Chapter 41
Su Ci watched Number Two walking in front.
In addition to his short, round ears covered with a thick layer of brown fur, the slender tail that emerged from his clothes also swayed in the air as he walked, revealing the agility unique to cats.
The hair on the boy's tail is very short, not as long and fluffy as No. 8's, but it is finer and looks soft, as if it is very nice to touch.
No one could possibly imagine that such a tail could actually create a shallow hole in the solid metal floor.
"Let's go, get off the bus."
Gu Qingchen reminded from the side.
Su Ci retracted his gaze, nodded, let Gu Qingchen go first, and then got out of the car with A Yan, the little tail.
Because he wasted time in the breeding garden and the medical purification department, when Su Ci returned to the nursery building, it was already past lunchtime and the cubs had finished their meal and returned to their rooms.
The two guards who were protecting Gu Qingchen had already arrived at the nursery on the teleportation platform and met Gu Qingchen at the door.
When they saw No. 2 and Su Ci - as witnesses of the scene just now, they still couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.
Soon, the group entered the nursery building.
Although 4586 once again condemned Su Ci's behavior of always disappearing, when he saw No. 2, the attitude of this nanny robot softened.
It had a pair of tearful electronic eyes, and its mechanical arm pulled the boy's arm. In a very soft and cute voice, it said affectionately, "Er Er, you're finally back! 4586 missed you so much!"
The exaggerated body movements and rich emotional expressions make it look nothing like a robot.
Number Two's brows were tightly furrowed.
He really couldn't stand 4586 and wanted to get angry, but...
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the nanny robot, although he knew that this was a pre-programmed function, the boy's heart was still inevitably touched.
4586 is probably the robot that has persisted the longest in the nursery. During his increasingly frequent beastial madness, this robot is always lucky enough to survive.
There are still 4583...
The boy's mind flashed with the image of the nanny robot being thrown against the wall and smashed into pieces by his tiger tail.
Number Two pursed his lips.
Perhaps this robot in front of him is the only person in this nursery... no, in this world, who will treat him wholeheartedly.
Although, it is not even real life.
The boy was ultimately unable to break free from 4586's mechanical arm.
"Er Er, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" The nanny robot spoke gently, and its attitude towards the cub remained consistent, and did not change even though No. 2 broke 4583.
"I'll go get you something to eat, okay? You've lost so much weight, you look so pitiful."
As it spoke more and more corny words, No. 2 finally couldn't help but pull his hand back, but this time he used some skill and didn't hurt the robot.
Even so, the robot nanny still looked at him with a pair of electronic eyes that turned into smiling eyes, waiting for his answer very patiently.
Number Two nodded and squeezed out a "hmm" from his nose.
"Oh, that's great!"
The nanny robot was delighted when it received the response. "I'll go prepare a delicious and hearty lunch for Er Er baby. Er Er baby, please wait in the restaurant for a while, okay?"
The robot's voice is soft, cute and full of vitality. When people hear it, they will feel relaxed, as if they are really back home.
"good."
After the young man blurted out, he was also stunned, and then he noticed the slightly surprised and disbelieving look from Dr. Gu next to him.
Number Two was a little annoyed at first, but then he realized something. He suppressed the emotion and rolled his eyes at Gu Qingchen.
Just when Gu Qingchen thought the boy was going to attack him, he saw him look at him with disdain, then coolly put his hands in his pockets and walked straight towards the elevator, as if he was really going to the restaurant on the second floor to wait for food.
To be honest, Gu Qingchen was a little confused.
As mentioned before, he had many opportunities to interact with cubs, and in his impression, No. 2 was like a powder keg at all times, ready to explode without being ignited.
It is really rare to see such a peaceful performance like now!
Could it be that... Number Two has already controlled his bloodline power and is able to remain lucid and rational? If that's true, then it's definitely good news!
Although the cubs are not allowed to leave the prison planet, they are not held here as prisoners.
As long as they can stably control their bloodline power and no longer show aggressiveness after they reach adulthood, they can be employed at the base and even join the army.
If one could accumulate enough military merits, it might be possible to apply to leave Prison Star and live there.
Gu Qingchen couldn't help but look at Su Ci, wanting to share the good news with him, but then he found out...
"Where are the people?"
He looked around, but there was no sign of Keeper Su around.
In the elevator.
Su Ci leaned against the elevator wall, waiting for the elevator door to close, but saw that the elevator door that was about to close opened again.
