The honest appearance of Fatty Xu gave Zhang Yi an inexplicably familiar feeling.
There had been such people around him in the past.
Not good at socializing and growing up in a relatively ordinary environment, so they would be somewhat inferior from childhood to adulthood.
When they grew up, due to poor communication skills, they couldn't make many friends.
So when others were a little nice to them, they could pour out their hearts.
After being deceived by the friends they thought they had, they began to doubt reality and then immersed themselves in the world of two dimensions.
This characteristic was extremely obvious on Fatty Xu.
Especially his excessive empathy ability. He could actually consider the problem from the perspective of Zhang Yi who had killed hundreds of people in Xudong Village.
Seeing Fatty Xu like this, Zhang Yi's killing intent towards him was much lessened.
But he didn't completely relax. Instead, he deliberately said, "You are really magnanimous! There must be your relatives among the people I killed this time, right? Don't you want to take revenge for them?"
Zhang Yi stared firmly at Fatty Xu's face.
As long as there was any abnormal expression on his face, he might strike and disable him first!
However, the sudden change of face he was waiting for didn't appear.
Fatty Xu just lowered his eyelids and said a little sadly, "My parents... died shortly after the snow disaster."
"My dad had a heart attack. On the first day when the temperature dropped suddenly, his heart attack occurred. As a result, the snow was too heavy. We couldn't send him to the hospital and couldn't find an ambulance. So he died at home."
"And my mom's body was relatively weak and she died in bed a week later."
There was a trace of apology on Fatty Xu's face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to tell you these things."
"After all, these things are not something to be happy about. I'm sorry if it affects your mood."
He smiled honestly and looked a bit embarrassed.
Zhang Yi was silent for a moment and then asked again, "What about the others in your family? Aren't the people in Xujia Village all from the same family?"
"People from the same family? Um... Sort of!"
Fatty Xu's expression was a bit blank. It seemed that he thought this statement was okay, but he also looked a bit puzzled.
"Although we are from the same clan, no one in our family has ever looked up to me. Probably in their eyes, I am just a waste who only knows to play computer at home!"
Fatty Xu smiled and scratched his head. "You see, they treat me like this. How much affection can I have for them?"
"So, I didn't hate you because you killed the people in Xujia Village. On the contrary, I admire you very much."
"When you chased us in a car and with a sniper rifle, it was so cool!"
When Fatty Xu said this, there was a sparkle in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Yi.
He dreamed of being such a handsome hero for once!
Let everyone in the village admire him and no longer regard him as a dead fat otaku or a waste.
Zhang Yi stared at Fatty Xu for a long time.
And Fatty Xu was extremely nervous inside.
Because from beginning to end, he didn't know much about Zhang Yi's ability. He could only roughly guess that it was related to space.
But one thing was certain. Zhang Yi's superpower completely restrained him.
So at their current distance, if they really fought, he had no chance of winning!
After a full minute, Zhang Yi slowly said, "Okay, since you took the initiative to come and seek peace, then I will give you a chance!"
"I have no interest in your village at all. Those ordinary people can't have much impact on me. But you are very interesting. For your sake, I can let Xudong Village go!"
Zhang Yi knew very well how to deal with people like Fatty Xu.
He was timid and cowardly and sensitive inside. As long as he was given some affirmation, he would pour out his heart to you.
So he needed gentle treatment instead of strong coercion.
Sure enough, as soon as Fatty Xu heard these words, his heart was immediately excited.
For his sake?
Doesn't this mean that he has been recognized by Zhang Yi?
For someone as powerful as Zhang Yi to recognize him was a great honor for him!
"Thank you!"
Fatty Xu said movedly.
"Don't be in a hurry! I have other requirements."
Zhang Yi continued, "From now on, I need you to follow my orders! You must not resist any of my requests."
Zhang Yi very much hoped to have a subordinate with powerful ice and snow superpowers.
Since killing him and the people of Xudong Village wouldn't bring direct benefits to Zhang Yi, it was better to give Fatty Xu a favor and then take him under his command.
When Fatty Xu heard this request, he hesitated a little.
"Any request?"
This general concept obviously made him a little worried.
What if Zhang Yi set his eyes on his ass one day?
Zhang Yi also saw his worry and curled his lips.
"I won't let you go to your death!"
Keeping Fatty Xu was to make him a useful helper when encountering difficult enemies one day in the future.
Seeing Fatty Xu's hesitant look, Zhang Yi thought for a while and took out his trump card.
"An otaku who likes two dimensions should have no resistance to this thing!"
With a stretch of his hand, Zhang Yi took out something from the huge warehouse in the alien space and handed it over.
"If you follow me, I won't treat you badly."
When Fatty Xu heard this and looked up, his eyes couldn't move away immediately. He was so excited that his 肥肉 trembled.
"Rei Ayanami!!!"
What Zhang Yi took out was an unopened Rei Ayanami figurine.
The 2024 limited edition. Only 50 copies were released globally. The online price was hyped up to 25,000 Chinese yuan, and it was priceless!
For an old otaku like Fatty Xu, this was simply the most desired treasure!
Fatty Xu couldn't believe looking at Zhang Yi and then pointed at himself. "This... is this for me?"
Zhang Yi nodded. "I still have a lot of things like this in my hand. And there are some rare and wonderful things of a generation."
"As long as you follow me in the future, I guarantee that there will be enough figurines, pillows and game cartridges!"
Treat different people with different methods.
For example, for Fatty Xu, giving him other things may not work well, but this thing will definitely make him unable to move!
Fatty Xu let out a "whoosh" and pounced over. He hugged the precious Rei Ayanami figurine in his arms and stared at it with burning eyes.
"Zhang Yi, so you are also into two dimensions! Then you... do you like Airi?"
Fatty Xu looked at Zhang Yi expectantly.
Zhang Yi was silent for a moment and then slowly shook his head.
"I am no longer a child."
Fatty Xu's face stiffened and he lowered his head in dejection.
"That's... right."
Zhang Yi sneered. "Only an otaku at your beginner level would like her! In my heart, Ren Nanase is the best forever!"
The light that had originally dimmed in Fatty Xu's eyes lit up again.
It was the taste of finding an organization.
