255: Chapter 255 Jiang Wawa Kneads Mud, Level 5 Life

"Waa waa waa!"

In the darkness, Jiang Chen made a swift cut, and the cry of a baby girl suddenly rang out across the island.

Jiang Chen held the baby girl, weighed her, and then happily said to Xue Yao, "My dear, this child is thirty jin at birth; she will definitely be a big, chubby girl in the future."

"Thirty jin... damn!"

Xue Yao took her, felt her form—she wasn't big, but she was heavy.

Clearly, this child's density was greater than a normal person's.

"She is a bit heavy, but being a little chubby is good; she's tough and sturdy, suitable for raising."

"Right, she doesn't have a name yet."

Jiang Chen checked Xue Yao's belly and found there was only one child in this litter, so he prepared to name his third daughter.

Xue Yao leaned back against the small fishing boat and said, resting, "This child is so chubby, why not call her Jiang Pangpang?"

"That doesn't seem right. I feel like if she grows up with that name, she'll resent us to death," Jiang Chen laughed. As a father, he didn't mind his third daughter being a bit chubby because she was his own flesh and blood.

But he had to consider the child's self-esteem.

If he really named her Jiang Pangpang, it would be cute, but she might not be happy.

Xue Yao tilted her head: "That makes sense, but I don't have any other ideas for now. Do you?"

After all, as a woman who had just given birth, it was good enough that her intelligence hadn't dropped; she didn't have the energy to think about it, so she left the grand task of naming to Jiang Chen.

The names of Commander Jiang Qiuzhi and Jiang Haipeng had both been Jiang Chen's inspiration.

He figured the inspiration for the third daughter's name would also be good.

Jiang Chen pursed his lips and began to pace, holding his wailing third daughter. Listening to her loud cries, he suddenly said, "She's crying so loudly, why not call her Jiang Wawa!"

"Jiang Wawa, haha!" Xue Yao laughed loudly.

"The next one, we'll call Jiang Haha."

"Pfft! That's too sloppy. As long as you aren't worried about her beating you up when she grows up, I support it with both hands."

"Jiang Wawa, Jiang Wawa, do you like this name?"

Jiang Chen lowered his head and looked at his third daughter.

The third daughter paused her crying for a moment, then cried even louder, wailing non-stop.

Jiang Chen nodded; it seemed his daughter was very satisfied.

After all, children only use crying to express their emotions.

Crying so loudly, it seemed she really liked the name.

In the following days, Xue Yao continued to absorb water qi, evolving toward a Level 3 Lifeform.

Jiang Wawa was worthy of being the third child of Jiang Chen and Xue Yao.

In the past, Commander Jiang Qiuzhi could pull up a weeping willow by its roots in the first week, while Jiang Wawa learned to hunt ordinary exotic beasts on the second day.

As for breathing... she was born without lung function, but instead had a small Fusion Pill.

"So, the Fusion Pill can be inherited," Jiang Chen realized.

According to the original evolutionary route of humans, everyone defaulted to the Fusion Pill being the first characteristic of a life form stepping into a Level 2 Lifeform.

But now, Jiang Chen discovered that Jiang Wawa had a Fusion Pill even though her strength had not reached Level 2 Lifeform at all.

She didn't need to rely on oxygen to maintain her vital signs from birth.

And this ability, naturally, was because Jiang Chen and Xue Yao themselves had already reached Level 2 and Level 4.

"Since she inherited the Fusion Pill, she should be different from ordinary Earthlings."

"I wonder if her evolution speed will be a bit faster."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

As the saying goes, all beginnings are hard.

Starting from scratch is hard.

Founding a sect is hard.

Being a first-generation rich person is hard.

Jiang Chen had spent decades evolving an organ like the Fusion Pill that adapted to cosmic laws, but Jiang Wawa inherited it with just one genetic inheritance.

With a Fusion Pill from birth, she naturally wanted to evolve more easily.

To verify his idea, Jiang Chen checked what kind of qi Jiang Wawa was more adapted to.

The result was earth qi.

She had a natural affinity for earth qi.

Almost every moment, she was interacting with the earth qi between heaven and earth.

This earth qi would automatically refine her body and cleanse her body.

Just like how human infants on Earth have lungs to breathe, after Jiang Wawa had the Fusion Pill, she quickly adapted to the talent of absorbing surrounding earth qi.

In less than a week, Jiang Wawa's hand strength became extremely great.

Not to mention pulling up a weeping willow; at this time, she was running fast on the island with a three-ton boulder on her head, her legs moving like flying, not at all like an infant who was one week old and not yet weaned.

Jiang Chen sensed Jiang Wawa's direction and quickly followed, shouting from behind, "Slow down, slow down, don't fall!"

Jiang Chen said this, suddenly remembering the time when he drove the small fishing boat and took his eldest daughter flying everywhere.

She became mischievous after growing up.

It was better when the child was young.

Thump.

