Qi Lin stood at the door without saying a word, his index finger and thumb slowly and continuously twisting the buttons in his cloak.
At this moment, the soul link in his mind is full of ghosts' opinions about the value of the button after it is developed.
The devilish whisper in his heart that had been bothering him for so long was still chattering.
The unknowing child ran to Qi Lin with a worried look on his face. He raised his head and looked at Qi Lin who didn't know what he was thinking.
"uncle."
The child's brows knitted together, and he raised his little hand, wanting to tug on the hem of Qi Lin's cloak like he did every time he moved.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, the child retracted it suddenly, because he suddenly remembered that there was still some oil on his hand, and the child was afraid of staining Qi Lin's cloak.
The food in the house smells delicious.
Although the generator on the balcony was roaring and only a small light bulb was on in the room, the food and flowers on the table still told the onlookers the word warmth in the cold wind that carried the smell of corpses.
Qi Lin's fingers in his cloak paused.
He lowered his head and looked quietly at the child who looked up at him with a worried look on his face.
The aroma of rice continued to waft, which made Qi Lin's narrowed eyes slowly relax.
The stench of corpses is not terrible, but what is terrible is being slaughtered.
Qi Lin, who was wandering around in his previous life and letting others take advantage of him, didn't hate the smell of corpses, which in a way made him feel at ease.
But that doesn't mean he hates normal smells.
"Didn't I tell you when I left that you wanted to have a good rest?" Qi Lin's hoarse voice sounded.
When the child heard Qi Lin speak, his worried face slowly relaxed.
The child didn't know what Qi Lin did every time he went out. Although he was curious, he was too sensible and never asked.
The uncle is weird, but he is not bad. The child always thinks so.
"Well." The child showed an embarrassed smile and said nervously: "Uncle, I can't sleep, I'm still a little afraid of the dark."
"Am I useless, uncle?"
After hearing this, Qi Lin turned his head and glanced at the engineering machine in the corner that was still making buttons. With a slight movement of thought, he successfully inserted the button in the cloak into the space ring.
It can actually be absorbed by the space ring
An equipment with space attributes, and it can also be absorbed by space rings.
Qi Lin patted the child's chicken coop and sighed inaudibly.
If this child is really as useless as he said, then Qi Lin really can't think of what it means to be useful now.
"Don't always say you are useless. You must think highly of yourself, otherwise others will think you are easy to bully!"
"Have a meal."
Qi Lin took the lead to go to the dining table and sit down, pushing the hot milk on his seat in front of the children who were sitting happily.
"I'm old, I don't need milk, you're still small, you drink it."
An undeniable voice came out of Qi Lin's mouth.
The milk comes from the only two cows in the Palace of Purity, which Qi Lin specially asked the ghost to find.
"Uncle." The child was in trouble. He couldn't drink so much, but Qi Lin liked to let the child eat and drink more.
In Qi Lin's words to her children: Eat more meat and drink more milk to grow taller. This is the time when you are growing, and you cannot be unable to grow taller because of insufficient nutrition.
Qi Lin took out a shaking cup from the space ring with a wave of his hand.
It contains protein powder and rice cereal for infants and young children, which has been Qi Lin's fixed diet since he discovered the physical problem.
The former is high-quality whey protein, and the latter is high-quality carbohydrates.
Mixing these two together, and then pairing them with Duowei, is the boring diet that Qi Lin has been repeating over and over again.
In the Palace of the Past, in the military, and in the word-of-mouth of various survivor forces among the people, the skeletons are at two extremes: one is that they are well-dressed and well-fed, and the other is extremely vicious and eat two small meals per meal. child.
Except for Lao Jiu and other angry undead who wanted to kill those people, the person involved, Qi Lin, never cared about those mysterious comments that were either positive or negative. He didn't care what others thought about him.
After Qi Lin finished drinking, he put the empty cup back into the space ring.
In the space ring, there are many such shaking cups that always maintain a constant temperature, and every time Qi Lin finishes drinking, the ghost boss will refill him with new ones.
