“Xu Mo, Yao`er, it’s time to wake up.” Early in the morning, Mia knocked on the door before pushing it open. She saw that Xu Mo didn’t sleep. Rather, he closed his eyes and sat there.
When Xu Mo opened his eyes, she could see that they were glowing with spirit, as though there was a hint of strange light shining within.
At the same time, a beautiful figure appeared in Xu Mo’s vision. Mia’s skin was very fair. She was clad in a frock, and her eyes were clear and bright. Her eyelashes were very long and when she smiled, she radiated flawless innocence, very comfortable to the eye.
However, Xu Mo merely took a glance before closing his eyes again. He seemed to have seen a place that he shouldn’t see…
“What’s going on?” He shook his head and when he opened his eyes again, he couldn’t see through the frock anymore.
“What’s wrong?” Mia could see that Xu Mo’s reaction was somewhat strange.
“Nothing much. Miss Mia, you woke up so early,” Xu Mo smiled and spoke.
“Good morning. I made breakfast and the items for freshening up are all prepared. After you are done freshening up, you can eat breakfast with Yao`er. I have something on, so I have to head out first,” instructed Mia before closing the door and leaving.
After Mia left, Xu Mo drew in a deep breath as he sensed the changes in his body. He could faintly feel that he was different from before. Not only on the mental level, but his body constitution was also changing. When he clenched his hands, he could clearly feel some of the changes.
“Earlier…” When Xu Mo recalled that scene earlier, he focused his mental energy on his eyes and glanced at his arm. A moment later, his sight penetrated his sleeves, and his bare skin entered his eyes. Evidently, what happened earlier wasn’t an illusion.
His eyes suddenly could see through things, but he couldn’t see through flesh.
X-ray?
But it probably wasn’t very strong yet. However, did this indicate that his eyes could release energy waves that had a penetrability nature?
“Elder brother.” Yao`er interrupted his chain of thoughts. She opened her eyes, which were laced with drowsiness, before sitting up and snuggling into Xu Mo’s embrace.
Xu Mo gently stroked Yao`er’s hair and rubbed her head as he sighed silently. Although he had inherited the identity of the original host, he still treated this little girl as his own younger sister. Other than the memories and emotions of the original host that influenced him, there was also presumably the innate pity he felt due to human nature.
“Elder Sister Mia has made us breakfast. Let’s go and eat it,” Xu Mo gently spoke.
“Mn.” Yao`er nodded lightly. After that, she climbed up and kissed Xu Mo’s face. She then wore her clothes and was so obedient that one would feel their hearts aching when looking at her.
Xu Mo looked at her as a smile appeared on his face. In the future, they would rely on each other to survive in this strange world!
After the two of them had freshened up, they ate breakfast and headed down. Since Miss Mia had gone out and Old Mister Batu hadn’t woken up yet, Xu Mo decided to bring Yao`er along as he watched the store.
“Elder Brother, will we be staying at Elder Sister Mia’s house in the future?” Yao`er lifted her head and innocently asked.
“Yao`er, you like this place?” Xu Mo asked.
“I like it. Yao`er is very fond of Elder Sister Mia. The breakfast is very delicious too.” Yao`er’s figure was small and skinny, yet her eyes were strangely bright. When she smiled, she truly looked innocent.
“Silly Yao`er.” Xu Mo felt a little heartache. In the past, they basically had no breakfast to eat. At most, their breakfast was simply compressed biscuits, and they even sometimes needed to split a compressed biscuit into two to share among themselves.
“In the future, Elder Brother will bring you to a large house to stay in, and we will be able to eat good meals every day.” Xu Mo smiled.
“Will the house be as big as Miss Mia’s house?” Yao`er asked.
“Even bigger.”
“Hehehehe…” Yao`er smiled in a silly manner. Her little mind was also filled with a trace of yearning for the future.
“Xu Mo, quickly come over and help me.” At this moment, a voice drifted over from afar. Xu Mo lifted his head and looked forward. It was only now that he discovered that Mia was carrying a large bunch of books with her. She almost couldn’t walk anymore.
Xu Mo quickly headed over, and Mia directly dropped all the books in her hands to Xu Mo. Evidently, her arms could no longer withstand their weight. Xu Mo tried his best to catch the majority of them. But even so, some books fell to the ground.
“My arms are aching so bad.” Mia shook her arms and smiled radiantly. After that, she squatted down to pick up the books that had fallen to the ground.
“Miss Mia, why did you buy so many books?” Xu Mo lowered his head and asked as he looked at Mia. The instant he lowered his head, a beautiful view entered his vision. He then shifted his gaze away while feeling a little embarrassed.
“I want to get you familiar with words. When you are bored, you can read these books.” Mia lifted her head and smiled. But when she saw Xu Mo’s reaction, she seemed to have realized something. She lowered her head for a look and instantly blushed. After that, she hurriedly carried the stack of books and stood up before walking forward.
