Chapter 122 Invite you to go home with me!

Dual cultivation is a way for practitioners to improve their cultivation in ancient Chinese literary and artistic works during the ancient Earth era.

Because there had been a massive ancient Earth culture revival movement in the past, the theme of cultivation was not unfamiliar to people in the interstellar age, and was even very popular at one point.

So, when Ji Mingxue talked about dual cultivation, Shen Qingzhu understood immediately.

Shen Qingzhu had a detailed discussion about this with Ji Mingxue at that time.

"In existing literary and artistic works, most cultivators need external assistance when practicing, such as absorbing spiritual energy or demonic energy. However, our spiritual power is generated spontaneously from the body, which should be a different system from cultivation."

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingzhu was actually analyzing the difference between the two. Ji Mingxue was embarrassed for a moment, but couldn't help asking him, "Then why did we all react so strongly when you helped me sort out my spiritual power?"

The feeling is similar to the dual cultivation described in literary works, and is even more stimulating and exciting than direct physical contact.

Hearing this, Shen Qingzhu's face immediately became hot, but he still said seriously, "Then maybe it has something to do with the compatibility of our mental power? Since genes and pheromones are compatible, maybe mental power is also compatible?"

That's true.

Ji Mingxue: "I'll ask Tang Quan to research it later."

The empire's research on mental power has just begun, and there is still a lot to explore.

Even in Shen Qingzhu's original world, the theory about the compatibility of mental power was only proposed not long ago and has not yet been confirmed.

Shen Qingzhu had never had anyone with whom he could communicate his spiritual power, and he had never helped anyone to sort out his spiritual power.

However, it was also because of that accident that Shen Qingzhu had some new ideas about mental power.

Since he started teaching Ji Mingxue how to use mental power, Shen Qingzhu discovered that Ji Mingxue's externalized mental power was mostly manifested in strength.

Even though Ji Mingxue has been able to successfully control many things with his mental power recently, his precision is far inferior to Shen Qingzhu's.

At that time, Shen Qingzhu would occasionally think that if he could personally help Ji Mingxue control the mental power in his body and demonstrate to Ji Mingxue several times how the mental power circulated in the body, Ji Mingxue's control over mental power might be improved to a higher level.

But Shen Qingzhu was not sure at that time whether he could really do such a thing.

Ji Mingxue's accidental mental power sorting during her fever period made Shen Qingzhu's idea possible.

After telling Ji Mingxue about his idea, Ji Mingxue was also very active in letting Shen Qingzhu try it.

Later, Shen Qingzhu tried it despite the overwhelming enthusiasm that almost made him lose his mind, and finally came to a preliminary conclusion -

1. If you want to find the spiritual power in a person, you must have direct physical contact with him;

2. If you want to control someone's mental power, both parties must have enough trust in each other. If one party hesitates or resists subconsciously, it will not succeed;

3. Ji Mingxue’s way of operating his mental power was indeed different from his.

At that time, Shen Qingzhu had controlled Ji Mingxue's mental power, allowing it to flow and release within his body in his own way, and he was able to do it very easily to the extent that Shen Qingzhu could normally do.

Therefore, the real problem has never been Ji Mingxue’s mental power, but the way he uses his mental power.

Mental power does not have only one single attribute.

Depending on how it operates, there are many things it can do, with almost unlimited possibilities.

Because of this discovery, as soon as the fever period ended, Ji Mingxue immediately immersed herself in Tang Quan's laboratory, and asked Tang Quan to develop equipment that could map the routes and pictures of mental power as quickly as possible.

It is also because of the advent of this new equipment that Shen Qingzhu was able to learn how senior Deng Yuanyuan used her mental power to take care of "Star Rose".

Of course, more importantly, this discovery is very likely to greatly lower the threshold for people to learn and use mental power in the future.

It also indirectly solved a problem that had been worrying Ji Mingxue for a long time——

Any research requires a large number of samples, and the same is true for mental power.

Previously, with the cooperation of many Omegas on the Academy Star, including the Royal Omega Academy, Tang Quan's laboratory had collected and organized a lot of data related to mental power, but this was far from enough.

Compared with the total population base of the empire, there are still too few people on the Academy Star.

However, since there has been no practical method that allows everyone to learn and use mental power, even Ji Mingxue cannot force everyone to cooperate in the research of mental power. The only way to obtain data is through the unstable method of recruiting volunteers.

But now, they have successfully mapped out several scenarios of how mental power operates in the human body. In the future, they will develop more ways to use mental power, which will have great potential in both military and civilian fields.

This is a brand-new power system that is not monopolized by Alpha, and it is also a vast blue ocean that has not yet been developed.

