Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Everyone is destined to die, but we cannot die as a society...
When Qin Sheng came back to call them for dinner, he saw his future wife tutoring the children...
No, bah!
It was Noodles sitting on Xu Zhaoyi's lap, holding his mini laptop and typing away on the keyboard. Xu Zhaoyi was watching from behind, his brows furrowed like a university professor marking students' papers that could ruin his reputation in the education world, pointing at each word and sentence and asking Noodles to delete it.
"Delete this sentence." He couldn't possibly say such hypocritical words to a man.
What other good person in an online relationship would start flooding the screen with cheesy love words while chatting? He didn't understand, or did Qin Sheng just like this style?
Well, Qin Sheng insisted on marrying him just for the sake of cooperation. If Qin Sheng himself was a straight man, it would be normal for him to prefer sweet girls who are sweet-mouthed and expressive.
Noodles pouted. "These are all classic love quotes I collected and selected online. Daddy, you've never been in love, so you think they're greasy. People who are truly in love will only find them sweet!"
Xu Zhaoyi smiled. He didn't know what people in love would think if they saw it, but he knew that if the people from the Qin family who were investigating saw it, they would probably think that both he and Qin Sheng were mentally ill.
Everyone is destined to die, but we cannot die as a society.
He was resolute and unmoved, and even forgot to care about the fact that the little fat guy called him "little daddy" again.
"Okay!"
Noodles sighed with an expression that said 'I really can't do anything about you'. Xu Zhaoyi glared at it unhappily and pinched its overly anthropomorphic cartoon face.
The feel is really addictive, like a little human-shaped candy that has become a spirit. It is quite submissive and will not resist no matter how you squeeze or round it. It is very stress-relieving.
And it looks so much like him. He himself was afraid that he couldn't give birth to a baby who looked so much like himself. Although it was molded based on both his and Qin Sheng's faces, he had eyebrows, eyes, and a nose, while Qin Sheng only had a mouth, ears, and a weird skull, so this little fat thing looked more like him at first glance.
Qin Sheng leaned against the doorway with his arms folded, admiring the scene of loving father and filial son for a while before reaching out and knocking on the doorframe twice. When the two people, one large and one small, looked over, he smiled and said, "What are you busy with? Let's do it later. Come out to eat first."
At this moment, Xu Zhaoyi saw that he was still a little embarrassed, and couldn't find the right mentality to face him for a while, but the noodles were like the host, as if they didn't know what politeness was. When they heard that there was food to eat, they slid off the bed and pulled him away.
"Hurry up, hurry up, little daddy, let me tell you, my dad's cooking is delicious!" Noodles was about to cry.
When he first moved here, Qin Sheng didn't even know how to use light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. The dish was so salty that it almost crashed the high-dimensional intelligent product. Who would have thought that before long, the dishes cooked by this talented player would make the AI cry with greed.
"Do you still need to eat?" Xu Zhaoyi was being led away by the fat little thing in a hurry. He felt a bit amused and helpless. For a moment, he did not care about the slight discomfort in his heart and asked in surprise.
Before Noodles could speak, Qin Sheng, who was slowly following behind them, answered for it: "It's not hungry. It's just simulating the human sense of taste. It can taste, but it's just greedy."
Moreover, this guy does not need to absorb nutrients from food, so he has no digestive function. Whatever he eats is like "see u tomorrow", and it even... preserves freshness.
It will be in the same condition when you eat it and when you poop it out, guaranteed to be fresh.
According to Noodles' own explanation, anything swallowed by it will enter a state of time stagnation. This is to prevent food residues from rotting and stinking in its vest.
If you can get over the psychological barrier, this function can even be used as storage space.
Of course, Qin Sheng mercifully didn't say the following words because he was about to eat.
There was one more person in the family, and Xu Zhaoyi was his future partner in a strategic sense. Even if it was just a cooperative relationship, Qin Sheng specially made the first meal they had together a little richer.
Noodles was almost overwhelmed by the aroma. Although its host usually cooked, it was just the two of them, so most of the time he would just cook for the sake of showing it, and wouldn't cook so much.
It stared at the dishes on the table without blinking, and even the movement of climbing up the stool was not flexible. Finally, Xu Zhaoyi grabbed its collar and lifted it to its special seat.
"Thank you, little daddy!"
"……Need not."
Xu Zhaoyi's mouth twitched slightly before he realized that he had been called this name several times. If he asked not to be called that at this time, it would seem that he was petty and was nitpicking.
