Chapter 8 Chapter 8 The Hominid Husbandry Manual
Mo Liang had an outstanding perception ability. He could sense the heartbeat, breathing and pulse of living beings several kilometers away. At that time, he was concentrating on listening to a certain beating sound.
Curious about the system, he was too lazy to explain to a line of code that the reason he was standing here was not for any mission, but just because he wanted to.
Just like he collected saliva not to complete a so-called task, but simply to understand his child better and to remember his child's smell.
The saliva of primitive humans contains a lot of genetic and physiological information, including genomic DNA, hormones, enzymes, inflammatory markers, etc.
Genes determine the type and function of taste receptors, and their preferences are clearly written in them. Physiological traits can also determine a person's talents and which organs are more susceptible to disease and require more focused testing...
This kind of thing needs to be kept strictly confidential there and will never be leaked easily, but the primitive humans here have no awareness of hiding information at all.
His saliva was like a thick book, which contained all the information about Li Zhuo. It was many times more accurate than the pitiful and incomplete character picture provided by the system.
【What is the level of favorability 30? 】
[After checking, he found that you are a very gentle elder who treats him well.] The system added, [This is a very good start!]
What is the main quest?
[The first one is to change the target's original outcome; the second one is to make the target happy; the third one is to make the target feel happy from the bottom of their heart.]
"That's great. We have the same goal."
[By the way, were you listening when I was explaining the plot? He was abducted as a child, found at fifteen, transferred to another school at seventeen, and died of depression the day after his eighteenth birthday...]
[This is the most critical time in his life. In the plot, he is severely depressed during this period. Because of this, he easily loses his mind at the slightest stimulation...]
[Host, you have made a very good start...]
The brief exchange did not occupy Mo Liang's attention much. He was multitasking, talking to the system, listening to the heartbeat, and quickly browsing the strategy books downloaded from the system.
Before activating the system, his only reference material was the "Handbook of Primitive Human Husbandry". After having the guidance system, he had more comprehensive reference materials.
These books were very useful. He learned from them that primitive humans were very fragile creatures and that as a qualified caregiver, they needed to follow many rules.
It is necessary to provide rich, diverse and nutritionally balanced food, and pay attention to the freshness and hygiene of the food to avoid physical discomfort of primitive humans due to food problems.
Pay attention to volume control during conversations. Primitive humans had relatively fragile hearing, so you need to use a decibel meter to constantly check the volume before speaking. Your tone should also be gentle, and a friendly expression will achieve better results.
In addition to language communication, emotional communication is also extremely important. Primitive humans would convey emotions through facial expressions, body language, and other means.
Caregivers not only need to pay attention to their own expressions at all times, but also need to understand the emotional state of humans by observing their eyes, expressions and body movements, and provide timely care and response.
When he shows low emotions, the caregiver needs to immediately use gentle words and soothing actions to make him feel safe.
…
…
In addition to the above, different human individuals have different living habits and tastes, which require long-term observation by caregivers. Bad habits should be stopped in time, and good habits should be praised in time.
…
While browsing the guide, Mo Liang would truthfully record his practical experience. By the time he finished reading "Feeding Precautions" and "Language Comprehension and Expression", most of the night in the small world had passed.
He used the system to record in detail all the data after Li Zhuo fell asleep that night in the task log.
This includes how many times Li Zhuo turned over, the changes in his breathing rate and heart rate at different time periods, and the talking in his sleep in between.
"There's still a lot of stuff I haven't read, but time is running out." Mo Liang muttered to himself expressionlessly, his voice very faint. "My child is about to wake up, I have to go prepare breakfast."
He hasn't had a good rest since he took on this task. He spent a lot of energy in the early stages of learning human language, and this is just the beginning. He still has a long way to go in learning how to make human food.
Being a qualified caregiver is not easy.
He also took a rough look at the guides that he had not had time to read. The earliest materials in the "Guide to Primitive Human Breeding" included "Language Comprehension and Expression", "Daily Companionship", etc.
What he was most interested in were the strategies in the system database: "Tips for Building Super Intimate Parent-Child Relationships" and "Guide to Cultivating Good Habits in Children".
Mo Liang made the decision.
Let's look at this next, right?

Mo, Teacher Mo…! ?
Changyang, located in the northern part of the country, was still slightly chilly at five in the morning. Li Zhuo had just come down from the dormitory building and noticed Mo Liang not far away.
I don't know how long he waited. He was holding the thermos in his hand, and his clothes were still the same as yesterday. The smile he smiled at him was almost the same warmness.
