"Extra charge?"
"Yeah, if you want him missing an arm or a leg, no problem! You're a distinguished member, after all!"
"Better not then. Do I look like that kind of villain to you?"
"Not at all. You look refined, elegant, a true gentleman..."
"Then just help him change his gender."
"Okay." The director responded instantly.
The conversation between the director and Lin Han came to an abrupt end.
Director Liu Qingwan, who overheard everything, was already dragging Liu Peng toward the operating room.
After today...
Liu Peng would become Liu Pengyuan.
It was destined to be a perfect surgery—because at Peace Hospital, as long as one pays authority points, 98% of tasks can be resolved.
...
...
Lin Han returned to the tavern.
He found boss lady Yaya and her daughter Yaya anxiously waiting.
When they saw him come back, they rushed to meet him.
Yaya asked urgently, "Where is he? What did you do with him?"
"Of course I sent him to the hospital."
"When he wakes up, I'll give him some money to keep his mouth shut."
"No need. I mean, it's already been handled. Liu Peng agreed to let it go."
"That's good~ I didn't expect you to have such methods~"
Yaya let out a sigh of relief, her tone returning to normal.
At this point, Yaya came forward holding a medical kit.
She grabbed Lin Han's hand and gently blew on the wound with concern.
"Whoo… whoo… Does it hurt, Uncle Lin?"
"It tickles, haha."
"Come to the break room, I'll help you bandage it. You won't be laughing once the iodine hits!"
"Yikes! Then be gentle!"
"Don't worry!"
Saying that, Yaya pulled Lin Han into the break room.
She sat him down on a chair and laid out the medical supplies.
Using a cotton swab soaked in iodine, she gently dabbed it onto the wound.
The wound had many scrapes, and once the iodine touched it—sharp pain shot through!
Lin Han instantly sucked in a breath of cold air.
Yaya quickly comforted his hand softly, even more gently than when she hugged her teddy bear!
"Whoo… whoo…"
Soon, the wound was disinfected.
Then she applied Yunnan Baiyao and wrapped it simply with gauze.
"All done now. Uncle Lin, try to see if you can hold a pen?" Yaya asked.
"Hold a pen?"
"To sign the agreement! Mom agreed to make you my temporary guardian, and once the agreement is signed, I can play Creator soon!"
"So that's what this is about..."
"What, Uncle Lin, having second thoughts?"
"Not really, it's just that the game Creator is really hard. If you fail, don't come crying to me!"
"Yaya won't cry!"
Not long after...
With Yaya's urging, boss lady Yaya printed the guardian agreement.
The two adults quietly signed Yaya's temporary guardian agreement right in that little break room.
They both knew—
Once this three-part agreement was signed and verified through official facial recognition, Lin Han was essentially half a dad to Yaya.
And there was another hidden detail...
That was: signing such an agreement in this kind of setting basically meant Lin Han and boss lady Yaya were now much closer.
Legally, there was no recognition.
But if word got out, people would definitely say—these two… are not just friends anymore!
After signing the agreement, half a day had already passed since Lin Han logged off.
Not wanting to waste any more time, he brought Yaya straight into Creator.
...
...
A flash of white light.
Lin Han returned to Monster Planet.
Unlike before, now in the top-left corner of his screen, Yaya's first-person view also appeared.
This was the guardian perspective.
As a guardian, he had extensive rights.
He could even force her offline from this side!
In Creator, everyone was a creator.
That included Yaya too.
They wouldn't be on the same planet.
At least not for now—though maybe later.
When he saw Yaya's point of view, Yaya also let out a surprised shout.
"Wow!! So this is Creator? Amazing! Uncle Lin, where are you?"
"I'm watching you from the guardian view, don't worry and have fun—start by choosing a planet!"
"Choose a planet… I choose this pink one!"
Yaya's small hand swiped in front of her, passing over the blue planet, then the purple planet, then the red planet, and finally selected a pink one.
After making her selection—
She quickly descended onto the planet.
Because she didn't have a Civilization Keystone, her starting gameplay was no different from an ordinary player.
She began with only one Authority Point, which could only be used to create a single-celled organism.
And this single cell didn't even have parasitic abilities—it was extremely fragile.
It could only absorb nearby resources, growing step by step.
And at every moment, it had to guard against attacks from native lifeforms!
For regular players, evolving from a single cell to a full organism stage is actually extremely difficult!
Lin Han was just an exception!
He temporarily shifted his gaze away, withdrawing from her view, and looked toward his own world of creation.
"Open event log!"
[Your creation, Mechanical Lion God, killed a brontosaurus and absorbed a trace amount of iron.]
[You gained 10 Authority Points!]
[Your creation, Mechanical Lion God, killed a diplodocus and absorbed a trace amount of iron.]
[You gained 10 Authority Points!]

[Your creation, Primordial Dragon King, broke through its shackles and achieved significant growth!]
[You gained 59 Authority Points!]
After being offline for half a day, the notification bar was already overflowing with alerts.
The unstoppable rise of the Mechanical Lion God was long expected.
Whatever it killed, it usually wasn't even on purpose—it just accidentally stepped on them…
As for devouring gold ore, it only allowed for a slight improvement—just a bit more than eating dinosaurs.
At this stage, its growth had become very difficult.
Now, only by Lin Han manually directing the Great Dao and commanding other high-level monsters to help it hunt could further progress be made!
Meanwhile, the iron-headed fools of the Howl Tribe had decided to attack the ocean in hopes of finding Terror Lord and avenging their mother's death!
The journey was long, and across the vast ocean, Terror Lord—even with his massive size—wasn't so easy to find.
Among all these alerts, what surprised Lin Han the most was the Primordial Dragon King!
After not growing for such a long time, the Dragon King had finally made some progress!
During Lin Han's time offline, it broke through its own shackles and achieved significant growth!
Most likely…
It had been forced out of its lair by the Mechanical Lion God and was too humiliated inside…
So it had no choice but to work harder and strive forward.
Otherwise, where would a dragon even put its face?
