A Filthy Rich Hamster in the Apocalypse

Editor: meowmiao

After Nie Xiao calmly accepted the scrutiny from the fathers-in-law, tonight’s “Little Hamster Truth Symposium” officially kicked off.

“One person and three animals” gathered together, sitting around a coffee table on the carpet. Neither MoYan nor AnYi changed back to their human appearances. While maintaining their own animal form, they coaxed Xiao WuYi to change back to being a small hamster, causing Nie Xiao, who was sandwiched between the three furry beasts, to look out of place.

Nie Xiao: “…” This is definitely exclusion.

Fortunately, Nie Xiao’s talent for language was amazing. He could hear every ‘chichi’ of the little hamster. As for what AnYi and MoYan were trying to convey, Nie Xiao simply chose to ignore it. It was really out of the question to have the little hamster as a translator.

In short, tonight’s fathers and son-in-law refused to communicate directly with each other.

The little hamster didn’t notice the undercurrents surging in between as he adorably stood in the middle of the coffee table and started his speech. He narrated the true story without concealing anything, and in consideration of AnYi and MoYan’s presence, he also specifically started from the very beginning.

Looking at the two uncles in animal form, the little hamster said thoughtfully, “Uncle, Auntie, in fact, most of what I’ve said during the day was true, only that at the beginning, I’d taken Saath directly into my little storage instead of bringing him to other planets.”

AnYi nodded his dove head. “We thought it was like this, just continue with what happened after the final explosion. Did it affect your space? Also, have you got Saath’s data?”

“Yes, the data is indeed with me! Uncle, you’re so amazing, you guessed it right!” The little hamster was stunned by AnYi’s inference and couldn’t help but admiringly lean over to rub against the snow-white dove’s feathers.

Nie Xiao coughed, and not to be outdone, he said, “Actually, I also guessed it was the case.”

The little hamster immediately turned his head, hugged Nie Xiao’s finger, and rubbed. He was without any favoritism, rather his eyes were full of admiration and respect. “Un un, Daddy is also very awesome!”

MoYan & AnYi: “….”

Enough of you guys!!!

As they were in front of the elders, the little hamster stopped before going too far. He immediately got back to business and continued to lovingly ‘chichi’ as he narrated. “All of you know that everything in my little storage can be controlled by me. However, Saath also knew about it even before Daddy and I showed up.”

While recalling, the little hamster inevitably continued with a somewhat complicated expression, “Since Saath knew that it was my space, he must’ve known that there’s only a dead-end left for him no matter what he did. So, he began plotting in his mind, wanting to maximize the profits of his own death. He is really very smart.”

Nie Xiao couldn’t help but clench his fists. At that time, they were indeed deceived by the madness and degeneracy Saath had displayed, and they relaxed their vigilance for a while. Thinking about it now, he might’ve shown that on purpose. Nie Xiao couldn’t help pursing his lips and saying, “We really underestimated his insanity, his courage to commit suicide, and his extremely clever mind.”

“Un!” The little hamster seriously nodded his head, and continued to solemnly ‘chichi’. “Saath had planned everything thoroughly. He knew how huge the energy was in that ability core. He knew the most about it, and he must have guessed that I wouldn’t be able to control the shockwaves of energy immediately. However, for the sake of insurance, he tricked us into relaxing our vigilance through pretense before suddenly detonating, catching us by surprise, so even if he had committed suicide, he’d also injured us.

“Facts have proved that his plan was indeed very successful. Unprepared, Daddy and I had no time to deal with it. At that moment, that enormous energy suddenly burst forth from his body. Although I can control everything in the space, I also indeed can’t immediately dissolve a part of the energy’s shockwave. I almost couldn’t maintain the light sphere that was confining him. In a moment of desperation, I had to send Daddy out of the space first.”

Nie Xiao became nervous after hearing this. He worriedly gazed at the little dumpling in front of him and asked anxiously, “What happened after that, were you harmed? The moment I left, I seemed to have heard the sound of an explosion.”

AnYi and MoYan’s hearts rose as they stared worriedly at the little dumpling in front of them. If that shockwave of energy really did exceed the limits the space could withstand, it would probably do a lot of damage to their child’s body.

The little hamster somewhat couldn’t bear these kinds of gazes. He couldn’t help but lift his small paws and rub his healthy little cheeks while appeasing the others with a few words. “It’s okay, don’t worry! Look, Baby’s two little storages still haven’t been blown off! Good as ever, soft and flexible~”

Nie Xiao & MoYan & AnYi: “…”

Could it be that half of your face has to be blown up for it to count as something wrong? Why did it have to be so horrible!?

Nie Xiao couldn’t hold back his hand and checked directly. He stretched out two fingers and rubbed both cheeks of the little hamster… En, hand indeed feels quite good.

The little hamster was taken aback when his face was rubbed.

Yingchi, he wouldn’t have said it was soft if he knew!

The corners of AnYi and MoYan’s eyes twitched as they watched. They tried their best to endure so they wouldn’t explode. How lovey-dovey, the two were truly open people.

