Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The doctor's final advice was to undergo long-term physical recuperation.

At first, he remained calm while looking at the report, but as the number of tests increased, Zhou Mingrui felt his blood pressure rising steadily.

Huff... Zhou Mingrui took a deep breath to calm his blood pressure. Lingdang's body had been ravaged by long-term human experimentation and was riddled with holes. Only long-term recuperation could restore her health... I guess.

Soon, Lingdang came out led by the female doctor, and she looked to be in good spirits.

Goodbye, Grandma.

"Sigh..." The female doctor's expression was somewhat unpleasant; Lingdang's physical condition could be described as very bad: "...Child, take good care of yourself when you go back."

Little Bell politely said goodbye to the female doctor and walked up to Zhou Mingrui in her little leather shoes.

Your body needs...

Zhou Mingrui organized his thoughts, and was about to tactfully describe Lingdang's physical condition when she interrupted him.

“I know I’m not feeling well…” Bell knows her own body best: “...But it’s okay, at least I’m happy here.”

“Given your poor health, and out of humanitarian considerations, you can stay in Shangqiu for the time being to recuperate. You don’t need to worry about the expenses…” Zhou Mingrui paused for a moment and then said, “…you can pay us back on credit when you are able to do so…”

"You can stay!" Bell's eyes lit up immediately, and the money could be owed to her later, which made her brows relax. She was quite confident in herself, after all, those demons had put a lot of effort into her, injecting her with a large amount of precious potions.

"Alright, come with me, I'll take you to complete the formalities."

The three drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau in Shangqiu. After filling out most of the forms, Zhou Mingrui suddenly became worried about the guardian section.

According to rabbit law, Bell is only 12 years old and still a minor... She needs a guardian to stay here.

Well, he's just a temporary guardian anyway... With that thought, Zhou Mingrui wrote his name in the guardian's seat and handed it to the staff.

After giving Zhou Mingrui a strange look, the staff quickly processed the paperwork and entered his information into the Shangqiu Civil Affairs Data Center after the system verified it.

All data in Shangqiu is stored in the Shangqiu Cloud Data Center, which manages Shangqiu through the cloud data center and big data system.

Next to the cloud data center, a supercomputing center is reserved to prepare for the future big data and Internet of Things, at which time all smart devices will be connected to the network.

The Internet of Things enables information to be obtained without scanning; every object can explain who it is, what it is used for, and where it is. It can connect with big data and cloud computing on its own. Every smart device knows exactly what it should do without human intervention.

The only thing humans need to do is prevent smart devices from doing things that harm humanity.

Before long, all of Lingdang's documents were processed.

"This is your temporary ID card... Don't lose it, you'll need it in many places; it serves as your proof of identity."

Lingdang took her "temporary ID card," looked at her photo, and immediately smiled from the bottom of her heart. Then her expression fell again as she thought of her dead companions... She paused for a moment when she saw the section for guardians.

"Zhou Mingrui?"

“Yes, this is my name…” Zhou Mingrui attached the wearable Huawei smartwatch to the bell on his wrist: “…There is a contact list here. If you encounter a problem that you can’t solve yourself, you can contact me.”

"Oh..."

Here's a simple demonstration of how to make a phone call using your wristwatch; Lingdang learned it after just one look.

"This is your bank card... You can think of it as money. You just need to swipe it when you want to use it. This watch can also be used as money, with a monthly limit of 1000 yuan. If you need any additional money, you can contact me."

In Shangqiu's public canteens, a meal consisting of four dishes and a soup costs less than 4 yuan, while a meal at a private canteen costs a maximum of 10 yuan. Clothes and other items are also very cheap. With other extra expenses, 1000 yuan a month is enough for a 12-year-old girl.

"This is your student registration form. Once you learn Chinese and pass the exam, you can study here..."

As they were talking, Zhou Mingrui noticed that Lingdang was staring at him and asked with some confusion, "...Uh? Is there a problem?"