The location was downstairs of the student dormitory, and it was the morning rush hour. Facing the curious gazes of many classmates, Li Zhuo quickly walked up to Mo Liang.
"Why are you here so early?"
As soon as he said this, Li Zhuo felt that it sounded too much like calling for an explanation, so he quickly added.
"Teacher Mo, that's not what I meant. I meant there's no need to come so early..."
Mo Liang didn't care about Li Zhuo's slip of the tongue at all. He still smiled and shook the thermos in his hand.
"Are you hungry?"
Breakfast time is the shortest of the three meals. From the moment the wake-up bell rings, students have only 30 minutes to get up, get dressed, brush their teeth and wash their faces, queue up in the cafeteria to buy breakfast, eat breakfast, and then return to the classroom from the cafeteria.
Most of the time is not spent on eating, but on trying to squeeze through the crowds to get to the card machine and successfully tap on it.
After skipping this step, Li Zhuo no longer had to rush to eat breakfast. While chewing the vegetable pancake in his mouth slowly, he glanced at the other breakfast items.
A serving of fresh and tender egg custard.
A box of freshly sliced apples.
A bottle of fresh milk.
From the perspective of nutritional ingredients, this breakfast is quite balanced. The main ingredients of the vegetable pancake are carbohydrates and dietary fiber, the egg custard is rich in protein, the apple is rich in vitamins, and fresh milk provides calcium. It has everything.
Of course, Li Zhuo didn’t realize at first glance how rigorous the nutritional combination behind this breakfast was. He simply felt Teacher Mo’s intentions.
So while still eating breakfast, he couldn't wait to discuss the meal money with Mo Liang, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
He thought about Teacher Mo's possible reaction. He estimated that he would refuse, and might say that this was what a teacher should do, just like before. He had already thought of an excuse for this.
But he really didn't expect that after he asked for the food expenses, Mo Liang would simply ignore his words.
As if he hadn't heard anything, he asked him persistently: "Is it delicious? How does it taste? If it doesn't suit your taste, be sure to tell the teacher."
"It's delicious. It tastes great." Li Zhuo repeated, "But I think I have to pay for the food. I plan to..."
"Eat quickly, there are only twelve minutes left." Mo Liang reminded him with a smile, "Is it true that you should arrive in the classroom before the bell rings for morning reading?"
“…”
Just like that, Li Zhuo's first proposal to pay for food expenses came to nothing.
He finished his breakfast under Teacher Mo's watchful eye, but this time when the other party wanted to send him off, he clearly refused to go with him.
Teacher Mo was surprised for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, agreed to what he said, and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Li Zhuo thought he had heard wrongly.
It's just a few steps away, why should I be careful?
Before I could figure out the answer to this question, the English teacher had already walked into the classroom with a textbook in hand. It seemed that today's morning reading was about memorizing words.
This is Li Zhuo's weak point. He has to be extremely focused and try hard to remember the order, pronunciation and multiple meanings of each letter.
Therefore, he didn't notice how many times the English teacher looked at his position in that class, and how many times he walked past him in the aisle more frequently than usual.
He was so focused on memorizing words that he didn't even notice when his deskmate secretly slipped a small note to Li Zhuo. He was memorizing the positive, comparative, and superlative forms of different adjectives, as well as their special structures and variations.
"This kid..."
Although Deng Yuliang's grades are not bad and he is above average in the class, he really can't learn Li Zhuo's enthusiasm. How can someone be so obsessed with studying? Isn't this crazy?
Deng Yuliang leaned in with sincere admiration.

On the other side, Mo Liang was looking through the guide. He quickly locked onto a set of rules from the densely packed documents, then found a page and carefully added a supplementary note with a fresh date behind a certain line.
[121: Primitive humans are extremely vulnerable in their infancy, lacking any ability to defend themselves. They are easily attacked and often preyed upon, stolen from, or sold by other adults. Never allow them to travel alone. If necessary, they must be accompanied by a caregiver.]
[…]
[121.5: If the infant refuses to accompany the caregiver and requests to travel alone to the destination, the caregiver may choose different responses based on the situation...]
[…]
121.5.3: If the child is resolute and the following additional conditions are met: the child shows clear resistance and the child's destination is absolutely safe, the caregiver may offer the child an ancient blessing: "Be careful on your journey." Manual Appendix 1: "Quick Guide to Blessings."
[Updated on May 3, 2012: My youngsters didn't show the expected joy after hearing this. Analysis revealed shock and confusion. I suspect this greeting is outdated. Please update it as soon as possible!]
