Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

"It's okay, my wife is super strong. We'll be careful where we land, but please don't slip. I'll hold you up."

Zhang Huolong looked down at the road, proceeding cautiously. Shen Qiangwei's grip on Zhang Chaoqiang's hand tightened.

When they went downstairs, Shen Qiangwei and the other two held hands to prevent each other from falling, with no one's hand free.

Zhang Chaoqiang once told him that triangles are stable, which seems to make them appear very solid, but Zhang Chaoqiang always felt something was off…

Can you walk in this?

"Holy crap..."

Zhang Huolong's loafers were not slip-resistant at all. Even as he fell, he didn't forget to hold onto Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Chaoqiang's wrists tightly.

"[Instinctive Reaction]: Activate!"

"Why don't you start it already!"

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't expect that he couldn't use his instinctive reactions in this state.

Because he didn't need to react instinctively, he had already let go of Zhang Huolong's hand, pressed his whole body tightly against the stair railing, and wrapped his right arm around the pillar.

With his left hand gripping Shen Qiangwei, and Shen Qiangwei gripping Zhang Huolong tightly, the three of them managed to avoid the whole family falling down the stairs because Zhang Huolong slipped.

"Excellent, well done!"

Still on the left and right, the parents kissed Zhang Chaoqiang hard on both cheeks, leaving behind moist saliva like that of a humid spring.

"This world is just a giant humid climate!"

Just as the family continued downstairs...

thump.

Zhang Chaoqiang's heart was pounding harder and harder, and his face was changing. He could clearly feel a spasm in both his heart and stomach.

An indescribable experience arises within the body.

Internal organs 4.23/18

Internal organs -0.01, -0.01, -0.01...

Internal organs 4.19

"Fuck!"

Zhang Chaoqiang was shocked to realize that during the internal organ cramps, his visceral index was dropping rapidly, falling by 0.04 points in just a few seconds.

I'm poisoned! I screamed in my mind.

[Status]: Poisoned

What the hell?

Zhang Chaoqiang immediately remembered the strong medicine he had just swallowed. He didn't have time to think about it anymore. He was about to make a sound when he tried to focus his mind.

Activate your instinctive response!

[Spiritual Power Value]: 664

[Slightly better]: 2199/4000

[Combat Awareness]: 86

Internal organs 4.12/18

From the moment the instinctive reaction begins, the [Spiritual Energy Value] continuously decreases by 1...

Because of repeated use of the [Instinctive Reaction] which has a 48-hour limit, growth value -50 -50 -50...

Internal organs +0.01 +0.01 +0.01 +0.01...

Driven by instinct, Zhang Chaoqiang, who has no way to freely control his spiritual power, can trigger an emergency defensive and risk-avoidance state as if by conditioned reflex.

Consumes spiritual energy.

Replenishing the internal organ indices is secondary; the primary goal is to address the poisoning condition.

Zhang Chaoqiang: "!!"

Heartache has both a physical and a psychological meaning.

Although it's true that increasing combat awareness in a short time requires sacrificing growth points, the actual cost feels more painful than imagined when it's actually implemented.

In less than a minute, Zhang Chaoqiang had spent 18 points of spiritual energy before he calmed down and let out a long breath.

[Combat Awareness]: 100/100

Combat Awareness and Basic Control can be combined to form Spiritual Power Control.

……

The dizziness in my mind gradually returned to a state of consciousness.

From the moment I sensed that my body was poisoned, to the moment I triggered my instinctive reaction, my spiritual energy was automatically used to remove the poisoning from my internal organs and replenish their levels.

Then achieve full progress in [Combat Awareness].

The whole process took less than a minute, before the stairs even reached the ground floor.

Before he could even begin to figure out and control [spiritual power], the first question he needed to consider was...

Why did I get poisoned? Why was I poisoned? Why was I poisoned!

Unbeknownst to me, my nasal cavity had become moist, and two streams of hot liquid flowed down from it. One stream lingered in the philtrum of my upper lip, while the other dripped onto the ground.

