Chapter 977: The family is even more chaotic

I have always felt that Lin Xue has an attitude towards life that is very worthy of her own learning, that is, even if she has the power to predict the future, she is not willing to use it easily on herself, in her words, this is to make life more interesting, after all, according to the prophecy mechanism, her observation of the future will lead to the historical process being predetermined in advance, although it is not 100% fixed a future, but it will also make life from the unknown full of surprises to the boring known, and as an individual who has grown up in human society, The eldest lady obviously doesn't like this boring lifestyle.

But now, I think it would be great if I had this ability, at least I can know how my daughter was slowly harmed by those unwritten relatives.

The shop we stayed in was a cheap restaurant opened by students, and the owner of the shop was Misaka's sister, who didn't know which one of the businessmen was very business-minded, and there were two goblin partners, which was one of the more famous hotels on this street. The biggest feature of the shop (and also the feature that cannot be replicated) is that all the waiters are three-headed 60 cm tall mercury lamp dolls, these small arms and legs of the big head dolls running around on the ground to collect and deliver things, it can be said that it is a scenery in this student restaurant, if you come here to eat, you can interact with the interesting and cute three-headed puppet, but be careful to look at your feet when walking, because it is easy to kick over a reckless little guy. The tables here are all specially made, and there are small folding ladders next to the tables, and only the three-headed mercury lamps more than half a meter high can climb up the ladder to clean up the dishes and chopsticks - after all, they can't reach the table even if they jump.

Looking at the dolls running around with trays, Xiaoxue always looked happy, and from time to time she suddenly picked up a little guy who didn't hold anything in her hand and kissed her, and after a few minutes, no puppet dared to approach this place, I was a little curious: "At that time, were these little guys still active?" ”

"Of course, and the number has reached hundreds of thousands, in the royal quarter, these little doll heads are very popular companions and staff, cute and clever, but at that time, the 'princess dolls' were not the same as these alchemy dolls now, when I was born, these dolls were divided into many types, some of which have their own intelligence and biological characteristics, in fact, they are a new type of apostles with special appearance, they are good at combat and logistics, and there are a large group of ships in the royal fleet. There are some puppets that are directly controlled by Sister Lamp.,Super equipment that was made by those scientists.,Used to act as Praetorian Guards.,We call them 'Princess Knights'.,It's enviable.,And a small number of prototypes are now.,Behind it, it's still the Misaka sisters in command.。 But at that time, the Misaka sisters were very busy, and the dolls they controlled were not so fun, and they had to work. Speaking of this, Xiao Xue seemed to remember something interesting, and couldn't help grinning: "Of course, it hasn't changed since you were stuck in the corners when you were hairy, I heard that this problem has been there from the beginning." ”

It seems that some things are similar to what I expected.

I know that the birth of Xiaoxue has been many, many years later, time has passed, things are not people, maybe many things around me will slowly disappear now, but presumably these mass-produced mercury lamps will always be retained, as well as the Misaka sisters behind them.

This brings us to the current biochemical transformation of the various races under the New Empire.

Prior to this, after obtaining the biochemical technology information of Atlantis, Sandora and I had already started the genetic enhancement project for the servants of the army, and now this project has gradually developed to the entire Hongshi realm. With the combined efforts of a group of bio-specialized scientists and Lilina, the Empire has developed standard bio-modification processes for hundreds of life forms, which are so inexpensive that they require only a little energy and equipment consumption, and some of them can do it all without even human involvement. All Shadow City citizens, honorary citizens, contract workers, and vassal races have the right to be modified by the standard process - of course, this is also their obligation, and even many vassal races are constantly adjusting their life forms by the Empire, which no one can refuse unless you give up any of the benefits that the Empire provides. This adjustment can genetically make members of a race stronger, smarter, more adaptable to extreme environments, and more likely to live longer.

