[Advanced Blood Slavery]: Creatures that have been stained with your blood will be your servants for all eternity, unable to rebel against you. This effect only applies to creatures of a lower level than you.

[Language Granting Advanced Version]: You can grant your own language abilities to any ancient race, or grant the language of an ancient race to yourself.

He Xie quickly glanced through the descriptions of the two advanced skills and immediately exclaimed in his heart, "Holy crap, awesome!"

The trigger condition for Blood Slavery has been lowered; it can now be triggered by reducing the amount of blood from blood essence to fresh blood.

At the same time, the scope of the triggering objects has also broadened, expanding from primitive alien races to all living beings.

In other words, even humans can be enslaved.

This is absolutely incredible!

Language, on the other hand, adds another effect.

It's no longer just about giving the ancient alien races a language and then communicating with them.

Instead, it allows one to acquire the language of ancient alien races and then communicate with them.

That's pretty impressive.

In the future, He Xie can take advantage of this information gap and, when the alien races of the prehistoric world think he cannot understand their language, deliver a voice that can hear all things, so that all information encrypted by the alien races' languages ​​will have nowhere to hide.

I, He Xie, am destined to crush all the hopes of humanity among the ancient alien races!

He Xie thought to himself, feeling incredibly excited.

He wanted to try out the advanced skill effects, but couldn't find a target to test them on for the time being.

Since we have a holiday tomorrow and the day after, I'll try again after I go back to the orphanage.

I glanced at my phone; it was already midnight.

Go to sleep, stay alive is the priority.

......

I slept without any dreams.

When He Xie woke up the next day, he found that the sun was already high in the sky.

He quickly washed up and then took out his phone to call Zhao Keying.

"what?"

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Keying's slightly languid voice came through.

She was clearly woken up by the ringing of her phone.

Upon learning this, He Xie immediately teased her, "Zhao Keying, the sun's already high in the sky and you're still not up. Be careful you never get married."

"I was working on my research in the pharmacology lab until four or five in the morning last night. What's wrong with me sleeping until now?" Zhao Keying said irritably on the phone.

He Xie didn't bother with any of that nonsense and went straight to the point: "I'm thinking of going back to the orphanage this weekend. Are you coming too?"

Zhao Keying yawned and said, "Can we do it later? My project is almost finished."

He Xie: "Okay, then give me a call when you're done."

Zhao Keying: "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I need to go to the pharmacology lab."

He Xie: "Okay, go ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Keying hung up.

The sound of "dududu" could be heard.

He Xie adjusted his posture and then dialed Liu Yan's number.

The call was answered quickly.

Liu Yan's mature and charming voice came from inside.

"Oh, so you finally decided to call back?"

He Xie hadn't contacted Liu Yan since he went to register at the school, which made Liu Yan feel resentful.

He Xie explained, "I'm not too busy. You see, as soon as I have a spare moment, I call you, Aunt Liu. No one is more filial than me."

Aunt Liu: "Hehe."

He Xie: "By the way, Aunt Liu, my sister and I are going back to the orphanage to see you tonight. Remember to have Jiu'er prepare a more elaborate meal for you tonight."

Liu Yan: "Heh, you little rascal, you make it sound so nice. Don't think I don't know you just want to come back and rock the bed with Jiu'er late at night."

Holy crap! Aunt Liu already knows?!

He Xie was greatly surprised.

He thought he had hidden it well, but he never expected that his adoptive mother would find out.

This is a bit awkward.

Perhaps Aunt Liu is just suspicious? Is this just a test?

He Xie realized this and promptly denied it, saying, "Aunt Liu, you just make things up, don't you? When did I shake the bed so loudly in the middle of the night?"

Liu Yan: "Hehe, I'm hanging up."

"All! All! All..."

Hearing the beeping sounds coming from the phone, He Xie felt speechless. He thought to himself, "Aunt Liu is already in her thirties, how come she still acts like a little girl?"

Perhaps... this is what people often call a girl's heart?

Well, it's probably because he spends all his time with young girls and has been subtly influenced by them.

After all, if you include Zhao Keying, there are four little girls in the family.

For the next period of time.

He Xie was bored, so he practiced breathing exercises in his apartment for a while.

After finishing his training, he used the Super Multiplier Card for a high-intensity workout.

Afterwards, I went into the bathroom to take a shower, feeling the results of my training as I washed.

After experiencing it firsthand, I found the results to be quite touching.

It's the same as not practicing at all.

In the realm of rare items, the benefits of breathing techniques and physical training are starting to seem somewhat inadequate.

The breathing technique is actually not bad.

As for physical exercise, it's practically zero now.

"Damn it, I should have known better than to exchange for so many Super Multiplier Cards. I should have exchanged for more Know Your Enemy Cards instead."

He Xie said with a look of regret.

In the past few months, he has clearly felt that his need for the Know Your Enemy Card far exceeds that for the Super Multiplier Card.

At that time, each person exchanged 1,000 tickets.

As a result, there are now less than 200 Know Your Enemy cards left, while there are still more than 800 Super Multiplier cards.

