All the things I learned before have been forgotten after working for King Yama for so many years!

"That's superstition! Science is the primary productive force!"

Jingming, with his chest puffed out, looked down at Li Gou Dan, a head taller than him.

"You...you're betraying your master and ancestors!"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Li Gou Dan clenched his fist and shouted loudly.

"I'm not a member of the Sanyi Sect, so how could I be accused of betraying my master and ancestors?"

Jingming glanced at Li Gou Dan with disdain and said dismissively.

"Besides, my dad raised me all these years, I can't let him down, can I?"

Jingming said, using both hands.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to a child."

"How could you possibly know what ideals and aspirations are, or what national righteousness is?"

"You're just a kid who likes to cause trouble."

After saying that, Jingming sat back down in his chair.

The five-year-old boy picked up a chemistry book and started reading it.

"Aren't you just a child too?!"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Li Gou Dan, who had changed his name to Li Muxuan, shouted loudly.

"But I'm not a kid who likes to cause trouble."

Jingming raised his eyelids slightly, as if in silent contempt.

"you"

"I'm never playing with you again!!"

Li Muxuan, who was directly struck by Jingming's words, stomped his foot with tears in his eyes, and then ran outside crying.

"You cry so much, and you still say you're not a little kid."

After glancing at Li Muxuan's departing figure, Jingming shook his head slightly, then continued reading his book.

[Study] 200/32000

[Chemistry] 20/4000

As Jingming read, two lines of data on the panel slowly changed.

"Only you can control that troublemaker from the Li family."

As the sun set, Jingming finished reading the book and practiced a set of boxing techniques he had learned from Shuiyun. Then he had dinner with Zhao's parents.

Five years have passed, and he is still their only child.

"This kid is a total attention-seeker; the more you talk to him, the more excited he gets."

“You feel uncomfortable leaving him out in the cold.”

Jingming shook his head and slowly chewed the food in his bowl.

[Chewing] 210/80000

[Digestion] 321/160000

On the panel, the skills obtained from food slowly pulsated.

And the lowest of the most core [Physical Qualities] in the Jingming Panel is 50.

There is also an additional value of [Qi] 520.

This Qi only appeared after Jingming completed one cycle of embryonic breathing and achieved the "Small Heavenly Circuit".

The more times the Qi circulates through the microcosmic orbit, the higher the value will be.

Although Jingming didn't know how much the other Qi amounted to, he felt that he should have a lot of Qi, after all, he was only five years and two months old.

P.S.: Hey everyone, this is a new author with a new book, please give me some votes and follow along!

Chapter 5 Li Muxuan: Oh, you're swearing!

"That being said, you're the only one in this town who can keep that little guy in check."

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother, who was standing nearby, picked up a piece of food and said with a smile.

"That would have to be something if that kid could beat me."

Jingming grinned, offering no rebuttal.

He really did beat himself up, and strictly speaking, he was three months younger than Li Muxuan.

Li Muxuan was able to act recklessly and cause chaos around him because he was a child, so naturally he could beat Li Muxuan up because he was younger than Li Muxuan.

Not only that, Zhao Dezhu beat up Li Muxuan and nothing happened to him.

He didn't even go out and ask around to see if people believed him, a good student, or Li Muxuan, that troublemaking brat!

After suffering several setbacks in silence, Li Muxuan dared not cause any more trouble in front of Jingming.

There was nothing I could do; even my own father didn't believe in me, yet he still wanted me to study hard with Jingming!

Through these interactions, Li Muxuan and Jingming developed a good relationship.

Of course, this is Li Muxuan's own opinion.

Jingming always looked down on Li Muxuan for taking up the time he spent on leveling up his character.

"Haha, I have to thank Master Shuiyun for this."

"If it weren't for Master Shuiyun teaching you some methods to strengthen your body, you, a tiny little person, wouldn't have grown this big."

Upon hearing Jingming's answer, Zhao's father grinned.

Over the course of five years, they truly treated Jingming as their own son.

"Dad, how's business at home lately? You're not going to be gone for a year or two this time, are you?"

Jingming nodded, then spoke to Zhao's father.

Zhao's father was a businessman; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a three-courtyard house.

"Sigh, this is going to be tough."

"The current situation is turbulent, foreigners are bullying us, and ordinary people can only survive in the cracks."

"Not to mention us merchants who rely on the people for our livelihood."

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's father shook his head, a trace of worry appearing on his face.

"That's because you're kind-hearted, Father."

Upon hearing this, Jingming placed a piece of meat on Zhao's father's plate.

“Father, although you advocate saving the country through industry, without protecting the power of these industries, we will ultimately just be other people’s money bags.”

"How about we ask some of our uncles and aunts for some money, and then we can recruit soldiers and horses?"

"Buy an official position first?"

Suddenly, Jingming blinked and spoke.

"Ha, if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job."

"Your father knows what kind of person I am."

"Doing some business is still possible."

"You want your father to take up a gun and fight to the death with others."

At this point, Zhao's father shook his head.

"I reckon you'll be able to wear mourning clothes for your father soon."

"Alright, let's eat. Why are you saying such unlucky things?"

Hearing this, Zhao's mother, who was silently serving food to the two of them, glared at the father and son and then said with dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that."

"I just want my father and mother to give me a younger brother."

"Look at Li Gou Dan next door, that guy, he's like a monkey, so funny."

Interrupted by Zhao's mother, Jingming picked up her bowl and changed the subject.

"Ahem, well, there's no rush."

"It's all about fate, it's all about fate."

Upon hearing Jingming's sudden change of topic, Zhao's father coughed violently before speaking.

A blush appeared on Zhao's mother's face as she stood to the side.