Ji Mingxue believed that in time, this blue ocean would definitely influence or even change the structure of the entire empire, providing a solid foundation for the rise of Omega and even Beta.

But the prerequisite for all this is that there must be enough people learning and applying this new power system.

In other words, Ji Mingxue wants to run a school.

Set up a school dedicated to the research and study of spiritual power.

And only Omegas are recruited in the initial stage.

Shen Qingzhu agreed with this idea, but he was also a little curious, "Where do you plan to open a school?"

Ji Mingxue groaned, "The initial idea is to go to the Academy Star."

"We still have too little research on mental power, and there are almost no teachers who can teach this knowledge."

"Tangquan's laboratory can provide some teachers who can teach theory, but the only teachers who can teach practical operations that I can think of are you, me, and senior Deng Yuanyuan."

This is still the ideal situation.

The reality is, given how busy Shen Qingzhu and his teammates are, they may not be able to spare the time to teach others when the time comes.

Besides, Ji Mingxue himself hasn’t figured out his mental power yet.

There is almost no possibility that senior Deng Yuanyuan will accept the invitation to teach students.

Seeing that Ji Mingxue was getting more and more worried, Shen Qingzhu chuckled and touched his head, "Do you want to hear my thoughts?"

Ji Mingxue's eyes lit up, "Of course."

Shen Qingzhu thought for a moment, "We have just started our research on spiritual power, and we don't have a mature system yet, so I think we can take our time with running a school. Let's first use another way to let everyone understand and accept the existence of spiritual power."

"Also, you can also ask Mr. Ji Yu about this matter."

"He might be able to give you some more practical advice."

Ji Mingxue was a person who listened to advice, so he went to talk to his father after listening. In the end, he decided to set up a mental power exchange salon on the college star starting from the next semester, and try to attract as many Omegas as possible to participate in the study and practice of mental power.

…

At the end of December, when many students had already returned home to prepare for Christmas and New Year, the annual theme voting for College Star finally came to a successful conclusion.

The theme of "Gods and Demons", submitted by Zhen Miao, the third-year chief student of the Imperial University Screenwriting Academy, ultimately won first place with an overwhelming number of votes.

There was a sudden jubilation on the Academy Star Forum——

[“Gods and Demons” is number one!!! Zhen Miao Liu Xie!!!]

[It’s worth it that I stay up late every night to refresh and vote for “Gods and Demons”!!! However, “Gods and Demons” has already ranked first, so can the previous vote by Zhu Zong and Ji Mingxue be officially presented!!!]

[I want to see Takezo and Ji Mingxue wearing archangel suits and posting! ! ! (shock)]

[I'm different! I want to see them wearing big devil suits!!! (I want to see succubus too!!!)]

[I want to see the big devil +1, especially Zhu Zong, it feels very cute in contrast! But the devil is dark, right? It is too different from Zhu Zong's usual appearance, Zhu Zong may not agree? ]

[I also think that the angel version is possible, but as for the demon version, I am actually curious whether it will be castrated at that time? The demon army and the like do not seem to be in line with the love and peace that the Academy Star has always advocated? ]

[The official collection of theme easter eggs has just been released! ! Those who want to see Mr. Take and the beautiful lady Ming Xue cosplay, go for it! ! ! ]

As soon as this news came out, the students who were bored at home were suddenly excited and immediately rushed to the official interface of Academy Star to start refreshing the screen, wanting Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue to cosplay the characters in the "Gods and Demons" theme!

At the same time, netizens who learned the news on Star Internet also went crazy under the official Star Blog of Academy Star, and expressed the same demands in an excited manner.

In fact, although many people think that the change of theme of Academy Star every year is a grand ceremony to welcome new students, its main purpose is actually to enable all students of Academy Star to complete the training and mastery of professional skills in practical operations that last for half a year each time.

This is also one of the important reasons why Academy Star is the leader in the entire empire.

Because it is truly cultivating the best talents for the empire at almost no cost.

In previous years, the popularity and influence of the Academy Star theme were mostly limited to the Academy Star, or appeared briefly in the news, attracting people's temporary attention and discussion.

But this year, since the theme audition stage, countless people on Starnet have actively paid attention to this matter, and even spontaneously opened a theme vote on Starnet, with nearly 100 billion participants.

Even though this matter has nothing to do with the spectators, the people of the empire still enjoy it because the Academy Star now has two top 3S stars.

The final first choice was the same as the Academy Star, both were "Gods and Demons".

Of course, the two archangel version 6S illustrations that circulated from the Academy Star Forum are naturally indispensable.

Because of this, when people learned that "Gods and Demons" was the popular favorite and was confirmed as the theme of Academy Star for the next year, many people were immediately overjoyed and rushed to the official Star Blog of Academy Star.

