"Yu." Skadi held the hand of Hong Yu, who was cleaning up the trash at the orphanage. "The director is looking for you."
"That old man is looking for me?" Hong Yu stopped what he was doing and at the same time pulled away the hand that Skadi was holding. "Don't touch, I haven't washed my hands yet, they're dirty."
But even though her hand holding Hong Yu's was pushed away, Skadi still stubbornly held on.
Helpless, Hong Yu had no choice but to let her hold on.
As he walked to the director's office with Skadi, Hong Yu also wondered what matter could make that old man look for him.
Could it be... that that matter finally has some progress?!
...
"Dr. Yu, the adoption process for Skadi that you applied for has been approved." The old director with white temples held Skadi's adoption papers in his hand and handed them to Hong Yu.
"Mm, okay, thanks," Hong Yu casually took it, and then quickly took Skadi to pack her things, preparing to move.
To be honest, Hong Yu was a little speechless at the efficiency of the Aegir people.
It had taken him half a year just to apply for an adoption, which also led to the fact that for the past six months, every time he came to the orphanage, he had to wait a whole day for the notice of approval.
Although the interaction with Skadi during this period was also quite interesting, so Hong Yu wouldn't be too bored.
Although he had once asked about the progress of the adoption papers when he got impatient, the answer he got was "a single unmarried man who is too young needs to be observed for half a year to adopt a girl...".
So you Aegir people are really fun. If I can adopt, I'll adopt on the spot. If I can't adopt, I'll just let Skadi be until she comes of age. But you come up with a "observation period" that is neither here nor there?
People outside have almost defaulted to thinking that I'm an intern at this orphanage, okay?
Although Hong Yu could directly use a soul suggestion, but again... there was no need.
It's not like I can't wait, so there's no need to use a mental suggestion to sacrifice my life for a little bit of time.
But these six months have really passed in a flash.
Hong Yu felt a little emotional. At the same time, the sound of Skadi finishing packing reminded him.
"Yu, I'm done packing. Let's go," Skadi reminded the dazed Hong Yu, pointing to the pitifully small amount of luggage on the side.
"So fast? Er, okay, actually there's not much stuff."
...
Hong Yu had already chosen the house to live in. It was a house he had rented on a street with relatively cheap rent but a very good environment.
It was a two-story design. The first floor was a sculpture art sales shop opened by the original owner, and the second floor was the living quarters. Both floors were rented to Hong Yu.
As for where Hong Yu, who spent all day at the orphanage with Skadi and had no time to earn money, got his money...
The answer is that Hong Yu made it himself.
Although this time, those settings like being able to teleport at will, use mental hypnosis, and have explosive combat power were all optimized by this transmigration, like Ultraman Zero with ten thousand harmony patches.
But copying and creating some money was still no problem.
As for why Hong Yu didn't make more money... have you ever heard of the crime of having a huge amount of property from an unknown source?
So it's not that Hong Yu didn't want to, it's that he couldn't, especially in a city like Aegir where the jurisdiction is extremely strict.
And the reason why Hong Yu chose to rent this building was also because he could use the excuse of selling sculpture art to cover up the fact that he was cheating to make money.
Everyone knows that a sculpture shop is very idle when it's idle, and very busy when it's busy. But for Hong Yu, sculpture is simply a piece of cake. Although he no longer has the perverted physical data he had when he dealt with "Sui" last time, he is still no match for fine work like sculpture that doesn't require fighting.
What's more, even if he's busy, there's nothing that can't be solved with a single copy. (Except for things that are too large or very fine.)
In short: A sculpture shop is simply the best tool to cover up my cheating to make money!
"Sculpture?" Skadi looked at Hong Yu with confusion and asked curiously, "Yu, you know how to do this too? Aren't you a psychologist?"
Originally, in Skadi's expectation, she should have been taken by Hong Yu to a house like a psychologist's office. She never expected that this handsome guy had actually hidden his identity from her.
"Are you also a sculptor?"
"Ahem... er, the original... clinic was sold because it had no money and no future. Now I'm going to become the greatest sculptor in Aegir. Titi, do you approve of me?" Hong Yu coughed twice and then smiled sheepishly at Skadi.
Ah, I've been a sweeping uncle at the orphanage for too long. I've forgotten that I still have this psychologist identity patch...
The corners of Hong Yu's mouth twitched twice as he thought numbly.
Skadi looked at Hong Yu's clowning, and after a while, as if comforting a child, she stood on tiptoe and patted Hong Yu's head.
"Mm, I believe in you."
Skadi: ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ (Already gradually getting used to this unreliable adult.)
"Well... as long as you don't hate it," Hong Yu opened the door of the room. The inside was exceptionally clean because he had been cleaning it from time to time for a long time. It didn't look like a rented, dilapidated house at all.
Speaking of which, he didn't know that Skadi's adoption would take half a year at first, so the fact that he had prepared the house so early now seemed like a joke.
As for where the joke was...
He had already paid five months' rent... and he had to come and clean it once a week even though no one was living in it...
What is this if not being a big sucker?
Sigh...
But sculpture?
I wonder if it will attract a certain shark who loves sculpture...

"Ulpianus, what are you wiping?" a colleague's question made Ulpianus's hand that was wiping the photo stop.
"Just the frame of an old photo from more than ten years ago," Ulpianus gently placed the photo frame in his hand into his storage box.
On it was himself before he had undergone the Abyssal Hunter surgery, and a bastard who had been forgotten by almost everyone and only remembered by a handful of people, with his arm around his shoulder.
At that time, he was also young, and this familiar guy had become his friend for a while at the very beginning. Although they were separated later because he became an Abyssal Hunter, after a long time in the military, he had also unexpectedly appeared in the Abyssal Hunter team.
That guy, he really did fulfill the boast he had made to me at that time.
"I'm going to save the world!"
For such words to come out of an adult's mouth... heh, it's really quite funny.
But the dramatic thing is, he did it.
The price was that he was forgotten by almost everyone who knew him.
It's very dramatic, you bastard. You left us to fulfill the boast you made. How childish.
Ulpianus couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then silently closed the lid of the storage box.