Just then, Jiang Wawa tripped, and the three-ton boulder landed on her, causing her to wail loudly.

Jiang Chen rushed over, moved the boulder, and threw it directly into the ocean. He laughed, "I told you to run slower. You didn't get hurt, did you?"

"Ah woo, it hurts here," Jiang Wawa said, pointing to her finger.

Although Jiang Chen couldn't see, he could sense whether the bones in Jiang Wawa's fingers were injured.

He rubbed it for her and found there was no fracture.

So he said, "It still works. Let's go home first."

Saying this, he brought her back to the vicinity of the small fishing boat.

At this time, Xue Yao had already finished her day of evolution.

She was grilling a Pang-style fish.

Although there were no green onions, ginger, or garlic, there was still a rich aroma of meat.

"Huh, how did you catch this Pang-style fish?"

Jiang Chen was a bit surprised.

Usually, it was Jiang Chen who went to catch exotic beasts to eat; he should have been able to sense them, but Xue Yao was still at Level 2 Lifeform and couldn't sense them.

Xue Yao smiled slightly. The Fusion Pill within her body glowed faintly, and water qi energy surged, causing the water matter on the ocean to vibrate as well.

In this vibration, a Level 2 exotic beast shrimp was stunned and thrown into the sky.

An electric current lashed out, and the exotic beast shrimp was charred instantly.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "My dear, have you evolved into a Level 3 Lifeform?"

It had only been a little over a month, and Xue Yao had actually transitioned directly from a Level 2 Lifeform to a Level 3 Lifeform.

You know, it took him about ten years to transition to a Level 3 Lifeform back then.

"There is no oxygen or other air components here; it's all qi. That is to say, each type of attribute qi has reached about twenty percent."

"And on Earth, half is air, and only the remaining half is qi."

"Just looking at the quantity, the qi here is at least twice that of Earth."

"As for the quality, not to mention that; Earth's qi concentration is unevenly distributed, mostly very thin, and contains many impurities. On the contrary, here, it is not only evenly distributed but also very dense, continuous, and pure, so it is naturally faster to absorb."

Jiang Chen listened and nodded in deep agreement. Earth's slow evolution had a lot to do with the environment. He couldn't help but say, "If only we could introduce the qi from here to Earth; the probability of Level 1 Life Forms would definitely increase significantly."

"Honey, you should hurry up and evolve too; I'll look after Wawa."

Xue Yao took Jiang Wawa. Because Jiang Wawa was born on this Shanhaijing Planet, even though she couldn't see light, she seemed to have inherited some sensing ability; in short, it was stronger than Xue Yao's sensing ability at Level 2 Lifeform.

"Okay," Jiang Chen nodded.

The reason Xue Yao made delicacies every day was purely to teach Wawa how to eat.

Although with evolution, some low-level eating methods were no longer needed.

But Jiang Chen would still teach her.

The language was the same; although this was the Shanhaijing Planet, Jiang Chen was still teaching her Chinese.

From time to time, he would strike stones together to create light, telling her that not every world was dark, and that Mom and Dad came from a world of light.

"Mom and Dad, when will you take me to that world of light?" Jiang Wawa asked during dinner.

She liked watching the phenomenon of stones emitting faint light when they struck each other.

This was a strange scene she had not seen since she was born.

However, in Jiang Chen's words, there was such a world where, every twelve hours, there would be twenty hours of daylight.

During this daytime, one could actually see this glowing phenomenon all the time.

Just thinking about it, Jiang Wawa felt it was too magical!

"Wait a little longer; I will definitely let you see the light," Jiang Chen replied.

This Earth Hexagram could only be opened once every six months.

He had to seize this opportunity that came every six months; otherwise, the next time would be half a year later.

"Okay!" Jiang Wawa said expectantly.

The next day, Jiang Chen entered an evolutionary state, and a large amount of Lightning Qi surged over.

Xue Yao began the child-rearing mode. Since she was also a Level 3 Lifeform, she could take Jiang Wawa running around the island; as long as they didn't run off the island or go too far into the ocean, it was safe.

If there really was a problem, they could still escape by taking the small fishing boat.

"She seems to run faster than before. If it weren't for the worry of getting too far from this island, she might be even faster."

Xue Yao noticed that those Terracotta Warriors seemed to be pulling more easily.

Before, when they encountered a thunderstorm in the Pacific Ocean, the pulling force of these Terracotta Warriors was limited.

But now, she didn't know if it was because there was so much qi here, but they seemed to be getting bigger and stronger.

"Strange, how can these clay people absorb qi?" Xue Yao was a bit puzzled. She had always thought that these Terracotta Warriors pulling Jiang Chen's boat were some kind of mecha.

It was just that their forms were a bit strange. After all, Jiang Chen used to be the general manager of the Heavenly Soldier Project.

There were all kinds of mechas: crab-shaped ones for transport, humanoid ones like Iron Pillar for combat, and even Thousand-Armed Guanyin-shaped operational mechas.

