After Noel shared his joy and Zhuo Feng said that the Fox Tribe was "completely under his control", Yan Jue explained why he had asked them to come with him this time.
After capturing Bifang, Yan Jue returned to Guizhou Province and reunited with the people who went to Dongshan to explore the spirit stone mine, and helped to determine the scope of the spirit stone mine as an outside worker.
He imagined his work would be intense, with him running around the mountains all day. In reality, he simply stayed in the village, waiting for the professionals to determine a range. Then he would use his aura to sense if they had made any mistakes. The reason for this was thanks to the aura detector.
While the current version of the detector still has a few minor flaws, the staff are making adjustments as they go along, and with Yan Jue's assistance, it's believed that the detector will soon be completely stable. At that point, Yan Jue can also leave this temporary job and move on to the next step.
Now that he has less work to do, Yan Jue has time to think carefully about the issue of Ah Qing's favorability.
The stagnation of favorability meant that Ah Qing had some problems that he couldn't detect, or even Ah Qing himself didn't know about. Yan Jue had observed him for several days and couldn't find anything wrong, so he called Noel and Zhuo Feng to come over and ask, wanting to see if they, who often played with Ah Qing, had discovered anything.
"Have you heard from Ah Qing what troubles he has?" Yan Jue asked.
The two cubs frowned and thought hard, and finally shook their heads in unison.
Zhuo Feng asked, "What happened to Ah Qing?"
He found it hard to imagine what troubles innocent and naive Ah Qing could have that even the teacher couldn't detect. Could that little stone man have such deep thoughts hidden within him?
The kids didn't know about the favorability issue, and Yan Jue was intentionally keeping it a secret, so he said vaguely, "I don't know. I just felt that Ah Qing was worried, but it was difficult to ask him, so I thought I'd ask you guys if you had any clues."
"Something on his mind?" Noel was shocked. "Qing and I were having so much fun together, but he actually has something on his mind? Could it be that he's just putting on a smile just to play with me?"
All of this can be connected. Divergent thinking is not good. Yan Jue quickly explained: "No. I just felt it these past two days. Nuo Er, you are not here, how can it be related to you? It has nothing to do with Zhuo Feng either."
Hearing that it had nothing to do with him, Noel breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest exaggeratedly, tilted his head and said, "Is he missing home?"
"Zhuofeng and I have returned to our own worlds these past few days and haven't been able to play with him. Maybe he feels lonely and that he can't go back, so he's worried? But this isn't something we can decide. Ah Qing needs to study hard before he can go back."
This is what Noel could think of, and it is the most likely thought that Ah Qing would have.
Zhuo Feng and Noel were completely different. He calculated the time Ah Qing had spent in kindergarten and said, "Is Ah Qing afraid of returning to the real world? Is there something in his world that threatens his safety? He hasn't seen it, but he feels it. So after living in kindergarten for a while, he feels a little uneasy about returning."
"Perhaps the teacher can tell him that the time in kindergarten flows at the same speed as time in his own world. Perhaps when he returns, the thing that threatens him will no longer be there."
Yan Jue was distressed.
Zhuo Feng's story was somewhat similar to Ah Qing's, but if that was the cause, how could he solve it? He also had no idea where Ah Qing would end up after being thrown from the spaceship. If he wanted to know, he had to ask 91 or unlock the character's biography.
Privately, he was somewhat resistant to the second biography, which was most likely to point to the future of the baby.
What kind of person would know the future in advance and be chosen to be saved by a system created by laws?
He could give dozens of answers to this question, but no matter which one, he couldn't help but prepare for the worst as usual.
"I'll give it a try." Yan Jue said timidly, "But can you also help the teacher find out, okay? There are some things Ah Qing may not want to tell me, but she will share them with her friends."
Let’s take a roundabout route first, and if that doesn’t work, ask 91.
Noel and Zhuofeng nodded in agreement. They also cared about their little friend Aqing.
Yan Jue briefly told the two cubs about the new and strange things happening in his world, and only stopped when Zhuo Feng apologized and said he had to go back. Zhuo Feng said that he came here this morning under the pretext of training, not to retreat. If the fox tribe had something to ask him, it would be bad if he didn't respond for a long time.
Nuoer subconsciously said goodbye to Zhuo Feng first, then realized what was going on and said with a sad face, "Ah, you haven't seen the gift I gave to the teacher yet. It's so beautiful."
Hearing the word "gift," Zhuo Feng's body stiffened, but then he said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I'll just ask the teacher to show me next time I come. If we meet, you can also explain it to me. I'll listen carefully."
"Goodbye, teacher. Goodbye, Noel." Zhuo Feng slipped away quickly.
Yan Jue raised an eyebrow and joked, "Noel wants to give me a gift? It's so beautiful?"
Noel nodded, not understanding the hidden meaning. "Yes, yes, it's really beautiful. You can't use the beast bone that Zhuofeng gave you, but this one of mine will definitely let you use it right now!"
Zhuo Feng had good intentions in giving Yan Jue the Snake-Eye Beast, but in the end, he and Zhuo Feng reluctantly gave up on the idea of using the Snake-Eye Beast's bones as weapons. Why? Because the bones were so incredibly hard that none of China's available machinery could break them.
