Chapter 20
Qiao Ye's nails were very long. He accidentally broke one at home, and it broke off, causing it to bleed.
Previously, when they lived in the villa in Lixi Lizhou, Ling Yu would regularly trim his nails.
That evening, Qiao showed her injured fingernail to Ji Fang. Ji Fang examined it for a moment, then took out nail clippers to trim it for Qiao.
Ji Fang had never trimmed Yuan Ren's nails before. Looking at Yuan Ren's small, chubby hands, he was a little worried about cutting him when he tried to do it.
Sure enough, Ji cut Qiao Ye's finger with a single stroke. Qiao Ye instantly felt a sharp pain in her fingertip as red blood oozed out, flowing down her finger to her wrist and dripping onto the ground.
Ji Fang quickly found some gauze, wrapped it up, and stopped the bleeding.
Late at night, Ji Fang started seeking help online: Yuan Ren bled while cutting his nails, what should he do?
"The original poster's pet is so well-behaved, even cutting your nails. My pet won't let you near it when it sees you with nail clippers."
"Haha, did the poster get scratched in the face by a primitive? Primals' fingers have very sensitive nerves, and it hurts a lot if they cut and bleed."
"OP, you should disinfect it first. If it gets infected, the original person's nails will be ruined."
"Last time I trimmed Yuanren's nails, I hurt it and it bit my hand. Now I only dare to trim them when it's sound asleep."
...
Many netizens recounted their harrowing experiences as herders. Ji Fang looked through them, disinfected the wound according to the netizens' instructions, and then bandaged it with a clean gauze.
Ji Fang noticed that the original human didn't resist at all, even when he hurt it or made it feel pain, it didn't hold a grudge, which was different from the original humans kept by many netizens.
This means that the original human trusted its master completely and was not worried at all about its master harming it.
Ji Fang even joined a group for original human pets so that he could ask questions directly in the future.
There were too many messages in the group at once, so Ji Fang was about to set it to Do Not Disturb mode when he glanced at the content of the group discussion and saw a pet news article.
Everyone was discussing a case of a master abusing and killing a primitive human. A man was extremely cruel and wanted to kill the primitive human he had raised for more than ten years to eat. The first time, he failed to kill it and the primitive human escaped. The master called the primitive human's name and asked it to come back. Because the primitive human was very loyal and trusted its master, it thought that its master would not harm it, so it turned back, only to be killed.
"They're inhuman! They can even lay a hand on a primitive human they've raised for ten years. Do they think eating their flesh will grant them immortality?"
"He ate something that rotten heart and lungs—no, this person doesn't have a heart or lungs at all!"
"This primitive human is so pitiful. You know, primitive humans are very heartless. Many primitive humans don't care whether their master lives or dies. As long as they are given food, they will be docile to people!"
"If my original people trusted me this much, I'd be laughing in my sleep for the rest of my life."
Ji Fang glanced at it and then turned it off.
He glanced at the original human studying his fingers and recalled the original human's panic at the hot pot restaurant. It must have known that he had saved it, which was why it recognized him as its master!
Ji Fang knew that animals rarely got close to him; even the primitive human in Wei Liangguan kept its distance from him every time they saw him.
Therefore, Ling Mu may really have come to repay the life-saving grace.
His family members are so well-behaved, why not spoil them a little more?
Qiao also came over at this moment, holding up his fingers to avoid touching the wound. He tapped the terminal on Ji Fang's wrist to express his desire to watch the video.
Ji Fang patted its head, shared his personal terminal with it, and started playing the children's channel.
It's really not good to lock a primitive human in a house alone. It can't do anything, and anyone who raises primitive humans knows that keeping it locked up for a long time can cause psychological problems.
Seeing Ling Mu sitting next to him, engrossed in the video, and thinking that he rarely had the chance to spend time with him, he wondered if he should install a personal terminal for him.
Ji Fang didn't know if this plan could be implemented, since no one would install a personal terminal on their pet.
Whether or not it should be installed is not a consideration; Ji Fang only considers whether it is feasible.
Ji ordered the latest version of a personal terminal online, intending to give it a try.
If the installation is successful, it will be much more convenient in the future, and even if Ling Mu gets lost, he can be found.
Lingmu is so smart that it can understand the words of the Cohen people. As long as it is taught a few more times and forms a memory, it will definitely be able to use it easily.
Less than an hour later, the courier delivered the package, and Ji Fang received a chip for his personal terminal.
Personal terminals are usually installed on the left hand. Since Qiao Ye's left hand fingers were injured, Ji Fang carefully placed his hand in his palm and said, "It won't touch your wound."
Ji Fang pressed the chip onto Qiao Ye's wrist for a while. As his body heat permeated the terminal, the chip became transparent and eventually melted into Qiao Ye's skin, successfully being installed.
Qiao also held up his left hand, feeling a slight strange sensation under the skin. He didn't know what it was and looked at Ji Fang questioningly.
Ji Fang understood its confusion and said, "You'll find out soon enough."
After saying that, Ji Fang connected to Qiao Ye's personal terminal and used his mental power to slowly activate it.
