The future is uncontrollable, which is great news for Yan Jue.
Not only him, he believed that anyone with a little bit of ideals and ambitions would not like a life where everything had to be arranged step by step.
But what about Ah Qing?
Yan Jue thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with being the protagonist's top brother. With the blessing of luck, although Ah Qing might experience some hardships, the final rewards would definitely be huge. Not to mention anything else, he was very satisfied with the fact that the protagonist could lead Ah Qing out of the chaotic star field and bring him back to the Stone Tribe.
However, Yan Jue found the phrase "aiming at the protagonist's goal" extremely annoying no matter how he looked at it. Whenever he saw it, he wanted to pull out the protagonist whom he had never met and beat him up.
He knew he was taking his anger out on others, but he couldn't control himself.
Yan Jue was irritated. He needed to have a good chat with Ah Qing and cultivate his ambitions. But before that, he had something to ask 91.
In order to maximize the favorability, the final condition is very straightforward and clearly stated in bold, telling the player to change the future of the cub.
Aren't the Stone Tribe searching for their goals their entire lives? The solution in the plot is that Ah Qing will follow the protagonist, but now the action of asking the player to solve his problem of having no goals clearly shows the word "interception".
Only when the favorability is full can you return to reality. To reach the full value, you must solve the problem. Once the problem is solved, Ah Qing will most likely no longer regard the protagonist's goal as his own goal, and the plot will definitely change drastically.
When Yan Jue listened to what the system said just now, he always felt that the system wanted Ah Qing to follow the plot, otherwise it would not have sent him to the planet where he met the protagonist. Wouldn't it be better to send him directly back to the Stone Tribe?
He was completely baffled by the system's inconsistent settings. So, he asked directly, "91, what about the cub's favorability? Did you set the conditions for achieving it?"
91 denied it. "No. The favorability panel is directly connected to the cub. It is generated based on the cub's feelings and cannot be changed by the system."
In other words, "finding a life goal," the top priority for the entire Stone Tribe throughout their lives, had already existed in Ah Qing's subconscious when he was still young and ignorant.
I am made of stone, but I don't want to live like a stone.
Yan Jue was shocked and speechless for a moment.
He read the biography again, and there were still many questions he wanted to ask, but then he changed his mind and decided not to ask anything. Since the contents of the biography couldn't be shared with the cub, those questions about Ah Qing's world were completely unnecessary for him to know.
No matter what is recorded in it, it will be rewritten in the future. He will just read it once and pass it. Knowing the problem with Ah Qing's favorability, he has completed the task and does not ask for anything else.
After turning off the game, Yan Jue looked up at the ceiling in silence for a moment. The sound of the expert group watching the biography live on the other end of the headset suddenly faded away, and Pan Wencheng's voice rang out: "Xiao Jue, there's something I need to tell you."
Yan Jue thought it was something serious, so he straightened up and said seriously, "Go ahead."
"Nothing much, just a quick note. The Special Management Bureau's management of the metaphysical community is officially on the agenda." Pan Wencheng smiled. "In three days, we'll set up offices within the Special Management Bureaus in several provinces. I'd like to ask the Zhang family to help spread the word so all talented individuals can register and add their special identification."
"There's no time limit for this registration, but if officials catch someone using metaphysical or cultivator powers without a license, their ID and all other documents will be blacklisted. They won't even be able to ride a bus, withdraw money from a bank, or even use payment apps."
"When they register, we'll recommend downloading the Science app. By the way, the interface for redeeming items with contribution points and all the other fancy features are already complete. Little Jue, haven't you taken a look?"
Yan Jue really didn't go to see it, "I'll go to see it later."
"Okay, it won't be long before the app starts buzzing with activity." Pan Wencheng lowered his tone. "Actually, the higher-ups were originally thinking of reconsidering registration, but paranormal activity has been increasing in the country. Luckily, we were prepared and had the Special Management Bureau handle everything as soon as it surfaced. But at this rate, there's always going to be some that slip through the net."
"So the higher-ups stopped dragging their feet and came up with a set of rules and regulations as soon as possible to facilitate management."
"Xiao Jue, be careful when you go out." Pan Wencheng began to worry. "How about I send some more people to accompany you? Although your current ability is top-notch in the country, I always feel uneasy with only one person."
"No need, I can protect myself."
Yan Jue said helplessly, "You also know that I use spiritual energy to travel when I'm in the mountains. Wouldn't it be troublesome to bring so many people? I also bought some talisman paper and other things produced by the cultivation world. If there is any danger, it is definitely not me you should worry about. Besides, fewer people will be less noticeable. Don't you agree with this?"
He was fully prepared and made sure that there would be no problems with himself and his cell phone before he dared to go out to look for spirit stone mines with someone. It was definitely not a reckless move.
Besides, just because he only brought one person doesn't mean he's alone wherever he goes. Don't think he doesn't know. The authorities have already informed the public security system that wherever he goes, there are indeed many special treatments, both overt and covert.
