Chapter 229: Cloud Adoption System: One-Click Bind to Imperial Heir Child

At this point, upon learning that someone wished to adopt a child, the director of Sunshine Welfare Home personally came to the reception room.

He warmly greeted: “Mr. Luo, welcome, welcome.”

Luo Jie nodded with a smile: “The pleasure is mine.”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries,

the director smiled and said: “Shall I take Itachi to see the children?”

Luo Jie nodded in agreement.

The director then led him toward the courtyard where the children were playing.

From afar, a group of little kids chased and wrestled on the grass.

Luo Jie’s gaze swept across them and immediately locked onto a solitary child in the corner.

It was Xiangyang, the one possessing the purest Five Elements bloodline.

He wore old clothes, sat on a swing, gazed upward, his eyes hollow, as if the entire world had nothing to do with him.

Luo Jie seemed to have seen a similar aura on that fox boy before.

Is this the aura shared by imperial heirs?

Luo Jie immediately activated the Cloud Adoption System and chose to bind with Xiangyang.

The next instant, a vast surge of energy flooded into his body.

It was the Five Elements bloodline.

Luo Jie’s heart erupted in joy.

Finally, I have the Five Elements bloodline.

I’m no longer a bloodline-less muggle.

I’m one of the elite now.

Of course, Luo Jie did not forget to activate the celestial computer in the dark dimension to analyze the data of this bloodline.

The spirit of scientific research must not be abandoned.

Let’s see if we can synchronize the Five Elements bloodline across other worlds.

If possible, my counterpart in the Three-Body world could launch the Universal Emperor Hero program.

Everyone turns into light, wandering the universe as street loafers.

Meanwhile, the director was still enthusiastically introducing: “All our children are very lovely…”

As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Luo Jie: “Mr. Luo, have Itachi found a child Itachi like?”

Luo Jie unhesitatingly pointed toward the corner where Xiangyang sat: “I think that child is perfect.”

The director’s expression instantly changed.

He hesitated, then said: “Xiangyang… has a rather reclusive personality, hard to get along with. Mr. Luo, please consider carefully.”

As director of Sunshine Welfare Home, he naturally knew many secrets.

Including Xiangyang’s true identity.

Possessing the purest Five Elements bloodline.

Moreover, Sunshine Welfare Home actually housed many descendants of the Five Elements Village.

Members of the original Armor Team One all had some connection to Sunshine Welfare Home.

Many of them had once been orphans here.

Moreover, Sunshine Welfare Home had once concealed the Gold Shadow Stone and Water Shadow Stone.

Ten years ago, the Shadow Realm attacked Sunshine Orphanage precisely for these two Shadow Stones.

Now, seeing a young man, wealthy and conspicuous, fixated on Xiangyang, the director couldn’t help but suspect.

Does this guy know about the Five Elements Village and the psychic beasts? Is he coveting the Five Elements bloodline?

Besides, Xiangyang had been adopted before.

But that couple were the ultimate human garbage—alcoholics and gamblers, total scum.

After adoption, Xiangyang wasn’t sent to school; instead, he became free labor, forced to roam the streets with a burlap sack collecting trash.

The Emperor Armor summoner had become a trash collector.

Thinking of this, the director grew even more hesitant.

Luo Jie spoke: “I think that child is excellent—he will surely achieve greatness.”

The staff nearby, seeing the director’s hesitation, looked puzzled.

Didn’t the director usually care deeply about Xiangyang?

Now that a wealthy young heir with such good conditions wants to adopt him, why is he hesitating?

At this moment, Luo Jie stepped forward and whispered to him: “I mean no harm. I am also a descendant of the Five Elements Village.”

Upon hearing this, the director’s pupils dilated in shock.

So Itachi’re one too…

Before he could speak, Luo Jie walked up to Xiangyang, knelt down, and asked gently:

“Little boy, how would Itachi like me to be your father?”

Hearing someone wanted to be his father, Xiangyang remained silent, not even lifting his eyelids.

He stared at the ground as if it held the universe’s greatest mystery.

Luo Jie wasn’t in a rush; he continued: “I can buy Itachi new clothes, find Itachi a beautiful mother, and teach Itachi to fight monsters.”

The staff watching this scene couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:

This rich guy has a playful side—even at his age, he still thinks about fighting monsters.

Meanwhile, the director also knelt down and softly asked Xiangyang: “Xiangyang, would Itachi like to go with Mr. Luo?”

Perhaps due to the natural attraction between Five Elements bloodlines, Xiangyang felt an inexplicable warmth toward this man.

That resonance deep within his bloodline gave him an unexpected sense of safety.

After all, both of them now possessed the purest Five Elements bloodline—they were, in essence, father and son without blood ties.

Xiangyang still said nothing, but gave a slight nod.

Seeing this, the director exhaled deeply: “Since Xiangyang agrees, I entrust him to Itachi, Mr. Luo.”

Luo Jie nodded solemnly and promised: “Rest assured, I will treat him well.”

The director, satisfied, took Luo Jie to process Xiangyang’s adoption paperwork.

As the staff stamped the documents, they muttered, “These days, there are still wealthy second-generation kids who come in person to adopt children—rare creatures indeed.”

“True. At his age, he could easily have his own children. Could there be some hidden reason?”

Standing outside the room, talking with the director, Luo Jie’s expression shifted.

Someone dares to slander me, the Emperor Hero?

How bold.

Whatever. I won’t bother with muggles who lack the Five Elements bloodline.

…

Soon, the paperwork was complete. Luo Jie placed Xiangyang’s suitcase in the trunk of his sports car and opened the passenger door.

Xiangyang silently got in, fastened his seatbelt, saying not a word the entire time.

Luo Jie started the engine, and the car slowly pulled away from Sunshine Welfare Home.

Inside the car, silence reigned.

Luo Jie drove, glancing occasionally at Xiangyang beside him.

This kid… is a true social phobe.

Though I’m a social phobe too.

But I’m a social terror.

For genuine social phobes, Luo Jie had no good way to connect.

As he pondered how to break the ice, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Right—I have a dumb girl!

Brilliant wisdom suddenly activated!

Got it: when we get home, I’ll replicate the dumb girl and have her take care of the kid.

The dumb girl—a thoughtful, gentle, cooking-capable high-tech smartphone robot—is the perfect nanny.

Compared to me, an Emperor Hero who only knows how to fight monsters, I’m utterly unsuited for parenting.

“I’m clearly a genius.”

Luo Jie’s lips curled upward.

But before that, he had one more thing to do.

Luo Jie pulled up the celestial computer interface in the dark dimension and checked the progress of the Five Elements bloodline analysis.

The exact mechanism of how the Five Elements bloodline functions had not yet been fully deciphered.

But the good news was, he had already mastered the method to replicate the Five Elements bloodline.

Even better—he could decompose the Five Elements bloodline into independent bloodlines of each village.

In an instant, he could produce a large batch of Five Elements Village descendants.

Each bloodline would be absurdly pure.

In other words, Luo Jie was now, effectively, a bloodline wholesaler!

No—better yet, an Armor wholesaler.
