THE GREAT GENETIC ERA

Chapter 1005 - The Child Called Ah Kong



Chapter 1005: The Child Called Ah Kong

If one didn’t register their identity, they weren’t allowed to enter any city on the Cang Lang Continent’s core city list. Similarly, one couldn’t apply for an academy, obtain residence rights, or apply for a high-paying job as a Beast Tamer.

In short, they were even worse off than the commoners of the Cang Lang Continent.

After Yu Huang heard this introduction manual, she fell into a long silence.

The Great World was really unfriendly.

!!

From the looks of it, Mr. Philand’s test was definitely not easy.

It was hard to say what the ‘cotton’ was.

“Do you need to buy a translator?” Just as Yu Huang was about to close the commentary manual, the woman asked softly.

Considering the language barrier, Yu Huang paid a thousand spirit stones in advance and bought an automatic translator.

The woman in the commentary manual said, “Okay, dear. Press your fingerprint here.”

A glass surface with fingerprints appeared on the commentary manual.

Yu Huang raised her eyebrows and pressed her thumb on it.

“Thank you for supporting my work. I also wish you the best of luck in completing your identity registration as soon as possible so that you can pay off your loan as soon as possible.” With that said, a rice-sized automatic translator appeared in front of Yu Huang through the commentary manual.

It was telekinesis.

From the looks of it, not only was the cultivation level of the Beast Tamers in the Cang Lang Continent much higher than that of the Holy Spirit Continent, but even the civilian technology was thousands of years ahead of the Holy Spirit Continent’s.

This was super modern technology.

After Yu Huang held the small rice grain and placed it on her earlobe, the small rice grain automatically fused with Yu Huang’s body.

At this moment, the sky already brightened slightly.

Yu Huang held the commentary manual as she walked towards the town ahead.

At dawn, the residents of the town opened their doors.

After buying the translator, Yu Huang finally recognized what was written on the billboards on the doors.

[Rejuvenation Hall], [Vegetable Planting Base], [Ores Base]… [Heartwarming Cotton Shop].

Heartwarming Cotton Shop?

Yu Huang stopped at the entrance of the shop.

A middle-aged man in a yellow apron walked out of the room. When he saw that Yu Huang was hesitating and didn’t dare to enter, he asked in a rough voice, “You just arrived? Mr. Philand asked you to come?”

Yu Huang nodded.

“Come in!”

The man pushed the rolling gate completely to the top and let Yu Huang in.

Yu Huang walked into the Heartwarming Cotton Shop and saw many white cotton-like things in the bags by the wall. However, they weren’t cotton, but a kind of worm that could squirm!

The man told Yu Huang, “Spring these two pockets of Heart Devouring Worms into white silk and successfully turn them into a blanket. Then, you will have completed the test.”

Yu Huang stared at the insect in her pocket and asked the man, “What’s the use of this Heart Devouring Worm?”

The man said calmly, “They are a type of demonic insect that can seduce people’s inner demons. Every insect represents a portion of your demonic will. If you can defeat your demonic will, you can defeat the insects and turn them into cotton threads.” What the owner didn’t tell Yu Huang was that Mr. Philand had always arranged test missions according to the potential of ascenders.

Heartwarming Cotton Shop had the most difficult test in the entire town.

It could be seen that Mr. Philand thought highly of this little girl.

Patting Yu Huang’s shoulder, the owner said, “Work hard and strive to complete the test as soon as possible.”

With that, the owner took off the cotton bow on the wall and handed it to Yu Huang.

Yu Huang put away the Aofeng Longbow on her back and carried the cotton bow on her back.

Yu Huang, who had never played cotton before, didn’t even know the correct posture to hold the cotton bow. She tried, but she couldn’t find the key to it. Suddenly, Yu Huang heard the sound of something falling to the ground. After she raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice, she saw a little boy.

The boy was wearing a white tank top, jeans, and a pair of canvas flats.

He suddenly came down from upstairs. The thing he pushed to the ground was a small stool.

As if sensing Yu Huang’s gaze, the little boy raised his head and looked at her.

Thus, Yu Huang saw a pair of black eyes. Those eyes were as black as an abyss.

She had seen a pair of eyes like this on another child before.

