Chapter 136 Bone Beads
Liu Zhan had just been polite out of habit, but after hearing what Chen Chuan said, he didn't seem unnatural at all. He was still smiling and said, "Student Chen, then you tell me, if we can solve it, we will definitely not refuse."
Chen Chuan said, "Director Liu, please do not make this recommendation public, and please do not tell anyone for the time being."
“This…”
Chen Chuan added, "One year is enough."
Liu Zhan smiled, glanced at Director Lei who was silent beside him, and said: "Student Chen is asking for a request that complies with the regulations. Student Chen, you can rest assured. As long as Liu is still in this position, he can ensure this matter."
Director Lei then said, "The same is true for the Religious Review Bureau."
Liu Zhan quickly agreed, "Yes, that's our promise."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Thank you both."
After the matter was settled, Chen Chuan and Director Lei came out of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and got back into Director Lei's car.
As the armored vehicle started moving, Director Lei leaned into the soft back seat and said, "Your Senior Sister He and I are getting engaged at the end of the year. You must come then."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Congratulations to you two. I will definitely be there when the time comes."
Director Lei said, "When Xiaoying gets better, I'll thank you in person."
Chen Chuan asked, "Director Lei, I wonder how the child is doing now?"
"He's still recovering, but he hasn't spoken to anyone in two years. His speech skills have deteriorated a bit, and he's a little shy. Dr. Li said as long as his parents are patient, he'll be back in shape in about six months."
Chen Chuan said: "That's a blessing."
Director Lei sighed and said, "Yes, thank goodness."
He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about you. You just said you'd cover it up for a year. So, are you sure you can qualify to enter the Central City this year?"
Chen Chuan said: "I do have this plan."
Director Lei didn't ask specifically what he planned to do. He said, "Young people like you, I hope you can enter the Central City. The Central City's technological level is undoubtedly the highest in the entire country. I'm not just talking about current biotechnology, but all aspects. If you can gain a foothold there, then you will be qualified to say that you know the true appearance of the world. Otherwise, you will ultimately be confined to your own small world."
He also reminded, “There are many enemies blocking the way. If you move forward, they will come to stop you and push you down.
If you choose to retreat, you might be able to save yourself, but you'll just live a mediocre life. Only by moving forward can you have a wonderful life. Some people are born with nothing, so they don't have the right to think about these things. There's nothing to say about that. Since you have the talent, you should give it a try.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Director Lei, I'd like to ask you something. I'm not sure if this is too presumptuous."
Director Lei smiled and said, "Ask whatever you want. I won't answer anything I can't."
Chen Chuan said, "I'd like to ask, what are the esoteric rituals?"
Director Lei paused for a moment. "This involves some confidential information, so I'll briefly explain. Regardless of the ritual, it utilizes the anomalous substance I mentioned to you. However, it's also known internationally as 'heterogeneous entanglement.' Through certain special methods and rituals, this substance can be guided to move according to certain established patterns."
Chen Chuan asked, "Is this also true for strange stories?"
Director Lei shook his head. "Ghost tales are not that simple, but complex and diverse. They cannot be summarized in one category. Some can be utilized, while others cannot. Moreover, this does not fall under the jurisdiction of our Esoteric Cult Review Bureau.
Let’s put it this way, what we manage and review are all methods summarized and applicable by the esoteric Buddhism in past history. Most of the strange stories cannot be summarized and trigger rules, and there are still different opinions about their origins.
Perhaps there are some things there, but my position is not enough for me to know. If you are interested, you can go and find it yourself. You should be able to find all the answers you want in the central city."
After hearing what he said, Chen Chuan's desire to go to the central city became stronger. His pursuit was to become stronger and transcend constraints, but he was also very interested in this abnormal and mysterious thing.
Director Lei drove him all the way back to school. He got off the car at the Wuyi gate. After saying goodbye to Director Lei, he entered the campus. This time he did not go back to the dormitory first, but came to Cheng Zitong's office.
When Cheng Zitong saw him, he closed the office door and asked, "Are you back? How is it going? Is everything going well?"
After sitting down, Chen Chuan said, "Teacher, I've received both the evaluations from the Esoteric Examination Bureau and the Foreign Affairs Bureau." He said solemnly, "That should be enough to cover up my situation for a year, so next I plan to take the Unlimited Defense Certificate exam."
Cheng Zitong looked at him for a moment, opened the drawer of his desk, and took out a letter. "This is Lao He's reply. Take it back and read it first. If you have made a decision, I will fully support you. However, I suggest you wait a little longer until your cousin's last file is found and you can look at the similar precedent before deciding what to do."
Chen Chuan reached out to take it, nodded and said, "Yes, although I have made up my mind, I will not be too hasty." He talked to Cheng Zitong about the raid on the Bronze Embroidery Group and handed the implant to the latter before coming out.
