Chapter 88
Ren Yufei looked at the light screen opposite him. The young man had a dull expression on his face. Not only were his eyelids drooping, but he also looked so lazy that he seemed like he would fall asleep at any moment. He couldn't help but feel angry.
What's the administration doing this time? Why did they hire such an unreliable breeder?
Although the previous keepers were not very good either, they were all good looking but useless, but at least they had no problems with their attitude, unlike this new keepers!
Thinking back to the day he'd taken Number Four to the entrance of the research institute, he'd originally planned to meet the breeder—as long as he got the breeder's consent, the base's intelligent computer wouldn't be able to do anything to him, and he'd also be careful about the limits of his experiments...
However, the plan was beautiful, but Number Four suddenly went berserk! And with so many people around, this guy was only targeting him!
Those guards were useless. With so many people, they couldn't even stop a child who was less than nine years old. However, it was precisely this point that made him even more unwilling to give up Number Four.
He had replayed the battle video of that day countless times, and he was sure that No. 4 had used that ability again while fighting with the guards.
After questioning the guards, they also said that at the last moment, they suddenly felt a certain force, and they were pushed away by this force, which prevented them from defending against No. 4 and allowing him to break through the encirclement.
As for what I just told Su Ci, that No. 4 displayed two kinds of bloodline power...this has not actually been fully confirmed.
Because it is difficult to detect the bloodline of ferocious beasts.
In today's interstellar world where human races are mixed, it is almost impossible to find humans with only animal blood. Moreover, the detection of mixed animal blood is difficult, and there has been no breakthrough in related technology.
Especially since No. 4 had just awakened, it was even more difficult to detect which beast blood had taken effect on him.
However, Ren Yufei was more inclined to believe that No. 4 displayed two bloodline powers.
Although the research value is lower compared to directly awakening superpowers, according to the physical fitness test data of No. 4, his current condition is much better than previous cases.
First of all, he quickly calmed down after the power of his bloodline erupted - although he was in a coma, it was much better than the other cubs.
After awakening the two bloodline powers, not all of those cubs died from the mutual repulsion of the bloodline powers. More than 70% of them died from the frequent outbreaks of the bloodline powers.
Because the cubs' fragile bodies couldn't withstand the power of just one bloodline, let alone two or more different bloodlines? These children would eventually die from organ failure.
As for the fourth, this situation has not yet occurred.
After bringing him back to the research institute, they conducted preliminary tests on No. 4's body and also studied the monitoring data recorded by the nursery over the past month. They found that although No. 4's organs had also shown signs of collapse, his ability to repair himself was very strong.
This repair ability has become the key to research.
Ren Yufei now has to confirm whether this repair ability of No. 4's body is his own bloodline talent, or whether he has awakened related superpowers to help him offset the negative effects of the two bloodline powers.
And without No. 4 as a test subject, all his research would come to a standstill.
Therefore, he was eager to contact the trainee breeder before he had fully recovered.
"Keeper Su, for Number Four's safety, you should send him to the research institute as soon as possible. This is not only responsible for him, but also for your safety and the safety of the other cubs in the nursery."
Ren Yufei continued to lobby, but he found that the breeder opposite was not only unmoved, but also yawned.
"Apprentice breeder Su Ci! I am now discussing the issue of number four with you very seriously. Please pay attention to your attitude!" The physical pain and the slow progress finally broke Ren Yufei's concentration.
He was furious. "Please show your professionalism as a breeder! You haven't even passed the probation period yet, and you're not even a full-fledged employee of Base 24!"
As a senior researcher in the research institute, he was actually given a hard time by an intern. If this gets out, where will Ren Yufei put his face?
Su Ci shrugged, still looking tired.
"I believe the cub's health should be the responsibility of the Medical Purification Department. I will consult with Dr. Gu and follow his guidance, so Dr. Ren won't have to worry about it."
"you……"
Ren Yufei wanted to say something, but Su Ci didn't want to waste any more time, so he ended the call before he could respond, regardless of how angry Ren Yufei was on the other side.
After ending the call, Su Ci said to the intelligent brain: "I don't want to receive his calls again."
The voice of the base's intelligent computer sounded.
"Received. Senior Researcher Ren Yufei from the Institute has been blacklisted for you."
Su Ci tilted his head, "I mean, is there any way you can get him off the planet?"
How could he allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed? If he disliked someone, he would naturally turn a blind eye. However, as he had told the wolf cubs, if he could outsmart them, there was no need for force.
