Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

Chen Ming himself looked at the attacker holding the magic wand.

After his leg was pierced by a tungsten alloy bullet and he fell to the ground, he was also tied up by an electric net that fell from the sky.

However, when Chen Ming looked carefully, he found that the attacker holding the magic wand was also dead.

What's happening here?

Even though the tungsten alloy bullet caused serious damage to his thigh, he wouldn't die so quickly, right?

At least there should be time for interrogation!

"I'm sorry! Master, I failed to complete the mission of capturing him alive. According to the blood test, the target must have died of poisoning."

[Crimson] The voice of apology came from the headset.

"No need to apologize. He probably originally planned to commit suicide after being caught by the enemy..."

Chen Ming waved his hand and didn't mind at all.

Anyway, he already knew the identity of the mastermind, so it was no longer important for him to be alive.

On the other side, Mahe came over with her parents and expressed her sincere gratitude to Chen Ming.

[Ding, Maho's favorability increased by 10, currently at 70!]

After thanking them, Maya looked at the bodies of the attackers and asked in confusion, "...The armor and magic robes of these assassins are engraved with the family crest of Count Olena's family. Moreover, I recognize this face. It is Count Olena himself. Why would he do such a thing?"

Maho followed her father's line of thought and felt a bit suspicious. "Would the head of the Earl's family do such a thing? But he's so stupid. He's willing to kill himself to conceal the information, and yet he comes here wearing armor with the family crest. He's not hiding anything at all."

"They must be controlled by the Snake Demon Clan!"

Chen Ming, who knew the truth, did not keep the audience in suspense. He simply told the information that the protagonist in the original novel had spent a long time to find out, in a casual manner.

"I see!"

Mahe's family of three suddenly understood.

They believed what Chen Ming said without a doubt.

Originally, Maya thought that these attackers were sent by the people behind the four bandit gangs last time to seek revenge.

After using fire magic to dispose of the corpse.

Chen Ming took Ma He to send her parents home, and then used [Teleportation] to return to the Banshan Manor.

……

The next day, Tia Viconi arrived at the Hillside Manor in a carriage.

After explaining the purpose of my visit to the maid who was guarding the gate,

Tia noticed that the little maid picked up a small cube and said a few words.

Soon, a strange iron box drove out from the interior of the manor - because the villa was quite a distance away from the manor gate, it took more than ten minutes to walk, so the infrastructure maniac [Crimson] built a road suitable for driving.

Tia looked at the iron box curiously. It was very large, almost as big as a luxury carriage.

The smooth and tough outline clearly does not look like a natural creation.

And logically speaking, such a large metal box should be extremely heavy, but its movement trajectory is quite smooth.

After a while, the iron box arrived at the gate of the manor.

"It seems this is how my aunt greets me."

Tia sighed to herself.

On the side of the iron box, there were a few large, gilded characters spray-painted: [Welcome my lovely niece, Tia, to come and play!]

After the iron box stopped, a little girl who looked to be in her teens with long silver hair reaching her waist walked out of the iron box.

Then she looked at Tia and smiled happily, "You are finally here, my lovely little niece."

Tia hugged her excitedly and said, "Aunt Ailish, your appearance hasn't changed at all in these seven years."

This is indeed the case. Although Ai Lisi is 25 years old now, she looks only 15 years old.

This is the effect of the D-rank skill [Anti-Aging] passed down from generation to generation by the women of the Viconi family.

The same goes for the protagonist Lu Ge's mother, Aisli.

The third volume of the original novel describes this: "Perhaps because I was becoming more and more like my father, my mother was pleased and hugged me even tighter, pressing her breasts against my face. Because I wasn't quite as busty, it wasn't quite as comfortable." Honestly, my mother and Tia are very similar, which is probably the case with Vacconi's bloodline. My mother is so young it's hard to imagine her actual age. Tia will surely remain youthful and beautiful, and her breasts, in contrast, will probably remain small and adorable...

The animation is just for the purpose of distinction, so the drawing is much larger.

After releasing her embrace, Ai Lisi smiled and invited Tia to get in the car.

"This is the car your uncle materialized. Once it's fully charged, it can carry everyone for thousands of kilometers..." She paused briefly and continued, "And the car's seats are very soft, much more comfortable than riding in a carriage."

"Wow, this is really comfortable to sit on!"

Tia was very curious about this unprecedented thing. As she got into the car, she asked, "Auntie Ailish, what is charging?"

"Pfft~"

Thinking of how Chen Ming often used "charging" to refer to something, Ai Lixi couldn't help laughing out loud.

But she knew that Tia really didn't understand and was not driving.

So Alisi coughed dryly and explained seriously: "There are two charging modes here in the Half Mountain Manor. Charging the car is equivalent to replenishing the magic power of the magic tool..."

"Oh, I see! What about the other one?"

Tia was like a curious baby, innocently and humbly asking for advice.

"The other is to recharge people...you'll understand this when you grow up."

Elise was too embarrassed to explain it in detail, so she just brushed it off in one sentence.

However, she underestimated Tia's intelligence.

"Is charging someone the same as replenishing their magic power?"

Tia began to think about it: "Hmm...but how can I do something like that?"

