Chapter 6: The Role of Plug-in

The warm sunlight in winter greatly comforted Little Shiba. He was leaning against the wall, basking in the sun, and breathing slightly.
The mountains in the distance meandered like dragons with gigantic ridges looming up like spikes on their backs. Scenery like this made him convinced that this place could not be Earth. How could it be possible that such towering peaks appeared on our planet?
Each of them was higher than 10,000 meters, which had never been seen before anywhere in the world.
Today, Little Shiba wore a brand-new cotton-padded jacket, which was the first new clothes he had received since his birth. He always wore his brothers' hand-me-downs, Boxer's or even Houndie's.
This year was quite different, Zhou Hua made new cotton-padded jackets for both of her younger brothers. Her life had been much better off than at home since she had gotten married.
Acknowledged as a man of profound capability, Wang Tianlei was not only known for his strength, but it was certainly the most outstanding part.
Wang Tianlei was shrewd. Having been back from the army for a few months, he became a natural leader of the hunters and won their admiration. Seeing this, Little Shiba thought of the heroes in online novels. In such novels, the hero traveled to a primitive society and led the villagers to live a better life. He calculated the number of prey in private and found that under Wang Tianlei's leadership, the number of prey had been five or six times greater than before. To his delight, they now got the chance to eat meat every few days. That was much better than before.
Wang Tianlei guided the hunters to sell their furs in Qingyang Market. Since they hunted more prey now, the number of beasts that they hunted was largely increasing too. Compared to their individual work in the past, they gained more. In the meantime, they had a higher standard of living.
A broad open space lay on the north side of the village, which was suitable for Wang Tianlei to teach the hunters to deploy some rough battle arrays and train them to interact with each other. As a result, for a few months, there were more gains and fewer casualties among the hunters. Actually, only several unlucky hunters were injured by their carelessness rather than by the beasts.
In Little Shiba's eyes, everything Wang Tianlei had done seemed like it was out of a pastoral time-travel novel in which the hero traveled to a primitive society. Sometimes he even thought that Wang Tianlei was a time-traveler like himself.
Having such a competent husband, Zhou Hua naturally lived a beatific and blissful life. It was especially true when she was carrying a baby; Wang Tianlei became more considerate and never asked her to do heavy work. To kill time, she began to make cotton-padded coats for her younger brothers. After all, she brought them up and shared a strong bond with them. In particular, Zhou Hua saw Little Shiba as her own, for he was clever and well-behaved as a child.
At times, Little Shiba frequently gate-crashed as well as sponged off his sister's food and drink, and, incidentally, would get something valuable from Wang Tianlei's mouth.
For a few months, he was completely immersed in the world of martial arts skills. Even the most superficial skills were enough for him to study for a long time.
His practice of Unusual Strength Qigong had encountered a bottleneck. A three-year-old boy, as expected, was not strong enough to hold too much Internal Qi.
Yet, he was too young to practice Dark Bear Fist.
However, recently, when he was practicing Taiji Fist, he accidentally discovered that Taiji seemed to have the function of strengthening the body.
The reason was that his strength was gradually building up.
It was similar to the practice of Dark Bear Fist, a skin-toughening punching skill, while the extent of increase was less obvious than Dark Bear Fist.
In fact, he felt that the increase in strength was from Unusual Strength Qigong rather than Taiji Fist.
