    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Ever since high school, Jiang Rong felt that she was different from the male classmates around her.Whenever the male students around him get together to discuss which female student in the class is more attractive, he is always not interested.A small movie that male students like to watch, every time he is forced to watch it, he will feel physically uncomfortable.

    Although he is not interested in girls, he likes to look at boys' abs and Adam's apple, and sometimes stares at models in men's magazines.

    After discovering his abnormality, he went to the Internet to check the information.Only then did I know that there is a kind of people in the world who don't like the opposite sex, but only like the same sex. They are called homosexuals.

    In foreign countries, two people of the same sex can fall in love and get married.However, in the country Jiang Rong lives in, homosexuality is somewhat shady.

    When Jiang Rong found out that he was gay, Jiang Rong panicked for a while. He felt that he was a different kind and was out of tune with everyone.His gloom was noticed by his parents, and he confessed his sexual orientation to them under their careful explanation.

    Jiang Rong's parents thought homosexuality was a disease at first, so they put off work and accompanied him to the hospital to see a psychologist.However, the doctor told them that homosexuality is a genetic problem, and that Jiang Rong's liking for men is probably congenital, and there is no way to cure it.

    The parents were relieved after being sad for a few days, and they comforted Jiang Rong in turn.In their view, no matter whether the son likes a man or a woman, as long as he is happy, it is fine.

    But no matter how open-minded the two elders were, they still worried about their son's future.They worried that he would be lonely when he was old without a normal family, and worried that he would be judged by others in the future because he had no children.

    In Jiang Rong's senior year, his parents suddenly came to his school to pick him up to his hometown.At first he thought something happened at home, but when he was about to arrive at his hometown, he learned something: his parents adopted a son for him, and today they will take him to see the son.

    He was stupid at the time and resisted fiercely in his heart.How could he suddenly become someone else's father, a good young man who didn't understand human affairs?Isn't this a joke?

    But when he saw a crying baby with a flushed face in Jiang Zixuan's house, he stretched out his hands to hug the helpless crying child.Strange to say, the crying child stopped crying when Jiang Rong hugged him, and stretched out his little pink hand to Jiang Rong with tears in his eyes.

    The procedures for adopting Jiang Xiaoheng were reasonable and legal. In order for Xiaoheng not to be criticized by anyone in the future, the Jiang family's parents sold the house in Jiang Jiaqiao and severed all ties with the village.

    If it wasn't for the big crisis, Jiang Rong would have brought Xiaoheng to live in City C, and he would never have any contact with anyone in his hometown who knew the inside story.He will not reveal his sexuality to people other than his parents, recalling the unbearable encounters in those years.

    The shower head sprayed warm water droplets, which landed on Jiang Rong's shoulders, neck and back.The eyes of the young man with wet hair were reddish. Instead of calm and alienated in the past, he was a little more fragile and sad.

    Jiang Rong knew that he was venting his anger, and he shouldn't vent his problems to Guan Shao.Maybe because he was injured, and because he saw someone he didn't want to see, his mood is a little unstable now: "Guan Shao, I like men, are you afraid?"

    From the year when he knew his sexual orientation, Jiang Rong knew that his relationship path would not be smooth.

    Although Jiang's family is not a wealthy family, his parents are open-minded and stable. He hopes that one day he will meet a good partner who can empathize with him spiritually and tolerate and understand each other in life.

    But whether it is the discrimination against homosexuals in today's general environment or the indulgence of gay groups, they all tell him that it is too difficult for him to find someone to live a good life with him.

    It's not that he hasn't tried hard over the years.But the people met either knew his sexuality and drew a line with him, or they just wanted to sleep with him.After several injuries, he never thought about it again.

    Especially after experiencing the previous life, he was used to seeing the dark and cruel side of human nature.In this life, he just wanted to live a good life with his son, and he didn't want to think about any romance.

    He is different from Guan Shao, he likes men, Guan Shao may like women.If Guan Shao had sense, he should have left the bathroom after hearing these words.

    However, Guan Shao didn't even change his expression, "What's so scary about this?"

    Jiang Rong thought that Guan Shao didn't hear clearly, so he frowned: "Did you hear what I said? I mean..."