“There are indeed many words I can’t recognize. Miss Mia, can you teach me?” Xu Mo asked. The original host of this body had never been to school before. In the Subterranean World, only very few people had the qualifications to attend school. In addition, the things they could learn were also pathetically few. If you wanted to be familiar with this world, doing so through books was undoubtedly one of the methods. He didn’t expect that Mia actually helped him with this.

“As long as you are willing, there’s naturally no problem on my end.” Mia turned her head and smiled. She wasn’t too bothered about what happened earlier. After all, in her eyes, Xu Mo was still very young. She bought the books because she wanted to distract Xu Mo from the matter of his parents’ death.
Xu Mo discovered that this world had many similarities with his previous world. The written language in this world had the shadow of the Chinese words, but they looked more simplified. In addition, Latin alphabets and Arabic numerals existed as well. The clock here was also 24 hours.
In fact, as Xu Mo read the books, he discovered that many terms here were the same as in his previous world.
This caused Xu Mo to suspect whether this was a civilization from another universe or a parallel world.
In the process of studying, Xu Mo discovered that his memory had become extremely strong. He guessed that some unknown changes must have happened to his brain region. His perception, memory, and calculation ability were enhanced quite a lot. It felt like his brain region was evolving.
This made Xu Mo feel even more curious about this unfamiliar world. At the same time, he also felt anticipation.
…
During these few days, Xu Mo was very hardworking. He would study while looking after the store during the day and practice the breathing art at night. When he had free time, he would also train his body. Regardless of his physical constitution or his mind, their quality far surpassed the old him. He could clearly sense this transformation, and even his aura had changed completely. Yao`er was also gradually adapting to their new life.
Xu Mo was reading today. Mia approached him from behind and when she saw the serious look on Xu Mo’s side face, she felt that Xu Mo was different from before. In the past, Xu Mo’s gaze was always dull, but right now, his eyes were deep and filled with spirit. It was like his entire person had completely changed.
“Xu Mo, did you grow taller?” Mia asked in a light voice.
“Miss Mia.” Xu Mo saw Mia smiling. “I didn’t notice you.”
“Let’s stand up and compare.” Mia laughed. She was 1.7 meters tall. In the past, Xu Mo was shorter by a little when compared to her.
“Alright.” Xu Mo nodded and stood before Mia. After that, Mia brought her hand up to their heads and tried comparing. They seemed to be of the same height now. Her bright and beautiful eyes revealed a surprised smile. “Xu Mo, you actually grew so much taller.”
Xu Mo actually neglected his growth. He didn’t expect that his height would also change.
“You are only 15, so you should still be able to grow. Very soon, you will be taller than me,” said Mia happily.
“Mia.” When they spoke, a voice drifted from outside the door. Mia and Xu Mo glanced outward only to see a horse carriage parked there. There was a coachman, and a beautiful young girl wearing a pure-white dress was seated on the carriage. Her hands were even covered with thin translucent white-colored gloves. Clearly, she was elegant and exuded a sense of nobility.
“Elsa.” Mia smiled and called out.
“I wish to walk around west street. Mia, do you want to go together?” Elsa invited.
Mia cast a glance at Xu Mo and asked, “Xu Mo, are you interested?”
Xu Mo shook his head and didn’t look at Elsa. Rather, his gaze was focused on a figure further away. That person wore a singlet and long pants, revealing the sculpted lines of his sturdy and muscular body. He had a herculean physique, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. This should be a demeanor he cultivated from being in a certain environment for a long time. With just a glance, Xu Mo could tell that this guy was a tough character.
It was one of the thugs who had barged into his home that day.
“Elsa, I will take a rain check on that,” replied Mia while laughing.
“Sure, I will invite you again next time.” Elsa cast a glance at Xu Mo, not understanding why Mia needed to seek his opinion. The carriage then slowly drove forward and left the area. After that, the thug wearing the singlet walked in front of the carriage at a very fast pace.
“Miss Mia, I wish to take a trip out. Can you look after Yao`er for me?” Xu Mo looked at Mia and said.
“Naturally.” Mia nodded. “Where do you want to go?”
“I saw someone familiar,” Xu Mo replied.
“Go on then. Leave Yao`er to me.” Mia smiled. Xu Mo then headed out and moved in the direction where the thug was heading. Using his powerful vision, even if he maintained the same amount of distance between them, he could still easily follow that thug.
The pace of the thug was very quick, so Xu Mo maintained the same speed. This lasted for roughly 20 minutes before the thug turned and entered a district.
Xu Mo cast a glance outside the district. At the end of the turn, there was a gate with the words ‘black market’ engraved on it!

The law and order of the world below were extremely chaotic. But on the surface, they still put on a facade and followed the rules to maintain order.
But in the black market, there were no rules at all. It was a paradise for criminals, most of whom were engaged in illegal transactions.
Xu Mo’s perception flowed forth. After that, he also lowered his head and entered the black market with no hesitation at all.
After he entered, Elsa’s carriage slowly drove over, and she cast a look inside. Elsa felt somewhat strange and mused about whether she should tell Mia about this or not.
“If there’s a chance to, I better remind Mia.” Elsa silently mused as the carriage drove past.
