Worn-out cloth shoes

[Rank: SSS (Unique)]

[A pair of cloth shoes belonging to an unknown elderly father, lost while buying oranges.]

Passive Skill: Fatherly Love. Attacking the opponent's buttocks once, or attacking any part of their body three times, will force them to cry out, "Daddy!" (Attack methods are not limited to fists, palms, swords, licks, picking, etc.)

Passive Skill: Back View. When you hold an orange, everything else can only see your back. (The method of seeing is not limited to gaze, mind, memory, fate, cause and effect...)

[Active Skill: Demon Father. When someone calls you "Dad," if you acknowledge it, they will be forced to recognize you as their father. (Maximum number of children: seven; current number of children: two.)]

[Active Skill: Companionship. When the Back View is activated, the user can project themselves next to their children, with the projected strength being 80% of the original's. (The projection possesses the characteristic of immortality; the original cannot move while Companionship is activated.)]

Ultimate Skill: Sacrifice. Unlocked if the initial condition is not met; acquire seven daughters or seven sons.

My father's father's name is...

Looking at the long list of attributes associated with the "broken shoe," Li Qingyu couldn't help but gape in astonishment.

Damn it...

Six skills....

This is the equipment with the most skills that Li Qingyu has ever seen. Excluding the ultimate skill that he can't use yet, it still has five skills.

However... after glancing at the descriptions of these skills, Li Qingyu was still a little disappointed.

First, the original abilities of the broken shoe have not changed much, and have even been weakened to some extent.

For example, with the skill "Ghost Father," the original Ghost Father could take in children without any limit on the number. The only thing to worry about was the judgment regarding mental will.

However, the current "demon father," although he has lost the ability to judge in terms of mental will, can now only have a maximum of seven children.

This directly shattered Li Qingyu's vision of spreading his seed throughout the world and becoming the father of all living beings.

Furthermore, Li Qingyu had another question, which was...

Why does the current number of children for the "Demon Father" character show as two?

Li Qingyu did some quick calculations...

Princess Kiki, Master White, the Great Assassin, Lilith...

That makes four already.

Could it be... that two of them aren't his biological children?!

Okay, let's leave that aside for now, but those three newly introduced skills made Li Qingyu want to complain.

The first skill is companionship. Li Qingyu has always been the one having others clean up his messes. Could it be that he'll have to clean up his daughters' messes from now on? What a pathetic skill, best left unmentioned.

As for the second skill, "Caring," it seems pretty good; at least it can strip away one ability that boosts oneself. As long as Li Qingyu can be ruthless enough, the improvement in strength will definitely be substantial.

The prerequisite is having the ruthlessness to do it...

As for empowering his children... Li Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Um....

Princess Kiki is indeed too weak. It would be better to give her some abilities that are useless to me so she can have some fun.

Oh, and there's also Lilith, the second child!

Although Li Qingyu didn't have deep feelings for this second child, one could even say he had none, it was still because of the "gift package" from the second child that Crimson was able to advance to SSS rank.

It is only natural that, regardless of whether the second child is needed or not, Li Qingyu should give the second child something in return, otherwise Li Qingyu will always feel that he owes something.

Of course, we'll talk about that later. After all, Li Qingyu still needs to consider what abilities to grant.

As for the final ultimate skill... Li Qingyu was helpless...

Just look at the name of this ultimate skill... Sacrifice!

Li Qingyu could pretty much guess the skill's effect. If nothing unexpected happened, this skill could basically be ignored.

Overall, the evolution of the broken shoe to SSS level this time can only be described as so-so.

While his skills weren't particularly good or bad, Li Qingyu still felt there was a gap compared to a thousand evolution points.

After all... that's a thousand evolution points!

Just by focusing on evolving SS-grade items, you could probably evolve a dozen or even twenty different items.

By comparing them in this way, we can see that...

The cost-effectiveness of SSS-level equipment is simply too low!

However, since it's the first SSS-grade item, there's no need to worry about whether it's a good deal or not; its experimental nature outweighs its practical use.

Now that he'd tested the effects of the SSS-grade equipment and had a clear understanding of its capabilities, Li Qingyu wasn't planning on evolving other SSS-grade equipment for the time being. He'd first convert the magic cores from the Special Security Building into evolution points before considering anything else.

With that thought in mind, Li Qingyu stopped dawdling and glanced once more at the colorful Jinghai City and the vibrant, uniformly dancing aunties downstairs.

That's right...including my own mother...

Li Qingyu resolutely turned around and went back into the bedroom.

There's no other way... I have to bring both daughters along...

It's not for any other reason than that the two daughters are now contestants of the Magic Pet Civilization and are qualified to bring their magical pets into the Civilization Competition arena.

Although Li Qingyu didn't have any extra magical pets, he was certain that the Te'an Building had some! And even if the Te'an Building didn't have any, Da Vinci certainly did...

Besides, if all else fails, isn't Colonel Chu's flower still sitting there idly?

And then there's Mimi, the big orange cat. If Yueyue hadn't been resurrected, Mimi would probably be idle too.

Forget it, let's think about these things after we get to the Special Security Building.

So, without stopping, Li Qingyu rushed straight toward his two daughters lying on the ideal bed.

...

Second Universe.

A stellar-level civilization competition, planetary preparations for space.

A colossal, blazing star is silently suspended in the center of the planet's war preparation space.

Around the supermassive star, countless colorful planets or continents of varying sizes also float quietly.

Everything... seemed so beautiful and radiant...

oh....

Of course, there is also a man bound by planetary shackles, caught between the planets...

at the same time.

At the edge of the planet's war preparation space, there is a vast landmass shrouded in deep purple light, suspended in the void of space.

A brutal massacre is unfolding quietly.