Having a clay-shaped one seemed quite normal.

But now, Xue Yao suddenly discovered that these things could actually absorb qi to strengthen themselves.

This was a bit strange; didn't the mechas use Controlled Nuclear Fusion? How were they playing with evolution?

While Xue Yao was puzzled, Jiang Wawa, who was beside her, seemed to sense her mother's confusion and said, "Mom, aren't these just clay people? I can mold them too."

"Ah? You can mold them too?" Xue Yao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

The clay molding her daughter was talking about must mean digging up mud at the edge of the island and molding it.

She smiled and said, "Is that so? Then you are very impressive. Can you mold one for Mom?"

"Of course I can."

The small fishing boat carried the two of them to the edge of the island, a place with plenty of mud.

Xue Yao held her daughter and went to the stones, where she sat down.

Jiang Wawa squatted down and began to scoop up mud.

In a while, Jiang Wawa had scooped up a lot of mud. She sat on the stones, and her little hands began to mold.

It had to be said that Jiang Wawa's manual creative ability was quite good.

Before long, she had molded a long worm.

She held up the mud worm and said to Xue Yao, "Mom, look, this is what I molded."

"Oh, not bad!" Xue Yao took it, sensed it, and laughed.

Jiang Wawa lowered her head and continued molding.

Not long after, she molded a round turtle.

It was just a bit rough; she couldn't mold the head, only the shell. She said, "Big turtle!"

As she said this, she put the turtle on the stones beside her and continued molding.

Crab, dragonfly, frog, lobster, crucian carp, butterfly—she molded all kinds of small animals with great delight.

It was just that their forms were very rough; they were all lumps.

However, she molded them very seriously, and with repeated practice, she molded them more and more detailed.

Especially when molding people; they had noses and eyes.

"Baby, time to go home. Come again tomorrow."

Xue Yao saw her daughter playing happily for a few hours and prepared to take her home.

Jiang Wawa scooped up a large handful of mud, piled it on the deck of the small fishing boat, and said, "I'll continue molding when we get home."

After returning home, Jiang Chen noticed a big lump of mud on the deck and asked curiously, "Why did you bring back so much mud?"

"It's the earth qi attribute; she naturally likes earth, so she just started molding clay figures," Xue Yao explained.

Jiang Chen suddenly realized. He watched his third daughter sitting on the deck, molding clay figures.

Before going to sleep, she excitedly said to Jiang Chen, "Dad, look, does this clay figure look like you?"

Jiang Chen sensed it. Although this clay figure was five centimeters tall, it really had a nose and eyes. It was just a bit ugly; otherwise, it would have been quite good-looking.

"Dad, do you like it? If you like it, I'll mold a few more for you," Jiang Wawa asked expectantly.

"I like it."

In the month after Jiang Chen said this, every day, three clay people would be molded by Jiang Wawa and placed next to Jiang Chen.

Unknowingly, a month passed, and there were already more than a hundred clay people next to Jiang Chen.

To avoid stepping on them, every time Jiang Chen finished evolving, he had to sense his surroundings, feeling constrained and afraid of crushing these clay people his daughter had molded.

Until one day! Jiang Chen sensed his surroundings and suddenly discovered a figure standing behind him that was as tall as himself.

He was startled, but after carefully sensing it, he realized it was a clay person his daughter had molded.

Looking at the hundreds of big and small clay people around, all set up like the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang, Jiang Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Why was his third daughter's hobby getting more and more off track?

"Molding more and more, more and more realistic, and the size is getting bigger and bigger," Jiang Chen felt a bit embarrassed.

If they were small clay people, that would be fine, but how were they getting bigger and more realistic?

Surrounded by so many clay people, it was like lying in an imperial mausoleum; it was very creepy.

"Forget it, I'll evolve to a Level 5 Lifeform sooner and take her back to Earth quickly," Jiang Chen shook his head.

Entertainment here was scarce; apart from playing with mud, she didn't seem to have anything else to play with.

So, Jiang Chen began to accelerate his evolution.

Month after month passed. About six months after Jiang Chen arrived on this planet, a burst of thunder suddenly exploded in the sky.

Jiang Chen only felt his body undergo a transformation, and the power within his body condensed.

A surge of impulse to tear something apart welled up in him.

So, he slashed fiercely at the void.

Under his sensing, the space was actually like a solid entity, and Jiang Chen tore an opening in it.

This opening was like an opening made in water when it was slapped.

Space and water had a similar property, which was tension, also called pulling force.

When water was unbalanced, such a pulling force would be generated, similar to a paper boat thrown into the water; it would move forward because an opening was made, and the water in front was pulling the paper boat, so the paper boat moved.

Space was the same. As Jiang Chen used his Level 5 Lifeform energy to tear at the void, an opening appeared.

After the opening appeared, the space in front generated a huge pulling force, instantly pulling Jiang Chen, who was in place, to another island a hundred miles away.
