Lu family head
The weather is clear and the air is bright, perfect for exercise and meditation.
Shi Youchen sat cross-legged by the window, concluding a half-hour of meditation. His eyelashes fluttered slightly as he slowly opened his eyes. Meditation was a long-standing habit of his grandmother, and Shi Youchen had grown up beside her, absorbing her and learning the art of quieting his mind.
New message prompt: "Want to take a test? - Be tolerant of those with poor brains"
Shi Youchen replied indifferently: "No, there's no need."
"No, there's no need. - The smart and bold beauty who is afraid of stupidity." Ying Yungui kept staring at the message box after sending the message, so he saw Shi Youchen's reply at the first time.
"No need???" He carefully thought out the reason, and this was the answer he got?
Ying Yungui frowned and paced back and forth in the Information Department hall, muttering to himself, "I waited all night to send you a message. I wanted you to rest a little longer, and you treated me like this!"
As soon as Yan Zhiyuan went downstairs, he saw this man, who was well-dressed, but running around like an abandoned puppy.
"There's no need to be so nervous, right?" He thought Ying Yungui was worried about Lu Ming's test. After all, the test for a level 8 mutant was quite complicated and it would take at least an hour or two to complete.
Ying Yungui felt strange when she heard Yan Zhiyuan's words. The other person's eyes seemed to be comforting her husband outside the delivery room.
"I'm not worried about Uncle Lu. He doesn't need me to worry about him." He curled his lips, feeling annoyed, and was thinking about how to call Shi Youchen out.
Yan Zhiyuan was confused: "Then why are you crawling all over the floor like a shrimp?"
"?" Ying Yungui glared at him, then thought of something and became immediately attentive. "Good brother! Do me a favor!"
Yan Zhiyuan shook off the hand on his shoulder and looked around to make sure Lin Zhouze was not nearby.
"If you have something to say, please talk nicely and don't touch me. Also, I'm almost a generation older than you, so you should at least call me brother, right?"
Ying Yungui folded his hands and said in amazement, "Why are you becoming more and more stingy? In the past, you... Forget it, let's get down to business. Do you have any way to call Shi Youchen out?"
Yan Zhiyuan: "Let him do a test. Hasn't it been so long since he completed the mission?"
Ying Yungui rolled his eyes. "I've already asked, and he didn't even have a role in our previous mission! How could he possibly gain any experience?"
"There's no place for him to take action? Then who will take action?" Yan Zhiyuan asked expressionlessly.
"Me! Oh, and that kid named Lu, he did get some good training." Ying Yungui admitted reluctantly, recalling how Lu Quezhi had been busy from the start of the D-level mission to the end of the subsequent investigation, and had even fainted once.
Yan Zhiyuan looked at Ying Yungui like he was a fool: "Then let Lu Quezhi do the test and ask him to call Shi Youchen."
Ying Yungui took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide: "That makes sense!"
After Shi Youchen finished his meditation, he was thinking about Lu Quezhi when he happened to receive a call from him.
...
Ying Yungui saw the two figures entering the room, straightened his clothes, and walked forward with a smile: "What a coincidence, seeing you... here."
Yan Zhiyuan: ...
Shi Youchen: ...
Lu Quezhi: Didn’t you send me a message suggesting I come?
"I accompanied him to do a test." Shi Youchen explained.
Yan Zhiyuan said: "The main test room is in use, you can go to the backup one."
Lu Quezhi nodded obediently: "Okay." Then he walked to the spare testing room next to him.
As Shi Youchen watched them walk away, he turned to Yan Zhiyuan and said, "We didn't finish discussing this last time. I'd like to pick a time to continue. When are you and Lin Zhouze free?"
He wanted to tell them about his previous speculation with Ying Yungui, and at the same time discuss the ability of mental invasion.
Ying Yungui, who was left out, said: "It seems like you and I haven't finished discussing something yet."
Shi Youchen glanced at him, as if asking "What's wrong with you?"
Yan Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to assist with the test soon. Lin Zhouze went to Area 3 for exchanges. I'm afraid he won't be back for more than half a month."
"Then we'll have to do it another day." Shi Youchen didn't feel particularly regretful. He could investigate on his own during this time before Lin Zhouze came back.
Yan Zhiyuan nodded, checked the time and said to the two of them, "I'll go first. See you later."
Shi Youchen and Ying Yungui were the only two people left in the hall. Shi Youchen looked at Yan Zhiyuan's back and asked, "Doesn't the auxiliary test need to be done in the test room?"
Ying Yungui looked at him while he was watching others and said, "The testing of high-level psychics cannot be solved in just a testing room."
When Shi Youchen heard the words "high-level psychic", this was the closest he had been to a high-level psychic since his awakening.
"He's the uncle next door. I came here with him to do the test today." Ying Yungui explained patiently.
Shi Youchen knew this was no ordinary uncle next door; he was probably from a large family, perhaps even the head of a clan. The two chatted idly for a while, and after a while, Lu Quezhi came out.
He was beaming, overjoyed, writing something on the electronic screen as he walked briskly towards Shi Youchen and Ying Yungui. "My energy fluctuations are almost reaching level 3. I should be able to break through soon!" His eyes shone, making his face look even rosier.
Shi Youchen: "Congratulations in advance, what are your plans for the future?"
Lu Quezhi said happily, "I plan to go back and see how my mother is doing before the next mission, so that I can have a better idea of what to do."
Ying Yungui said, "You won't have much time. I don't plan to let you rest for long."
Lu Quezhi was rarely intimidated by his words. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll be leaving for my hometown soon. I should be back tomorrow night!"
Shi Youchen asked, "Where is your hometown?"
Lu Quezhi: "X City, I will try to go there early and come back early."
