Chapter 3
The voice of the Soldier King System 001 briefly quieted the chaotic crowd in the audience area.
The spiritual entities crowded together, chattering excitedly with their companions nearby.
“SSS! The little one’s spiritual power is SSS level!”
“Amazing little one!”
“Mommy’s treasure is the best!”
“No, no, no, Daddy’s treasure! Woo woo, the little one is incredible!”
The clustered diode spiritual entities, upon hearing that the cub possessed SSS-level spiritual power, felt even more empowered themselves.
Such a cute baby, with such great advantages!
How could a world have such a wonderful baby?!
The diodes were easily fooled; they completely forgot their earlier anger at being tricked by the “Cub Soldier King Candidate” and instead were utterly captivated by the adorable cub.
The main stage inside the virtual live broadcast sphere was protected by a shield, preventing the audience from rushing onto the stage. So, the spiritual entities pressed and contorted themselves to occupy every inch of space against the transparent shield.
From the central light orb on stage, looking outward, a group of oddly shaped, colorful spiritual entities surrounded the tiny cub in the middle, each shimmering and radiating light from the ripples of their spiritual energy.
Maka Maka, the host, had struggled to squeeze back from the audience area onto the main stage. His once neat and elegant three-piece suit was now somewhat disheveled, but his hairstyle on his head still stood firm as steel.
Having reached the main stage again, Maka Maka finally saw the adorable cub inside the light orb.
Ah! The cub seemed to be looking right at him!
Maka Maka’s face glowed green with excitement; he felt his heart pounding wildly—if he were a spiritual entity spectator rather than the host, he would have already given the highest tribute to the adorable cub: “Heart Blossoming with Joy!”
In the corner of his eye, Maka Maka noticed that just outside the transparent shield, among the crowded audience, a few spiritual entities had blossoming flower buds on their chests—those were the ones shouting “Cub Daddy/Mommy loves you!”
Meanwhile, the earpiece in Maka Maka’s ear informed him that with the cub waking up, their variety show’s subscription rate was skyrocketing!
Huh?
What?
They said this was a Soldier King competition show, and such a cub candidate was unsuitable?
No, in the grand universe entertainment era, there are never candidates unsuitable for a show—only candidates who fail to bring excellent subscription numbers!
Looking at the precious cub before him, Maka Maka felt his heart melting.
“Wah wah wah, he’s looking at me, he’s still looking at me!”
Maka Maka’s antennae trembled wildly; his two pairs of humanoid arms were awkward and unsure where to be placed.
Outside the transparent shield, the audience spiritual entities grew even more excited, buzzing and murmuring enviously toward Maka Maka.
“Why does the baby only look at him?”
“Green-skin Maka Maka isn’t good-looking at all, baby, look at mommy! Look! Mommy’s chest has blossomed a beautiful little flower for you!”
“Daddy has one too! Daddy has one!”

At the very center of the virtual live broadcast sphere’s main stage, the tiny cub Su You, just awakened, clutched his teddy bear, looking around in confusion.
Where is this place?
Su You felt a little scared, but he had just heard a gentle and pleasant voice saying it would always be by his side.
He couldn’t remember that long string of names, so he tilted his head and pondered for a while before asking, “Tong? Tong Tong?”
The formidable main god-level Soldier King System 001 was nicknamed “Tong Tong.”
System 001 was silent for two seconds before gently replying beside Su You’s ear: “It’s me. I’m here.”
Su You opened his large, grape-like aquamarine eyes and looked around, still unable to see Tong Tong, but it didn’t matter—he could feel Tong Tong right beside him!
The little one happily called “Tong Tong” several times in a row.
Soldier King System 001 patiently responded to the little one’s calls, making Su You laugh joyfully while clutching his teddy bear inside the light orb.
Outside the transparent protective shield of the virtual live broadcast sphere, more and more audience spiritual entities were overwhelmed by cuteness, bursting in joy one after another. Their blossoming flowers on their chests glowed fluorescently, floating above the audience area like countless little glowing lanterns.
Hearts blossoming with joy!
Maka Maka on the main stage was so excited he was nearly shedding green tears!
He loved the diode audience!
Diode audiences were the best audience!
While Maka Maka was overwhelmed with excitement, the cub who had been calling “Tong Tong” finally shifted his attention, turning to look at Maka Maka and the spiritual entity spectators around him.
The little one blinked his aquamarine eyes, first looking toward Maka Maka, and then, to Maka Maka’s ecstatic green glow, pointed his tiny finger at him.
“It’s the color Yoyo knows! It’s green!”
The little one’s sweet and clear voice traveled through the main stage light orb and the cosmic light network, reaching every network terminal tuned in to the second season of “Super Soldier King Melee.”
