11: My daughter has the qualifications of a great emperor?
Mo Fan glanced at the attribute panel and clicked the plus sign next to the Cultivation column.
In an instant, the Virtual panel flickered, and the Cultivation column changed.
【Cultivation: Body Tempering Second Level (+) (3/5)】
"It takes 5 Spirit Stones to add points again, still short by two—"
Mo Fan shook his head and took out the token to fiddle with it again.
Finally, feeling a bit sleepy, he stretched and drifted into a light sleep.
When he woke up, the car had stopped, and looking out the window, he saw the familiar residential complex.
"Sir, we have arrived at the destination, 220 yuan in total~" The driver looked at Mo Fan, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
Mo Fan nodded, got out of the car, deftly took out two one-hundred-yuan bills and two ten-yuan bills from his pocket, handed them to the driver, and waved his hand grandly, saying, "Keep the change!"
Driver: "???"
...
"Dad, you're back?"
Pushing the door open, Mo Fan saw Mo Yingying lounging on the sofa, drinking orange soda and watching TV.
Seeing this scene, Mo Fan was stunned.
This girl was actually watching TV?!
Wasn't that piece of junk long dead?!
Seeing his old, bulky color TV that had been broken for over a year displaying images again, Mo Fan found it unbelievable.
"Hee hee, impressive, right? I went out this morning, bought some parts, and fixed it~" Mo Yingying put down her soda, got off the sofa, and pointed at the TV with a proud look.
"Impressive, truly impressive. You must have graduated from the School of Electronic and Information Engineering, right?" Mo Fan praised repeatedly, while catching a glimpse of the soldering iron next to the TV.
"No way, I'm just like you, just graduated from high school and haven't started university yet." Mo Yingying rolled her eyes at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan: "..."
Why does that sound so strange?
Mo Yingying continued, "Also, I applied for Martial Arts University, which doesn't have an Electronic and Information Engineering major."
"Then how do you know how to fix a TV?"
"Fixing a TV or something, isn't it just something you do with your hands?" Mo Yingying spread her hands.
Mo Fan was stunned. He looked at his own hands, then at Mo Yingying, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Oh, it's past five. Dad, you rest for a while, I'm going to cook dinner."
Mo Yingying glanced at the wall clock, stretched, and headed toward the kitchen.
"Alright, remember to add extra chili." Mo Fan nodded, walked to the sofa, and collapsed into a reclined position.
After a day of running around, he was also a bit tired.
"Got it~" Mo Yingying's response came from the kitchen.
Before long, the sounds of clattering pots and pans came from the kitchen.
Then, the smell of garlic sautéed in oil and a somewhat pungent spicy scent wafted out.
Mo Fan looked at the uninteresting TV screen and asked casually.
"In your era, aren't all the TVs ultra-thin, super-large, and ultra-high-definition?"
"It's about the same as now, basically no change." Mo Yingying's voice came from the kitchen.
Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded and didn't ask further.
The technology tree of Blue Star seemed a bit skewed.
It was already 2022, yet mainstream TVs were still black and white. This 24-inch color TV in Mo Fan's house was already considered a high-end product.
Besides that, mobile phones and such were still stuck in the PHS era, with no entertainment value to speak of.
As for thermal weapons, it was even more absurd; the most powerful thermal weapon wasn't even as strong as a casual strike from a Transcendent Martial Artist.
After watching the TV show with terrible picture quality and a plot so awkward it made his toes curl, Mo Fan clicked the TV off.
"This thing, even a dog would shake its head at it. It's not even as interesting as Cultivating!"
Mo Fan shook his head, sat cross-legged on the sofa, palms facing up, and began to Cultivate using the Breathing Technique.
Before long, a large table of dishes was served by Mo Yingying.
"Dad, wake up, it's time to eat. You need to balance work and rest."
"You eat first, I'll run one more cycle."
Mo Yingying: "..."
Watching her father so obsessed with Cultivating that he couldn't extricate himself, Mo Yingying felt a bit helpless.
Was Dad so self-disciplined when he was young?
A few minutes later, Mo Fan finished Cultivating and found that his daughter had already served him rice and was waiting for him at the dining table.
"Come on, come on, it's time to eat~" Mo Yingying urged.
Seeing this, Mo Fan couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.
"Here, Dad, this is your favorite pickled fish. I specifically went to the East City to buy it~" Mo Yingying picked up a large piece of pickled fish and placed it in Mo Fan's bowl.
Then, she pointed to the large lobster as thick as an arm on the table, looking proud.
"And this big lobster, I ran through several seafood markets to pick it out. It's big and lively, the meat must be delicious. You should try it~"
"Oh right, this king crab was also hard to come by. When I saw it, I thought it was very spirited, so I bought it back. It must taste great~"
Mo Fan: "???"
Mo Fan looked at the large table of seafood, a bit confused.
Although these were all dishes he loved, but...
"Where did you get the money to buy all this? Did you bring it from the future?"
"Dad, what are you thinking? How could money from the future be used here?" Mo Yingying said with a look of disdain.
"Then what's going on?" Mo Fan frowned.
Mo Yingying thought for a moment and explained, "When I was out shopping, I accidentally saved a little girl from human traffickers. Her grandfather gave me 500,000 as a reward..."
Mo Fan: "???"
This can happen too?
However, soon, his face darkened, and he said seriously.
"Helping others is a good thing, but you must remember to act within your capabilities.
"Now, human trafficker gangs basically all have Martial Artists. If you are unlucky and encounter a Martial Artist with profound cultivation, not only will you fail to save the person, but you will also get yourself into trouble.
"In the future, if you encounter such things, remember to notify the Public Security Bureau first; do not act rashly."
Hearing this, Mo Yingying felt a warmth in her heart.
She smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's fine, I'm very strong. In Jiangcheng, I can be considered a master; I won't capsize in the gutter."
Hearing this, Mo Fan's face turned black.
What nonsense is she talking about?
You, a Body Tempering Peak newbie, have the nerve to call yourself a master?
However, soon, Mo Fan was stunned.
He sensed the faint, elusive aura of cultivation emanating from Mo Yingying.
It was long and lingering, seemingly gentle, yet it gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
"Hiss, this aura—"
Mo Fan's expression froze, and he focused his mind, casting an Appraisal Technique at Mo Yingying.
In an instant, the Virtual panel flickered.
The appraisal information belonging to Mo Yingying quickly displayed.
【Mo Yingying, 18 years old, Foundation Establishment First Level, from 27 years later, accidentally encountered a space-time rift, Transmigration to this era, Awakening Invincible Physique, has Emperors Talent.】
Mo Fan: "???"
What the hell is this?
Am I blind?
This girl actually reached Foundation Establishment?!
Skipping Innate from Body Tempering Peak and going straight to Foundation Establishment?!
How did she do it?
Invincible Physique?
Emperors Talent?
What the hell is this again?!
Looking at Mo Yingying's latest appraisal information, Mo Fan was dumbfounded.