The little hamster felt that a mishap would really happen if the other rubbed it further, so he quickly protected his soft little cheeks and rushed under AnYi’s wings to snuggle and cool his temper. Nie Xiao suddenly awoke from his “sniffing hamster” state, raised his eyes only to meet the unkind eyes of the white dove and the big tiger, and immediately sat upright and still.

In any case, they didn’t trigger a war so the little hamster breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ‘chichi’. “Later on, I indeed couldn’t control the energy bursting from Saath’s body. The second after Daddy went out, it really exploded. The explosion’s energy shockwave hit the entire space and I almost died, but at the last moment, this tremendous energy actually began to merge with my space.”

Nie Xiao was shocked. “How could that be?”

The little hamster shook his head and replied, “I don’t know about the specific reason. I reckon Saath himself didn’t expect such a thing to happen. As he exploded and died, my space began to frantically absorb the energy from his detonation. Earth-shaking changes took place in the environment until finally, a small universe actually formed, and I completely recovered from my near-death state.”

Nie Xiao, AnYi, and MoYan were gobsmacked by the amount of information. But before they could come back to their senses, they were taken directly into the space by the little hamster to witness the miraculous change with their own eyes.

AnYi hadn’t been to this space yet, but Nie Xiao and MoYan had both been fortunate enough to have entered, and they knew exactly what it was originally like.

But now, it has completely changed.

The three of them were taken to a natural planet full of greenery and vitality. As they trod on the fertile grass beneath their feet, a vast resplendent starry sky could be seen when lifting their heads, shocking them into a trance.

The little hamster deliberately brought everyone to this planet during nighttime so that everyone could see the stars in the sky clearly and thus understand that this was a genuine small universe. It was already no longer just the small space with beautiful mountains and limpid waters, blue sky, and white clouds of the past.

“I knew you’d be given a scare hehe!” The little hamster on Nie Xiao’s shoulder giggled in ‘chichi’. His soft and gleeful voice appeared deathly adorable.

AnYi recovered from his reverie, raised his wings, and stroked his trembling little heart. He couldn’t help taking a deep breath and saying, “It’s simply too incredible!” In the records of the royal families of the past dynasties, there has never been such a large-scale space—no, it should be called a small universe now.

Nie Xiao and MoYan couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. Looking down at a certain soft and cute little hamster, they only felt that there were strands of “foolish hamster that has foolish fortune” and “filthy rich” glittering in gold floating around its body.

Saath’s plan to create a world should’ve been very successful, but what he didn’t expect was that he would be ultimately making a wedding dress for the little hamsterI’ve read about this somewhere, in ancient times (or maybe in some novel), women from the rural areas would make wedding dresses for the rich, maybe they’re commissioned or it’s just tradition. They would spend all their time and effort on it, but it was destined to never become their own.. Although the ability core detonated, it was probably because the place at the time was the space inside Xiao WuYi himself that it resulted in the energy inside the ability core successfully integrating with Xiao WuYi’s time-space and vitality power, making the original small space directly evolve into a new time-space universe.

Excluding his evil deeds, Saath was indeed a successful scientist who had neither predecessors nor successors and with unimaginable extraordinary wisdom.

Nie Xiao worked hard to digest this astounding information, and then took the cute little hamster from his shoulder into the palm of his hand. He looked down at it and asked, “Then Baby, you mentioned earlier that you got a hold of his research data, how did that happen? Where did you find it?”

When asked this, the little hamster happily chi-ed at once. Lying in the palm of Nie Xiao’s hand, he joyfully twisted his little butt and tail before answering, “It all came effortlessly! I will take you to see it now!”

With that, Nie Xiao and the others were taken by the little hamster to shift to another place. The sudden daylight almost made them unable to open their eyes. They adjusted to the light a little bit and found that there were many things piled up on the open space in front of them.

They heard the little hamster ‘chichi’ beside their ears to explain, “When Saath detonated that ability core, the ability cores of other attributes in his body also disintegrated from the impact, including the spatial ability core where he used to store his things. Along with the disintegration of the spatial ability core, all the things stored in it fell out, which I obtained afterwards; his research materials included. Because the energy of the explosion happened to be madly absorbed and fused by my space, these things were narrowly spared.”

Listening to this played-down story, Nie Xiao, MoYan, AnYi were stunned into a daze.

Cub ah! Are you perhaps the chosen oneOr the favored son of heaven, those with really good luck!!!

Even if they had seen the big wind, waves, and the big world, the Nie Xiao trio at this time had to bow their heads to the little hamster. The language of poverty could no longer describe the admiration and conviction in their hearts.

AnYi flapped his wings and flew over. He roughly glanced at the huge pile of materials. “Saath must’ve carried all his belongings with him, so all his research materials should be here as well. Taking these things out would be of great help to the study of the zombie virus outside.”

However, the little hamster fiercely chi-ed when he heard this, directly rejecting AnYi’s idea of bringing out all the materials, which drew Nie Xiao and MoYan’s sidelong glances.

