This World Has a Problem!

Lin Xuan had previously believed this world was a parallel world to his past life because the two worlds had far too many similarities.

So many that he sometimes forgot he had come to another world.

It was not until he suddenly heard such obviously unusual terms as Mutants and Mech-Energy Users on the local news just now that he realized something was wrong—

"This world has a problem!"

Slurp!

Lin Xuan sucked down the last drop of milk from the bottle in one gulp, his brows knitting slightly.

"What's wrong, baby? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Ye Hongyu noticed the wrinkled frown on Lin Xuan's face in her arms.

But she soon noticed that the bottle in Lin Xuan's hands was completely empty.

"So you finished it."

A doting smile appeared on Ye Hongyu's face. "You can't have any more, okay? You already had a lot this afternoon... Be good, baby. Mommy needs to start making dinner for Daddy and your sisters."

After setting aside the empty bottle in Lin Xuan's hands, Ye Hongyu kissed his cheek before placing him in the cradle in the living room.

Time always passed quickly for babies.

In the blink of an eye, another two months had gone by.

Grow up already. This is seriously boring.

Having just awakened from sleep, Lin Xuan stared at the ceiling and thought listlessly.

Life was dull; the baby sighed.

For someone with an adult soul, life as a baby was far too monotonous. Every day, all he did was eat and sleep. When he woke up, he ate again.

The only thing worth celebrating was that he possessed the Nutrient Absorption talent. He developed quickly enough that he could almost feel the changes in his body every day.

Though he was only four months old, his physical development in every aspect was already no slower than that of some one-year-old babies.

His brain was still not fully developed, but it was enough to support normal thought while he was awake, and his eyesight had improved greatly as well.

"Mm, seems like it's mealtime again."

After waking up a little more, Lin Xuan began pondering his next meal.

In fact, as the development of his brain accelerated, his language center had also gradually become more complete. He could already speak a few short sentences.

But he had no interest in being treated like a monster, so he ultimately chose to use the Gibberish Method instead of speaking.

"Gah—!"

Lin Xuan began calling for someone.

But just as his "gah" rang out, a familiar panel notification appeared in his mind once more:

"Achievement completed: Accumulated three thousand instances of gibberish"

"Achievement reward: Gibberish Learning Talent 0/1000"

"Talent effect: In a person's lifetime, the best period for learning a language is always childhood... But from this moment onward, every moment will be the best time for you to learn a language. Every language will lift its mysterious veil before you, and you will truly grasp the essence of language."

"Note: Can be advanced"

"This works too?"

Seeing the panel notification suddenly pop up in his mind, Lin Xuan was caught somewhat off guard.

He had chosen to communicate through gibberish only because he had no other choice. He had never expected that a lucky misstep would land him another new talent.

After all, over the past few months, the talent that had helped him the most was undoubtedly Nutrient Absorption.

Otherwise, there was no way he could have gone from a Premature Infant born with congenital deficiencies to his current state in just a few short months.

"I didn't expect to get another new talent so soon."

Looking at the introduction for the Gibberish Learning talent on the panel, Lin Xuan gained a general understanding of its effects.

"Although I already know the Xia Language, this world clearly has other languages from my past life, perhaps even languages that never existed in my past life."

Recalling some of the information he had learned over the past two months, Lin Xuan naturally was not disappointed by this newly acquired talent.

After all, based on what he currently understood, humans did not seem to be the only beings in this world...

"Who was talking?"

Ye Hongyu walked in from the living room with a puzzled expression.

She had vaguely heard someone speaking over here just now, but she did not see anyone even after walking all the way to the bedroom door. There was only Lin Xuan, who had just woken up.

Instinctively, she dismissed the possibility that Lin Xuan had been speaking.

Lin Xuan was only four months old now. Though he could occasionally spit out a few words, he was clearly still a long way from being able to talk.

"Gah!"

Lin Xuan half-pushed himself up from the cradle, draping his upper body over the railing as he opened his arms toward Ye Hongyu with an innocent, bewildered expression.

"Must've heard wrong."

Ye Hongyu shook her head, deciding not to let her imagination run wild. Smiling, she walked toward Lin Xuan.

"Baby's awake. Did you miss Mommy?"

"Gah—"

Lin Xuan spread his arms.

As Ye Hongyu picked him up, he could not help secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

After obtaining the Gibberish Learning talent, his language center had clearly been strengthened once, just as his digestive function had been strengthened when he previously obtained the Nutrient Absorption talent.

As a result, though he originally could not casually speak complete sentences, he could now speak normally. A soft exclamation had slipped right out of his mouth.

Fortunately, his voice had been quiet, and Ye Hongyu had not heard clearly from the living room. She quickly put the matter out of her mind.

Ye Hongyu carried Lin Xuan into the living room, skillfully prepared a bottle of milk for him with one hand, then tucked it into his arms with a smile.

"Alright, hurry up and eat—"

With the bottle in his arms, Lin Xuan naturally did not stand on ceremony and soon began another round of feeding.

However, just as he started drinking, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.

Ye Hongyu carried Lin Xuan two steps toward the door, then looked at the figure entering through it in surprise and asked, "Why were you the one who picked them up today? Where's your dad?"

"Dad suddenly got an emergency assignment, so he sent me a message asking me to help pick them up."

A tranquil young girl in a floral pleated skirt walked in from the doorway. She had long jet-black hair styled into two thick twin ponytails.

She was the Lin Family's eldest daughter, Lin Xuan's oldest sister, Lin Rou. Seventeen years old, she was a senior in high school and about to face the college entrance examinations.

The two following behind her were naturally Lin Xuan's second brother, Lin Wu, and third sister, Lin Long.

Both wore their school uniforms. As fraternal twins, they were both thirteen this year and in their second year of middle school.

"Oh? Little Xuanxuan is awake?"

Lin Long, who wore her hair in a bun and looked rather impish, noticed Lin Xuan drinking milk the moment she entered the house.

Oh no!

Lin Xuan, who had been happily drinking his milk, could not help feeling a tremor of dread upon hearing that voice.

As the saying went, brine curdled tofu—everything had its nemesis.

Whether it was Lin Hai or Ye Hongyu, he could easily keep them in the palm of his hand with his 'cute act and crying technique.'

Only Lin Long, his quirky third sister—he truly had no way to deal with her.
