Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

"how old are you?"

“20…” Xia Dou said without turning her head, holding the game console.

Qin Song touched his chin. At the age of 20, she had the figure of a little girl, and her height was probably not even 1.5 meters.

"How about it? I'll trade you these game consoles for the method to control the Devouring Beast."

"Really?" Xia Dou turned her head, her eyes sparkling.

As a die-hard gamer, she values ​​games more than eating.

"Of course, but you can only come here to play, and you can't tell anyone else."

Xia Dou nodded vigorously.

Qin Song said, "Then let's begin!"

Xia Dou tilted her head. "But how should I teach you?"

Qin Song snapped his fingers, and Sang Biao scurried into the cave.

"Did you bring any equipment? Use it to conduct the experiment."

“I brought it!” Xia Dou immediately took out several devices from her small satchel, picked up a cone-shaped instrument, and walked towards the snake dog.

But it quickly retreated.

"Won't it bite me, will it?"

Qin Song took the instrument and flicked it lightly. The instrument instantly pierced the snake-dog's skin and burst out with a burst of electric current.

Xia Dou immediately put on the VR glasses and kept adjusting the frequency with the game controller in hand.

Soon, a wisp of consciousness appeared near the snake-dog spirit seed.

Qin Song was also deeply engrossed in the moment.

"I am guiding the Devouring Beast to summon by adjusting the source energy frequency..." a sweet, childlike voice said.

As Xia Dou recounted the story, Qin Song suddenly understood.

His dominance is to force the Devouring Beasts to obey, but low-level Devouring Beasts cannot understand complex commands, so he can only control them to send simulated signals.

Qin Song immediately fired an extremely weak spirit energy bullet into the snake dog's body, and then used his mental power to guide the source energy to circulate.

Soon, blue light spots appeared on the snake-dog's tentacles, and faint frequencies emanated outwards.

[Ding! Super Professional Specialization Notification: Your understanding of energy manipulation has deepened, and your level has increased to LV7. Pineal gland potential development successful; you have learned Mind Control (SS Rank).]

[Mind Control: LV1, allows you to silently control lower-level species.]

Qin Song's heart stirred. The target of mind control is a low-intelligence species, while mind control is a low-level species.

How do we define "lower species"? Does it refer to all species whose strength or mental power is inferior to our own, or to species other than humans?

Qin Song suddenly looked at Xia Dou and asked, "Why don't we have her give it a try?"

Xia Douyou was unaware that a big gray wolf had already set its sights on her, and continued talking incessantly.

"The summoning frequency of the Devouring Beast is very complex. At present, I can only make it summon the Genesis type, but it has no effect on the Evolve type."

"Furthermore, the Mana ecosystem is constantly altering the biomagnetic field of the Devouring Beasts, and I have to simulate it using equipment before each control operation..."

Qin Song used his mental power to envelop Xia Dou's consciousness.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Xia Dou exclaimed, her voice trembling, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

Qin Song chuckled, "You teach me yourself, I want to see how you summon it."

Xia Dou bit her lip and began to simulate with Qin Song's mental power.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Qin Song's heart, and goosebumps rose on his skin, as if his soul had left his body.

It seems to have transcended that base, physical pleasure and entered a higher level of sublimation.

Qin Song muttered to himself, no wonder this girl was attracted to him, could it be that she's become obsessed with this feeling?

Xia Dou was equally trembling, her whole body shaking slightly.

The entire process lasted less than a minute before Xia Dou's consciousness was forcibly ejected.

She plopped down on the ground, feeling weak all over.

Qin Song let out a long breath, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease in his body.

He stepped forward, picked Xia Dou up, sat her on a chair, placed her on his lap, and lifted her chin. "Little Xia Dou, you're so naughty."

Xia Dou blushed and said, "I didn't..."

"Why did you just now...?"

"Stop talking." Xia Dou suddenly covered her burning cheeks and shook her legs wildly.

"Come on, let's play a game." Qin Song picked up the game controller.

"Could you put me down first?"

Qin Song seemed not to hear him and immediately opened the game.

Xia Dou was quickly drawn into the game, snuggling into Qin Song's arms, "Hurry up and attack it! Watch out! The BOSS is about to ambush us..."

Chapter 94: I helped you complete the game, but you didn't get any reward?

Unbeknownst to the two, Dragonbone Village outside was already in an uproar.

"My God! How come there are so many Devouring Beasts? Didn't the patrol team not detect anything unusual?"

"Could there be a problem with the signal tower?"

"Sound the alarm immediately and prepare for battle!"

"No! They didn't break in; they just lingered outside the shielded area."

Ulan Aodeng frowned as he looked at the hundreds of Devouring Beasts at the foot of the mountain. "Could something in the village be attracting them?"

Qiu Shi asked, "Could it be Mark?"

"No matter what, let's distribute the weapons to everyone first, so that we won't be caught off guard when they break in."

"Did you contact the boss? What did she say?"