"Coordinating the wavelengths of both parties' magic power is technically difficult, but not impossible... Even with my precise control of magic power, I'll lose about 20%. Direct contact is necessary... to increase transmission efficiency while preventing the magic power that's been so painstakingly coordinated from escaping. I guess this is the only way, mucous membrane contact is the easiest way to transfer magic power... In other words, it's the legendary 'kiss'!"

"Well, Aunt Ellish, it seems like you and your uncle have a very good relationship."

Just by mentioning the replenishment of magic power, she figured out a lot of information.

Tia is so scary.

As expected, she is the female character with the highest IQ in the original novel, and is born with the B-level skill [Genius]!

Although Tia didn't guess everything correctly, Alisi blushed and immediately changed the subject:

"Ahem, close the door, hold on to the handrail, I'm going to drive!"

After she finished speaking, she stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel sharply, and drove towards the villa.

Chapter 126: A Special Gift

Tia only felt a slight vibration in the car seat, and the car slid into the hillside manor. She leaned out of the car window and looked at the villa and two high-rise buildings in the distance - the architectural style here was obviously different from other places, and it was full of metallic feel.

It was exactly as my aunt said in the letter!

Thinking of this, she was full of anticipation for the upcoming vacation.

Soon, the car stopped at the gate of Villa No. 2.

Tia opened the car door and jumped out, leaning against the car and breathing heavily.

Ai Lixi hurried over and patted her on the back, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a little... dizzy."

"Take a few deep breaths and you'll feel better. Dizziness is normal," Ai Lixi said with a smile. "Many people feel uncomfortable when riding in a car for the first time."

"Yeah, I'm better."

Tia nodded and looked around. Judging from the size alone, the villa was small and remote, less than one-third the size of the Viconi family castle.

However, there are many maids working here, and they all look very healthy! The maid uniforms they wear are made of very silky and high-end fabrics.

This shows that my uncle is really rich, as he can afford to have so many maids!

At least the Vicone family couldn't do it—not only was the number of maids far less than here, but even the maids' living standards were far behind.

As Tia observed carefully,

Suddenly, a series of roars sounded, and Tia, who was caught off guard, was frightened. She instantly huddled in Aunt Ellish's arms, cautiously revealing half of her head and asked, "What happened?"

Ai Lixi couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, this is a salute arranged by your uncle to welcome you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Ming walked out of the villa.

Tia finally met the husband whom her aunt had repeatedly praised in her letters.

His distinctive features were black hair and black eyes, which were rare. Ordinary people in this world had hair of various colors, and pure black hair was quite rare.

In addition, he did not have any extra pendants on his body, and his expression looked relaxed and natural.

Although her appearance was ordinary and not as pleasing as Aunt Ellis, she had a calm and confident temperament. Just by standing there, she could attract the attention of all the girls in the manor.

"Welcome to Banshan Manor. I am the owner here, Chen Ming. I believe my niece already knows my name."

As he spoke, Chen Ming used the system's identification function on her:

Name: Tia Vacconi

【Age】：10

Height: 135cm (growing)

【Weight】: 32kg (growing...)

【Overall appearance】: 94 (growing...)

【Power Bank】：0

【Status】: Genius, anti-aging.

[Favorability]: 10

Well, well, well, she is worthy of being the first female lead in the original novel. She is still in the growth stage, but her appearance is as high as 94 points. How beautiful will her appearance be in her complete state?

Thinking of this, Chen Ming continued with a smile, "Alice is my wife, so my little niece, you don't need to feel restrained. Just treat the manor as your own home... There will be a sumptuous dinner tonight as your official welcome gift to Banshan Manor. Enjoy it."

After saying that, Chen Ming disappeared from the spot - it was enough to leave a good impression on the first meeting, and he couldn't appear too eager, or he would scare the girl away!

This strategy is absolutely correct.

His departure made Tia feel relieved.

Although she had a good impression of her uncle Chen Ming, this could be seen from the fact that she had a 10-point favorable impression of him when they met.

But after all, it was the first time we met, and prolonged contact would still create pressure.

In comparison, it was easier to get along with Aunt Ellish.

"Come on, I'll take you to your room to put your luggage."

As Chen Ming teleported away, Ai Lixi smiled and took Dia's sweaty hand: "By the way, take a shower and change clothes to wash away the dust and fatigue of the journey."

"aunt!!!"

"what happened?"

"My uncle just disappeared in a split second!"

"That's the S-rank skill Teleportation that the Goddess bestowed upon your uncle. Didn't I tell you in the letter that he's deeply favored by the Goddess?"

Tia finally calmed down after hearing this. It turned out to be an S-level skill bestowed by the goddess. No wonder it was stronger than the 100 kinds of magic that a magician could learn!

This is how the world is. It seems that any unreasonable thing will instantly become reasonable when the goddess is mentioned...

Tia, who had calmed down, was pulled upstairs by Aunt Ellis.

"Let me first familiarize you with the furniture in the room."

As she spoke, Elise pushed open the oak door of a guest bedroom and began to introduce:

"This is a magic box that makes its own ice."

A 2-meter-high refrigerator stands in front of the starry sky wallpaper, with frost runes etched on the door panel.
