Chapter 121: Project Eagle (2)
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Luo Xiaocao will be five years old.
Ever since Luo Xiaocao was able to walk staggeringly, Rob asked him to follow him to the garbage dump to pick up things.
Mental power potions are very expensive, and they are not something that can be consumed by the poor people living in the 12th district.
If Rob wants to exercise Luo Xiaocao's mental power, he can only use the stupidest and cheapest way - to consume his energy, so that he will be tired and exhausted every day, and his mental power will always increase the next day.
Because it takes a lot of money to test his mental power at the registration point, Rob hopes to get a satisfactory answer at that time, so he must exercise Luo Xiaocao from an early age, and then let him take the mental power test after he is ready for him!
Rob used to be a falconder, which is why he can afford to marry five wives, so he has no doubt that Luo Xiaocao, as his son, will not have the talent to become an eagle flyer.
"He will surely regain my former glory. ”
When he was done, Rob would sit on the concrete floor, staring blankly at the sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wen Shu's small body was carrying a huge backpack, and his little feet stepped on the ground step by step, his expression was resolute, and he was not like a five-year-old child.
Lowe would leave work earlier, and watched his brother walk with a load from afar, and wanted to run over to help, but he hesitated a little when he thought of his father's warning.
"It's all for his good. ”
Rob put it this way.
"If he can't exhaust the last bit of strength and the last bit of energy every day, his mental power will not grow!"
Rob is from the past, and he started such training at a very young age because he was poor, so he didn't think Luo Xiaocao couldn't do it.
For Wen Shu, since he realized that there was no trace of aura in this world, he resigned himself to obey Rob's arrangement.
She knows that in this cruel and dilapidated and hierarchical world, if she wants to live, or even want to live well, and become a flying eagle, she is probably the only way out.
Compared with Luo Wei, who is strong and strong, Luo Xiaocao's physical identity is weak, which may be born like this, or it may be due to malnutrition.
Wen Shu knew that his spiritual power was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and as for how strong it was, he had no way to measure the spiritual power of other people, so he couldn't compare and draw conclusions.
Rob's way of training mental power is very old-fashioned and hard, but I have to say that it is indeed effective, and it will not have very strong and obvious side effects like taking medicine!
Five-year-old Wen Shu could feel that her spiritual power was increasing day by day, and the most obvious point was that it was becoming easier and easier for her to cultivate spiritual spells, if it weren't for the fact that this body was too thin, she could have cultivated faster.
Although this world cannot cultivate immortals, Wen Shu's memory still has a lot of spiritual power training methods that have been taught by Wen Wuchang, and with Robb's physical training by mistake, Wen Shu, who is only five years old, has reached the lower level of the platform building realm!
Now, she doesn't need to use her hands, just mental power, and she can easily kill the mutant rats everywhere in the garbage dump!
The Rob family lives in a large, dilapidated tin can, which resembles an upside-down can.
There are countless tin houses called capsule houses in the slums, and the one where the Rob family lives is obviously second-hand, the outer layer of the house is rusty, the windows have been repaired many times, and in the winter, there are often hunting cold winds rushing in, and in the summer, when it rains acidically outside, the people inside have to hurriedly put on raincoats.
Wen Shu said hello to his brother and walked to his small room, which was actually a small old cupboard with a thin blanket and a small desk on top of it, and a large bookshelf next to it, and Luo Wei's bed on the flat top of the bookshelf.
Wen Shu took down the huge basket behind him and placed it on the "bed", which was full of ore scrap that the caretaker of the garbage dump did not need.
Although the scrap was worthless in the eyes of the guards, Wen Shu knew that this ore was not only useless, but also highly mentally corrosive.
She would bring a basket of these scraps home every day, and both Rob and Lowe thought he had a quirk of collecting stones, but they didn't know that she had to use this terrible stone every day to train herself, and use her meager mental power to fight against it, so as to increase the defensive nature of her mental power!
Today was no different from usual, the family, Rob, Lowe, Luo Xiaocao, and Rob's father, who worked as a porter at the steamship dock, and Rob's own brother, the five of them did not say a word, gathered around the table, waiting for Rob to tear open a bag of "supplies".
The "supply" was a palm-sized biscuit that, when Rob irrigated it with boiling water, quickly began to swell into a cake the size of an adult's head.
Rob used a knife to divide the cake into five parts, and the five of them began to eat quietly.
In such years, no one wants to waste a little food, and everyone eats with a serious look, even a little solemnity.
For the poor people in District 12, being able to eat a full meal every day is a great enjoyment of life!
After filling his stomach, Rob, who had been tired all day, hurriedly got into the bed, and Lowe turned on the TV and watched the advertisements for a while—because he didn't pay for paid programs, the free TV could only watch free ads.
Wen Shu burrowed into her cupboard and continued to wrestle with the corrosion of the ore in her hand.
In the middle of the night, everyone slept with a snoring sound, Wen Shu did not feel sleepy, and he was still "fighting" against the ore when he got up and was serious.
"Babble. ”
Suddenly, Wen Shu's ears moved, and he clearly saw a short man poking out through the crack in the door, opening the door easily, tiptoeing silently, and entering the room, he was about to start with an unopened bag of "supplies" on the table.
"Smack. ”
Wen Shu turned on the electric light, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the thief with an innocent expression: "Who are you? Why did you steal from our family?"
The thief was taken aback, he had stolen all the way from the south, and it was the first time he was discovered, and it turned out to be a little boy of four or five years old!
His eyes moved, and when he saw that he hadn't woken up the adults in his house, he immediately stepped back cautiously and said, "I'm sorry, I think I may have gone to the wrong door." ”
In the 3rd district of the pauper, theft is a capital offense, and the thief's heart is pounding, and he holds a dagger tightly in his hand on his back, and as soon as he sees that the child on the other side has the intention of shouting, he will immediately shoot the knife in his hand and pierce his throat!
Wen Shu didn't act rashly, he looked at the thief tentatively, and his mental power gradually approached his head, but he found that the other party did not have the slightest sense of obstruction.
It seems that the mental power of ordinary people is not as strong as she imagined.
After verifying his idea, Wen Shu was no longer polite, and his reasoning turned into an awl, stabbing like a thief's head.
The thief only felt that his head was suddenly dizzy, his hands slipped, his feet went weak, and he fainted to the ground with a bang.
Wen Shu took a few steps forward, picked up the dagger on the ground, looked back at her family who was now asleep, she turned off the light, dragged the thief's legs, and walked out the door.