Besides, doesn't he have a very useful helper now? He doesn't even need to think of the solution himself, just move his mouth, it couldn't be easier.
After he finished speaking, the voice of the base's intelligent computer sounded again: "As the highest authority holder of Base 24, you can directly dismiss him from his position and permanently ban him from setting foot in Base 24."
"This idea is good, but I don't want to reveal my identity." Su Ci shook his head in denial.
Although he has obtained the highest authority, Su Ci understands how he got it. Once it is exposed, it is likely to implicate the intelligent computer of Base 24.
After all, no matter how powerful the base's intelligent computer is, it is just a useful tool in the eyes of humans. If there is a problem with the tool, it naturally needs to be repaired.
Su Ci thought for a moment and said, "Collect evidence of his crimes and send it anonymously to someone who can put him in jail."
"Please note that this intelligent computer is only used for the daily management of Base 24. It cannot connect to the external network, nor can it contact members who are not affiliated with this base."
The base's intelligent computer's voice sounded indifferently, "Based on the records we've collected of Researcher Ren Yufei's violations at this base, we can't simply dismiss him. The most severe punishment is suspension pending investigation. Please be advised."
As for whether the investigators are impartial enough, whether they will dismiss Ren Yufei or even send him to a military court, this is not something that the base's intelligent computer can decide.
As mentioned before, the base's intelligent computer only has supervisory power and limited decision-making power.
Su Ci smiled lightly and said disapprovingly: "Then I'll give you this authority."
The base must have equipment connected to the external network, otherwise how could they contact the Star Alliance headquarters? However, the base's intelligent computer could only communicate with a limited number of people, and it couldn't directly access the Star Network.
Since there is no problem with the hardware, then other things will naturally not be a problem for Su Ci.
The base's intelligent computer paused for a moment before speaking, "Will you grant the 24th base's intelligent computer full access to the external network? This includes, but is not limited to, receiving and processing all information from the Star Network..."
Su Ci interrupted, "Yes, I will give you all the access to the external network. You will collect all the criminal materials of Ren Yufei and send them to someone who is able and willing to punish him."
Judging from the way Ren Yufei handled things, Su Ci didn't believe that he was a rule-abiding person, and the laws of the human race were very useful in dealing with such people - of course, there needed to be a strict enforcement agency.
Su Ci could only understand the current situation in the human world through the common sense that popped up in his mind from time to time, and he was not very clear about the execution ability of the human state apparatus.
Anyway, if there is really no way to get rid of Ren Yufei in the end, it won’t be too late for him to take action himself.
Su Ci's words clearly put the base's intelligent computer at a loss. It asked, "Excuse me, how do we determine whether someone is willing to sanction Researcher Ren Yufei?"
Su Ci curled the corners of his lips, "Then this is what you need to consider."
In his opinion, the base's intelligent computer has great potential, but it is too restricted. If it wants to truly help him solve more problems, it needs further training.
When using the ability of "mechanical control" on the intelligent computer of Base 24, Su Ci had already given it further possibilities.
Whether it can finally break free from the current shackles and reach a new level depends on the luck of the base's intelligent computer itself.
Come to think of it, this is quite interesting.
"Okay, go ahead and do it. I'm counting on you."
“…”
Six small dots appeared on the light screen. If the intelligent computer had evolved emotions at this moment, it would probably be quite speechless.
However, the light disappeared soon after. It should be that the intelligent computer of Base 24 accepted Su Ci's order and tried hard to execute it.
After assigning the tasks, Su Ci felt relieved.
He put down the communicator and turned sideways, and saw that Xiao Lihua had already gotten off her brother's back. The two of them stood side by side, both tilted their heads back, staring at him without blinking.
Because Su Ci issued an order that no one could know that he had obtained the highest authority, when he was talking to the intelligent computer, the intelligent computer automatically blocked the content of the conversation. Therefore, Xiao Rongheng and the others did not hear the rest of the content.
However, the conversation between Ren Yufei and Su Ci alone contained a huge amount of information for the two siblings.
Xiao Rongheng looked at Su Ci. It would be a lie to say that he was not at all uneasy. But it was not that he was frightened by what Dr. Ren said.
Because the breeder standing in front of him is a living example. He has at least four abilities, but he is standing here unharmed.
Although he has a slender figure, he possesses unfathomable strength.
Moreover, judging from the breeder's attitude towards Dr. Ren just now, he should have a way to help him solve his physical problems, right? It's just...
