Chapter 16

　　"But he's right behind you."

　　"Of course I know this isn't just for the sake of getting a magic pattern."

　　While he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on the back of his head. Alan's eyes went dark and he fell straight to the ground, struggling to look at Paul's back as he flashed away.

　　"No, Paul, there's no need to be so harsh when teaching a child a lesson."

　　As if to respond to his inner thoughts, Senis's panicked voice sounded at the right time.

　　"Honey! What are you doing!"

　　As his vision gradually dimmed, Paul reached out and grabbed his wife's waist hard.

　　"Don't worry, Alan is in very good physical condition. I know what to do. I'll knock him out for his mistake and give him a small punishment. By the way, I haven't..."

　　"You! Don't move. Mrs. Sorin is still outside. She is on duty at the clinic today. You..."

　　"I've already sent her home."

　　"Paul, you are not a human being. You don't even open your eyes to your brothers when you play in a uniform clinic. How can this be reasonable?"

　　The darkness engulfed the entangled figures of Paul and Ceness, and Allen twisted his head and fainted.

　　Unlike the fake fainting when he first met Luo Qixi in the forest, this time he fainted completely under the careful care of Brother Paul.

　　The Ruyan system panel slowly emerged and dissipated in the air.

　　[It is found that the host is making physical contact with Senis. The detoxification magic released by Senis within the past minute is being retrieved. ]

　　[Search successful, magic pattern has been embedded - intermediate detoxification technique. ]

　　[.So far, it's been pretty good~]

　　[Good night, Alan.]

Chapter 22 Can detoxification magic be used in this way? Speculations on how to obtain points

　　It's late at night.

　　A faint creaking sound was heard before Alan opened his eyes.

　　The moonlight swept in through the window, dyeing the floor white.

　　He found himself lying on the bedroom floor.

　　Alan stroked the back of his neck and straightened up from the ground. Fortunately, Paul and his wife were considerate enough to put a mattress under him.

　　Alan sniffed the smell on his clothes and muttered to himself helplessly.

　　".You have a strong smell of blood. I killed a wild boar today and got blood all over your body. I was afraid that it would stain the mattress and it would be hard to wash, so I just put it on the ground. That's very direct. But Brother Paul was really heavy-handed. Is it really necessary? In the end, you still have to thank me. Without me, where would you get the clinic PLAY to play?"

　　Squeak. Squeak.

　　Alan was stunned. There was not only his mumbling in the air, but also other strange noises.

　　Faint whispers came from the master bedroom next door.

　　"Honey, I can't do it anymore"

　　"Oh? It's just the beginning!"

　　".No."

　　".want."

　　".ah."

　　Alan slapped himself in the face.

　　'What bad luck! I shouldn't have woken up at this time!'

　　Alan lay down again, but the increasingly intense noise next door made him feel like a thorn in his side.

　　He forced himself to calm his mind and focus on the Dragon Saint Fighting Qi embryo core in his abdomen.

　　Next to the healing magic pattern that looks like a small tree, a water-like magic pattern that flashes with brown light is quietly embedded in the groove of the detoxification magic.

　　'In the original work, there are relatively few descriptions of detoxification magic. No, it's not less at all, but it's rarely used for normal purposes. It's mostly used to cure stomach upset or hangover. Detoxification magic. It seems that after the level is high, it can remove the negative state of the body. Can mercury remove control?'

　　'. I won't try it. The magic power recovery speed is too slow. It's not worth it.'

　　"Honey"

　　"No! I have to think of something else to distract myself. Sylphy's hair hasn't been cut short yet. It's a good thing I caught up. She's so delicate and pretty, like an SD doll."

　　"Oh, I really can't do it anymore."

　　'Well, this is Senis's voice.'

　　"Use healing and detoxification."

　　"Hmm, this is Paul's voice. Wait! What the hell are healing and detoxification? No, can this negative state also be removed by detoxification?"

　　Alan suddenly opened his eyes and somersaulted up from the floor.

　　"You are already an old married couple, why do you play basketball every day? Paul is now 24 years old, let me calculate. What about Senis? 22 years old? Ah, Senis gave birth to a child at the age of 17, and got pregnant at the age of 16. Paul, you are not a human! . If you calculate it this way, you are still energetic. No wonder. Oh, I can't sleep. Go take a shower. The bathroom is far from Paul and Senis' bedroom, so they shouldn't hear any noise. No, they will be more excited if they hear any noise."

　　Alan shook his head and tiptoed to open the door. He stuck his head out and looked, and then his neck stiffened.

　　In the dim corridor, Lilia was slumped at the door of Paul Senis' bedroom. The faint light diffused from the crack of Paul Senis' bedroom door, casting a straight spot of light on her face. She was only wearing a shirt, with her hands under her body.

　　Alan silently retracted his head and covered his face in pain.

　　"Is this a family habit? You always peek at the door of the master bedroom whenever someone comes, right? How attractive is that? It makes me curious!"

　　He sighed silently, walked to the floor where he had just slept, and was about to lie down again, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse of the fur he had peeled off the wild boar during the day, faintly shining with a soft luster in the night.

　　Alan blinked and came fully awake.

　　"Since I can't sleep well anyway, I might as well go out and finish what I promised yesterday, and then I can come back early tomorrow morning to take a shower. If I'm lucky, I might get something."

　　Alan nodded, stood up and opened the window, and the moonlight instantly flowed over the back of his hand like water.

　　Outside the window, the Buena Village was extremely quiet at night. The wind blew from afar along with the undulating grass and hit Alan's face.

　　He turned over and jumped through the window, landing silently in the yard outside and walking into the darkness.

