Although it is just picking up garbage, picking up garbage in the slums is not an easy task.
Because Gu Ran is not the only one who makes a living by picking up garbage, there are other children, older children, and even adults.
Faced with so many competitors, Gu Ran's tiny arms and legs were no match for them.
Although the slum is large, not every area is suitable for picking up garbage. Generally, there are some trash cans near some main roads. The probability of picking up useful garbage at these places is greater, but at the same time, these places are also important targets for competition.
Everyone couldn't help but feel emotional as they watched Gu Ran on the light screen expertly rummaging through the trash can and then expertly escaping before the older kids could teach him a lesson.
"Although this tyrant ruled the Human Alliance cruelly, we have to admit that his rise from a street kid who made a living by picking up garbage in the slums to the president of the Human Alliance is indeed a legend."
"Yes, even for people who have all kinds of resources since childhood, it is rare to grow to our level of strength. It is not easy. But he was able to grow from a street kid in the slums to a dignified president. His strength is overwhelming. It is indeed admirable."
"So what if he's powerful? So what if he's a legend? Isn't he still a tyrant? Perhaps it's because he grew up in a slum that he has evil intentions. He was crooked from the beginning!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Gu Ran was indeed a legend, but a frightening legend.
Childhood has a profound impact on a person. Perhaps it was because he grew up in a chaotic and sinful place like the slums that led to Gu Ran's evil character.
Gu Qingqing remained silent.
Was it because he was exposed to the evil of the slums when he was a child? Was that why he became the tyrant that everyone feared
Seeing the silent Gu Qingqing, Lin Fan thought for a moment and said:
"Not necessarily. Even among people who come from the slums, there are still some who remain untainted. For example, Qingqing, although she also comes from the slums, has never done anything bad! Instead, she is willing to sacrifice her relatives for the sake of justice and help us overthrow the tyrant."
"In my opinion, some people are born to do evil. No matter what their origins are, they are destined to become evil people. Obviously, the tyrant is such a person."
Someone at the scene immediately agreed.
As Lin Fan is very likely to become the next president, there are still many people who want to make friends with him.
Lin Fan looked at Gu Qingqing with a smile, wanting to see her gratitude towards him, but he found that Gu Qingqing seemed to have no feeling about the communication with the people around her, and was still staring at the light screen without blinking.
Lin Fan’s smile froze.
On the light screen, Gu Ran had finished a day of picking up trash and returned to his small "home".
"Ah, that's not right. Aren't that tyrant and Lady Gu Qingqing siblings? Why is he the only one here?"
Indeed, Gu Ran was alone from beginning to end in the picture.
There is no Gu Qingqing and no other family members.
Obviously, Gu Ran is an orphan.
"Yeah, and the tyrant's parents didn't show up either, so..."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Qingqing.
If it was Gu Ran's parents who gave birth to Gu Qingqing later, then Gu Ran had to have parents.
Gu Ran's life experience was a complete mystery to everyone. Before this, they didn't know that Gu Ran was born in a slum and was an orphan.
At this time, a guess emerged in everyone's mind, but because of Gu Qingqing's strength, no one said it directly.
Sure enough, new changes soon appeared on the screen.
Gu Ran, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and left his residence.
Following the moonlight, Gu Ran walked to a place several dozen meters away.
There was a baby in swaddling clothes crying under the moon.
4. This baby cannot possibly be Gu Qingqing!
Gu Ran looked at the baby at the corner and was very surprised.
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
Gu Ran immediately searched around to see if the baby's parents were still around.
After searching for a while, Gu Ran found no signs of other people nearby, and he realized that the baby had been completely abandoned.
Many people in the slums have to work very hard just to stay alive, and babies like this are a complete burden.
The last thing the baby's parents did for their child was probably not to completely cut off her life, nor to abandon her in some remote place, but to place her on the corner of a street.
During the day, when there are more people here, perhaps some kind-hearted person will adopt the baby.
But the greater possibility is that no one cares...
Gu Ran squatted down and checked the baby.
The baby's skin, which should have been white and tender, looked a little sallow, indicating malnutrition, and his hair was also sparse. He did not look cute at all like a baby should.
"Are you hungry?"
Gu Ran thought about it, turned back to his residence, took out a piece of bread and a bottle of water.
Gu Ran returned to the baby, tore the bread into small pieces, dipped it in a little water, and put it into the baby's mouth.
