Chapter 13 Birthday Promise

"Why did you two come back later than usual today?"

"I stayed in the classroom for a while, so I came back a little late."

At the door of Shen Qinghan's house, Lin Zichen explained to Xu Meng who came out.

Xu Meng nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, asking him to go home early and not to worry his parents.

Before leaving, Lin Zichen glanced at Shen Qinghan.

Seeing that the little girl was in much better condition, he turned around and went back to his home with peace of mind.

He had already agreed with Shen Qinghan about what happened in the alley today, saying that this was a little secret between the two of them and that no third person could know about it.

The giant rat thing was okay.

The main thing was that when he severely injured the man and woman with bad intentions, the combat power he showed was too exaggerated, which was completely inconsistent with his age.

If other people knew about it, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of trouble.

At this stage, Lin Zichen just wanted to maintain his personality at the level of a little genius.

In this way, he could gain certain privileges and educational resources in school, and make his parents proud.

Then it was almost done.

If there were more, it would not be appropriate.

It would greatly affect the current rhythm of life and make it impossible for me to evolve quietly.

…

Back home.

After dinner.

Lin Zichen did nothing but sit in front of the TV and wait for the evening news.

I hope the security team can be more powerful and try to make public what happened in the alley tonight.

About ten minutes later.

Lin Zichen finally got the news report he had been waiting for, which was about the giant alien rat that appeared in the alley in the afternoon.

The content of the report was more detailed than he expected.

Two videos from different perspectives were released successively.

One was the third-person perspective shot by a drone from above.

The other was the first-person perspective recorded face to face when the mechanical cyborg and the giant alien rat were fighting in close combat.

Lin Zichen watched the two perspectives together.

The mechanical cyborg rarely took the initiative at the beginning and kept a distance from the giant alien rat.

Don't enter the attack range of the giant alien rat, and don't let it leave the purple-blue smoke.

Not long after, the giant alien rat, which was originally swift, gradually became slow, looking like it was anesthetized.

Obviously, the purple-blue smoke can reduce the combat effectiveness of the giant alien rat.

When the combat effectiveness of the giant alien rat was almost reduced, the mechanical man's arm grew a sharp blade on the outside, and began to take the initiative to attack and fight the giant alien rat in close combat.

The battle lasted for nearly seven minutes.

In the end, the giant alien rat was stabbed in the throat and the heart was pierced, and it fell to the ground dying.

"The level of this mechanical man should not be high."

After watching the video, Lin Zichen came to this conclusion in his heart.

He had searched for videos about the battles of mechanical men before, and they were all bombs washing the ground and lasers clearing the field, with extremely spectacular and fierce destructive power.

The mechanical man seen on the news station at this moment, however, used poison to deal with the enemy for a long time, slowly wearing the enemy to death, and his performance seemed to be much weaker.

While he was thinking about these things, his parents, who had just cleaned up the table and washed the dishes, also came to the living room and sat down.

When the couple saw the news on TV, their faces were instantly filled with surprise.

"What's the situation? Isn't this the giant alien rat that attacked Yinghai Country some time ago? How come there are also in our country?" Zhang Wanxin looked worried.

Lin Yansheng also frowned, looked at Lin Zichen on the side and said: "Xiaochen, don't walk to and from school by yourself during this period, Dad will pick you up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wanxin on the side said: "No need, the school just sent a message saying that due to the appearance of giant alien rats in the old city, classes will be suspended for half a month."

Suspended for half a month?

Hearing this news, Lin Zichen frowned slightly.

He realized that the matter of the giant alien rat might not be that simple. There might be other giant alien rats in the old city or other places nearby.

Otherwise, the class would not have been suspended for half a month.

Lin Zichen thought about it carefully and found that something was wrong with what happened in the alley yesterday.

The mechanical man appeared too quickly.

Not long after the giant alien rat came out, the mechanical man arrived at the scene to kill it.

It was as if he knew in advance that the giant alien rat was in the old city, or he had been tracking the giant alien rat, and he could rush to the scene to deal with it as soon as there was any movement.

Forget it, this is not something I should worry about.

I should ignore the outside world and stay at home to practice evolution. This is what I should do.

However, I can learn about the giant alien rat appropriately...

