"Okay, after we finish eating, I'll take you to practice your shooting."
...
Cheng Anlang carefully pushed open the door to Cheng Dahua's room, fearing he might see some chaotic scene. Excited sounds came from inside; the mutated beasts were facing away from the door, constantly wriggling. Cheng Anlang quietly crept closer and saw that they were playing a game of Fruit Ninja on the screen…
Cheng Dahua felt a large shadow fall over it. It looked up and saw Cheng Anlang: "Aww?"
Have you finished pollinating?
It leaned in and sniffed Cheng Anlang: It's probably over, the smell is so similar...
Cheng Anlang casually chopped an apple on the screen for Cheng Dahua and said, "It's time to eat breakfast."
Cheng Dahua, engrossed in playing games, opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Ouch!"
Hey me.
Cheng Anlang patted it and paused the conversation: "Let's go eat at the restaurant."
After dinner, Zhang Mingyu took Cheng Anlang to the shooting range. Cheng Dahua put on a hat and went skiing with Yaya and Xigua at the artificial ski slope behind the villa, falling all over the place.
Finally, we managed to get back to the Imperial Star in a spaceship before midnight.
Cheng Anlang and Zhang Mingyu hugged, and Cheng Dahua returned to the dormitory.
"Ouch."
Once Mommy leaves, I can sleep in the same room as Daddy.
"Ouch."
I want to throw my mom away and get rid of her.
"Ouch."
No, without Mommy, who will protect Daddy?
"Ouch."
That's right, I can protect Dad too.
"Ouch."
No, without Mommy, who will take us to hot springs, ski slopes, and shooting ranges?
Cheng Anlang tapped its head: "What are you thinking about, like a little fool?"
"Ouch." Cheng Dahua licked Cheng Anlang's face, feeling conflicted. Being a child is so hard.
Cheng Anlang placed Cheng Dahua on the table and looked at its S-grade flowerpot. The S-grade material lived up to its name; it hadn't been scratched at all after falling so many times on the ski slopes and was still as clean and new as ever.
"Get some rest and prepare for the final match in a few days."
"Awooooo!"
————
A few days later, the final competition of the junior group officially began. The arena was packed with spectators, and the intense shouts could be heard even in the dormitory building.
"They're here! They're here!"
"Ahhh, I've invested all my savings in Cheng Dahua, don't let me down!"
"Crocodile is not easy to deal with. Its use of fire is really exquisite, no less than that of a level four mutated beast."
His opponent was Ke Jin, the dim-witted guy who got into a fight as soon as he arrived at school. His mutated beast was Crocodile Horse, who was already at the peak of level three and was rumored to be about to break through to level four.
Ke Jin and Cheng Anlang stepped onto the battle platform. Their platform was no longer as small as it was during the points-based competition; it was now the size of two training fields, with a circular grassy area in the middle and a stream surrounding it. Crocodile Horse wasn't in the water; it was on land, staring blankly at Cheng Dahua. Cheng Anlang and Ke Jin faced each other from the command platform, communicating only through the screen on the platform. Ke Jin's eyes were fixed on the screen, as if he wanted to see through Cheng Anlang. His voice came through the communicator in front of him: "We meet again."
Cheng Anlang said calmly, "Hmm..."
Ke Jin roared, "You're doomed this time! I'm going to burn Cheng Dahua to ashes!"
Cheng Anlang: "I don't think it will work..."
Kokin retorted loudly, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think!"
Cheng Anlang looked at him like he was an idiot: "Oh."
The two men's voices could be heard through the loudspeakers around the Colosseum.
"Korkin is so domineering, I love him."
“Cheng Anlang should also be more assertive and not so calm.”
"Ouch."
Cheng Dahua yawned and lowered her head to drink the water from the stream behind her.
Cheng Anlang didn't want to waste any more words and pressed the red "ready" button on the command platform. Ke Jin wanted to say a few more words, but couldn't think of anything to say. He pursed his lips and could only press "ready".
The protective lasers instantly rose up, crackling and covering the entire battle platform.
"It's about to begin! It's about to begin!"
"—!"
Crocodile Reindeer instantly launched an attack, opening its mouth to let out a silent roar. Hot air gathered in its mouth, slowly solidifying into golden-red flames.
