Chapter 272 This world's emotional ability activation point is just like this...
The emotional ability activation points thus quietly spread from urban neighborhoods to street offices in small towns, and then to village committees in villages, little by little.
Those who were not destined to cultivate immortality finally found their place under this magical ability.
Compared to the cultivation of immortality that requires serious effort, it seems that supernatural abilities, which can be directly activated, are more suitable for many ordinary people who have little ambition.
"Finally, I don't have to envy you guys anymore~" Whether it's university or elementary school, there are always immature kids showing off to each other.
“Minmin, you have the ability to sympathize. I’ve heard that people with this ability are healers. You’ll definitely become a great doctor.” They celebrated to each other.
"Bro, that's awesome! With that ability, you could get a job in our school's lab right away." They complimented each other.
"What kind of cultivation abilities do you think the country will announce next?" Some people also expressed their hopes for the future.
"I hope it's an elemental power like wind, fire, thunder, or lightning!"
"I'd like it to be like Western magic, with someone waving a magic wand~"
"I hope there are more types of cultivation novels~"
"I hope I can go to the moon someday!"
"You can go tomorrow." Before the boy could finish speaking, their teacher's voice came from behind him.
"Teacher Xu~!" The boy turned around in surprise to look at his teacher, then realized what she had just said and exclaimed happily, "Me?!"
Teacher Xu nodded: "Our class has been selected for this day trip to the moon. We're leaving in three days. Go back and get ready."
"Wow!!!" The seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school students cheered like eleven or twelve-year-old children, making the whole roof seem to fall off.
Since Dongguo built a base on the moon, they have been selecting three classes of students from primary and secondary schools across the country for a one-day trip to the moon every year for the past two years.
To ensure fairness, all selections are conducted by the AI. Selected classes cannot participate in subsequent selections. Only after all schools across the country have gone through the selection process will a class enter the pool. It's fair to say that some students may never have participated in a single selection from kindergarten to graduation.
“Some children will be coming to visit tomorrow. If you find it noisy, stay inside and don’t go out.” Since Sang Lezhi unexpectedly became pregnant with her second child, she and her husband discussed that he would choose to retire from the military and stay home to take care of the children.
A while ago, my child was sick and my husband hadn't officially retired from the military yet, so I had to take care of him myself. However, I almost scared my husband half to death because of Sang Zhitao's situation. A couple of days ago, I finally managed to get his retirement sorted out after a lot of rushing around.
This finally gave Sun Lezhi time to return to the moon and continue his research on soybeans.
"Is it okay for my brother-in-law to be home alone?" Sang Zhitao was a little worried, thinking about the unreliable videos of stay-at-home dads she had watched.
Sang Lezhi waved his hand dismissively: "The eldest is already in kindergarten, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. The second child is also a low-needs baby."
Seeing the worry still on her younger sister's face, Sang Lezhi smiled and said, "Look at those men on the internet who use unreliable dads as a gimmick. Most of them are irresponsible. How could a responsible person not take good care of their child?"
After saying this, Sang Lezhi paused, looked at Sang Zhitao for a long time, and then sighed: "I've always wanted to say sorry to you."
Sang Zhitao was drinking her special milk tea when she heard her words and looked confused: "Huh?"
Sang Lezhi turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling window, where the crater was reflected in the sky. To make Sang Zhitao comfortable, they deliberately set up the base in a slightly remote location, so that one of the floor-to-ceiling windows in Sang Zhitao's large apartment could see the crater and the Earth in the distance.
"Looking back now, I realize that I took the spirit stone you brought directly to the lab for experiments, and later handed you over to the government without your consent. I never considered what might happen. What if they didn't think it was what I expected? What if you were in danger? What if the spirit stone was important to you? What if you never grew up again..."
Sang Lezhi's voice gradually faded.
"Before becoming a mother, I always felt that the national interest was above all else, and that it would be worth it even if it cost me my life. But I forgot that I shouldn't have decided where your life would end on my own."
"After becoming a mother, I kept thinking that if my mother knew about my choice back then, she would definitely blame me..."
Sang Zhitao sighed softly, placed the milk tea on the coffee table, sat down next to Sang Lezhi, and put her arm around her shoulder: "Sister must have felt that she had finally helped the country back then."
"my country has always relied on imports for soybeans. At that time, Country A was planning to join other countries to raise tariffs on our soybeans, but domestic research had not been able to make a breakthrough. You must have been under a lot of pressure, right?"
Sang Lezhi silently lowered his head, looking at his palm.
Her hands didn't look like those of someone her age; instead, they resembled those of a seventy-year-old farmer, covered in cracks and dark marks left by years of contact with the soil that couldn't be cleaned off.
She was raised by the country until adulthood, and when she was admitted to university, after learning about the regret of Professor Dou's passing, she devoted herself to this subject without hesitation.
From that day on, she put everything behind her.