"The boss told us to handle it ourselves. Her experiment is at a critical stage, and she can't come to help us for the time being..."

"I cleared the level!" Xia Dou cheered, raising her hand.

Qin Song chuckled and said, "You won't get any reward if I help you clear the level?"

Xia Dou looked up at the face so close to hers and said shyly, "W-what reward do you want? Hmm..."

Xia Dou's small hands rested weakly on Qin Song's chest, "We've progressed too fast..."

Qin Song naturally didn't let go. When a woman says this, it means that she has already fallen for him, but she doesn't feel secure.

He countered with a direct question, "How long do you think it takes to be with someone?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm just slow to warm up."

As is typical of women's rhetoric, Qin Song, that old scumbag, would naturally not fall into the trap of self-justification or rush to confess his feelings.

"What determines whether you stay together is the person, not the time. Some people you meet countless times but are just passersby, while others you know at first glance that you can't miss them."

Xia Dou's heart was pounding... That's so well said.

Unlike the old men in the village, who would promise to treat her well and how much they loved her every time they met.

Her delicate nose twitched; Qin Song had a scent that captivated her.

It wasn't just any ordinary smell, but an indescribable feeling, as if I could sense the other person's spiritual power.

"Is this what the book calls soul resonance?" Xia Dou murmured to herself.

She suddenly remembered what Bai Yuekui had said in his women's class: women should be reserved, because things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.

"But some people's liking is just talk."

"Yes! That's why I don't say anything, I just keep it in my heart." Qin Song took Xia Dou's small hand and placed it on his heart. "Can you feel it? It's beating for you."

Xia Dou wanted to say something more, but Qin Song knew he couldn't continue arguing with the woman, so he lowered his head and started taking the initiative.

This time, Xia Dou's resistance was noticeably weaker.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Dou woke up groggily and saw Qin Song lying beside her, looking at her. She couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

Good heavens! How did I end up revealing this without even realizing it?

"I...I don't know anything about you. You've bullied me, sob sob sob..." Xia Dou suddenly started sobbing.

Qin Song remained silent, simply watching with a smile.

Xia Dou peeked at Qin Song through her fingers, then lowered her hand and pouted, "Why don't you try to coax him? The boss was right, once you get something, you don't cherish it."

Qin Song thought to himself, "What the hell am I trying to coax? I'm just a straight man."

His eyes suddenly turned black, and an invisible energy enveloped Xia Dou.

Awakened Skill: Mind Control.

The next second, Xia Dou's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes were lifeless, and she seemed to have lost her soul.

At the same time, a huge and extremely complex ball of light appeared before Qin Song's eyes.

Emotions, memories, knowledge, thoughts—countless complex information emanated from the ball of light.

Qin Song vaguely sensed that he could manipulate that information in a simple way, such as reading superficial information or extinguishing it directly.

This thing should be Xia Dou's consciousness.

He did not attempt to contact the ball of light. Even though he had studied it relatively little, he knew that one should not arbitrarily interfere with other people's consciousness.

Otherwise, at best, it could cause the other person to become a vegetable, and at worst, it could lead to memory confusion for the individual.

Qin Song began to descend along the original channel of consciousness, entering various areas of Xia Dou's body.

Xia Dou started gesturing wildly and even began to speak, though it sounded very mechanical.

Qin Song slowly withdrew his mind control; it seemed that he needed to upgrade his mind control to achieve complete control.

Xia Dou rolled her eyes and fainted.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Xia Dou finally woke up, asking, "What happened to me?"

Qin Song asked, "Do you remember what happened before you fell unconscious?"

Xia Dou suddenly gasped and clutched her head, "Ouch!"

Qin Song thought to himself that this mind control was a bit too domineering.

Fortunately, I only controlled her body. If I had touched her consciousness, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just a headache.

Therefore, it seems that mind control can indeed directly control humans, and the power of the controlled target should be lower than that of the mind itself.

Qin Song cast a Holy Healing Spell, but Xia Dou's injuries did not improve.

After a moment's hesitation, he exchanged for a Source Crystal.

"Eat it."

Ignoring her headache, Xia Dou took the Source Crystal with both hands, and subconsciously opened her mouth wide to swallow it.

A warm current quickly spread to her limbs and bones, nourishing her body, and blue energy rapidly flowed across her skin.

In just a few seconds, the headache and leg pain were gone.

Xia Dou raised her little hand, and the snake dog guarding outside the cave suddenly stood up and started dancing around on the spot.

"Wow! My potential has been upgraded!" She was immediately filled with surprise.

You can actually control the Devouring Beast without VR glasses or a game controller.

Moreover, she could feel that her mental power had been greatly enhanced, and she could control not only the supergene type, but also some weak metamorphic types.

"A charlatan! What was that just now?"

Qin Song flicked her on the forehead. "What did you call me?"

"Ouch..." Xia Dou covered her head and pouted, "Then what should I call you?"
