Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 849

Early the next morning, when Thalia and Denise came out of their rooms, they saw Miguel still sitting in front of the computer. His hair was disheveled, and he had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been beaten up.

Seeing him in such a state, the two exchanged a glance and walked over to Miguel. “What's wrong with you?” Denise asked, looking at him.

Miguel could barely keep his eyes open. He stared at the computer, his hands still rapidly typing away. “I don't believe I can't pass this level. I don't believe it...”

Seeing him in this dazed state, Thalia reached out and touched his forehead.

“How is he?” Denise asked.

“He's not running a fever!” Thalia replied.

“Then... Is he going crazy?” Denise asked.

Thalia nodded in agreement. “That's possible!”

Saying that, Thalia leaned closer to take a look at the computer screen. At this moment, Miguel was frantically trying to break through some kind of obstacle as his hands moved at lightning speed.

“What is he doing?” Denise asked.

Thalia shook her head. “I don't understand!”

Denise leaned in to take a look and nodded when she saw the screen. “Oh, he's trying to climb the rankings!”

“Climb the rankings? What's that?” Thalia asked.

“It's a challenge in Hacker Community. You have to break through as many levels as possible within a certain time frame!” Denise explained.

“So, what's his current rank?”

“Fifth!”

“Who's in first place?” Thalia asked.

“First place is naturally Shadow Seeker, the second place goes to Tony, the third is someone called Evil, and the fourth is Ben. He's in fifth place!” Denise said.

Upon hearing this, Thalia looked at her. “Your family occupies three out of the top five spots?”

“Shh.” Denise made a hushing gesture.

Thalia suddenly realized something and looked at Miguel, who was still absorbed in his pursuits. At this moment, he seemed obsessed while continuing his climb.

Seeing that Miguel didn't react, Denise nodded to Thalia. “There's nothing we can do. Our family is just exceptional!”

Thalia pondered for a moment. “What about you?”

She remembered that Denise had some skills as well.

“Naturally, I'm in the rankings too.”

“What place?”

Denise frowned. “Do you have to ask?”

“I do!”

Denise sighed.

“Come on, tell me! I won't tell anyone else!”

“Eighth...” Denise mumbled.

“What?” Thalia asked again.

“Eighth place!” Denise said with great reluctance.

The rankings of the top few were displayed there. Upon hearing Denise's ranking, Thalia nodded thoughtfully. “Well, there's quite a gap!”

“Do you think it's easy to climb up those rankings? I've put in a lot of effort, and besides, not many can catch up to Tony’s insane skills...” Denise muttered.

Seeing the little princess getting a bit frustrated, Thalia immediately tried to pacify her. “Yeah, it's true. This thing is pretty challenging. I don't understand it myself, but I heard from Dave that getting on that ranking is really difficult. Being in eighth place is already impressive.”

“That's right,” Denise pouted. Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Thalia and asked, “Do you know what rank Kyle is?”

Thalia paused for a moment. “I really don't know about that...”

“You didn't ask him?”
