Chapter 6

“All gone... qaq”

Nestled within the soft pile of blankets, the little fluffy cub lowered his head in distress, gently touching his tiny belly before looking up again to search for his ‘All gone’.

Meanwhile, as the most powerful soldier king system in history, 001 silently faced its greatest crisis ever—the host’s food shortage.

001 had no food.

In fact, none of the soldier king systems had the ability to provide food for their hosts. After all, these systems were part of a soldier king training program. The candidates were supposed to acquire food through their own abilities, not rely on the system to supply it...

At this moment, the mighty main-god-level soldier king system 001 was overwhelmed with a crushing sense of failure. It helplessly said to the little cub before it: […I’m sorry, Yoyo, I can’t provide you with food.]

Outside the frame, in the live broadcast room, the diode viewers’ hearts were breaking; tears of cyan-blue began to flood 001’s subspace. Among the sea of these cyan tears, shards of fragile viewer spirits’ glass hearts even began drifting.

Not only were the glass heart fragments of the viewers drifting, but Makamaka, who had secretly followed the viewers into 001’s subspace, was wiping tears from his eyes—

Why had this damned production team forbidden the soldier king system from having an item exchange function?

The spirit-viewer audience was deeply heartbroken, and system 001 felt powerless and frustrated by its own response.

Here was a system with main-god-level power, yet it couldn’t even manage to provide food for its host...

Just as 001 sank into this despair, the little cub who had been quietly rubbing his belly stopped and looked up puzzled in the direction from which the system’s voice came.

“All gone?”

001 tried to perk up and replied, “...Yoyo, I’m here.”

The tiny cub hugged his teddy bear, his large cyan eyes gazing toward 001’s direction.

“So, All gone means no food for you either?”

System 001 hesitated: [Yes…] But it was a system—it didn’t need food.

The next moment, the little cub, still clutching his teddy bear, pouted sadly, “All gone is so pitiful too.”

Then after a brief pause, he tapped his small chest and looked seriously at the system. “Don’t be sad, All gone, Yoyo can keep you company!”

Saying this, the tiny cub wobbled to his feet, rubbed his belly again, and said, “All gone, see, when Yoyo rubs his tummy, it’s not hungry anymore!”

System 001 was stunned by the little one’s words and was about to say “there’s no way rubbing your belly makes you not hungry,” but the next second it saw the cub rubbing his eye and yawning.

“Gulu… All gone, Yoyo is sleepy.”

The three-head-tall cub said this as he struggled to drag the small blanket that had fallen onto the floor back onto the bed. But he was so tiny and the soft blanket was relatively large, so it took great effort from Su Yoyo to finally pull the blanket up.

By the time the blanket was spread over the little bed, the small Su Yoyo was already too sleepy to keep his eyes open. But even in his exhaustion, he still tried hard to open his eyes and find the system’s direction.

“All gone?”

System 001 looked at Su Yoyo curled up under the blanket with pity, its gentle voice becoming even softer: [Yoyo, I’m here.]

Hearing the system’s voice, the little one, half-hidden in the blanket, blinked and whispered, “All gone, when Yoyo wakes up, can he still see All gone?”

System 001 was momentarily stunned. It didn’t know what the tiny cub had been through to react like this. It could only respond in an even more earnest and solemn tone: [Yoyo, I will always stay with you.]

“Then… All gone and Yoyo have a promise, okay?”

[Yes, promise made.]

Apparently reassured by 001’s answer, the cub’s eyelids struggled for a while longer before finally giving in, closing his eyes completely and falling asleep.

System 001 watched the little one drift into a deep slumber—only half a standard universe hour had passed since Su Yoyo last woke up.

Though all species’ cubs tend to sleep a lot in their youth, Su Yoyo’s sleepiness was clearly abnormal.

System 001 had already guessed why Su Yoyo quickly fell asleep again—it was because in this space utterly devoid of food and other life forms, the only way for the sole living being, Su Yoyo, to maintain his vital signs was through sleep.