Because it was so popular, this incident quickly became a hot topic on Star Network.

The Academy Star officials had naturally already seen the messages from countless people across the empire.

So, two days later in the evening, when Shen Qingzhu was packing his luggage, he suddenly received a message from the official of Academy Star -

Dear Mr. Shen Qingzhu:

Because you received 987,631 votes in the "Gods and Demons" theme easter egg collection, teachers and students hope that you can play the role of the archangel in "Gods and Demons" during the Academy Star theme period next year. The Academy Star official hereby sends you the most sincere greetings and solemnly solicits your opinions...】

Afterwards, the official spoke a lot more earnestly, saying that everyone liked Shen Qingzhu very much, and Shen Qingzhu's appearance was indeed too good. If she could play the archangel in the next theme, it would definitely add a lot of color to the entire academy and leave the freshmen with unforgettable and beautiful memories, blah blah.

Shen Qingzhu: ...

Such a familiar routine.

He used to receive it every year.

Just as he was wondering whether to refuse, Shen Qingzhu suddenly felt a weight on his back. It was Ji Mingxue lying on top of him.

"Why do you have that expression?" It was rare to see such a slightly disgusted look on Shen Qingzhu's face, and Ji Mingxue was really a little curious.

Shen Qingzhu then shared the light screen with him.

When Ji Mingxue saw it, she immediately smiled and popped up her own light screen, "What a coincidence, I got it too."

Shen Qingzhu looked up and was not surprised to see an invitation email that was almost identical to her own.

"Are you going to agree?" Shen Qingzhu asked him gently.

Ji Mingxue twirled his raven-feather black hair around her fingertips and said, "It's not a question of whether I agree or not."

"I am a student of the Mecha Academy. Strictly speaking, I am a military cadet. Of course, I must obey the orders of my superiors."

"All military academies on Academy Star change their students' uniforms every year to match the theme of the planet."

"The Mecha Academy has also issued a notice that all cadets will change their uniforms to the Angel Army's uniforms next year."

"So, even if I don't agree, I will still have to wear the Angel Army uniform when the time comes."

"The reason why the Academy Star officials sent me this email is probably to show their respect for me, a 3S-level Omega."

Shen Qingzhu hummed softly, knowing that what Ji Mingxue said was true.

"So, are you going to accept the invitation?" Ji Mingxue asked Shen Qingzhu curiously.

Shen Qingzhu smiled, and didn't say whether he wanted it or not. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Ji Mingxue, "Do you want me to accept it?"

Ji Mingxue blinked on his back, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth, "From my personal point of view, of course I hope you can accept it."

"Because I really like the way you look when you turn into an angel."

"It makes my heart beat faster and it's extremely charming." Ji Mingxue whispered in Shen Qingzhu's ear.

"But I also said that that's just my personal opinion."

"If you don't like it and don't want it, I hope you can refuse it."

"I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for anyone."

"Not even if that person is me."

"So, just follow your own ideas."

“No need to worry.”

He said this sincerely, and Shen Qingzhu felt a tenderness in her heart.

In fact, Shen Qingzhu had discovered more than once before that Ji Mingxue was secretly voting for "Gods and Demons" and posts hoping that they could do a cosplay.

Every time Ji Mingxue saw the portrait of Shen Qingzhu as the Archangel, his eyes would always sparkle and he looked very happy.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingzhu decisively gave an affirmative response to the official website of Academy Star and accepted the invitation to play the archangel the following year.

After he told Ji Mingxue about this, Ji Mingxue was indeed very happy, but she still suppressed her excitement and asked Shen Qingzhu curiously, "I thought you were not interested in this kind of thing?"

Shen Qingzhu chuckled, "From my personal point of view, of course I can't say I like her."

“But it’s not to the point of being annoying.”

After all, he was used to it before.

"But who makes my boyfriend like it?"

Shen Qingzhu tapped Ji Mingxue's beautiful nose and said, "If doing this can make Ji Xiaoxue happy, then I will naturally be happy to do it."

Ji Mingxue: ...

Ji Mingxue discovered that although Shen Qingzhu was much more reserved than him most of the time, when she suddenly became outspoken, it could really be fatal!

"How can you be so good!!" Ji Mingxue hugged Shen Qingzhu and rubbed her madly, using almost all of her willpower to avoid screaming.

But he really likes Shen Qingzhu!

I like it so much! I don't want to be separated from Shen Qingzhu at all!

"Otherwise, come home with me during the New Year this year!"

His brain felt hot, and before he realized what he had said, Ji Mingxue had already blurted out what he had said.