    Guan Shao looked seriously at Jiang Rong's eyebrows and eyes: "You said, you like men. What's so scary? I also like men, isn't this a normal thing?"

    Jiang Rong:???

    Guan Shao bent down with his usual expression, "lift your feet."

    Jiang Rong followed Guan Shao's instructions blankly, and raised his left foot with his hand on the wall.Guan Shao held the front half of the sole of his foot, bent over and gently foamed Jiang Rong's slender ankle.An itchy feeling came from his feet, and Jiang Rong couldn't help but want to pull his feet back.

    However, Guan Shao held it tightly, and just as Jiang Rong moved a few times, Guan Shao said slowly: "Don't move, your center of gravity is unstable now, and you may fall."

    Jiang Rong's brain was a little confused. Did he hear Guan Shao say that he also likes men?He also said that liking men is a normal thing?

    Guan Shao scrubbed very meticulously. He even rubbed the seam between Jiang Rong's toes: "There are only men in this world, but women. What's wrong with liking men? We don't steal or rob, and we don't break the law. Why should we be afraid?"

    Hearing this, Jiang Rong's eyes became even more red.

    He and Guan Shao have the same point of view. During the period when he was under colored glasses by the people around him, he asked himself countless times: He just likes men, so why should he be labeled gay and dirty?

    Guan Shao said sternly: "As an adult, I feel that as long as we don't harm the society, don't hurt others or ourselves, what we like is our personal freedom, and other people can't control it."

    Jiang Rong's nose was sore, Guan Shao's words touched his heart.Yeah, he likes men and doesn't hurt anyone, why should he be criticized?

    Guan Shao gently put down one of Jiang Rong's feet and turned to the other.In fact, he can understand Jiang Rong's thoughts, worldly prejudice is a knife to kill, not everyone can be as lucky as him, and meet a group of partners who can understand him.

    Jiang Rong's body trembled slightly, and warm water droplets fell from his body.He felt himself being hugged gently by Guan Shao, and Guan Shao's gentle voice came: "Jiang Rong, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I am willing to carry it with you."

    Afraid of crushing Jiang Rong's severed arm, Guan Shao's hug was gentle and restrained.He said slowly: "You may not believe it, but I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. The first time I saw you in Chenggang Gym, I wanted to leave your contact information.But when I saw Xiaoheng's photo on your phone, I thought you had a family, so I gave up."

    "I thought it was the only time we met, and we might not see each other in the future. I didn't expect that I would be saved by you on a dark rainy night. You said, isn't this the guidance of fate?"

    "If you don't hate me, can you give me a chance to take care of your father and son?"

    Jiang Rong's ears turned red all of a sudden, and even his cheeks were slightly pink, "This...isn't it too sudden?"

    Guan Shao nodded after thinking for a moment: "Yes, you're right, I was indeed abrupt. We haven't known each other for long, and you still don't know what kind of person I am. I was reckless, but Jiang Rong, I'm serious."Yes. I hope you can examine me carefully, and if I don’t do well, you can kick me out at any time.”

    Jiang Rong opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

    It is impossible to say that he has no feelings for Guan Shao.After getting along during this period of time, he felt that there was an extraordinary tacit understanding between him and Guan Shao.How should put it, doing anything with Guan Shao is very exciting.

    Parents once told Jiang Rong that when they met the right person, as long as they saw his face, they would feel happy, and when they thought of this person, they would feel at ease. Once they couldn't see him, they would feel uncontrollably worried.

    Although he has not reached this point yet, the sense of security that Guan Shao brings to him cannot be expressed in words.He really wanted to keep Guan Shao, even if Guan Shao lived in his house all the time, he didn't mind.If it was someone else, he would definitely find an excuse to let the other party move away.

    Guan Shao is a very nice person, not only as a teammate but also as a roommate, he is impeccable.If he can still find the other half, if the other is Guan Shao...he is willing.

    Guan Shao looked down, with a smile in his eyes: "Turn over, let me wipe it for you?"

    Jiang Rong followed Guan Shao's gaze, wishing there was a crack in the ground for him to slip in.He turned around to face the wall, and used his good arm to protect the key position: "Don't wipe it, it would be impolite to wipe it again."

    The bathroom door opened, and Guan Shao with a smile on his face came out from the door.He immediately saw Jiang Xiaoheng and Jiang Hao who were poking their heads outside the door, "What's wrong?"

