Chapter 100: Gunpowder
"Tsk, is that your cousin? He's really domineering."
When Wen Ye saw that Huo Yin had scared away all the other kids, he looked at him with new respect.
As a beastman, he was more sensitive to the aura of beasts than to alien species, and he also sensed the oppressive aura emanating from Huo Yin.
Mammalians are naturally dominated by stronger species, and size and species determine their status in the ecosystem. Even though they are less affected by this now, the fear of stronger species is ingrained in their genes.
The beasts that have not yet reached adulthood are not yet able to properly control this fear and suppression.
Ji Yu said, "I think I should learn from him."
Wen Ye withdrew his gaze and said in a cold tone, "You can try."
Ji Yu's lips curled into a smile, and he narrowed his eyes. "I'm willing to give it a try."
Karina sensed the tension between the two and finally shifted her gaze from Anno to the boys standing on either side of her.
She glanced at them, and they looked as if they hadn't noticed anything, and the tension dissipated.
Karina looked at them suspiciously, feeling that the two of them together looked like they were about to fight at any moment.
What are you holding?
Anno noticed that Huo Yin was holding something that looked like a board.
"Skateboarding, I just learned."
Huo Yin put the skateboard on the ground and tapped the light brain in his hand a few times. The skateboard, which was the size of a book, expanded and became larger, large enough for two people to stand on.
A control panel appeared in front of Huo Yin. He grabbed the control panel, moved his fingers, and controlled the skateboard to levitate and fly around Anno once.
The skateboard is a beautiful silver color, reflecting shimmering light under the sun.
Huo Yin stood on the skateboard and reached out his hand to Anuo.
Everything in this world is new and exciting to Anno now. She took Huo Yin's hand and stepped onto the skateboard.
She was only wearing a leash, and Huo Yin wanted to help her untie it, but he pulled his hand back as soon as he put it on her waist and used his arm around Anuo's waist to control the skateboard to Karina's side.
Karina bent down to help Anno untie her clothes and said to Huo Yin, "So you still know to come find me."
If he were to recklessly untie Xiao Qi's harness and run away with her, then she would have to restrict Huo Yin from visiting Xiao Qi in the future.
They're so young and already know how to abduct Xiao Qi; what will they be like when they're older?
At their age, they must ask their guardians' opinions before doing anything.
"Slow down, don't go too far," Karina said.
Wen Ye was slightly surprised. "You trust this kid?"
Karina activated the protective device on Anno's hand to prevent any accidents. With this device, she would be fine even if she fell from a great height or into the sea.
“Xiao Qi trusts him,” she said.
Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang wildly in Wen Ye's mind. It seemed that this little dragon-gene cub was very familiar with Xiao Qi, so familiar that he could hold her hand and hug her without resistance.
In that case, wouldn't Ji Yu, this peacock, be able to get close to Karina through Huo Yin?
No, he had to think of a way to prevent that peacock from getting there first!
Once the tether straps were released, Huo Yin controlled the skateboard to take off, carrying Anno along the coastline.
Ji Yu exclaimed in surprise, "This little one is much braver than the other cubs; he's not afraid at all."
Karina's eyes followed the small figure, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"She's not afraid."
She knew that Xiaoqi was braver and stronger than they imagined.
After being carried by Huo Yin for a while, Anuo became somewhat dissatisfied with his speed, "Huo Yin, fly faster."
He controlled it very well, afraid that Anno would be scared, so he kept the speed slow and steady.
Hearing her say that he needed to go faster, he sped up a bit.
"Not enough, it needs to be faster."
She had driven all sorts of vehicles in the past—flying vehicles, running vehicles, and swimming vehicles—and had encountered many dangerous moments, always speeding and racing like crazy. So, she naturally felt that this speed was too slow.
"Then I'll speed up."
Huo Yin hugged her tighter and began to speed up.
These skateboards can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h and are one of the most popular modes of transportation among young people today.
Since Huo Yin can't fly a plane now, he bought the best-powered flying skateboard. Whenever he wants to visit Anuo, he can ride the skateboard to her.
As Karina and the other two watched the two little ones disappear from sight, they all became somewhat worried.
Seeing the worry in Karina's eyes, Ji Yu dialed Huo Yin's personal terminal. "That little brat Huo Yin, if he drives so fast and crashes the baby, his image in Karina's mind will drop drastically."
Huo Yin saw the pop-up contact icon and immediately hung up.
Anno looked up at him. "Teach me how to play."
"good."
Huo Yin parked the flying skateboard in a relatively quiet open space, took Anuo's hand with the personal computer in his own, and shared the control system of the flying skateboard with her personal computer. This way, she could also control the skateboard, but the main control was still in his hands.
"This is the start switch, and this is the manual speed control panel. Once you have mastered the balance of the skateboard, you only need to adjust the speed setting, and the speed will be controlled by your body."
Huo Yin adjusted the speed to the lowest beginner level, then lifted the skateboard 20 centimeters off the ground, and with both hands under Anuo's armpits, lifted her onto the skateboard and made sure she was standing.
He took Anuo's hand and taught her how to control it.
Anno learned very quickly; she already knew how to drive various vehicles and knew how to maintain balance.
In just over ten minutes, she was able to control the skateboard to glide in the air by herself. The control panel was not difficult; it only had a few control buttons.
She wanted to speed up, but Huo Yin had control, and he wouldn't let her drive that fast by herself.
After playing on the flying skateboard for about an hour, Anno's excitement gradually subsided. She had exceeded her usual lunch break time and was now feeling sleepy and wanted to go to bed.
She is now raised by Tang Ting and Luo Jin with a very regular schedule, and her cub-like body cannot maintain its energy for long.
Anno didn't want to go back indoors to sleep. The sunshine outside was too nice, and the view from the beach was wide and the scenery was beautiful. So Karina found her a beach umbrella and put her on a chair to sleep.
The chair was spacious, and there was still plenty of room when Anuo sat down. Seeing that Huo Yin was going to sit next to her feet, she moved to the side, and Huo Yin immediately got up and sat down with her in the chair.
Ji Yu and Wen Ye raised their eyebrows in unison. This kid!
Anno had a lot of fun today and used up a lot of energy. She lay down on the chair and fell into a deep sleep after a while.
Huo Yin turned to look at An Nuo's face, held her hand, and closed his eyes in peace.
Karina saw that the two children were asleep, took a blanket from her backpack and covered them with it, then lay down on the chair next to her, enjoying the peace and quiet of the moment.
As soon as Huo Yin fell asleep, Caesar opened his eyes in another distant insectoid galaxy.
"Huo Yin, how could you fall asleep!"
Caesar looked up at the ceiling and sighed.
