"Xixi, Xixi, you need to work hard. How quickly your dad can reach the Grandmaster level depends on you," Lin Chen muttered to himself as he taught.
Xu Mengyao smiled at them. "Honey, I'm feeling a bit sleepy. I'm going to take a nap."
"Okay."
"Get some rest."
Lin Chen said gently, looking at Xu Mengyao.
Lin Xiaoqian blinked. "Mommy, should Daddy sing you to sleep? I'll lend him to you."
"No need. Stay with Daddy and keep learning," Xu Mengyao said, a hint of irritation in her voice.
There were other guests around.
If they hadn't been there, letting Lin Chen sing her to sleep might have been nice... His bedtime stories were remarkably hypnotic.
Xu Mengyao closed her eyes and fell asleep. Lin Chen continued teaching Lin Xiaoqian. The paper airplanes he was now teaching her were far more complex than the ones they'd started with, and she was learning with great focus.
This was great for training her concentration.
And it also improved her finger dexterity.
Two hours passed unnoticed.
Lin Xiaoqian had slept in the car on the way here, so she was wide awake and had been learning with Lin Chen the entire time.
After studying for so long, her interest began to wane.
"Xixi, let's stop playing this game for now. Think of something else we could play instead?" Lin Chen said with a smile.
He wanted to quickly improve his aircraft manufacturing skills, but he couldn't be too hasty. If he made Lin Xiaoqian dislike this activity in one go, it would be much harder to improve it later.
"Daddy, can I play a game?" Lin Xiaoqian looked up at Lin Chen and asked.
Lin Chen mentally asked, "System, if Xixi plays games on her phone, can I gain hacker skill experience?"
The System replied, "Host, some games are compatible, while others are not."
Lin Chen downloaded a simple letter-typing game. Small monsters with letters on their heads charged across the screen, and tapping the letters on their heads would eliminate them.
"System, is this one okay?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiaoqian grabbed her phone and started playing.
After five minutes, Lin Chen began gaining hacker experience.
"System, how much hacker skill experience do I have?" he asked mentally.
"Six hours."
Lin Chen had been gaining hacker skills for some time, but Lin Xiaoqian only played games for a short period each day, so his hacker skill progression was slow.
"It'll take another thirty-plus hours to reach Grandmaster level in aircraft manufacturing. That's not easy to level up."
"If I let Xixi play games a bit more, her hacking skills could quickly reach Grandmaster level."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Her hacking skills were only fourteen hours away from Grandmaster level. Unlike games or origami planes, he wasn't worried that Lin Xiaoqian would stop playing games after playing them more often.
"Playing games too much would be bad for Xixi, but if something goes wrong with the plane, the consequences would be much worse."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
If his hacking skills reached Grandmaster level and his aircraft manufacturing skills were also strong, he could ensure that Xu Mengyao's private jet couldn't be remotely controlled.
"I'll let Xixi play games a bit more these next few days."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Compared to the risks, playing games was much safer. Playing a bit more in the short term wouldn't significantly affect Lin Xiaoqian's eyesight, and her future physical improvements would also enhance her vision.
Another hour passed.
Xu Mengyao woke up.
"Xixi, what are you doing?" Xu Mengyao asked, looking at Lin Xiaoqian.
Lin Xiaoqian replied in her childish voice, "Mommy, I'm fighting little monsters! I'm protecting our home."
"Xixi, Mommy's awake. Stay with her for a while."
"You can play later," Lin Chen said, pausing his game.
Lin Xiaoqian's eyes lit up. "Daddy, can I play again later?"
"Yes, you can. Go keep Mommy company first," Lin Chen said, kissing her cheek.
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen with confusion. Didn't he strictly limit Xiaoqian's screen time? Had she only played for a short while?
Twenty minutes passed.
Lin Xiaoqian returned to play with Lin Chen, continuing for another hour and a half until the high-speed train arrived.
Lin Chen's hacker experience increased by two and a half hours!
Previously, she had only played for about twenty minutes a day at most.
After parking the car in the high-speed train station lot and getting into their own car, Lin Xiaoqian quickly fell asleep.
Xu Mengyao asked, "Honey, why did you let Xixi play games for so long today? Won't playing for too long affect her eyesight?"
"It's fine to play for a while occasionally," Lin Chen replied. "Practicing martial arts with me improves Xixi's physique. As her physique improves, her eyesight will also improve."
Xu Mengyao nodded slightly.
"Honey, do you think Xixi will get addicted to games?"
Lin Chen shook his head. "Probably not. She doesn't have much of a talent for gaming. When I restrict her playtime, she just wants to play more."
"I'll just let her play freely for a few days."
"She'll probably realize games aren't that interesting after a while."
Xu Mengyao nodded. "Hmm... do as you think best, dear. You're much better at teaching our daughter than I am. Since you started training her, Xixi has transformed completely."
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, Lin Chen again allowed Lin Xiaoqian to play games for a considerable amount of time.
**Host, your hacking skills have reached Grandmaster level.**
The System's voice resonated in Lin Chen's mind.
A flood of information surged into his consciousness.
Lin Chen marveled at the progress. He released his control over Lin Xiaoqian's gaming time, and the improvement was truly rapid.
Yesterday, he had only accumulated six hours of experience. Today, he had reached ten hours. If Lin Xiaoqian continued playing for two or three hours daily, he would soon become a Great Grandmaster.
"Once I reach the Great Grandmaster level, I'll check her phone and computer again, and then add protective software to all her devices."
*Lin Chen thought to himself.*
His network security was managed by the Ministry of State Security. Even as a Grandmaster, he might not be superior to their cybersecurity experts.
China's information security had once been weak, but that was no longer the case.
Another half hour passed.
"Xixi, let's stop playing for now," Lin Chen said. "If you want to play more this afternoon, Daddy will let you for a little while longer. Daddy's going to make dinner now. Why don't you keep me company while I cook?"
"Okay, okay," Lin Xiaoqian nodded.
Lin Chen lifted her into her high chair, which was placed at the kitchen doorway.
As he cooked, he taught her math in English. This way, he could improve his culinary skills, English, and math all at once.
Not long after dinner, Lin Xiaoqian fell asleep.
*Knock, knock.*
Lin Chen opened the door, and Tianlang stood outside.
"Mr. Lin, is Xixi asleep?" Tianlang asked.
Lin Chen nodded. "She is. Come in."
Tianlang entered the room. Lin Chen gestured for him to sit on the sofa. With a grave expression, Tianlang said, "Mr. Lin, the investigation has yielded results."
"What did you find?" Lin Chen asked.
Tianlang: "Guo Qingsong was corrupted by money. He's been arrested. He leaked information about Academician Lin to an intelligence organization."
"After analyzing the information, that organization likely suspected you. They used President Xu's flight to test you."
Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged.
*This was to be expected.*
"Have you identified the intelligence organization?"
Tianlang shook his head. "Not yet. These organizations have extremely strong counter-surveillance capabilities."
"We've found the person who contacted Guo Qingsong, but he has no idea who his superior is."
Lin Chen: "Tianlang, so you're here because—"
