I'm doing abstract animation

He was an orphan and didn't know what it was like to have a family, but at this moment he felt a strange sense of anticipation, an anticipation of living with Doro.

Although there are still many questions surrounding this little guy.

Why did she appear in this world, and why does she have the ability to modify cognition? But... it doesn't matter anymore.

This little thing was willing to get beaten up just to offer him oranges; for that reason alone, he was determined to have her!

P.S.: Today's chapter is a long one, only one chapter. By the way, is anyone still reading it?

Dimensional Brawl: Chapter Seven - Collecting 'Love'

Wow, is this what people call a home?

As soon as the door opened, Doro couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, then rushed into the house and circled around without any hesitation: "This is so much better than where Doro lived before!"

Wang Li looked a little embarrassed. What kind of big place was this? A one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment cost 1,500 yuan a month. In this little-known town in H province, it was already considered one of the worst.

In other words, Doro is quite ignorant...

Doro seemed curious about everything, touching and patting everything, his little face full of excitement.

"Alright, Doro, I'll take you to take a shower first, then we'll go out to get something to eat."

Seeing that the little one was about to jump onto the bed, he quickly stopped him.

You know, she's covered in a grayish mess right now, and if she jumps onto the bed, it'll be a hassle for quite a while.

Doro nodded obediently, and then Wang Li led her into the bathroom.

The bath went smoothly. Doro didn't bark or fuss, unlike some canines that are extremely afraid of water; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

Wang Li took the opportunity to examine her physical structure.

Just as he imagined, Doro was a two-dimensional being. Although she had the appearance of a girl, she was asexual. Her body and limbs were hairy like a doll, and he couldn't even sense any bones inside. It felt like squeezing cotton when he touched her.

"It feels so good after a shower!"

After taking a shower, Wang Li pointed the fan at Doro, intending to dry her off. It was around July, the sun was scorching and the weather was hot, so without air conditioning, Doro wouldn't catch a cold.

The little guy lay on the bed with a bath towel under him, his face full of happiness. His whole body was like a puddle of soft mud, and at this moment, only four little paws were showing. This once again refreshed Wang Li's understanding of two-dimensional creatures.

He felt that if he put the little one into a tube, she might be able to flow down the tube.

Once the little guy was almost dry, Wang Li put him on his shoulder again and went out to get something to eat.

It has to be said that after Doro was cleaned up, the beast was completely different from before.

Her fur was as white as snow. Although her small face was made up of lines, it was surprisingly endearing. Her pink hair made her look just like one of his old friends.

Carrying her on my shoulder, she attracted a lot of attention along the way, especially some children who wanted to grab Doro's snow-white furry body.

Of course, Wang Li ignored all of these requests.

Although Doro has been reclassified as a pet, she is not a pet in his heart. He considers her a partner rather than a pet, after all, she embodies his hope of returning to that world.

This is an unnamed town belonging to H City. The pace of life here is quite slow, and there aren't many restaurants along the roadside. Most people prefer to cook for themselves rather than eat out, since those who stay here are mostly housewives and elderly people, while the younger ones have mostly gone out to earn money.

Wang Li is an exception; he has lived in this town for over ten years.

Since he came here at the age of twenty, he has been attracted by the slow pace of life here. He has no relatives, so he has no so-called responsibilities. He only needs to eat his fill and his family is not hungry. Compared to struggling in the big city and being exhausted like a dog every day, he would rather live a retirement life ahead of time.

Big cities have their vibrancy, and small towns have their tranquility.

Prices here are low, and rent is only a little over a thousand a month, so he can live comfortably on his own.

After thinking it over, he took Doro to a small roadside restaurant.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

Pointing to the menu posted on the wall, Wang Li said casually, "Don't worry about saving me money, just don't waste it."

He wasn't in a rush for money. Living in this slow-paced town, sometimes you don't even have anywhere to spend your money. Over the years, he's accumulated some savings.

"Hehe, I've never tried any of these Doro dishes before, let's have someone order!"

Perhaps because it was her first time eating at a restaurant, Doro was a little reserved. When she heard Wang Li say that she should order the food herself, she touched her head and grinned foolishly.

