“Haha…”
Curled up on the sofa, watching the TV program in front of her, Yuuki Mikan sighed softly.
"When will my brother come back..."
While muttering to herself, Meigan looked at the wall clock. Although her favorite cartoon was playing on TV, she was in no mood to watch it.
Meigan knew that her brother often went out to work, sometimes to some faraway places. Although she didn't know what kind of work her brother did, Meigan could guess that it was definitely not a dangerous job.
Therefore, Meigan has always been very obedient and sensible. After all, in her opinion, her brother is already hard enough to maintain the family's finances, and she cannot be willful. However, she is just an elementary school student, and being able to take care of herself is the greatest effort for Meigan.
But I still hope to spend this rare holiday with my brother...
Thinking of this, Meigan sighed again and lowered her head.
“Crack.”
At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound of unlocking the door. Hearing this sound, Meigan's eyes suddenly lit up and she hurried to the entrance.
"Brother, are you back?"
"Hey, Mikan."
When he opened the door, it was Fang Zheng who walked in. Looking at his sister who came to greet him, he raised his right hand with a smile and greeted Meigan.
"Brother, you're okay...what happened to your left hand?!"
Seeing Fang Zheng, Meigan smiled immediately, but when she noticed Fang Zheng's bandaged left hand, her expression suddenly changed. She hurried to Fang Zheng's side, looking at his left hand anxiously.
"Brother, are you hurt?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Fang Zheng obviously didn't intend to dwell on this topic, so he just casually said it and then waved his hand again.
"By the way, I brought you a surprise...Come out, Eve."
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Meigan was stunned for a moment, and then she saw a girl wearing a black dress, with long golden hair, who looked about the same age as herself, walked out from behind Fang Zheng and greeted her lightly.
"……Hello."
"This is my sister, Mikan."
Fang Zheng smiled and patted the blonde girl on the head, then introduced her.
"She is a very obedient and sensible child. I think you two will get along well."
Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at Meigan again.
"Megan, this is Eve. She will be living with us from today."
"Hey? Hey?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's introduction, Meigan was still confused. She looked at the blonde girl in front of her in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment. The blonde girl also stared at her silently without saying a word.
"Okay, anyway, the work is over, and I can take a good rest... Meigan, let's go out to eat something delicious at noon today. By the way, Eve, come with me, I will arrange a room for you..."
Although he injured his left hand in the accident, Fang Zheng was still in a good mood. After all, he received a reward of 50 million after handing over Rudman - that was 50 million euros, enough for him to live a luxurious life for the rest of his life.
Of course, this amount of money is not enough if I want to continue working.
Fortunately, Fang Zheng is not engaged in scientific research, otherwise, let alone 500 million euros, even 500 billion would not be enough for him to spend.
By the way, on the way back, Fang Zheng had learned from Eve the truth about the so-called "strongest man-made biological weapon". Just as the fat pig said, Eve was a created android. But she was not an ordinary android. Her body was filled with countless nanomachines. It could even be said that Eve herself was made up of nanomachines.
Because of this characteristic, she can not only change the material of her body at will, but can even change the structure of her body and turn it into various things. For example, what Eve can do now is to transform her hand into a big knife and kill the enemy. Or she can transform her body into iron or a stronger material to resist the attack of bullets.
After hearing Eve's description, Fang Zheng immediately thought of the nano module group left by Mine Riko and the Goddess of Order... Well, the nano bee group that sank to the bottom of the sea in the main world had no brain and could only act on instinct. After being frozen by Yoshino, it was sealed in space by the Ishimura. Eve's situation was more like a collection of nano bee groups with brains.
Well, this is another setting that the broken generator randomly cut and fused together from his own experiences.
Although Eve's abilities are somewhat similar to Mine Riko's, there are still differences. In fact, strictly speaking, Eve is more of a hybrid of human and machine than a man-made person. Moreover, her transformation ability is also very limited. She cannot transform into someone else like Mine Riko, and even her DNA can be transformed to be exactly the same.
If we use Academy City's ability strength levels to differentiate, then Eve's current ability should be between Lv3 and Lv4.
And if Mine Riko can perfectly simulate the abilities of other people with special abilities, then she will definitely be Level 5.
Fang Zheng didn't care too much about the injury on his hand, as it was just a minor injury anyway. Meigan was very worried, and was always running around wanting to help. However, this was not a cold or fever after all, and apart from changing the dressing... strictly speaking, there was nothing special that needed help.
So on Monday, although Meigan wanted to take a leave, Fang Zheng still forced her to go to class. Instead, he took a few days off - not to recover from his injuries, but to take Eve out for a walk. After all, Fang Zheng had heard that Eve had been locked up in the house since she was created and had never gone out. It could be said that her understanding of the outside world was almost the same as that of a baby.
Under such circumstances, Fang Zheng certainly couldn't let her stay at home alone, so he simply took two days of sick leave and took Eve out for a walk.
Eve was indeed full of curiosity about this world. No matter where Fang Zheng took her, she would always look around with great interest. For Eve, whether it was a shopping street full of life, a department store, or a place like a shrine, they were all very interesting to her.
