Chapter 55 — Stupid Papa
Little Coco burst into laughter the moment Krishna hit the ground.
"Gravity did its work, Daddy!" she said proudly.
"The ground didn't come and hit you… you fell and hit your head!"
Krishna rolled onto his back, sighed, and took out a pill.
After swallowing it, he slowly stood up again, steadying himself.
He looked at his daughter with amusement.
But she wasn't done.
She was roasting him without mercy.
Krishna crossed his arms dramatically.
"My God… my true genes are strong," he said proudly.
"I like insulting people, and now you've inherited it."
He nodded seriously.
"I insult my friends. You insult your father. Perfect evolution."
Little Coco tilted her head and said instantly,
"Papa is covering his embarrassment by acting proud."
Krishna froze.
For a second, he said nothing.
Then he thought to himself, There is always someone better than you in something.
"In roasting… she's number one," he admitted internally.
"Even the God of Scholars is second now."
He sighed, then laughed.
Picking her up, he carried her to the bathroom.
"Let's brush."
From outside, it looked like a father helping his daughter.
In reality—
The daughter was helping the father.
Krishna stared at the toothbrush like it was a weapon from another world.
Little Coco grabbed it and showed him how to apply toothpaste.
"Papa is like a caveman," she said.
"Doesn't even know how to use a brush."
Krishna felt proud.
And embarrassed.
At the same time.
While brushing, something suddenly crossed his mind.
Last night.
The strange floating thing.
The system.
He looked at Little Coco.
"What was that thing you saw yesterday?"
She blinked.
"I don't know."
Right at that moment—
The system appeared in front of her.
Daily Skill Lottery Available
Because of her age, the system interface looked soft, bright, and friendly.
Little Coco smiled.
"See, it's here again!"
Krishna looked at the empty air.
He couldn't see anything.
But he spoke anyway.
"If my daughter was my age… would you still give all this?"
The system responded with a simple display.
No.
Little Coco read it out loud.
Krishna narrowed his eyes.
"So you're generous only because she's a kid?"
The system replied coldly.
I do what I want. Who are you to question me?
Krishna frowned.
Little Coco started laughing loudly.
Because from her perspective—
Two completely different worlds were arguing.
One didn't understand technology.
The other didn't understand cultivation.
It was chaos.
Krishna sighed.
"I don't understand this thing," he admitted.
"Keep it away from me."
Then he looked at his daughter.
"Go on. Use it."
Little Coco nodded and activated the lottery.
As it started spinning, she thought silently,
Papa is like a caveman… and this system is like a future robot. Both don't understand each other.
The system paused.
Internally—
It regretted everything.
Why did I choose a child…
But it continued.
The result appeared.
Legendary Skill Acquired: Healing Touch
Krishna's expression changed instantly.
His eyes widened slightly.
A legendary skill.
He understood immediately.
This wasn't ordinary healing.
This could restore almost anything.
His mind flashed back—
The pain.
The damage.
The destruction his body went through using dark force.
He looked at his daughter.
"If you can… heal my legs—"
He didn't even finish the sentence.
Little Coco placed her tiny hand on his legs.
She focused seriously.
Nothing happened.
Silence.
Krishna blinked.
Then suddenly—
A dangerous smile appeared on his face.
Good.
Very good.
"If the next person I meet is an enemy… I'll kill them."
"If they're a friend… I'll reward them."
His inner ego had spoken.
After everything he endured—
Getting a skill that didn't immediately solve his problem irritated him.
He looked at Little Coco and said calmly,
"This is a life lesson. Understand?"
She looked at him innocently.
"Papa is jealous of the system."
Krishna opened his mouth—
Then closed it.
Not a single word came out.