If it's a Cohen, they can immediately connect to the terminal using their mental power and then use it, but natives generally don't have mental power.
Ji Fang tried to activate the terminal on Qiao Ye's wrist with his own terminal, and attempted to capture the original person's spiritual power through the terminal.
The Cohens and the Primals are essentially very similar, after all, the Cohens evolved from the Primals. If the Primals had mental power, then the way they used it should be pretty much the same.
Joe felt a sudden jolt in his brain, as if he were being stimulated by an electric current. It was as if there was some energy in his body connected to something on his wrist, or as if he could stab lightning and let the sky wield his electric whip at will.
Ji Fang successfully activated the traction. As expected, Ling Mu possessed something similar to mental energy, which he had never developed before. Although it was very weak, it was still enough to control the terminal. With diligent training, the mental energy might gradually solidify.
Qiao didn't know what Ji Fang had put in his account, but now he saw an interface that was the same as the web that Ji Fang had shown him!
So, his owner equipped him with something like a cell phone or computer from this world? He can now access the internet in this world?
Joe was also a little excited. He tried to suppress his excitement and showed his curiosity, just like a normal, bewildered pet.
Ji Fang began to teach the little Yuanren in his arms how to turn on the children's channel.
Qiao also felt the flow of energy in his body. Under Ji Fang's guidance, he tried to control it, like a child just learning to walk, and eventually reached the level where he could slowly crawl.
Ji Fang didn't expect that Ling Mu would learn how to control it after just one demonstration. If you ignored the fact that it was a primitive human, it was no different from an ordinary three-year-old child controlling a terminal.
Joe was very excited. He had no interest in watching the video. He wanted to explore all the functions of the terminal and surf the StarNet of this world freely.
He controlled the energy in his body, which he was not yet proficient in using, poking here and wandering there, while wondering if this terminal was open to Ji Fang and whether Ji Fang could see all his traces on the Internet.
Ji Fang installed the terminal on Qiao Ye so that he could know Qiao Ye's status at all times, and also so that Qiao Ye wouldn't be bored at home alone. Naturally, the terminal was also meant to control Qiao Ye.
Ji Fang installed two StarNet apps for Qiao Ye: one was "Polaris" for watching videos, and the other was "Cohen Children" which was linked to Qiao Ye's device.
When binding the "Cohen Children" APP, Ji Fang set a six-digit password right under Qiao Ye's nose. Qiao Ye's heart skipped a beat. This six-digit password was the same as the door password, 840827. What could these six numbers mean? Could it be his birthday?
Joe glanced at the current date: September 13, 2535. Could this 84 mean he was born in 2484? If so, his owner would be 51 years old.
Is it possible that the owner of the Cohen man is 51 years old? He looks only about 26 years old, and there is no way he could be over 30.
So, what is the lifespan of the Cohen people? For Earthlings, living to over 80 years old is considered a long life, but how long the original humans in this world lived is unknown.
If the owner lives a long life, then the problem of being cared for in old age and seeing the owner off in death will not be a problem. I once saw a news report about an old man who kept a goose as a pet. The goose could live to be over 50 years old and was able to see the old man off.
If he gets old and his master dies before him, he'll have to wander around in his old age. How miserable!
Qiao Ye's divergent thinking was brought back by Ji Fang opening the camera function on the terminal, and his attention was drawn to it.
Ji Fang immediately took a holographic picture of his face and set it up. Qiao was also curious and seized the opportunity to control the terminal. He poked it, and a holographic picture of his selfie appeared in front of him, as if a clone of him was standing in front of him.
Joe felt this was a bit too exaggerated; the photography technology in this world was too advanced! Joe could even feel the texture of his own hair in the photos.
Ji Fang noticed that Qiao also looked stunned when it saw its own photo. A smile appeared on his lips as he touched its cheek and said, "This is yourself. Don't you recognize me?"
After playing for a while, Qiao casually poked around and figured out how to take pictures. He deliberately turned on the holographic camera function, snuggled in his owner's arms, and took a picture of the two of them in a harmonious pose.
Perhaps because Qiao's photo wasn't good, Ji Fang personally adjusted the angle and took a slightly more serious and formal picture.
The owner in the photo has a sharp and imposing aura, but the person he's holding softens that aura, making Ji Fang seem a little more approachable, though only slightly.
Each terminal has a unique code. By connecting the codes, calls can be made in a 5D-like environment. Ji Fang and Qiao Ye exchanged codes, and Ji Fang taught Qiao Ye how to receive his communications.
Qiao only needed to learn it once to master it, which made Ji Fang's teaching much easier.
After teaching Qiao how to open the video and click on the children's channel, Ji Fang let go of the control and let him operate it himself.
Joe looked at the "Cohen Kids" app on the interface. He didn't know the extent to which the software could monitor him, so he didn't dare to make any rash moves for the time being.
He controlled the energy and slowly explored some of the functions his master had just taught him: the camera function, the call function, and the video viewing function.
Just being able to control it was a huge struggle for Joe, as if his spirit had been completely drained.
Before long, Qiao also felt tired and fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.
