Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

Luo Qing looked into Chen An's eyes and replied, "It's the ability to control some monsters, but not just any monster."

She really didn't know anything about talent.

Upon hearing this, Chen An exchanged glances with Jiang Lai and Bai Lu.

I've never seen anything like this before.

Because of these people who were "summoned" directly from Earth by the world.

They all gained their current power by extracting their innate talents.

I wonder how the original humans of this world survived.

"Controlling monsters without any talent... Is this some kind of cultivation world? And a Beast Taming Sect too?"

Huo Ling'er blinked and guessed in a serious voice.

Bai Lu rolled her eyes at her.

He then added, "Can you think before you speak? Does this even resemble a cultivation world?"

Huo Ling'er pouted, "How could someone hear me when I spoke so softly?"

She just muttered that on a whim.

Unexpectedly, the egret overheard them.

Chen An ignored their bickering and instead asked Luo Qing, "Were you born with this ability? Or are all people here like this?"

They still know far too little about the true nature of this world.

Now that he'd found a local, he was bound to ask some questions he was curious about.

Luo Qing shook her head: "No, I only started studying monsters after they appeared in the world."

"I researched for a long time. Once, I extracted genes from a monster and combined them with some other substances. I almost died after the injection and was in a coma for several days. When I woke up, I had gained the ability to control some monsters."

She told the truth.

Anyway, these are all things that are documented and verifiable.

She has no reason to lie.

At this point, there's no harm in doing so.

"It's based on injecting drugs? This feels like something out of a movie. The rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation?"

The egret blurted out in a teasing tone.

"But this is also very powerful, and you can control monsters by studying them."

Bai Mengjie said rationally.

Chen An understood, but another question arose in his mind.

Where do you conduct these experiments?

"I have an underground research institute. After the city completely collapsed, I survived by hiding inside it using my ability to control monsters. All my equipment and records are there."

"A monster escaped from the research institute today. I couldn't defeat it, so I came out to try and control this Pyramid-Headed Monster to take back the institute, but unfortunately I failed in the end."

Luo Qing answered his questions one by one.

She felt that these people should see her failure.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have detained her as soon as she entered the train station.

"You still have an underground research institute? And it's still conducting research now? What do you use to generate electricity? Blueprints?"

The egret asked.

"What blueprints? I don't understand what you're saying. We have backup generators that can sustain us for years even in the event of a complete power outage."

After Luo Qing finished speaking, she looked at them, her curiosity and amazement growing even stronger.

So, even if eternal night descends upon this world, are there still humans from other worlds or universes living in ways she doesn't understand?

Luo Qing looked around and then at the group of people who were trapping the triangular-headed monster.

They held bows or crossbows and fired arrows at the monster.

Others were gathering ice spikes little by little with their hands and then stabbing them into the monster.

Someone took a deep breath and exhaled flames from their mouth.

Luo Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp light when she saw this.

She pointed at those people, then looked at Chen An and asked, "Can each of you do that? Without any assistive devices?"

Ice cones materialized out of thin air.

If it's not magic, then he's an extraordinary person!

"It's a talent, and everyone's talents are different, so not everyone can breathe fire or make ice."

Chen An said.

As he spoke, he kept observing Luo Qing's expression.

She didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid; she was genuinely curious about all sorts of things.

Luo Qing's eyes lit up when she heard that.

The smile at the corners of his mouth was even more pronounced.

She looked at Chen An and exclaimed in surprise, "Everyone is different? That's amazing! Can I go home with you and study you all?"

When Luo Qing asked the question, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

She felt that as long as she could understand all these people, there would be many things she could accomplish.

"Have they gone mad from conducting experiments? Studying monsters isn't enough, now they have to study humans too?"

The egret frowned, clearly displeased.

They're alive today not so that this madman could study them.

Jiang Lai also stepped in front of Chen An, using her body to block him.

"Impossible. You'd better put that idea away and not even think about it."

Not only that, Huo Ling'er and the other girls also stepped forward to protect Chen An behind them.

"That's right, you can't study us."

Huo Ling'er puffed out her cheeks and said seriously.

They've finally achieved their current good life, so they certainly wouldn't be willing to be treated as research subjects by others.

Chen An stood behind them.

Seeing how loyally they protected him, he smiled slightly.

It's definitely right to treat them well on a regular basis.

They can shoulder important responsibilities when necessary.

As for being studied by Luo Qing, that's definitely impossible.

He has a unique talent for acquiring resources; as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he can live a very prosperous life.

They certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to accept lying on a research table for others to study.

Chen An did not order them to move aside.

He first looked at Huo Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, take a look at her aura."

Huo Ling'er activated her talent and looked at Luo Qing.

A few seconds later, he said to Chen An, "Landlord, her aura is white; she's not dangerous."

Chen An now had a better understanding of the situation.

He then remained calmly standing behind them.

He said to Luo Qing, "You can't study us, but there are many of us, so we can capture monsters for you to study. You come back with us today, and we'll go to the research institute with you to move equipment tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai turned to look at Chen An.

He asked, "Honey, is this safe? She doesn't seem normal."

This Luo Qing is exactly like a mad scientist.

He not only enjoys studying monsters.

Now they even want to study people!

"She seems crazy, but she's not unreasonable. Besides, Luo Qing's aura is white, and her ability to control monsters is indeed quite strong. I think I can add her to my collection."

Chen An said calmly.

As he said this, his eyes kept glancing at Luo Qing.

Although this woman seems crazy, she has clear logic and doesn't seem like a complete madwoman.

It can only be said that she was indeed somewhat obsessed with her research.

Moreover, she chose to let Luo Qing join the room.

Besides taking her in to strengthen his room's fighting capabilities, he also had other selfish motives.

That is, to obtain information about this world from her.

After all, Luo Qing was the first person from the native world they encountered.

Living people in the local world.

Jiang Lai also heard what Luo Qing had just said and was indeed impressed by her ability to control monsters.

Just look at the scene of Luo Qing commanding more than a dozen facehuggers to fight against the Pyramid-Headed Monster.

She thought it was incredibly impressive.

She temporarily set aside Luo Qing's strength.

Then they changed the subject: "But darling, Luo Qing doesn't have a control panel, how does she join the room?"