"No."

Lingdang shook her head, her amber eyes scrutinizing Zhou Mingrui. After confirming that he was telling the truth and was genuinely trying to help her, she gave him a deep look, as if trying to memorize his appearance.

Chapter 68 Miss Qiu's Sister

"The boss is here!"

The young Dou Zong expert looked at his benefactor with a radiant face, smoothed his increasingly thinning long hair, and a few more strands flew away in the wind.

Wow, I've gotten stronger again! I'm not far from becoming a Dou Zun!

"Ah."

Zhou Mingrui nodded and walked into the Star Ring 660 Engineering Research Institute, with Lingdang following curiously behind him. Although it was called a research institute, it was currently just a shell; the construction team hadn't yet been able to help with the construction.

The main purpose of bringing Lingdang here was to let her see the terrorists' orthogonal mechs and see if she could recall any valuable information... As for leaking secrets, what could a child understand?

"This is the orbment mecha?"

Beside the "Unicorn," an Imperial orbal mech stood quietly on the ground, but its armor had been completely dismantled, revealing its internal transmission and control systems.

As for the internal electronic equipment, due to the different technology trees, it can only be used as a reference. It will definitely be replaced by products of Earth's technology tree in the future.

On a platform not far away, there are some parts and main structures collected from other destroyed orbal mechs. Researchers are studying their structure and the purpose of each part.

The Rebonian Empire has dedicated so many years to the research and development of mechs, and the technology they have accumulated is still worth learning from for China—the principle of "learning from others' strengths" applies here.

"Hmm... the design is quite ingenious, and the joint structure is worth referencing..." The young Dou Zong powerhouse's eyes began to light up when he talked about the power-guided mecha: "...Boss, next our Project 660 will be divided into two directions, one is powered armor, and the other is large-scale civilian engineering mecha and police mecha."

Zhou Mingrui nodded. A 3-4 meter power armor would be just right... There's no need to worry too much about civilian and police use.

Civilian mechs are basically similar to SCVs, versatile tools for construction sites.

As for the police mechs, their weapons are replaced with water cannons, rope net launchers, and tear gas rockets. The red and blue police lights on their shoulders are replaced with lights that are about 6-7 meters long. In fact, apart from the cockpit, no other parts need to be protected, which can greatly reduce their weight.

A seven-meter-tall mech has an absolute intimidating effect on ordinary people. If it could be equipped with a dedicated transport aircraft, it could be rapidly deployed in urban areas.

The bell beside her noticed the cult's insignia on the orbal mech—a vertical eye.

Instantly, the bell seemed to see an inescapable nightmare, painful memories surfaced before her eyes, her face gradually turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.

“I’m sorry, Lingdang… I called you here today to see if you can remember anything. Although it will be very painful for Lingdang, only with enough clues can we find their lair and rescue more children like you…” Zhou Mingrui bent down to meet Lingdang’s gaze and said seriously, “…This organization has been listed as an anti-humanity organization by us. It is an enemy that must be eliminated. We will definitely wipe it out completely!”

Whether you're looking for someone or searching for a secret organization, you need clues. Without clues, you're just like a headless fly.

"Okay, if that's the case, Bell is willing to help you!"

Bell nodded vigorously, raised her chin, and stared intently at the insignia representing the cult, squinting as she carefully recalled those painful memories.

at the same time.

The convoy entered the town closest to Shangqiu, as usual.

"You've arrived!" The town mayor greeted the team leader of the convoy warmly.

"Here you go, this is the list..." After handing the purchasing list to the mayor, the team leader took out two photos and handed them to the mayor, carefully observing his expression while subtly asking, "...Have you seen these two people before?"

The mayor took the photo with a puzzled look. Upon seeing the middle-aged man and woman in the photo, he immediately recalled the couple who had visited him that night.