At that moment, many viewers who had not yet entered the live broadcast sphere couldn’t hold back any longer!
They wanted to enter the virtual live broadcast sphere!
They wanted to get closer to this most adorable little treasure on site!
Inside the virtual live broadcast sphere of “Super Soldier King Melee” Season 2, the number of spiritual entities flooding in grew ever greater. The initial Level 1 audience area could no longer contain such a fervent crowd.
In the blink of an eye, the original Level 1 audience area had surged to Level 5—oh my, and this was a show that had only been airing for less than a cosmic hour!
Their show was exploding in popularity!
The Black Universe Group would never miss such prime promotional material; massive promotional traffic continuously poured into “Super Soldier King Melee,” propelling the variety show to the top of the grand universe trending list once more!
Curious viewers eagerly flocked into the live broadcast room.
Inside the virtual live broadcast sphere, Maka Maka was glowing green all over with excitement, feeling on the verge of exploding!
Why!
Why did this world have such a cute little treasure like Yoyo?
Oh yes—the viewers inside the live broadcast sphere had just learned the little cub’s name: Su You.
---
Favored by Yoyo’s green glow, Maka Maka used his last shred of reason to do what a host should do.
He steadied his voice and asked the little one inside the light orb, “Baby, what’s your name?”
The little one inside the orb, like a good student hearing a teacher’s question, seriously hugged his teddy bear to his chest and earnestly introduced himself to Maka Maka: “My name is Su You, the ‘You’ in Yoyo! This is my good friend, called Xiong Xiong! Xiong Xiong’s ‘Xiong’!”
Outside the transparent shield on the main stage, the audience spiritual entities had already packed in, their hearts blossoming with joy. Upon hearing the little one’s self-introduction, the audience area erupted like fireworks, spiritual entities spinning and launching blossoms from their chests, exploding brilliantly in the air.
Perhaps the spiritual entities’ explosive cheers were too loud, successfully attracting Su You’s attention inside the light orb.
The little one’s eyes widened as he watched the dazzling “fireworks” inside the live broadcast sphere, a soft, joyful smile spreading across his face.
“Tong Tong, Xiong Xiong, there are flowers!”
The virtual live broadcast sphere’s AI knew exactly what scene would truly stun the audience at that moment. The main stage lights dimmed swiftly, and in the spiritual entity viewers’ world, the central light orb on the stage seemed like the universe’s core, where the finest light and hope gradually took shape.
Inside the light orb, happy little Su You climbed out from under his little blanket, clutching his teddy bear and gazing with astonishment at the blooming “fireworks” of flowers in the broadcast room.
Outside the transparent shield, the audience spiritual entities had completely lost their rationality, utterly enchanted by the little cub.
“Wah wah wah, wah wah wah, he said his name is Yoyo, Yoyo is so cute!”
“Does Yoyo like watching fireworks? Mommy will set off fireworks for Yoyo! Boom! Mommy exploded, does Yoyo like it?”
One firework after another burst beautifully, and the audience seats in the live broadcast sphere began to fill with more and more floating “heart blossoms.”
“Yellow, red, purple… so many little flowers!”
The little cub inside the orb curiously counted the floating “flowers” in the air. The originally crowded spiritual entity audience made way, giving space so the little one could see the flowers clearly.
“Wah wah wah, baby, Mommy’s Yoyo treasure, what’s your favorite color of little flower?”
On the dazzling, radiant audience seats, every spiritual entity wished they could display every color the universe could reflect, hoping to catch the little one’s attention with their beautiful hues.
Inside the light orb, Soldier King System 001 seemed to notice the audience’s eagerness and asked the little one, “What color do you like best?”
With his beautiful aquamarine eyes, the little one blinked and, in a carefully considered tone, answered, “The color of the sky. Yoyo likes the color of the sky! The teacher said Yoyo’s eyes are just like the color of the sky, the most beautiful!”
The next moment, the little one suddenly looked toward the direction outside the shield and exclaimed, “Wow!”
Outside the transparent shield, the once multicolored spiritual entities suddenly all turned the same aquamarine color as his eyes.
Happy little Su You looked at the scene, which resembled a starry universe sprinkled with glowing points, eyes wide with delight.
But the next moment, the little one who had just stood up suddenly vanished from his original spot!
Huh?!
Maka Maka, still immersed in amazement and regretful that he couldn’t change color himself, anxiously asked, “Yoyo! Where is our baby Yoyo?”
Soldier King System 001: “......”
The scene inside the light orb quietly shifted: the little one who was once on his small bed had tumbled off with his little blanket and teddy bear!
Soldier King System 001’s gentle yet precise voice seemed to falter slightly—