"Well, I can't argue with you."
Pan Wencheng reminded Yan Jue a few more times to be careful and then hung up the call.
Yan Jue went to the Science APP to take a look.
Compared to when he downloaded it, the current APP has undergone tremendous changes. The page is simple and clear, and the function buttons have been redesigned. For example, the icon on the task interface has become a small wallet. In addition, some pages are no longer blank.
Especially the Contribution page, the products there are so varied that just looking at the pictures makes people excited. But why do the products there look so familiar?
Looking at the various magic weapons, talismans, and skills of different spiritual roots and grades, Yan Jue was stunned. After careful recollection, he confirmed that he had not really bought these things and gave them to Pan Wencheng for safekeeping.
What is this, a blank check?
Looking at the Contribution Points price tag below, Yan Jue suddenly understood the meaning of the person displaying the product. Contribution Points were hard to accumulate anyway, so why not wait for someone to redeem them before letting him buy it? The points saved would be just enough for him to do something else.
It’s true... Yan Jue thanks this big brother.
The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was probably the fact that his personal identification could not be changed or hidden. With the title of "Special Management Bureau Consultant, First-Level Qi Training Monk", how could he happily hang out on the forum?
However, the cultivation level above reminded him that it was time to sprint to the second level of Qi training.
A night passed in the blink of an eye during cultivation.
Today, Yan Jue is going to the last city in Guizhou Province to search for spirit stone mines.
He couldn't rely on his spiritual power to explore at a "skimming" speed. Every time he passed a place, he had to penetrate deep into the ground or the bottom of a mountain or lake to accurately perceive it. It wasn't as slow as searching inch by inch, but rather, it was similar to searching for demonic energy, with a roughly circular range.
Yan Jue privately called his behavior "cupping China", of course, he didn't dare tell anyone else this metaphor.
Ah Qing usually comes over in the afternoon, and occasionally he will stay with him for the whole day in the morning if he has no classes. If Ah Qing is there, he will be much faster.
Ah Qing had no classes today and came early in the morning. Yan Jue was having breakfast in his hotel room at that moment and nearly choked to death on his soy milk when he saw Ah Qing.
Ah Qing hurriedly grabbed a tissue and ran over to Yan Jue's mouth, "Teacher, are you okay? Did I scare you?"
"No, no." Yan Jue took the tissue and wiped his mouth: "I was trying to speak just now and choked without paying attention. It has nothing to do with you. I wasn't scared."
He just didn't know how to bring up his goal with Ah Qing, and he couldn't face the fact that his child would be kidnapped by some hateful protagonist.
Whenever he thought of this, he felt extremely resentful.
On a distant planet thousands of dimensions away, XXX sneezed suddenly, and the part he had finally managed to grab was thrown into the crack in the ground by his shudder.
XXX: …
Ah Qing sat on the table, clueless, and looked at Yan Jue obediently: "Teacher, where are we going today?"
Yan Jue had already planned the route: "Let's go into the mountains and cross a mountain range to reach the next city."
"Okay!" Ah Qing raised her hands and cupped her cheeks to act cute. "Then can I sit on top of your head? I'll be careful not to hurt your scalp."
How could Yan Jue not agree to his request? After agreeing, he packed his things and asked the soldier who was protecting him to go to the next city to wait for him. He then went into the mountains with Ah Qing, traveling light.
Pulling Ah Qing out of his coat pocket and placing her on his head, Yan Jue released his spiritual power to search while he pondered how to start the conversation. After much deliberation, he finally decided to ask directly. After all, if he spoke too euphemistically, Ah Qing wouldn't understand what he meant.
"Ah Qing."
Ah Qing turned his head and looked around, squinting his eyes and sniffing the air around him, while answering: "Ah Qing is here!"
Hearing this energetic response, Yan Jue felt relieved and asked with a faint smile: "A Qing, is there anything you want to do?"
"I want to accompany the teacher to find some delicious spirit stone mines!"
"That doesn't count. I'm asking what you want to do in the future." Yan Jue said patiently, "Is there anything you're interested in? Singing, dancing, handicrafts, fighting... Is there anything you'd like to do when you're alone?"
"It has nothing to do with other people. It's just what you like and what you want to do."
Ah Qing tilted his head in confusion, and his hands, which were holding Yan Jue's two strands of hair to stabilize his body, loosened unconsciously. After he was almost knocked down by inertia, he tightened his grip again.
Rubbing his hair and scalp sheepishly, Ah Qing shook his head: "No. Teacher, I can't think of anything I would do if I were alone."
"If I were on the planet where I was born, I would tell the teacher that finding enough ore is what I would do every day. After coming here, the kindergarten is great, the teachers and Brother Nor Zhuofeng are all very nice, and I am very, very happy every day."
Ah Qing had a bright smile on her face: "Now I can tell you, teacher, what I look forward to most every day is tomorrow!"
