Almighty Father System-Chapter 87: Camping.

Leo drove inside the research center and found that Professor Amina Yulu had come to the gate of the building and Leo could see the sparkle in her eyes. Lily looked at her through the glass and asked, "That granny looks like she is waiting for her Baba to bring her ice cream."

Leo was stunned for a second and then he chuckled as he got out of the car. The young man made the introduction of the people and after a few minutes of conversation. Leo handed over the small pen drive and said, "All that you need is in here, but please promise me that you all will keep it under wraps and also won't be careless with your healths once you start the research."

Amina Yulu smiled and said, "Mister Cardinal, we may be old, but we understand that if we were to pass away while still in the middle of research, someone else will step in to share the credit and the fame that comes after a successful completion. So, don't worry, we won't be careless."

Leo nodded, and then they were led by the doctors to the mess hall, where a highly trained chef served them a sumptuous dinner. After the meal, Lily expressed her curiosity about the place, and the family of three took a tour under the lead of Amara Hak, the liaison and the manager of the place.

Amara told Lily about the roles of the different labs and some different machines that she knew about and the couple watched their daughter be fascinated by it all. It wasn't until late night that they finished the tour, and Lily fell asleep in Leo's arms. The young man discussed with Snow and they agreed to spend the night in one of the quarters that were kept vacant and clean for visitors.

Amara was considerate enough to have arranged for the room in advance. The night passed without any dream, but Leo did take a course of wildlife survival in his virtual realm, and he woke up in the morning according to his biological clock. He didn't disturb Snow and Lily before he walked out of the room, and took a small run around the research facility.

All along he noticed that the security of the place was solid. This place also dealt in research for military at times and thus they had armed security guards around as well. Some of the patrolling guards did question Leo but let him go when they saw his VVIP visitors card.

Coming back, Leo found that the two ladies were up and getting ready. They had some light breakfast in the cafeteria where Lily, unable to hold back her curiosity went up to some research scientists and asked them a few questions like, "Sir, why did you become a scientist?"

Many old doctors were surprised by this sudden incursion but they replied delightfully after all, Lily was just that adorable. It was almost noon when they bade farewell to the people and drove away, heading deeper in the mountains.

Lily was silent, and Leo asked, "Love, are you thinking about something?"

Lily hummed and asked, "I wonder what I will be when I grow up? Will I be a soldier? Will I be a scientist? Will I be a businesswoman? Ugh, future sounds so stressful."

Snow chuckled but quickly covered her mouth and stifled her laughter. Leo himself was left speechless, and he said, "Yes, so, that is why, focus on the moment that you are in, my dear. In this life, there are many things that we wish to control and think about, but not everything works the way we want it to work. It is not a machine that we designed, and even the machines that we design can malfunction for various reasons, right?

So, enjoy the moments, and learn all that you can and all that you want to. You know what I mean?"

Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Baba. Some of it."

Leo fell silent and focused on driving, after a couple of kilometers, they drove to the side of the road and the SUV was put in a four wheel drive mode to climb the somewhat smooth mountain. Lily felt excited when this happened and the young man then stopped his car on a relatively flat surface on the side of the hill.

He helped Snow and Lily get down and the little one inhaled the fresh air rather dramatically, before she commented, "So fresh, it feels like I ate a mind candy."

Snow smiled amusedly at her daughter's exaggeration. However, they turned around to look at Leo and found him looking at the scenery seemingly thinking something. Lily asked, "Baba, what are you thinking?"

The young man replied, "I am thinking about setting up camp around here. Let us get started."

Snow asked, "What do you need us to do?"

Leo shook his head and replied, "I will clear the space, gather the stones and set up the tent. You can go down there and gather some water if we are running short on it. We will boil it later."

Lily looked at the two people and said, "Someone lend me their mobile please. I want to take pictures and record the things you do."

Leo smiled and handed her the mobile after turning on the camera. Lily recorded the video and did commentary. She also asked Leo many questions like, "Baba, why are you piling up the stones in a circle?"

Leo replied, "We will be setting a vampire inside the circle and the stones will prevent it from spreading along the ground and harming us later on."

He quickly began to clean the site and then he began to gather twigs and wood from the surroundings and set them up inside the stone circle. Snow came back with two big bottles of water, and said, "There are a lot of fish in the water."

Leo nodded and said, "I will fish later, let us set up a tent first."

Snow agreed and then they began to set up the tent while Lily recorded everything. The whole thing took them one hour, and when the tent was set up, Snow took the phone from Lily, who dashed inside the tent and flung herself on the soft inflated base and bounced while Giggling.

Leo sighed and said while looking at his wife, "Thankfully I got us a cushion based tent. This little goblin would have gotten hurt."

The lady chuckled and replied, "How smart of you Mister Cardinal."

The trio frolicked inside the tent with each other. The tent could hold five people inside and this gave them enough space. After a few minutes they came outside the tent and Lily looked at the firewood as she asked, "Baba, can we start the fire now? It feels a little cold."

Leo nodded, how dare he overlook the fact that the wind was causing his princess to feel uncomfortable. He took out an ignition stone and beckoned Lily to come over.

Snow picked up her phone and recorded the process. Leo gathered some wood shavings on a big stone and showed Lily how to rub the knife like part of the ignitor against the stone to produce sparks and then asked her to do it while facing the wood shavings.

Lily was a bit surprised and unconfident because her movements were stiff. Then Leo knelt behind her, and held her hand gently before performing the same movement and the sparks lit up the wood shavings after repetitive strikes.

Lily was surprised to see the smoke rising from the shavings and Leo placed the smoking fragments inside the stone circle and used a small window he purposefully left at the bottom of the three layered stone boundary to blow some air.

The air ignited the dry wood twigs and sticks, after a minute, the fire was set. The surroundings began to heat up as well, and Lily sat down on the ground with a smile.

Then Leo set up the animal repelling traps that he got earlier and took out his knife as he said, "Snow, I am going down to gather the woods."

Snow nodded and said, "Be careful."

That said, Leo moved downhill as there were a few old trees standing at the bank of the rivers. He used the big knife to gather a lot of wood and tied them up with a rope before heading back uphill. When he was on his way up, he paused for a second, because on the ground he noticed a few rodent marks.

There was an itch in his heart to hunt them but recalling how Lily was so adamant about not harming the cute rabbits, he sighed and continued on his way while muttering, 'We are not predators, we are not predators.'

The system's voice sounded, 'Ping: Host, you have abandoned your desire to hunt for the sake of your daughter. You are rewarded with basic fishing skills, and a buff to catch a fish which increases fifty percent of your chance to catch a prey.'

Leo was surprised and said, 'Thank you for your prompt buff system, I was worried we might go hungry and have to rely on snacks.'
