Just as Fang Zheng thought, after returning to the hotel, Ling locked herself in the room and became autistic.

There was nothing the others could do about it. After listening to Fang Zheng's explanation, the girls were speechless... But no matter how you tried to persuade them, it seemed wrong.

In the end, Fang Zheng asked her to calm down first before talking.

In addition to Ling, Fang Zheng also had to deal with Tio's troubles. He contacted Tio's parents in the name of Starlight Technology, saying that Tio would be taken care of by Starlight Technology. Tio's parents did not ask Tio to come back to them, but just sent Tio a letter - but Tio took the letter and put it away without even reading it.

One or two family problems are quite troublesome.

Looking at the back of Tio who quietly returned to her room, Fang Zheng sighed speechlessly. At the same time, Enaya's voice also sounded beside Fang Zheng.

"It's a headache, isn't it?"

"If you know what's bothering you, then I'll help you... Although I can't really help you with this kind of thing unless you figure it out yourself."

Having said that, Fang Zheng shrugged speechlessly.

"But if it doesn't work, I have a solution."

"Want to go out for a walk again?"

"Yeah, this is actually a good idea, what do you think?"

That's right, Fang Zheng's ultimate secret is to go on a trip at any time, take the little girls to travel around the mountains and rivers, experience the humanities and customs, and see more of the outside world, and your mood will naturally be much better. Ryan Forte just happened to invite Fang Zheng, so Fang Zheng can also go over to see the situation and solve some business problems.

"Is everything okay? The Empire..."

"It's all right."

Facing Enaya's slightly uneasy question, Fang Zheng waved his hand. Now most people believe that the "Light Krypton Machine" was invented by Dr. Russell. Except for a few people such as Maddock Workshop Director, Dr. Russell himself, and Her Majesty the Queen, no one else knows that the core part of the Light Krypton Machine actually comes from Starlight Technology. Most people just regard Starlight Technology as a tertiary industry company under Chase Central Workshop...

As for Dr. Russell - well, considering his status in the Kingdom of Liberl, he couldn't go out casually.

This is why Fang Zheng would rather hide himself and let Dr. Russell show off. If he shows off, the consequence is that he will never be able to run around and play again. After all, scholars who can create light krypton machines must be talents that all countries are vying for. If Fang Zheng goes abroad, people will find a reason to detain him, which will be a lot of trouble.

So it's good for Founder to be a tertiary industry company like it is now, right? You can do whatever you want.

But before that, he still had something to prepare.

After the Orbital Technology Expo ended, Fang Zheng brought the little girls back to Chase, then he immediately came to the workshop and found Tida who was busy.

"Hey, little guy, how's it going?"

"Ah, Brother Fang Zheng!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, the greasy little Tita quickly raised her head and waved the wrench in her hand.

"You guys are back too."

"Well, you came back early... So this is what you've been busy with these days?"

"yes."

Tita nodded happily. She now went to Fang Zheng's house almost every other day. On the one hand, Tita had become friends with Ling and the others. On the other hand, in Fang Zheng's workshop, Tita could do whatever she wanted, and Fang Zheng would often give her some particularly interesting ideas and suggestions.

"How exactly?"

"It's almost done...any questions?"

"Well, it's like this, there's a little problem..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked over to sit next to Tita, then whispered to her about what happened in Belcross, including Ling's story and Tio's story.

After hearing this, Tita also showed a worried expression.

"So... Ling never plans to meet her parents again?"

"That's how it looks now. How should I put it... it's just bad luck. Of course, from the perspective of others, her parents didn't do anything wrong. After all, they thought Ling was dead. But... hey, it's still very depressing when you bring this up, isn't it?"

“…”

"What's wrong?"

"I remember my parents were often busy with work and rarely came home..."

"Ahem... well..."

Looking at the unhappy face of Tianda in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but cough dryly - no way, the two people over there who are unhappy with their parents are already troublesome enough, and you're still coming?

"whee!"

Seeing Fang Zheng's headache expression, Tita immediately smiled.

"I'm kidding, Brother Fangzheng. Although my parents are busy with work, they will come back to see me. Besides, I still have my grandfather and so many friends... I can still do what I like, which is enough for me. Oh, by the way, about that thing, it's basically finished now, but..."

"but?"

"But I just can't understand the transformation function you mentioned in your plan..."

"Oh, that was supposed to be done by me personally. How about this, you check it again. If there is no problem, we will set off in two days... and I hope you can come with us."

"Hey? Is this okay?"

"Of course, it's more lively with more people, and you seldom go out to play on weekdays. It's good to be passionate about inventions, but it's not healthy to stay at home all day. Wouldn't it be great to go out occasionally and see the mountains, rivers, and seas?"