After taking Eve to familiarize herself with the situation here, Fang Zheng quickly made his next decision.
"go to school?"
While eating the Taiyaki in her hand, Eve tilted her head in confusion and looked at Fang Zheng, who nodded.
"That's right. Children of your age usually stay in school. Although I know you are very smart, school is not just a place to learn knowledge. More importantly, it is a place to meet more people and make friends..."
Fang Zheng had no doubts about Eve's intelligence. In the past few days, Eve had shown other powers besides her transformation, one of which was her photographic memory. In fact, it was precisely because of this ability that Eve would go to the library to read books every day. According to Eve, books in the library could be borrowed for free, and she also had the ability of photographic memory, which meant that as long as she finished reading all the books in the library, it would be like moving the entire library into her mind...
Well, this is really a profitable deal.
But for Fang Zheng, the library is certainly not everything in life.
“…Is it really possible?”
"It's no problem, Eve!"
Hearing Eve's anxious question, Meigan smiled and comforted her.
"I will also be there to help you, and everyone in our school is a good kid! No one will bully you! And I won't let anyone bully you!"
After a few days of getting along, Meigan and Eve's relationship has improved a lot, or rather, Meigan likes Eve very much, but Eve is a little uncomfortable with Meigan's enthusiasm. This is no wonder, after all, this is the first time she has encountered such enthusiasm from others since she was "born", and it is inevitable that she is a little overwhelmed - but this is also part of growing up.
Fang Zheng did not explain Eve's life experience in detail to Meigan. He just told Meigan that she was a child he met when he was "working" outside this time. She had been locked up at home by evil people and had never been out since she was a child. She knew nothing about the outside world. Meigan was a child who liked to take care of others, so she was full of sympathy when she heard this and was naturally very enthusiastic about Eve.
In this way, Fang Zheng quickly completed the transfer procedures for Eve, and then early the next morning, Eve went to school with Meigan. Fang Zheng was relieved and returned to his own life.
"Good morning, Yuuki-kun."
When Fang Zheng came to the classroom, he met Xilianji Haruna again. Seeing Fang Zheng, she hurriedly greeted him.
"Are you okay? I heard you asked for leave before. Could it be that you were sick...what happened to your hand?"
"Oh, this is just a minor injury."
Fang Zheng raised his left hand and waved it towards Xirenji Haruna.
"I didn't come to school the past two days because I had to recover from an injury, so I asked for leave."
"Injured? Are you okay? How did you get hurt?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Xilianji Haruna seemed quite uneasy and nervous. She hurried to Fang Zheng and stared at his bandaged left hand.
"It's okay, it will be fine after a while."
Fang Zheng obviously didn't intend to continue on this topic, so he quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, I've already decided which high school I want to go to."
"Eh? Really? Which high school are you planning to go to, Yuuki-kun?"
"Chainan High School."
Facing Xilian Temple Haruna's question, Fang Zheng gave a decisive answer. Cainan High School is an ordinary public school nearby. Compared with other schools, this school is nothing special. The only advantage is that because Cainan High School has always been a coeducational school, the ratio of boys to girls is better than other schools.
At least it won't be full of women as soon as you enter...that would be really annoying.
"Why?"
On the contrary, Haruna Sairenji seemed quite surprised by Fang Zheng's answer.
"Yuuki-kun, are you going to Sainan?"
"What's wrong? You look surprised?"
"Because... because Yuuki-kun has always been the top student in the school and has excellent grades, I thought Yuuki-kun would definitely go to a prestigious school like Kokusei Ikuei or Shuchiin..."
"I've said this before, it doesn't matter. Gold will shine wherever it goes. There's no need to hang yourself on one tree. Besides, a famous school isn't necessarily good."
Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly and sighed. Not to mention that the famous schools around here are basically all girls' schools or will be boys' schools next year. He is fed up with it. In comparison, ordinary schools are better.
After all, if a guy as handsome as me went to a girls' school, he would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Of course, if Fang Zheng was not a student but a teacher, then going to a girls' school would be very interesting. If you think about it carefully, wouldn't it be great for those innocent girls who are waiting to be married to be taught by you as a teacher "after-school tutoring for adults"?
But unfortunately, it is more troublesome for students to do it, and there is no such forbidden happiness and excitement.
"By the way, which high school are you planning to go to, Xilian Temple?"
"I… haven't decided yet."
Sure enough, Xilianji Haruna was quickly led astray by Fang Zheng and shook her head in frustration.
"My family suggested that I apply for Yingling or Yingcai, but I am very hesitant..."
"Take your time to think about it. Anyway, there is still some time before graduation. And with your grades, Xilianji, it should be fine no matter which school you go to."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng nodded to Xirenji Haruna, then sat back in his seat. At this moment, other students also came to the classroom and greeted Fang Zheng. Xirenji Haruna glanced at Fang Zheng, then looked away and sat back in her seat. Then she lowered her head and looked at the exercise book at hand.
"Chainan...?"
It seems that this is also an option.