After returning to the dormitory, he immediately opened He Xiaoxing's letter. The last time he wrote to ask about the issue of the first limit.
Previously, with the growth of his own alienated tissue and the overall improvement of all aspects of his body, he also felt that it would be impossible to reach the absolute upper limit of this stage within the first limit.
Because the body needs to maintain its functions, progress in one aspect will inevitably drive the whole. Although the progress will be fast at the beginning, it will become slower and slower and become inefficient later on.
Even if it is possible to continue to improve, it may take several years or even more than ten years, so it is obviously not cost-effective and unnecessary to force it to achieve this.
He believes that the first limit and the second limit and even higher limits should not be a simple progressive relationship, but may need to promote each other and be completed in coordination. In this case, he may not be able to fully complete the first limit before moving on to the second limit.
He didn't know whether his idea was correct, so he asked He Xiaoxing for advice. Of course, he didn't say that he wanted to reach the upper limit, but just treated it as a theoretical discussion.
He Xiaoxing's reply confirmed his guess. The letter praised his spirit of seeking knowledge and told him that from the first limit to the second limit, and even the third limit, before reaching a certain limit, they can make up for each other's shortcomings and even be classified as a whole.
The letter also said that few people can notice this problem, and took the initiative to mention this problem. People without talent will not and cannot seek this problem. At the end, it also said that he hopes he can continue to maintain it. Extraordinary martial arts is important, but only by always maintaining a spirit of seeking knowledge and pursuit can people continue to move forward.
After reading the letter, Chen Chuan understood everything.
There is no need to pursue the limit too much at this stage, because this limit is simply impossible to achieve now. Once you have mastered a higher level of power, you can come back and improve together.
In this case, when you feel that you have reached a bottleneck and your progress has become minimal, it is time to enter the second limit.
So, the next step is to train hard and wait for this moment to come.
After thinking about it, he reached into his pocket and took out the bone bead bracelet he got from Qisai.
When carrying this thing, he found that while it caused damage, it also had a slight stimulating effect on the alienated tissue.
But this kind of stimulation is really too rare. Could it be just a special ornament?
He looked at it again and compared it with his wrist, but found that the number of bone beads on it was obviously not enough to wrap around the man's thick wrist.
Besides the spot where he pulled the rope that day, there were also signs of frequent disassembly. Does this mean...
He thought about it, and with a slight movement in his heart, he took off one of the bone beads, looked at it for a moment, and then squeezed it hard, and a pile of powder fell on the table. At the moment this thing broke, the second me suddenly felt a wave of emptiness. This strong feeling was like a close encounter with a strange story.
It is true!
Chen Chuan's eyes lit up, and he understood that Qisai should be using this thing instead of drugs to stimulate alienated tissues in order to achieve the purpose of fighting training.
However, this is much more stimulating than similar drugs, and may also cause other unknown harms. While stimulating alienated tissues, it is probably also overdrawing life.
Considering that the plugging should have reached the second limit, maybe it can be tolerated?
It is also possible that Qisai stayed in the wilderness for a long time and could not get enough medicine, so he brought this thing with him for occasional emergencies.
However, it is not ruled out that the Maca people are small and weak, and cannot provide abundant medicines like Wu Yi, so this method is used as a substitute.
But no matter what the real situation is, this thing is just right for him.
He looked at the shadow on the second me, but he didn't know how long it could last, so he decided to wait and see.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. He put down his things and walked over to open it. It was Feng Xiaoqi, who said, "Student Chen, I've counted everything. There are a total of 5,350 Jianyuan coins and 537 trading coupons."
Chen Chuan thought about it, more than 5,000 Jianyuan coins?
This amount is actually quite a lot. After all, even if Nian Fuli was promoted to team leader, his monthly salary is only more than 200 yuan. However, considering that this money is shared by forty or fifty people, and it is a life-threatening salary, it is actually not that much.
He said, "Well, I'll make the phone call. Once Senior Brother Ren and Brother Wei have finished their work, we'll find a date and have everyone come over to divide it up."
"Okay."
As for the two Wansheng Bank gold notes, he had asked Cheng Zitong before. He was told that an appointment was needed in advance and the time was uncertain, possibly up to sixty days. As for the implant, Cheng Zitong told him to wait and that he should be able to find a suitable buyer. In this case, he might as well distribute the money he got to everyone first.
Over the next three days, Ren Xiaotian and Wei Changan called one after another, saying that the vehicles, guns and bounties had been dealt with, the money had been paid, and the commission from the Foreign Affairs Bureau had also been deposited into his account.
Then the next step is undoubtedly to divide the money.
After thinking about it, Chen Chuan simply booked a private room at the Duyi Hotel in the city center and notified all the team members involved in the operation to come there on their day off so that they could have a meal together and distribute their rewards.