Fang Zheng invited Tida for a reason. Among the girls around him, only Tida was a normal person with no psychological trauma. The others all had dark histories. Ling, Tio, Anjie, and Enaya were all in trouble. Even Alisha, who was summoned by him, was the same. According to her, because Silmeria was living in her body, many people thought she was mentally ill when she was a child. So her father imprisoned Alisha in an ancient castle and announced to the public that she had died of illness...

The negative energy of this group of people has exceeded the limit in a certain sense.

In Fang Zheng's opinion, the best way to help them untie their knots is to find a cheerful and lively peer to play with them. Tida is a good choice, and in fact, although Ling and others avoided Tida at the beginning, after Fang Zheng's connivance several times, Tida became good friends with Ling and others.

Actually, to Fang Zheng, that Estell was quite outgoing, but it was a pity that she lived too far away, otherwise it would be more convenient.

But now... this is not bad.

After that, Fang Zheng also informed Ling and Tio that he would take them on a trip, but to Fang Zheng's surprise...

"travel?!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ling's eyes suddenly lit up and she rushed over and grabbed Fang Zheng's hand.

"Where are we going on this trip, big brother?"

"Going to the Empire... uh, I feel like you seem to be in a good mood?"

"Hehe, because I know that as long as I act sad, big brother will definitely take me out for a trip! Although I am really sad that mom and dad have a younger brother, big brother, you underestimate me too much. I am not alone now. I still have big brother by my side, as well as Fei, Anjie, sister Enaya, and Tita... I am not lonely at all. Fufufu, big brother, you think I am too fragile."

“…”

You play me?

Looking at the smiling Ling, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. Tio looked at Fang Zheng and then at Ling in confusion.

"……travel?"

"Yes, this is the rule in our family."

After making sure that she had joined the "tour group", Ling turned around and explained to Tio with a smile on her face.

"When I'm in a bad mood, I go out and see the mountains and rivers, and the cultural landscapes. That feeling is quite comfortable."

"But I'm not in a bad mood..."

"If you're not in a bad mood, why are you so sullen all day? Don't worry, as long as your big brother takes you out to play once, you'll know that traveling is quite interesting. Going to unfamiliar places, seeing unfamiliar scenery, and talking to strangers is really a great feeling!"

"……All right."

Although Ling was very excited, Tio still seemed a little confused. In fact, Fang Zheng could see that Tio didn't seem to want to go out that much. She wanted to stay at home. But now that Fang Zheng said so, Tio had no choice but to nod and agree.

"But big brother, how are we going to get there? Take the train? Or the airship?"

After being with Fang Zheng for so long, Ling has already developed a bit of the demeanor of a "travel expert", and now she hurriedly started asking.

"Neither. Let's go there by car. You haven't tried it yet."

"drive?"

"That's right. Let's drive to the empire, then visit the hot spring resort there first, and then go to the imperial capital. How about that?"

"But...we don't have a car?"

"You can rest assured about that."

Facing Ling's puzzled question, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"Why do you think I haven't bought a guided car? In fact, before we went to Crossbell, Tita and I had already made our own guided car."

"real!"

"Of course, strictly speaking, that car was basically completed by Tida alone."

“Is that so? I didn’t expect Tita to be so powerful…”

Hearing this, Ling's expression was a little complicated. After all, Tita was about the same age as her, but now she had already started to build her own guided car?

"Everyone has their strengths. You're no worse than me, right?"

Fang Zheng patted Ling's little head.

"Okay, go prepare your gifts, we'll leave tomorrow."

"Where is that guided vehicle? I want to see it, too."

"Why not wait until tomorrow? Save the surprise until the last minute."

"……All right."

Although somewhat reluctant, Ling nodded, and then returned to her room with Tio to pack her luggage.

Soon, a night passed.

The next morning, Ling, Tita and Theo met at the gate of Fang Zheng's house.

"Tida, you should come with us!"

Ling dragged the suitcase and looked at Tita with a happy smile, and the latter nodded.

"Yes, after Brother Fang Zheng talked to Grandpa, Grandpa also told me to go out for a walk and see more, so that I can gain more experience."

As she spoke, Tita looked at Theo and stretched out her hand.

"Hello, you must be Theo, I heard from Brother Fang Zheng that my name is Tida, Tida Russell."

"Ah... um, hello, I'm Theo Prato."

Faced with Tida who stretched out her hand with a bright and lovely smile, Theo was a little uncomfortable, but still reached out and gently held Tida's small hand.

"By the way, where is Brother Fang Zheng? And he said he wanted to show us a new type of guided vehicle. I'm getting impatient."

“Dudu——!!”

Just as Ling was complaining, suddenly, a horn sounded in the distance, and when Tida heard the sound, she immediately laughed.

“Ah, here it comes!”

"Why?"

At this moment, Ling and Tio also turned their eyes to the place where the sound came from. Then, under the gaze of the girls, a dark shadow appeared from the end of the road.

When Ling saw the dark shadow, she was stunned.

"What, what, what is this!!!"