"I've seen them. I remember it clearly. They came not long ago, saying they were looking for their daughter. I told them to try going to Shangqiu to look... By the way, have they found their daughter?"

The captain suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pity they didn't find their daughter, but our Miss Qiu's sister really wants to meet them."

"Miss Qiu's sister?" The town mayor was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

"Hmm, a polite yet warm lady." The captain chuckled and began to divert the mayor's attention by talking about other things.

.............

"Bell took advantage of the guards' negligence and escaped from hell..." Bell slowly recounted her escape: "...That night it was very dark outside. Bell didn't know where she was. All she could think about was escaping and not getting caught by those demons..."

Zhou Mingrui glanced at Shi Qiang, who nodded almost imperceptibly, and then turned on the recorder to write down the escape route that Lingdang had described.

"...After escaping, Lingdang went to the nearest town, I remember the town's name was..."

As the bell recounted its story, its escape route gradually became clearer. By tracing the bell's escape route in reverse, the approximate location of the enemy base could be determined. Finding its exact location was only a matter of time... After all, such a large base must need to eat, drink, and relieve itself.

Even if Shangqiu Teng doesn't take action against them now, intelligence work can't be neglected. If we find the lair of these inhumane elements, the rabbit won't hold back.

"Okay, that's enough for now, thank you, Bell... Let's go have dinner."

"Hmm..." Bell nodded.

Looking at Lingdang's pale face, Zhou Mingrui felt a pang of heartache. Lingdang was a very sensible child... He glanced at the "unicorn" next to the orbal mecha one last time and then decided to take Lingdang out for something nice to eat.

Lingdang sensed Zhou Mingrui's helplessness and followed his gaze to see a white mecha that was completely different from the "skinny" orbal mecha.

Pointing to the "unicorn," he asked curiously, "What's that?"

"That... I guess you could call it my toy."

"Toy?"

"Hmm... because nobody's piloting it." Zhou Mingrui sighed inwardly. They still hadn't found a pilot. After all... they couldn't possibly produce a second one. They'd just have to treat it as a large toy.

Lingdang looked thoughtfully at the "unicorn," then at Zhou Mingrui, a glint of light flashing in her amber eyes.

Chapter 69 The Bell: An Ordinary Day

It's another new dawn on Mingrui Star. Soon, the sun of hope will shine on this planet Gaia.

Bell opened her amber eyes, sat up in bed, rubbed her eyes, put on her cartoon slippers, and wobbled toward the bathroom.

Pick up the electric toothbrush for children, squeeze on some fruit-flavored toothpaste, turn on the toothbrush, and put it in their mouth.

Buzzing... As the brush vibrated, the aroma of fruit filled my mouth, and my drowsy amber eyes gradually cleared.

After rinsing her mouth with water from a cup, Lingdang was completely refreshed.

After washing up, I picked up a black hairband, tied a big bow on my head, put on a light dress, and carried my schoolbag to the cafeteria.

Yesterday, to Zhou Mingrui's astonishment, Lingdang passed her Chinese exam and will be going to school today.

Upon entering the cafeteria, although the uncles didn't mind her cutting in line, Lingdang refused this privilege, picked up her tray, and consciously lined up behind the uncles to wait for her food.

"Oh, it's Little Bell..." The round-faced chef smiled like a Buddha as soon as he saw Little Bell, and placed the double-skin milk pudding that Little Bell liked on her plate: "...Here you go, the usual."

"Thank you, uncle~~"

"Haha..." The round-faced chef felt healed yet again.

Carrying her tray, she walked to her usual spot and sat down. She glanced up at the table where Zhou Mingrui usually sat and realized he wasn't there.

It seems he's busy with something else... Lingdang thought to herself.

After finishing her double-skin milk pudding, Lingdang washed her plate and placed it in the sterilizer. She then walked out of the cafeteria and stood at the bus stop by the roadside, glancing at the time on her wristwatch.

0713

The bus comes every 15 minutes, and it will be here in two minutes.