Nie Xiao looked down at the little hamster that reacted fiercely, and related it to the various events during the daytime “Conning Conference”. He couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Baby, you reminded us during the day to look for Saath’s research base. If it weren’t for me and AnYi seeing the clues at that time, we would’ve been really fooled by you. You clearly have the data with you, why did you hide it? This should be very helpful to Dr. Wei and the other researchers in their study on zombie viruses. Don’t you also want Bai Mei to recover quickly?”

MoYan recalled the situation during the day where he was ready to turn the Interstellar Alliance upside down. If it wasn’t for AnYi uncovering the secrets for him at night, he wouldn’t have realized that it was just his family’s Little Highness playing dumb.

The little hamster watched by Nie Xiao and the others lowered his eyes and explained, “I didn’t mean to hide it, it’s just that the information can’t be taken out entirely, we have to filter it first. There’s dangerous content in it. Moreover, there were two kinds of viruses that caused the apocalypse, not just the zombie virus!!!!”

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiao and the others were all startled. “There are actually two kinds!?”

AnYi took the lead in calming down. He then remembered the previous speculations at the Alliance meeting and had a flash of realization, saying, “It turns out that this was really the case. When discussing the virus at the Alliance meeting, His Majesty Seidon said that the virus that caused everyone to change may not necessarily be broadly called the ‘zombie virus,’ but we didn’t immediately think that there would be two viruses. Your Highness, did you read the data in advance?”

“Un, I’ve read a bit!” The little hamster nodded truthfully. After the explosion, he stayed in the space for over two days before going out. It was actually to figure out the general content of the data. “The virus the zombies outside were carrying is indeed called a zombie virus, but it’s just a derivative virus of the ‘γ evolution virus’! The real cause of the apocalyptic mutations on the planets and the four different states of zombie kings, zombies, ability users, and ordinary people who maintained their original appearance, was the γ evolution virus…”

After listening to the little hamster’s explanation and linking it with the currently existing information they have, Nie Xiao quickly understood what the ‘γ evolution virus’ was, and the relationship between it and the zombie virus.

“But are these two viruses directly related to you hiding the truth from everyone?” MoYan asked puzzledly.

“Uncle, listen to me first!!” The little hamster chichi-ed with bulging cheeks, and then continued to enlighten them. “The reason why I had to hide it from everyone is because of this point in the data—the ‘γ evolution virus’ needs to rely on an animal host to perform its function. If no animal host is found for more than 20 minutes, it will automatically disintegrate in the air. On the other hand, after the γ virus induces the host to mutate and differentiate, it will also voluntarily decompose inside the host. Only in the bodies of zombies and the zombie kings will it derive into a zombie virus.”

With this reasoning, Nie Xiao now understood what the little guy wanted to convey. “So, Baby doesn’t want to circulate this part of the data about the γ virus, is that right?”

“Un!” The little hamster nodded heavily. He was obviously a cute little dumpling, but his expression was that of rare seriousness. “According to the description in the data, the planets that are now encountering an apocalypse have all experienced an γ virus meteor shower at the beginning, then everyone went through high fevers, low fevers, and such mutations. So after everyone has undergone different mutations, the γ virus would’ve decomposed in their body already, while the virus that didn’t find a living host would’ve been completely dead in the air after twenty minutes. In this case, we shouldn’t take the risk and spread the information about the γ virus. What we need to solve right now is only the zombie virus derived from it.

“I didn’t tell everyone directly that the data is with me because I want to filter it before taking it out. The γ evolution virus, Saath’s world creation… and the other dangerous data, we have to take them out separately.”

AnYi and MoYan also understood at this time. Thinking about it carefully, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary, this dangerous content could indeed be eliminated. Although Dr. Wei, Bai Yue, and the others were worthy of trust, there would definitely be traces left after the information was taken out. No one could guarantee whether or not someone would get a hold of this data in the future and make the γ evolution virus again.

There was no impermeable wall in the worldNo secret untold, and only profit dictatesPeople will anything if it will benefit them. If people knew that the ability core and the crystal nucleus could really possibly create a new world, then the apocalypse would only repeat itself over and over again on another “Earth”, and a crazy “Saath” would continue to emerge. Furthermore, it would also be a huge threat to the Nemo Royal Family who possessed the power of vitality and space-time.

“Baby is doing the right thing.” Nie Xiao gazed at the little hamster and praised him from the bottom of his heart. He raised his hand to stroke its little head, and said, “This part containing extremely dangerous research data will be terminated by us. It’s safest not to pass it out.”

AnYi looked at the little hamster with an expression of gratification, and said, feeling touched, “His Little Highness has really grown up, and has considered the problem very well. In the future, your Uncle and I can rest assured to let you wield authority.”

MoYan nodded happily. “En, we can indeed take a vacation.”

Upon hearing this, the little hamster immediately cried out in horror.

Chi! What does this have to do with me governing! No, Baby refuses, Baby just wants to be a carefree, idle little prince!!!

Nie Xiao saw the little hamster’s cute horrified-face-palming expression and suddenly laughed out loud. “Baby, Daddy and your uncles all know that you are very smart. You will surely become a qualified and excellent king in the future.”
