Chapter 126 -126 Grandfather, Sun Tzu, Dig! [Fifth Update]
Yi Zheng chuckled, “It wasn’t easy becoming a BOSS, and now I’ve inexplicably gained a grandfather. How can I put up with this?”
The Ghost Rabbit grinned and said, “What else can you do? I am a ghost, and you can’t hit me… As for digging graves, with such a vast forest, what can you possibly do to me?”
Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the old ghost, “You’re still too young.”
The old ghost, puzzled, asked, “What do you mean?”
The next moment, Yi Zheng shouted, “My minions, assemble!”
Boom, boom, boom…
...
The earth trembled as rolling waves of white surged forward. At that moment, it was the Ghost Rabbit’s turn to be shocked, “Holy crap, so many rabbits?! Wait, are those rabbits? They sort of look like… Hey, Sun Tzu, is it trendy now to have inter-species children? What the heck is your wife, anyway? I should have a chat with your ancestors. But calling those things over is useless; they can’t hit me either.”
Yi Zheng was so angered by the old guy’s words that he almost spat blood and said coldly, “You know nothing about power!”
Once the rabbit horde arrived, he grimly commanded the rabbits, “My minions, flip this forest upside down, dig three feet into the ground, and dig up this old guy’s bones!”
“Roar!”
The crowd of rabbits roared. They didn’t care what Yi Zheng was up to; if the boss said to dig, then they’d dig.
So, three hundred thousand rabbits started digging furiously, asses in the air.
Rabbits are naturally good at digging, but as they had previously served as the main combat force, this innate skill hadn’t been put to much use. Now, resuming their old jobs, they burrowed at speeds akin to rabbit-shaped excavators; the ground sank visibly evenly…
“Too slow, too slow! Groundhogs!” Yi Zheng bellowed, and the next instant, three hundred thousand groundhogs rushed over and joined the big dig.
At this point, the Ghost Rabbit finally became anxious. He came up to Yi Zheng with a smile, “My… My King, can we, uh, talk this over? I’ve been dead for so many years…”
Yi Zheng sat on the side, legs crossed, munching on a carrot, “Now you want to talk? Now you’re calling me King instead of pretending to be my grandfather?”
“I really am your grandfather,” the Ghost Rabbit said.
Yi Zheng raised an eyebrow: “Hey, are you the type who won’t shed tears until you see the ashes of your crushed bones? Still trying to argue with me?”
Yi Zheng knew his origins very well. His grandfather was an Earthling, not a rabbit.
“I’m not arguing. This is the identity the system gave me. Although I don’t know if you’re my offspring, as far as this prairie is concerned, considering my combat power back in the day, I dare say eighty percent are my offspring,” the Ghost Rabbit said with immense pride.
That’s when Yi Zheng realized, the rabbit was talking about being a rabbit’s grandfather, not his grandfather!
Yi Zheng waved his hand dismissively, “I don’t care whose grandfather you are, you’re definitely not mine. Before your old bones are dug up, you’d better start talking. What exactly are you? What do you want? If you talk nicely, no problem, but if not, today I’ll grind you to ash!”
“I…” the Ghost Rabbit had never dreamed he’d encounter such a situation and inadvertently muttered, “I should have shot you onto a wall…”
“What did you say?” Yi Zheng asked.
The Ghost Rabbit hurriedly said, “The system assigned me to give you a Level breakthrough task!”
Yi Zheng’s eyes lit up; he had been wondering where to find a quest, and now one had come to him. But he had offended this Ghost Rabbit; this fellow might make things difficult for him.
Then Yi Zheng touched his mask and activated the Light Mask skill. In an instant, a soft white light seemed to radiate from him, making the rabbit look much brighter, with big watery eyes and an exceedingly cute face.
Watching Yi Zheng like this, Ghost Rabbit laughed, “Now you know how to act cute? Too late! Originally, considering you’re my grandkid, I was prepared to give you an easy task. But you want to dig up my corpse and scatter my ashes…”
“Stop!” Yi Zheng hurriedly shouted to stop, and all rabbits and groundhogs halted.
Yi Zheng said, “Don’t talk nonsense, I just wanted to find you a better feng shui spot.”
Ghost Rabbit rolled his eyes and said, “I don’t believe you one bit, you’re a really bad rabbit. But I don’t hold grudges, and since you’re not really my grandson, I’ll just deal with this officially.”
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? We’re family!” The next moment, a rabbit threw itself in front of Ghost Rabbit, its big eyes brimming with tears as it looked at him.
Ghost Rabbit felt utterly uncomfortable under that gaze and thought, How is this dead rabbit’s skin even thicker than mine?! He quickly scooted back: “Don’t randomly shout, who’s your grandpa, who’s your family?”
“You are my grandpa!” Yi Zheng thickened his face and moved closer.
Ghost Rabbit shook his head, “Don’t try to get cozy with me. You said it yourself, you’re not within that eighty percent range, at most we’re just former neighbors.”
Yi Zheng also shook his head, “Grandpa, that’s not right. All the older generation is gone, who clear things up from back then? Since it’s unclear whether I’m your grandson, we need to look at the problem from a scientific, dialectical perspective. Even though there’s no record, but you can see! Just look at how similar we look!”
Yi Zheng pointed at Ghost Rabbit’s face, “Our faces are both round, our bodies are of the same size, equally fat, the same fur color, the same big buck teeth. If someone said we were cloned, they’d believe it. Doesn’t this prove I’m your own flesh and blood? And take a look at those things!”
Yi Zheng turned and pointed at those two-meter-tall, muscular rabbits, “Each one looks like some sort of thing, even a fool knows they are not related to you! In the entire village, only we two look alike, it’s clear we are together, and those are the remaining twenty percent!”
Ghost Rabbit looked at those muscular rabbits and subconsciously nodded, then immediately exclaimed, “So many make up the twenty percent, then where are my eighty percent descendants?”
Yi Zheng pointed to the distant green grassland, “Grandpa, look, how green the grassland is.”
“Go to hell!” Ghost Rabbit raised his hand to strike, but alas, his hand passed right through Yi Zheng, infuriating Ghost Rabbit who glared at him furiously.
Yi Zheng asked, “Grandpa, what is my task for leveling up?”
Ghost Rabbit suddenly realized, “You almost tricked me; I am not your grandpa.”
Yi Zheng said, “Yes, you are!”
Ghost Rabbit, “No, I’m not!”
Yi Zheng, “Yes, you are!”
Ghost Rabbit, “No, I’m not!”
Yi Zheng turned back and waved his hand grandly, “Start digging!”
Ghost Rabbit, “Sun Tzu, let’s talk on the side.”

“Cease work.” After shouting this, Yi Zheng followed Ghost Rabbit, “You should have said earlier, it was almost dug up.”
Ghost Rabbit, “…”
Clearing his throat, Ghost Rabbit said, “Whether we’re related as grandparent and grandchild or not, I guess we’re shameless enough, let’s just pretend we are.
Well, I have three tasks, two of which are extremely difficult—I’ve helped you dodge those. Now there’s only one task left.
The task is very simple, just go to Limp Bird and bring back a feather. Easy, right?”