“If I were the older sister, I might have made the same choice, like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood.” Sang Zhitao sighed. “And…”
"We had been separated for far too many years. The only remaining kinship was the regret for our parents and the obsession with each other. Under such circumstances, it's hard to say how much affection remained. Such affection can hardly compare to the place of the country in our hearts."
Seeing that conventional comforting words failed to appease Sang Lezhi, Sang Zhitao chuckled and said.
Sang Lezhi stiffened, then chuckled softly, "Yes... back then..."
She didn't say it aloud, but silently agreed with Sang Zhitao's statement.
"Professor Zeng once told me that you encountered freezing rain once. In order to protect the soybean seedlings, you stayed in the freezing rain all night and desperately laid out temporary shelters for the seedlings. In the end, you developed a fever of 40 degrees Celsius and almost died of pneumonia."
“Yes…” Sang Lezhi recalled her past self, when she buried herself in that land with a heart full of passion, just to find a way to survive in the land.
“So, no one will blame you, not even my brother.” Sang Zhitao held Sang Lezhi’s hand and said seriously, “Regardless of whether I was in danger at the time, I would not have blamed you.”
“Actually, I’ve wanted to tell you this for a long time…” Sang Lezhi sighed, “but I was always interrupted, and then you went to the world of superpowers and it took you so long to come back.”
Sang Zhitao also sighed. She hadn't expected that she would stay in the world of superpowers for nearly three years before returning.
There were other worlds in the past with time exactly the same as Earth's, but she returned to those worlds more often and for shorter periods of time, and never felt as uncomfortable as she does in this world with superpowers.
"What will the next world be like?" Sang Lezhi glanced at his sister, touched her hair, and finally a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
“It should be a magical world.” Sang Zhitao’s eyes swept across the void. “I might return to this world soon.”
In the celestial realm beyond the void, countless orbs of light floated in mid-air, radiating rays of light that all converged into the most dazzling orb.
Several beams of light were drawn from that single sphere of light, entering some other spheres filled with a grayish hue. As the largest sphere of light fed back its energy, the grayish hue on those spheres was striving to absorb this energy and then expel the grayish hue from its own world.
In one corner of many spheres of light, a small, grayish-black sphere, only a third the size of the others, was struggling to squeeze through the gaps in the larger spheres to the front, hoping to be seen by the largest sphere and receive some energy back.
Unfortunately, the gap was too small, so small that even though it was only a third the size of others, it still couldn't pass through.
Finally, it could only exert all its strength to squeeze out a thin, grayish-white line from its body and slowly move towards the largest sphere of light.
The largest sphere of light sensed its presence and instinctively drew out a beam of light, which quickly flew through the gaps between the many spheres of light to its front and entered its body.
"Failed again?" Zhen finally awoke from her slumber. She glanced indifferently at a broken ball of light that was repairing its barrier with the energy feedback from the Mulberry Peach.
Since leaving with severe injuries, she has not been able to enter the world for a long time. The first two worlds she tried to enter using clones both failed, and not only that, they also aggravated her injuries.
Left with no other choice, she withdrew her powers and simply used her own strength to pollute the world, even forcibly extracting the power of the world that she had previously polluted.
Unexpectedly, a dilapidated world that she had almost abandoned was able to regain its vitality with the help of Sang Zhi Tao's power.
She clutched her chest, forcefully suppressing the force emanating from beneath her skirt.
Looking at the increasingly abundant energy of the dazzling sphere belonging to Earth, her expression hardened, and her gaze swept to the farthest corner, where a huge black sphere of light lay lifelessly abandoned.
He gave a cold laugh and flew directly into the black sphere of light.
"Since we've been delayed for so long, why don't we go have some fun on Earth?" Sang Zhitao rarely came out of her room that day, and she happened to run into Li Mingguo, who had come to handle some business.
Sang Zhitao quickly waved her hands in refusal: "No, no, no need, I really like my life right now."
Every day, the AI robot retrieves the special food prepared for her from the kitchen. After she wakes up, it helps her wash up, sets out the food, and then listens to her commands, such as opening her favorite novel or playing her favorite game.
The novel will mark the parts that she dislikes as offensive.
She likes spoilers, so the AI helps her extract the ending of the story in advance.
The game will help her figure out how to make better use of the pile of resources she has accumulated in her backpack that she doesn't know how to use more efficiently.
Simply put, living like a useless person perfectly satisfied her desire to stay at home.
On a whim, she even logged into the Second World for a shopping spree. Whether it was jewelry worth millions or handmade items by niche designers, she would buy anything that caught her eye. After all, her current dividend savings were enough for her to squander for a thousand years, not to mention the large dividends that the country regularly deposited into her account every year.
It's fair to say that her current cash flow is something that even the world's richest person or some old Western wealthy families couldn't produce.
She doesn't want to go out at all, living such a relaxed life.
Seeing her unwilling expression, Li Mingguo could only shake his head helplessly: "Fine, whatever makes you happy."
Sang Zhitao yawned, sat in a custom-made, super-comfortable wheelchair, and let her intelligent robot push her to the newly opened shopping mall on the moon.
