Chapter 3: Ahead of Peers
Sometimes Shen Qiangwei would help Zhang Chaoqiang read, write and count, although she didn’t know many words.

From some early education textbooks and television, Zhang Chaoqiang learned that the most popular and sought-after profession in this world is warrior.

From primary school to university, there will be diversion into liberal arts and military subjects.

Martial arts students who reach a certain level can be assessed as warriors and become official warriors after graduation.

Warriors usually join monster hunting organizations to earn generous wages, but they can also go to battlefields or secret places to hunt monsters on their own.

Every part of the monster is of considerable value, and if you have a kill certificate, you can also go to the official monster fighting organization to receive bonus rewards.

However, the graduation rate of martial arts majors is pitifully low, with the number of new martial artists each year accounting for less than one-tenth of all martial arts major students.

People like Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong basically dropped out of junior high school and have tattoos on their bodies. They are basically at the bottom of society and can't find any good jobs.

Sometimes Zhang Chaoqiang could feel Shen Qiangwei's emotions. A woman with tattoos all over her body walking on the street holding a baby would sometimes attract other people's attention.

The careless yet careful parents seemed to realize that their son had a strong learning ability.

When Zhang Huolong saw that Zhang Chaoqiang was crawling very fast, he took him to the children's playground in the nearby Tiantian Shopping Mall.

It's the kind of amusement park with a whole large air cushion where children can play.

Zhang Chaoqiang hid aside, stood up and leaned against the air cushion wall.

He hoped his father would understand that there were children of five or six years old playing and fighting here. How could it be appropriate for him, a child who was a head shorter than the others and had just learned to walk, to play with them?

Zhang Huolong is also very carefree.

[Toddler]: Walk 50 kilometers, physical limit +2
[Reading Level 1]: Read 100 million words, mental limit +2
Most of the time, Zhang Chaoqiang would just walk alone to find a safe place, holding a basic children's book in his hands.

"Fire Dragon!"

Shen Qiangwei rushed over from the other end of the mall and told Zhang Huolong that a baby walking competition was being held on the other side. Only babies under one year old were allowed to participate, and the prize was Sanli milk powder!

Sanli milk powder costs more than 500 yuan for a can. It is the best among milk powders, and even Zhang Chaoqiang has never tasted it.

"Super strong, super strong? Shall we go to participate in the walking contest?"

Zhang Chaoqiang nodded, thinking that he could finally drink 500ml milk powder!

At the Sanli Milk Powder advertising booth, a huge red cushion was laid on the ground. A group of parents stood at the finish line, waving bottles and toys in their hands, trying to attract the babies at the starting point to the finish line.

But Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei had nothing in their hands.

The parents standing by looked at the faintly visible tattoos on the two people's bodies and consciously kept their distance.

"start…"

The host announced the start of the show and the scene became noisy.

"Super strong, come here, Super strong..."

Zhang Huolong didn't need to shout much, Zhang Chaoqiang walked with a smooth yet awkward clacking posture, moving straight towards the finish line.

The other babies were still standing at the starting point stupidly.

"Cross the finish line!"

"My superpower is awesome!"

Zhang Chaoqiang was the first to cross the finish line. Parents looked at him with envy, but when they heard Shen Qiangwei's words to her son, they couldn't help but frown.

"It's true that children raised by energetic young men grow up early."

Shen Qiangwei held two cans of Sanli milk powder in her left hand and held Zhang Huolong's arm with her right hand. Zhang Huolong held Zhang Chaoqiang in his arms, and the family returned home happily.

As soon as he came back, Zhang Huolong couldn't wait to prepare the milk powder.

Oh, he has grown up and become sensible, Zhang Chaoqiang thought.

But unexpectedly, after the dad finished making the milk, he fed the first mouthful to Shen Qiangwei: "Qiangwei, try it. The 500 yuan milk powder must taste good."

"Sweet! Fire Dragon, try it..."

"Mm, it tastes pretty good!"

Zhang Chaoqiang was shocked: "..."

...At night, the two wanted to tell Zhang Chaoqiang a story, but the few children's books in the house had been read so many times that Zhang Chaoqiang could recite them backwards.

Shen Qiangwei rummaged through boxes and drawers: "Are there any other books?"

"found it!"

Love on Mars

When Zhang Huolong saw the notebook with the orange cover, he was instantly immersed in the memories of their love.

Zhang Chaoqiang curiously opened it:

Don't lie, I've always loved you~~~ I won't change, I'll swear to you, $mīle蔷.

I dream you can go back to that place and go to the streets you dreamed of.

I am so happy because of you. I am so sad after you left me.

...

"Fuck..."

It penetrated into Zhang Chaoqiang's brain like a plague. He didn't expect it to be this damn thing, and he screamed in his heart.

Achieve [Shamatte Martian Language]: Obtain [Primary Insight]: Enhance observation and perception, and the ability to capture details.

It is a perfect match when used in conjunction with [Survival Instinct].

Zhang Chaoqiang was forced by Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei to flip through the Martian book in front of him, and recall their previous love story.

Spirit, childish...

Zhang Huolong looked at his son lovingly and said to Shen Qiangwei, "Unconsciously, we have grown old. In the blink of an eye, we are 20 years old. The memories are so good. Chaoqiang, you have to grow up quickly, okay?"

Zhang Chaoqiang: “???”

What the hell, you are only 20 years old?
I am not even one year old yet... that is to say...

"Fuck..." Zhang Chaoqiang finally couldn't help it and uttered two words.

Shen Qiangwei: “???”

Zhang Huolong: “???”

"Chao Qiang spoke, haha, Chao Qiang just spoke!"

They forgot that Zhang Chaoqiang also said something when he was just born.

I was immediately immersed in the happiness and joy of Zhang Chaoqiang speaking.

Zhang Huolong thought: "Chao Qiang's first words will definitely be to call mom, because mom works very hard and loves him very much!"

Shen Qiangwei believes: "The first thing Chaoqiang would say is "Dad", because dad makes money to support the family, and it's tiring!"

But compared to his parents, what surprised them the most was that Zhang Chaoqiang said the word "wow".

"Come on, super strong, say it again, I'm ready to record a video, it will definitely go viral if I post it on Douyin!"

Zhang Huolong immediately opened the familiar camera and turned the beauty filter to the maximum. He first took a picture of himself touching his hair, sticking out his tongue, and giving the thumbs-up gesture.

"You're really good at taking photos!"

"Oh, sorry. I triggered the combo. I'm used to it."

"Super strong, say it again in front of the camera!"

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't say "Fuck" again, but shouted sharply: Mom and Dad.

"Hey!"

The two were overjoyed and recorded this moment.

At the same time, after seven months, [language ability] was finally filled.

Spirit +0.2, learning ability improved.