Noodles' usual disguise is a big orange cat, but now he has switched to a little fat boy. The seat is a little bit too cramped, so Xu Zhaoyi just watched his good-looking son turn into a living cat in front of him and speak human language.
"We have to change seats." As he said this, he performed a cat's paw trick for his little father, and he used chopsticks better than a human.
It thinks the humanoid vest is pretty good and plans to use it whenever it is at home in the future. The most important thing is that it can subtly enhance the relationship between their "family of three". When it repairs its colleague and returns him to Xu Zhaoyi, it hopes that the other party will not be too angry with it for the sake of their "father-son relationship".
Qin Sheng took a look at the other end of the table and said, "I'll have someone send you a new, wider version later."
Everyone in Qin's family knew that he had a cat, so it was not surprising whether he bought a lot or a little pet supplies.
Xu Zhaoyi dazedly picked up his bowl and chopsticks and took a bite of rice. Could this be achieved purely through science? Was it really not a little monster? Or had he not explored the outside world for too long?
After all, in the Dharma Ending Age, the possibility of small animals cultivating into spirits has been infinitely close to zero...
Just as he was lost in thought, an orange cat paw grabbed the serving chopsticks and put a piece of pork ribs with plum sauce into his bowl.
"Little Daddy, this is delicious!"
"good."
Xu Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and looked at the tempting spareribs in the bowl. Suddenly, he found it a little funny. Since his parents died unexpectedly when he was seven years old, this was the first time someone had served food to him at the dinner table. And the person who served the food was actually an AI in the shell of a fat orange cat.
Just as he was thinking about it, a small bowl of soup was pushed in front of him. Xu Zhaoyi raised his eyes and saw Qin Sheng curling his lips and smiling silently.
Xu Zhaoyi didn't act pretentiously. He took the drink and took two sips, then started to eat seriously.
Maybe the shamelessness and familiarity of this "father and son" infected him. Now he is actually a little accustomed to this immersive mode of getting along with the family of three and got into the role quickly.
Although the psychological shadow left by Qin Sheng in his previous life is still there, Xu Zhaoyi is always unable to completely reconcile the sinister and sickly person in his impression with the Qin Sheng in front of him. He can only remind himself to stay vigilant and take it one step at a time!
Qin Sheng noticed his change in state and raised his eyebrows slightly. He was indeed the male protagonist. He could regain his composure so quickly even when facing the enemy who killed him in his previous life. Reason was his best dowry.
After the meal, Noodles took Xu Zhaoyi and used a teleportation opportunity to leave the manor to set up a temporary residence. They also needed to forge some traces of life for the Qin family to check. It happened that the alley was remote and sparsely populated, otherwise Xu Zhaoyi would not have been chased there in his previous life, and no one would have discovered him lying there unconscious with serious injuries all night. It was just right.
Not long after, Qin Sheng received a new task that had been adjusted from the noodles in his mind - to get engaged and form an alliance with Xu Zhaoyi. The reward for the task was a Soul-Attracting Pill.
As the name suggests, this pill is used to awaken Xu Zhaoyi's spiritual roots. In the original novel, after Xu Zhaoyi awakened, he developed a mutated spiritual root that was a mixture of gold and fire. Unlike ordinary double spiritual roots, the two five elements of the mutated spiritual root can have the cultivation speed of a single spiritual root, which is an excellent qualification that is hard to come by.
It is precisely because he is so rare and awakening requires too much spiritual energy to absorb that there has been no movement in this Dharma-Ending Age with its scarce spiritual energy, causing everyone to mistakenly believe that Xu Zhaoyi is a waste who cannot cultivate.
In the original work, Xu Zhaoyi was in a difficult situation at this time. Needless to say, in his first life, he was forced to awaken when his life was on the verge of death. His spiritual roots were damaged, and only one tenth of his talent remained. That was why he was so easily killed by "Qin Sheng" in the Qin family's forbidden area.
The situation in his second life was better, but Xu Zhaoyi, who was abandoned by his family and was penniless during this period, also did not have enough resources to develop his mutated spiritual roots to the maximum extent. His pearl was covered in dust. It was not until he had another adventure in the middle of the plot and underwent baptism and the pain of his bones and marrow being cut like a thousand knives that he was able to fully stimulate his potential, break through his own bottleneck and successfully build a foundation.
Now that they have the reward of the Soul-Guiding Pill, as long as they get it as soon as possible, this problem can be easily solved.
The faster Xu Zhaoyi cultivates and the higher his talent is, the more feedback he will get.
Qin Sheng, who had originally wanted to just get married, sighed. Since the task was written like that, he might as well get engaged first, the sooner the better.
