Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

After taking a nap in the room.

Dinner time.

The servants informed them that dinner was ready.

The Huo family ate together in a large group, probably because it was during the apocalypse and relatives liked to stick together, so they basically all stayed together.

Huo Yichuan was quite satisfied with this scene, and Old Madam Huo also liked it. She loved the lively atmosphere of the large family and felt at ease knowing that the family was thriving.

Huo Ling led Lin Shuangshuang and Luo Na to their seats, taking them everywhere he went, eating and living with them, and treating them as equals, which made the relatives somewhat unhappy.

He muttered to himself, "Who is he related to?"

The apocalypse.

The Huo family was still somewhat affected; their meals were significantly reduced, and the delicacies they used to enjoy, along with the air-freighted organic fruits and vegetables, were no longer available.

These days, being able to have meals with both meat and vegetables is considered a privileged life.

In the evenings, when all those little brats from relatives' houses and all sorts of related people come over, it's noisy and chaotic, like something out of a movie.

The banquet hall, which used to be used for parties, has now become a venue for banquets.

It's inexplicably strange.

Wu Zhedu, ever the innocent child he is, whispered, "It's like a banquet I had back in my hometown..."

Luo Na and Gao Lei almost burst out laughing. They suppressed their laughter and didn't dare to look around, afraid that if they made eye contact, they would lose control.

Huo Ling remained calm, "I've told you all before, we're all human at heart."

What high society? They're just people wearing a mask more than ordinary people.

They were just talking about trivial things.

Some people were peeking out from other tables, curious about what the eldest son, who hadn't been home for many years, looked like now, since it had indeed been a long time since they'd seen him.

"Xiao Ling formed her own team? Not officially part of the official team, right? Those scattered amateur teams outside aren't that great; sometimes you need to be officially registered!"

"Doesn't Uncle San have some connections? Why don't you pull some strings and get Xiaoling's team in? That way, the kid won't always want to run away. What kind of life can he accomplish by wandering around? If he comes back and gets a government job, he can help out the family, right? We aunts can also benefit from his connections."

"Sure! Why not! I know that battalion commander really well! We're buddies! I can easily fit a small squad into his team! How many people are in Xiao Ling's team?" Uncle San spoke with a thick lisp, his tone becoming quite arrogant after a few drinks.

A young person in their early teens complained, "Isn't the government now open its doors to recruiting civilian teams? Why do we still have to go through connections here?"

The adults immediately berated the child, saying things like, "What do you know, you're just a child?"

"Can someone who just gets in anywhere be good? You need connections to get into a good place! You don't understand!"

"That's right, adults are talking, you kids should keep your mouths shut and go eat your food!"

"Hey, Ling, what kind of superpower do you have? What level is it? If it's too low, I can't really put you guys in here."

He said that if the rank is too low, it's difficult to get into a good guild.

Madam Huo was protective of her own, insisting that her eldest grandson was definitely the best.

Everyone laughed and chimed in with their own opinions, but they didn't really believe it. Some people said they had never seen his team name online.

These people burst into laughter again.

Huo Ling ignored them completely, just eating by herself, serving food to Lin Shuangshuang, and letting Luo Na and the other two eat as much as they wanted.

The Huo family's culinary team remained unchanged.

The craftsmanship is quite good.

Lorna and the others ate with relish, but their appetites waned after hearing what these people were saying.

Lin Shuangshuang didn't eat anything, frowning and listening intently to their sarcastic remarks. She wanted to beat them up; she was really unhappy.

Turning around, a few relatives appeared at the door, rushing around, each carrying a large treasure in their arms. They were my uncle's sons, saying they had obtained several high-level alien cores.

The third uncle immediately raised his voice even louder, very excited, and patted his son on the shoulder, saying, "Good lad! You've really made your dad proud! What's this alien core? Show it to your cousin, he's also the captain of the superhuman team! We don't know anything about it, but he'll definitely recognize it when he's out in the world."

He suggested that Huo Ling take a look, "Perfect timing, Ling, your cousin wasn't as good at studying as you before, but his superpowers after the apocalypse are pretty good. He's become a captain with over twenty men under him. You two are captains, so it's good to have a chat, ah, a chat, hahaha."

Huo Yichuan's face darkened. In the past, his cousin and nephew were inferior to his family in every way, but now they were getting too big for their britches. He was seething with anger and looked at his eldest son with disdain.

Seeing this, Wen Jingshu quickly said, "Although Huo Ting and Huo Yuan are not the captains, they have also activated their superpowers. They are both wind-type, which is not bad. It's just that they haven't gone out on missions yet. Their teacher said that after a few more days of training, they can go out and hone their skills. You two brothers are talking about these things, so you can also take care of the younger brothers and learn together."

Huo Yichuan's expression softened considerably when he remembered that his two sons were still quite promising.

My cousin, who was twenty-five or twenty-six, used to be compared to Huo Ling. He could never beat Huo Ling and was always second best. Now that he heard Huo Ling was back, he was so smug. He put on airs and said, "Great! I haven't seen my cousin in a long time. Let's go see him together. Hey, aunties and grandmas, don't touch him! Be careful of my precious baby!"

They're really good at putting on a show.

Rona wasn't really enjoying this gossip, muttering under her breath, "What kind of heteronuclear core is this? Showing off like that..."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe also looked over.

Almost everyone was looking forward to it, but when they opened it, they found three four-star heteronuclei.

Rona thought she was blind. How much? A four-star heterocore?

They treat a four-star alien core, which they don't even bother to look at in their little castle, like a treasure?

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe almost burst out laughing.

I'm struck by how clear it is that there's a real divide between the inside and outside of the city. It's so hard to make progress in a safe base; these days, you have to go out and hone your skills.

People in the city treasured the four-star alien core, while the squads outside the city took it for granted.

Huo Ling didn't care at all. The drama these people put on was unimportant to him. He was just coming back to go through the motions, see his parents, and then leave.

I won't be able to stay for more than a few days.

He now regrets being too soft-hearted; staying here is driving him crazy with all the noise.

But seeing the worried look in her grandmother's eyes, she felt a lump in her throat.

Lin Shuangshuang squeezed his hand reassuringly, "Don't rush, don't rush. One day has already passed, and we'll be leaving in two more days. Ignore them, just focus on your grandma." She felt that these people were being rather awkward.

The little monster asked in confusion, "Don't they feel embarrassed doing this?"

Huo Ling was amused by her. "I don't think so. As long as they're happy." He didn't want to get involved with them. They weren't important.

Lin Shuangshuang said no, "We can't let them look down on you!"

Little monster, fiercely protective of her husband.

He didn't want to be looked down upon, even though Huo Ling was also very capable and outstanding.

Lin Shuangshuang could sense that Huo Ling's superpower level was not low, far exceeding that of her cousin. So when the cousin, feeling smug after being praised by his relatives, confidently asked, "What level is my cousin's superpower?"

She blurted out, "You're just a second-tier ability user, you bought this four-star alien core, didn't you?"

The other person was stunned. "How did you know my ability level? Wait, who are you?!"
