Shi Nian only cared about one thing, "Is it fun?"
"You'll know whether it's fun or not after you experience it. What I say doesn't count." Shi Yiyu didn't give him a clear answer. "Besides, you're not a contestant. You're too young."
Shi Nian was puzzled, "Then what should I do?"
Shi Yiyu: "Your grandfather needs an assistant to help him make a bionic man. He asked me to ask if you would be willing to be his assistant."
After Shi Nian started kindergarten, she would only stay at Mr. Zhong's place for the whole day on Saturdays and Sundays. Shi Yiyu wanted Shi Nian to spend more time with Mr. Zhong, and this competition was the perfect opportunity.
"Assistant? I can do that!" Shi Nian said confidently, "I can help Grandpa with a lot of things. I'm really good at tightening screws."
Shi Nian had been tightening screws for Master Zhong for a year and was already quite experienced. Even if he were to be placed outside, with a year of work experience, Shi Nian could beat a large number of people to tighten screws in the factory.
Shi Yiyu chuckled and rubbed his little head. "The preparation period for this competition is three years. If Little Rose really wants to be Grandpa's assistant, she'll need to spend three years helping Grandpa make a bionic man. Are you willing, Little Rose?"
Yu Luhan frowned, not quite agreeing, "Three years, it will be very tiring."
Shi Nian counted on his fingers how long three years was. He was only four years old this year, and three years seemed ridiculously long to him.
But as long as he thought about the fact that he had been making bionic people with his grandfather for the past three years, Shi Nian felt that it was acceptable.
"It's okay, father." Shi Nian smoothed the wrinkles between Yu Luhan's brows and said with a smile, "I really like being a bionic man with grandpa. It won't be tiring."
Shi Nian insisted on being the assistant, so Yu Luhan had no choice but to agree.
The next day, Shi Nian went to school in the morning. After Sharp became the homeroom teacher, Kelais and Daniel were allowed to stay with Shi Nian, but they could only stay in Shi Nian's school bag or book hole.
After experiencing danger together, the relationship between Shi Nian and Enoch Bai Zemo took a step further.
Although Enoch and Bai Zemo were still quarreling, Shi Nian played a mediating role between them, and a very stable relationship was achieved between the three of them.
One day after class, Enoch suddenly said, "Niannian, my dad wants me to ask you how to distinguish between your dad and your uncle. He can't tell them apart."
Bai Zemo nodded distressedly, "I've seen the master of the house before, but after meeting your father, I can't tell them apart anymore."
Shi Yiyu and Shi Yichu look exactly the same. It was fine before Bai Zemo met Shi Yiyu, but after meeting him, he can't tell them apart at all.
"My dad and my uncle?" Shi Nian was surprised. "Why can't you tell them apart? They're easy to recognize."
Bai Zemo thought he had some special method and asked with great anticipation, "How do I recognize him?"
"Use your eyes." Shi Nian pointed at his eyes seriously, "You can tell at a glance."
Bai Zemo, Enoch: "..."
This skill may require blood relationship as a basis, so they definitely cannot learn it.
In the afternoon, Shi Nian didn't attend class and followed Shi Yiyu directly to the Apsu Tower.
Master Zhong was waiting for them in the laboratory. When he saw Shi Nian, he immediately hugged him with a happy face and shouted, "Grandpa's darling, darling, why have you lost weight? Huh? Come on, come to Grandpa and have some cake."
Shi Nian pinched her chubby little face and said, "No, Grandpa, Nian Nian gained two kilograms, but she didn't lose weight."
"It's only two pounds. Our children are at the age of growing up. Two pounds is not enough." Mr. Zhong took out the small cake he made himself, "You should eat more."
In the eyes of the elders, even if a child is as fat as a small pig, he is still plump and cute. However, Shi Nian's body shape is far from that of a small pig, so Mr. Zhong naturally thinks he is too thin and pitiful.
Shi Yiyu watched as Elder Zhong smiled as he fed Shi Nian, his eyes full of smiles. He squatted down in front of Shi Nian, his eyes level with his own. "Little Rose, you'll be in kindergarten in the mornings and learning about bionics with Grandpa in the afternoons. I'll teach you the lessons you've missed."
Being able to balance study and hobbies at the same time, Shi Nian was extremely happy. He hugged Shi Yiyu's waist and said excitedly, "Dad is the best dad, I love you the most!"
Shi Yiyu smiled and hugged him.
Old Zhong looked at the happy scene of the father and son getting along together, and tears flashed in his cloudy eyes. In his distant memory, there was also a little guy who was about the same age as Shi Nian.
The little girl in the white dress would stand on tiptoe beside his workbench and watch him work. He would rub her little head and ask, "Xianyun, what do you want to do now that you've grown up?"
Shi Xianyun would look at him with dark eyes, sneer, and slap his hand away. "You've already arranged everything for me, and now you're asking me about it. Don't you think it's hypocritical?"
"Do you really want to know? Then I'll tell you, the first thing I'm going to do when I grow up..." Shi Xianyun said slowly, "is to kill my father..."
Mr. Zhong was awakened by the hateful words. His wrinkled hands curled up. The childish but cruel words penetrated time and space and pierced his eardrums, making him tremble all over.
After Shi Nian said goodbye to Shi Yiyu, he turned around and found that Old Zhong was staring blankly with his head down. He called him "Grandpa" several times, but Old Zhong seemed not to hear him and was still immersed in his own thoughts.
"Grandpa." Shi Nian worriedly held Zhong Lao's hand. Noticing that his hands were very cold, she quickly rubbed them with her own small hands to warm them up. "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Elder Zhong finally came to his senses and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Sorry, dear, I was just thinking about something."