    Jiang Xiaoheng asked with concern: "Uncle Guan, have you wiped my father's body well?"

    Guan Shao scratched his hair embarrassingly: "I haven't finished wiping."

    Jiang Xiaoheng tilted his head, and asked in puzzlement, "Why didn't you finish wiping?"

    Guan Shao rubbed the heads of the two children: "Because it would be rude to wipe it off."

    After saying this, Guan Shao happily walked towards the kitchen, leaving the two children looking at each other in dismay: "Impolite?" They just wipe their bodies, how could they be impolite?

    In the evening, the supernatural beings who had enough rest came to Jiang Rong's house to meet.The reason why chose to meet here is because the things want to talk about today are more important and cannot be known to outsiders for the time being.

    Among this group of people, only Ruan Hanyu came here for the first time, so she specially made a box of beautiful snacks and brought them here.When seeing the little fairy, Ruan Hanyu's eyes widened: What a big cactus!

    Jiang Rong purposely took a room out to use as a conference room. As soon as they entered the room, everyone was attracted by the shiny crystal nuclei piled up on the big round table in the conference room.Except for Jiang Rong and the others, it was the first time for the others to see the crystal nucleus.

    Pan Pan couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch a soil-brown crystal nucleus: "Brother Jiang, what is this?" What to do, he likes this thing so much that he doesn't want to let go.He used to see female colleagues who couldn't walk when they saw jewelry, but now he finally understood what it was like.

    Jiang Rong invited everyone to sit down, "I invite you here today because I want to tell you something. Why don't you guess what these things are?"

    Everyone was talking and expressing their opinions, only Wang Chunlan gave the correct answer: "Are these things the energy crystals that grow on mutated animals and plants?"

    Jiang Rong's eyes lit up: "Sister Chunlan is right. How did you think of it?"

    Wang Chunlan pursed her lips and smiled. As a doctor, she is very sensitive to wounds.The group of mutated wild boars that were exterminated today all had a round hole in their heads. Before that, she was still wondering what happened to these pigs to form such a unique wound.Now that she saw the crystal nucleus on the table, she was connected to those wounds.

    Jiang Rong gave a thumbs-up in convincing: "Sister Chunlan is right, these things are called crystal nuclei, and they are taken from the head of a mutated wild boar." Hearing Jiang Rong's words, Pan Pan put the crystal nuclei back as if electrocuted.on the table.

    Guan Shao added: "Except for the mutant wild boar, all mutant animals and plants will grow crystal nuclei. The higher the level of the ability, the bigger the crystal nucleus. The color of the crystal nucleus produced by each ability is different, such asHere, the green crystal nucleus corresponds to the wood-type ability, and the brown crystal nucleus corresponds to the earth-type ability."

    Ruan Hanyu's voice was trembling: "Brother Guan, you mean... we also have something like this in our heads?"

    Guan Shao nodded: "Yes."

    Jiang Rong introduced: "Crystal nucleus can help supernatural power users improve their abilities." He took out a cyan crystal nucleus from the crystal nucleus to demonstrate in public, "Use your own ability to guide the power in the crystal nucleus., as long as the power in it does not conflict with your own ability, you can use the power of the crystal nucleus for your own use."

    A cyan power oozes from Jiang Rong's fingertips, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, the cyan nucleus turns into white powder.

    Everyone looked at each other dumbfounded: "This..."

    This is amazing too!If this news gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar among the supernatural beings.

    Jiang Rong said slowly: "According to my findings, most supernatural beings can accurately find crystal nuclei suitable for their own use. Let's take a look and see if there are any of these crystal nuclei that you are particularly concerned about and want to have.".”

    Although he felt a little nervous, Pan Pan still grabbed the brown crystal nucleus again: "I think I like it quite a bit."

    Not everyone is as lucky as Pan Pan. The mother and daughter Ruan Hanyu and Wang Chunlan couldn't find a crystal nucleus that suits them. They feel that all crystal nucleuses are similar.

    Jiang Rong comforted: "Wild boars are good at digging soil, and there are more earth-type abilities awakened in the herd. Don't worry, we will collect more crystal nuclei in the future, and there must be one suitable for you."

