.

Because Chen Ran was busy buying a big table and then buying a bunch of toy houses.

The miniature model landscape, which was originally just "a street", has gradually been enriched to the scale of a small town.

Then move the fish tank and place it next to the table.

When the two are combined, this miniature model landscape, in Chen Ran's hands, becomes like a seaside resort town.

It's a pity that the town is so empty even though the landscape has been built.

There are no goods in the stores, no employees in the supermarkets, and no pedestrians on the streets. It seems too deserted.

But there's nothing we can do. The merchandise is easy to get, but the employees and pedestrians...

Take it slow. As Chen Ran arrests more people, more and more people will stay in this seaside resort town, and it will definitely become more lively. If they are interested, they can just play role-playing games by themselves.

For example, Xinteleya went to be a receptionist or something.

After all, it's impossible for Chen Ran to just create a few NPCs like playing a game, right?

Chapter 234 What does it mean that Xiao Xigua was eaten as a biscuit?

The scale of the tabletop miniature model scenery has expanded from "a street" to a "seaside resort town", and these little people have moved to a new home.

So, except for Wishdale, who didn't have much need for a place to live, the other little people were busy adding bricks and tiles to their new home.

Chen Ran was quite amused at first, as it was similar to the fun he had watching NPCs going to and from get off work and then getting stuck in traffic when playing Skylines or The Sims.

But there were too few people, and after looking around, I got tired after a while.

Although there is a little game where you poke Vishdel with your fingertips and Vishdel will shout "your mother", it becomes really monotonous after playing it for a long time.

It's not dark yet, and the mini-game 'If you're thirsty and don't drink water, spread Miu Miu's legs' hasn't been unlocked yet.

So after much thought, Chen Ran decided to go back to his old ways:

Sitting at the table, he began to rub the planet model with his hands.

I don't know if it's because Muirseth was busy moving her people, so the buff of 'As long as you draw gold, Miu Miu will be beaten once' is gone.

Chen Ran rubbed several planet models with his hands, but all of them showed blue sky and white clouds.

But Chen Ran was not annoyed, because just the act of rubbing the planet with his hands had stunned his aunt Sophia.

So Chen Ran got naughty. He deliberately held up a planet model, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Wow? The natives of this planet are quite bold. They actually dared to wish me something like 'world peace'? Fine, I'll grant you that."

Having said that, Chen Ran threw the planet model into the trash can.

Then he added: "If all people die, the world will naturally be peaceful. How simple is that."

Sofia's face turned pale with fright.

Seeing her hurriedly running back to the 'seaside holiday cottage' on the table, rushing into Xinteleya's house, and then immediately began to persuade Xinteleya to be pragmatic and not think about taking shortcuts.

Chen Ran then smiled, picked up the planet model from the trash can, and put it into the candy jar.

However, no matter how unlucky you are, there will always be a bottom line mechanism.

After Chen Ran had drawn countless shots, he placed a newly-made planet model on the floor, turned his head, and then turned back.

Looking at the planet model that was floating in the air and began to rotate, the translucent pop-up box flashed the word "Terra".

Chen Ran knew that he had finally made money again.

It's just a pity that Muirseth is not here, otherwise she would owe herself another water clone.

"Oh...then Miu Miu hasn't come back for so long, could it be that she's just trying to avoid me?"

"After all, Miu Miu is a hero in saving her people. Her name will be prominently mentioned in the history books of the elves in the future."

"So if her people knew the truth, then the page introducing Muirseth in the elven history books would change from describing him as 'great, heroic, and fearless' to 'Muirseth's famous skill: his infuriating battle cry'?"

Chen Ran was talking to himself, but in fact he was also waiting for the CD that would pop up in the translucent window.

After he finished mumbling, the text in the translucent pop-up box began to change:

[Planet native detected: Xi...]

Chen Ran: "Oh my? Is this a real withdrawal? Or is it Xiao Xigua?"

[Planet natives detected: Little Xigua was eaten as a cookie]

Chen Ran: “?”

What the hell?

This was the first time Chen Ran had seen such a description.

"I just don't know if 'eaten' is an adjective or a verb."

"Adjective... I can't imagine what kind of world line this is."

"What about the verb?"

"The verbs are even stranger."

"Last time, in that Little Platinum world line, I was wondering if Little Platinum was used as a spiritual totem after his death."

"How come this little Xigua is really gone this time?"

Chen Ran still doesn't know what happened in this world line.

So he had no choice but to walk in first, enlarge and shrink the model of the planet, and intend to observe it first.

But it's weird.

No matter how Chen Ran zoomed in or out, or how he viewed it, this world line was extremely peaceful.

The land is flat, the houses are neat, the voices of people are bustling, the smoke from cooking curls up, and the days are peaceful.

For a moment, Chen Ran really thought that nothing happened in this world line, and that "little Xigua was eaten as a biscuit" was just an adjective.