Yu Huang’s heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, the owner of the quilt shop said to the little boy, “Ah Kong! You should go deliver breakfast now!”

The child called Ah Kong ran towards the town canteen on his short legs.

After watching the little boy run away, Yu Huang turned around and asked the owner, “Is that your child?”

“Who are you talking about? Ah Kong?” The owner walked out with a cigarette in his mouth. Then, he leaned against the door frame and stared in the direction of the canteen as he said, “No, Ah Kong is the child of a staff member at the ore shop in town. This child is a jinx. His mother was jinxed to death the moment he was born.”

The owner shrugged and lamented, “Qingya had a child out of wedlock. After she died, there’s no one to take care of Ah Kong. This child grew up eating potluck. Now that he’s grown up, he helps the people in our town do what he can.”

Yu Huang felt uncomfortable when she heard this. “That child’s name is… Ah Kong?”

The owner nodded and said, “Yes, the house was empty and not a single spirit stone could be found, so everyone named him Ah Kong.”

Ah Kong meant emptiness and having no one to rely on.

.

As usual, Ah Kong arrived at the beef noodles restaurant at the edge of the town and asked Mr. Philand for beef noodles.

“Mr. Philand.” Ah Kong stared at Mr. Philand with a deep gaze as he said, “I’m here to get the noodles.”

Anyone this child looked at would have the illusion that they were being stared at by an abyss.

Therefore, everyone in town was actually a little afraid of him.

They were willing to give him a bite to eat, but they refused to take him in. They were afraid that he would jinx their family, just like how he jinxed his mother. The owner of the quilt shop was alone and unmarried, so he dared to take Ah Kong in.

When Philand saw Ah Kong, he handed him a beef shortbread and said, “Eat it before you go.”

“Okay.”

Ah Kong sat at Philand’s dining table and took small bites of the beef shortbread.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door again. Then, a low and reserved male voice came from outside the door. “Hello, where is this?” Ah Kong didn’t understand the other party’s language, so he didn’t turn around.

In just a few hours, Philand heard the language of the Holy Spirit Continent twice in a row, so he couldn’t help but be shocked.

What was going on this year?

Why were there two people from the Holy Spirit Continent, which had not had anyone who ascended for more than a hundred years?

Philand put down the spoon in his hand and turned to look out the door.

He thought that a man who spoke in such a levelheaded manner would be a mature middle-aged man. However, Philand saw a… boorish man.

It was a bald man in a black robe and round black leather shoes.

He was really…

… quite fierce.

Philand tried to sense the spiritual power on the other party’s body, but he realized that there was no spiritual power in the other party’s body at all!

Huh?

Strange.

“This is the Cang Lang Continent.” With that said, Philand threw a beginner’s handbook to Lin Jiansheng and said, “This is the Time Pavilion. You have to register your identities with me before you can enter the Cang Lang Continent. Go to the ore pavilion in town. When you get two full buckets of ore, come and register with me.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng blinked and was about to leave with the beginner’s handbook.

Before he left, he smelled the aroma of beef noodles and walked back shamelessly. He looked at Philand and said, “Sir, can you give me some food?”

Philand was speechless.

He had guarded the Time Pavilion for thousands of years, bu this was the first time he had met an ascendant who dared to ask him for noodles.

But…

The Space Administration didn’t stipulate that he wasn’t allowed to give ascendants a bite to eat.

Philand stared at Lin Jiansheng for a while before saying, “Come in.”

Lin Jiansheng hurriedly walked in and sat on the only empty chair at the only dining table in the room.

When Philand saw Lin Jiansheng sit down in his seat, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

That was his exclusive seat.

What a boor.

Lin Jiansheng didn’t realize that something was wrong, nor did he notice the old man raising his eyebrows.

It was only when the child opposite him was staring at him without blinking that Lin Jiansheng lowered his eyes and looked at the child. “Why are you looking at me?” Lin Jiansheng deliberately revealed a serious and scary expression as he said to the child, “I eat children.”

The child looked at Lin Jiansheng with an impassive expression and said, “@#…”

Lin Jiansheng looked at Philand helplessly and asked, “Sir, what is this child saying?”

The old man snorted and said, “He said that you sat in my seat.”

Lin Jiansheng blushed.
