Chapter 29: Chilling
"Xiaochen, I heard from your mother that you joined the school's martial arts team. How do you feel about that?"
Lin Zichen had just returned home when he was asked this question by Lin Yansheng in the living room.
After school in the afternoon, he called Zhang Wanxin and told her that he had joined the school's martial arts team and would be home late, so his parents knew about it.
"It's good. I can sweat and exercise after school."
Lin Zichen replied while taking off his shoes.
Lin Yansheng asked again, "Xiaochen, you are very talented in both study and sports. Have you decided which path you want to take in the future?"
"I think my athletic talent is better than my academic talent, and martial arts also has a bright future. After I enter high school, I will join a martial arts class to learn martial arts." Lin Zichen said without hesitation.
There are no martial arts classes in the education stage of this world.
Because learning martial arts too early will affect physical development.
Only when students reach high school and their physical development is almost complete will the school offer martial arts classes.
Before this, students focused on studying cultural subjects.
However, we will also offer courses related to gene fusion, mechanical transformation, and alien beasts to enable students to develop comprehensively.
"What a coincidence, your mother and I also want you to learn martial arts. Now our family of three has the same goal." Lin Yansheng said with a relieved smile.
In this world where humans are constantly threatened by strange beasts, everything is inferior except martial arts.
Because only by practicing martial arts and making the body reach a certain strength can one withstand the backlash of gene fusion and mechanical transformation and become a superior gene fusionist or mechanically transformed person.
"By the way, where's Mom?"
"Your mom and your aunt Meng went out to buy groceries. They said today is Friday, so we should all get together in the evening."
"No wonder I didn't see her in the house."
Lin Zichen nodded, didn't talk any more, and quickly went upstairs to take a shower.
I worked up a sweat while practicing martial arts, and now I feel sticky and uncomfortable.
…
In the bathroom.
After taking a shower and drying himself, Lin Zichen stood naked in front of the mirror and looked at himself carefully.
Although he exercises very intensely on a daily basis, his muscles do not look big at all. They are not as exaggerated as those of a bodybuilder, but rather rather sturdy.
It means that you look thin when you are dressed, but have muscles when you are undressed.
"Yes, it's a perfect figure."
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Zichen felt very satisfied.
Afterwards, on a whim, he started practicing boxing and kicking techniques in front of the mirror.
[You are practicing boxing, Qi and blood +1, hand muscle strength +1, hand flexibility +1, boxing proficiency +1]
[You are practicing leg techniques, Qi and blood +1, leg muscle strength +1, leg flexibility +1, leg technique proficiency +1]
Not long after practicing, there was a sound of talking and laughing coming from downstairs.
It was the voices of Zhang Wanxin and Xu Meng. They had just returned from buying groceries.
At the same time, the voices of Shen Jianye and Shen Qinghan were also heard.
The two families are having a dinner together tonight, and this family of three is coming.
Seeing that everyone was gathered, Lin Zichen picked up the clothes beside him, put them on, pushed the door open and walked downstairs.
Come downstairs.
I saw two mothers cooking in the kitchen, two fathers chatting at the tea table, and Shen Qinghan sitting on the sofa doing test papers, studying very hard.
Hearing Lin Zichen's footsteps coming down the stairs, Shen Qinghan looked up at him and complained:
"Xiaochen, you took such a long time to take a shower. I've been here for half an hour."
"well enough."
Lin Zichen sat down next to her and looked at his phone leisurely.
I read current affairs news and pay attention to the situation in various places.
Not long after watching, Shen Qinghan beside him came over and said mysteriously:
"Xiaochen, guess what vegetables my mom and Aunt Xin bought. You definitely won't be able to guess."
"Hairy crab?"
"wrong."
"lobster?"
“That’s not right.”
"Then I can't guess."
"I knew you wouldn't guess it!" Shen Qinghan smiled triumphantly, then revealed the answer: "It's ghost squid meat. I bought three pounds!"
Ghost squid meat?
Lin Zichen thought he had misheard and his face was full of surprise.
