Record
Jungkook hadn't cried many times in his life.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
At twenty-eight, I had faced all sorts of challenges; even when I was tricked into a pyramid scheme, I hadn’t been afraid. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
But this time was different.💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Seeing the golden-haired doll locked in that small cage, still smiling sweetly at the person who had hurt me, seemingly unaware of the horrible things done to him, would break anyone’s heart. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
I felt it even more deeply.💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
I'm a puppet craftsman, having worked in the field for thirteen years and created thirty puppets. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Each puppet was like my own child. 💭
Imagining his cherished creations being treated this way made Jungkook's eyes sting with unshed tears, and he felt an intense urge to commit violence against the abuser.
Despite his tears, Jungkook didn’t forget that the doll was still locked in the cage.
He found the key on the coffee table, but his hands trembled so much that Jungkook struggled to insert the key into the lock.
During this time, the golden-haired puppet kept staring at Jungkook's face, seemingly puzzled about why his master was crying.
The puppet tilted his head, causing his golden curls to flutter.
When the cage finally opened, the puppet slowly crawled out.
As he stood up, he wobbled and fell to the left.
Jungkook was about to reach out to support him, but the puppet had already fallen to the ground.
Sitting there, the puppet looked around in confusion, seemingly dazed by the fall.
When he looked up and saw Jungkook, a look of surprise and joy spread across his face.
The golden-haired doll clumsily stood up and hugged Jungkook's waist, rubbing his fluffy head against Jungkook's stomach, his soft voice soothing,
From Jungkook’s perspective, all he could see was the doll’s fluffy golden hair, and his tears flowed even more fiercely.
He crouched down and hugged the puppet, his voice hoarse
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Son, daddy’s not sad.
Jungkook's heart, already burdened with the weight of an old father’s worries, completely broke down
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Despite being beaten and abused, the little puppet didn't hold a grudge. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Instead, when his master was sad, he not only didn't bear any resentment but even tried to comfort his sad master after falling down. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
What kind of angel is this?💭
Due to his position, Jungkook didn't see that when the puppet heard the word "dad," his expression turned icy cold.
The puppet hugged the man's neck, his fingers subtly measuring around the man's neck, seemingly considering from which angle to snap his neck, completely shedding his previous innocent and comforting demeanor.
Craftsman System 01
Ahh, the host is finished! 💭
The system screamed silently in Jungkook's mind.
Craftsman System 01
It knew all too well how dangerous this world was. 💭
Craftsman System 01
It regretted not intervening sooner 💭
Craftsman System 01
It should have stopped the host from meeting the puppet while still in the flying vehicle!💭
Craftsman System 01
Would the host die before even completing the process? 💭
Craftsman System 01
Was it about to break the record for the shortest mission failure time in the bureau’s history? 💭
Craftsman System 01
No way!! 💭
Panicking, the system hastily canceled the mute program and spoke up:
Craftsman System 01
【Host, according to the data, the puppet’s hunger is rising. You should go to the kitchen to prepare some energy stones.】
Craftsman System 01
At the very least, it needed to separate the host from the demonic puppet for now. 💭
Craftsman System 01
[The puppet required energy replenishment. ]
Craftsman System 01
[The last time the little puppet ate was a week ago. ]
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
A week ago! Damn it! 💭
Jungkook was taken aback for a moment but then quickly stood up.
His movements were too sudden, startling the golden-haired puppet, whose deep blue eyes widened slightly.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to scare you
Jungkook quickly apologized, soothing the puppet by gently patting its head.
Watching the puppet squint with comfort like a contented cat, Jungkook felt his heart melting.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
So adorable, so obedient. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Ah, truly an angel. 💭
Jungkook lifted the puppet and placed it on the sofa. Before leaving, he ruffled the puppet’s fluffy head once more.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
You stay on the sofa, kiddo. Dad will make something delicious for you.
Afterward, Jungkook deliberately turned on the projector, playing the most popular animation from Blue Star.
Satisfied to see the doll smiling softly at him, Jungkook left the spacious living room.
Only the cheerful sounds of the cartoon filled the room now.
Jungkook, on his way to the kitchen, had no idea that the docile puppet was fixedly watching his retreating figure.
The puppet’s gaze was chillingly sticky, like a hungry python hunting its prey, considering where to strike.
Craftsman System 01
[Host, why did you call yourself 'dad'?】
Upon entering the kitchen, Jungkook heard the system's question and paused briefly.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Can't I call myself that?
Craftsman System 01
[Well, it's not that you can't]
The system silently pondered
Craftsman System 01
【but did you see how 'happy' the puppet was when it heard you call yourself 'dad'?】
Jungkook turned on the faucet to wash his hands, not thinking much about it.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
I've taken over as the guardian of the puppet from the original owner.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Calling myself 'dad' will make us feel closer.
His answer was rather nonchalant.
The system, relieved that the puppet hadn't actually taken action, didn't press further.
Craftsman System 01
【Host, are you ready to proceed now? Currently, you've only received a third of the original owner's memories.】
The system saw Jungkook starting to busy himself in the kitchen and quickly prompted him to continue with the process.
