"However, just knowing what to do isn't enough." Lin Ye bounced her up a little, using his arm to make her sit more steadily on his arm.

"How do we get these things to those who need them? How do we ensure that those who need them most get them first? How do we prevent people from snatching things, taking more than their share, or fraudulently claiming them?"

The room was warm and cozy, with wisps of heat from the underfloor heating rising from the cracks in the floorboards. A faint woody scent filled the air, the kind of aroma that furniture develops after being heated for a long time—gentle and comforting.

The sky outside the window remained overcast, with low-hanging clouds, as if someone had spread a thick layer of cotton wool across the sky, completely blocking out the sunlight.

Lin Ye slowed down his speech, carefully considering what words he could use to make her understand.

These are things that shouldn't be said to a five-year-old child. Distributing supplies, prioritizing tasks, maintaining order... these are complex and troublesome matters even for adults.

But he still said that he wanted to let Xiaodouzi have some impression first, like planting a seed. He wasn't in a hurry for it to sprout; as long as it was there, he would wait for the future.

The wind picked up again outside the window, whipping up fine snowflakes that pattered against the glass, making a soft, rustling sound, like some small animal gently scratching at the window with its paws.

The plum trees in the courtyard swayed gently in the wind, and the few remaining clumps of snow on the branches fell silently into the snow pile, muffled and quiet.

"Godfather will teach Xiaodouzi the specific methods gradually during the actual disaster relief operations. But Xiaodouzi is still young, so we'll mainly just watch first. We'll take it slowly and there's no rush."

"Yes, Xiaodouzi will study hard."

Xiao Douzi nodded vigorously, clenching his fists and placing them on Lin Ye's shoulders. He looked like a sapling that had absorbed plenty of water, full of energy.

She zipped up her backpack again, patted it, and looked at Lin Ye to indicate that she was ready and could leave.

The little hands patted the bulging schoolbag, making a muffled "plop" sound, while the snack bags inside the schoolbag rustled softly.

Lin Ye rubbed her head and took out the protective bubble from his system inventory.

Like magic, the moment the palms were opened, two orbs of light appeared out of thin air.

He held two protective bubbles in one hand. They were two transparent orbs of light that shimmered with iridescent colors. They were small enough to fit perfectly in his palm, and they felt warm to the touch, neither too hot nor too cold, like holding a lump of solidified water.

The ball of light trembled slightly in his palm, its surface shimmering with a faint iridescence, like the subtle brilliance of sunlight passing through the edge of a soap bubble.

They lay quietly in his palm, emitting a soft light that was not glaring at all, only casting a thin, bright edge between Lin Ye's fingers.

"This is a protective bubble," Lin Ye explained. "After using it, there will be a protective shield around your body, so that no bad things can touch Xiao Douzi."

The little boy looked at them curiously, tilting his head slightly.

She first leaned closer to look, her eyes widening, her pupils sparkling in the seven-colored light.

Then she stretched out her finger and poked it very lightly and quickly. She pulled her finger back as soon as her fingertip touched the surface of the ball of light, as if afraid of breaking it.

The point where the sphere of light was touched dented slightly, then quickly bounced back, creating a thin ripple.

She looked up at Lin Ye, her eyes filled with surprise and excitement, her mouth slightly open, unable to close for a long time.

"Come on, put your hand out." Lin Ye looked into her eyes and smiled.

The little boy obediently stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread wide, palm facing up, his tiny fingertips glowing pink under the light.

Lin Ye placed one protective bubble in her palm, and held the other one himself.

The tiny ball of light landed on her small palm, feeling almost weightless, like a large dewdrop.

Lin Ye thought for a moment and decided to conceal his appearance first, then check out the situation at Da Yan. He silently confirmed the use of stealth mode in his mind.

The two orbs of light shattered instantly, as if they had been torn apart from the inside by something, silently breaking into countless tiny points of light, which then flowed like water from the palm to the wrist, arm, and shoulder, spreading all the way to the whole body.

The transparent bubble shield silently expanded, completely enveloping the two people from head to toe. It was like a cold wind sweeping over them.

The little boy stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking down at his own body.

She could feel something spreading out against her, as if she were being gently wrapped in a very thin film of water.

After the bubble was completely enclosed, it shimmered slightly, the golden light flashing and disappearing in an instant.

In that instant, it was as if someone had drawn an outline of the two people from head to toe with extremely fine gold thread, the lines smooth and complete.

Then, the golden light faded, and the faint outline of the thin film and the feeling of being enveloped disappeared completely in an instant, leaving no trace.

Xiao Douzi exclaimed "Eh!" and reached out to touch her arm, only to find it was still the fleece fabric of her tracksuit.

I pressed and rubbed it carefully with my fingers. The texture and warmth of the velvet were clearly felt on my fingertips, but nothing else.

She touched her face again, and her fingers touched normal skin, warm and solid, with nothing in between.

"It's gone!" The tone was filled with shock and a hint of lingering disbelief.

"Yes, Godfather made it hide it, so no one can see it."

Lin Ye was also amazed.

It was so completely hidden that there was no feeling, no weight, no sense of constraint, and no change in appearance or sensation.

It does not affect the activity at all, and there is no discomfort when breathing.

If it weren't for the system interface clearly displaying "[Protective Bubble - In Use (Stealth Mode) Remaining Time: 29 days 23 hours 59 minutes]", he would have doubted whether the item was actually activated.

With the protection issue resolved, there's one more thing I almost forgot.

Lin Ye reopened the system store and found the Time Traveler.

The time-space shuttle I have now is the intermediate version I used when I brought back Ye Fan's body last time. The maximum time I can stay in the Great Flame at one time is one hour, which is two hours.

Two hours is enough to fetch something or send a message, but in a disaster relief situation, two hours is simply not enough.

Therefore, an upgrade is necessary. The advanced time-space shuttle costs 80000000 shock points, which is ten times the price of the intermediate one.

But the effect is still worthwhile; the advanced time-space shuttle can stay in the Great Flame for a week with just one use.

Moreover, he has an intermediate-level shuttle, so he can directly upgrade through the upgrade channel and just pay the difference of 72000000 shock points.

Above the advanced level is the top level, but even though Lin Ye doesn't lack shock points right now, he can't help but gasp at the price. Eighty million, multiplied by ten, the top level would cost eight hundred million shock points.

However, the advanced seven-day plan should be sufficient.

With the help of the teleportation spell, it might be completed in less than a week.
