Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

PS: Who spread the news that it’s the finale, T_T

(It’s still early)

Thinking of sad things, Candy unconsciously fell asleep.

Not long after, Zero walked into the room cautiously.

As someone under special observation, Candy’s room was also the most intelligent.

Though Candy’s mumbling wasn’t loud, to Zero, who was always observing her, it was like thunder in her ears.

This was a secret between her and Candy, and Zero pouted, thinking she’d never tell the boss.

She helped Candy tuck the blanket back over her, leaving her head exposed, and then sat silently on the sofa by the bed.

Apart from Mo Jingchun, Zero was definitely another "person" who was willing to always protect Candy.

In the moonlight, everything seemed so harmonious.

Candy, who had quietly fallen asleep, looked around in confusion.

A vast expanse of whiteness, nothing was visible.

"Is this light?"

Candy scratched her head in confusion, wanting to walk around. The next second, she was stunned.

"Huh? Where are my feet?"

"Where is this? Wasn’t I doing my homework?"

Suddenly, at the end of the white light, a figure appeared.

The intense light made it hard for Candy to open her eyes.

She could vaguely tell it was a woman.

Peeking through the gaps between her fingers, Candy thought the figure seemed familiar.

Yes! It had her brother’s shadow. But her brother was a boy.

"Baby~"

"Baby?" Candy was very confused.

"Auntie, who are you looking for?"

The figure got closer and Candy felt a warm, comforting sensation all over.

"Silly child, it’s Mom calling you, my baby."

"Mom?" Candy awkwardly called out.

"Good child."

Feeling the warmth of the hands on her head, Candy comfortably closed her eyes, a smile on her face.

"Mom."

"Good child."

"Mom~"

...

Candy kept calling out "Mom" over and over, and the word no longer seemed awkward, slipping out of her mouth like a catchphrase.

Hmm, just like her brother, she would mention him all the time whether he was around or not.

"Mom, can you hug your baby?"

"Silly child..."

...

Zero, who stayed by the bedside all night, silently counted how many times Candy called for her mom.

times.

Just as Zero was about to note the 1000th time, Candy opened her eyes.

Yawning, Candy rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Is it morning, Zero?"

"Not yet."

Candy paused for a moment and said, "But I’ve slept well, and it was so sweet."

"It seemed like I had a beautiful dream, but I can’t remember it at all."

Hearing this, Zero chuckled and said, "As long as it was a nice dream, right?"

"Mm-hmm!" Candy nodded vigorously and casually wiped away the sleep from the corners of her eyes.

Zero saw through her but said nothing, still smiling.

"Why don’t you sleep a bit more?"

Candy frowned, "There’s no way I could fall back asleep."

Suddenly, Candy’s eyes lit up.

"I’ve got it, I’ll go join my brother for a run, I’ve never tried it."

Straightforwardly, Candy got into action right away.

Watching Candy dress skillfully, Zero didn’t stop her.

A love for exercise is always good.

After about twenty minutes, Mo Jingchun, who was preparing to go for a run, was startled to see Candy and Zero sitting in the living room as he came down from the bedroom.

"Hahaha, brother, I saw you jump."

Rolling his eyes, Mo Jingchun curiously asked, "Why are you up so early today? It’s Saturday, no school."

Originally about to say that sleeping early leads to waking early, Candy’s mind lit up and she cheerfully said, "Because I want to join you for a run, brother."

"You?" Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy’s short legs, shaking his head. "You can’t keep up with us."

"No way."

"Brother, you couldn’t keep up with me before."

"Want to race?"

"Bring it on, who’s afraid of who!" Candy stood with her hands on her hips, full of spirit.

Outside, Wild Wolf and others, waiting for the boss to run, looked surprised when they saw Candy behind the boss.

Seeing Candy, everyone’s first thought was that today the sun might rise from the west.

Up early and eager to join the run.

But soon, after one lap, everyone noticed something off.

Mo Jingchun was smiling broadly while Candy was a bit out of breath.

Determined to win, Candy charged ahead, running and stopping, laughingly teasing everyone for being slow.

But by the second lap, Candy wasn’t smiling anymore.

By the third lap, everyone was fired up.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Perched on Zero’s back, Candy cheered loudly, that expression was so cheeky.

Gradually, everyone’s jogging pace was thrown off.

...

"I’m done running."

Mo Jingchun, panting heavily and leaning against the courtyard wall, kept waving his hands.

In stark contrast to the brother-sister bond over on Mo Jingchun’s side, the top leaders and scientists at various independently operating secret bases in Xia Country hadn’t slept all night.

Still that snow-covered secret base, the large conference room was in chaos.

Endless uproar.

Since last night, there hadn’t been a break in the debate.

Even two elderly professors got so worked up they needed urgent medical attention.

All night long, the management kept hearing the same phrases.

"This is impossible."

"This isn’t scientific."

"Why did this happen."

The danger was dispelled in such a strange manner? The more the researchers thought about it, the less they could accept it, even becoming more fearful.

Asteroids don’t fracture without reason, especially into almost equal-sized parts.

Much later, the top few leaders of the base gathered in another small conference room.

"What do you all think?"

"What do I think? Of course, do as we always have, prepare for the worst. If you ask me, don’t change anything from the original plan, it’s best if the danger’s really gone, but what if it’s something even more dangerous?"

Pausing for a moment, the person speaking continued, "Besides, right now everyone in the base needs a lie, the asteroid broke apart due to an external force."

The external force, naturally, is the Alien.

"Everyone should think carefully, a belief has formed among those inside the base, and if that belief collapses, I can’t imagine the consequences."

"Real-life Three-Body?"

"Some are already showing signs of mental distress. You know, the more knowledgeable you are, the harder the blow. Those consequences, none of us can bear. The price is too high."

"At worst, isn’t sticking to the original plan fine? Over these two years, our country’s technological progress has been remarkable, evident to all of us."

After much discussion, they finally aligned.

They proposed to higher-ups to keep the original plan unchanged.

In the afternoon, after finishing her homework, Candy took over the TV with a justified air.

Helplessly, with nothing else to do, Mo Jingchun could only sit beside Candy watching cartoons together.

Actually, Mo Jingchun found cartoons pretty interesting too.

(Hehe, soaking feet in... bliss)
