Lu Yuan couldn't understand how difficult it was to help a family in this era. Moreover, Zhou Qi's family was not a small one. There was an unemployed man, a woman who was about to suffer from radiation-related illnesses, a growing daughter, and a baby boy. This family was definitely not simple. Even if Hei Zi himself contributed half of his salary, it would not be enough to support them, not to mention that Hei Zi's salary was not very high.
"I'm not crazy, I'm telling the truth! You don't know, seeing Xiaoyun just now made my heart ache. Even though I'm not married yet, this feeling is just awful!" Hei Zi said, lighting a cigarette with some frustration.
Lu Yuan sighed and said, "How do you plan to help? Zhou Qi is a grown man. How long will it take if you keep helping him like this?"
In fact, Lu Yuan's impression of Zhou Qi had already plummeted when Niu Wen was injured last time. That was a matter of principle. Although Lu Yuan went to Zhou Qi's house with the trolls and even drank alcohol, he couldn't shake the fact that Zhou Qi had deserted at the last minute. Zhou Qi's cowardly nature made Lu Yuan feel that this kind of person would betray others. Even though the other party had admitted his mistake and made a promise this time, it still wouldn't change Lu Yuan's opinion of him, at least not for the time being.
Hei Zi took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "I'm not saying I want to help him, but I feel so sorry for his child. Imagine, a six or seven-year-old girl has lost her mother and has to take care of a younger brother who's not much younger than her. What kind of situation is that! With Zhou Qi's personality, I don't think he'll last long anywhere. He simply can't support those two kids!"
"So...you're not thinking of adopting Xiaoyun, are you? She has parents! You can't even take care of yourself, how can you expect to take care of a child? I feel like this girl is better at managing a household than you are!" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at Hei Zi.
"Holy crap! Can't you talk properly?! What do you mean I'm not even as good as a seven-year-old?! I just feel sorry for her and I'm planning to adopt her as my goddaughter! I'll pay for her food and living expenses! It'll also ease some of the pressure on Zhou Qi!"
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright! I thought it was something else! Turns out it's about becoming a godfather! That's good! As long as you don't do anything stupid! Let's go! It's quite cold!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan tightened his collar and quickened his pace to leave. However, Hei Zi, who was standing still, immediately shouted loudly when Lu Yuan left, "Damn it! Aren't you going to say anything?"
Lu Yuan turned around and glanced at Hei Zi: "What should I say? Oh! Right, right, congratulations to Brother Hei Zi on gaining a goddaughter!"
"Get lost! That's what I meant! I meant something else! I've already put up with my goddaughter, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Hei Zi glared at Lu Yuan, his eyes bulging as if trying to give Lu Yuan a hint.
"Why are you blinking like that! You've squeezed out eye boogers! Hurry up and go! Stop dawdling! If you don't leave, I'm leaving!" Lu Yuan didn't intend to say anything, at most he could only say that he would visit Zhou Xiaoyun more often when he had time.
"You son of a bitch! Are you even human?! That poor girl is so pitiful, aren't you going to lend a hand or something?!" Hei Zi cursed and followed after them, shouting.
"What help am I supposed to offer? I'm not as rich as you. I'm just a small team leader, and my monthly salary is so low. How can I possibly offer any help?"
"Be a godfather! Are you in or not? Just say the word!" Hei Zi seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to be the child's godfather alone, so he pulled Lu Yuan along to go together.
Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Come on! I won't join in the fun! But I can give Xiaoyun some living expenses and get her some clothes! As for other things... I really can't help!"
Hei Zi grabbed Lu Yuan and whispered, "Alright, stop pretending. You're a hidden millionaire, why are you pretending to be poor in front of me? The meat you took today is several months' salary for you. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy beef these days!"
"I brought them with me before! Anyway, no matter what you say, I'm really not going to join in the fun! But I can help them out a bit! Don't make things difficult for me!" Lu Yuan said quickly, seeing that Hei Zi was getting into it.
Finally, Kuroko sighed and said, "Fine, you cold-blooded bastard!"
...
Back in his rented room, Lu Yuan took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, staring blankly at a small light bulb above his head.
The image of those gold miners flashed through my mind, and I immediately became worried about the radiation issue. After all, using mineral extracts to enhance the growth rate of plants and animals would leave some residual radiation on these plants and animals, which could cause problems if left in the human body for a long time.
Lu Yuan didn't know what the connection was between the crystals in his dimensional space and the crystals in the Rift Valley. Last time, he had taken a lot of crystals from the evidence and buried them in his dimensional space, which had already yielded results. This meant that there must be a connection between the two. As for why the bright spots on his dimensional crystals were showing, Lu Yuan had never been able to figure it out. Moreover, he had tried taking out the dimensional crystals and placing them in front of the crystals he had taken from the Rift Valley, but the dimensional crystals did not react at all, which puzzled Lu Yuan.
"Hiss! Could this thing also emit radiation? If it really does, how do you explain the fact that I've been eating food from this dimensional space for so long without any negative effects, and even with some enhancements?"
