Pretending To Be A Boss

The things children do naturally require no attention, so that's why Uncle Tang Jing and Uncle Song Que, who aren't very smart, are here to accompany us.

So on this day, in the library, after Tang Xiaoshi helped Tang Xiaojiu finish his homework, Tang Jian said:

"Shall we do something big?"

"What big thing?"

"Something adults do, and we call it a big thing."

"Brother, speak human words."

"Isn't Dad investigating the new Beast God? Actually, I previously extracted some information from Uncle Song Que. There are many fortresses outside, and the resources in these fortresses are used for future city construction of humans. Among them, there's one fortress in the sky, which has nearly infinite energy and contains weapons Dad once used."

"So are we going to look for that fortress? But isn't it far away? If we're gone too long, we'll be discovered, right?"

"No! Think about it, although Dad said the transfer rift technology has stopped, that's regarding the mining world. The huge Pyramid fortress is thousands of meters high, how would the massive resources be transported? Especially when the fortress is so far from the city, so I suspect the transfer rift technology hasn't been abandoned; it has instead been improved, and every fortress should have established transfer points."

"Exactly, if Dad encounters an enemy he can't handle in the future, he certainly can't return to that sky fortress on foot, right? So there must be some shortcut."

"And the shortcut is with those two fools, Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen. There's no reason what they can learn we can't learn, but creating a transfer portal requires resources and manpower, which is unrealistic for us to do on our own."

"Then we'll just have to steal it. Once we master the usage of portable transfer rifts, we'll go and steal the portable transfer rift with the coordinates of the corresponding fortress!"

"Yes, then we'll infiltrate that fortress in the sky, find the weapons Dad hid there years ago! Head to the mining area and accomplish something big!"

"The problem is, what about Uncle Tang?"

"He's simple-minded, we'll just weave a lie to trick him into it."

"But brother, if we do this, will Dad and Mom really be happy?"

"They will... probably?" Tang Jian wasn't very certain.

But children always do things without restraint.

They began discussing plans, formulating strategies.

It's worth noting that although alone Tang Jian and Tang Nianyu can't match Tang Xian in scores, their thoughts often complement each other, and their combined scores in the Order Test reached 195.

If the siblings join forces, they could even surpass the formidable Tang Xian.

This was their little secret.

Things went smoothly afterward.

They fooled Tang easily, even making him an accomplice.

Spent a few days learning the series of methods to create portable transfer rifts from Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen.

Even extracted which transfer rift corresponded with the fortress position.

Yu Xiaozhe seemed especially patient with such highly capable kids.

At least it appeared that way.

The two children's acting was impeccable, intelligently leveraging wit and innocence, making a seemingly flawed plan reach its final stage.

On July 7th.

The plan finally started to implement because Tang Jian learned that only on this day would the Divine Seat Fortress be in full form.

The pair successfully used the portable transfer rift to go to the Divine Seat Fortress. Just outside Baichuan City.

It was only after the two silhouettes disappeared for a while that Akasi and Tang Jing stepped out.

"Is this really alright? Those two kids are walking into the Divine Seat Fortress," Akasi asked.

"It's what my brother insisted on doing, Song Que is already inside taking care," Tang Jing laughed.

"Don't you think it's a bit troublesome?"

"You can see it as the Order Father's way of playing games with his children?"

"The two kids are probably going to be quite shaken, right?"

"They are indeed smart, but not as enlightened as my brother, so fundamentally, they are still children, lacking reverence due to excessive cleverness. Even my brother, who was enlightened in the womb, turned out like this, let alone them? So this move is just to let them understand that treating those around as fools is a very stupid thing."

"What will happen next?" Akasi asked.

"According to the script, the two children entering the Divine Seat will experience a fierce battle that their abilities can't resolve. Then Song Que and Tang will risk themselves to rescue them. Song Que sustains serious injuries, although they might not necessarily gain the trust and respect from this rescue, they'll surely increase their favor," Tang Jinghai truly envied the little ones.

Tang Xian has gone to great lengths for them.

"So everything's fake? There's no Order's body in the Divine Seat anymore, right?"

"Yes, ever since Song Que introduced the Fortress story to the kids, from Yu Xiaozhe and Lin Sen teaching them the usage of transfer rift methods, it was actually under my brother's guidance. The Order's body in the Divine Seat had long been moved to the Sea God's heart."

"But the transfer rift technology has been sealed off; they are all forbidden technologies, isn't it too dangerous?" Akasi indeed felt puzzled.

"The more you tell kids not to do something, the more they'll become interested and even addicted, it's better to guide than block, especially with such genius kids, my brother realized this and thus set up such an elaborate script."

"What if the script is seen through?"

"There's a plan for after it's seen through," Tang Jing said with smile.

"...indeed fitting of him." Akasi was completely convinced.

Tang Jing said:

"Realizing they are approaching their rebellious phase, a series of scripts were set in place to satisfy that phase, while also finding ways to make Song Que the hero saving the day.

Even beyond this, my brother has left many traps for the little ones to jump into gradually starting from the attack on the Divine Seat Fortress, unravelling a grand conspiracy of Order's revival, they will persuade Song Que to help them, keeping it from their parents and others for adult recognition.

In this process, they'll face many challenges and even dangers, and their only reference will be Song Que. They will learn valuable traits from him that they publicly disdain, only to appreciate in real battles."

"How long does this plan cover?"

"Probably until they turn twelve?"

"..." Akasi was utterly speechless.

Is this the way an experienced Order person raises their kids?

This script could practically be a novel.

"To ensure the kids don't go astray, he really put in... enormous effort."

Even scheming against his own kids, this is very Tang Xian.

But Tang Jing was still quite envious, as all this showed Tang Xian's dedication toward the kids.

"Their future is surely bright, they'll take Song Que as a role model, and the world will surely overcome many disasters because of them."

"Does the second young lady know?"

"She doesn't, the thoughts of mothers and fathers differ, so my brother fooled her as well."

"Haha, he really hasn't lost that youthful spirit, unchanged at all."