There are many Imperial Biochemical Stations in each World Realm that carry out this adjustment mission, and the entrance to the Biochemical Station will be inscribed with the following sentence:

Extend your life, temper your **, and then use them to be loyal to the emperor for a longer time.

The original direct purpose of genetic enhancement was to add a more abundant source of good servants to the empire, making them stronger and more experienced in warfare, and the Atlantean artificial gods were the product of this plan when the entire race was collectively "jumped" into a superhuman race. And now, with the new empire unlocking tech trees, we've begun to try to replicate the wonders that happened to the Atlantean race.

As for the by-product of this plan, it may be that we will create countless super species with long lifespans and can fly and release ball lightning - of course, it is difficult to say in the short term whether all vassal races can be immortal like the Atlanteans, after all, the foundation of many creatures may not support longevity, some races have a limited soul lifespan and cannot see the possibility of unlocking, and some races themselves are not willing to let their age exceed a thousand years old, and not everyone likes immortality, For some mortal races, death is actually part of a complete life. In these cases, our solution is the typical Xiling Thought and Jingle Bell Doctrine: if you really feel that you have lived enough, and have completed all your responsibilities and obligations to this world, then you can submit a death application, and this application will be verified by the priests of the Life God Cult, and after verification, the applicant can be sent to the local World God of Life Temple for free, where they can return to the River of Life, and correspondingly, The death of the applicant will create one or two new birth quotas in the local area (additional quotas, since we don't really need to worry about the lack of survival resources, this quota is only used to commemorate the deceased), and the newborn born from this quota will posthumously recognize the deceased as godfathers and godmothers according to the teachings of the Cult of Life God, thus completing a cycle of life from the physical to the symbolic.

"Dad?"

"Dad!" Suddenly, a call brought me back from my divergent thoughts, and Xiaoxue was holding a piece of barbecue in front of me, "Dad, you eat, and Mom, why don't you eat it?" ”

I thought it was a little weird, and while chewing on the food handed over by Xiaoxue, I said indistinctly: "You are really self-cooked, we have only met for a few hours." ”

"That's what you think, I've been with you for more than ten years...... Xiaoxue said with a bulging mouth, there is no reserve of a girl at all, maybe this appearance really can't be said to be uneducated, it can only be said that she has no need to be reserved in front of her parents at all - she woke me up with a word.

That's right, in my opinion, this strange girl named Chen Xiaoxue and herself met only a few hours ago, and between herself and the other party, except for the inexplicable intimacy from blood, it is basically equivalent to a stranger you just met, but what about Chen Xiaoxue?

She had been living with our family for a decade or two before the projection came!

It can even be guessed that maybe until not long ago, she was still eating with her parents in another time and space, watching TV, chatting and shopping, and today she is still with her parents, but the person opposite is how much younger and how old, now this scene is new to me and Lin Xue, but for her, it has been repeated I don't know how many times, this difference in feeling is really strange to think about now.

Lin Xue obviously thought of going with me, her face was always a little red, and at this time she gently touched my arm: "Wood, it seems that we can adapt in the future, I bet this kid will not be polite to us at all, but I ...... I really don't have any experience as a mother! ”

I smirked and pinched Lin Xue's cheek: "Our children, our children, our children......"

The corners of the eldest lady's mouth trembled, and she poked my waist with chopsticks: "You have the right to choose silence, anyway, I will find a way to shut you up!" Then he looked at the oblique upwards at a forty-five-degree angle, and said with a sigh: "This is good, I have gone further than Sandora and Shallow for the first time, and I originally wanted to find a balance in my heart, but this time the balance is too much." ”

After eating, Xiaoxue's energy was not less at all, but she was more interested because she was full of food and drink, she pulled me and Lin Xue to walk around the entire academy road, which was the beginning of an embarrassing journey at the other end, because this girl saw a lot of familiar faces along the way, the girl had a sweet mouth, and greeted everyone when she saw it, even if the other party was full of consternation, she couldn't stop her from coming forward affectionately when she met someone:

