121. Childhood Classics

Edward remained silent for a full thirty seconds.

"I told you to inherit the family business before, but you wouldn't listen. Now you want me to give you a younger brother so that he can inherit everything you have, right?"

"Get lost. You're not young anymore. If you want to have children, go have them yourself. Let your son inherit your things. At my age, I can only take care of my grandchildren."

"I..." Ai Yi was so choked up that she couldn't utter a word for a long time. She coughed twice and said, "I'm just... busy saving the world, I don't have time."

"Get lost. And your mother and I are just separated, not divorced. Stop spreading rumors, you brat."

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Edward hung up the phone decisively.

Ai Yi reluctantly put away her phone, and when she turned around, she was met with Nangong Erya, who was trying not to laugh.

The way this father and son interact is nothing like that of father and son, but their relationship is quite good, which makes Nangong Erya very envious.

Ai Yi grinned and leaned closer: "Does our foundation assign wives? Look at my excellent genes, we can't waste them, we have to hurry up and pass them on. For the future of humanity, I'm willing to sacrifice myself..."

Nangong Erya interrupted his rambling with a cold, pretty face.

"You're so unreliable!"

"Hey, don't go! Let's talk about it some more..."

Ai Yi picked up the briefing, but the smile on her face slowly faded the moment Nangong Erya turned around.

He was already thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity to go out and get in touch with Jiang Chen.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cat Master, along with Jiang Chen, teleported from the bar to the outskirts of the orphanage.

In the blink of an eye, they had traversed hundreds of kilometers, from the bustling city center to the remote and quiet suburbs.

The deafening chirping of insects replaced the city's hustle and bustle, and the scent of damp earth and grass filled the air.

They were standing under a high wall, its surface mottled and covered with vines, with a few old buildings in the distance casting scattered lights in the night.

This is the Morning Light Welfare Home. The welfare home has been around for many years and there is not much money for repairs, so its appearance is very old.

Jiang Chen wasn't particularly concerned about the situation at the orphanage; what he cared about more was Cat Master's incredible teleportation technique.

Teleportation! Who hasn't fantasized about having the ability to teleport and running around the world when they were young?

The world is so vast, where can't we go?

This saves so much on travel expenses and transportation costs; how carefree and free!

If you can't beat someone, just run away. No one can catch you unless they have the same skills or a way to counter them, but that's rare.

Therefore, spatial skills have always been considered advanced, and those who remain within their own space reign supreme.

Jiang Chen is still exploring the ability of the Resurrection Incense to access the power of time, but he can learn Cat Lord's spatial abilities.

Cat Master had previously demonstrated the Mustard Seed Space and even teleported him, but this time the experience was the most profound.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Cat Master knew what he was thinking and immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"As I said before, if you want to learn how to manipulate space, you need to spend at least a few more years accumulating experience."

"Now your situation is even more complicated. At the very least, you have to wait until the spiritual intelligence of the Blood Coral Tai Sui is completely obliterated. Otherwise, if it tries to interfere with you when you use your mental power to interfere with space, you might be banished to an unknown space-time."

"So what you need to do now is to purify your own mixed power, continue to settle down and reflect for three to five years, and then consider this issue."

ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh!

What can Jiang Chen do? He can only accept his fate, after all, he has a lot of problems of his own right now.

One should eat one bite at a time, walk one step at a time, and not be too greedy in life.

"Let's go, don't waste time, you don't have much time left to come out," Cat Master urged.

A human and a cat sneaked into the orphanage like ghosts.

The entire welfare home was eerily quiet. Apart from a few main buildings that were still lit, most areas were shrouded in darkness and felt deathly still.

Guided by Cat Master, they found themselves in the most remote corner of the orphanage, in an old, dilapidated, and dangerous abandoned annex building.

The three-story, old red brick building had large areas of peeling paint, revealing the dark red bricks underneath. Most of the window glass was broken and haphazardly nailed together with wooden boards.

The main gate was chained and secured with a brass lock. In addition, yellow talismans were pasted on the iron gate and the surrounding walls, fluttering in the night wind. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a haunted house.

"The brat you mentioned, Cat Master, is he locked up here?"

"The people at the orphanage now treat him like a monster, so they lock him up here in isolation. These past few days, the director even went to see a Taoist priest to perform an exorcism."

"Is this reliable?"

"Of course it's unreliable. Although the difficulty of cultivation has decreased and there are more awakened people now, it's not so easy to encounter someone with the ability."

"Moreover, such an approach will only exacerbate his extremism, and a promising talent will be forcibly bent."

Jiang Chen nodded, and quietly approached the sealed door.

The entire building was quiet, but not completely silent.

If you listen closely, you can hear a rhythmic electronic sound that sounds somewhat familiar, but Jiang Chen can't quite place where he's heard it before.

"Beep beep...da da...beep beep beep..."

Only when he got closer did Jiang Chen realize that it was the sound of buttons being pressed, from a game controller.

We live in the age of smartphone games, like mobile games and PUBG.

Otherwise, it's computer games, those game consoles that need to be connected to a TV, those have been obsolete for a long time, I didn't expect to still have them here.

In the dimly lit room, the lights were off, and only an old CRT television set emitted a faint glow, illuminating a corner of the room.

The screen was already yellowed, and the game console was even more ancient, probably dug out of some junkyard. It was a miracle that the game cartridges still worked.

A boy who looked to be about ten years old and was thin was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He was wearing ill-fitting old clothes, staring intently at the screen, his hand tightly gripping an equally old game controller, his fingers frantically pressing the buttons so fast they almost left afterimages.

The screen flashing on the television was a fighting game scene that Jiang Chen was very familiar with.

A series of pixelated, roughly styled characters are engaged in a fierce battle, with one of them, a boy in a green martial arts uniform, gathering a ball of blue light at his fingertips.

One of the classic childhood games – Yu Yu Hakusho: Makyou Touichi Sen.
