Just now, he used the Tai Su noodle board to briefly test the original owner's parents and sister's skills.

Unfortunately, nothing unusual was found.

However, this is not necessarily a safe approach, and further observation is still needed. It would be best to investigate some of the people the original owner had previously come into contact with.

Hu Long thought to himself.

Knock knock...

Just then, a gentle knock sounded in the quiet porch.

"Xiao Long, are you asleep?"

He Yanling's voice came from outside the door.

Hu Long's expression shifted slightly, and he got up and opened the door.

The other person was standing outside the door holding a bone china stew pot, and a sweet aroma wafted into the room with the rising steam.

She gently placed the stew pot on the side table and lifted the porcelain lid.

A faint fragrance immediately filled the air.

The soup is clear and bright, and you can vaguely see the plump ingredients soaking in it.

"You don't look too well. This is a bowl of golden soup chicken with fish maw, simmered with ginseng grown in the forest for over 20 years. It's mild and nourishing, perfect for you."

Her voice was gentle, and her eyes were filled with concern.

Faced with that gaze, Hu Long remained silent for a moment.

"Thanks…"

"We're all family, Xiao Long, why are you being so polite with your mother?"

Although He Yanling said this, she unconsciously wiped her slightly reddened eyes.

after that.

The two chatted briefly for a while longer.

He finally told me to finish my drink before leaving.

Hu Long looked at the closed door and thought for a moment.

He picked up the chicken soup from one side and drank it all in one gulp.

It's no wonder that this is made from old ginseng, which is brewed with various precious medicinal herbs that replenish qi and blood.

It entered the stomach not long after.

Then, thanks to the body's innate ability to metabolize efficiently, it began to digest and absorb rapidly.

Instantly, a warm feeling spread throughout my body.

It felt like soaking in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.

"The effect is surprisingly good."

Hu Long's eyes flickered slightly.

This was completely different from the feeling he had when he ate ordinary food before.

The changes it brings to the body are completely immediate.

Perhaps he could take more tonics.

For other people, if their bodies are too weak, excessive supplementation may be too much and cause harm to their health.

But he doesn't need to worry about that at all.

He looked at the bottom of the bowl; the soup was very nourishing, but it was still just soup.

Generally, people only drink the flavor and don't eat the residue.

However, Hu Long didn't care about such formalities. He directly poured the remaining fish maw, ginseng root, hen, red dates, and goji berries into his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them.

These are all good things to him.

Sure enough, the heat in my stomach intensified.

Upon realizing this, he stood up and began doing some push-ups in the room to do some simple exercises.

After all, this body is too weak.

……

When He Yanling returned to her room, she immediately saw Hu Chengwen sitting at his desk, holding his youngest son and playing with him.

A surge of anger welled up inside her.

"Your eldest son finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and you, as his father, don't even bother to check on him! Who are you giving that sour look to?!"

"I'm not... Ouch, ouch, it hurts!"

Before Hu Chengwen could finish speaking, He Yanling grabbed his ear and twisted it, leaving him no choice but to beg for mercy.

"Xiao Long has just recovered and needs time to adjust. If we interfere too much, it will actually be bad for him..."

He quickly explained.

Despite being a multi-millionaire CEO, Hu Chengwen is known as a "henpecked husband" at home.

Of course, saying it's fear wouldn't be accurate either.

The two had always had a good relationship. In public, He Yanling always gave him face, but behind closed doors, she was ultimately the one in charge.

"I think you've forgotten about the older one now that you have the younger one."

He Yanling released her grip, her tone still carrying a hint of anger.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Neither Xiao Zhao nor Xiao Long has the aptitude, so you're now pinning all your hopes on Xiao Yu, hoping to use him to return to the main family.

He Yanling stared straight at him.

"But let me tell you, no matter what happens to Xiaolong in the future, he will always be my child. Don't even think about showing favoritism."

"Hey, what do you, a woman, know?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Hu Chengwen's face, as if he had been caught out.

After saying that, he seemed to realize that his words had been a bit too harsh.

After a pause, he quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, haven't you noticed... that Xiao Long's personality seems a little different than before?"

Upon hearing this, He Yanling fell silent.

How could she not notice?

A mother's heart is always more meticulous than anyone else's.

Based on past experience, the other party would be somewhat resentful upon learning of Hu Yu's existence, and this resentment would almost always show on their face.

It wouldn't be like this at all; they would pretend nothing happened and deliberately change the subject to avoid embarrassing them.

But that's precisely why she felt even more heartache.

"The new drug from the pharmaceutical company is in a critical stage of research and development. Once this busy period is over, our family will go out for a good time to relax."

Hu Chengwen's tone softened, adopting a consultative tone.

He held He Yanling in his arms.

"We'll bring Xiaolong along too, so he can completely relax."

"Okay, it's a deal then, you can't go back on your word."

He Yanling gently leaned into Hu Chengwen's arms.

She is a smart woman who knows when to let go of her domineering nature, show dependence, and make her husband feel vain.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two has remained as tender as ever.

Leaning against her husband's chest, He Yanling did not see the strange look that flashed in Hu Chengwen's eyes.

"It seems our previous assessment of Xiao Long's condition was wrong. He's probably just suffering from a common mental illness. After all, if someone were truly infected with that kind of thing, it would be impossible for them to recover and be discharged from the hospital..."

……

After exercise.

Hu Long slept very soundly.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he vaguely heard a rooster crowing, which startled him awake.

Outside the window, the night was still dark, and dawn had not yet broken.

Hu Long glanced at the time on his phone.

3:47 am.

Outside the window, it was pitch black; the rain had stopped sometime earlier.

I got up and looked toward the source of the rooster's crowing.

They must be chickens raised in other garden villas.

Hu Long couldn't understand what they were thinking, raising chickens in a villa of this size.

However, he couldn't understand the thought process of the wealthy.

He frowned.

He didn't interfere further, but simply closed the half-open window.

The soundproofing here is excellent.

The moment the window closed, the whole world became quiet.

However, after being disturbed, Hu Long was no longer sleepy.

Instead, he took out his phone and started browsing information about the world.

At the same time, he also had an idea in his mind: since he could download skills and talents from people.

So, is it possible to download from those animals, if that idea is feasible?

The benefits that would bring are absolutely unimaginable.

After all, some animals, though small and weak, possess talents that humans cannot match.

……

time flies.

In the past few days, Hu Chengwen has only gone to the company occasionally to handle some necessary matters, and has mostly stayed at home.

He Yanling stayed by Hu Long's side every step of the way, wearing an apron and busying herself in the kitchen every day, without letting the servants help her.

She goes to great lengths to cook soups, stews, steaming, boiling, frying, and stir-frying, as if she wants to make up for all the care she has received over the years.

This made Hu Zhao, the older sister, a little jealous, saying that she had never received this treatment.

However, Hu Long was not used to this kind of family affection.

After waiting for a few days.

She could only tell him to ignore him and that she wanted to go out for a walk by herself, and that was the end of it.

During this time, Hu Long also conducted his own experiments, touching all kinds of animals, including those that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water.

Unfortunately, the panel hasn't responded so far.

It seems his panel can only download skills from humans.