"Okay, do you eat meat?"

"Doro will eat anything that can fill his stomach. He's not a picky eater."

Nodding, Wang Li went up to talk to the owner and ordered a stir-fried pork with chili peppers, a tomato and egg soup, a stir-fried vegetable dish, and two bottles of soy milk from the refrigerator. The whole thing cost him twenty-five yuan.

Two dishes and a soup, with both meat and vegetables, should be enough for two people.

"It's a beverage!"

Insert the straw and hand the soy milk to Doro; Doro's eyes immediately light up.

She carefully held the bottle, and the straw magically fit into her shapely mouth. After taking a deep sip, a blissful expression appeared on her face: "Delicious!"

Wang Li stroked his chin, feeling a slightly prickly, rough texture on his hand: "Doro, where did you come from?"

Fearing Doro might not understand, he added, "What I mean is, where did you live before? You can't have lived here all the time, can you?"

Doro, sipping his soy milk, said without a hint of suspicion, "Doro used to live on Planet Doro!"

Planet Doro?

Wang Li's lips twitched. He had guessed that the Doro should have a race, but he never expected that there would be a planet of Doro...

After calming himself down, Wang Li asked, "So how did Doro come to Earth?"

The little guy was completely unsuspecting of him and happily explained things to him.

"Every Doro must travel to other planets for training before reaching adulthood."

She knows the concept of a planet, but not the concept of a world... No, perhaps even she herself doesn't know the origin of this little thing...

Wang Li asked thoughtfully, "Then what is the purpose of your training?"

"Hehehe, Doro's goal is to collect 'love'! Once he collects enough love, Doro can complete his trials and return to Planet Doro!"

Doro, without anyone noticing, was holding up a small red heart in each paw and wiggling it in front of him: "Once these two little hearts turn red, Doro can go back to his planet!"

Love, love?

No, can this thing be collected?

Isn't this thing even more ethereal than emotions?

Wang Li's eyes twitched violently, but he quickly realized something.

This God of Doro is probably on the same level as his predecessor, and might even be more powerful.

After breaking through to the seventh color, he could feel that the so-called energy was everywhere. He could mobilize the energy of the entire world and even the world ocean at will. He could even clearly feel the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of living beings. He could even turn emotions into his power, which was terrifying.

Even so, he can say with certainty that he did not feel love before, because love is more ethereal than emotion. It can only be described as a feeling. Emotion can be described as spiritual energy, but love cannot even be considered spiritual energy.

"Can I see that?"

Wang Li pointed to the little red heart in Doro's hand; he was curious about this item that could collect love.

"Hehehe, here you go!"

Doro readily handed a small red heart to Wang Li: "Here you go, sir."

Wow, so generous!

"This is too expensive, Doro, and you're going to use it to collect love, so I can't accept it."

Although Wang Li has a cold personality and his childhood experiences have instilled in him the mentality that it's a fool not to take advantage of others, he just can't bring himself to take advantage of the innocent Doro.

"Hehehe, it's okay, Doro still has others!"

Doro, looking smug, stretched out her little paw and rummaged behind her back, pulling out a blank little heart in front of Wang Li.

Wang Li: "...Wait, didn't you say that collecting two little hearts was your training mission? How come you have more?"

"Yes, you only need to collect two little hearts to complete the trial, but if Doro collects more little hearts, he might be able to advance to Doro Knight or even Doro Angel after completing the trial. So Doro has prepared a few more little hearts."

Scratching his little head, Doro's face showed longing: "If I could become the Doro Angel, I could bring more happiness to people in the future!"

Doro Knight, Doro Angel...

This sounds a lot like changing jobs in a video game...

However, since Doro said she had several more of these little hearts, Wang Li stopped refusing and took the little heart to examine it.

This little heart was like a cheap glass craft, completely transparent with no patterns on it. Wang Li noticed a little rose-red liquid at the bottom of the heart.

Is this what 'love' is?

Wang Li brought the little heart close to his eyes and carefully observed the red liquid at the bottom of it. However, because there was so little of it and he no longer had the same level of observation skills as before, he couldn't figure it out even after looking at it for a long time.

