"I'm back! Little ones, are you hungry?"
Just as Su Bai and Little Turtle were staring at each other with wide eyes, a rough voice came from the entrance. It was Su Bai's parents returning home from work.
Sister Su, who had been hiding in her room, quickly opened her door and rushed towards Dad.
"Dad, Su Bai is bullying your little darling! He even wants to stew the little turtle you raised!"
Sister Su said with a pitiful expression, as if tears were about to fall at any moment.
As Su Bai just opened his room door, he was instantly petrified: When did I bully you? Although I really do want to stew that rice bucket!
Su Bai's father, Su Zihao, naturally understood his daughter's personality. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but when he subconsciously glanced at the fish tank where he kept Little Turtle, he found that Little Turtle was indeed missing!
Su Zihao looked at Su Bai with mild curiosity. It was impossible to cook it; Su Bai didn't know how to cook anyway. He was waiting for Su Bai's explanation.
Su Bai shrugged helplessly and said, "Dad, I've awakened as a superpower user!"
"Oh, you awaken superpower..." Originally, Su Zihao was about to repeat Su Bai's words naturally, but the next second he stopped. Then his eyes stared at Su Bai tightly, with an incredulous expression on his face.
Even the wide open mouth couldn't stop trembling, both upper and lower lips were shaking uncontrollably.
"What? What did you say?"
"Say it again?"
Su Bai: "I have awakened as a superpower user."
"Sorry? I didn't catch that, say it again!"
Su Bai: ........
"Have you become a superpower user? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Su Zihao looked at Su Bai with an incredulous expression. The awakening of a superpower user is a rare occurrence, although Old Su once dreamed of it as well.
But Old Su is a real person. He knows very well how rare the Su family's bloodline is. Generations of our ancestors were just ordinary folks. Awakening superpower? This can't be a joke, right?
For a moment, the house fell into a strange silence. With three parts of doubt and seven parts of anticipation, everyone held their breath and looked at Su Bai. Su Bai, facing the disbelieving eyes of the whole family, nodded helplessly, "It's true, I've said it how much times." Only after Su Bai's repeated emphasis did the family finally believe.
Mom and Dad, needless to say, are naturally excited and can hardly contain themselves.
"My son, the Su family now has a superpower too! Hahaha, that's great! Let's see who dares to say that I, Old Su, am not capable!"
"My child, you've made us proud, really proud!"
No wonder Old Su is so excited. As long as one becomes a superpower, they can basically secure admission to Wuda, and after entering Wuda, they can at least obtain a decent official position. It can be said that they have now transcended the category of ordinary people. This is truly a great honor for the family! The one who finds it most difficult to accept Su Bai becoming a superpower is Sister Su. Su Bai was just playing around with her a moment ago!
How did I suddenly awaken as a superpower user? And I actually have a superpower user brother?
Sister Su asked with a puzzled look, "Why do I still feel unreal? So, what superpower did you awaken?"
"The abilities I currently know are taming exotic beasts and Evolution Beast. Coincidentally, when I came home today, I found that our Little turtle seemed to be evolving, so I tamed it directly."
"Although Little turtle isn't very strong, the school just issued a new rule today that anyone with superpower can skip the cultural exam and enroll directly in Wuda University."
In order to get more Little turtle's living expenses from the parents, Su Bai had to report the truth to them in detail.
Of course, the secrets about the system and Xuanwu couldn't be revealed.
Parents and Sister Su were surprised to hear that Little turtle had actually turned into an Evolution Beast and immediately clamored to go see it. This morning, before Su Zihao went to work, Little turtle was still the size of a fist, but now it's as big as a plate. Its volume has at least doubled! Its weight has also increased several times, feeling heavy when held in the hand.
"If it weren't for the unchanged patterns on this turtle shell, I would have suspected that Su Bai brought back another turtle from outside."
"In just one day, it has grown so much. If it could keep growing and become a mobile little mountain, then Su Bai's superpower would be really amazing!"
