This is a very ordinary world.
A very ordinary world in a real sense.
Here, there are no magicians hiding in the dark studying magic, nor puppet masters operating puppets. There is just nature that people love and fear.
In terms of era, it should be said that this place is very similar to Chaldea in 2018, unlike the world of ingenuity, which is still in the steam age.
There are lively crowds in the city.
There are cars coming and going on the streets.
People live ordinary lives.
People grow up normally.
People experience the ups and downs of ordinary life.
A modern world with no mystery, no magic, only reality.
That's what this world is all about.
In such a world, there is an orphanage in a corner of the island country in the far east.
It was one of the best orphanages in the area.
The so-called "one of the best" here does not mean that it is very outstanding, the largest in scale among all orphanages, or among the best. It means that there are only a few orphanages in the nearby area, probably only one or two, so it is said to be one of the best. .
Although such an orphanage cannot be called outstanding, it is enough to allow children who have lost their parents to grow up healthily.
However, children in this orphanage grow up in two ways.
One is to be raised until adulthood and become independent as an adult, thus leaving the orphanage.
One is to find an adopter before adulthood, become someone else's adopted son, and get a different childhood.
Of course, these are things that children don’t need to know.
The children only need to live here carefree until one day they leave alone or meet their own adoptive parents.
Under such circumstances, the children in the orphanage often played together and lived happily every day.
However, just a few months ago, a strange child appeared here.
That's a boy.
He's about four years old, right
It is said that he was found on the street by the staff of the orphanage and brought back.
It is said that before this, he had been wandering alone for half a month. Although he was an orphan, he was always able to inexplicably come up with money, buy food, or find a hotel alone, even if there were no adults or ID cards around him. So I couldn't register and stayed in a regular hotel. The other party used words that were unimaginable for a child to convince others and get a place to live.
People also thought about calling the police and asking the police to intervene, but the other party always disappeared without a trace before that, as if they knew everything was going on.
It wasn't until he was discovered by the staff of the orphanage on the street that he agreed to come to the orphanage after some thought.
The reason is this.
"Since I can live and eat for free and don't need to waste time thinking about my livelihood, I can also spend more time on my own things."
This is how the other party agreed.
After that, the child lived in this orphanage, but he never played with the children here. He was also completely uninterested in toys and other things. Every day, he would either hide in his room and not know what to do, or he would look exhausted. look like.
When the dean was alarmed by this and came in person to ask him what he wanted, the other party said this without hesitation.
"If you have a computer, give me one. I want to play games."
It was unbelievable that such a person could be a four-year-old child.
What’s even more incredible is that in the end, the dean actually agreed.
The reason is even simpler.
"Even if I tell him that he must study hard and wait until he grows up to play games, but this kid solves the high school level exercises I prepared in front of me, and if he still gets full marks, then there is nothing I can do about it. ah."
The dean just smiled wryly.
Therefore, people can often see that in this orphanage, a four-year-old boy often sits alone in the corner, holding a laptop, staring at the screen and playing games while others are playing. Various games that are difficult for even adults to play.
Gradually, word spread that there was an overly smart and extremely special child here.
Many adults came here for this reason, wanting to meet this rumored smart and special child. Some were out of curiosity, while others simply did not believe that a four-year-old child could understand high school level knowledge and still get full marks. Planning to come and make things difficult for him.
As a result, these adults were all frightened.
Because, with a face full of impatience, this child not only completed the high school level exercises with perfect marks, but also solved all the large study sets brought by the busybody within ten minutes.
Suddenly, the adults were in a commotion, and many people even proposed to adopt the child on the spot.
Needless to say the reason here, right
With such a child prodigy, I believe many adults would want to adopt him, whether out of love or wanting a child who is destined to succeed.
Unfortunately, this child refused on the spot.
"I don't want to work in the future. I just want to eat and die."
With just one sentence, all the adults looked at each other and retreated in defeat.
On this very day…
"You are the very smart child prodigy in the rumors, right?"
When such a voice sounded from the front, the boy who was immersed in the laptop game raised his head blankly.
In front of him, he saw a woman wearing a cotton shirt, jeans, and a cold-proof jacket. She wore light makeup and combed her hair back.
The female's age should be around twenty years old, right
However, the other party said so.
"I am a mother of two children, and they are also very smart, right?"
Hearing such words, the young man was stunned for a while, and then he also laughed.
"In this case, why are you coming to me because you want to adopt me?"
The boy said this in a tone that was too lazy for a four-year-old child.
This was the answer in exchange.
"It's not like we can't consider it, right?"
The other party said with a smile.
"Although my two children are also very smart, I am engaged in computer-related work as an information editor. I started playing games when I was in elementary school. So when I heard that you, a child prodigy, like to play games very much, I I couldn’t help but come over and take a look.”
After saying this, the other party began to introduce himself.
"My name is Tonggu Cui."
With these words, the woman who called herself Kiritani Tsui stretched out a hand to the boy.
"Would you like to come with me?"
Sure enough, this person also came here to adopt him.
The boy's first thought was this.
However, the other party did not value his knowledge, but came here because he liked to play games, which made Luo Zhen feel a little special.
Therefore, the young man only said this sentence.
"Do you have a computer?"
About half an hour later, the boy and the woman named Kiritani Tsui left the orphanage.
The other party also gave the boy a name to be registered in the household registration book.
Its name is…
"Tonggu Qinghe."
