"Alright, it's almost time to leave work, let's call it a day."

Qin Feng's voice was ethereal, as if it came from a distant region, which startled Lu Ning awake.

In Lu Ning's perception, only a few seconds had passed, but he didn't expect that two hours had already passed so quickly.

The process of refining his spiritual power seemed to make him forget the passage of time.

Qin Feng, with his hands behind his back and his body hunched over, smiled and said, "How is it? Can you sense the mental radiation?"

Wei Xuan and Qiu Yuelin shook their heads in disappointment.

Qin Feng looked at Wang Qiwen, who was a little embarrassed after making such boastful remarks earlier. He said, "I was just a little short. If I had a little more time, I would definitely have been able to successfully sense it!"

Qin Feng chuckled: "Young man, don't be too arrogant."

Then Qin Feng looked at Lu Ning: "How are you?"

Lu Ning nodded and said calmly, "I have successfully sensed it."

"What? Really? How did you get here so fast??" Wang Qiwen was already feeling a bit embarrassed by what Qin Feng said, but when he heard Lu Ning's words, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Even Wei Xuan and Qiu Yuelin looked at Lu Ning with surprise.

Qin Feng was also a little surprised, but only slightly. He glanced at Wang Qiwen and said, "It's nothing, don't make a fuss."

He then looked at Lu Ning and said, "Given your special circumstances, this is normal. Now that you've successfully sensed it, you'll need to start trying to absorb mental radiation and finally refine it. These two steps are more difficult than sensing it, and may take some time. You can try it yourself when you get back."

Lu Ning replied, "I have already begun to temper my mental power."

The air fell silent for a moment.

The four of them, including Qin Feng, looked at Lu Ning as if he were some kind of monster.

Qin Feng was shocked and said, "You said you've already started tempering your spiritual power?! Is that a ghost?! How could it be so fast? How is that possible?"

Lu Ning asked doubtfully, "Is this difficult?"

Wei Xuan and the other two: "???"

They gaped, speechless, unsure how to respond.

Wang Qiwen, in particular, turned bright red, and even his breathing became somewhat difficult.

Qin Feng's face also flushed red, and he roared in a low voice, "...Isn't it difficult?! You've only just started learning the mental tempering method! How many people need to spend several weeks or even a month or two to reach the stage of tempering mental radiation?! Isn't this difficult?!"

Wang Qiwen's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy as he asked, "Lu Ning, how did you do that? How could you have mastered it so quickly?"

Wei Xuan and Qiu Yuelin also looked at Lu Ning with curiosity.

Lu Ning thought for a moment, then said, "After listening to Elder Qin's words, I did as he instructed, and then I succeeded."

Qin Feng and the other three fell silent.

"...That's it? There's no special method or anything?" Wang Qiwen was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Lu Ning thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I think what Elder Qin said is quite simple, I can just do it myself."

There was an awkward moment, then Qin Feng coughed and said, "Perhaps this is related to Lu Ning's special circumstances."

He then looked at Wang Qiwen and the other two, who seemed to be having some existential doubts, and comforted them, saying, "I'll say it again, Lu Ning is special, you don't need to think about being like him."

Wang Qiwen and the other two came to their senses and nodded helplessly.

"Alright, you've all worked hard today. That's enough for the lesson. We'll continue tomorrow morning. You can go find that kid Lin Xiao on the third floor now." Qin Feng waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Lu Ning and the other two nodded, said goodbye to Qin Feng, and left the room.

Watching the departing figures, Qin Feng muttered to himself, "...There are such geniuses. No need to worry about mental pollution. The tempering method is progressing so smoothly, developing their abilities shouldn't be too difficult either. Hiss...Is this perhaps the potential of a demigod? It's just that their origins are a bit too unreliable."

Qin Feng then shook his head, continued to lie in the rocking chair, and picked up a magazine about beautiful women to read: "Why bother with so much? Since the higher-ups all believe he is not in danger, then there's no need to think about it anymore."

…………

As they went upstairs, Wang Qiwen and the other two looked at Lu Ning as if she were a giant panda.

Lu Ning completely ignored their gazes and stared blankly into space.

They arrived at the captain's office on the third floor and found the door open, with Lin Xiao sitting inside watching TV.

The scene depicts the heartbreaking separation of a devoted couple.

Lin Xiao's eyes were red, and she silently wiped away her tears with a tissue, completely unaware that Lu Ning and the other three had come over.

Wei Xuan knocked on the door, and Lin Xiao trembled, startled.

He tossed the tissue into the trash can, his expression shifting dramatically to seriousness: "Is today's class over?"

"Report to the captain, it's over!" Wei Xuan stood ramrod straight.

"No need to be so polite." Lin Xiao waved his hand, silently took out a cigarette, but put it back after seeing Qiu Yuelin.

He then clicked his tongue and said, "Our branch's usual working hours are 10 am to 6 pm. However, considering the special nature of our work, two action team members need to be on duty every night to prevent any accidents from happening. Other team members who are resting also need to keep their phones on to avoid being unable to contact anyone in case of emergencies. Although you are not formal members now, you have joined the action team and also need to be on duty at night. Tonight, Wei Xuan and I will be on duty, and the rest of you can go home."

At this point, Lin Xiao paused and looked at Lu Ning, saying, "By the way, Lu Ning, you don't have money to rent a place yet, right? You can stay in the staff lounge on the fourth floor for now. Once you get your salary, you can rent a place outside."