"Since Su Bai has become a superpower user, and coincidentally, Xiao Ba has also evolved, this is a double blessing. We must raise it no matter what!"
As the family excitedly discussed, Su Bai scratched his head and said, "Dad, there's one flaw with Xiao Ba; it eats too much. Raising it might require spending a bit more money... cough cough..."
Su Zihao casually replied, "How much can a turtle eat? It's fine, Dad will cover the expenses for you!"
Speaking, Su Zihao took out his wallet from his pocket, took out all the thousand yuan inside, and forcefully threw it onto the table.
That guy, it made quite a loud sound!
Su Bai awkwardly cleared his throat.
Quietly, he tucked a thousand yuan into his pocket and continued to look at Old Su without saying a word.
Old Su also felt something was off: "This thousand yuan is enough to buy it a year's worth of rations. Even if it's an Evolution Beast and eats a little more now, it's still enough."
At this moment, Su Bai inexplicably felt a bit of sympathy for Old Su: "It ate up all ten pounds of your feed."
Su Zihao laughed and said, "It's just ten pounds of feed, not much!"
"And the pork and leftovers in the fridge are all gone," said Su Bai.
"It's okay, it's okay, the pork isn't much either," said Su Bai's mother.
"There are still over 20 pounds of rice, 5 pounds of flour, a bag of vegetables, and all the bread, all gone."
Su ZihaoSilent.
Su BaiMother also remained silent.
We've finished eating everything we had at home!
A large bag of feed only costs a little over 200 yuan. In order for the child to have a future, the Su family can bear the cost even if it's a bit of a stretch. However, with all the additional things Su Bai mentioned, the total value is no less than 500 yuan! The combined daily wage of the Su family parents is just a little over 300 yuan!
Su Zihao took out a cigarette and slowly lit it for himself. He rarely smokes in front of the children, but at this moment, he felt immense pressure. If the child had no talent, it would be fine. After all, Su Bai slept in class every day. After he graduated from high school, Su Zihao could still take Su Bai to work at the factory and earn some extra money. But now that the child has awakened superpower, it's like being admitted to Wuhan University directly.
How can a father like me, who lacks ability, delay his own child? After blowing a smoke ring, Su Zihao asked, "Wife, how much savings do we have at home?"
"We have a little over thirty thousand. Little sister is about to enter high school, and her grades are good. We were planning to use this money for her tutoring classes."
After weighing the options, Su Zihao finally spoke up, "Take out ten thousand yuan. Tomorrow I will go to the feed wholesale market to negotiate and see if we can get a better deal for buying in bulk. As for the tutoring fees for my little sister, I will think of a way later. We can't delay things on Su Bai's side."
Su Bai's family was originally quite poor, and seeing his parents so troubled over his matters made him feel a bit guilty.
"Dad, one thousand yuan is enough. I have done some research on raising turtles before."
"You don't have to feed it exclusively with expensive food. Just buy some cheap stuff to feed it. A thousand yuan is enough to feed it for a long time."
"This thing is tough, not so delicate!"
Actually, Su Bai himself didn't know what to feed Xiao Ba to make it grow fast and save money. But Su Bai still decided that it would be better to figure out how to feed Xiao Ba on his own in the future.
If because of raising Xiao Ba one delays their younger sister and brings such a big burden to the family, Su Bai cannot forgive themselves. Regarding this matter, Su Bai and the family have settled on this.
A night of silence.
The next day on the way to school, Su Bai was thinking about how to raise Little Turtle.
After feeding it all night yesterday, Su Bai clearly found that Little Turtle's appetite was almost unlimited.
And as Little turtle continues to grow in size, its appetite also continues to increase. This thing is like a bottomless pit! Who knows how much money it will cost to feed it in the future!
Just as Su Bai was constantly struggling in his mind whether to return or just let it stew.
Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught sight of a seemingly unreliable billboard on a utility pole a few hundred meters away from the school.
"High price acquisition of exotic animal bones, blood, and fur, interested parties please contact: 137xxxxxxx……"
Su Bai immediately brightened up!