Lin Yansheng in the front said, "Your mother knew that you and Hanhan wanted to eat this, so she asked your Aunt Meng to buy it at the mall."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He looked at Zhang Wanxin who was busy in the kitchen, quickly stood up and walked over and said, "Mom, let me help you."
Seeing this, Shen Qinghan followed in to help.
…
The time came to 8:30 in the evening.
Dinner is finally ready.
Although today's meal was much later than usual and everyone was very hungry, looking at the eight delicious dishes and one soup on the table, everyone felt that the wait was worth it.
"Xiaochen, this ghost squid meat smells so good and is so chewy. It's so delicious!"
Shen Qinghan was eating with a happy look on her face, and she took the initiative to pick up a piece of ghost squid meat and put it into Lin Zichen's bowl.
Lin Zichen picked it up and took a bite. It was indeed delicious.
You devoured a trace of the Ghost Squid's life force.
[Ghost Squid Album: 3.01%]
Um?
The progress bar of the atlas actually increased?
Lin Zichen was stunned at first, feeling a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was very reasonable.
If you can swallow it just by touching it with your hands, it will be even easier to swallow once you put it into your stomach.
Just as he was thinking about this, a news report was being broadcast on the TV screen in front of him.
"Genius girl, shocking the whole country!"
"At only fourteen, he successfully fused the Energy Heart, becoming the youngest cyborg in the nation's history!"
"When the energy is activated, he can easily lift a 2,000kg off-road vehicle with one hand, sprint 100 meters in just 3 seconds, and jump vertically up to 8 meters!"
"The Kyoto prodigy back then, the genius girl today, two peerless geniuses, who will become the king of this era?"
"Is genetic fusion invincible? Or is mechanical ascension unmatched? Let us look forward to the peak showdown between these two geniuses in the future!"
Everyone at the table watched the news.
Among them, Zhang Wanxin was somewhat speechless and said, "How come another genius girl popped up? She's only fourteen years old, and her body hasn't even fully grown yet, but she's already been mechanically transformed. I really don't know what her parents are thinking."
Lin Yansheng took a sip of his soup and said, "I guess he saw how successful the marketing of Kyoto Prodigy was back then, making a ton of money, so he wanted to follow suit and make some money."
Lin Zichen, who was listening on the side, also felt that this so-called peerless genius was just marketing to make money.
Making money is not shameful, everyone can understand it.
Shen Qinghan watched the news on the TV screen and thought the words "peerless twins" sounded very nice, so he looked at Lin Zichen with full enthusiasm and said:
"Xiaochen, I will work hard to improve myself and strive to become the peerless duo with you one day!"
"Yeah, come on."
Lin Zichen gave her a cheering gesture.
Watching the interaction between the two children, Shen Jianye and Xu Meng on the opposite side felt a little bitter in their hearts, and became more and more worried about Shen Qinghan's future.
Work hard to improve yourself and become the most outstanding two heroes?
But the reality is that the gap between the two children will only get bigger and bigger.
Forget it, Hanhan is still young.
Let the happy days last one day at a time, let the friendship last one day at a time, let her live in the present moment.
We’ll talk about the future later...
Shen Jianye and Xu Meng both came to terms with it and felt that everything should just be left to nature, without any unnecessary worries.
After all, worrying will only bring bad emotions and will not change anything.
soon.
Another news report appeared on the TV screen.
"The captain of the security team at the XX District Security Office in Shanhai City tragically died in his office at 11:00 PM last night. According to surveillance footage, he was killed by a giant rat that had infiltrated the office."
"The captain of the security team, He Chunshan, has served for three years. During his tenure, he has made outstanding contributions to the security of District XX, arresting nineteen members of the Rat God Cult and assisting the cyborgs in killing three giant rats..."
After reporting on the security team captain’s contributions during his lifetime, an interview video was immediately played on the TV screen.
The people being interviewed were the security guards in the station. They all had angry looks on their faces and were shouting that they would fight the Rat God Cult to the death from now on.
After reading this news report, everyone in the room widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
The captain of the security team is dead?
11 o'clock last night... Wasn't that when we left the police station not long ago?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Especially Lin Zichen, he felt a chill when he recalled the mouse he saw last night.
