Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The next morning, Zhou Mingrui's life returned to normal. He entered the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and was momentarily stunned; it seemed some tomatoes and eggs were missing...

Is Tio hungry? Or is it the bell?

Never mind, I'll just put some cooked food in the fridge next time. When I get hungry, I can just microwave it.

Turn on the induction cooker, boil water with salt and a little cooking oil, and then add the pasta after the water boils.

Take out the marinated pork chops, add onions and green peppers, add black pepper sauce, stir-fry quickly until the sauce is released, then add the cooked spaghetti after draining. Soon a simple black pepper beef tenderloin stir-fried spaghetti is ready.

Just then, two little girls, dressed in their little skirts, came down from upstairs.

"Let's eat..."

After finishing breakfast and seeing the two kittens off at the Star Ring Research Institute, Zhou Mingrui headed towards his office.

They had only gone halfway when they saw a Dou Zong expert carrying a box hurrying towards the shooting range.

"Ok?"

Seeing the hurried footsteps of the Dou Zong powerhouse, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but follow, wondering what strange things they had done while he was away.

The Dou Zong expert handed the box to a test gunner wearing a general combat uniform, and Fly rubbed his hands together, saying, "Captain Li, thank you for your trouble."

"It's okay, this is just my job."

After speaking, Captain Li took the box, opened it to reveal a futuristic-looking firearm inside, and then began to assemble it.

This gun was very special; Captain Li assembled it very slowly, taking three minutes to complete the assembly.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Mingrui asked as he walked up to the Dou Zong expert.

"Of course it's a test... uh, boss, what brings you here?" The Dou Zong expert only realized halfway through his sentence that his boss had arrived.

"It's nothing, just came over to see what you've been muttering about this time?"

"Nothing much, just a special type of bullet, an unexpected find during experiments with Yaojing."

Zhou Mingrui nodded and looked at the weapon in the test shooter's hand. It looked somewhat like the Type 191, but the barrel was rectangular and there was a superconducting battery in the stock... Goodness, this is an electromagnetic gun.

After clicking the 20-round magazine onto the rifle, Captain Li rested the gun on the table, adjusted his breathing, aimed at the distant target, and then pulled the trigger.

*Thud!* A bullet was fired from the captain's gun, the sound being slightly softer than that of a gunpowder gun. Zhou Mingrui looked towards the target, but the scene he had imagined—a bullet blasting the target apart—did not occur.

After one shot, the test gunner removed the magazine and turned off the power to the 191 electromagnetic plate... Only then did Zhou Mingrui see the bullets in the magazine clearly; each bullet's tip was crystal clear...

"Liquid bullets?"

"No, the boss should call it liquefied crystal bullets. These bullets have a special characteristic..."

At this point, the Dou Zong expert became mysterious, pressed a button, and a human ballistic gel target was slowly teleported over from a distance, and soon it was delivered to the group.

"...Boss, ordinary bullets kill by utilizing the cavitation effect, but this bullet doesn't!"

After saying that, Dou Zongqiang made an explosion gesture with his hand.

"When this liquefied crystal projectile enters the human body, liquefied crystals will splatter everywhere, but this is just the beginning..."

After the Dou Zong expert cut open the ballistic gel, Zhou Mingrui's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing the scene inside... There's a kind of pain that's painful just to look at!

"hiss..."

Tiny crystal clusters are distributed in the ballistic gel. The liquefied crystals turn into solids, and during the solidification process, irregular needle-like clusters grow on the crystals.

"...The liquefied crystals will solidify rapidly, but during the solidification process, they will expand and form irregular clusters of protrusions. Tiny crystals will enter the blood vessels and, carried by the blood, cut along the vessels. Once they enter the heart or brain, they will cause severe internal trauma..."

"...If it happens to flow into the joints, it's like getting gout. Of course, the worst case scenario is if it flows into the bladder."

Zhou Mingrui quickly reached out to stop him. Just listening to the Dou Zong expert speak, he felt pain (unravel). He had already imagined the terrible state of a person after being shot, with internal organs punctured like plugs... and the unbearable pain of surviving gout and bladder stones.

"Isn't this a bit...inhumane?"

"Huh? Boss, liquefied crystal bullets aren't in the Geneva Convention. Besides, a contract that hasn't been signed is just like toilet paper."

Zhou Mingrui nodded. That's true... Although rabbits love peace, this kind of bullet is just right for dealing with certain beasts who have been dehumanized.

Chapter 154 The Third Year (34/56)

As the Spring Festival approaches, bright red lanterns are hung high, and the festive atmosphere fills the air.

The Spring Festival is a very special holiday for people born in the Year of the Rabbit, and it is also a special holiday for people on the mainland. People from many other countries come to Shangqiu to experience the special festival of the people of Shangqiu.

"Brother Qiang, Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"

Zhou Mingrui, who was putting up Spring Festival couplets with his two kittens, greeted Shi Qiang and his wife as they got out of the car. The two kittens also quickly greeted him from the side.

Happy Chinese New Year! I brought you some New Year's gifts...

After saying that, Shi Qiang moved the New Year's goods from the car to Zhou Mingrui's villa.

"Brother Qiang, why don't you stay for dinner?"

Don't give me that nonsense...

Shi Qiang waved his hand. He ate lunch with Zhou Mingrui almost every day, so what was one more meal?

