Chapter 128 Let him be your guinea pig

"Miss Mu, thank you. I will find a way to pay you back later." Even though Lu Peng was filled with sorrow, he did not forget to express his gratitude to Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu nodded without saying much. If Lü Peng could repay her, she would accept it. If he really couldn't, she would consider it a benefit for a former employee, since Lü Peng had done his best for her back then.

However, if Lü Peng cannot repay the debt, such sympathy and assistance will not be offered again.

"How is he?" Mu Qingyu gestured with her chin toward Gu Jianye and asked Jing Chen.

The current Gu Jianye is completely different from the one Mu Qingyu first met.

When Mu Qingyu first met Gu Jianye, he was still dressed neatly in a suit, his hair was combed cleanly, and his face was clean-shaven. His skin was somewhat fair, and although he was slightly overweight, he still looked like a very refined middle-aged man.

Now, Gu Jianye's clothes are wrinkled and worn, their original color unrecognizable. His hair is a tangled mess, his beard is unshaven, and he looks utterly dejected.

He also lost weight. Because of his leg problems, he sat against the wall in a chair, looking listless and lacking energy.

While others were talking, he just stood there, lost in thought.

"Is he a superhuman?" Jing Chen said, "His physical condition is actually very strong. He only has a minor infection in his leg. You can give him some antibiotics. As long as he gets enough nutrition, the wound will heal quickly."

“I can also use my powers to heal him, but his injury has been delayed for too long. Even if he is healed, he may not be able to recover as well as before.”

Gu Jianye had been like a deflated balloon until he heard Jing Chen say that his leg could be cured. Only then did he raise his eyes and look at Jing Chen with renewed spirit.

So, she still didn't want to die. People, as long as there's even a sliver of hope, can always convince themselves to live. Mu Qingyu thought to herself.

“Okay, you can ask me for the payment for the treatment. I’ll get it back from Han Yu later,” Mu Qingyu said to Jing Chen.

Han Yu immediately retorted, "Hey, hey, hey!"

Jing Chen smiled and agreed.

Mu Qingyu gave Lü Peng and Han Yu some medicine, as well as a 50-jin bag of rice and a case of mineral water to Lü Peng. She said, "If you're going to help me, then help me to the end. Just remember to pay me back."

Lu Peng expressed his gratitude once again.

After finishing with Building 2, I went to Building 1, mainly to deliver some bed frames and blankets to Old Jiang's family. These were things salvaged from the hospital, which helped them settle down.

Mu Qingyu then returned home.

Xiao Ai and Mo Huaiyu had cleaned and tidied the first floor again, while Mu Qingrong sat on the sofa playing on her tablet.

Upon seeing Mu Qingyu return, Mu Qingrong pouted and complained, "Sister, Xiao Mo said I'm a dangerous person and I'm not allowed to go near the kitchen unless necessary!"

Mu Qingyu: "..." She didn't want to tell him that she herself had just been kicked out...

Mu Qingyu waved to Mu Qingrong: "Go ahead and see how to get a room for Xiao Ai and Xiao Mo on the first floor."

After sending Mu Qingrong away, Mu Qingyu then beckoned Mo Huaiyu over.

"Sister Xiaoyu?" Mo Huaiyu looked at Mu Qingyu with puzzled eyes.

"Do you want to kill Qin Zhaoxian?" Mu Qingyu asked him.

Mo Huaiyu's eyes changed instantly, becoming deep and resolute: "I want to! Someone like him absolutely cannot stay here!" If he stays, he will inevitably become a source of trouble!

At that point, Qin Zhaoxian's harm will likely extend beyond just him or Xiao Ai! He must be eliminated.

"Sister Xiaoyu, don't worry, give me some time, I'll find a way," Mo Huaiyu said. He wasn't just making empty promises; it would be much easier for him to get close to Qin Zhaoxian than for others, and he would always have an opportunity to make his move.

Mu Qingyu seemed to see through what Mo Huaiyu was thinking, and said, "There's no need to go to too much trouble. I have a method; you can consider it and see if it works."

Mo Huaiyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister Xiaoyu, what do you say?"

"You are a psychic ability user." Mu Qingyu tilted her head slightly to gather her thoughts: "The potential for development in the psychic field is limitless. Although the psychic field has many branches."

In my past life, there was endless debate about mental abilities. Some people believed that mental abilities were just a broad category with many branches, such as some people having mental defense, some having mental attack, and some having mind control...

Each person can only specialize in one type of ability. And this is indeed a characteristic that later on, psychic ability users exhibited.

However, there is another perspective. That is, the mental system is not specialized in a particular skill. Its strength lies in its focus on brain development. The greater the potential of the brain, the greater the growth potential of the mental system.

In simple terms, this argument means that as long as a psychic ability user develops their brain sufficiently, theoretically, they can possess any skill belonging to the psychic category.

Of course, Mu Qingyu didn't know much about mental systems. But she had always leaned towards the latter theory. And she saw a possibility in Mo Huaiyu.

"After acquiring mental exploration skills, you also comprehended mental defense on your own. If the brain is something that can be developed infinitely, then what about mental abilities?"

"Do you want to try a mental attack?" Mu Qingyu said.

"Mental attack?" Mo Huaiyu murmured these words, feeling both confused and enlightened!

Yes! Instead of racking his brains to figure out how to kill Qin Zhaoxian in the way ordinary people do, why doesn't he consider using the method he's best at?

"Give it a try. Anyway, he lives next door, very close to you, and he can't hurt you. You can completely change your mindset and treat him as your guinea pig."

"Even if we fail, it doesn't matter. If he really poses a threat, I won't stand idly by and let him grow stronger!"

“However,” Mu Qingyu reminded him, “mental skills are very delicate. I hope you will not be impatient for quick results. You need to manage your mindset and not treat Qin Zhaoxian as an opponent or someone who must be eliminated. Just treat him as a guinea pig and cherish your rare experimental subject.”

"A good mindset increases the probability of success, right?"

Mo Huaiyu had a sudden realization, like a word that awakens one from a dream!

"Sister Xiaoyu, I understand! Don't worry, I'll think it through before I start, and I'll gradually learn it. I won't rush it!"

Mu Qingyu nodded. Mo Huaiyu was a very smart child, and she thought that was enough of a reminder.

"Go ahead and work with Xiao Rong to figure out how to set up the room. Jing Chen will be over in a bit; as usual, have him check your leg. You can pay him your own fees from now on. The money I paid for you before will be deducted from your supplies this time."

Mo Huaiyu happily agreed and then turned to look for Mu Qingrong.