A pair of fluffy round ears appeared in front of him. He blinked, lowered his eyes slightly, and met the little boy's reddish-brown tiger eyes.
Seeing Su Ci standing in the elevator, Number Two was also stunned.
When did this new breeder run into the elevator?
He paused for a moment until he heard the young man's clear voice, sounding lazily.
"Want to come in?"
Hearing this voice again reminded No. 2 of what had just happened in the lobby of the Medical Purification Department. He had not forgotten it. It was only after hearing this voice that he regained consciousness.
He glanced at Su Ci. Apart from his overly pretty face and lazy and casual posture, he really didn't see anything special about this new breeder.
Ordinary, thin and without a sense of presence.
Number Two didn't feel threatened and was too lazy to answer Su Ci's question. He walked straight into the elevator and pressed the button for the second floor.
However, after the elevator door closed, Number Two frowned, and the tiger tail behind him began to twitch restlessly.
He felt a strong gaze.
Number Two looked at Su Ci again, but the breeder didn't look at him. He seemed to have noticed nothing and was looking up at the numbers above the elevator.
However, the gaze that No. 2 felt did not disappear.
What's going on?
Is there anyone else in the elevator besides the two of them?
Number Two's nerves were tense. He had never had such a sharp intuition before. After the burning sensation in his body disappeared, he felt that his mind had become much smarter.
Just like when he faced Dr. Gu just now, he was able to control his emotions and not get angry and attack. This would have been unimaginable in the past.
But, he did it now.
In fact, No. 2 doesn't like fighting with the weak. It's not very challenging for him. When he is in a rational state, he has no interest at all.
This state of quick thinking and sensitive senses is really great!
I really hope it can last a while longer...
Number Two clenched his fists and vigilantly watched the movements around him, causing the short hairs on his tail to stand up.
A Yan, who was sticking close to Su Ci, saw the reaction of No. 2.
He didn't know that it was his gaze that caught the attention of Number Two. Looking at Number Two's bristling tiger tail, he couldn't help but think of Number Eight's wolf ears.
It's soft and feels very comfortable to touch.
A Yan raised his head and looked at the round ears on No. 2's head. A hint of pity flashed in his dark red eyes.
He is still too short to touch No. 2's ears, and No. 2 is very tall, and it feels like he is reaching the keeper's shoulders.
Then, the pity in A Yan's eyes turned into sincere envy.
When will he grow to be as tall as No. 2? Or even as tall as No. 8, so he can get on and off the hoverbus by himself without having to be carried by the keeper every time.
As A Yan looked at him, No. 2's nerves became more and more tense. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the gaze was lingering on his back and head.
Is this looking for his weakness?
The young man, who hadn't sweated much when fighting against the guards, now had cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Number Two looked at the keeper who was unconscious and calm beside him, and suddenly he didn't know whether he should envy him. The keeper was just an ordinary person with dull senses.
"bite--"
Finally, the elevator door opened, and No. 2 felt that this short period of less than a minute was longer than ever before.
He stepped out of the elevator, but hesitated just as he was about to leave.
The voice that broke through the cage forged by the power of his bloodline and appeared in the depths of his consciousness when he was most desperate and helpless rang in his ears again.
Although the other party may have just done it unintentionally, he did help him...
Number Two gritted his teeth, looked back at Su Ci in the elevator, and said, "Do you want to go to the restaurant with me?"
He probably rarely speaks to people in a normal tone. Even if he means well, he sounds angry and makes people feel like he wants to have a fight.
Su Ci looked at him in surprise, "What are you going to the restaurant for?"
"Of course it's eating." The red-haired boy looked impatient.
Ah, this is really an invitation that is hard to refuse... But in the end, Su Ci still reluctantly refused.
After all, when Su Ci thought of the jelly that the cubs ate, he lost his appetite, even though he had always accepted food.
Forget it, Su Ci shook his head.
Seeing that he refused directly without much hesitation, Number Two's face instantly darkened.
He didn't expect that the new breeder didn't appreciate his kindness the first time he did it?
"Whatever you want!"
The red-haired boy said something vicious and walked straight out of the elevator.
And when the elevator door closed, No. 2 really felt that the gaze that made him feel uncomfortable had disappeared.
So, besides him and the new breeder, there was definitely a third person in the elevator just now!
Who could that be?
