Otherworld Girl Development Guide

With a beep, the door opened, and Zhou Mingrui led the two little girls into the two-story villa.

The first floor has a simple, modern style and belongs to Zhou Mingrui's area.

The second floor has a cozy, pastoral style and is used to settle the two little girls.

"This is Bell's room..."

"This is Tio's room..."

After saying that, Zhou Mingrui put up a black rabbit and a cartoon image that looked like both Totoro and a fat cat on the door for identification.

The black rabbit is Bell's room, and the "fat cat" is Tio's room.

Immediately, the two kittens' eyes lit up.

After settling the two little girls in, Zhou Mingrui put on an apron, took out ingredients from the refrigerator, and started cooking for them. After all, he had already raised them, so he couldn't just leave them hungry.

"Brother Qiang, aren't you going to stay and have a bite?" Zhou Mingrui, who was making small cookies, asked Shi Qiang as he was about to leave.

"No, you guys eat first. Don't forget you have a medical check-up appointment for the two kids tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up at nine o'clock sharp. If there's any emergency, just call me. Your sister-in-law and I live next door."

After saying that, Shi Qiang left the villa and walked towards the family building not far away. This closed courtyard was very safe, and outsiders could not get in at all. Besides, there were no "outsiders" in Shangqiu now. As long as Zhou Mingrui did not return to Earth, there would not be so much trouble.

After Shi Qiang left, Zhou Mingrui continued preparing dinner, and while he was at it, he took out some fresh fruit and started making juice...

As Zhou Mingrui was working on it, he suddenly paused... Wait, was he getting a little too into the role? How did he become a full-time stay-at-home dad? Was he really that kind of self-disciplined person?!

Just this one meal! Next time, we'll eat out!

The second floor of the villa.

In Theo's room, Theo stood there, staring blankly into the room, feeling that everything had happened too suddenly. He had been in hell, but suddenly he had been rescued and was now living a normal life.

He walked up to the table, looked at the thin rectangular box, and in front of it were some machines with many raised parts and unidentified symbols. Next to it was a white "little mouse". He glanced at the box connected to the rectangular box and tilted his head slightly.

Following the inspiration in his mind, he pressed the largest button on the machine, and the screen lit up immediately, causing Theo to widen his eyes.

In less than ten seconds, the computer system entered the desktop. Tio looked at some icons with square characters below them and immediately realized that if he wanted to learn how to use this machine, he needed to learn these square characters.

So how do I turn off this machine...? After thinking for a moment, Theo simply chose to unplug the power cord.

In the room with the bell.

Since witnessing the destruction of the sect's branch, Lingdang no longer felt any pressure. Instead, her mind became clearer. She sat in her seat, swinging her legs, and looked at the eighth-grade textbook with great interest.

There was a thick instruction manual in the corner of the table... She got it from Zhou Mingrui.

After discovering that she didn't understand much of the knowledge inside, Lingdang decided to learn. Since she didn't understand the advanced knowledge, she would just start learning from scratch.

I'm almost finished reading this book. I'll borrow the junior high textbook tomorrow; that should be a bit difficult... I guess.

Chapter 80 Turbulent Times

In the conference room in Shangqiu.

A bigwig was presiding over a meeting upstairs. After swiftly and decisively eliminating the inhumane elements, his attention shifted back to development and construction.

Zhou Mingrui sat in an inconspicuous corner, holding a notebook in his hand, occasionally taking notes on what the bigwig said, trying to grasp the spirit of the meeting. Much important information was hidden in the inconspicuous words.

This meeting was to discuss the future development direction of Shangqiu, or to unify internal opinions and work together towards a common goal.

"With the increase in immigration, the pressure on our construction is gradually shifting from the Production and Construction Corps as the main force to the civilian sector..."

"...The liberated construction corps will shift its focus to basic transportation infrastructure; it is imperative to expedite the repair of transportation links with the kingdom's industrial cities..."

"...In addition, a railway to Krobel must also be built at the same time. Fractal silica is of great importance to us and is a huge opportunity to break the external blockade. We must take it seriously!"

Zhou Mingrui immediately jotted down the railway to Krobel in his notebook and marked it with an emphasis mark. He recalled the map of the kingdom in his mind. This railway would pass through the desert in the north of the kingdom, which would be a great test of infrastructure capabilities. However, building a high-speed railway in the Dog Family's country had given him a wealth of experience in desert construction.

Incidentally, the kingdom's desert also needs to be managed, but these investments are worthwhile. After all, CPUs can be grown from fractal silica placed in the ground. Who can resist that?

...........

Krober, a roadside restaurant.

Ellie's large bow swayed slightly as she flipped through the newspaper, pausing for a moment when she saw the headline, "Shocking! Violent Flash Appears in the Kingdom of Bell."

According to our reporter's investigation... an unexplained high-intensity light has appeared in the eastern mountainous region of the Kingdom of Bel, clearly visible in the Republic of Kalva... suspected to be a mass destruction weapon developed by the Kingdom of Bel... Our newspaper is continuing to follow up on this matter.

Below the newspaper is a comparison photo showing a mountain peak turned into a deep pit.

“Ellie, it’s a rare opportunity to have afternoon tea together, so stop reading the newspaper all the time and let’s chat…” Mary stirred her juice in her glass listlessly and said jokingly, “...like, let’s talk about your ‘friend’.”

“Mary~” Ellie looked at her best friend with a shy smile. Ever since her best friend found out that she and Zhou Mingrui often wrote letters, she has been teasing her about it.

"Alright, really, I don't know why you've been so into reading newspapers since you came back... But if you're talking about this, I do have some inside information."

