Chapter 1086: Chapter 1065: A Lively Start (Extra update for the reward from "Zhen Ying")

Manbao was startled and asked in her mind, "Regrettably what?"

"Regrettably, his thoughts and talents," Keke said. "Host, your laws are unequal, and this is not obvious to everyone."

Manbao was confused: "Isn’t this very obvious?"

"No, the host thinks it is obvious because since childhood, you have had access to the books in the Encyclopedia Gallery, and know the basic politics of my future world. But in the eyes of the people of this world, the royal family is supreme, nobles can redeem their crimes of killing commoners with money, while commoners who assault nobles could be executed—it’s the most natural thing."

Keke continued: "So, your teacher is very impressive."

Whether it was its host, Bai Shan or Bai Cheng, Keke was not surprised they had this understanding because since they were young, they have read extensively from the books in the Encyclopedia Gallery. They thought the books were merely tales, but most of them were historical studies interspersed with views and ideas from their world.

But Mr. Zhuang was different—he was an adult!

He occasionally confiscated their books to read, but never scolded them for heresy. Now, he could even utter such fundamental truths.

Thus, Keke said, it was a pity about Mr. Zhuang.

Manbao returned to her room with her books and homework, sat cross-legged on the bed, and had a serious chat with Keke, "Keke, have you noticed that the teacher has been distracted and worried these past few days?"

Keke acknowledged, "I have noticed."

Manbao sighed, "Is it because of Chen Fulin? It’s really a troublesome time, where everything seems to happen all at once."

Keke didn’t think it was something to be troubled about and said, "After analysis, Chen Fulin’s issues are trivial compared to the difficulties you face now."

"But he made the teacher upset."

Keke analyzed the host’s previous actions and asked, "So, does the host also want to put him in a sack?"

Manbao answered hesitantly, "...I would like to, but he’s an adult, and likely difficult to trick with a sack. Plus, he holds an official position, definitely not easy to deceive. If he truly reports to the authorities, then I’ll end up being that commoner who assaults an official and then gets executed."

It was fortunate that the host realized this.

Keke fell silent again.

Manbao didn’t mind and, after muttering to herself for a while, asked, "Keke, Teacher Mo said that Yin Huo’s illness is also hard to cure in your world, is that true? Are there any medicines in your Encyclopedia Gallery or in the marketplace that could cure him immediately after taking them?"

"There isn’t," Keke replied. "Unlike your mother’s illness which was acquired, his is congenital."

Congenital issues, especially illnesses, are much harder to solve.

Manbao sighed and stared blankly, propping her chin with her hands.

She had been pondering about Yin Huo’s illness, but as she thought, for some reason, the image of Bai Shan flashed through her mind—he sat in the carriage, his eyes shining as he stared at her, as if he held a gleaming star in his gaze, unwaveringly fixed on her...

Manbao felt her cheeks warming; she patted her face while Keke said, "Host, the fluctuations in your emotions are quite significant. Do you need me to check your body?"

Manbao shook her head.

"Are you sure you don’t need it? I think you might be secreting too much dopamine."

Holding her face, Manbao found nothing she couldn’t discuss with Keke, but her face was still red, "I know, Teacher Mo said that dopamine is a neurotransmitter, a chemical substance used to help cells transmit impulses. It is responsible mainly for the transmission of joy and excitement and is related to feelings of desire."

Keke: "... The host has learned so much."

I’ve become this amazing without realizing it?

Keke asked, "So, has the host thought of something exciting and happy?"

Manbao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then seriously said to it, "Keke, I think I’m probably in early romance. Teacher Mo told me that early romance is a disease that needs to be cured."

Keke: "... Host, that’s just Teacher Mo’s personal opinion."

"It’s not, Teacher Mo said he has written a paper on it, and it’s scientifically proven."

"No," Keke searched through the big data in the encyclopedia, and told Manbao through data comparison, "This is just Teacher Mo’s personal assertion. His paper has not yet passed the review, and a majority of medical scientists, psychologists, and educationalists oppose it. Of course, some agree, but at present, he is the only one who has written a paper on this issue. I suggest the host be cautious in accepting this knowledge."

Manbao stroked her chin as if deep in thought.

Keke reviewed all the events of the day in its chip and concluded that its host might really be about to fall in love.

Keke: "Host, in the spirit of our many years of cooperation, I have to remind you that you are still very young, only twelve years and eight months old. To a certain extent, early romance at this age may indeed be pathological, please be cautious."

Manbao nodded, "I’ll be cautious, but I suddenly remembered something, if we die first in the process of revenge, in the capital where nobles love to kill, does it even matter whether it’s early romance or not?"

Keke quickly replied: "An early romance without an outcome."

Manbao thoughtful, "But there can be a process."

Keke: "... So host, have you decided to engage in early romance?"

Manbao shook her head, "Weird, I don’t know why, but I suddenly really want to go climbing, or find someone to fight."

Keke: ... It seems that this is not only an excess of dopamine secretion but also possibly an overabundance of hormones.

Manbao hugged the quilt and thought for half the night, not entering the system to take lessons from Teacher Mo as usual. She thought that when she saw Bai Shan the next day, she would feel a bit uneasy, but as soon as she opened the door and their eyes met, they couldn’t help but smile, and all the uneasiness vanished.

From the next room, Bai Erlang yawned as he came out, holding a wooden basin, and seeing the two of them looking at each other sleepily, he grumbled, "I really should bring my big brother here to see you two."

Bai Shan was puzzled, "Why?"

"To compare how young you two are with how old my big brother is, he would sure punch you if he saw you like this."

"Senior Brother Bai is not that tasteless," Manbao blurted out before realizing she shouldn’t have, this was indirectly admitting it, wasn’t it?

She gave Bai Erlang a sidelong glance and walked past him with her wooden basin to draw water.

Bai Shan followed her with his basin.

Bai Erlang couldn’t help but yawn again and followed behind them complaining, "Do you know about the hierarchy of age in a family? Sixth Brother isn’t even married yet, my big brother hasn’t even talked about marriage, and I’m older than you two. You should restrain yourselves a bit, understand?"

Bai Shan retorted irritably: "Our families aren’t from the same clan."

"But isn’t our family from the same clan as yours? Even though I’m your Junior Brother, in the clan, I’m your cousin, and my big brother is your Senior Cousin."

Bai Shan: "You already said it’s ’cousin’."

Mr. Zhuang got up early in the morning and heard the children chattering and bickering, really, the day starts off lively like this.

Goodnight