With puberty activation progress reaching 70%, Zhang Chaoqiang felt his emotions being amplified dramatically. As someone who had lived for a long time, he couldn't avoid this stage.

He, who was usually quite calm, frowned and clenched his teeth at the inexplicable poisoning he had just experienced. However, fearing that his parents would notice something was wrong with him, he suppressed his pain and forced a smile to prevent his condition from worsening.

Finally, when they weren't looking, I quietly wiped away the two lines of blood from my nose as I went downstairs.

"Dad?"

Just as Zhang Huolong was about to unlock the door and turn the ghost fire around to come out of the alley, Zhang Chaoqiang suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong? Super strong?"

"Are those medicines really for strengthening muscles and bones?"

Zhang Chaoqiang met Zhang Huolong's eyes, [Visual Acuity] +1, the latter nodded and said: "That's right, you don't need to drink it anymore, Doctor Mo said it's only a two-week dose."

Zhang Chaoqiang was puzzled. He had clearly succeeded in using [Visual Vision] and his experience points had increased. Shouldn't that have amplified his father's guilty conscience?

Why do you seem so self-righteous...?

The moment Zhang Chaoqiang faced Shen Qiangwei, Zhang Huolong turned his back and made a face, grinning as he thought: I was feeling really guilty just now, but luckily I managed to control my expression and didn't let Chaoqiang see anything unusual. That kid is very clever.

We can't let him find out that the medicine your wife and I gave him was for treating ailments, rest, and tonifying the kidneys. Otherwise, he'll find out that his parents know our secret, and he'll be mortified!

When Zhang Chaoqiang met Shen Qiangwei's eyes, his heart raced. When he asked his mother the same question again, he was surprised to find that she gave the same answer.

"Good boy/girl, you're super strong! Those things that are good for you will help you grow taller and stronger!"

[Visual Inspection] +1

"..."

We've already used visual inspection, but Dad and Mom acted perfectly normally, not like they were guilty at all...

It seems highly likely that Doctor Namo was an incompetent doctor who did not control the dosage of the medicine properly and reached a level that would cause poisoning in a short period of time, resulting in a state of internal organ poisoning and depletion!

Because my physical condition is definitely superior to that of children of the same age, these medications pose a threat to me, at the very least they are not the dosages that a normal doctor would prescribe for a child.

But his intuition, or rather, his [monster sense], told him that his parents' strange behavior today meant they were definitely hiding something from him.

So, during the time spent on the way to the movie, during the movie, and on the way back home after the movie, etc.

Zhang Chaoqiang used his eyes to look at his parents a total of 37 times.

None of these efforts had much effect, and Zhang Chaoqiang was unable to get any explanation from his parents for their strange behavior during this period.

Without exception, all of these successful uses of [Visual Perspective] increased experience points.

It was used successfully, but it didn't work?

Zhang Chaoqiang was having an existential crisis. This was probably the first time in all his years that his visual perception had failed him so many times.

Zhang Chaoqiang had already begun to give up his suspicions about his parents, after all, no one had ever been able to withstand his [visual] ability dozens of times in a row.

However, he keenly noticed that Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were absent-minded all day long, their minds seemingly wandering elsewhere, which was definitely not normal.

"Dad, is this movie, 'His Name,' good?"

"Good-looking, good-looking."

As if he had lost his usual patience with Zhang Chaoqiang, Zhang Huolong could no longer withstand Zhang Chaoqiang's interrogation and was determined to go home immediately with his wife and Zhang Chaoqiang by his side.

He moved closer to his mother, Shen Qiangwei, tugged at her sleeve, and asked, "Mom, what story is this movie, 'Your Name,' about?"

"Well, the love story is amazing! You're still young, but you'll have such a sweet love story when you grow up!"

Shen Qiangwei didn't dare to look at him, patted Zhang Chaoqiang's head, and gave a perfunctory answer.

"I really don't know what's wrong with my parents today. They don't even want to watch their favorite romantic animation... oh no, I mean romantic cartoon."