Mary glanced mysteriously to both sides, then whispered, "Ellie, you know my family's company has a partnership with the Epsom Group..."

"...That night, the Epsilon Foundation's latest orienteering detector detected a high-energy reaction, meaning it was a weapon we knew absolutely nothing about..."

At this point, Mary made a gesture of embracing the sun with both hands.

"...With a bang, the entire mountain was turned into a deep crater! This really scared the Rebonia Empire and the Republic of Calva, and their attitude towards the Kingdom of Bel softened considerably."

Ellie blinked her gray eyes and turned to look at the huge pit in the newspaper... Could it be related to Zhou Mingrui and the others?

The Kingdom of Bel, Queen Estée's bedroom.

"Grandma, that's the whole story..." Corliss recounted the entire Dawn Operation to Queen Estée in great detail.

"They actually possess the power of such a weapon, and it can hit targets so far..." Queen Estée was somewhat surprised, as it attacked a target more than a thousand kilometers away and precisely destroyed it.

This reminds me of the "demon" sealed away by the goddess in mythology. Could it be related to the people of Shangqiu? Did they possess powers they shouldn't have and were thus sealed away by the goddess?

"...However, thanks to this operation, the pressure from the Rebonian Empire on the kingdom has temporarily eased. We must take this opportunity to quickly resolve the internal troubles of the kingdom!"

"Is it a big problem, Grandma?" Corliss asked softly, noticing Queen Estée's furrowed brow.

"It's not just big, it's extremely big. Most of the officials in the eastern kingdom have been corrupted by the cult, trafficking children, accepting bribes, and becoming the cult's protectors. Grandma will teach you a lesson here, Corliss..."

"...We must not hesitate to crush these parasites at this time! Otherwise, sooner or later they will threaten the foundation of the kingdom, and any leniency will lead to the downfall of the entire kingdom..."

As she spoke, Queen Estée's eyes flashed with determination. Although she was a relatively peaceful person, as a queen, ruthlessness was also necessary... Although the scene that Corliss saw was censored, Yuri did not. Upon returning, she immediately went to Queen Estée and reported the actions of the Order.

"...And the cult. After the intelligence department is reorganized, the first thing to do is to launch a full-scale attack on the cult, drive these demons out of the kingdom, and protect our people!"

at the same time.

The residence of the Prime Minister of the Rebonian Empire.

A middle-aged man stood by the window, holding a wine glass filled with purple liquid in his right hand. He gently swirled the glass, the purple liquid soaking the inside. He seemed lost in thought.

On the table behind him were intelligence reports about the massive explosion in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Bel, which were likely also distributed to other countries.

The Republic of Kalva.

The lawmakers are also discussing the massive explosion that occurred a few days ago.

As the second most affected country after the Kingdom of Bel, the Republic of Kalva attaches great importance to this matter.

However, it's a parliamentary system... those who know, know... After discussing for three or four hours, no useful proposals were made, and all that was left was for the members of parliament to bicker with each other.

The only remaining conclusion was to send intelligence agents to the kingdom.

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

A man who looked like a young scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the distant mountain peaks that had turned into deep pits, adjusted his glasses, and squinted almost imperceptibly.

There were many onlookers around, including people from the Rebonian Empire, the Republic of Calva, and tourists from other countries, but their exact composition was unclear.

Tsk... Caesar died so meaninglessly, what a waste, and he even lost an important stronghold of the Order.

"Dr. Sim, we should go now, or we'll miss Krobel's regular ship." Sim's companion waved from behind.

"Okay, coming right away."

The young student beamed with a bright smile and followed the other tourists as they walked into the distance.

Oh well... anyway, all the research has been done, it's just a pity about those two precious test subjects.

Chapter 81 Punishment~ Life is getting more and more unpredictable.

It's a new day, and the hopeful sunlight shines on Mingrui Star, bringing vitality to this planet.

Early in the morning, Zhou Mingrui was busy in the kitchen of the villa, taking down two baskets of steamed dumplings and two bowls of double-skin milk pudding and putting them in the refrigerator. Little Lingdang loves to eat double-skin milk pudding... He just wondered if the round-faced cook would feel disappointed after Lingdang stopped going to the canteen.

Pour the heated milk into a cup. Children need nutrition when they are growing.

After busying himself for half an hour, Zhou Mingrui looked at the breakfast on the table and fell into deep thought... Oh well, I'll eat out next time.

On the second floor of the villa, the door with the black rabbit sticker creaked open, and Lingdang yawned. The next second, she met the eyes of another kitten, a thought flashing through their minds.

The two kittens silently came out, stood in the washroom between the two rooms, and picked up electric toothbrushes to brush their teeth.

Amidst the buzzing of electric toothbrushes, the two kittens began their daily brainwave exchange.

Good morning, Theo...

"Good morning, bell..."

"It's my older sister..."

"I refuse..."

The two kittens exchanged opinions thoroughly, each holding their own reservations, and unfortunately, they did not reach a consensus.

Two kittens sat at the front and back of the dining table. Zhou Mingrui, wearing an apron, stood in the kitchen, holding out double-skin milk pudding in his hands and placing it in front of Lingdang.

Lingdang's eyes lit up immediately; she never expected to be able to eat double-skin milk at home.

"Eat slowly, there's more."

Thank you~

Tio stared at Zhou Mingrui with his amber eyes.

"Wait a minute, Tio has one too..."

After saying that, Zhou Mingrui took another bowl of double-skin milk from the refrigerator and placed it in front of Theo.

Tio paused for a moment, then tilted his head to look at Zhou Mingrui: "Thank you?"

"Tio, eat slowly too, there's more in the fridge."
