In a typical courtyard house, the main house is located directly opposite the gate, where the owner usually sleeps. However, Deng Yin did not follow the usual practice; she did not sleep in the main house!

Qiu Qingyu was a little embarrassed, but she still forced herself to stay composed. "It's been a long time. I wonder if you still remember me, young lady."

“I remember.” Deng Yin came out of the house and said, “You are the third beggar I have met who is willing to be my servant.”

Gao Ruizhe was delighted to see Qiu Qingyu get the short end of the stick. What made him even happier was that the person who made her get the short end of the stick was Deng Yin, as if she were the one standing up for him.

"Some people are just brainless," Gao Ruizhe said sarcastically as he walked up to Qiu Qingyu. "They even use the same tricks I've already learned."

"If I remember correctly, this was taught by Master Dong in the eighth lesson," Qiu Qingyu said with a smile. "When did it become your move?"

"You're so thick-skinned."

Gao Ruizhe knew he couldn't argue with her, so he simply stopped talking to her.

The child is young and doesn't understand, so let her off the hook.

Gao Ruizhe grinned and said to Deng Yin, "Gou Dan hasn't gotten up yet, so I'll make the cake for him with you first."

"Dog Egg?" Qiu Qingyu asked Deng Yin, "You keep a dog? How can you let a dog cook food meant for humans?"

The hangover soup Gao Ruizhe made wasn't very tasty, and it took Gou Dan a lot of effort to drink it all. Just as he came out, he heard Qiu Qingyu's words.

Although Gao Ruizhe was drunk yesterday, he still remembered everything that happened. For the sake of friendship, he forced himself not to laugh.

Feifei didn't laugh either. All he could think about was what kind of people Gou Dan's parents must be to give their child such a name.

I felt some sympathy for him.

Deng Yin had no more scruples. Qiu Qingyu saw her laughing so happily and the ashen-faced man who had just come out, and she knew what was going on.

"Uh..." Qiu Qingyu said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll have to go first. See you next time if there's a chance."

Qiu Qingyu moved with lightning speed, and Gou Dan's gaze remained fixed on her. Qiu Qingyu sensed it, but pretended not to notice.

They say a humble name makes a child easier to raise, but this is way too easy...

Noticing that Gou Dan was unhappy, Gao Ruizhe put his arm around his shoulder and comforted him, "She's mentally ill, don't take it to heart."

He only dared to say this when Qiu Qingyu wasn't around; if she were, he would definitely be beaten senseless.

Our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents, and so are our names. Now that Gou Dan's parents are dead, he can't change his name even if he wants to.

However, while he couldn't change his own name, Deng Yin could.

Once sold to a master, the master has the right to bestow a name upon the child.

Dog Egg said to Deng Yin sullenly, "I want to change my name. Give me one."

"Why?" Deng asked knowingly. "Don't you like this name?"

"do not like."

“But I like it.” The name was originally Deng’s doing, and she didn’t want to change it. “Besides, I think this name suits you very well, Dog Egg, it’s easy to remember.”

"Besides, this name was given to you by your parents, and they are no longer here. I don't want to take away the last trace of them that they left in you."

Isn't the system all about moral blackmail? Unfortunately, Deng Yin has no morals, so none of its methods have any effect.

Fortunately, the system has ethics, and Deng Yin decided to try to morally blackmail it.

Gou Dan felt ashamed upon hearing this. He had no recollection of the parents Deng Yin mentioned, but as she said, his parents were dead, and the only trace they left in the world was him.

If he changes his name, then his last impressions of his parents will also disappear from his memory along with his previous name.

"If I don't change my name, could you please stop calling me Dog Egg?" Dog Egg still couldn't convince himself to accept the name. He didn't understand before, but now that he knew it was a dog's name, he naturally refused to accept it no matter what.

"But if I don't call you Dog Egg, wouldn't that mean you've changed your name?" Deng Yin asked. "Could it be that you want to have two names, one to keep in your heart and the other as a code name so that others know how to call you?"

"Don't be silly. Only the name that everyone calls you by is your real name. No matter what your reason for hiding your real name, it means that you have to sever ties with the years when you were called by that name."

"Do you not want the name 'Dog Egg,' or do you not want all of your life before today?"

Deng Yin was simply using a fallacy of semantics, but Gou Dan was too naive; he actually believed him.

"I...I just don't want to share a name with a dog..."

"Then you should work hard! If you're good enough, even other people's dogs will have to change their names!" Deng Yin patted Gou Dan's shoulder and said seriously, "It is said that there was once an emperor of a country whose surname was Zhu. It's not the pig we eat, but it sounds the same. But he ordered all pigs to change their names, and no one's name could contain a character that sounds like Zhu."

"Do you understand? If you are powerful enough, you have the power to change everything in this world!"

Deng Yin spoke with such intonation that not only Gou Dan listened with great excitement, but Gao Ruizhe was also captivated.

She... knows so much...

Feifei's IQ was higher than the two of them combined, but he didn't realize anything was wrong.

If Deng Yin were to engage in pyramid schemes, he would definitely earn far more than selling cakes.

Moreover, with the added advantage of her status as a deity, it's not impossible for her to replace Cui Wuji as the new emperor.

"You're right!" Influenced by Deng Yin's words, Gou Dan stopped mentioning changing his name. "Since I can't change my name, then let all the dogs in the world change their names!"

"That's right." Deng Yin nodded with satisfaction. "The first step to conquering the world is learning to bake cakes. Today, I will formally pass on this skill to you!"

"it is good!"

Gao Ruizhe asked shyly, "What about me? Can I learn with him?"

“This…” Deng Yin sighed, and after a long silence, he finally spoke: “You know how important this craft is to me. I’m willing to do anything to make a name for myself.”

The strategy is to first suppress the praise, and then, after suppressing it, it's time to praise it.

Deng Yin seemed to have finally made up her mind. She patted Gao Ruizhe's shoulder forcefully and said, "Fine, I trust you. Even if you do pass on the secret recipe one day, it will be because I misjudged you."

Deng Yin made Gao Ruizhe and Gou Dan stand in a row. She wasn't tall enough, so she went back inside to bring out a stool.

Standing on a stool, Deng Yin placed his left hand on Gao Ruizhe's shoulder and his right hand on Gou Dan's shoulder, and solemnly said, "Today, I, Deng Yin, have decided to pass on my skill to the two of you. Are you confident you can learn it?!"

"Have!"

Last night, the two developed a tacit understanding and spoke almost at the same time.

"Louder, I can't hear you!"

"Yes!" (Very loud)
