21st Century Necromancer

A little black bear wobbled its little paws, sitting dazedly on the ground, unsure of what was happening in front of it.

However, given bears' highly nearsighted vision, they can't see clearly even if something is placed right in front of them, making it indeed improbable for this little black bear to understand the situation "before its eyes."

As for the other little white polar bear, it was in a worse predicament than its relative, because a little girl about the same size was constantly grabbing its fur and climbing onto it, yet the polar bear couldn't resist or harm the little girl at all.

Because the little girl's mother was using Dragon Might to intimidate the recently born bear cubs, ensuring they wouldn't hurt her daughter.

These two bears were personally caught by Chen Yu. Of course, he wasn't cruel enough to steal cubs directly from a bear's den but rather found two cubs that had lost their bear mothers.

In the wild, such instances are not uncommon; without rescue or special circumstances, these bear cubs wouldn't survive the winter.

In fact, when Chen Yu found them, the condition of these two bear cubs wasn't very good, especially the little black bear, which was already starving and barely alive.

Fortunately, for Chen Yu, it wasn't difficult to handle. After infusing some Life Energy, feeding them a bit of milk and condensed milk from the hotel, the two bear cubs regained their vitality.

But now they were both intimidated by Jounouchi Hiromi's Dragon Might, becoming plush toys for Little Yixi.

Seeing his daughter climbing on the little polar bear and noticing the adorable and silly demeanor of the two bear cubs, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel cheerful. As long as his daughter was happy, it was worth spending an entire afternoon finding these two bear cubs.

However, the living habits and environments of polar bears and black bears are different; black bears adapt to temperate climates, while polar bears are cold-climate creatures.

Moreover, both types of bears grow to be enormous when adults, especially polar bears, being the largest terrestrial carnivores, adult male polar bears can stand up to 2.8 meters tall and weigh over 800 kilograms, truly mammoth creatures.

Black bears, though slightly smaller, still reach nearly two meters in body length when fully grown, posing significant danger to the average human.

So, if Yixi wanted to keep these bears as pets, they would need some adjustments and modifications to ensure they don't grow too quickly and enhance the intelligence of these bear cubs.

At the very least, they need to understand that Yixi is their owner and cannot harm her.

This isn't difficult because bears aren't considered low in intelligence; during World War II, a Polish artillery unit adopted a brown bear that smoked and drank, even earning the rank of corporal, participating in the war, transporting ammunition on the battlefield, and venturing into Iraq, Syria, and Italy to engage in battle against Germans on European soil.

So, raising a bear as a pet is perfectly fine.

"It seems Yixi really likes these two little bears," Jounouchi Hiromi observed her daughter and the bears playing, her tone filled with affection.

Although it looked like Yixi was bullying the two bear cubs, over time, the cubs had come to see Little Yixi as their companion and didn't resist her climbing all over them.

"These bear cubs are still young, they'll become the best playmates for Yixi," Chen Yu said, sitting next to Jounouchi Hiromi, both watching their daughter playing with the bears.

"Hmm, hmm, but isn't raising bears too dangerous for Little Yixi?" Jounouchi Hiromi still felt a bit concerned about the two bears.

After all, they are two very dangerous and fierce animals, even adults might struggle to manage them when they're grown, making them unsuitable pets for a little girl.

"I'll modify their brains later, enhancing their intelligence to clearly remember and recognize Yixi, so they understand she is their owner." Chen Yu didn't see any issue with raising bears, figuring that when Little Yixi grew up, no brat would dare bully her.

Although such a scenario was unlikely, since Chen Yu intended to let Little Yixi experience a normal childhood, issues like puppy love still needed precaution.

Chen Yu wasn't the type to be old-fashioned and oppose his daughter associating with boys, but he didn't want Little Yixi to engage in any relationships surpassing friendship before adulthood.

With two bears by her side, it would be enough to deter ill-intentioned people without requiring him as a father to step in personally.

While Chen Yu and his wife were chatting, someone suddenly knocked on their room door. Chen Yu gave Jounouchi Hiromi a gesture to watch over their daughter and the two bear cubs before getting up to open the door.noveldrama

Standing outside was Chen Yu's secretary, Shirai Reina.

"Sorry to disturb your rest, Professor," Shirai Reina apologized to Chen Yu before saying, "The Nobel Committee has sent someone to inquire whether you and Professor Jounouchi will attend the evening's banquet."

"Banquet?" Chen Yu looked at Shirai Reina, awaiting her explanation.

Since arriving in Sweden yesterday, Chen Yu and his wife hadn't gone out sightseeing or attended parties like others did. Except for Chen Yu taking a stroll to catch two bears for his daughter, they'd spent the remainder of the time in the room playing with her.

Now, with Shirai Reina suddenly mentioning a banquet, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel some confusion.

"It's a welcome banquet hosted by the Nobel Committee, inviting all this year's laureates to attend. Professor, if you have no other engagements, please make sure to attend," Shirai Reina said earnestly to Chen Yu. Before coming here, she was asked by Professor Kube to ensure Chen Yu and his wife could attend the banquet.

The previous gathering hosted by Karolinska Institute was insignificant, a regular gathering to attend as one wished.

But the evening's banquet was different; it was a reception for this year's Nobel Prize winners hosted by the Swedish Royal Family, a special invitation for Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi, making it undeniably rude not to attend.

After Shirai Reina's explanation, Chen Yu nodded to indicate understanding, agreeing he would attend the banquet in the evening.

After letting the secretary leave, Chen Yu returned to the room to explain the situation to Jounouchi Hiromi, saying they needed to attend the banquet tonight.

"Attend a banquet? Sounds like such a hassle!" Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but show a bitter expression, disliking attending banquets. "And what about Yixi? We can't possibly bring a child to the banquet, can we?"

"What's the problem with that? Is there a rule that says you can't bring children to a banquet?" Chen Yu replied with a nonchalant attitude.
