When Fang Zhifeng heard Qin Yanning ask this, his attitude, which had originally softened, became tense again.
He took a step back, slightly blocking Fang Zhiyu, and said nervously, "Why are you asking this? It's just a little thing I made casually. I don't remember how I made it."
Qin Yanning felt helpless seeing this, but she could also understand.
The two children lost their families when they were young and grew up by themselves. They are wary of people and things. There is nothing wrong with this.
Qin Yanning patiently explained, "I know what you're worried about. I can guarantee that as long as I'm alive and the Third Army's space fortress is still there, no one will be able to harm you."
Fang Zhifeng had just been counseled by Qin Yanning, so he naturally trusted her more.
Hearing Qin Yanning say this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Qin Yanning reached out and touched Fang Zhiyu's little head. The little girl looked up at Qin Yanning with innocence in her eyes.
Qin Yanning continued, "And I know that the person who improved the slingshot wasn't you, but your sister, right?"
Fang Zhifeng was frightened by Qin Yanning's confident expression, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Don't talk nonsense. My sister can't even speak, how could she know these things?"
Qin Yanning didn't believe at first that the person who could provide help to everyone was a child who was not even ten years old.
But when she thought about how the system had always been reliable yet a little unreliable, she could only trust that her own judgment was correct.
After all, as soon as she saw the two children, her intuition told her that Xiao Zhiyu was the person she was looking for.
Qin Yanning carefully placed his hand on Fang Zhiyu's forehead, "Don't be nervous, trust me."
Without the imagined obstruction, Qin Yanning's spirit body easily entered Fang Zhiyu's spiritual sea. She controlled the little butterfly and released her gentle spiritual power.
Xiao Zhiyu's physique is not strong enough to support her as a sentinel, nor does she have the potential to become a guide. Qin Yanning can only let her feel the existence of spiritual power in this way.
"Feel the power of spiritual force, Zhiyu. Sister wants something that can copy the frequency band of this power. Can you do it?"
Qin Yanning tried his best to explain what he needed in words that Fang Zhiyu could understand.
Fang Zhiyu looked at Qin Yanning, nodded, and then shook his head vigorously.
The sister in front of her had a gentle voice and would carefully help her wipe her face. She could feel her liking for this sister.
But she also remembered the agreement between her and her brother. Her brother said that she could not make things for others casually, otherwise she would be mistaken for a monster and captured.
If she was captured by someone else, she would never see her brother again.
She wanted to help her sister, but she also didn't want to leave her brother.
Qin Yanning knew that the problem still lay with Fang Zhifeng. She explained, "I want this thing so that I can provide more spiritual counseling to the sentinels."
"Sentinels are people like Zhifeng. Your characteristics are that you have strong physiques, but your spiritual sea is not stable enough."
"Spiritual guidance is one of the methods used to help Sentinels stabilize their spiritual seas. Once the stability of a Sentinel's spiritual sea falls below a safe level, they are very likely to become disabled or even die."
"You have witnessed the abomination of the Zerg today, and you have also seen how many Sentinels shed their blood on the front lines of the space battlefield."
"If possible, I hope you can help me."
Qin Yanning knew that Fang Zhifeng was a little weird. Perhaps it was because someone had hurt him in the past few years, so he couldn't trust others.
Children of this age tend to be soft-hearted, so she chose to break the truth down and explain it to him bit by bit.
Sure enough, after hearing Qin Yanning's words, Fang Zhifeng lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"Even if you don't want to help my sister and others, think about your planet. Do you want the Zerg to invade and live in our homes?"
If there was any other way, Qin Yanning really didn't want to morally blackmail the two children.
War is cruel, and involving children is a foolish choice.
But during her time at the Third Army's Space Fortress, she understood the constraints that the scarcity of guide resources brought to this war.
It is no exaggeration to say that if every sentinel could receive timely guidance, there might be many fewer casualties on the interstellar battlefield.
The Zerg would never stop harming them just because they were children, so she would rather use some tricks to make the two children willing to help.
Hearing Qin Yanning say this, Fang Zhifeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can let Xiaoyu try, but I can't guarantee that she can do it."
"No matter what, you must protect Xiaoyu."
After witnessing the power of the Zerg, Fang Zhifeng also knew that what Qin Yanning said was right.
He saw how the sentinels risked their lives to save them, and deep down, he also wanted to help them.
Moreover, they now live in a space fortress. After so much experience in the outside world, he still understands the principle of living under someone's roof.
He just wanted his sister to be safe and not be treated like a monster by others.
After Mom and Dad died, the people in the small village where they lived discovered that my sister could assemble weapons out of very simple items.
They actually treated my sister as a monster and said that she was possessed by a ghost. Otherwise, how could a little girl of a few years old do such things?
In order to protect his sister, he took her and left the village.
Later they met a man who said he was a ranger and bought them food.
At first he thought that person was a good person, but gradually that person discovered the secret between his sister and him, and he happily wanted to send his sister to the research institute in exchange for money.
He also said that his sister, a girl, was more valuable than himself, a boy.
It was then that he realized that the man was actually a human trafficker, and the reason he was nice to him and his sister was to sell them for money.
Fortunately, he had a self-defense weapon made by his sister. With that weapon, he killed the human trafficker and fled to a farther place with his sister.
It was that man who woke him up, and he began to hide his sister's ability more carefully because he was afraid that his sister would really be sent to the research institute.
Even if he accidentally used something his sister made, he would blame it on himself.
He firmly believed that only in this way could he better protect his sister.
As Fang Zhifeng thought about it, his eyes turned slightly red. He walked forward and held Fang Zhiyu's hand.
Qin Yanning patted the two children's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. I will protect you and your sister."
"Except for the top leaders of the Third Army, no one else knows your sister's abilities."
Fang Zhifeng raised his head with a bit of arrogance and wiped his face quickly, not wanting Qin Yanning to see his tears.
"I hope you'll keep your word."
"I have a few more requests!"