Thinking of this, Lin Zichen left the living room and walked into his parents' coding room, searching for information related to the giant alien rat on the computer.

It was learned that the giant alien rat, a strange beast, can be up to three meters in size when it grows up.

And the average biological level after adulthood is as high as ordinary level five.

Ordinary level five?

Fortunately, my first reaction when I encountered the giant alien rat in the alley yesterday was to run away, instead of fighting it, otherwise I am afraid that my head would be bitten off now...

Lin Zichen felt a little scared.

"No, I haven't exercised hard enough, I need to increase the intensity of exercise..."

He became urgent again, and soon left the coding room and ran to the room upstairs to start high-intensity exercise.

[You are doing weighted push-ups, Qi and blood +2, arm muscle strength +2, chest muscle strength +2, push-up proficiency +1]

[You are doing weighted squats, Qi and blood +2, leg muscle strength +2, squat proficiency +1]

[You are doing weighted sit-ups, Qi and blood +2, abdominal muscle strength +2, sit-up proficiency +1]

...

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, childhood sweethearts, celebrated each other's ninth birthday.

To be precise, it was Shen Qinghan's ninth birthday.

Their birthdays differ by one day, so their parents agreed to celebrate each other's birthdays in turn so that they could celebrate their birthdays together every year.

Last year, it was Lin Zichen's birthday, so this year it was Shen Qinghan's turn.

In the evening.

The two families had a dinner party at Shen Qinghan's house to celebrate the birthday.

The two children who celebrated their birthdays carefully prepared birthday gifts for each other.

Shen Qinghan knew that Lin Zichen liked to read books, so she bought him a set of books related to mechanical cyborgs, gene fusions, and alien beasts.

Lin Zichen gave Shen Qinghan a handmade hairpin.

Made of pure wood, hand-polished and carved, it was engraved with Shen Qinghan's name and a dandelion she liked, and the appearance was very exquisite.

"Xiaochen, this hairpin is so beautiful, I like it so much!"

Shen Qinghan was very surprised. She didn't expect to receive a gift made by Lin Zichen himself.

She couldn't wait to put on the hairpin and looked at herself in the mirror. The more she looked at the hairpin on her head, the more she liked it. She liked it so much that she felt that the set of books she gave seemed a bit cheap.

Compared to gifts bought with money, gifts made by oneself are more meaningful and valuable.

"Xiaochen, every birthday in the future, we will give each other gifts made by ourselves, okay?" Shen Qinghan looked at Lin Zichen and suggested.

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "Okay."

"Xiaochen, when did you learn the craft of handmade wooden products? How come your mother doesn't know anything about it?"

Zhang Wanxin looked at the exquisite wooden hairpin on Shen Qinghan's head and felt a little sour in her heart.

Lin Zichen explained, "I usually stay in my room and don't come out. A large part of my time is making handicrafts."

This is a lie. He often stays in his room and doesn't come out. He is hiding inside to exercise intensively.

As for the craft of handmade wooden products, I just found a video on the Internet last week, watched it carefully, and then learned it.

This is the power brought by [Heavenly Wisdom].

"Mom, I actually made a wooden hairpin for you. I will give you a surprise after celebrating your birthday and going home."

Lin Zichen saw the bitterness in Zhang Wanxin's heart at the moment, so he leaned into her ear and whispered this.

When Zhang Wanxin heard it, the bitterness in her heart was swept away, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. My baby son still knows to be filial to his mother.

...

After the birthday celebration.

Lin Zichen returned to his home, turned off the lights and lay on the bed, but did not rush to sleep. Instead, he looked at the ceiling quietly under the faint moonlight outside the window and fell into a period of thought.

Regarding the giant rat incident that happened last month, he has been paying attention to it, wondering why there were giant rats inexplicably appearing in the old city.

However, the official side has not given a clear explanation, and it remains a mystery until now.

Fortunately, the giant alien rat only appeared once that day, and it never appeared again, and life returned to peace.

"I hope the appearance of the giant alien rat is just an accident, not a conspiracy."

This world is not as peaceful as the previous life. There are alien beasts outside, and pagans inside, making trouble. This makes it difficult for Lin Zichen not to think too much.