"The third uncle sells bracelets? Is business good? Is the bracelet still faded? ”

"The fourth aunt will give me two skewers, me? Oh, you don't know you yet, but you just know my dad, huh? ”

"Ahh Good afternoon, Auntie, Auntie! ”

"Uncle! Uncle! The bracelet is so beautiful! Is this plastic or glass? ”

"That's Uncle Cúchulainn, right? Still carrying his lightning rod? ”

"Hey, Uncle Ball! You have words on you again, who wrote it for you: Please keep rolling at a constant speed to avoid crushing. It must be those juniors, oh no, you haven't been teaching at the academy yet—me? I'm Chen Xiaoxue! You'll know you later! ”

The strange girl named Chen Xiaoxue was full of energy, greeting every upright walking object she encountered on the road, even including the creature that was rolling and walking (this is a cold again), all kinds of strange titles jumped out of her mouth like popping beans, crackling and stunning everyone she met in front of her, if under normal circumstances, she greeted people like this, it would definitely be regarded as a neurosis, but the first thing the person on the other side saw before seeing her was me and Lin Xue, So he was full of astonishment, so he could only turn into a strange girl and ask secretly after the strange girl walked over: "Where did you pick up a living treasure?" ”

I can't bear to tell these people that in a few years, an identical living treasure will have to toss the whole city from the age of one.

After Chen Xiaoxue finally began to hold the panicked Altoria "little aunt little aunt" and screamed non-stop, Lin Xue and I finally couldn't help it at all, and stepped forward and dragged the girl whose tutor collapsed back: "Where did you get all this messy title from!" Is Altoria an aunt-nephew relationship with you?! ”

Xiaoxue looked up at the sky and thought for a while, and shook her head: "How do I know the Dao, there is a large group of people around me since I was a child, you said that they are all elders, but I learned to speak early, and others like to agree when they say hello, so I can only scream randomly, I called it when I was a child, except for men and women who call it well, other titles come randomly, anyway, the people who are called will understand the spiritual ......"

Me: "......"

At this time, someone finally reacted, it was Medusa who was caught by Xiaoxue just now and called the fourth aunt: "Boss...... What's going on here? ”

"Let me introduce you," I saw that there were still a lot of people around, so I pointed at Xiaoxue, my face was full of helplessness, "This is my daughter, eh, my ...... with Lin Xue"

The corners of the eldest lady's mouth trembled and turned her head to look at the sky, she didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't deny it, so the Ying Ling around her was suddenly in an uproar, Cu Chulalin's mouth was fast, and she pointed at the strange girl Chen Xiaoxue, who looked at least seventeen or eighteen, and was shocked: "Boss! That's too big, isn't it? Could it be that it is jingle to ripen it! ”

Medusa's face changed dramatically, and Artoria raised her sword and shouted, "Find cover!" Take cover! ”

A circle of people flashed in an instant, and I opened the energy shield with a blank expression and closed my eyes, silently reciting one, two, three, and when I opened my eyes, Cuchulainn was gone.

Medea, who was running slowly, paced back with the blast head: "As a guard, he should at least learn to add an honorific after the goddess's name." So the boss, this ...... The New Princess...... Uh, what the hell is going on? ”

The Heroic Spirits have been living in Avalon for a long time, although they belong to the soldiers under Dingdong in terms of establishment, but because of the unreliability of the Dingdong guy, they are still in contact with me at most, so now I am also quite familiar with these Heroic Spirits, as long as they are not in formal occasions, they are very open to each other, and this is probably the same in the future, otherwise Chen Xiaoxue is unlikely to grab Artoria and call her aunt, and now I see that I suddenly lead a brand new princess to appear, and it is said that she is also Lin Xue's biological daughter, So even the heroic spirits who don't like gossip anymore came over, even including Artoria, I looked around, shrugged my shoulders and told everyone about Xiaoxue's origin.