Shi Nian nodded blankly. He held the old man's hand with both of his hands and said, "Grandpa, your hands are so cold."
Old Zhong smiled and rubbed his little head. "Because grandpa is old, that's how old people are."
So that's how it is?
Shi Nian looked at Mr. Zhong's aged face, turned around and ran to the temperature controller. He stepped on a stool to turn up the temperature and said with a smile, "This way, Grandpa won't be cold anymore."
Mr. Zhong's heart was filled with tenderness, and the tears he had been holding back seemed to be about to burst out again because of Shi Nian's little action.
Elder Zhong picked up Shi Nian from the chair and walked him to the workbench. He took out a bracelet from an exquisite box. The bracelet was thin and long, and it looked very cute when tied on Shi Nian's hand.
He then took out two small silver balls and hung them on the bracelet. As long as he shook his hands with a moment of thought, the silver balls would collide with each other and make a crisp sound.
Kelais was sitting on Shi Nian's shoulder. When he saw the silver ball, he was stunned for a few seconds, "This..."
He seemed to have seen it on someone's wrist.
A red light flashed in the mechanical prosthetic eyes installed by Mr. Zhong, but Les's program was disordered for a few seconds, and the words he wanted to say were lost.
Shi Nian turned to look at Kelais, "What's wrong? What?"
"Kelais is so sleepy." Kelais yawned in a humane way, climbed down from Shi Nian's shoulder, and nestled in Shi Nian's pocket. "Kelais is going to sleep, good night, Nian Nian."
Shi Nian: “……?”
Why is Kelais acting so weird?
Elder Zhong put two silver balls on the bracelet. Shi Nian suddenly felt all the strength in his body disappear. His body went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhong was prepared and picked him up.
Shi Nian didn't have the energy to care about Kelais anymore, so she leaned weakly on Zhong Lao's shoulder and said, "Grandpa, I don't have the strength."
Elder Zhong raised his hand, watching the bottom of the white bead turn red, and rubbed Shi Nian's head soothingly, "It's okay, baby, this is only temporary, it will be fine soon."
Shi Nian nodded reluctantly. After a few minutes, he felt his body slowly regaining strength. The excess mental energy disappeared, and the discomfort that had been accumulating in his chest was swept away.
He was surprised by the changes in his body. After landing, he jumped twice. The mental power that should have increased rapidly did not cause any burden to Shi Nian this time, as if it was sucked away by something.
"Grandpa, I'm not feeling bad anymore?!"
Shi Nian excitedly shared the good news with Mr. Zhong, her eyebrows curved in a smile, and her round, beautiful eyes were filled with joy and happiness.
"I'm glad you're not feeling uncomfortable." Elder Zhong said with a smile, raising his hand and pointing at the two small beads. "This is a spiritual energy collector. It can absorb your excess spiritual energy and store it. It also has another function."
Shi Nian was expectant. "What's the function?"
Elder Zhong took out another energy ball and injected spiritual power into it. "When the energy ball is full, the color will turn red. If you need it, use a new one. The full energy ball can be used as a weapon."
Shi Nian stroked the smooth little bead. "Weapon? Is it? Very powerful?"
"You're really powerful." Elder Zhong rubbed his little head. "This is all your mental power. You can detonate it at any time."
In order to help Shi Nian master the use of the energy ball, Mr. Zhong took Shi Nian to Wayne's laboratory.
Wayne looked at the old man and the young man with a confused look on his face as they swaggered into his laboratory and threw a ball at the wall he had just repaired.
"Bang!"
There was a gust of dust and a big hole appeared in the wall.
Elder Zhong looked down lovingly and asked Shi Nian, "Have you learned it, dear?"
Shi Nian nodded blankly, "Learn, learn it?"
Just as Mr. Zhong was about to take Shi Nian away with satisfaction, Wayne looked at his laboratory which had become tattered again. The wind from the holes in his lab coat blew against it, making it look inexplicably desolate and miserable.
But Wayne's face was filled with excitement. The wall of his laboratory was specially built. Even if it was bombarded with various weapons, it would take several bombs to make a hole. But Mr. Zhong only bombarded it once.
It's still a small ball.
What a terrifying high-tech weapon!
"Master Zhong!" Wayne chased him out, holding Master Zhong's hand with a burning gaze. "We're actually from the same sect. Master Zhong, please accept me as your disciple! I will definitely bring honor to our family and won't let you down!"
Shi Nian held Mr. Zhong's hand and looked at Wayne in confusion.
"Why are you going crazy for no reason?" Old Zhong slapped Wayne's hand away in annoyance. "I only teach us to behave. Get out of the way."
Wayne's mind was working rapidly, his eyes fell on the little Omega, and he slowly smiled.
Shi Nian's intuition told him that something was wrong.
He hurriedly pulled Zhong Lao, "Grandpa, let's go back..."
"Teacher!" Wei En picked up Shi Nian and put his face in front of him, saying excitedly, "Little Niannian, I recognize you as my teacher. Can I learn from you? As long as you take me with you when you attend class, I will audit it."
Shi Nian: "..."
Old Zhong was so angry that he hit him with his cane and cursed, "You bastard, you are Yi Yu's student, are you messing up the order of seniority?!"
Shi Nian was frightened by Wayne so much that she was still stunned when she returned to Master Zhong's laboratory.
His appearance made Old Zhong very distressed. He held him in his arms and soothed him, "My dear, you are scared, right? Grandpa is here, don't be afraid."
"Oh, look at that devil Wayne, he scared my family so much that his face turned pale. It's okay, it's okay. Grandpa will protect us."
