It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 570 [219] Pink Hair Crisis

It hadn't rained outside, but Linlin huddled in her computer chair like a wet sparrow. The drawstrings on the edge of her nylon hood were tied into a knot under her chin, and her ten fingers were tightly grasping the waterproof layer on the front.

"Brother, please don't make trouble. I still have work to do..."

The soles of the engineer's boots made a sharp sound as they rubbed against the anti-static floor. Her words of defense were stuck in her throat, and her whole body tilted at a dangerous angle along with the chair.

Qin Jiandan's palm was already touching the nylon hood, and the girl's fingertips suddenly spasmed and hooked around her brother's wrist.

“No!” Linlin’s upper body suddenly fell towards the monitoring station. The arch of her back made the water-repellent fabric creak. “Help! My brother is trying to rape me!”

Huh? Even such lewd words came out. What is Linlin hiding? Is he seriously ill?
"Linlin, stop messing around and let me recover!"

Even though he had a special medicine in hand, Qin Jiandan still didn't dare to think about the possibility that Linlin might suffer from phlogiston disease. After all, the highest cure rate was only 80%, and it was unknown whether there were any side effects.

The master once imprisoned the "black fog remnant soul" of the former president on the 18th floor underground, extracted the black fog seeds from him and implanted them into his apprentice and Linlin. The purpose of implanting them into his apprentice was to practice the Steel Armor Breathing Method, and the purpose of implanting them into Linlin was to increase the probability of immunity to the phlogiston disease - the probability of Linlin contracting the phlogiston disease should be very low, right!
It's all my fault! I shouldn't have let Linlin participate in the battle at the edge of the Endless Desert! She must have inhaled too much phlogiston ash there!
Qin Jiandan regretted it too late. When the pink hair finally leaked the first halo from the crack in the hood, Linlin cried out in grief amid the noise of the computer cooling fan:

"It's... it's the thermal silicone dye! My hair isn't all pink!"

After removing the hood, Qin Jiandan checked his sister's hair in confusion, pinching out a lock on the left and a few strands on the right, looking like a judge in a pet beauty contest.

"That's it? Just your hair got pinker?"

Linlin clasped her hands together, her pink and white knuckles reflecting the blue light of the surveillance screen.

"This... isn't this serious? Originally only the ends of my hair were pink, but now the pink is spreading higher and higher, almost covering up the black!"

Qin Jiandan let out a long sigh, "I thought it was something else. Hair color mutation is very common in Huanshi City. Aging and eating something can cause hair color mutation. It may be a minor change caused by contact with the ancestral Yin beast. There is no need to worry about it."

Linlin turned around in her seat, shocked by her brother's ruthlessness.

"If this continues, my black hair will disappear! If the mutation continues, will my black eyes turn into another color?"

Oh, Linlin still has some worries.

It wasn't very obvious when she was young, but in fact, Linlin's facial features have some "Hu Ji" flavor, which became more obvious after she entered puberty. She used to be a little foreigner who tried her best to hide herself with black hair and black eyes, but now she can't even keep her black hair, so it's understandable that she feels frustrated.

Qin Jiandan patted her sister's back and said, "Pink mixed with black is also very nice. I think it looks better than Han Shiyu's black mixed with orange. Don't worry about it. Why don't you take this opportunity to change your hairstyle?"

"No!" Linlin was a little upset. "I will tell everyone that this is caused by the thermal grease dyeing. Brother, you have to keep it a secret for me until I dye it back to black!"

Qin Jiandan's fingers felt the coldness on Linlin's face, so he bent down and put his right cheek close to her from behind the computer, causing Linlin's feet in her engineer boots to arch into a shape of surprise.

"Linlin, natural hair color is best. Don't dye it frequently. It's harmful to your health. Master makes discriminatory remarks like 'white pigs' every day. I understand that you don't want to be considered a Westerner."

"Our parents are Westerners. Although I have a vague impression of them, they should be internationalists."

"You and I know that only one quality is superior to another, and no race is superior to another. But the current situation is such that when the Nyan Society talks about racial discrimination, the Night Dragon Society must fight back."

Linlin looked at her brother, who was face to face with her, through the reflection on the screen; their images dissolved in the data stream.

"It's like if someone starts a verbal fight with you and yells, 'I'm your dad.' The correct way is to yell back, 'I'm your dad.' Instead of insisting on emphasizing that both sides are equal and saying, 'You and I are brothers.' That will only make you look down on the other person."

"Humans are stupid. Only after cursing at each other and even killing each other can they understand each other. Even if we want to build a community with a shared future for mankind, we must first remove the tumor in our bodies. Discrimination against Westerners is just a weapon, something like chemotherapy, and one day it will be swept into the dustbin of history. But not now."

Qin Jiandan talked a lot of truths to help Linlin untie the knot in her heart. After thinking for a long time, Linlin only asked one question: "Then...do you like this color now?"

"I like you no matter what color you turn into." Qin Jiandan straightened up.

"Then...it's settled then." Linlin turned around in her computer chair and extended her right pinky finger to her brother. "Make a pinky promise with me that you won't laugh at my hair that's getting pinker and pinker! Also, help me explain to everyone that I don't want anyone to ask me what's wrong with my hair!"