As soon as the wet fingers touched the baby's lips, they were immediately sucked. After the bread entered the baby's mouth, the baby's crying immediately became much quieter.
Seeing that it was effective, Gu Ran quickly tore off a few small pieces and fed them to the baby.
On the moonlit street, a thin little boy squatted on the ground and gently fed a baby, looking strangely warm.
... ...
In front of the triangular crystal cone.
Someone whispered.
"That baby must be Master Gu Qingqing, I didn't expect that Master Gu Qingqing was picked up by that tyrant."
"It turns out that the tyrant and Lady Gu Qingqing are not real siblings. No wonder he has no brotherly love at all and cruelly tried to seize Lady Gu Qingqing's supernatural crystal core."
"That makes sense. No wonder this tyrant is so heartless and heartless."
Gu Qingqing frowned and looked at the light screen where Gu Ran was gently feeding the baby.
She was also shocked and confused for a moment, because Gu Ran had never said that she and she were not biological siblings.
But judging from the light screen, it seemed that she was picked up by Gu Ran at this time.
So we are not siblings
That's why you can be so heartless...
Gu Qingqing's heart was a little confused.
"Impossible, that baby definitely can't be Qingqing!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared and spoke in a decisive tone.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were turning to him, Lin Fan continued, "Have you all forgotten? The inheritance of the supernatural crystal core can only be carried out between blood relatives! People who are not blood relatives cannot integrate the supernatural crystal core of others into their own bodies even if they take it away, because the blood is different and it will be rejected!"
"Why did the tyrant try to seize Qingqing's supernatural power crystal core? I think it was simply because he was attracted by Qingqing's rare spatial supernatural power and wanted to integrate her supernatural power crystal core so that he could also gain spatial supernatural power."
"If they are not blood relatives, then why would he want to seize Qingqing's crystal core? It is totally useless!"
"Look, I guess either this baby is someone else, or this baby had an accident and didn't survive, or, the tyrant didn't adopt this baby at all!"
"After all, his own life was precarious, so how could he possibly adopt this baby? Feeding this baby was just a sudden good thought. Maybe he hadn't been too affected by the bad things in the slums at that time. When he faced reality, his evil nature would definitely take over his heart again."
The argument is well-reasoned and convincing.
At least most people present basically believed this speculation, because they also remembered that the supernatural crystal core is the source of the supernatural's power, and it can be integrated into other people through special methods, but the two people must be blood relatives with close blood ties.
An A-level psychic said hesitantly: "But, that tyrant seems to be an orphan. If Lady Gu Qingqing was not adopted by him, then where is Lady Gu Qingqing now?"
This is indeed a problem.
Lin Fan thought about it and said with a smile: "I think it should be that the tyrant in the back has found his parents. After all, considering his age, he still has a lot of time to grow. Perhaps this can also explain why the tyrant and Qingqing are siblings, but have different character of good and evil."
"It turns out that I misunderstood. It seems that Qingqing is not from the same slum as that tyrant. Qingqing's kind nature must have been influenced by her parents."
At the end of his speech, Lin Fan looked at Gu Qingqing gently.
Everyone nodded in understanding. This was indeed a very reasonable guess.
Gu Qingqing's eyes also moved slightly.
She looked at the light screen and said softly, "So, I should be able to see my parents later, right?"
What impressed her about Lin Fan's speculation was the part about her parents. She had no memory of her parents at all, only continuous learning and strict instruction from her teachers.
She really wanted to know what her parents looked like and what news they had.
Lin Fan was stunned. Gu Qingqing did not agree with his words of praise for her, but was concerned about other things. This made him feel a little depressed.
Then he nodded affirmatively, taking credit for himself and said, "Of course, Qingqing, just keep reading. I think my guess must be correct. This is the most reasonable explanation at the moment!"
In the light screen.
Gu Ran fed the baby for a while, and when he saw that the baby finally stopped sucking his fingers and was full, he hesitated.
After putting away the bread and water, Gu Ran turned his head to look at the baby on the ground. Finally, he returned to his residence, lay down on the bed, and seemed to fall asleep again.
... ...
Lin Fan said with a little pride: "Look, I was right. The baby was not Qingqing, and the tyrant didn't seem to adopt the baby. He just showed some kindness and then abandoned the baby."
Someone else echoed: "That baby is so pitiful, he was abandoned twice in a short period of time."