However...

This was merely a temporary measure akin to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Sustaining life through constant sleep would only drain the cub’s energy further.

When his energy was too low to sustain life, the only outcome left for the cub was death.

Just thinking about this made soldier king system 001 lose all composure.

Meanwhile, in the virtual live broadcast sphere of the main universe’s "Super Soldier King 2," 001’s subspace was already a sea of sorrowful wails—

“Waaaaahhh...!”

“My baby, my baby! Why is Yoyo so good?”

“My poor baby, wahhh, Mommy’s flowers are all for you!”

“Cosmic Cub Protection Association! Where are the people from the Cosmic Cub Protection Association? Someone is abusing the cub!”

The heartbroken diodes seemed to melt into water. If the show allowed food donations, no doubt frantic viewers would have already spent everything trying to help.

On-site, Makamaka, the host, who should have been calming and guiding the audience, also seemed soaked in tears.

Waaah! Why was the production team so cruel and heartless?

He wanted to send food to baby Yoyo too!

***

Su Xiaoyou had a very good, very sound sleep today. In his dreams, he saw the vast sea and sky, the same cyan color as his eyes.

These warm skies and oceans wrapped around him, cozy and gentle, so even his previously very hungry tummy was no longer hungry!

Page 3/3

If only All gone were here too, then All gone could be warm like him and wouldn’t be hungry either!

While Su Xiaoyou thought this, a ‘glug’ sounded in the warm cyan sea, and then he woke up.

The little cub on the bed blinked, then ‘whoosh!’ he sat up from under the blanket, his tiny hands nervously gripping the blanket edge. He looked carefully around and softly called out, “All gone?”

Since the cub fell asleep, system 001 had been repeatedly exploring this tiny sub-universe.

It quickly scanned every scene and object in this space—hoping to find any suitable food for Su Yoyo, so that when he woke, it could guide him to eat and fill his little belly.

But this space was truly strange. Not only was there no other life besides Su Yoyo, the entire dimensional plane was pitifully small, like a separately carved-out pocket dimension. The only creature inside was tiny Su Yoyo, and nothing else.

No water, no food, no items that looked necessary for a cub’s survival.

With system 001’s main-god-level power, scanning a space smaller than 1,000 square meters would normally take less than 0.1 microseconds, but 001 still spent a significant amount of time meticulously exploring the area.

Unfortunately, it found nothing.

This vast space seemed to serve only as a place to hold the cub.

But this space lacking water, food, or any other life forms—rather than being a ‘holding space’—felt more like a specialized ‘dimensional prison’ designed to isolate Su Yoyo.

System 001 didn’t understand what secret Su Yoyo carried that required such treatment...

Yet, as a professional system, 001 naturally did not reveal its doubts.

When the cub called to it from the bed, 001 gently replied once more, “I’m here.”

The cub instantly jumped up excitedly, scrambled off the bed using hands and feet, clutching his teddy bear, and said to system 001: “All gone! Yoyo is awake! Yoyo will take you to see Yoyo’s home!”

Before the system could answer, the tiny cub hugged his teddy bear and ran off.

Although system 001 had already scanned this less than 1,000-square-meter dimension multiple times while the cub slept, it would never refuse Yoyo’s enthusiastic invitation.

But before Su Yoyo could take a step out of the current space, all soldier king candidates from number 001 to 100 received a notification from the main system—

[All soldier king candidates fully locked. The first preliminary elimination round of the “Super Meta Soldier King Grand Melee” is about to begin—]

“Huh?”

The little cub looked around in confusion, not understanding where the voice in his mind came from.

But the prearranged program would not stop for Su Yoyo’s confusion.

[Countdown 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1, 0!]

[Dimensional space transfer initiated—]

[The “Super Meta Soldier King Grand Melee” elimination round officially begins!]