    During this hunt, everyone obtained 87 crystal nuclei. Apart from the one absorbed by Jiang Rong and the one held by Pan Pan, there were 85 crystal nuclei left.There are nine colored crystal nuclei among these crystal nuclei, and the rest are transparent crystal nuclei.

    Jiang Rong divided the colored and colorless crystal nuclei into two piles. After looking around, he said seriously to everyone: "Now I want to ask everyone for their opinions on the distribution of crystal nuclei."

    The crystal nucleus will become the most important material for the supernatural beings in the future. In addition to being able to exchange rich materials with the crystal nucleus, it is also the energy storehouse for the supernatural beings.The more powerful the ability user, the more crystal nuclei they need. Everyone present knew this truth, so their expressions became serious.

    From ancient times to the present, the distribution of benefits has caused the most controversy.If the problem of distribution of crystal nuclei is not resolved, sooner or later a serious disaster will be planted among everyone.

    I remember in my previous life, there was a strong base in the next province that attracted many supernatural beings to join.But it didn't take long for the base to be destroyed.Later, it was heard that the supernatural beings in power were too greedy and almost took away the crystal nucleus of the entire base, which caused the riots of the supernatural beings.

    Jiang Rong didn't want to be spendthrift and foolish, nor did she want to squeeze people with supernatural powers.He said slowly: "We are a team, I think what we get from missions together should be shared equally."

    As soon as the words fell, everyone shook their heads in disapproval.Pan Pan looked serious: "Brother Jiang, I don't think this is appropriate."

    Although it is a team, everyone faces different risks.Taking yesterday's action as an example, Jiang Rong and Guan Shao killed the most mutant wild boars. Pan Pan and Ruan Hanyu only managed to kill the wild boars under Guan Shao's guidance.

    Wang Chunlan and the others agreed with Pan Pan's statement: "There is a saying that more work pays more. I think those who work harder should get more crystal nuclei." Wang Chunlan and Lei Lei were only doing logistics work, and they didn't even have blood on their bodies., how can you take the crystal nucleus that your companion sacrificed his life for?

    Jiang Rong has a different understanding of this: "I understand everyone's meaning. I think so. We are a team. If you think of the team as a bucket, the team members are the wooden boards that make up the bucket. How much water can be held cannot be determined byThe highest plank decides, not the lowest plank."

    "We want to go longer and farther. Every member of the team must make progress. If we say that the crystal nucleus is concentrated in the hands of already strong players, wouldn't the strong be stronger and the weak progress more slowly?"

    "I propose to divide the crystal nucleus equally, which means to equally divide the crystal nucleus that we can all absorb." Jiang Rong picked up a transparent crystal nucleus and explained, "According to my observation, this kind of crystal nucleus is suitable for many supernatural beings. In the futureIf it is divided equally, such crystal nuclei will be equally divided."

    "As for the colored crystal nucleus, if there is something suitable for everyone, you can use it directly."

    The process of collecting crystal nuclei is like opening a blind box. What kind of crystal nuclei you can receive and how strong the level is depends entirely on luck.Jiang Rong used the crystal nuclei on the table as an example: "For example, among the crystal nuclei collected this time there are four earth-type crystal nuclei, then these soil-type crystal nuclei will be given to Pan Pan. If the crystal nuclei collected next time are water-typeYes, then leave the water system crystal nucleus to Hanyu. In short, our team is on a mission, and the crystal nucleus collected should be used by our own people as much as possible."

    Regarding the crystal nuclei that his own people cannot use, Jiang Rong also has his own ideas: "The crystal nuclei that the team members cannot absorb for the time being will be stored with me first. After the base is completed in the future, many supernatural beings will come to join them.It can be left to them as a reward or in exchange."

    Chu Qiang hesitated to speak, and after holding it in for a long while, he still couldn't hold back: "But Xiaojiang, if it's evenly divided, wouldn't you and Guan Guaner suffer too much?"

    Jiang Rong and Guan Shao looked at each other and laughed: "The most important thing in a team is to be united, don't worry about one or two crystal nuclei. Everyone will encounter the problem of seeking a bargain. This time I suffered a loss, maybe next time I willHow cheap it is."