"...Okay, I'm leaving now, you go ahead with your work."

After seeing Shi Qiang and his wife off, Zhou Mingrui continued with his work.

"The bell is on the left, Theo is on the right, I'm going inside to get the 'Fu' character..."

"Okay, Lao Zhou~"

"clear."

After working for more than ten minutes, I finally managed to put up the new couplets and the character "福" (fortune), and then went back to my room to prepare a simple New Year's Eve dinner.

Bell and Theo were in the kitchen, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing. Bell's hair was styled in a bun, while Theo's was tied in pigtails. They were intently wrapping dumplings, their eyes half-closed...

Lingdang deftly picked up the dumpling wrapper and skillfully wrapped a cute-looking dumpling.

(=￣ω￣=)?(=￣ω￣=)

"Tio, aren't the dumplings Bell made cute?"

Tio glanced at the dumplings that Lingdang had made, and then, as if by machine, he made dumplings that were almost all the same.

"Bell, efficiency comes first."

Before they knew it, the two little girls were having a fight...

"Ahem..." Zhou Mingrui coughed lightly, watching the two little girls mechanically wrapping dumplings like machines, and said, "...There are only three of us, can we finish making so many...?"

stare!

The two kittens looked up at the same time, their amber eyes fixed on him.

"Uh... if you want to wrap more, then wrap more."

It's rare that the two little girls like making dumplings; we can just give away the extra ones... Zhou Mingrui ate them all; he'll probably be stuffed to death.

Zhou Mingrui sat in the chair, observing the two kittens.

Bell's delicate little face was covered in white flour as she focused intently on wrapping dumplings. Next to her, Tio had some flour stuck to his nose, and with his hands working together, he was like a dumpling-making machine, becoming more and more skilled as he got more proficient.

I don't know what's going on lately, but the two kittens have suddenly started learning to cook, which makes Zhou Mingrui, who has been a stay-at-home dad for two years, feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Mingrui asked Shi Qiang about this, and in Shi Qiang's words: "The child has grown up and has his own ideas."

Thinking about it, it's true. Bell and Tio are almost 15 years old without even realizing it... Time really flies.

Time flies!

In the home of the old man in Shangqiu, the old man, who had prepared a table full of food, sat in the position of the head of the household, took out his phone and sent a voice message: "Have you sent all the things to the orphanage?"

A short while later, the other party replied with a voice message: "The item has been delivered."

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

The old man picked up a slippery slice of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and squinted his eyes as he enjoyed it.

This lean meat is highly nutritious and can even help the body metabolize urea and reduce purine levels, making it a real boon for men!

The orphanage was not intended for the rabbits of Shangqiu, but rather a large-scale public facility for children rescued from the cult, funded by Star Ring Heavy Industries.

Of the rescued children, only a few were reunited with their parents; the rest were mostly orphans whom no one wanted. Out of humanitarian considerations, the Shangqiu government decided to adopt these homeless children.

In the cafeteria, tables were set with delicious-looking food. The children sat at the tables for a week, and even when they were very hungry, no one dared to eat on their own.

They were so sensible, so sensible it was heartbreaking. The dean couldn't help but stand up and clap his hands to attract the children's attention.

The sight of pairs of eyes, gradually emerging from their numbness, staring at him made the headmaster feel the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Every child had a tragic past, some even suffering lifelong psychological trauma and physical disabilities. They were not precious exceptions like Bell or Tio; the cult treated them even more brutally.

The dean's responsibility is to help these children overcome their psychological trauma as soon as possible and grow up healthily.

"Children, you may not know me, so let me introduce myself..."

"...My name is Lei Ba. From today onwards, we are a group, a family..."

At this point, some of the children around him had a flicker in their eyes. The word "family" felt both unfamiliar and a luxury to them.

"...I know that each of you has a heavy past, but those things are in the past. The main body of the cult has been eliminated by us, and we are still cleaning up the remaining forces of the cult!"

"...Children, you are now in Shangqiu. No one will make fun of you. The valiant P.L.A. will protect your safety and will not allow any outsiders to bully you..."

At this point, Lei Ba waved his hands vigorously and said excitedly:

"...From now on, we will teach you knowledge here, giving you the means to survive in society. We don't ask for anything in return! Nor do we need anything in return!"

A new life awaits you. Alright, children, you must be hungry. Let's eat!

The sound of food being served echoed in the canteen. The delicious food brought tears to the eyes of some children whose gazes had been dull, and the tears dripped onto the ground.

Soon, the sounds of sucking and wolfing down food filled the dining table, and in the eyes of each child, a spark was being ignited.

--------------------------------------

The Abyss Sea, the Breath of Earth Base.

At this moment, the Xirang base is also filled with a strong festive atmosphere, with red lanterns decorating everywhere. However, due to its special location, many soldiers are still on duty and on standby.

After three years of construction, the Deep Abyss Sea Breath Soil Base has become a large-scale comprehensive base.

There is local oil production and a small chemical production line. The Xirang base has no shortage of fuel, which has given the rabbit a taste of what it means to be rich and powerful. It vigorously trains its navy and air force, killing tons of "fish" every day.

The port is mostly filled with surface ships, primarily Type 056L, with a small number of Type 054L ships responsible for long-range escort missions. The Xirang base is mainly for near-shore defense, ensuring China's maritime interests in the near seas.