"Okay, say hello to my aunt for me." Shi Youchen thought for a moment. Lu Quezhi's actions were his own will, and his mother shouldn't be implicated. So, at least until the truth was revealed, he should be concerned about his colleague's seriously ill mother, not suspicious.
Lu Quezhi glanced at the time and said goodbye to the two: "Youchen, thank you for coming with me. I don't have enough money to apply for the association's vehicle yet, so I have to hurry back. See you another day!"
Shi Youchen and Ying Yungui looked at his departing back, each with different thoughts in their minds.
"Do you want to go and meet my uncle?" Ying Yungui suddenly asked.
Shi Youchen was stunned: "I don't know him. It would be impolite to go there rashly. Forget it."
"I'm not being rash. He also said he wanted to see my partner. This is a rare opportunity. Are you really not going?" Ying Yungui has always been eloquent, but at this moment he didn't know how to convince Shi Youchen.
Seeing him visibly wilting, Shi Youchen's heart sank with alarm. If someone like him, who usually acts aggressively, becomes disheartened, it's likely to be a disaster down the road. Thinking he might have to team up with him for a while longer, Shi Youchen made a difficult decision: "I might as well go and say hello to the senior."
Ying Yungui's face lit up again, and he smiled with his teeth showing: "Then let's go to his testing site."
The two of them left the information building and headed north to a large plaza within the association's base. It was arranged like a large city park, surrounded by fences made of special materials, and only those with special abilities could enter.
The door was open at this moment, and it said "Part of the area is under testing, please be careful."
Shi Youchen had seen this place on the map on his bracelet, but this was his first time here.
"This means that a part of the area inside is being used for testing, reminding us to maintain a safe distance." Ying Yungui explained, then verified his identity information on the instrument next to the door. "The defense system here is very advanced. The special bracelet for psychics is the key to enter and exit."
So Shi Youchen also scanned his identity information and the two of them entered together.
"I don't know where their testing area is, let's walk and take a look first." In fact, they could wait for people to come out at the door, but Ying Yungui just wanted to take a walk with him.
Shi Youchen didn't mind walking more, he just treated it as daily exercise.
The two walked side by side at a distance, passed through lakes and dense forests, and returned from darkness to light. Finally, on an autumn path, they met Yan Zhiyuan who was walking towards them.
His gentle face was a little pale, and even his steps were a little unsteady. After seeing Shi Youchen and Ying Yungui, he said to them, "Assisted testing is really not something a human can do." Then he pointed behind him and said, "Over there is the test area. It just ended. Mr. Lu is still in there."
Ying Yungui teased him: "Has it come to this? Old Yan, I think you lack practical experience."
Yan Zhiyuan didn't have the energy to argue with him. He nodded at Shi Youchen and continued walking forward. He just wanted to go back and rest.
Ying Yungui spread his hands and said to Shi Youchen, "Let's go. Since the test is over, I'll take you to see it before the domain is taken back."
Shi Youchen has always been curious about what the real domain looks like, but he didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain on this trip.
There was nothing special about the scene ahead, and there was nothing extra in the sky, but as the two walked, a hint came:
"You have entered 'Copy No. 172AA112'."
Then Shi Youchen saw a middle-aged man sitting in a small pavilion in the lake in front of him. He was throwing handfuls of fish food and smiling as he watched the fish scrambling to emerge from the water.
"Uncle Lu." Ying Yungui greeted the man first, then took Shi Youchen to sit on the stone bench, "This is my partner, Shi Youchen."
"Hello, Mr. Lu." Shi Youchen said politely.
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Shi Youchen, sighing, "What a handsome young man! He's much more reserved and steady than Yun Gui."
"I don't deserve it."
"I heard from Yun Gui that your mission went so smoothly because of your meticulous thinking and planning. You are amazing."
Shi Youchen looked at Ying Yungui. The man had a frank look in his eyes, as if he had completely forgotten the sarcastic incident in the bar.
"You're exaggerating. I just thought more about it. It's not as exaggerated as he said."
Lu Ming: "Yun Gui is a man of his own ideas, so naturally, the people he agrees with will be good too. In short, if you encounter any difficulties or troubles in the future, you can ask the Lu family for help. I am always happy to help children with potential."
Shi Youchen could tell that Lu Ming had made the interests involved very clear - it was because he was considered talented and had potential that he was able to receive such a promise from Lu Ming, and he was also grateful for Ying Yungui's recognition of him.
Shi Youchen didn't like the feeling of being looked down upon. But since Lu Ming was the head of the Lu family and a rare high-level psychic, he must have always been admired and respected.
Such an attitude is expected.
Shi Youchen said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. It's my honor."
Lu Ming smiled with satisfaction, stood up, patted the two on the shoulders, and said with emotion: "This world will belong to you young people one day, work hard." After that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
"You have left 'Copy 172AA112'."
After Lu Ming walked away, he heard the bracelet prompt: "Instance number 172AA112, recovered successfully."
He narrowed his eyes in pleasure, stood still, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "Lao Mo, I solved a big problem for you. It's not too much to charge you a little interest."
He remembered something and couldn't help laughing out loud, then walked away with shaking shoulders.
In the small pavilion, after Lu Ming left, Shi Youchen wanted to discuss something with Ying Yungui, but suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. Ying Yungui wanted to tell Shi Youchen something, but also forgot how to start.
So the two of them stared at each other for a long time, and then Shi Youchen said, "Let's go back."
Ying Yungui: "Well, I will pick a suitable mission and wait for Lu Quezhi to come back before setting off. Is that okay?"
Shi Youchen replied: "Whatever, I have nothing to do anyway."
Ying Yungui smiled: "It's really strange that you have nothing to do."
After the two left together, a group of fish floated on the surface of the lake, their bellies turned upside down, and they had been dead for a long time.