    Everyone looked at each other, and finally accepted Jiang Rong's suggestion.After a while, a small pile of crystal nuclei appeared in front of everyone. The crystal nuclei were large and small. Generally, the number of crystal nuclei distributed to each person was even.

    Pan Pan was ashamed: "If you want opaque crystal nuclei, don't give them to me. I already have four earth-type crystal nuclei." In addition to the largest brown crystal nucleus, there are three colored crystal nuclei of the same kind.Color nuclei.

    Holding these crystal nuclei, Pan Pan felt extremely ashamed.He obviously put in the least amount of effort, but got the most.

    Jiang Rong laughed and said, "Didn't you just say that? Everyone will encounter the situation of taking advantage of a disadvantage. In case there is no soil element next time, you can only watch us divide the crystal nucleus."

    Pan Pan scratched his hair embarrassingly, and finally he held the crystal nucleus in front of him: "Brother Jiang, I must absorb it well, improve my abilities earlier, and live up to everyone's expectations."

    Everyone laughed, and after a while, Wang Chunlan asked: "By the way, Xiao Rong, I want to ask, do we need to recruit more people for our supernatural team?"A few more people.

    After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Rong said: "We must recruit people, but we must screen people carefully, not to attract wolves into the room and not to miss good talents. I think the size of our team should not exceed 15 people. It is too big to manage."

    There are also hidden dangers when there are too many people. If people with bad intentions are recruited, it will drag down the team, not to mention, it will even harm the people in the team.

    Guan Shao said in a deep voice: "After the establishment of the base, there will be many people with supernatural abilities coming to join us. Keep your eyes open, and remember to investigate carefully when you see outstanding people."

    Jiang Rong concluded: "Our team has just been established, and there are many systems and rules that are not complete. But it doesn't matter, let's take it easy and perfect it."

    After distributing the crystal cores, Jiang Rong still had something to say: "Just now we talked about the distribution of crystal cores during team activities. Now let's talk about the distribution of materials and crystal cores when we act alone."

    Jiang Rong looked around: "If you travel alone and find materials or crystal nuclei, the crystal nuclei can be kept, but you have to hand over two-fifths of the materials." The operation of the base is indispensable, since the superhumans have chosen the baseAs a shelter, it should contribute to base construction.

    In the peace base in the previous life, if the supernatural beings found supplies, they had to hand over four-fifths.Jiang Rong set this value, and everyone thought it was acceptable.

    After solving the core problem of material distribution, everyone felt relieved.Everyone was full of longing for the base they wanted to build, and they spoke freely.

    Pan Pan couldn't help but said: "When I went home today, people in the village dragged me to ask questions. Didn't we say that we had no plans to build a base? The villagers were so anxious that they kept begging me to persuade me.Can you build a base?"

    Among the seven supernatural beings present, only Pan Pan still lives in his hometown.The nearby villagers did not dare to come to Chu Qiang's and Jiang Rong's houses, so they could only block Pan to ask questions.This morning, several waves of people came to Pan Pan's house, all for joining the base.

    Thinking that a few days ago they still felt that it was not worthwhile to join the base, and today they begged themselves with all their wealth, Pan Pan felt comfortable physically and mentally.

    Chu Qiang chuckled: "They're scared."

    The people nearby thought that they could survive even without the protection of the supernatural beings.But it's different now. A village as big as Jiang Jiaqiao has been turned into ruins overnight. Who can guarantee that their village is intact?Who can guarantee that they can survive unscathed under the ravages of mutated animals and plants?

    Compared with life, money and land are not important.No matter how many supplies you have, you still need life flowers.

    Jiang Rong thought about it: "It is estimated that in the next two days, someone from Qiang Zi's family should come."

    This is also Jiang Rong's plan. Instead of recruiting people with great fanfare like other bases, it is far better for people to ask for their protection with sincerity and respect.

    Lei Lei is not interested in the game between adults, she is more concerned about their future home: "Uncle Jiang, when will our base be established? How big will it be? By the way, what's its name?"

    Jiang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly: "If the speed is fast, the base will take shape within a week. The base at the beginning will not be too big, it only includes a few nearby villages. After more people defect, the base will slowly grow.Expansion. As for the name of the base... I haven't decided yet. Everyone will think about it after they go back, and give our base a resounding name."