After sighing a few times, He Xie suddenly thought of his girlfriend, Lin Chuchu.

So I took out my phone, opened WeChat, and sent her a message.

He Xie: I'm going back to the orphanage tonight, do you want to come?

Lin Chuchu: Huh? Why are you only telling me now?! [Angry][Angry][Angry]

He Xie: What's wrong?

Lin Chuchu: In the morning, I made an appointment with my roommate to go hiking on the mountain behind the school in the afternoon, and to get to know the medicinal herbs in the medicinal plant garden on the mountain.

He Xie: That's great. Going out with your roommates more often will help improve your relationship.

Lin Chuchu: But I want to go to your house.

He Xie: Maybe next time.

Lin Chuchu: How about I tell my roommate that I'm not going this time?

He Xie: No, you should. You've only been in school for a short time, and you're already skipping your roommates. That won't leave a good impression.

Lin Chuchu: Okay then, next time you invite me to your house, you must tell me in advance!

He Xie: Definitely, definitely.

Not long after I finished chatting with Lin Chuchu, a voice chat invitation from Zhao Keying popped up on WeChat.

Click to accept the invitation, and soon Zhao Keying's intelligent and pleasant voice came through:

"I'm done with my work. I'll drive to your apartment building to pick you up. Come down and wait for me."

"good."

He Xie cherished words as if they were gold.

After exchanging only this one sentence, the siblings hung up without warning.

After hanging up, He Xie didn't rush downstairs to wait for Zhao Keying to drive over.

Instead, he went outside into the corridor, leisurely waiting for Zhao Keying while looking at the scenery below.

"Creak—"

The door to dormitory 403 next door was pushed open.

He Xie turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a boy with side-swept bangs walking out from inside.

The boy's bangs were so long that they covered his right eye, and his sideburns were also thick, almost covering his entire ear.

It gives the impression of being like the non-mainstream culture of more than ten years ago.

He Xie recognized the person; it was a boy named Chen Mingjian from his class.

He comes from Anlin Province and is the third-highest scorer in the evolutionary science college entrance examination there.

His hobbies seem to include watching anime and collecting figurines of his waifus; he's a bit of an otaku.

"Hey, where are you going?"

He Xie greeted Chen Mingjian with a smile. After all, they were classmates and their dormitories were right next to each other, so it would be awkward not to say hello.

Chen Mingjian replied, "Let's go eat."

After saying that, he lowered his head and walked away quickly, looking quite introverted.

Seeing him like this, He Xie was quite puzzled.

Those who can get into the all-around class are all exceptional talents, selected from among thousands.

Shouldn't the chosen ones of heaven be blessed with lives higher than the heavens?

Even if she's not destined for greatness, she shouldn't look so introverted, right?

Chen Mingjian is, well, a rather strange person.

"Shake~"

Just as I was thinking this, the phone in my hand suddenly started twitching.

It was Zhao Keying who sent the voice call invitation.

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Keying's slightly annoyed voice came from the other end: "Where are you?"

"Coming right away."

After saying that, He Xie hung up the voice call.

He then jumped directly from the fourth floor and landed on the ground with a thud.

"ah!"

A passing girl was so frightened that she wet herself, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her face pale with fright.

Chen Mingjian, who had just come downstairs, was so frightened that he instinctively took a few steps back.

Zhao Keying, who was in the car, was also startled and flinched.

[The contrast value from the passing girl is +9875.]

[The contrast value from Chen Mingjian is +8868.]

[The contrast value from Zhao Keying is +9854.]

"Are you crazy?!"

Zhao Keying rolled down the car window and said a few words to He Xie with a speechless expression.

He Xie opened the car door and got in, saying smugly, "There's nothing I can do, I'm just too strong, I can do whatever I want."

Zhao Keying rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at you, you're bound to get into big trouble sooner or later."

He Xie pinched Zhao Keying's chin and teased her with a smile, "So what if you stumble? Just cry in your arms and you'll be back to full health and mana in no time."

Zhao Keying slapped his hand away: "Go lie down with your Chuchu!"

After saying that, he stepped on the gas and drove the car out of the school.

The siblings didn't talk much on the way.

The reason is simple: Zhao Keying's driving skills are too poor; she needs to be completely focused to drive.

Halfway there, Zhao Keying suddenly stopped.

He Xie was looking down at his phone when he saw her stop before the traffic light and asked in confusion, "Sis, why did you stop?"

"We're stuck in traffic," Zhao Keying said.

It's not rush hour, so how can there be a traffic jam?

He Xie was puzzled and looked up out of the car.

Then I saw a bus stopped in the middle of the road, motionless, seemingly broken down.

Because the bus was too big, it took up a lot of space when it stopped in the middle, leaving only small passageways on both sides.

Many drivers with poor driving skills are afraid of scratching the car when they drive over.

So they stopped one after another, causing a traffic jam.

Fortunately, the broken-down bus was towed away shortly afterward.

The roads are clear again.