Is it a monster that hid in the nursery from the red fog, or... Number Two suddenly thought of another possibility.
Could it be the number one he had never seen before?
Su Ci watched the elevator door close, touched his chin, then looked down at the child beside him, reached out and rubbed his head.
A Yan, who was suddenly touched on the head, couldn't help but raise his little head and blinked at the breeder in confusion.
"Number Two seems to have spotted you," he heard the keeper say.
is that so?
A Yan recalled the behavior of No. 2's tail standing on end just now. He seemed... indeed not normal.
So was Number Two afraid of him? Because he had spotted him but couldn't see him, so he was afraid?
But how did Number Two find him? He hadn't made a sound, nor had he touched him, he had just... stared at him.
"People with keen senses can sense the gazes of others." Su Ci looked at A Yan and said patiently, "Especially after you became a semi-spiritual being, your presence has become stronger."
Gaze can be materialized.
Even Su Ci himself likes to use his eyes to cast spells. After all, this method of casting spells is not only accurate, but also saves soul power. It's just that it is more difficult.
Of course, for him it was as easy as drinking water and eating.
"You should pay attention to this in the future." Su Ci warned with a hint of seriousness.
A Yan nodded.
He is still too weak now. If others, especially the monsters in the red fog, can detect his presence through their eyes, he may be in danger.
Thinking of this, A Yan couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
When will he be strong enough to protect the keeper? Although, the keeper doesn't seem to need his protection...
Su Ci took A Yan back to the dormitory.
The little spirit seed in the clay can, which was very energetic and full of energy before he left, now became listless again.
“Hungry…hungry…”
Hearing the pitiful cry of hunger, Su Ci, who was originally preparing to have lunch, had to go over to water and fertilize it first.
Milky white solid particles fell on the soil, and after being watered by the spiritual water, they quickly melted and slowly seeped into the soil. However, Su Ci discovered that—
“Long…long…long…”
The little spirit seed was still releasing signals listlessly, not at all like before when, as soon as it was watered and fertilized, it would act as if it was about to break through the skin and shout slogans.
Su Ci frowned slightly, stared at the soil can for a while, tentatively took out the multifunctional maintenance liquid, and poured a drop on the small spirit seed.
When that drop of solution landed on the surface of the soil and just penetrated into it...
“Ohh ...
The cheerful voices of the little spirits rang out again, and energetic slogans echoed throughout the room, "Grow! Grow! Grow, grow, grow!"
However, Su Ci narrowed his eyes, and for the first time, anger appeared in the young man's gentle and calm black eyes.
Very good, he has understood the crux of the matter, this delicate bag -
How dare you be picky about food!
This was definitely stepping into the minefield of breeder Su. He stared at the clay can, his aura gradually rising, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
The little spirit species that was originally shouting slogans happily seemed to sense something, and the voice of the slogans gradually weakened. It was not the kind of weak voice that was stretched out, but a kind of expression similar to... guilty conscience?
Su Ci, who was originally thinking about how to discipline this spoiled child and get rid of this bad habit, couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
This delicate fellow, besides asking for food and drink, has begun to be able to sense the outside world?
Su Ci couldn't help but frown——
As mentioned before, the signals released by the spirit seed to the outside world are just an instinctive appeal and complaint, not an ability to communicate with the outside world.
And this delicate baby can now sense his emotions and react with guilt, which proves that he has indeed made progress compared to before.
At least, I am really growing up with all my heart.
Thinking of this, Su Ci's slightly angry expression gradually calmed down.
Although he was annoyed by the fact that the baby was picky about food, it at least proved that the multifunctional maintenance liquid was indeed useful.
It would indeed be a good thing if we could grow spiritual plants quickly and let them feed back spiritual power to the earth as soon as possible to improve the earth's current poor condition.
Moreover, not only did he get nearly 200 points and two large bottles of multi-functional maintenance liquid from Zhuang Shisong today, he could also buy from him in the future, saving a lot of points.
By this calculation, there should be no problem in supporting these two spiritual seeds to germinate and successfully pass through the seedling stage.
After thinking it over in his mind, Su Ci's mood completely improved.
And just as he had just noticed - the little spirit sensed this change, and its originally guilty and short of breath voice became cheerful and excited again.
"ah!"
"Long, long, long! Long, long, long!"
The happy slogans sounded like singing, which made Su Ci feel helpless.
Okay.
