Candy came back holding a smartphone with her two little hands. Professor Newt patted her head and said, "Did you greet the big brother?"
The girl shook her head and Professor Newt said, "Go on then, he is the nation topper you read about."
The little girl's eyes were immediately filled with stars. She hopped near Yang Dao and spoke, "Big brother, are you, Yang Dao? The one who topped the national exams at the age of 16?"
Yang Dao smiled and spoke in a soft voice, "Yes, I am Yang Dao. But I don't know what little sister is called."
The girl spoke in an excited tone, "My name is Candice Newt. I am six years old. I am in elementary school in grade two now. You can call me Candy."
Elementary schools had 8 grades before 2 gades of junior high school and 3 years of high school. This girl was a good one to be a year ahead of her peers. Yang Dao recalled that he carried a candy on him. he fished out his pocket and took out an orange-wrapped candy. He extended the hand to the little girl and said, "Big brother did not bring you any gifts this time. So take this candy. Next time I will get you an encyclopedia of your choice and chocolates. Okay?"
The girl nodded with a big smile on her face. She asked, "Big brother, how do you know that I like encyclopedias?" she tilted her head in confusion.
Yang Dao pointed at the books lying on the couch. He spoke in a mellow voice, "See there are three books lying on the couch." the girl was reading them before she opened the door for him and left them lying there.

Candy smiled brightly and then chatted with Yang Dao. The two only stopped when the doorbell rang again. Candy exclaimed, Big sister Dew is here." she ran to open the door quickly. And Professor Dew wearing blue jeans and a black top stood in front of her. She picked up the little girl in her arms and walked in as she closed the door with her heel. She was wearing slip-on bellies matching her top.
Yang Dao stood up from his chair and greeted the young beauty, "Good evening, Professor Dew."
The beauty nodded with a smile and said, "Good evening to you too, student Dao." then she sat down on the couch and asked professor Newt, "Uncle, what did you ask me to hurry over for?"
Professor Newt noticed Yang Dao's confusion and introduced Professor Dew to him. It turned out that this young lady was Professor Dew's niece. He happened to be her Uncle-in-law. Yang Dao just nodded with a smile and did not make any comments.
Professor Newt spoke, "Kylie, Yang Dao wants to conduct some simulation research on Atomic Fusion. I am the overseer of this whole program. But we will need simulation software for this. Thus, I called you over. Can you help us?"
Yang Dao replied, "I am willing to assist you to the best of my abilities, Professor. Please help us." his expression was serious. Professor Dew could sense the sincerity in his eyes. She spoke, "I can help, but we don't have the needed equipment. The system available at the university is not cut out for such a heavy simulation program."
Yang Dao spoke before Professor Newt, "I can get everything we will need. You only need to tell me what you need."
Professor Newt nodded when the beauty looked at him asking if what the bit said was true. She spoke, "Okay, we will need..." as Professor Dew spoke the name and requirements of the equipment. Yang Dao typed them all on his phone and sent a text message as long as 300 words to Feng Yun.

Soon after Feng Yun called back, as soon as Yang Dao picked up the call the other side spoke, "Young Master, I will get this all for you by tomorrow evening. Where should I deliver this?"
Yang Dao smiled and said, "Sister Yun, you are the best, you know that? Let me ask the Professor where should we get these delivered." he looked at Professor Dew who was staring at him with her eyes wide open.
She spoke, "This system assembly will need a very big space. We don't have such an area in the university. Even if we have it. We won't be able to get the permission by tomorrow. And it won't be secret if we went to the higher-up."
Yang Dao nodded and spoke to Feng Yun on the call, "Sister Yun, how about you get this all delivered at Sapphire Lake residency. My garage is empty. We can assemble it there and cordon off the area. Will that be sufficient?"
Feng Yun thought for a bit and said, "Young Master, you don't need to put it in the garage area, the place below your penthouse is up for sale. I will buy it and you can work over there."
Yang Dao spoke, "I am making you spend money again, sister Yun." he was very aggrieved with this.
Feng Yun spoke, "What is mine is yours, Young Master. Also, you are now my Young Master as well as Younger Brother. Please don't think too much. I will get this done. Okay, bye." she decisively hung up knowing that Yang Dao would counter her.
Yang Dao shook his head and said to professor Dew, "Ma'am, the equipment will arrive by tomorrow. I will take you to the place in the evening. Will that be okay? If you think the daily commute will be hectic. Then you can live over there with ease. The place is big enough."
Professor Dew was now numb to his talks and nodded. After some more discussion, Yang Dao bid farewell to the two and a half humans and rode his bike away.
Professor Dew asked Professor Newt, "Uncle, can he really get this done?"
Professor Newt shook his head and said, "Girl you are too young. Only the bike he rides is worth 2 billion carat coins. Do you know who is the sister Yun is was talking to?"
The beauty shook her head, still stunned from the words earlier. Professor Newt spoke, "President of the Phoenix Group. Your senior, Feng Yun. She came to pick him up personally the day the college started and cleaned up the paradise hotel owner Carlos and his family for offending Yang Dao. Now tell me can he do it?"
The professor went inside with Candy leaving the beauty standing stunned under the moon.

Northwoods Trapper
In the wild places of our planet, dark vestiges of our paranormal past yet cling to twisted life. In the past, the hunters and trappers of the world were tasked with removing such blights from society's fringes - legal assassins, enlisted to enforce the will of civilization against those unnatural, otherworldly hosts. Nowadays, we're not so lucky. With the idea of proper monster-hunting fading from public perception, the once-prestigious mantle is donned by amateurs, hobbyists, and self-taught warriors. It pays poorly, it's dangerous, and people would rather do something that gets them rich or famous or drowning in attention. Most often, new-age monster hunters are born from tragedy. They lack the tact, training, and funding of hunters passed. Instead, they have only their wits and brawn to carry them through. So it is with our hero. In the woods of the American Midwest, foul creatures lurk. Tabitha Varna, a young college drop-out scarred by her past, is determined to uproot them or die trying. Sometimes she hopes for both.[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
