He checked the time; it was almost 6 PM.
He took Duoduo to a seafood restaurant.
It was the little girl's first time at a seafood restaurant, and she saw all sorts of seafood.
She looked everywhere, her eyes filled with wonder.
Seeing a large Dragon Lobster, she turned her head and asked Lin Chen, "Daddy, can this really be eaten?"
Lin Chen smiled and patted Duoduo's head, "Of course it can be eaten, and it's delicious."
Meanwhile, while Lin Chen was eating, Liu Xiaoxiao called her best friend, Zhao Yaqi.
"Yaqi, guess who I just ran into?"
"Who?"
"Lin Chen! I just saw Lin Chen and your daughter at the Anima specialty store."
"Lin Chen? Daughter?"
She had even forgotten she had a daughter.
She then asked, "Is Lin Chen selling clothes there?"
"No, I saw Lin Chen taking your daughter to buy clothes at the store. He spent over 100,000 yuan! I don't know where he got so much money. Did he steal it?"
Zhao Yaqi heard the voice on the other end but didn't reply.
She was also wondering where Lin Chen got the money to buy designer clothes.
Although her current husband was a manager, he only earned about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan a year.
There was no way she could spend tens of thousands on clothes at once.
She thought to herself that if Lin Chen had truly become rich, returning to his side wouldn't be impossible.
Lin Chen, of course, had no idea about his ex-wife's absurd fantasies. Abandoning your husband and child when he's down, and then wanting to come back and enjoy the good life when he's successful? There's no such good thing.
He saw that Duoduo had eaten enough.
He paid the bill at the front desk and, holding Duoduo's hand, saw a claw machine area in the mall next to them.
He exchanged 50 yuan for tokens, then held the little girl and taught her how to play the claw machine.
After more than twenty tries, she didn't catch a single one, and Duoduo's face was filled with unhappiness.
The little girl had no choice but to ask for help, "Daddy, I can't catch it. You help me catch it."
"Alright, watch Daddy."
It took Lin Chen a great deal of effort to finally catch a long-eared rabbit plush toy.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, almost failing in front of his good daughter.
He squatted down and handed the rabbit to Duoduo. The little girl hugged the rabbit, "Daddy is amazing."
She gave Lin Chen a big kiss on the cheek.
Lin Chen's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum...
It was already nine o'clock when they got home.
Duoduo was going to kindergarten tomorrow, so after she finished washing up, he coaxed her to sleep.
Lin Chen returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking about the points the System had given him after successfully completing the transaction with Ye Qian.
He asked in his mind, "System, open the panel."
"【Host】: Lin Chen"
"【Age】: 26"
"【Realm】: Ordinary Person"
"【Turntable Draw】: 1"
"【System Space】: 1 million cubic kilometers."
"【Friend List】: 1"
The System interface was still so simple and clear.
"System, what can I get from the draw?"
"【Host, the points draw is completely random, anything is possible.】"
Lin Chen was speechless; it was as if it said nothing at all.
Lin Chen originally wanted to accumulate some points for a ten-draw, but then he thought against it.
Currently, he had few transaction partners, so accumulating points would take a long time.
He decided to take a chance and hoped for a miracle with a single draw.
"Watch me get a miracle with a single draw..."
"System, draw."
A colorful turntable suddenly appeared before Lin Chen's eyes.
The turntable spun faster and faster...
"【Ding】"
"【Congratulations to the Host, you have drawn one Immortal Beast cub, the Xuantian Black Hound.】"
"【A master-servant contract has been automatically signed.】"
"【It has been stored in the System Space. Once a living creature is taken out, it cannot be put back into the System Space.】"
"Immortal Beast cub?"
"Xuantian Black Hound?"
Lin Chen released the Immortal Beast cub from the System Space.
Suddenly, a pitch-black creature appeared on the bed, without a single stray hair. He picked it up and looked.
The pitch-black creature also looked at him with round, bright eyes.
"System, isn't this just a little black dog?"
"【Host, due to the depletion of Spiritual Qi on Blue Star, the Xuantian Black Hound has reverted to its most primitive form.】"
Lin Chen didn't care whether it was a black hound or not anymore.
Goodness, if Blue Star had no Spiritual Qi, didn't that mean he couldn't cultivate immortality?