Although Zhuo Feng could give him another spirit sword, how could a family use a medium-grade or above spirit sword to chop bones, not to mention using it as a weapon? The prerequisite was to cut the huge animal bones into a handy shape bit by bit. Yan Jue felt sorry for the spirit sword.
There are currently no monsters or demons that pose a major threat to China, nor are there many talented people who are stronger than him. If there is a real situation, hot weapons are much more useful than cold weapons and are less conspicuous, so the weapons have been put aside for the time being.
Now Noel said he wanted to give him a gift, and it sounded like it was a weapon? Yan Jue thought he could look forward to it. Weapons and such were not important; what was important was that he wanted to see how truly unique Noel's aesthetic taste was.
Yan Jue opened the gift in front of Noel.
The first thing that caught his eye was a small tape recorder covered in a waterproof bag. Yan Jue felt a strange feeling when he picked up the tape recorder that looked so familiar. If he was not mistaken, this should be the one that Noel asked him for two days ago, right?
"This is?"
"I recorded songs that have been passed down from ancient times by our mermaid tribe. My mother's singing is included in the recording. This is the first song."
Noel puffed out his chest proudly. "The songs are all sung by adult mermaids. Their attack power is far stronger than mine! If the teacher only listens to me reciting poetry, he'll get tired of it after a while. So I specially recorded a lot of songs for the teacher to rotate through."
"Teacher, do you think my weapon is better than Scorching Wind's? It can be used right after it's played, and it doesn't need to be polished. It's just not as durable, but I believe that's not a big problem, right?"
It's really not a big problem, but I'm afraid no one except the mermaids can listen to the whole song. Just like the poem that Noel recited, Yan Jue still doesn't know what the third sentence is.
"Noel is thoughtful." Despite his complaints, Yan Jue thanked him sincerely: "I will use it when the time is right."
For example, when he suffers from insomnia, oh no, for example, when he feels uncomfortable using weapons.
Noel was happy. He pulled out another wooden box and pushed it in front of Yan Jue. He said a little embarrassedly, "I thought the recording was too simple, so I just picked one up as a gift..."
"It's okay. The recording is valuable enough. The gift..." Yan Jue opened the box casually, his eyes almost blinded by the light. "I like the gift too."
A short dagger with a scabbard made of unknown material. He couldn't see the material of the dagger, he could only see colorful gems of various shapes on it.
Is this a fucking gift?
Yan Jue swallowed his saliva, looked at Noel, who looked like he was not up to the task, and silently drew out his dagger. The blade was a milky white, thin as a cicada's wing, and it shone faintly, looking like a work of art.
He reached out curiously to touch the blade, but after Noel reminded him it was "very sharp," he didn't bother. The handle was a matching silver, with anti-slip grooves on it, making it impossible to tell what material it was made of.
When asked, Noel didn't know either, and just said that he took it casually from his father's treasure house.
After putting away the dagger, Yan Jue thanked Noel again. Verbal thanks were not enough to express his feelings. He didn't know what to give as a physical gift. He asked Noel in distress, but all he got was "I'll tell you when I remember it."
"I already have so much, so much, that I don't even know what I want anymore." Noel frowned, but his eyes were filled with happiness. "Teacher, whether it's in reality, in kindergarten, or in your world, I feel very happy. This is enough."
Yan Jue couldn't help but smile.
After seeing Noel off and seeing that Ah Qing was still in class, Yan Jue sat cross-legged to practice.
Even though they asked Noel and Zhuo Feng to help find out if Ah Qing had any troubles, the three of them didn't find out anything until the spiritual energy detector stabilized and Yan Jue was about to leave the village.
No matter how I asked Ah Qing, his response was always that he was fine, with nothing to fear or worry about. He didn't miss home, and certainly not the tribes he'd never met. He was curious, but he truly didn't miss them. Even the planet he'd always lived on was completely indifferent to him.
Yan Jue had asked 91 before, but since it was related to the cub, 91 naturally refused to say anything. The points he could get from talking about it were almost equal to the points needed to unlock the biography. If he had the time, he might as well just unlock it directly.
While hesitating, he took Ah Qing on a journey across the country.
The expert group has confirmed that there is a spirit stone mine in Dongshan. Although it is surprising that the "mine" is not underground but in the mountain, on the other hand, it also proves the peculiarity of the spirit stone mine and opens their minds.
And if there is one, doesn’t that mean there is another one?
Therefore, the task of finding the spirit stone mine, until the spirit detector can be mass-produced and there are enough people to work on it, temporarily fell on Yan Jue. Yan Jue embarked on the journey, and after hearing the content of the mission, Ah Qing also happily expressed his desire to join in the fun.
Finding food is not a difficult task for the Stone Tribe.
The same was true for Yan Jue. As a monk, he was immune to cold and heat; in other words, his body temperature was constant. He wasn't so cold he'd wear short sleeves even in the Arctic Circle, but he wasn't particularly bothered by the weather. Plus, his points were rapidly increasing as he stopped and walked along the way, making him even more excited.
On the third day of the journey, Yan Jue, who had communicated with Pan Wencheng and others, decided to unlock the second biography of Ah Qing.
The author has something to say:
