Chapter 10: Intentional Learning

After a quick wash, they had a casual breakfast and lunch.

Sheng Shixian didn't complain about anything and ate the rice with a spoon like a robot.

He initially refused to use chopsticks and a spoon to eat, because he was envious of the fact that his fingernails had grown much longer and would always prick his flesh when he made a fist.

So he just used his hands to eat and eat.

Pei Du frowned when he saw Sheng Shienvy.

Not only did Sheng Shixian eat with his hands like a wild animal, he also threw the food around when he took the food, splashing grease all over Pei Du's face.

Pei Du: “…”

"Sheng Shi is jealous." Pei Du couldn't help but speak.

Sheng Shixian was still wary and uneasy about the surrounding environment. When he heard Pei Du's voice, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

His dark pupils looked at Pei Du cautiously.

Pei Du stood up, took all the food in front of Sheng Shixian aside, and replaced it with a few buns.

"You eat steamed buns, steamed buns are healthy." Pei Du said nonsense seriously. He put the food next to himself and continued, "These things have no nutrition, but I can eat them."

As he spoke, he took the bowl from Sheng Shixian's hand and put it aside.

Sheng Shixian sat in his seat without moving, so Pei Du handcuffed his hands and feet even when he was eating, so he could only move his hands a short distance.

Pei Du moved quickly. Sheng Shi looked at him enviously as he took away all the plates of bones and meat in front of him, leaving only two spinach buns for him.

He ate vegetable buns in the morning, spinach buns at noon, and Pei Du also prepared rapeseed soup for him in the evening.

Sheng Shi was jealous: “…”

Sheng Shixian paused his fingers, picked up the bun with his right hand and put it to his mouth, then he looked at the bone opposite and bit off a bit of the bun skin.

It tastes like chewing wax.

"Meat." Sheng Shixian suddenly muttered.

Pei Du glanced at him and placed another meat bun in front of Sheng Shixian.

Sheng Shi was jealous: “…”

Sheng Shixian didn't take the meat bun. He looked straight at Pei Du drinking the soup.

Pei Du always looked cold and distant, and his expression did not change during the meal. His lips were very pale, and his skin was pale, as if he was sick.

The aroma of food lingered on the table. Sheng Shiyan chewed the bun in his mouth and couldn't help rolling his Adam's apple.

He slowly grasped the soup spoon that he had always refused to use, and while observing Pei Du's eating posture, he adjusted the direction of his finger grip.

Pei Du received a call from the laboratory in the afternoon. The intelligence from the black market had already been passed on, and they handed the afternoon's experimental task to Pei Du.

"Brother Pei, Junior Brother Ling Yu is also in the lab today. He is taking over your previous experiment. Why don't you two meet today and discuss your tasks?"

Pei Du turned up the volume on his phone and said, "Okay, I have time today. Where is he?"

"The laboratory where you did your experiment before, N309."

"Okay." Pei Du hung up the phone.

He turned his head and looked behind him. Sheng Shixian sat on the sofa motionless after finishing his meal. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his dark pupils looked forward with an unknown purpose.

Pei Du felt a little troubled. Sheng Shixian's transformation was still continuing, and his mind was unstable and difficult to control. No one knew what he would do when Pei Du was away.

"I will help you watch him." Gouqiu Tuosheng floated beside Pei Du at the right time.

Pei Du looked at him. The number on Gouchu Tuosheng's body decreased by one day, and the blue light dimmed accordingly.

"How do you look at him?" Pei Du asked.

After a while, he said: "I will record all his activities and export them to you when you come back. Isn't it very practical?"

Pei Du thought about it and felt that it made some sense: "Then you are just a camera. I have a camera at home."

Survive and survive: "..."

"If he breaks free from the chains and runs away, or tries to bite me, can you stop him?" Pei Du asked.

"Of course I can't stop him." Gouqiu Tousheng turned around again and said angrily, "Xiao Gougou, my life is also my life. What if I get stabbed to death by him?"

Pei Du was puzzled: "Your body is as hard as steel and concrete, so why are you afraid of being stabbed?"

"But I'm only one year old!" Gouchu Toutousheng raised the blue card again, revealing the number one. "I'm young, my defense mechanism is not strong, and my body is very fragile!"

"...Okay." Pei Du held his forehead and said, "Then connect your data to my phone and send me the situation in real time."

Gou Qie Tou Sheng collected the cards: "Okay."

It is indeed unreliable to just live a life of ease.

Pei Du sighed helplessly. He turned to look at Sheng Shixian, thought for a few minutes, and took out four or five Rubik's Cubes from the drawer.

Sheng Shixian heard the voice and turned his gaze over.

The colors on the Rubik's Cube were mixed up and spaced out. Pei Du turned them in front of Sheng Shixian, and with a tumble of his knuckles, he turned one side of the Rubik's Cube to the same color.

"Sheng Shixian, let's play a game." Pei Du looked at Sheng Shixian.

Sheng Shixian did not answer, but just fixed his eyes on Pei Du's hand.

"I'll give you three hours. If you can solve all five Rubik's Cubes in three hours, I'll unlock one layer of the lock for you in the evening." Pei Du threw the Rubik's Cube in his hand, "What do you think?"

Sheng Shi's eyes turned slightly with envy: "Where?"

"It's up to you." Pei Du was very easy to talk to. "Hands, feet...untie wherever you want."

Sheng Shi was jealous of the silence. He picked up the Rubik's Cube and rubbed the surface of the cube with his fingertips.

He hummed after a few minutes.

Pei Du piled the Rubik's Cubes on the table. He placed a countdown alarm on the table and said, "Let's start now."

Sheng Shixian picked up a Rubik's Cube. His fingers were stiff and he turned the cube slowly.

After being infected, the alien species will degenerate into creatures similar to beasts, losing their memories and humanity, and similarly, their intelligence will also decline.

Pei Du estimated that it would take at least an hour for an alien like Sheng Shiyan to complete a Rubik's Cube.

Sheng Shixian was already slowly turning the Rubik's Cube. Pei Du paid attention to his situation and walked back with light steps.

Pei Du drew all the curtains in the house and put mechanical locks on the windows and doors. Then he walked out of the house through a small door that Sheng Shixian could not see.

His home was some distance away from the laboratory, so Pei Du went to the garage, selected an inconspicuous car, and drove to the laboratory himself.

On the way, he took some time to check on the situation at home. Sheng Shi was envious that he was still twisting the Rubik's Cube half an hour later.

His brows were furrowed, his expression was serious, and his movements were cautious.

Pei Du enlarged the screen and looked at the Rubik's Cube in his hand. As Pei Du expected, after such a long time, Nei Sheng Shixian only twisted the Rubik's Cube to have one side of the same color.

Pei Du watched for a while, then tapped the screen to turn off the video.

He arrived at his destination half an hour later. After Pei Du fell ill, many laboratory tasks were handed over to other people. This time he came mainly to resume work.

And... Pei Du looked at his bandaged hands.

To test something.
