Heavenly Human Wisdom Root

The two mothers wandered around and soon entered a women's clothing store.

They tried on one outfit after another, showering each other with compliments the entire time.

Xu Meng praised Zhang Wanxin for looking great in a short skirt, saying her legs were long, pale, and incredibly sexy.

Zhang Wanxin praised Xu Meng for looking great in a spaghetti-strap dress, saying her collarbones were delicate and alluring, her shoulders smooth and tender, making her especially captivating.

Listening to the two mothers flatter each other, Lin Zichen could not help looking them over.

It had to be said that the two young mothers were truly charming.

Both their figures and appearances were top-notch, easily an eight out of ten at minimum.

On top of that, they were in the prime of their twenties.

They looked young yet mature, radiating feminine charm from head to toe.

Lin Zichen only looked for a moment before quickly shifting his gaze away from the two mothers and toward Shen Qinghan beside them.

With her oval face, big eyes, petite upturned nose, cherry lips, and fair, delicate skin... she had inherited Xu Meng's beauty perfectly. When she grew up, she would definitely become a refined beauty as well.

After leaving the women's clothing store,

the two mothers took the children to a toy store upstairs in the mall.

They planned to buy the two children some toys.

After walking around once, Shen Qinghan did not take a liking to any toys. Instead, she took a liking to the snacks in the snack shop across the hall.

Lin Zichen was not interested in toys either. He said he wanted to go into the bookstore next door to buy books, hoping to learn more about this world through reading.

Both mothers found it puzzling. Children their age usually loved toys, so why were these two so different?

Puzzled or not, the two mothers still bought the things the children wanted.

When buying books, Lin Zichen chose books related to Exotic Beasts, Gene Fusionists, and Mechanical Cyborgs.

"Zichen, these books aren't really suitable for children. How about we go over to where little Hanhan is and buy some picture books?"

Zhang Wanxin pointed toward the children's section ahead.

Lin Zichen opened one of the books he had chosen and said to Zhang Wanxin, "These books have pictures too. I like looking at these pictures."

Zhang Wanxin glanced at the illustrations. They showed either hideous Exotic Beasts, mutated Gene Fusionists, or various expensive parts of Mechanical Cyborgs.

She felt that children should not be reading such books and ought to read more cartoonish children's books instead. But since her son liked them, she bought them all.

After returning home,

Lin Zichen eagerly flipped through the books he had bought.

[You are reading a book. Mental Strength +1, Comprehension +1, Knowledge +1]

[Achievement: Read 100 million words in total]

[Reward: Obtain Biological Attribute—Heavenly Human Wisdom Root]

[Total words read: 10,086/100 million]

As Lin Zichen concentrated on reading, he suddenly noticed several lines of text appearing in the Void.

He scanned the contents, and a faint excitement rose in his heart.

After the initial Leg-Kicking Achievement, a second Achievement task had finally appeared.

From now on, aside from his dull daily training, he would have to add reading as another pastime.

As the days passed,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan gradually reached the age to attend kindergarten.

After discussing it, the two families decided to enroll the children in Rainbow Kindergarten, the closest one to their homes, making it convenient to pick them up and drop them off together.

The kindergarten's tuition was relatively expensive.

But accordingly, its curriculum was more extensive than that of ordinary kindergartens.

It had outdoor activity classes.

Foreign language classes.

Intellectual development classes, and more.

The day before school started, Lin Zichen's parents suddenly had something to attend to outside. Before leaving, they brought him to Shen Qinghan's home and asked her parents to take him to register at kindergarten with her the next day.

At the neighbors' home,

Xu Meng said gently, "Zichen, your father and mother won't be back until tomorrow night. Stay at Aunt Meng's house tonight, and tomorrow morning, Aunt Meng will take you and Hanhan to kindergarten."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Aunt Meng," Lin Zichen nodded.

Hearing this, Shen Jianye could not help sighing. "Zichen is so sensible. He even knows to say he's troubling Aunt Meng. He's such a little grown-up. It would be wonderful if Hanhan could be as sensible as you."

That night, after Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan had bathed together, they went to the room to sleep.

Shen Qinghan was very happy to be able to sleep with Lin Zichen.

She kept talking to him and chatting away.

She said she was looking forward to going to kindergarten tomorrow and making lots of friends there.

Lin Zichen only replied occasionally. Most of the time, he sat against the wall on the bed and read.

[You are reading Exotic Bestiary. Mental Strength +1, Comprehension +1, Exotic Beast Knowledge +1]

[Total words read: 43.96 million/100 million]

To complete the reading Achievement, Lin Zichen had persisted for nearly five whole months, reading an average of 300,000 words a day.

Yet he had not even reached halfway on the progress bar.

This reading Achievement was more than ten times harder than the previous Leg-Kicking Achievement.

After reading for a while longer, Lin Zichen felt that it was about time, so he put down his book and prepared to sleep.

By then, Shen Qinghan, who had just been chattering nonstop, was already lying beside him sleeping sweetly, so sweetly that drool had leaked from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Zichen took a tissue and wiped away her drool. As he did, his gaze involuntarily fell on the diaper she was wearing.

Even at four years old, Shen Qinghan still wet herself and had to wear diapers often.

Her parents had taken her to several hospitals for examinations, but none had been able to determine the exact cause.

The next morning,

Xu Meng got up early to cook porridge and called the two children to breakfast.

Lin Zichen had already woken up. By the time Xu Meng came to wake them, he had been exercising in his room for more than an hour.

In contrast, Shen Qinghan had lazed in bed for ages before Xu Meng finally dragged her into the living room.

During breakfast,

Lin Zichen finished his porridge in just a few bites and even washed his own bowl, the very picture of a sensible child.

Meanwhile, Shen Qinghan mechanically spooned porridge into her mouth while her eyes barely stayed open as she nodded off, trapped in a bugged state where she was too sleepy to eat yet too hungry to sleep.

While waiting for Shen Qinghan to finish her porridge,

Lin Zichen sat quietly and read, continuously absorbing the knowledge in his books.

He learned that Biological Ranks were divided into six levels: ordinary, Advanced Being, Rare Tier, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical.

Each level was further divided into nine tiers.

Humanity had learned of these ranks several centuries ago from ancient Stone Tablets in mysterious Ruins, and they had remained in use ever since.

After centuries of exploration and research, humanity had also learned a deeply despairing fact.

Because flesh and blood were too weak, humanity had an extremely low evolutionary limit, with ordinary Tier 9 being the highest they could reach.

To evolve further, they had to fuse with the genes of powerful Exotic Beasts.

Alternatively, they could use Mechanical Modification to give their physical bodies strength capable of rivaling Advanced Beings, Rare Tier beings, or even Epic beings.

And Epic beings were so powerful that they could withstand nuclear bombs with their bodies alone.

Withstand a nuclear bomb with the body alone... Is that really possible? Lin Zichen found it incredibly hard to believe.
