The guidance workshop that Fang Zheng bought is not too small. It is a three-story independent building. The first floor is the specialty store, the second floor is the bedrooms of the little girls, and the third floor is Fang Zheng's bedroom and research office. Fang Zheng is waiting now.

The three of them stayed on the first floor, looking boredly at the empty hall.

In fact, this is normal. Although in Samlia, the guidance revolution has penetrated into thousands of households, and various devices developed with guidance as power have entered the civilian field, but they are just small things, similar to guidance.

High-tech weapons such as power weapons are still very expensive for ordinary civilians.

"It's stuck."

At this moment, the back door beside Fangzheng opened, and then Fei walked in with a yawn.

"Phew, good morning."

"It's already noon, and good morning."

Ling looked at Fei with a smile, and at the same time stretched out her hand to shave her face.

"Fei is such a lazy idiot, no shame!"

"Because the sun is very comfortable..."

Fei obviously didn't intend to argue with Ling, so she just replied helplessly.

"Teacher Eluma is coming this afternoon? Have you finished your homework?"

"Ugh..."

Hearing Ling's inquiry, Fei's sleepy cheeks suddenly turned bitter. She stood there blankly and turned around after a moment.

"I'm going to train."

"Ah, you ran away! If you don't finish your homework today, you will be punished by copying it ten times!"

Fang Zheng sat on a chair nearby and watched the interaction between Ling and Fei with a smile. Eluma was a scholar and a tutor invited by Fang Zheng. Basically, since there were only four of them, plus three of them were of different ages.

There's not much difference, so we basically take classes together.

Among these four people, to Fang Zheng's surprise, the one with the best results was Ling, the youngest, followed by Enaya, Anjie, Fei... who was helplessly ranked at the bottom.

Stayed.

This is actually not too surprising. Fei is a resident of a border village, and Ling is the child of a businessman. Although the couple is now in debt and has gone somewhere, Ling's education conditions are much better than Fei's.

, and Ling’s own talents are also outstanding, so it is normal to have this difference.

Of course, in addition to studying, the four girls will also undergo combat training. Because they were kidnapped by the cult, they can understand the importance of protecting themselves better than ordinary children, so the four girls also have

No effort is spared. However, each of them has different goals.

Fei plans to become a guerrilla in the future, perhaps because her hometown was destroyed by the Chasseur Regiment. Fei hates the Chasseur Regiment so much that she wants to become a guerrilla as an opponent of the Chasseur Regiment. The weapons Fei uses are given to her by Fang Zheng

Dual Funeral Blades.

Enaya's thoughts are exactly the opposite of Fei's. The fourteen-year-old Enaya is more mature and thinks more. She also knows that guerrillas are restricted by various rules and regulations, and Samria

There is generally no death penalty in the mainland, and even those who commit the most serious crimes are usually imprisoned. Therefore, Enaya hopes to learn from Fang Zheng and become a killer to eliminate those high-ranking officials and nobles who do all kinds of evil.

It's just that Enaya prefers long-range attacks to melee combat, so she is currently mainly training in archery - Fang Zheng gave her a Simon's bow blade, which is also a pretty good weapon.

As for Ling, she prefers to stay at home. Perhaps it is because the previous kidnapping incident of the religious group has brought too much psychological shadow to her. Now Ling feels to Fang Zheng that she is developing like a stay-at-home girl. And with Fei and Onna

Compared with Ya, Ling's performance is more comprehensive. She is not only good at melee combat, but also very good at channeling magic - so the little guy is really a genius.

As for weapons...the weapon Ling used was a sickle, so Fang Zheng also gave her a funeral blade as a gift.

And Anjie admired Fang Zheng, so she completely learned Fang Zheng's fighting style. However, it was impossible for a little girl to hold a big sword, so she had to use a short sword and a spear instead. What Fang Zheng gave to An Jie was an Evelin.

Spear. But Anjie does not intend to be a killer or a guerrilla, but prefers to serve Fang Zheng as a maid.

Just like now, I saw a blue-haired girl in a maid uniform carrying a pot of tea and walking up to Fang Zheng again.

"Mr. Fangzheng, do you really don't need us to distribute leaflets?"

"Yes, big brother, it's not interesting at all that the store is deserted, even though those things are so fun!"

Ling also ran over at this moment, grabbed Fang Zheng's arm and shook it. Unlike other Guoli stores, Fang Zheng's Starlight Technology focuses on entertainment high-tech products. In addition to the "Little Overlord" placed in the window counter, there are also other products on the wall.

There was also a row of interesting-looking rectangular boxes on the side.

Naturally, these little girls have tried it and given quite good reviews. In their opinion, Founder’s products will definitely become a hit.

But there hasn’t been a single customer since the store opened its doors all morning...

