Lin Xin'er watched with wide eyes as the egg tart she had been eyeing for a long time was unceremoniously popped into Chen Luo's mouth.
Her small mouth gaped open, and her large, watery eyes seemed on the verge of tears.
But upon hearing Chen Luo's words, the little girl's already bright eyes widened further, as if she had seen a ghost, staring at Chen Luo.
Huh?? Can this uncle read minds?
No! That can't be right! He's just a handsome, bad uncle!
Thinking this in her heart, the cunning little girl immediately softened her tone and said,
"Big brother, I, I didn't."
Seeing the little imp's performance, Chen Luo's eye twitched slightly.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue felt a pang of sympathy for her sister. She shot Chen Luo a glare, then reached out to pick up the plate of egg tarts and offer it to her sister:
"Here, Xin'er, eat this. Brother Chen was just teasing you."
Lin Qing remained silent throughout, merely observing the interaction between Chen Luo and her two younger sisters.
As the eldest sister, she understood her two sisters all too well.
Chen Luo sighed inwardly as he looked at Lin Yue. The eldest was thoughtful, the youngest a little imp, and only Lin Yue, the second daughter, was truly innocent.
Perhaps, because her nutrition was concentrated elsewhere?
Chen Luo ignored Lin Yue's harmless glare and continued to sigh softly at Lin Xin'er, "Alright, alright. Since you think I'm handsome in your heart, then I'll be an uncle."
Lin Xin'er, who was obediently accepting her sister's feeding, froze upon hearing this. She didn't react even as her mouth was filled with egg tart.
It's over, it's over! The uncle really can read minds!!
Oh dear! Big brother, don't bully Xin'er!
Xin'er admits defeat! Brother, you are the most handsome!
...
Chen Luo waved his hand dismissively, no longer teasing the precocious little girl.
Well, this way, he could confirm a few things.
His external perception strength now allowed him to hear the thoughts of all ordinary humans within a ten-meter radius, if he so willed.
However, he still couldn't normally hear the thoughts of Mind-Soul users.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo glanced thoughtfully at Lin Yue, who was completely unaware. Her spirit was protected by some unknown power, suggesting that Lin Yue had indeed awakened as a Mind-Soul user.
However, there wasn't much description in the Lin family's internal database on how Mind-Soul users themselves could improve; it seemed to be a natural growth process.
Once natural growth reached a certain level, they could pilot stronger battle armors.
And when customized battle armors were piloted for a long time, under very peculiar circumstances, they could be upgraded to titled battle armors.
But most people's Mind-Soul power, after awakening, would remain locked in its initial awakened state, without any further growth.
It seemed that once each person's Mind-Soul power was born, its upper limit was predetermined.
Considering that the internal database even recorded the death of the previous Lin family patriarch and the secret of the birth of titled battle armors.
Perhaps the lack of records on how to improve Mind-Soul users was simply because the Lin family truly didn't have it or didn't know.
"Interesting. Since this is an extraordinary path recognized by the Great Source of this world, there must be a way to improve."
"Even if this extraordinary path only has a history of twenty years, it would be enough for people to summarize and conclude."
"But as the Lin family, once a hegemon of this city, they don't even have this information. Could it be that Nine Dragons has blocked information on normal advancement methods?"
The four enjoyed the perfectly cooked breakfast at the table, each lost in their own thoughts.
Lin Qing knew Chen Luo was about to do something big, but she didn't understand what the Great Source was. However, after the candid conversations last night and this morning, Lin Qing had decided to follow Chen Luo closely.
Lin Yue didn't think too much. As long as the handsome Chen Luo was willing to stay in her house, she was happy. As for those bad guys like Young Master Lu? Lin Yue didn't care, because her sister was there.
Lin Xin'er tried hard to suppress her thoughts, sometimes calling out "brother" in her heart, and sometimes "uncle." Poor her, at such a young age, even if a bit precocious, how could she control her chaotic thoughts?
The two younger sisters were waiting for their elder sister to lead the way,
While the elder sister had already effectively joined Chen Luo's chariot.
Therefore, Chen Luo was the decision-maker for all subsequent actions.
Lin Qing was even contemplating what earth-shattering plan this young man with terrifying power would come up with next!
Could it be a repeat of Nine Dragons Company's Seven Days War, where he intended to overthrow the entire world single-handedly?
As she thought about it with excitement, the suspicious blush on Lin Qing's face deepened.
But Chen Luo, the mysterious traveler from another world, who was placed such high hopes upon by Lin Qing,
At this moment, only found the egg tarts in this world quite delicious.
As for how to deal with the Great Source? Or whether to overturn the entire world and recreate the cycle of elements?
Chen Luo wouldn't mind, but there was no rush.
After all, he hadn't forgotten that the protagonists of this world, number one and two, were sitting right in front of him.
What is a protagonist?
They are beings who, with just a casual outing, can encounter situations of being slapped in the face after showing off!
So, Chen Luo didn't need to do anything next. He just needed to stay by the side of these two protagonists and wait for trouble to appear.
By resolving more troubles and gaining more recognition from the Great Source of this world, Chen Luo could better display his power in this world!
As for now, Chen Luo felt it was best to calmly enjoy the breakfast from another world.
Well, stolen goods taste delicious. (by GianT)
Meanwhile, Lin Qing, who had been overthinking, looked at Chen Luo leisurely enjoying his food and thought:
When Mr. Chen eats, does he see the entire world as food?
I was too narrow-minded! I even tried to use Mr. Chen before. Compared to his ambitions, the troubles our Lin family encountered are truly insignificant!
Although, under normal circumstances, one cannot read the thoughts of Mind-Soul users.
But the gaze of that big sister in the white dress was too intense, making it impossible for Chen Luo to ignore.
When he could no longer bear it, Chen Luo suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Qing and casually pushed the egg tart in front of him towards her:
"Alright! I shouldn't have been so forceful last night. Stop looking at me and eat something! Your chef's skills are quite good."
Pfft!
Hearing this, Lin Yue, who was drinking milk opposite them, directly spat it out. She blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes and stared blankly at the two of them:
"You... you... you... I... I... she..."
A feeling of "I was here first" brewed in her heart, but before she could utter this famous line,
Chen Luo's expression suddenly changed, and he flipped the dining table over with one hand!
Boom!!!!
A violent energy beam descended from the sky!
Amidst the blinding white energy bombardment, the luxurious mansion instantly turned into dust.
The servants inside the mansion lost their lives before they even realized what was happening.
A thousand meters above the Lin family's main residence,
A pure white humanoid metal figure stood in mid-air,
As its cold metallic luster flashed, a stern voice delivered a fatal declaration:
"Mission complete! Lin family main residence destroyed!"
"Commencing titled battle armor retrieval!"
"All glory to Nine Dragons!"