He looked down at the Xuantian Black Hound, and the Xuantian Black Hound also tilted its head, looking at him. It was surprisingly cute.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
The Xuantian Black Hound nodded.
An Immortal Beast turned into a local dog; it seemed its intelligence wasn't bad if it understood human speech.
Never mind, a local dog is fine. Duoduo should like it as a pet.
He sniffed the little black dog; it smelled faintly fragrant. So he didn't make it get off the bed and let it sleep by the edge of the bed.
Lin Chen scrolled through Doule for a while and then fell asleep.
In the morning, Lin Chen felt something warm and damp on his face. He opened his eyes and saw.
Wow, he was startled; a dog's head was right in front of his eyes.
Then he remembered it was the Xuantian Black Hound he had won from the draw last night.
He held the dog in front of his eyes, "From now on, your name will be Xiao Hei."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes, okay?"
The dog stared blankly at him and wagged its tail.
"Okay, it's decided."
He then got up, put Xiao Hei on the ground, and went to wash up.
After washing up, he checked the time; it was half past seven, and the little girl hadn't woken up yet.
Lin Chen went into the kitchen and started making breakfast: some milk oatmeal porridge and boiled eggs.
After he finished cooking, Duoduo still wasn't awake. He pinched the little girl's nose. Duoduo squirmed, still not wanting to get up.
"Sweetheart, wake up quickly. You're going to kindergarten today."
"Daddy, hug," Duoduo stretched out her small hands.
He picked the little girl out of bed and said while dressing her, "Daddy will give you a present later."
"What present?" Duoduo, who was still sleepy, instantly woke up.
"First, put on your clothes."
After putting on her new clothes, Duoduo looked even cuter. Lin Chen also helped her tie two bun hairstyles.
They came to the living room and saw Xiao Hei lying there. Duoduo walked over and squatted in front of Xiao Hei.
"Wow!!!"
"Daddy, where did this little dog come from?"
"Its name is Xiao Hei. How do you like it?"
"I like it!"
Xiao Hei seemed to know this was the boss of the house.
It sensibly licked Duoduo's small hand, and the little girl giggled.
"That's good that you like it, but first, brush your teeth and wash your face. It's your first day of kindergarten today, so we can't be late."
"Alright..." Duoduo reluctantly went to wash up.
After breakfast, the little girl played with Xiao Hei for a while, then Lin Chen took Duoduo out.
Before leaving, Duoduo hugged Xiao Hei and said, "Wait for me to come home obediently, okay?"
At the kindergarten entrance, he saw many parents driving luxury cars to drop off their children. The Teacher Liu was greeting the children at the school gate.
Duoduo's teacher was a rather pretty girl, just a bit short, probably around 1.6 meters tall.
The Teacher Liu's surname was Liu, and her given name was Xinyi. After Lin Chen and Teacher Liu added each other on WeChat.
He handed Duoduo over to Teacher Liu and stayed at the school for a while.
Seeing that Duoduo quickly blended in with the other children, Lin Chen's worried heart finally relaxed slightly.
He drove to the market where he had previously purchased supplies.
After purchasing the grains, fruits, and meat that he had agreed upon with Ye Qian, he then bought all the daily necessities and other supplies.
A total of 100 tons, which would be enough for Ye Qian and her group for a long time.
Lin Chen planned to register a company and hire some people to run errands, otherwise, he would be exhausted from running around every time.
He decided to act on the idea immediately. He first posted recruitment information online to see if anyone was interested.
By the time he finished, it was almost five o'clock, and Duoduo was about to be dismissed from school.
Lin Chen drove straight to the kindergarten, arriving exactly at five o'clock.
The children were just lining up, waiting for their parents.
Lin Chen got out of the car and immediately spotted Duoduo, lined up in the middle of the children.
Duoduo also saw Lin Chen, "Daddy, Daddy!"
She happily waved her small hand.
Soon, Teacher Liu walked out of the kindergarten, holding Duoduo's hand.
Lin Chen stepped forward and took Duoduo, "Duoduo, you weren't naughty at kindergarten, were you?"
Teacher Liu looked at Duoduo and said, "No, Duoduo is especially well-behaved and very sensible."
"That's good. Duoduo, say goodbye to Teacher Liu!" Lin Chen tugged at Duoduo.
"Goodbye, Teacher Liu."
"Goodbye, Duoduo."