Craftsman System 01
Judging by the host's appearance, he won't last long. 💭
Craftsman System 01
The system doesn't allow breaking records on its own, and even if it wants to set a record, it must at least wait for it to complete the process, otherwise it would be too embarrassing! 💭
Jungkook nodded, and the fluctuating electronic sound by his ear quickly made him understand what was going on
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
[ In short, the Craftsman System organizes craftsmen who have passed away from various planes, and assigns them tasks in different dimensions to promote the spirit of craftsmanship. ]
Craftsman System 01
【Your task is to create an SSS-class puppet.】
The system continued, adding:
Craftsman System 01
【The Central Bureau will also randomly issue side tasks. Completing side tasks can earn rewards.】
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
The original owner’s memories didn't have much knowledge about puppets, but basic information was known. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
For example, S-class puppets are extremely rare on Blue Star, not to mention SSS-class, which are legendary existences.💭
He couldn't help but admit that such a task could greatly arouse the interest of a puppeteer.
The system glanced at the notebook, self-assured that the process had been completed, and immediately entered a lazy mode.
As long as it finished the process, that was all it cared about, it perfunctorily said:
Craftsman System 01
【Do you have any more questions, host?】
Craftsman System 01
If not, it would withdraw. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
You brought me here, but where did the original body go?
Jungkook touched the scar on his right hand, smiled as if casually asking, without much concern
The system shrank in Jungkook's mind and cautiously replied:
Craftsman System 01
【This question is confidential. I can only tell you that this body is yours, and you don't need to worry about anything else.】
Craftsman System 01
Considering this world is extremely dangerous, it didn't think the host could survive. 💭
Craftsman System 01
Out of respect for him as its first host, it didn't mind giving a harmless little information to the host. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
The body belongs to me? 💭
Jungkook was stunned for a moment, then pondered slightly.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
This statement could mean two things. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
First, the original owner is still alive and using my own body. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Perhaps it was taken away by the System Central Bureau or some other force beyond control. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
It seems it is not on this plane. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Second, the original owner is dead, and the body is too damaged to use. 💭
Thinking of how he woke up in the private box, Jungkook ruled out the second possibility.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
I suddenly felt a little regretful. How could that scumbag not have died? 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
But on second thought, it's good that he's not dead. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
In the future, there's a chance to meet him and beat up the original owner.💭
Jungkook smiled and thanked the system
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
If it weren't for you guys, I would have died long ago.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Thank you. I really like this plane.
Upon hearing Jungkook's liking, the system's body flashed with green light, seeming a bit guilty.
It forced itself to calm down and said
Craftsman System 01
【As long as you like it. I need to return to the Central Bureau now to coordinate with other craftsmen for missions. If you need anything, just think of my ID, 01.】
Jungkook nodded, realizing the electric current sound in his ears had completely disappeared. He tentatively asked
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
System, are you still there?
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
So quickly? 💭
As Jungkook sighed, he took out a large energy stone from the kitchen drawer, as big as an adult's fist.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
But size didn't matter. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Its color was dull and it was shriveled like a piece of coal. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
This red energy stone was the lowest grade, containing very little energy. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
I could buy a pound of it for three star coins.💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Puppets are born from mother stones and given bodies by puppeteers' hands, and powered by energy stones to walk in the mortal world. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
For puppets, energy stones are like three meals a day for humans. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Skipping one or two meals is fine, but if they go without energy for a long time.... 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
.....The puppet's heart will crack, dry up, shatter, and fall into eternal sleep. 💭
Jungkook grinned and swung down his knife towards the energy stone.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
The original owner was such an idiot to even forget about this. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
For a whole week, the little puppet hadn't received any energy 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Or perhaps, he simply didn't care about the puppet at all. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Otherwise, how could he use such a low-grade energy stone? 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Even that weird regulator costs tens of millions. 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
I couldn't help but suspect if the original owner was on the verge of bankruptcy. 💭
Jungkook didn’t have any time to buy anything else; he could only make do like this.
He sighed and placed the energy stones in a plate, then turned and left the kitchen
In the living room, the puppet was attentively watching the projection screen, swinging its legs back and forth, softly humming along to the theme song of an animated series.
Jungkook's heart melted instantly.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
So obedient! 💭
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Lan Luo, come eat. After you finish eating, you can watch again
Jungkook said as he walked towards the sofa.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Lan Luo was the puppet's name.💭
The blonde puppet heard his voice, turned its head towards Jungkook, and his blue eyes curved into crescents.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
It was another sweet attack. 💭
Jungkook controlled his itchy hand.
He placed the plate on the table
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Lan Luo, make do with this for today.
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Tomorrow, Dad will make you something delicious
Lan Lou [JK's puppet] [S-Grade]
Okay
Lan Luo's voice matched his appearance—soft and obedient, with a hint of crispness.
He smiled at the plate, and in the next moment, there was an imperceptible pause.
Seeing the puppet not moving, Jungkook thought for a moment and explained
Jungkook [A-Level Puppet Master]
Dad chopped the energy stones into small pieces so it's easier for you to eat it as a little snack.
The energy stones were especially large, too big for the puppet's hands to hold.
So Jungkook chopped them up in the kitchen, filling a whole plate.
Anyway, cutting them wouldn't dissipate the energy, and it was quite easy to chop, it was like cutting potatoes.
If he wasn't in such a rush, and if the puppet wasn't starving, Jungkook could even carve them into decorative shapes; he was quite skilled in this regard.
Lan Lou [JK's puppet] [S-Grade]
