[Hawk Owl]
[Combat Power: None]
[Ability: None]
"Just hatched little Ferocious Beasts?"
Lin Lang stood in place, one hand on his chest and the other stroking his chin, contemplating how to handle it.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
But the little hawk owl flapped its tender wings, seemingly wanting to flip out of the nest to find Lin Lang.
The next second.
It really flipped out of the nest, only to suddenly fall from a great height.
"Chirp chirp chirp—"
In the next moment.
A slender branch wrapped around the little hawk owl and brought it right in front of Lin Lang.
The hawk owl kept chirping, its claws and wings flapping incessantly.
"If you don't behave, I'll drop you."
Lin Lang said casually.
As a result, the little hawk owl seemed to understand his words, truly stopped struggling, and just stared at Lin Lang with its golden eyes, tilting its head from side to side.
"Could it be that this little guy thinks I'm its mom?"
Lin Lang felt a bit speechless.
Strictly speaking, he was its father's killer.
When it grows up, will it come looking for revenge?
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The little hawk owl called out to Lin Lang, forcefully breaking free from the branch's grasp.
Then it flapped its little wings.
Wobbling, it flew onto Lin Lang's shoulder.
Affectionately rubbing against his neck.
"You sure know how to be cute! Alright then!"
Lin Lang sighed lightly, turned around, and controlled the branch to take him back to the study.
Lin Lang sat in the computer chair.
He placed the hawk owl on the computer desk.
At this moment, it was neither noisy nor troublesome, its fluffy, kitten-like head tilted as it gazed at Lin Lang.
"Time to give you a name."
"Let's call you… Little Tiger!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
"Then I'll take that as your agreement. You just hatched, you should eat something."
Lin Lang thought for a moment and took out a bowl of rice from his space.
He placed the bowl in front of the little tiger.
The little tiger buried its head and pecked, but it kept pecking at Lin Lang's hand instead.
It actually hurt quite a bit!
Don't be fooled, the little tiger had just hatched.
But its essence was that of a demon beast!
If it bit down, it could probably poke a hole in a person! Fortunately, Lin Lang's skin was tough enough to remain unscathed.
"Are you blind, or do you just not want to eat?"
"Since your mom eats people, you're probably a meat eater too, right?"
Lin Lang casually tossed the bowl of rice out the window.
Then he took out some fresh pork from his space.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The little tiger was excited, pecking at the pork, quickly making a fist-sized dent.
"You've got quite the appetite…"
Lin Lang frowned slightly.
"You can't return the resources to me, what if you eat me poor? No, I need to reconsider our relationship!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The little tiger seemed to really understand Lin Lang's words.
It immediately stopped eating, flew into his arms, and kept acting cute.
Then it flew around the study, performing various difficult maneuvers.
As if to say:
"I'm very useful! Look how fast I can fly!"
Smack! It crashed into the light in Lin Lang's study, shattering it.
Lin Lang: "…"
The little tiger landed on the computer desk, curling up into a ball, trembling continuously.
With its big, watery eyes staring at Lin Lang:
'You know, I lost my mom when I was little…'
In the end, Lin Lang succumbed to its cat-like charm.
He decided to keep it.
"It's just a bird, how much can it eat anyway?"
At this moment, Lin Lang clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
...
In the owner's group, a woman sent a message: [Please help me find my husband! He's gone!]
[Yesterday he took a purple grape, insisting it was a Superpower Fruit, and then he ate it! As a result, he really could fly!]
[But as soon as he flew out the door, he disappeared.]
...
Group members replied: [A living person flew up into the sky? Is that true?]
[Did he leave you and go off to play somewhere?]
[Why did he fly out the door? Don't you know it's dangerous outside right now?]
[I think I heard a scream yesterday…]
[My condolences.]
[Seriously, I suggest everyone, if you find a Superpower Fruit, it's best to trade it with Lin Bulang for resources! Superpowers are usually too much for ordinary people to handle!]
[Lin Bulang, speak up!]
...
While eating, Lin Lang scrolled through the group messages and casually asked Ning Shuangyu: "Have you heard of a purple Superpower Fruit? Eating it can make people fly?"
Ning Shuangyu pondered: "I only know about black, red, and gold Superpower Fruits. I haven't heard of purple; it's likely a Superpower Fruit with special abilities?"
Lin Lang nodded.
This was pretty much in line with his speculation.
There must be more types of Superpower Fruits than just these few; there were definitely others they hadn't discovered yet.
It was just a pity.
He hadn't been able to get that purple flying fruit.
After eating, Gu Fei and the others went downstairs in a group.
He really didn't know what fun things awaited them below.
So Lin Lang used his Psychic Power to see what these three women were up to behind his back.
But he found out.
They were down there playing dress-up! Gu Fei, who usually paid attention to her image and had money, had her several large wardrobes completely full!
With bags, jewelry, cosmetics, and other things.
All of which were a woman's favorites! And Ning Shuangyu, being a special agent, usually didn't have much time to dress up.
Lü Suran was introverted and didn't like going out.
So all these things in Gu Fei's house were incredibly fresh to them, as if they had opened the door to a new world.
It was understandable that they were so engrossed.
It was just a pity for Lin Lang.
He had been alone at home for the past few days.
"It seems I need to find someone else to keep me company."
Lin Lang thought to himself.
...
Lin Lang used his Psychic Power to observe the few guys from the Patrol Team.
He found that their supplies were running low.
These days, they had been working hard.
Conducting a thorough search up and down the building!
They had indeed cleared out quite a few Bugs!
Now, the residents were even brave enough to go out for a stroll occasionally.
Lin Lang was very satisfied with their progress.
So he sent them a box of supplies.
Including three Mid-Grade Physique Fruits!
When they received the supplies.
"The Light of Righteousness" believed he had the greatest contribution, so he ate a Superpower Fruit, raising his combat ability to another level.
The other two fruits were given to those he had a better relationship with.
There were still two people left in the team who hadn't received any.
They had some minor grievances.
"The Light of Righteousness" promised that next time the Mysterious Person sent Superpower Fruits, he would definitely share with them.
Thus, they set aside their grievances and continued to devote themselves to the pest control mission…
In the following days.
Lin Lang didn't even look at his phone.
He didn't even eat.
Ever since he last experienced meditating to absorb the Red Mist, he couldn't forget that feeling.
So he chose to enter seclusion in the study!
Of course, he had prepared ample supplies for the three women in advance, so they wouldn't be gone when he came out of seclusion.
In the study.
Lin Lang sat in the computer chair, eyes closed in meditation.
He quickly entered that mysterious state again.
His body generated a suction force, continuously drawing the external Red Mist into his body!
And this suction force was growing stronger! But this time, Lin Lang had gained control over this suction.
Allowing him to quickly and massively absorb the mist without causing the chaotic phenomena like last time.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
From morning till night, day and night! Lin Lang's body seemed like a bottomless pit, absorbing an unknown amount of mist!
Yet it still showed no signs of reaching its limit! And at this moment! Under Lin Lang's terrifying absorption rate!
The dense fog within the Happiness Residential Complex had actually dissipated quite a bit!
It was almost possible to see the scenery of the entire community! In the vast expanse of Red Mist, it was as if a chunk had been forcibly dug out! The people in the community were all very surprised!
Thinking that this crisis was about to pass!
But Lin Lang knew.
This was just because he had absorbed a bit too much these past few days.
But this also gave him hope: "Maybe, I really can suck all the Red Mist in the world dry!"