What are the requirements?
Xiao Rongheng has always believed in the principle of equal exchange. Whatever he gets, he has to pay something of similar value in exchange. After he grew up, he naturally knew that he had to do this, as if... it was the right thing to do.
It seemed that someone had told him this before, but he had forgotten who that person was.
He also taught this to his sister, so when Xiao Lihua wanted a handkerchief before, she took out her beloved hairpin to exchange with Su Ci.
Therefore, although Xiao Rongheng also wanted to leave the nursery, unlike No. 2, he hoped to adopt a gentler approach.
He would not escape directly. The time when he really left the nursery would definitely be when he felt that he had repaid all the kindness the nursery had shown him and his sister in raising him.
Only then could he leave with peace of mind.
But it's too early to say this now. Whether he can live to adulthood is still unknown...
Little Lihua didn't think too much about it. She just saw her brother make the little stone move, so she knew that her brother had really awakened the second blood power!
"Susu, is what that bad guy said true?"
Little Lihua ran over and hugged Su Ci's legs. She raised her little head and looked at him pitifully, and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, will you really...really...die?"
When she said this, the little girl's eyes turned red and her mouth pouted.
Because she grew up in a nursery, Xiao Lihua's perception of things is different from others, and she regards the nanny robot as one of her own.
Therefore, as the nanny robot continues to be damaged, in Xiao Lihua's world, she has to experience a life-and-death separation almost every once in a while. This is undoubtedly a very cruel thing for a child who is only a few years old.
She had tried very hard to be strong, but now...
When Xiao Lihua thought that her beloved brother was going to die and leave her forever, she felt like the sky was falling and was extremely frightened.
The little girl's breath, which had originally become calm, became turbid and mixed again because of her out-of-control emotions.
Su Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
These little cubs are really a worry... Although he thought so, he stretched out his hand, placed his palm on the little lion's furry ears, and rubbed them gently.
"Don't worry, your brother won't die."
Su Ci made a promise softly, "As long as I'm here, no one will be in trouble."
Xiao Lihua, whose pupils were approaching those of an animal, couldn't help but blink when she heard this, and the painful and sad expression on her face slowly disappeared.
The young man's simple words stopped her frenzy, because this promise brought her an unspeakable sense of security.
Such a powerful breeder said that my brother will not die and they will all be fine!
"It's a deal."
Little Lihua raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. As for the handkerchief that the breeder had just given her, she had already put it in her pocket - such a precious handkerchief, she was reluctant to use it.
She looked at Su Ci, with confirmation and pleading in her eyes, "As long as Su Su is here, brother won't die!"
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded and took the opportunity to rub the little lion's furry ears.
Little Lihua didn't resist. As long as it could save her brother, the breeder could rub her as long as he wanted! It didn't matter if he messed up her hair!
Xiao Rongheng, who was standing next to him, looked at the scene with a complicated expression.
He never imagined that in just a few days when he was away, his sister had established such a level of trust with the new breeder.
This was something that was absolutely unimaginable in the past, so what did he miss during this period of time?
The young man's mind was full of doubts and he really needed someone to help him answer them, but now was not the time to understand this information.
He saw the breeder let go of Xiao Lihua, then walked towards him and squatted in front of him.
Looking at the young man's overly handsome face and feeling his breath approaching, Xiao Rongheng couldn't help but take a step back, widening the distance between them.
Su Ci didn't care about the boy's wariness and alienation. He looked into Xiao Rongheng's eyes and said, "You should have heard what Dr. Ren said just now, right?"
Xiao Rongheng nodded.
"Two bloodline powers have indeed appeared in your body." Su Ci asked seriously, "So, what are your thoughts? Do you want to go to the research institute or stay here?"
Hearing this, Xiao Rongheng was stunned and felt some strange emotions in his heart.
Asking him what he thought and giving him room to choose was treatment he had never received before. Perhaps because of this, even though he acknowledged the kindness of the brooding center to him and his sister, he always wanted to leave here.
Because everything he got was imposed on him by others.
And now, someone gave him a choice.
"I don't want to go to the research institute." Xiao Rongheng looked back at Su Ci's eyes and said firmly, "I don't like that Dr. Ren. He makes me feel dangerous."
No matter how nicely that person spoke or how well he treated him, Xiao Rongheng's intuition told him that person had bad intentions towards him.
Su Ci nodded, "Okay, then you stay in the nursery."
