Chapter 210 The toys are getting more and more amazing!
Linghu Yi couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Mina, a fourth-level ability user, actually went to the trouble of crafting an ability toy specifically for a baby!
So, what is the identity of this baby named Zuo Chen?
However, the records clearly show that he is Zuo Shan's son, and that the father of the child is unknown.
These kinds of children in the border areas are usually the product of a mercenary exchanging a little food for a scavenging woman to sleep with him. Most mercenaries won't acknowledge such children unless they are serious about the woman.
But Zuo Shan, this woman, is clearly different from ordinary scavengers. So, is the father of her child also not an ordinary mercenary?
Thinking of this, Linghu Yi suddenly had a bold guess.
Could this baby be the offspring of a young master from the Lan Dun family who was lost to the outside world?
The Lan Dun family is one of the families with extremely strong genes. This baby is still too young to tell whether his aptitude is outstanding.
However, upon learning of the baby's existence, the heir of the Mortilan Shield family instructed Mina and Matt to maintain contact with Zuo Shan.
Although he is still very young, his ability level has already broken through to the ninth level. It is difficult for high-level ability users to have offspring, so this child may be the adopted son he has reserved for himself.
Furthermore, if the child truly belongs to the Lan Dun family, he could even claim to be his own son. In this way, once he becomes the head of the family, and cultivates an excellent successor, his position as the head of the family would be even more secure.
Of course, this is on the premise that the child is a little older and his or her aptitude is found to be excellent. Otherwise, if the child is useless, there is no need to take him or her back.
However, this guess, while seemingly reasonable, still leaves one unanswered question: who exactly is this young master Bai? And why did Mina and Matt come with him?
It's no wonder Linghu Yi couldn't tell that Xiaobai was wearing a mask; the Illusion Mask he was wearing was the masterpiece of Sikou Ye, a famous weapon-refining master in the central district.
It is a highly realistic mask unique to the entire Green Algae Planet, capable of altering not only the user's appearance but also their aura.
But regardless of what this young master Bai's true identity is, Zuo Shan has already been targeted.
Once his aptitude is determined to be outstanding, the inevitable outcome will be to leave the mother and keep the child. If this young master Bai is kind-hearted, he will at most secretly take the child away.
The world is vast, where could she possibly find her child?
Even if she could find out the child's whereabouts, as an ordinary woman from District 48, she would never have the chance to enter the central district in her lifetime, and could only sigh in vain.
Thinking of this, Linghu Yi's gaze towards Zuo Shan held a touch more sympathy.
To be fair, he had a good impression of this woman, but unfortunately, their relationship was superficial. Even if he knew the truth, he would not make an enemy of the Lan Dun family for her sake.
On the other side, seeing that Mina had already started showing off her gifts, Matt was not to be outdone and quickly took out his carefully prepared gift box and handed it to Zuo Shan.
"May our baby Achen live a long and healthy life, and have a bright future!" Matt said happily.
Left Fan: This is a wasteland, not ancient times, so why are you wishing the child a thousand years old?
Xiao Bai noticed her confusion and explained with a smile, "Legend has it that after breaking through to the tenth level of superpower, a person's lifespan can be extended to a thousand years. Matt is wishing that the baby will become the most powerful superpower user on the entire Green Algae Star in the future."
"Thank you! But I don't have such high expectations for Achen. I just hope he can grow up healthy and happy, and marry the girl he likes in the future, and grow old together!" Zuo Shan said with a smile.
Matt gave the baby a sapphire bracelet, made up of eight exquisite gemstones, with a crystal-clear ruby cherry pendant in the center, which looked very appetizing.
"This red cherry contains a large amount of super-strong defensive mental energy."
If the baby is attacked with more than 50% of its own strength, the bracelet's defense mechanism will be automatically triggered, releasing the spiritual energy within the red cherry to form a protective shield to safeguard the baby's safety.
"Each of these eight gems stores a burst of offensive mental energy. Once the defense mechanism is triggered, it will release an offensive burst of mental energy to precisely lock onto the attacker," Matt explained with a smile.
"Your gifts are so precious, I really don't know how to thank you enough!" Zuo Shan said excitedly.
“Miss Zuo, when we came to your house for a meal before, didn’t you also serve us the best food and the most superb cooking skills?”
"Besides, we all really like baby Chen, this gift is for him, so you don't need to worry about it too much," Matt said.
"Ahem!" Xiao Bai coughed lightly. He hadn't even given his gift yet, and his two subordinates had already stolen the spotlight.
"Chen, come on, say hello to the uncles and aunties!" Zuo Shan hugged Chen and waved his chubby little hands at everyone.
In fact, ever since Linghu Yi came in, Achen's nerves were on edge. He felt the second greatest threat after the number one enemy.
He instinctively wanted to hide, but he was now a full-month-old baby, no longer the silly couple's newborn infant.
He could roughly discern that not all powerful beings would threaten his and his mother's safety.
Take this red-eyed guy for example. Although his aura was very strong, from the moment he entered the room, he kept staring at the food on the table and sniffing, as if he hadn't eaten anything.
Then he gave him a big ball, which was really fun!
Hmm, he shouldn't be a bad guy.
Then the number one enemy also came in with the two guys who had relatively strong auras, and they also gave him gifts.
That bracelet is sparkly and pretty; my baby loves it!
That anklet makes the baby float, it's better than any of the baby's toys!
Is today a day for receiving gifts? But why hasn't that number one enemy, Xiao Bai, given me a gift yet?
Perhaps the baby's gaze was too intense, because Xiaobai suddenly forgot the gift-giving ceremony she had prepared.
He took out a crystal necklace made of pink rosebuds, with a small silver sword attached to the bottom of the chain.
"These flower buds are carved from constant-temperature ice crystals refined by ice-type supernatural abilities. They will not melt, but they can continuously regulate the surrounding temperature."
In extremely cold weather, they automatically absorb the surrounding cold air, and in extremely hot weather, they automatically release the cold air to cool the surrounding area.
This small silver sword, imbued with the aura of a high-level ability user, is enough to intimidate mutated beasts below the fourth rank, causing them to tremble in fear and flee in terror.
Xiao Bai's explanation shocked Zuo Shan: "So, this necklace is both a constant temperature air conditioner and a powerful beast-repelling powder?"
"Yes, that's one way to understand it," Xiaobai said with a smile.
Linghu Yi, who was sitting on a bamboo chair and trying to remain invisible, thought that his gift was high-end enough, but compared with these three, it was at best a means of transportation.
In the event of danger and the need to escape, even the anklet that Mina gave him, which seemed to be only good for floating around, was more useful than his means of transportation.
After all, what mode of transportation in this world can compare to the speed of the wind, and its hidden capabilities?
The enemy could track the aircraft, but they couldn't track a tornado.
Fortunately, he was just here to freeload a meal, so the gift wasn't too shabby, was it?
Just then, I heard someone knocking on the door again.
This time, the people who came in were Old Madam Gu and the old housekeeper, who was also holding a pet piglet in his arms.
"Little Fan, you have quite a few guests here!" Old Madam Gu said first.
“Yes, yes, you’ve all met Xiaobai and the others. This is… you should introduce yourself.” Zuo Shan turned the conversation to Linghu Yi, since she didn’t know the rules of the Ninth Forum, whether a pickup clerk could casually reveal their identity to the public.
"My name is Linghu Yi, and I am the pickup clerk number 48 at the Ninth Forum. I hope you will all take good care of me in the future!" Linghu Yi said generously.
Madam Gu and the old butler exchanged a glance, then Madam Gu smiled and nodded at him.
“Since you’re sitting here, you must be Xiao Shanzi’s friend. Since you’re her friend, we should definitely consider you one of our own,” said Madam Gu in a very polite and friendly manner.
The old butler quickly changed the subject, saying, "Silly boy, hurry up and give the gift you prepared to Achen!"
The pet pig blinked its little eyes, then blew a big bubble towards Achen's crib. Inside the bubble were a small pillow and a few toys such as rattles and small balls.
Linghu Yi and Xiaobai were both shocked: It was actually a super defensive ball?!
