Chapter 2: Make Yourself At Home Since You’re Here
Shi Anfeng coldly glanced at the talkative person, listening to him calling “younger sister” every other word. He clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to punch his friend, and said in a deep voice, “Shut up!”
“Ah… oh.” Lin Xi saw his friend’s fist and decisively shut up.
“Major, we’ve already checked. Besides her own body being malnourished, the injuries from this star beast’s mental power attack have all self-healed due to her mental power awakening again. Now her mental power has broken through to A+, she’s turned misfortune into fortune.”
The doctor handed the check report in his hand to Shi Anfeng. Shi Anfeng quickly browsed through it and relaxed inwardly after finding no major issues.
“Our younger sister is awesome, her mental power has awakened again. I just don’t know if it can increase further.” Lin Xi stretched his head to look at the report in his friend’s hand, also feeling relieved.
There have been many cases in the past where people awakened their mental power again after being attacked by star beast mental power. People on the verge of death relied on strong willpower to awaken their mental power again. After awakening, not only did their injuries improve, but their mental power also surged.
Shi An’an curiously watched the doctors fiddling with various instruments. After finally checking her body, she was congratulated and they all left one after another.
“An’an, rest first. The starship will arrive at Capital Star soon, we’re almost home.” Shi Anfeng said stiffly.
“Oh, okay.” Shi An’an nodded.
Immediately, the two fell silent. Lin Xi poked his head in from the doorway, unable to hold back his laughter on his face. “Younger sister, this is your eldest brother, your real eldest brother Shi Anfeng. Don’t be afraid.”
Hearing this, Shi An’an finally looked up in surprise at the person in front of her. So this was the original host’s real eldest brother!
“…” Shi Anfeng’s face darkened a bit. He had forgotten to introduce himself to his younger sister. “Cough, yes, I’m your eldest brother. You can tell me if you need anything. Add my star number.” As he spoke, he opened his optical computer.
Shi An’an curiously looked at the thing on her eldest brother’s wrist. In her memory, this thing was called an optical computer, with many functions and very advanced. Unfortunately, she had no money in the first eighteen years. Her foster parents died in an accident while working in the mines when she was fourteen. She carefully saved the government’s compensation money to prepare for university.
Of course, when she was admitted to Capital Star University, the government gave her an optical computer, an ultra ultra ultra basic version. She hadn’t had time to study it before she was found and brought back by the Shi Family. She was anxious on the way and had no time to study the optical computer.
In this star beast attack, that optical computer she hadn’t studied yet heroically sacrificed itself.
Shi An’an raised her hand, looking at her empty wrist, then looked up. “It’s gone.” Immediately, her eyes glanced at her eldest brother’s optical computer, which seemed expensive and exquisite. She eyed it covetously.
Shi Anfeng looked at his younger sister’s slender wrist and envious gaze, feeling a pang in his heart. He had forgotten that his younger sister’s previous living conditions meant she couldn’t even afford an optical computer.
“I’ll have someone send one over. When we get home, I’ll buy you the style you like.” As he spoke, Shi Anfeng contacted someone to send over an optical computer.
“Hey, what a coincidence. I have a new unused optical computer. Let our younger sister use it.” Lin Xi quickly took out a new silver optical computer.
Shi An’an looked at her eldest brother and only took it after he nodded. “Thank you… uh…” Shi An’an turned to look at her eldest brother.
Shi Anfeng immediately understood his younger sister’s meaning. “His name is Lin Xi, from the same legion as me. You call him…”
“Elder brother!” Lin Xi quickly interrupted, smiling. “I’m the same age as your eldest brother. We’ve been friends since childhood. It’s not too much for you to call me elder brother.”
Shi An’an nodded and obediently called out, “Elder Brother Lin Xi.”
“Hey!” Lin Xi grinned in response. The Shi Family’s that younger sister had never called him elder brother. Every time they met, she had a cold face. This one was so obedient.
Shi Anfeng himself hadn’t heard his younger sister call him elder brother yet, and his friend had beaten him to it. His face grew darker, displeased as he stared at his friend.
Lin Xi ignored his friend’s cold demeanor and enthusiastically taught Shi An’an how to use the optical computer.
Soon, Shi An’an understood how to use this optical computer and marveled inwardly. As expected of the high-tech interstellar era. Such a small thing contained so many functions, much more exciting than the cultivation world she was in before.
“Gurgle…”
Suddenly, a stomach growling sound interrupted the three. Shi An’an then realized it was her stomach that was hungry and looked up at her real eldest brother.
“…”
Shi Anfeng’s forehead twitched. He understood his younger sister’s meaning again. His tongue pressed against his teeth, and he snorted coldly. “Call me eldest brother.”
“Eldest Brother.” Shi An’an obediently called out. She was the type who followed whoever provided. Calling him eldest brother wouldn’t cost her any flesh. She hadn’t called before because this eldest brother hadn’t smiled once since seeing her. Although he was a bit handsome, he didn’t even smile at his long-lost real younger sister, showing he was not easy to get along with.
She didn’t know if calling him eldest brother rashly would please him, so she simply didn’t call.
Hearing his younger sister finally call him “eldest brother,” Shi Anfeng’s expression softened. He took out a high-grade nutrient solution from his space button and handed it to Shi An’an.
“Drink this first. We’ll eat something delicious when we get home.”
Shi An’an took it, opened it, and smelled it. A pleasant aroma. She knew this; in her memory, it was called nutrient solution. It not only filled the stomach but was also good for the body. She had drunk it once before, but the taste wasn’t great. This one was obviously better than the one in her memory… probably.
Shi An’an drank it in one gulp, smacked her lips savoring it. A faint sweet fragrance. Not bad, better than bigu pills.
“Ding.” The optical computer beeped. Shi An’an looked down at the message and puzzledly looked at her eldest brother.
Shi Anfeng looked at his younger sister, his gaze softening. “I’ve transferred some pocket money to you. Buy whatever you want. If it’s gone, I’ll transfer more.”
“Thank you, Eldest Brother.” Shi An’an’s eyes lit up. Money! Her favorite!
Counting carefully, it was actually six figures. Shi An’an decisively dismissed the thought that her eldest brother was hard to get along with and decided to stick to his thigh from now on!
Seeing his younger sister’s finally smiling little face, Shi Anfeng was also happy.
Instructing his younger sister to rest, Shi Anfeng took Lin Xi and left.
After staying on the starship for two days, Shi An’an kept studying the optical computer and learned about this advanced era through it.
Going with the flow was Shi An’an’s greatest strength. Since she was here, she might as well stay. Over these two days, through her eldest brother’s explanations, she had a basic understanding of the Shi Family’s situation.
The Shi Family held a transcendent status in the Federation, accumulated from generations of military achievements. However, the original host’s father had suffered a mental power collapse on the battlefield five years ago and was now a vegetable, staying in the sanatorium.
The original host’s mother worked at the medical research institute but had now quit her job to stay by her husband’s side.