Of course, in the end, except for "Xiaoxue is from the future princess Her Royal Highness", they didn't understand anything else, this strange little girl's way of coming to this timeline is really too round, I suspect that she came here purely to toss people's reasoning ability.

It is not surprising that a group of Heroic Spirits were so excited to have another princess that they suggested that a welcome ceremony should be held and at least one dinner, as the Heroic Spirits we had pried from the Holy Grail World were specially selected, and most of them came from the era when princess knights swept half the sky, and the people of this era, except for a few non-mainstream Heroes, were extremely sensitive to the following words: princess, king, knight, conquest, and honor, I believe for them, Anything more in the royal family is worth promoting, including an extra princess and the king's cat cub, and Lin Xue and I, a pure little couple, have existed as a model of imperial love for a long time, and now the two influential figures suddenly have an extra seventeen or eighteen-year-old flesh and blood, how do you let these guys who have accumulated adrenaline all day long idle and nothing to do to calm their surging cerebral fluid......

However, Xiaoxue didn't seem to be very interested in the welcome ceremony, because in her opinion, there was really nothing to celebrate, in her own timeline, she and these heroic spirits met almost every day, and it was less than a month since the last time they were separated, and it was too difficult to understand that such a short time of separation would have to hold a banquet. Again, this is a gap caused by different timeline perspectives, and visually I will have to deal with this gap for a long time to come.

Of course, in the end, I agreed to the Heroic Spirits' wish to hold a welcome ceremony, because I know this group of unreliable and drunkards occupy half of the country, and I'm sure that most of the reason for their welcome ceremony is actually for their own fun, after a long time with the goblins from Gensokyo, this tendency has become more and more serious, and Xiaoxue's cold or not seems to affect their activities at all.

Before I knew it, it was already half of the afternoon, although Xiao Xue was still very energetic, but her parents really didn't have so much energy to wander outside, you must know that Lu Dao was highly nervous in the first half of today, and commanded a big melee that raided the three fallen apostles at the same time, I really want to know what kind of material this strange girl is made of, it stands to reason that she should be more tired than us to panic: this girl didn't just fight with the fallen apostles, she led the fleet all the way out of the enemy's hinterland! In other words, aren't the "ultimate heirs" born after the Void Cataclysm all special alloys?

After I got home, I found that Qianqian had really come back, listening to the movement, the family including Shandora was also there, and there was a large circle of little hairy girls around Qianqian, along with the group of rose girls, Qianqian was happily talking to them about something, and when she saw us in the living room, she suddenly pointed at Xiaoxue and shouted: "That's it, it's this!" Projected from the future! Oh your sister! ”

As soon as the words fell, Little Bubble appeared in front of Xiaoxue unconsciously, glanced at the latter with a special expression, and said loudly with his arms folded: "Goo! ”

"Sister Paul! Wow, Sister Paul, who can't speak yet! Xiaoxue suddenly picked up Little Bubble with a gleam in her eyes, put it on her chest and rubbed it fiercely, so that Little Bubble who wanted to feel what it was like to be a sister screamed, Little Bubble looked innocent but not stupid, she knew what a sister was and what a sister was, and because of her talent as a Xiling host, I am afraid that her understanding of Xiaoxue's origin is not much shallower than others, so she felt that she should say hello to her future sister as a sister, the only regret is that she regrets, She absolutely ignored her current height......

(Recommend a book, "Moon Pilot", a new science fiction book, tells the story of what happened after humans discovered that the moon was actually a giant planet mothership, the reason for the recommendation is that in this era of wild grasses, it surprisingly has a good relaxed writing and ideas, the protagonist's mentality is very normal, the character performance is very distinct, and it is commendable that the content of the book is worthy of the label of "science fiction", which is somewhat classic science fiction. Of course, there are flaws, if you look at it from the perspective of orthodox science fiction, this book still has technical loopholes, errors in details, which may have something to do with the fact that the author is actually a liberal arts student - but in this current environment, you can actually find a science fiction more like science fiction. ）
