Ethan Chen sat silently on the sofa with a small suitcase beside him. His stepmother hugged him and cried heartbreakingly, while his biological father stood opposite him angrily, pointing his finger at his nose and scolding him for being a useless waste.
Oh, Ethan Chen now is a waste.
"You skipped classes and fought, and your GPA is only 0.3. You've pissed me off! You've never successfully grown an animal embryo, and you've only embarrassed us. Is this what an heir looks like? Ah! Can you still be the heir to the family?"
"Stop scolding, stop scolding," the stepmother protected Ethan Chen like her own child. She stretched out her hand to stop Chen Jingtao, as if she was afraid that he would hurt her son. She turned around and touched Ethan Chen's little face, and then confronted her husband.
"He's only a few years old. Even researchers may not be able to come up with those things. Aren't you making things difficult for the child? What's so great about GPA? It doesn't matter if he doesn't go to school. Your son is not one of those common people who can turn his life around by relying on experimental results. He has such a big family to inherit!"
It would have been better if this had not been mentioned. Once it was said, Chen Jingtao became even more furious. Children from ordinary families know to study hard in school, improve their GPA, graduate smoothly, and find a good job to bring honor to the family. How could he, the son whom he had treated as a treasure every moment for the past twenty years, not know how to be considerate of his parents?
The father was about to cheat, but when he looked up, he saw his son sitting there without saying a word, playing dumb?! Is he playing dumb?
"You little brat!" Chen Jingtao's eyes widened, and he rushed over to hit him, but Mrs. Chen stopped him and turned around and shouted, "A Fei, go first. Your dad is so angry, why don't you leave quickly?"
However, Ethan Chen, who was sitting there, kept thinking silently. He thought---
I don’t want to become a human!
Why did a chinchilla spirit get a chance to be reborn and become a human being? When a chinchilla eats, drinks, sleeps and plays, it's too comfortable. What does it mean to become a human being?
Upgrade from easy mode to hard mode?
(╯‵□')╯︵┻━┻, you're jealous of Totoro's comfortable life, aren't you?!
Ethan Chen was drunk now. An adult chinchilla was only as big as a rabbit. In the past, he always had to crane his neck to look at people, but now, he only needed to slightly raise his head to see the couple in front of him.
It is said that they are his parents in this life.
The two men argued fiercely, and even though the reborn Ethan Chen had not yet figured out his environment and identity, he could still use his animal instinct to sense the man and woman in front of him.
He looked at Chen Jingtao, who should be a father who was angry and irritated with his son. As for Mrs. Chen, his current stepmother, Fade Chen glanced at her and then looked away.
In the end, the prodigal son of the Chen family was kicked out and left with his two suitcases.
Ethan Chen lay on the bed, trying to curl himself up, but failed.
He wanted to tuck his two front (hand) claws (arms) under his belly to press it down, but he was in a panic and failed again.
He turned his head out of habit to lick his back, but his neck was too short and his body was stiff and not flexible enough, so he failed.
In the end, he could only lie down like a human, shedding sad tears in his heart---It would be fine if he became a human, since he had already become a spirit before his rebirth anyway, but could he not be turned into a human and retain the nature of a chinchilla? It would be really painful if he couldn't lick his fur!
Ethan Chen was lying on his stomach. At this moment, he had been kicked out of the Chen family. He had nowhere to go and could only live in a hotel room.
He has lived here for a whole week since his rebirth, and only today did he finally understand the environment he is in thoroughly.
This is not Earth, much less the era when he lived, but the Galactic Era thousands of years later. Mother Planet Earth has long ceased to exist. Humans have used technology to break the limitations of survival, moved out of Earth, and re-established human civilization.
Of course, it is only human civilization.
During the transition period between the astronautical era and the ancient earth era, the natural resources that humans could move out of the earth were very limited. The 1.55 million biological species at that time almost became extinct with the destruction of the earth. Humans took themselves away, took away their science and technology, civilization and culture, but could only take away extremely limited species genes.
In other words, at this time in human society, the species of plants and animals were very limited, and the chinchilla, whose scientific name is the South American chinchilla, had long since become extinct.
Ethan Chen lay on the bed, feeling somewhat powerless. There was not even a single chinchilla here! Not even one!
What a rebirth.
Let alone chinchillas, the number of species that have been re-bred in the entire order Rodentia is very limited, and you know that Rodentia accounts for more than 40% of mammals! ! Have they all become living fossils? Just genetic fragments lying in the laboratory? !
The current situation of animals is already terrible, and the plants are not much better. The alfalfa that chinchillas love the most is gone, as are dried radishes, tree barks, and all kinds of dried fruits. They are all gone.
What is the purpose of this rebirth? Is it time to go to hard and suffer? qaq
Fortunately, even though humans left the Earth, they still brought out gene fragments and never gave up on species breeding. After thousands of years of development, the life science industry has become very mature. It not only encourages individuals and non-economic groups to conduct research, but also establishes associations to supervise and manage.
At the same time, cloning and breeding animals and plants has become a major direction to promote the development of the market economy, with association supervision, commercial research and breeding. There are currently four major group companies in the industry with life sciences as their main business, and Chen happens to run one of them.
Originally, as the heir of the Chen family, with such favorable innate conditions, if he studied hard and didn't become a loser, he could also let the reborn Totoro Ethan Chen enjoy the life of a human being.
It's a pity that Ethan Chen in the past was a loser in genetic biology. Not only did he get into the school through the back door, but he also didn't study hard after entering the school. He has never made any contribution to species breeding. He is also a second-generation rich man who only knows how to make trouble and have fun.
Now he has been kicked out by his own father, and he can no longer maintain his status as heir. Without the support of his family, he cannot go back to school after the trouble, and the little money left in his account is about to be used up.
The Totoro felt a little tired. He could have been reborn into anyone else, but he turned out to be a good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid that everyone despised. Now he had to clean up his past!!
There is no other way. As a chinchilla, you have to survive. As a human, you have to survive too. So you have to find a job.
Ethan Chen sat in front of a light-screen computer, browsing recruitment websites. There were many "Private Life Science Research Institutes" recruiting employees. There were many positions, both high-end and low-end, but unfortunately the requirements were very high. Of course, he, a loser who didn't even have a diploma and didn't know anything, couldn't apply.
Until the end of the drop-down list, a recruitment message suddenly caught his attention---
[Recruiting Hilla Gene Cultivation Assistant. Requirements: Male, healthy, familiar with Hilla habits, those who can take on this position will be hired with a high salary, no academic requirements. Those who are interested, please contact the Victor Xu Species Life Research Institute for an interview, and those who meet the requirements will be hired on the spot. ]
! ! ! ! !
Ethan Chen's eyes widened instantly. Hilla? !
That's my Neighbor Totoro!
