Chapter 220: Departure
Chapter 220: Departure
Fortunately, the child was fine after a while. Emotions come and go quickly. I am not good at coaxing children, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to coax someone, but he’s a little unsure about his attitude. What if he uses the attitude of coaxing a child and the kid calls him a stupid uncle?
He doesn't need to be reminded of his age so often. Damn it, he really wants to go back to his youth when the kids called him brother. Time takes its toll.
Ling Cheng was obviously the same as the dean said, a lively person, and soon he became interested in the system.
Ling Cheng: "Uncle Lingshi, that thing on your neck is a weasel, right? Why would you keep one? Even if you did, I've only seen people keeping white weasels, not yellow weasels."
Zero Hour: "Well, this is due to historical reasons, but Tongzi is very smart, so it's worth it to get it."
System: You are praising me, host.
Zero Hour: I’m praising you.
System: Humph, this system is of course the smartest.
Ling Cheng became interested. How smart could it be? Could it be a spirit?
Faced with Ling Cheng's curiosity, Ling Shi directly handed the problem over to the system to solve. The weasel on the shoulder was taken off and placed in the child's hands.
System: Are you just going to give me away like that? How much should I show? Do I need to pretend?
Zero Hour: Isn’t it enough to just understand what people say? Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100, that’s about it.
System: Meow meow.
Ling Cheng did not disappoint Ling Shi. The first thing he thought of was the addition and subtraction of common pet skills.
It was normal for the system to tap out the corresponding answer on his hand, but when the numbers became tens or even twenty, because the amount was too large, the system simply changed its method.
Originally, Ling Cheng had asked this question intentionally with the intention of teasing Tongzi, but he didn't expect the system to jump back to Lingshi and slap the phone.
Then at midnight he opened the calculator on his phone and entered the numbers. Ling Cheng took the phone and took a look. It was shocking. Could it be that this weasel used a calculator to calculate?
No, it seems that he is very good at using a calculator, but when he opened the calculator record, there was no such formula. It must have been calculated by Tongzi himself.
It can calculate so quickly, is it really an ordinary weasel or the Wong Tai Sin who has become a spirit?
Ling Cheng asked this question with clear eyes, but Ling Shi gave an answer that was more revealing than true.
"We don't believe in feudal superstitions. Animals are not allowed to become spirits. Look, it didn't ask you whether it looks like a human or a god."
Ling Shi acknowledged the peculiarity of the system and did not deny that everything that had just happened was indeed the result of Tongzi's ability.
Ling Cheng: "That's really interesting. I didn't expect the weasels you raised were so interesting. It must be fun to follow you."
Ling Shi: "Well, you should definitely hang out with my kid more. I'll arrange for you to attend the elementary school he attends."
Ling Cheng showed a disappointed expression. Not to mention elementary school, he had already learned all the knowledge of high school. If he could be more cautious, he would have skipped a grade and gone to university long ago.
Ling Shi: "Don't worry, going to school with him will definitely not make you bored. Conan will always encounter various cases."
"Besides, you were adopted into my family. Why don't you call me daddy?"
Ling Cheng stuck out his tongue.
"I don't want to. I haven't approved of you yet. This is a probation period. If I don't like you there, I'll go back."
Ling Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, there is also a trial period. That's not a difficult problem to solve."
Although Ling Cheng is smart, he obviously has a child's nature, which is quite similar to Ling Shi, so Ling Shi can guarantee that he will like running around with Conan.
Perhaps in the future there will be a situation where two children need to be caught, but with Ling Cheng's skills, there is no need to worry about safety issues.
After all, he is a kid who just graduated from the hospital. Although he looks harmless now, he is just a smart kid like Conan.
The reason why he is better than Conan is his fighting ability. If nothing unexpected happens, according to Dean Wang's description, he can knock down ten Conans and even fight with Ran Mouri.
Zero Hour: I feel like I’m really mediocre. When I was exchanging skills for myself in the system mall, other twelve-year-old kids were already this good.
System: No, host, the fact that you can encounter this system shows that you are not mediocre. Mediocre people don’t have cheats.
Zero Hour: Okay, you’re right. You’ve coaxed me into submission.
I was rushing all the way when I suddenly remembered,
“Do you speak Japanese?”
Ling Cheng: "Of course, I've learned other languages before. The academy requires that you master at least three foreign languages besides English."
"I'm lazy, so I picked three that are easier to learn. For example, the oldest girl among the five just mentioned knows five and is planning to add another one."
Midnight: ...
Kids nowadays are really promising. Unlike him, they won’t take the initiative to learn at all, and this is exchanged by the system.
Lingshi: "That's good. You probably know that I'm currently living in Neon. I cook whatever you want, just tell me."
"Also, I'm currently unemployed, but I'm involved in some interesting things, so I don't plan to start a business for the time being."
Ling Cheng nodded. Since Ling Shi didn't say it clearly, he didn't ask any further questions. Ling Shi didn't want to say that it was useless for him to ask. Anyway, he would be found by Ling Shi when he arrived at the place.
It's not that he doesn't have curiosity, he just knows how to be patient. This is also what Ling Shi saw in him, so Ling Cheng didn't ask any further questions and continued to test what other skills the system had. Ling Shi couldn't help but praise him.
Zero Hour: He understands the ways of the world much better than Conan, and he never misses any known information at hand.
Since one road doesn't work, he will build a new road himself. The system that is being tested at this moment is asking for help from Zero Hour.
System: Help, help, host! What should I do if he gives me a reading comprehension question?
Midnight: It’s scrambled eggs with salad. He can’t understand what weasels are saying, so you can just give him a perfunctory response.
System: Yes.
The stupid system tilted its head in confusion, but its reaction after a while convinced Ling Cheng that the system couldn't understand difficult sentences.
Who made him fail to think that the system was silent for so long because it was asking for help from Zero Hour through telepathy? A normal person would not have thought of it, so it's not the child's fault.
They struggled for a long time, and when they got on the plane, Ling Cheng had already fallen asleep after eating. No matter how energetic the child was, he couldn't withstand the hardships of the journey.
The system finally returned to Zero's shoulders and complained to him with a sigh, saying that as the host, Zero was too cold for not rescuing the system.
Lingshi shrugged to show his innocence. After all, Ling Cheng had concluded from just a few minutes of chatting that it was difficult to get any information out of Lingshi, so he simply tried to figure out what the system was capable of.
And he really came to a few conclusions. Ling Cheng judged through the system that Ling Shi could definitely not be an ordinary grocery store owner.
The smell of shower gel on Tongzi's body indicates that Lingshi is a mysophobia or a pet lover who takes a bath with his pets. There are also things that need to be concealed, such as bloodstains and the smell of blood.
Tongzi can communicate in normal conversations, so why does Lingshi, as a trainer, need Tongzi to learn these skills? This shows that Lingshi may need Tongzi to do things that people cannot do, such as transmitting information and eavesdropping.