"You don't have to worry about things in the store."

Fang Zheng touched Ling's little head and smiled slightly at Anjie.

"I have my own plans, and wouldn't it be nice to be a little quieter?"

"I also like to be quiet, but what if big brother can't make money like this?"

Perhaps because of the experience of being taken around by her parents to avoid debtors, Ling is now extremely sensitive to this aspect, fearing that Fang Zheng will also create some kind of debt like her parents and then... and then become the same as before.

Already.

"It's impossible not to make money. Don't worry, little one. I promise you it won't be a problem."

Fang Zheng reached out and pinched Ling's face gently, while the latter looked at him uneasily.

"Really? Brother, don't lie to me like my parents did. They always told me that it was fine and nothing happened, but I'm not a fool... I know they owe others money and they can't afford it.

, that’s why you left me…”

After saying this, Ling's expression became depressed again. Although she was very smart, it was still a thorn in Ling's heart that her parents left her to others. She even wondered if it was because it cost a lot of money to take care of herself, and her parents could no longer support her.

He fell in love with her, so he left her to others to take care of.

"Of course I know you are not a little fool, you are very smart, so I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, just watch. It won't be long before this place becomes lively. I promise you."

Fang Zheng pinched Ling's cheek again and sighed inwardly. Being kidnapped by the cult had too much mental damage on Ling, although he told Ling more than once that her parents did not abandon her, they were just trying to make money.

Pay off the debt, and they will take Ling back when the debt is repaid.

However, Ling just stared at Fang Zheng and then asked.

"But didn't mom and dad throw Ling away just because they thought she was a burden?"

Fang Zheng had nothing to say about this, because what Ling said was indeed true. The Harolds did leave her to others to take care of because they had to work hard to pay off debts and had no time or energy to take care of their daughter. In a sense,

, Ling is indeed a burden.

This is a mistake that adults often make. They think that children don’t understand anything and they can explain it to them slowly later. But in fact, children actually understand everything. They often remain silent just because they are too young. Even if they understand

I can't do anything about what happened or don't know what to do, so I can only passively accept the arrangements of my parents.

But this does not mean that those children do not have their own ideas.

Of course, from a rational point of view, what the Harolds did was not wrong, because they had to make money to pay off their debts, and it was really inconvenient to bring a six-year-old girl, and it would be even worse if she got sick due to poor care.

It's troublesome, so entrusting it to an acquaintance is obviously a very wise choice.

However, the problem is that people have feelings, not just AI that can make rational thinking and choices.

Nanoye and Feite also had this problem. Nanoye once told Fang Zheng that her father was seriously injured once when she was young. At that time, everyone was either busy taking care of her father or busy with things in the restaurant. Naye was busy every day at that time.

Staying alone at home, although everything returned to normal after that, the horrific memory of that time was difficult for Nanoha to forget.

The same goes for Fit. Although she has reconciled with Precia now, due to Precia's temporary pleasure, Fit is still unable to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Precia. She will always worry about Precia.

Does Ya really love herself? Or is she kind to herself because of Alicia's sake? Or does she just want to atone for her sins?

This is a thorn in Feite's heart, so she would rather run to Tiandao Palace every day than rarely go back to face Precia. The occasional face-to-face conversation feels like both parties are having awkward conversations, and the atmosphere is boring to death.

Same.

Therefore, childhood shadows are something that almost always accompanies one's life.

The same is true for Ling. Although she understands her parents' thoughts, she won't just accept it. In Ling's view, she has worked very hard and is very obedient. Every day, her parents go out early, and Ling stays at home alone.

She didn't make any noise and didn't cause trouble to her parents, but her parents still gave Ling to others, and when Ling needed help the most, her parents didn't come to help her.

Is Ling really just a burden to them?

This is also Ling's psychological shadow, and because of this, she is unwilling to go back.

There is no reason to talk about emotional issues.

"Jingle Bell……………"

At this moment, with the sound of the doorbell, the door of the workshop opened, and then, a petite figure walked in.

It was a girl who looked about the same age as Ling. She had blond hair, wore a red hat, a jumpsuit and leather boots, and was carrying a big bag. She looked quite lively and cute.

"Brother, Ling is going to the back to train first."

Seeing the guests coming, Ling hurriedly let go of Fang Zheng's arm, whispered something in his ear, and then left quickly. Anjie bowed slightly to Fang Zheng, put the teapot next to her, and then

He followed Ling and disappeared through the back door.

"It's actually okay for you to stay..."

Looking at the disappearing figures of the two, Fang Zheng sighed silently. These children were very well-behaved, cute, and smart and obedient, but they just didn't want to play with other children. Fang Zheng also tried to get Ling, the others, and Chase to

The children mingled, but they seemed unwilling to do so.