At this moment, the boss finished cooking the dishes. He temporarily suppressed his desire to study the dishes, served two bowls of rice, and handed Doro a pair of chopsticks.

He was worried that Doro wouldn't know how to use them, so he showed her how to use chopsticks.

Unexpectedly, Doro smiled innocently, and the two chopsticks were more nimble than he was in her little hands.

This amazed Wang Li. This little thing was strange; she only had a vague understanding of many things, yet she could read and even use chopsticks.

Wang Li speculated that these were probably common sense things that the God of Doro had instilled in her.

"Ah, so delicious!"

Doro picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers and put it in his mouth, his expression immediately turning to shock.

She had been living in poverty since she came into this world. The best thing she had ever eaten was the oranges that the old woman who collected recyclables gave her. She usually spent the money she earned from collecting bottles and receiving charity from the old woman on buying oranges. She had never eaten this kind of stir-fried dish with lots of oil and salt.

"Eat more if you like it." Wang Li smiled and put a few pieces of meat into her bowl. "I'll take you to eat even more delicious food in the future."

"Okay, okay, you should eat more too!" Doro nodded as he put food into Wang Li's bowl. "Only when you're full can you feel happy more easily!"

Are you happy?

Looking at the extra food in his bowl, if he remembered correctly, this was the first time in his life that someone had served him food... A strange feeling welled up in his heart.

It was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Dimensional Brawl: Chapter 8 Past and Hope

Wang Li is an orphan who was abandoned by his parents at the entrance of a hospital when he was a child. After being discovered, he was reported to the police, but the police were unable to find him and he was sent to an orphanage.

The orphanages back then were nothing like they are now. Nowadays, if an orphanage does anything excessive, it risks being exposed at any time. But back then, the orphanages... In Wang Li's memory, the most memorable thing about orphanages was the high iron fence.

The caregivers inside weren't as wonderful as outsiders imagined. After all, they were dealing with a bunch of children all day, most of whom had physical disabilities. Even the kindest person would gradually become repressed in such a depressing environment.

Perhaps those caregivers had good intentions at first, but the environment influenced them. After only a few months, they would generally become irritable, ranging from cursing to physical violence. Believe it or not, that's how it was back then.

Wang Li was relatively lucky. Since he had no physical defects, he did not need much care from the caregivers, so the caregivers there treated him quite kindly.

But it was precisely because of this that he was ostracized in the orphanage.

Why are you different from us?

Why do the aunties only scold us and not you?

Children with disabilities are still human beings; they also have normal human emotions. It's normal for them to feel unbalanced because of the treatment they receive.

So at the age of fourteen, he was practically kicked out of the orphanage.

He still remembers what the old director told him.

“Xiao Li, don’t blame Grandpa Headmaster. If you stay here, not only will the other children suffer, but you will too. You are different from them. You can survive on your own, but they can’t. You can see a wider world outside, while they can only wait to die outside…”

To be honest, when he first left the Pi Orphanage, he didn't understand what the director was saying, and he even felt resentful. He hadn't done anything wrong, but he was the one who was kicked out.

So during that period he lived almost entirely with hatred.

But at some point, he gradually came to understand what the dean had said.

He did nothing wrong, the director did nothing wrong, the caregivers did nothing wrong, and even the children who ostracized him did nothing wrong. Nobody did anything wrong; the only ones at fault were those irresponsible parents.

The director runs an orphanage and has to beg and plead for funds. He is in his fifties but looks like he is in his sixties.

Caregivers come in with kind hearts, earn meager wages, and do tiring, dirty, annoying, and often endless work. In the end, they are driven to a drastic change in personality, and many even end up in the hospital. What did they do wrong?

Those children grew up in this environment, surrounded by other children with disabilities. Suddenly, someone completely different from them appears, and is even more loved by the caregivers. How can they feel at peace with this?

No one is at fault; the only ones at fault are those who didn't show up and were irresponsible.

The word "family" seemed both distant and close to Wang Li. When he saw Doro serving him food, the word suddenly came to mind.

Only family members would pass food to each other like this.

"Hehe, thanks, Doro."
