Linde smiled. "It's a miracle that he's survived this long in the slums. But if he were that capable, he wouldn't have been starving when I saw him. It took me a lot of effort to save him."
The girl pursed her lips, looked at the petite figure that had slowly stopped not far away, and nodded.
That makes sense.
Having ability is one thing, but how much ability one has is another.
This guy's marksmanship is just like his—completely unreliable.
Little boy: "..."
"By the way, what's his name? I can't keep calling him 'Little Chick, Little Chick,' can I?"
Linde: "..."
Little boy: "..."
Who calls him "Little Chicken"?! He's not called "Little Chicken," okay?! He's perfectly strong! He doesn't look like a little chicken at all!
"His name is Joel, isn't that a nice name?"
The girl nodded knowingly, ignoring the next question, and took out her phone from her pocket, tapping her fingers on the screen.
After a few seconds of movement, she put her phone away and waved to the little boy not far away, "Little chick... Joel, come here for a second."
Joel, shirtless and covered in sweat on the training ground, paused for a moment. Although he looked at Qi Jiu with some fear in his eyes, he didn't say anything because Lin De was beside him, and slowly walked over.
The girl glanced at Linde beside her: "Are you sure you want to keep him by your side? Are you sure you want to train him? He's not even on my side yet, you can still back out now."
This little chick named Joel, although he comes from the slums, could cause a lot of trouble if it turns out he has other identities.
Linde readily nodded in response to the question.
"Actually, I've struggled with this question before: is it good or bad to keep him around? I tried to let him go, but he's like a dog; as soon as I threw him out, he would come back with his keen sense of smell."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something from the past, and his expression changed slightly.
It was both funny and helpless.
“It’s happened several times. It’s like a leech that I can’t get rid of, so I still choose to keep it with me.”
No one knows what happened after that, or what kind of person he really was. So since we're living in constant suspicion, it's better to follow our hearts. Even if problems arise, we'll have a clear conscience.
The girl seemed to understand his thoughts, and pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Although it's hard to agree with taking someone along so carelessly, thinking about it, it seems like the demons and monsters went through the same thing before. The four of them were either rescued or picked up, so it seems like they were all pretty much the same.
She didn't say anything more.
Joel arrived, and perhaps due to malnutrition, he appeared much shorter than the girl.
He has some flesh on his body, but not much.
He looked at Qi Jiu cautiously, just as Lin De had said, like a puppy. His dark, shiny eyes darted between Qi Jiu and Lin De.
Dog: "...?" Woof?
"Grandma Sister..."
Qi Jiu: "..." What kind of address is this?
"What did you call me?" She took off her sunglasses, her dark eyes scrutinizing him.
Seemingly still somewhat frightened by those eyes earlier, Joel shrank back. "Linde used to call you 'ancestor,' but I don't think you're that much older than me, so I called you 'sister.' Was I... wrong to call you that?"
Qi Jiu: "..."
Linde: "..."
That's both right and wrong; it's not entirely wrong either.
Fine, whatever, she'll be your ancestor sister.
"You come from the slums of Lofiel, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu and the other person could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from the boy in front of them, a deathly feeling. He seemed lifeless, as if he had experienced some despair.
The girl frowned; she didn't like this feeling.
"yes."
The chick's voice was soft and indistinct, but they all knew that he had spoken and had not denied it.
Actually, Qi Jiu had other questions she wanted to ask, but seeing Joel's current mood, she ultimately chose to give up.
It's not appropriate to talk about these things now, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
"Luo An!"
At a call, Luo An, who was practicing on the horizontal bar in the training ground, landed perfectly and then ran over with his long legs.
"Teacher N!" He was a little out of breath, his clothes had been taken off at some point, exposing his skin and revealing his strong muscles.
The dark skin of wheat exudes health and a strong sense of hormones.
"Today, this little chick will train with you. Whatever you do, he will do too. You don't need to worry about him; just act as a leader. You don't need to care whether he lives or dies."
Little Chick Yoel: "..."
He has a name, okay?
Besides, what do you mean by "don't care whether they live or die"? How can someone with a 37-degree mouth say such cold words!
Upon hearing this, Luo An was stunned. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Joel, who had the opposite build to him, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Teacher N, are you sure?" Won't someone die?
Qi Jiu nodded and looked at Joel, "I'm sure. He's not stupid. He'll stop on his own when he reaches his physical limit."
Joel: "..."
As Linde watched the tall and short figures slowly walk away, before he could even say anything, he felt a kick in the butt.
How dare you! Who has such audacity!
Before he could finish speaking, he turned his head and saw the girl's disgusted face. "You're going too? You don't even know a little self-defense. If anything happens later, you'll be the first one to die!"
Lind: "..." Why not just hire someone? Why bother learning self-defense techniques...?
"Your fate is in your own hands. Unless you have no other choice, those who let others control their lives are useless." Qi Jiu said expressionlessly, as if she could see right through him.
Lind: "..." He shouldn't have hesitated here.
snort!
While developing training plans for Lind and Joel, the original courses on Death Gate Island were not neglected, and compared with their initial results, they have now made a qualitative leap.
"Qiqi, you're simply my goddess! From now on, you'll be an honored guest on Death Gate Island! We'll treat you like royalty!"
Chongyu gripped the document, staring at the skyrocketing data, his smile practically stretching to the back of his head.
With N's guidance, will they become the only remaining giants in computer technology besides The Matrix?