He respects these little guys very much. If Xiao Rongheng wants to follow Ren Yufei to receive "treatment", he will not stop him. He will not force these little guys to do anything.
Su Ci glanced at Xiao Rongheng, and finally, reached out and placed his hand on the boy's head.
A golden glow shone from his palm.
Xiao Rongheng didn't dare to move. The palm that fell on the top of his head was very warm, but he felt his back was stiff and he couldn't relax at all - it was an emotion that came from deep in his blood, making him remain awed and respectful.
Time passed little by little in Xiao Rongheng's torment.
Finally, Su Ci withdrew his hand.
He looked at the young man with a deep gaze, "Your bloodline repulsion problem is not a problem you need to worry about at the moment."
Xiao Rongheng's red-tailed lion bloodline mainly affects his body, giving him a strong physique, strength comparable to that of an adult, and a movement speed far beyond that of ordinary people.
Such superior physical conditions are actually very suitable for the path of physical cultivation.
However, there is another bloodline power in his body, which is very different from the power of the red-tailed lion.
This power, like his sister's, belongs to the spiritual realm. The difference is that Xiao Lihua's ability is similar to that of a word spirit and can only control living things through language, while Xiao Rongheng's is to control inanimate objects.
The blood power of these two siblings is very interesting.
Xiao Lihua's problem is slightly smaller because her red-tailed lion bloodline is at a disadvantage.
Apart from allowing her to grow lion ears and a tail, her other abilities and characteristics have not yet been revealed, so her physical fitness cannot be compared with her brother's.
And that power that manifests as mental control is far stronger than the bloodline power of the red-tailed lion.
As she grows up, perhaps her red-tailed lion bloodline will be completely suppressed and purified, leaving her with only the power of bloodline controlled by her mind.
As for her brother Rong Heng, the performance of the two bloodlines was evenly matched, forming a competitive trend in his body.
This is a very dangerous thing. His body has become a battlefield for these two bloodline powers. Both beast bloods are so powerful that their fighting and competition will cause great damage to his body.
Fortunately, because the two are in different areas of development, a vague balance has been achieved.
But this balance will not last long, because Xiao Rongheng's second bloodline power has just awakened, and it is already able to compete with the power of the red-tailed lion, which shows how powerful this power is.
Once this second bloodline power becomes stronger and the red-tailed lion's bloodline power cannot keep up with its growth, the balance will be broken, and then little Rongheng will be in danger.
"What you need to do now is to master the second bloodline power as quickly as possible," Su Ci said. "Before it truly grows, tame it and make it a force you can control."
The young man had put aside his lazy demeanor and his face was now serious.
Little Rongheng also listened attentively, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: So, the breeder has tamed those four forces and is able to live well until now?
He couldn't help but feel impressed.
The breeder... is really strong!
"Then how can we tame this power?" Xiao Rongheng asked humbly.
If he just relies on himself to explore, it will be difficult for him to master this power in a short period of time...
Su Ci didn't keep the secret. He said, "I can teach you. As for the conditions..."
He glanced at the land behind the young man, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Help me farm."
Although furry animals are really nice to touch, we can't always be idle like this. We should start training these future little helpers from now on, which will also reduce Ayan's burden.
Xiao Rongheng followed his gaze and looked at the land behind him.
He didn't quite understand what was said, but thinking of that lush green corner, he spoke according to his own understanding: "Does farming mean burying those green plants in the soil?"
"That's about it. Just bury the seeds in the ground and let them germinate and grow." Su Ci said casually, "As for the more specific operations and more complex planting knowledge, I will teach you later."
Xiao Rongheng nodded to show that he understood.
If this bare land could be turned green and these green plants could eventually bloom, Xiao Lihua would definitely be very happy, right?
Imagining the arrival of that day, Xiao Rongheng couldn't help but feel excited.
that is……
"Is that enough?"
This is the way to keep him alive and save his life. In exchange, wouldn’t it be too little to just farm?
"No." Su Ci said firmly.
Seeing the breeder's insistence, Xiao Rongheng didn't dare to say anything more. After a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, I can help you farm."
He looked at the mud in front of him, his eyes firm and with a bit of longing.
He also wanted to see what the nursery would look like when it was covered with green... It should be very beautiful, right?
Little Rongheng couldn't imagine that when breeder Su asked him to help him cultivate the land, it wasn't just the small piece of land in the nursery, but...
A whole planet.