Interestingly, since meeting the child, Qi Lin has never eaten the food cooked by the child.
Qi Lin himself doesn't know whether he maintains such a diet and does not eat the food cooked by his children. Is it because he is accustomed to the diet he maintains, or because he is trying to save time, or because of pure nutrition from a physical point of view?
Or maybe it's because of persecution paranoia.
The child who didn't know this looked at the breakfast that he had been busy preparing all morning, but Qi Lin remained untouched as usual, feeling a little disappointed.
The child never thought about it too much. He always felt that the reason why Qi Lin didn't eat the food he cooked was because it didn't taste good.
Or maybe it's because Qi Lin seems unhappy all day long, and he hopes Qi Lin can be happy.
However, the child felt that he was a failure because no matter what he did, he never made Qi Lin laugh.
The child feels like a failure.
He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and picked at the carrot cubes in his egg-fried rice out of boredom: "Uncle, am I really worthless?"
Boom boom.
Qi Lin knocked on the table lightly, signaling the child to stop talking and eat.
Out of the corner of his eye, Qi Lin noticed that the child's head was lowered and he wanted to bury it in the bowl. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and put the breakfast prepared by the child on the table into the space ring: "Don't waste it if it smells delicious. Be diligent and run a household. It’s a good character. The space ring has the function of constant temperature. I may be busy these two days, so I’ll have it as a midnight snack later.”
The child's emotions were always on his face. He raised his head suddenly and asked happily: "Does it really smell good, uncle?"
"Really, you have to eat well, otherwise you won't grow taller."
Seeing the rice particles stuck to the corner of the child's mouth, Qi Lin slowly stood up and wiped it off for him. Then he silently turned away from the dining table and went to the sofa in the living room. He subconsciously took out his black leather notebook, opened it and looked at it quietly.
Qi Lin listened to the sound of the child devouring his food, and his absent-minded gaze quietly shifted to the child who was eating happily.
He looked at the child quietly, his heart constantly conflicting with the devil's whispers.
'It is difficult to obtain space rings. You only have four of them so far! '
'But this thing, in a sense, means a space ring! If combined with his mechanical army that can replicate mechanical power, this is a mobile logistics weapon! This is unlimited firepower! '
'Brother, don't be stupid! '
"Your golden scroll is just a promise signed under the witness of the will of the earth. That is not safe!"
'Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst! '
"Only the dead are trustworthy in this world!"
'Kill him! '
"You now have an engineering machine, and that kid gave you the authority to be the first subordinate. You can only ensure it by killing him."
"I'll show you who is the owner of this body!" Qi Lin sneered in his heart: "Just scream as hard as you can."
The devil's whisper in his heart slowly sank, but Qi Lin didn't feel the slightest sense of victory.
For Qi Lin now, Basluo and various forces in Southern Zhili have lost the qualification to be hostile to him.
But this demonic whisper that he doesn't know how long it will stay with him for, and he doesn't know how to cure, is always the enemy he is always wary of.
Time passed and the child finished his meal quickly.
When the child was holding an empty plate and wanted to wash it, Qi Lin called out to him.
"No need to wash the dishes, hurry up and go to bed. We will move when you wake up."
According to the predetermined plan, four hours later, when Qi Lin woke up, he would wake up to Black Wind, then go directly into the city, find the strange young general, and ask him to hand over Zong Heng, the owner of the black Tang Hengdao.
All the clues he had collected so far pointed to the owner of the knife.
But the man named Zong Heng could never be found.
Qi Lin is now worried that Zong Hengbie died at the hands of the demon species.
If he really died at the hands of a demon, then Qi Lin would have no choice but to go to the house and ask that strange young general.
"ah?"
The child obediently put the plate back on the table. He didn't understand why he had to move again after just moving here.
Qi Lin did not go into details about why he moved, but just said softly: "Actually, you don't have to have any psychological burden, and don't think that I am treating you well. This is just a deal. You give me black hole fireworks, and I will give you shelter."