Although he is a picky eater, he does not completely refuse to eat solid fertilizers. If you put yourself in his shoes, you will find it difficult for him to eat it happily if he eats something unpalatable.
Besides, why would he bother with a little spirit whose consciousness was not yet fully developed?
After convincing himself in this way, Su Ci no longer paid attention to this pampered girl. At this moment, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
“Gurgle—”
Feeling hungry, Su Ci followed the smell to the kitchen.
I saw A Yan moving a stool and standing next to the stove, holding an opened can in his hand and pouring out the meat inside.
can?
After watching A Yan pour out the meat, he put the can aside. Su Ci walked over and picked up the can to look at it.
Canned chicken, barbecue flavor.
Su Ci knew that this was made with barbecue sauce or spices. The potato chips he ate had them added to them, and they tasted very fragrant. He didn't expect that this kind of sauce could also be added to canned chicken.
He asked A Yan, "Did you take it out of the space button?"
Those 50 boxes of mixed canned food were all placed in Ayan's space button.
A Yan also noticed Su Ci approaching. He looked at the breeder and when he heard his question, he obediently took out the space button from his pocket and handed it back to him.
This was given to him by the keeper and can now be returned to the keeper.
Su Ci didn't answer, but asked, "Are you able to use this space button?"
A Yan nodded, his little hand brushed across the space button, and he took out a can of chicken from it.
The child was obviously not that proficient yet and his demonstration was very clumsy. Having said that, it was already remarkable that he was able to figure out the trick in such a short time.
Although this action is simple, it involves the perception and preliminary control of spiritual consciousness, or mental power.
Su Ci remembered that even the top geniuses among the human race would need at least one day to get started in this area, not to mention the interstellar society. This course alone would take an entire school year.
These children can achieve such rapid progress only because they have famous teachers teaching them the tricks step by step.
As for A Yan, Su Ci simply gave him some guidance and then let him practice on his own, which was almost the same as letting him practice on his own. So from this perspective, he seemed even more amazing.
Su Ci showed a look of relief on his face, and then he saw the child put the can on the table, and then handed him the space button.
The child's eyes were clear and full of intimacy and dependence. Facing such a space button filled with supplies, he did not feel any greed, as if... his approving look was more important than this space button.
Su Ci looked at A Yan. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he just silently picked up the space button in the child's hand.
This space button is exquisitely made, just like a real button, with a small protrusion in the middle and a hole for threading.
A Yan looked at the breeder with some curiosity, watching him observe the space button, and then...
The young man's slightly messy short hair actually emitted a very faint golden light, floating gently in his dull eyes.
Under the cover of that light, the young man's eyes turned into light golden, and his whole body exuded a divinity.
Immediately afterwards, one of the hairs suddenly broke off, slowly floating down from mid-air and landing right on the palm of the breeder.
And all the strange visions just now disappeared.
The divine light golden color faded from the young man's body, and his hair and eyes returned to the warm and deep black again, but the scene that just happened in front of him was deeply imprinted in A Yan's heart.
So familiar...A Yan was a little stunned.
As for Su Ci, he pinched the strand of his hair.
The fallen hair did not return to its original black color, but still emitted a light golden glow as before, and was slightly curled, like a silk thread twisted from gold.
Although it is very thin, it is one of the toughest things in the world. At least, even Su Ci himself finds it difficult to break this hair with brute force.
Su Ci pinched the hair and silently chanted a spell, and the light golden hair turned into a thin braided rope.
He passed the braided rope through the small hole of the space button, then leaned over and tied it and the space button together around A Yan's neck with his own hands.
A Yan's body was stiff, not daring to move.
He felt the breeder's hair gently scratching the side of his face, and the young man's scent, which always made him feel at ease, lingered around his nose.
At this moment, time seems to pass particularly slowly.
A Yan lowered his head, his eyes falling on the space button hanging on his chest and shaking gently. He felt like he could hear his own heartbeat.
“Plop, plop—”
The heartbeat is not strong, but it seems to be beating only for one person.
Su Ci casually tied her hair into a delicate little knot, then stepped back slightly and watched the space button hanging on the child's chest, neither too high nor too low, at the most suitable height.
He nodded with satisfaction, "This, I'll give it to you first."
With the protection of his hair and the newly formed seal, no one, not even A Yan, can damage or remove the space button unless they are a cultivator with profound Taoism skills.
At the same time, this can also share some of the damage for A Yan when he is attacked.
