I was banned by the Revitalization event.

He subconsciously fell into deep thought, confusion, and intense self-doubt.

what happened.

Why did it suddenly unfold like this?

who I am.

where am I.

Am I still dreaming and haven't woken up yet?

"Qin Luo, Qin Luo?"

Qiu Shihua's voice came from the other end of the computer, pulling him back to reality.

The elegant and understated woman looked at him through the screen with a slightly puzzled expression. He had been listening very attentively, but suddenly he spaced out, as if his soul had left his body.

Qin Luo coughed lightly.

They immediately adopted a serious and proper attitude.

Let's get back to the main topic.

“It’s alright, Grandma, please continue. I was just thinking about your plan.”

"Don't call me grandma!"

Qiu Shihua pursed her lips and repeated coldly with an unfriendly expression.

"Okay, Grandma."

Qin Luo managed to get away with it and move on from this chapter, while simultaneously gripping the ballpoint pen tightly in his right hand to distract himself.

Hold on.

Although she didn't know why, Qiu Ling didn't speak to her master...

But if he or she notices anything unusual about him or her in front of Qiu Shi's screen, all their previous efforts will collapse.

Look at the missile design drawings on the table, marked with various parameters.

It can be launched.

But it absolutely must not explode.

Because of this little incident, the pace of the discussion shifted slightly, and the leadership changed.

They had been chatting back and forth before.

And in this short while...

Most of the time, Qiu Shihua did the talking, while Qin Luo listened attentively.

On the other end of the video call.

Qiu Shihua held the printed materials, her face beautiful and elegant, like a celestial being descended to earth.

The laptop has a wide shooting range.

Most of her upper body was captured in the shot. The woman was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, the soft fabric clinging tightly to her body, outlining the curves of her breasts. Her long hair was also styled in a bun, and the skin at the roots of her hair was as white as jade.

Master and apprentice went into battle.

Who could withstand that?

Two full hours.

Qiu Shihua is talking about hierarchical dynamics, thermal radiation, and chain reactions.

Qin Luo, on the other hand, couldn't concentrate at all; all he could think about was the vacuum cleaner, the water pump, and the high-pressure water gun for the pool toys.

Fortunately, it was almost noon.

Ye Qingying ran over and pestered Qiu Shihua to let her play on the computer, sweetly and coquettishly.

Qiu Shihua couldn't refuse her, so she gave up her seat.

Help!

Looking at the adorable young mother on the other side of the camera, Qin Luo was overwhelmed with emotion. Never before had he felt that his young mother was so understanding.

I am sorry.

I misunderstood you.

I'll buy you a few more skins next time.

"I'm hanging up now. Based on the conclusions we just reached, your design's explosive effectiveness will increase by 30%. Don't use this thing for evil purposes... Otherwise, no matter how close you are to Ye Qingying, I will kill you to silence you." Qiu Shihua tidied up the drawings on the table, looking at the camera with a warning gaze.

"Definitely." Qin Luo nodded quickly.

"Hurry up and leave, Living Buddha. He feels he can't keep up the act any longer."

After tidying up the table.

Just as she was about to turn off the camera, Qiu Shihua hesitated slightly, then spoke indifferently with a cold face.

"Take care of yourself. I saw you shiver twice just now and you were shaking... It's the change of seasons from summer to autumn, so wear more clothes. You're a grown man, don't need others to remind you."

"Thank you for your concern, Grandma."

Qin Luo's lips twitched, and he forced a smile.

Qiu Shihua glared at him.

The video then cut off, returning to the normal chat interface.

"call……"

Qin Luo closed his laptop and breathed a sigh of relief.

The tension that had been building up finally eased, like a towering dam releasing its floodwaters.

Leaning back in the chair.

Qin Luo remained frozen for two minutes before recovering.

so tired...

Watching videos all morning is more tiring than carrying bricks all day.

wrong.

It's even more tiring than cultivating at the Hehuan Sect.

After savoring the moment for a while, Qin Luo tidied up the table and then went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. He was so nervous that the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat because he was afraid that Qiu Shihua would notice something was amiss.

Rinse thoroughly.

Qin Luo changed into new clothes and returned to his room.

While buttoning up.

She looked at Qiu Ling, who was already standing next to the desk with her hands behind her back, looking like she had finished her homework and was waiting for her parents to check it.

The culprit blinked its big eyes and blushed slightly, as if it were asking for credit.

Qin Luo opened his mouth.

In the end, I still couldn't bring myself to blame her.

The action was correct, and the method was correct. If he hadn't stumbled upon him and Qiu Shihua having a video call, he probably could have spent the whole day working at his desk.

"Who taught you that?"

Qin Luo rubbed his temples, feeling that there must be a mastermind behind this.

Han Xue...

It is more likely that it is Qin Shi.

It wasn't until recently that he discovered that his younger sister was far from being as innocent and adorable as he had imagined; she was just as cunning as he was, a trait passed down through the Qin family.

My sister has gone astray.

"Qin Shi taught me that. She said a secretary must be dedicated to their duties..."

Qiu Ling said cautiously, her hands behind her back.

The little girl raised her head slightly.

She observed Qin Luo's expression to make sure she hadn't upset him.

After all, it was her first time being a secretary, and she was clumsy. If she didn't do something right, she might get scolded.

Qin Luo raised his hand.

In the end, he simply patted her head and gently rubbed it.

"...Good, keep it up."

"Ah."

Qiu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest.

Her efforts have been recognized. From today onward, she is a valuable person in this family, no longer just an unwanted child who only knows how to eat.

I'm a little happy.

The little girl ran out of the bedroom to tell Qin Shi the good news.

Qin Luo stood there for a while.

She quietly walked to the desk, straightened the blanket that was laid underneath, and arranged it neatly.

We need to take good care of it, as we'll probably be using it frequently in the future.

……

Qin Luo and Qiu Shihua chatted about mechanics all morning, occupying the computer.

It wasn't until after 2 a.m.

Ye Qingying, who hadn't touched a computer in a long time, finally found an opportunity and pulled Qin Luo into voice chat. They happily started playing duo queue to rank up.

"Son, the Joker just got buffed yesterday. You play Clockwerk and wait for me to come over, then give me the ball, and we'll go around killing people."

Ye Qingying said happily, eager to try.