"So, you have to enjoy it generously."
Qi Lin looked at the child who kept scratching the head of the chicken coop and said slowly: "You deserve this."
"do you understand?"
The child obviously doesn't understand, otherwise the hairstyle wouldn't look more like a chicken coop.
Qi Lin looked at the child who was thinking hard, and felt that this child was becoming more and more like himself when he was young.
He glanced at the engineering machine in the corner that was still making buttons.
There are more than a dozen finished buttons piled next to it, each one is of purple quality.
Each one means that Qi Lin's undead souls can immediately prepare themselves with weapons the moment they walk out of the space of the dead.
Each one means that countless tactics are emerging around the application.
Qi Lin thought of the way the child looked when he asked him for materials.
The worried and regretful little face was full of guilt.
The child at that time was very much like when he was in school, he would linger at the door for a long time before leaving home, wondering whether he should have living expenses.
Many times, in most cases, children who are independent and sensible when they are young may have more psychological problems when they grow up.
Being independent too early will increase anxiety and fear, and it is easy to form a people-pleaser personality. You will be overly considerate of other people's feelings and evaluations, feel numb to your own feelings, and become indifferent to others when you grow up. This situation is often irreversible and will eventually end. It becomes a double trauma in the original family.
Behind a very independent child, it may not be independence, but a lack of love.
Before you enjoy being loved, you must learn to love others, understand others, and tolerate others.
People who have to resist everything by themselves are actually very insecure.
For this type of person, even if he receives a gift, his first reaction is not joy, but repayment.
Qi Lin stopped the unpleasant memories in his mind, tapped the table with his fingers slightly, sighed softly, and took out a purple scroll from the space ring.
Mechanical Manufacturing Scroll: Hard Iron Generator.
This thing can load any mechanical creation with a hard iron module, which has only one effect: completely blocking any damage.
Note that it completely blocks all damage!
In the previous life, this thing was called the mechanic's treasure.
Although the hard iron module is a consumable item with a limit on the number of times it can be consumed, in Qi Lin's view, it is undoubtedly a powerful talent comparable to the one found in his inheritance information, which can transfer all the damage suffered by the body to the undead under his command. .
Qi Lin vaguely remembered that when he first obtained this thing, the mechanic was still his imaginary enemy.
He originally wanted to destroy this thing to prevent it from becoming a big obstacle to him if there was a conflict with the military in the future.
He even thought that if the military took the lead and failed to find the mechanic, he would use this thing to lure the mechanic out and then kill him.
But now, Qi Lin took it out on his own initiative.
Everything is changing.
Qi Lin put the mechanical manufacturing scroll on the table. He looked at the child who didn't know what was going on and looked a little confused with a dull face. He waved and took out all the hard iron he had recently obtained.
He had only obtained three copies of this purple material from the demon species.
"This is a mechanical type of manufacturing reel."
Qi Lin pointed at the scroll on the table, and then at the dark crystals with purple light piled under the table. He looked at the frowning child and said softly: "Hard iron is used to match the machinery on the scroll."
"I'm very satisfied with the Xiao Di No. 1 you made for me. I won't take it from you in vain."
"I'll trade these two things with you. Trust me, you won't suffer a loss."
Qi Lin didn't explain the importance of the hard iron generator to his children. He just insisted on his consistent ridiculous principles and insisted on being himself.
"uncle."
The child just glanced at the hard iron generator and looked away.
He pursed his lips, and his furrowed brows looked a little sad.
At this moment, the child ignored the surprise he had prepared and hadn't said yet. How could his uncle know about it?
He was only sad.
The child slowly lowered his head under Qi Lin's doubtful eyes, and whispered something that Qi Lin didn't quite understand for a while: "I don't want candy, I just want my uncle to be happy and smile more."
"After my parents passed away, grandma often fell ill and medicine was very expensive."
"I want to make grandma happy, so I will take the test with a score of 100, so that the teacher will reward me with a certificate and a big red flower that can make grandma happy."