Qin Jiandan also reached out and made a solemn promise with Linlin. Taking on the responsibility of a brother, Qin Jiandan informed the people around him about Linlin's hair color change and did not want to cause discussion. No one, including the master, thought it was a big deal. Linlin was really worried for nothing.

※※※

Linlin devoted herself to the research and development of the equipment for several consecutive days, and together with Dr. Li, she successfully miniaturized the "Night Generator" into a wearable wristband.

"Look, this is made from the blood of the Sand Python. Just like the Sand Python, it can release cognitive shielding, making people within a 15-meter radius instantly plunge into darkness."

Linlin still had her hair in a bun, and the last bit of black in her hair was about to be swallowed up by the pink. She tried her best not to think about it and showed off the magnetic wristband on her left hand to her brother.

"How is it? Very design-conscious, isn't it?" Linlin's face was filled with the pride of an engineer. "It weighs only 187 grams, only slightly larger than a watch. The wearing structure fits the wrist bone perfectly. The nano-coating on the surface is sweat-proof and scratch-resistant, and it won't get in the way when you type on the keyboard."

Qin Jiandan noticed that the material of the 'Night Brace' was a translucent bio-alloy shell, and the complex blood vessels inside were flowing with the fluorescent blood of the sand python.

"There are three of these wristbands made. I wear one and gave one to Sister Vale. The last one should be for my sister-in-law, right? My sister-in-law's super vision also includes night vision. The Nightfall Generator should be very useful to her."

"That's right." Qin Jiandan agreed. "Today, the Night Dragon Club and the Police Department will have a social event. Mu Yue will lead the team here, and I will just give her the Night Bracelet - Linlin, aren't you going to attend the social event?"

"Why should I participate?" Linlin showed some caution. "I don't have anyone I want to meet...Brother, go by yourself!"

The purpose of this gathering between the two sides was mainly to allow the Police Department and the Night Dragon Society to become familiar with each other, so as to avoid a flood that would disrupt the Dragon King Temple when they met outside.

That being said, the people who could come from the Police Department were basically Mu Yue's subordinates, and a few students who were about to graduate from the special training center. Only one person was unexpected.

In the "Quantum Cocktail Battle Bar" on the first floor of the Eco-Tower, purple neon tubes are interwoven into a DNA spiral on the ceiling, and each spot of light looks like a suspended drop of wine. The S-shaped bar counter, which is as long as a python, is made of a whole piece of obsidian holographic screen. With a touch of your finger, the colorful formula code will float up.

This shop uses a lot of inner city technology and was sponsored by the Chief of Police, making it perfect for networking with the Police Department.

The pillars on both sides of the bar are inlaid with honeycomb-shaped cocktail mixing chambers. Whenever a customer selects a recipe, a robotic arm extracts the so-called "liquid moonlight", "dark matter concentrate" and "pulse bubbles" from the glass tube. The tinkling sound of the mechanical cocktail mixing sounds like miniature electronic music.

Mu Yue's fingertips slid across the operating panel shrouded in icy mist, and she unromantly prepared a cup of fluorescent orange special drink containing nano hangover sobering agent, which the machine automatically named "Dawn of Justice".

"Beep - non-alcoholic beverages, not included in the rating. Please enjoy your meal."

Qin Jiandan sat down next to his wife who was drinking soda in silence and asked, "Why is Han Yuxiang, the executive police chief of District 6, here? He can't be considered your subordinate anyway."

Mu Yue glanced in the direction of Han Yuxiang. The fat man with a beard and a grey uniform was flirting with Zhu Shengzhi. Next to them, several young police officers and members of the Night Dragon Society were already mingling with each other. A cocktail machine was randomly pressed to create a rainbow vortex, and the liquid in the glass tube kept rolling.

The female police officer with long black hair lowered her voice slightly, even though the bar was already very noisy.

"When Han Yuxiang's father, Han Sen, was executed by the funny ghost, he asked Han Yuxiang to go to the chief of police to save his life. Han Yuxiang knelt down in front of the chief of police and cried bitterly, promising to obey the chief of police in the future. The chief of police asked me to bring him to this social event, since Zhu Shengzhi and Han Yuxiang are old acquaintances in business anyway."

"I see. He might want to cut ties with the opposition. After all, the leaders of the opposition, Han Sen and Han Yuan, were killed by the funny ghost. There is no future for them to continue."

"Beep - the 'Mirror Equation' you prepared received a high score of 99 points. I gave you one point less because I was afraid you would become too proud! Please enjoy your delicious wine."

Feng Jian sat across the S-shaped bar from Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue, with Xiao Xia sitting next to her. Feng Jian easily mixed a silver cocktail on the operating panel that would condense frost on the wall of the cup.

"Well, the computing power provided by the overall wetware is limited after all. It didn't even analyze that I was pregnant with the young master's child. Can't I drink?" Feng Jian glanced at Xiao Xia next to him, "You drink it for me."

"Is this really drinkable?" Xiao Xia stared at the changing liquid in the glass. "Although the score is high, Fengjian, you control the computing power backend, so it would be too easy for you to cheat. Will it suddenly turn into bitter melon after I drink it?"

"puff--"

"You laughed, didn't you? It really tastes like bitter melon! This is a social event between the Night Dragon Society and the Police Department. Do you want me to spit it out in public? As the staff officer of the Fallen Cherry Group, it is your job to maintain the dignity of the leader of the Fallen Cherry Group!"