The only ones who felt sorry for the passengers getting off the bus were the ones who were left behind.

Now they have to wait on the side of the road for a bus to pick them up.

"Sis, I saw someone I know in that group of passengers. I'll drive over and pull over to the side of the road, and I'll ask her if she wants a ride."

He Xie said to Zhao Keying.

Zhao Keying didn't say anything, but silently drove over and parked on the side of the road as he asked.

After the car stopped, He Xie rolled down the window and called out to Wen Xiuwen in the crowd, "Xiao Wenzi, do you want a ride?"

"Why thank me?"

Wen Xiuwen was a little surprised, not expecting to run into He Xie in a place like this.

Seeing that she was standing still, He Xie urged her, "Do you want a ride? If so, hurry up and get in the car. If you stay on the side of the road for too long, it will get snatched."

"want!"

As she spoke, Wen Xiuwen jogged over, opened the car door, and climbed into the back seat.

Upon seeing Zhao Keying in the driver's seat, she asked somewhat reservedly, "He Xie, and who is this?"

He Xie: "This is my sister."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiuwen immediately smiled, her beautiful eyes crinkling, and said, "Hello, sister!"

"Hello."

Zhao Keying responded with a polite smile.

After saying that, he stepped on the gas and slowly drove the car back to the middle of the road, concentrating on driving the whole way.

He Xie turned around and looked at Wen Xiuwen behind him, asking, "You should be going home, right?"

Wen Xiuwen nodded: "Yes."

He Xie continued, "Where do you live? I'll have my sister deliver it directly to your door."

Wen Xiuwen quickly waved her hand and said, "No need for that trouble. Just drop me off at your house, and I'll go back by myself."

He Xie smiled and said, "It's okay. We both went to the same high school and lived there as commuters, so our homes shouldn't be too far apart."

Seeing that He Xie had already said so, Wen Xiuwen no longer held back and replied with a smile, "My home address is No. 208, Hexie Street. Thank you for your help."

"Harmony Street?"

He Xie raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Hey, we live on the same street. You live at address 308, which is only a kilometer or two away from my house. It's pretty close."

"Most importantly, it's on the way, so it seems I have no choice but to take you home."

"Then I'll have to trouble you and my sister," Wen Xiuwen said with a beautiful smile.

Zhao Keying, who was driving, unusually responded, "It's alright, no trouble at all."

He Xie suddenly asked, "By the way, didn't An Ruoli come back with you?"

Wen Xiuwen: "Ruo Li is quite diligent and wants to stay in school to study hard and make the most of every minute."

He Xie nodded: "I see..."

"yes."

Wen Xiuwen replied, a fleeting look of surprise flashing in her eyes as she looked at him.

She understood He Xie's personality to some extent.

Since breaking up with An Ruoli, he has basically cut off all contact with her.

The breakup was so absolute that it's practically impossible for her to bring up her in front of others.

However, now, it's been brought up on their own initiative.

Could it be... that the relationship between these two is about to rekindle?

But doesn't he already have a girlfriend?

Well, it was probably just a casual question.

Wen Xiuwen explained He Xie's behavior in her mind in this way.

What she didn't know was that He Xie's current attention to An Ruoli wasn't about a resurgence, but simply because An Ruoli's true form was a demonic plant, which made him unable to ignore her.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of an alley on Harmony Street.

Zhao Keying, in the driver's seat, turned around and smiled at Wen Xiuwen, saying, "Classmate, we've arrived at your house. The alleys inside are a bit narrow, so I won't drive in."

"Thank you, sister."

Wen Xiuwen said with a grateful expression.

After getting out of the car, she thought for a moment and said, "Well, how about you come to my house for dinner? Consider it a way of thanking me for bringing me home."

"No, dinner is already prepared at home and is waiting for us to get back. Maybe next time."

Zhao Keying politely declined.

He Xie also said, "Next time I have time, I'll come and try your cooking again."

Wen Xiuwen paused for a moment, then smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting."

After saying goodbye to He Xie and Zhao Keying, he turned and walked into the alley.

He Xie glanced at the house with the number 208 from afar and found it to be very dilapidated, looking no better than the previous orphanage.

No wonder I saw job postings for summer jobs on her phone back then.

It turns out that her family wasn't well-off.

However, he has now been admitted to the University of Mountain and Sea Evolution.

I estimate I'll be able to move to a new house in about two years.

Our living standards will also improve significantly by then.

He Xie thought to himself.

Soon, the car started again and drove straight to the orphanage.

They hadn't driven far when He Xie's phone twitched.

Upon opening it, I found it was a message from Wen Xiuwen on WeChat.

Wen Xiuwen: Actually... my parents passed away when I was five years old. They were attacked and killed by a prehistoric alien race. Now, only my sister, me, a younger brother, and a younger sister are left in my family.

He Xie didn't know why Wen Xiuwen was suddenly saying all this to him, but it didn't stop him from feeling a little uncomfortable.

It's a world where life is cheap, families are broken and people are dead, and orphans are everywhere.