"Once, my grandma said that if I could get 100 points in every exam this semester, I would be rewarded with one minute in the supermarket to buy whatever I wanted."
"You can buy anything you want like candy."
"I managed to score 100 points in every exam that semester, but my grandma was sick and hospitalized at that time."
"But she hasn't forgotten it."
"She gave money to the neighbor's aunt and asked her to take me to the supermarket to buy whatever I wanted in one minute."
"I pushed the cart in a big circle in the supermarket and only took one candy. Later, my neighbor touched my head and laughed at me: You are so stupid, why did you take just such a small amount?"
"The people next to me also laughed at me, but they didn't know it, and I never told my aunt."
"I know our family has no money."
"That's why I deliberately pushed the car in a big circle and only took one candy."
The child lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and choked intermittently.
Qi Lin's hands in his cloak tightened, and he understood what the child said.
"Hahahaha!" Qi Lin suddenly laughed loudly and rarely, stood up and came to the child and slowly squatted down to his level. His skinny palms stretched out from the cloak to hold up the child's wrinkled face.
"I was stupid."
Qi Lin looked at the child carefully.
"I shouldn't have thought you were asking for candy."
Qi Lin smiled and touched his chicken coop, blinked and said, "A kid who can get 100 points in the exam."
"How can you be stupid?"
Qi Lin rubbed the engine oil on the child's chicken coop head with his fingers. According to the report from the ghost responsible for guarding the place, the child got it when he modified Xiaodi No. 1 last night.
The poor child has limited energy and cannot use mechanical force casually as he is rich and powerful.
In some matters that can be solved by natural means, the child always saves his mechanical energy, because only in this way can he prepare surprises for his uncle faster.
Qi Lin looked at the child who was still a little disappointed that he gave him the hard iron generator.
"I never thought you were stupid." Qi Lin patted his chicken head and said with a smile: "Be happy, you see, I am laughing now too."
"No matter how the world changes in the future."
Qi Lin smiled, his eyes squinting together. He wanted to say that no matter how the world changed, he must hold on to his strength, so as not to become a piece of fish on someone else's chopping board.
Qi Lin's words to the children have always been cold and useful.
But at this moment, when the words came to his lips, Qi Lin changed his words.
"No matter how the world changes, no matter how big the world is, you must make yourself happy!"
Qi Lin was smiling when suddenly the child stumbled. If Qi Lin hadn't caught him quickly with quick eyes and hands, he would have fallen heavily to the ground.
"what happened?"
Qi Lin frowned and quickly checked the child's panel information. The real-time status of the Chosen One could often be used for medical diagnosis.

"Why is the upper limit of physical fitness reduced by 0.1?"
"Isn't the level ten skill a biological heavy armored vehicle?"
The moment Qi Lin saw the child's panel, his brows instantly rose.
When the child was at level 10, Qi Lin, based on his past life experience, suggested that the child choose a biological heavy armored vehicle, which is a very powerful large-scale war weapon.
Qi Lin didn't think that the child could build that thing now, let alone let the child build that thing to help him. He just reciprocated and gave the child a little help.
Qi Lin, who had various things to deal with all this time, had never investigated the children.
Speaking of which, this was Qi Lin's second time to investigate the child's information besides the first time he met the child.
The lowering of the upper limit of physical fitness made Qi Lin immediately think of his undead field.
At the same time, I also thought about what the ghost reported that the child was a little tired and unsteady as if he was about to faint.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" The child looked at Qi Lin, who was frowning and looking at him, and didn't understand why Qi Lin, who was still smiling before, suddenly became worried.
"Uncle, I think your smile is beautiful."
The child grinned and said, "Uncle, why don't you smile more?"
"It's really beautiful!"
Qi Lin didn't speak, just looked at the child quietly, thinking about the many things brought about by the realm of the undead.
After thinking for a long time, Qi Lin, who had made an important decision, slowly relaxed his brows and looked at the child with a smile on his lips: "Hey, no wonder."
Immediately afterwards, when the child was confused, Qi Lin took out a golden scroll.