　　——

　　The next morning, Rudy was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window. He opened his eyes in confusion, and then his eyes froze and he was stunned.

　　There was an exquisite shrine in front of his bed.

　　The shrine is very small, only about the size of Rudy's face. It has a smooth cut surface and clear texture, and exudes a damp woody scent, like the smell of a forest after rain.

　　He blinked and slowly turned his head to look to the side.

　　Sitting on the chair beside the bed, Alan was looking at him with his chin propped up, his eyes narrowed as usual.

　　"Morning, Rudy."

　　Rudy blinked and realized that he had fainted after being poisoned yesterday. He still had some resentment towards Allen before he fainted, but when he saw the shrine, the resentment disappeared instantly.

　　"Morning Alan."

　　"We agreed yesterday. I wanted the three of us to build this shrine together this afternoon, but something unexpected happened. It's my fault. I didn't expect your bodies couldn't handle eating too much Batir silk flower seed powder at once."

　　Alan rubbed his sleepy eyes and took out a black leather bag from behind.

　　Rudy couldn't help but move his gaze from Allen's face to the leather bag, and found that it was a piece of wild boar skin that Allen had specially cut off yesterday.

　　"It looks like the bucket bag that girls carried in my previous life. There are hidden buttons on it, and the buttons are made of dried seeds of some plants. This guy Allen is very thoughtful. But what is it used for?"

　　While thinking, Alan reached out and took the shrine from Rudy's hand, then stuffed it into his leather pocket neatly.

　　"Here, this way it's easy to carry and hide. If you put it under the bed, even if someone sees it, no one can open it to see what's inside, right?"

　　Rudy's mouth twitched.

　　"Hey, don't you know that everyone has a desire to spy? This will make it easier to be discovered!"

　　But he still stretched out his hands and solemnly accepted Alan's gift.

　　Alan then stood up.

　　"Well, the master and the mistress seem to be... uh, tired today. They haven't gotten up yet. Lilia... hasn't gotten up either. Anyway, you can stay in bed for a while."

　　The early morning sunlight was very soft, shining on Alan's face, and he yawned lazily.

　　"Let's go, I'm going to take a shower. I killed a pig yesterday and my body still smells of blood."

　　Rudy looked at his face and felt that Alan, who usually looked like a bully, was not scary at all today.

　　"Thank you, Alan."

　　Alan stood up and was about to turn around and walk out of the room, but he turned his head and saw Roxy's clay magic figurine on Rudy's desk.

　　He blinked, pointed at the figurine, and turned to look at Rudy.

　　"By the way, can you give me this? It's a Lokishi made with earth magic. It's very delicate."

　　Rudy's attention was all on the shrine. Hearing this, he looked up and glanced at the place where Alan was pointing.

　　"Sure, I've made a lot of character models of Mr. Roxy, so if you want this, take this one."

　　"Alan is surprisingly good at aesthetics."

　　Alan smiled, picked up the Roxy figurine without hesitation and walked out of the house.

　　Compared with one-sided giving, mutual gift-giving is an easier way to maintain intimacy between each other.

　　[Further gain the favor of Rudeus, and increase the participation in childhood. ]

　　[Current stage: Infancy, cumulative participation score: 52 points. ]

　　[Evaluation: 2 points is also a point. ]

　　Alan twisted his stiff neck and looked at the system panel disappearing in front of him.

　　After many rounds of system feedback, he has found that the simplest and most effective way to improve participation evaluation in childhood is to directly generate positive feedback in interactions with the main characters, which is manifested in the favorability of the main characters.

　　"Well, is the main way to gain points to deepen the 'connection' with the main characters? I can't be completely sure. I need more samples to analyze the underlying logic of gaining points. Before, when I asked the system directly, it either played dead or was vague. The Riddler deserved it. This time, I only got 2 points, which is less than expected, but it's better than nothing."

　　He yawned again and headed down the hallway to the bathroom.

Chapter 23 Oh no, I'm going to be a father?

　　After a while, Senis got up humming a little tune, and Lilia came out of the bedroom with a tired look on her face and began to help Senis make breakfast.

　　"Good morning, Master."

　　"Good morning, Lilia."

　　Rudy passed by the corridor and greeted Lilia in high spirits.

　　"Lilia, why do you look so bad today? Are you sick?"

　　When Lilia heard this, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes behind her glasses.

　　"I didn't sleep well last night. Thank you for your concern, Master."

　　Rudy blinked and passed her by.

　　Just then, Alan came down from the second floor with his upper body naked and a towel wrapped around him, with water droplets still clinging to his hair.

　　"Good morning, both of you."

　　Hearing Alan's voice, Senice poked her head out of the kitchen and said with her hands clasped together in a slightly apologetic manner.

　　"Good morning, Alan. I'm sorry. Paul was a little angry yesterday, so he hit you a little hard! I checked your neck and there was nothing wrong with it, but it seemed that you wouldn't wake up for a while, so I brought you back. However, there was still blood on your body, so we couldn't help you take a bath, so we just laid a mattress on the floor for you. Paul told me last night that he would thank you and apologize to you when he got up today. He should be getting up soon."

　　Alan squinted at her radiant face, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes began to twitch unconsciously.

　　"My energetic lady, if you are really sorry, I suggest you just sleep at night instead of playing ball and disturbing others. And you just said thank you!"

　　"But actually, I should be the one to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that detoxification magic could be used this way. It's really cool."

　　"It doesn't matter. After all, it was because of me that Rudy and the others were poisoned. By the way, was Sylphy taken home by Uncle Ross yesterday? Um, was he angry?"

　　Senis blinked.
