Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

Lei Wuji was right. He really didn't want to be in charge of things, and he didn't even want to be an elder of the alliance.

But that was in the past. He now thinks this arrangement is pretty good.

They had been hanging out together since entering the academy, and in the eyes of the other families, their relationship had long been inseparable. And with someone secretly plotting against his brother, it was indeed necessary to expand the power of the alliance.

What's more, with these people here, to put it bluntly, he is just a freeloader, and anyone who disagrees is a fool.

Li Xingchen suddenly felt something warm in his heart. He felt lucky to have such a group of brothers around him.

Lei Wuji divided the alliance members into two groups, 10 in total, which rotated daily between going out and staying on duty. Li Xingchen took the opportunity to mention strengthening the defenses, and Lei Wuji and Zhang Xuanyi immediately began discussing how to optimize them.

A few people gathered around the fire, happily filled their stomachs, and implemented the policies one by one.

While going out to digest his food, Zhang Xuanyi added two more traps around his camp.

At the request of the 10-person group, Li Xingchen and Zero moved into Ren Jianfei's tent.

The main reason was that Zero's aura was too strong, making them feel uncomfortable. Little Black Craftsman was also quite clingy, and would come to disturb them early every morning, so they quickly asked the two giant Buddhas to leave.

After they moved out, Shadow One, Shadow Two, and three other orcs moved next door to them on the pretext of protecting their safety.

Not long after, Ouyang Siyu and Zhang Xuanyi also moved out separately, saying that their cousin had a bad sleeping posture.

My cousin scratched his head in embarrassment. In the past, he was either training or taking care of his younger brothers during the day, which kept him busy all the time. At night, he basically fell asleep as soon as he lay down. He didn't know how bad his sleeping posture was, but judging from the two very obvious dark circles on his cousin's face, his sleeping posture might really be bad.

The remaining four people looked at each other as they looked at the big tent with half of its people missing. My cousin quietly took out a deck of cards from the space in his watch.

"Wuji, do you want to play cards? Whoever loses the most will stay tomorrow."

It's a rare time without training, it's time to relax.

Li Xingchen and Zero were used to working together, so Lei Wuji assigned the other two people and three beasts to Li Xingchen for everyone's convenience, and they were not included in the 10 groups. The remaining people would take turns leading the team.

Lei Wuji: "No."

Cousin: "I know you're going to be the head of the family in the future, but you don't have to be so rigid at such a young age. You need a balance between work and rest. Are you really not coming?"

Lei Wuji: "Teacher Ren said that the border is full of dangers and someone may attack the camp at any time. It is better not to relax."

The other two said, "Okay, then Brother Lei, you keep an eye on us. The three of us will play for a while. I'll go roast some potatoes... Let's play Landlord with the three of us."

Lei Wuji: ...

Knowing that these people had been holding back their tempers for a long time because of Li Xingchen and Zero's presence, the usually steady Lei Wuji decided to let them indulge themselves for once.

Thinking about this, he opened his watch and looked at the border map.

Not long after, A Wang lifted the curtain and came in.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

Lei Wuji nodded, "Xingchen asked you to come with us. The tent was crowded before, but now they have moved out. There is enough space here, so you can live with us from now on."

Ah Wang nodded in response and turned to look at the three people who were arguing beside him.

Lei Wuyi just turned around and said, "Awang, do you want to play cards?"

Li Xingchen and his brother tidied up the tent briefly and made a special place for Xiao Hei to rest. Meiqiu and Jiangjiang, now small, huddled on Xiao Hei.

Li Xingchen looked at the two sleeping bags put together on the floor and felt that they looked pleasing to the eye.

Tonight he can sleep with his brother in his arms again in broad daylight.

Li Xingchen happily went in and clicked on the file sent by Lin Yin, while Zero was looking up information about the border city.

The folder contained some photos of the laboratory. All the information related to the laboratory back then had been hidden. Li Xingchen couldn't find it online, so he had to ask Lin Yin for help.

Looking at the first aerial photo of the building, Li Xingchen recognized it at a glance. It was definitely this place.

He recognized it because his brother had held him on the roof to see the scenery there.

The next picture shows a foggy object inside a glass cylinder, with a line of small words underneath: XX laboratory discovered a new energy body.

The next picture shows a row of robots the size of six or seven-year-old children, made entirely of metal. Perhaps because of the different materials, they come in a variety of colors, including silver, black, gold, and copper, and they all have many tubes connected to their backs.

I think these are all experimental subjects.

Li Xingchen focused his attention on the two black mechanical children on the left. From the photo, one could only see a cold metallic luster, and their eyebrows, eyes, and facial features were not very obvious.

Zero took a quick glance and happened to see Li Xingchen's gentle and focused expression. His heart suddenly tightened and he asked, "What is Xingchen looking at?"

Li Xingchen pulled the display towards Zero, his eyes still fixed on him. "Which one is the older brother?"

The voice that answered was emotionless, "Neither."

"Oh..." Li Xingchen was a little disappointed. He thought he had seen his brother's creative process.

"Those are just ordinary materials."

Number Zero stretched out a hand and placed it in Li Xingchen's palm.

Li Xingchen held it and lowered his head.

The originally white palm in his hand slowly turned into a black metallic texture.

Li Xingchen touched it and felt the black metal soften from hard. He poked it and the black metal on his hand deformed slightly with his touch.

At this time, the coal ball also bounced and bounced over, staring at the hand seriously with its two green eyes.

Zero glanced at it and opened his palm.

The coal ball bounced up immediately, and then Li Xingchen watched the coal ball turn into black particles and melt in his brother's hand, disappearing.

Li Xingchen turned and looked at his brother with wide eyes.

He said that he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity when he saw the coal balls deformed last time.

Zero looked back tenderly.

Li Xingchen blinked, "Coal balls?"

Zero nodded and said, "My material is the best. It can split freely."

Li Xingchen didn't understand why his brother suddenly mentioned the material, but he still praised it from the bottom of his heart: "It's really amazing!"

He blushed slightly, thinking about how the coal balls would sometimes flatten into pancakes and stick to his chest and back...

Li Xingchen turned his head back and lowered his head to pinch his brother's fingers.

Maybe I was absent-minded, and my fingers turned into powder when I pinched them.

Li Xingchen was startled and immediately held his brother's hand to check, "Did I use too much force just now?"

"No." Soon, a new coal ball condensed on the powdered fingertips, and Zero's finger returned to its original state.

The coal ball bounced again and again, bounced back, and nestled into Xiao Hei's hair.

"It draws energy from me." Zero explained.

"Ah... so that's it. It's charging."

"Charging, that's fine too."
