Chapter 17 Dark Powers
"Thank you, but no thanks."
Yu Mu answered according to his instructions, and when he turned around, he saw a man in his thirties walking towards him with a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen. The girl was holding the same model of terminal as hers, and her face was full of joy.
The man was lean and capable, with sharp eyes.
Yu Mu only looked at him for a moment, and felt uncomfortable as if he had seen through her, so she quickly turned her head away.
"Dad, where did you say Luo Qing is hiding?"
As the two approached, Yu Mu heard the girl's question and felt Luo Qing holding her hand tighter, so she knew that Luo Qing was also nervous.
"Not sure."
The man answered.
"No matter what, he's definitely not going to complete the mission this time. I'm going to make sure he doesn't graduate and stay in the same grade as me, hehe."
The girl smiled happily.
"I see."
Luo Qing clenched his hands unconsciously for a moment, furious at the girl's words. Yu Mu happened to be holding his hand, and he almost cried out in pain. But with a powerful enemy on his side, he didn't dare to say anything. The money had been paid, and the two of them quickly left the hall.
"Ouch, let go!"
After walking a long way out and finding no enemies, Yu Mu couldn't bear it any longer. He shook off Luo Qing's painful grip and said, "Can you please consider me? You're almost crushing my hand."
"Oops, sorry!"
Luo Qing realized it later.
"Look, you pinched me again."
Yu Mu showed him the blue marks on his left hand from being pinched by him. It was already blue and swollen, and it matched the blue marks on his wrist before, and it looked a bit miserable.
"I'm sorry, I was just emotionally agitated. I'm sorry. How about you pinch it back? Here you go."
As he spoke, Luo Qing handed his hand to Yu Mu, motioning her to pinch herself.
"Here we go again, what a boring game."
Yu Mu laughed, but didn't really blame Luo Qing. In the situation just now, it was obvious that his whole attention was on others and he didn't notice her at all. In addition, it was inevitable that he would get excited when he heard unhappy words. The only thing he should do is not let him hold her hand in the future.
"What's your relationship with that girl just now? She seemed to have a grudge against you, and she even made you repeat the grade and be in the same class with her. How come it seems like..."
It seems like the two of them have a lot of stories to tell?
Moreover, the girl was pretty, lively and cute, with two dimples when she smiled, which made people unable to help but feel a good impression of her. Of course, after hearing what she said, all the good impressions disappeared.
Yu Mu couldn't help but feel a burning curiosity in his heart.
"Her name is Taina, nicknamed the Little Witch."
Luo Qing snorted coldly as he spoke, "I was wondering why Taishan didn't agree with me killing Behemoth. Such a good thing that benefits the country and the people would never be rejected. But it turns out that he is the father of the little witch!"
"Oh, so that man is Taishan, the Lord of Shanhai City. I was wondering why I almost lost my soul when I looked at him. And that girl's name alone sounds so fierce!"
Little witch, anything with the word "devil" in it refers to an inhuman existence, especially in the world of metaphysics!
"She lives up to her name. If you see her next time, avoid her. There's something wrong with her."
"What's wrong?"
Yu Mu asked curiously.
"She likes playing pranks, and she has played pranks on many people in school."
Luo Qing's face darkened as he spoke.
"You've been bullied by her, haven't you?"
Yu Mu caught the key words, and seeing Luo Qing's unfriendly expression, he asked with gloating pleasure.
Luo Qing didn't answer her anymore. The acid rain had stopped and the sun was rising in the distant sky. He looked at the time on the terminal. It was 8:15 in the morning. Next, he went to the Hall of Superpowers to test Yu Mu's superpowers.
This was Yu Mu's first time in the Hall of Superpowers. It was a place full of modern technology and required identity verification to enter. Fortunately, Yu Mu had bought a terminal before, otherwise she would not have been able to get in.
There are a lot of robots in it.
No one knew what those robots were transporting, they were very busy. Luo Qing took her to a window familiarly, and after completing various formalities, they arrived at the inspection department hall. It was very empty, and there was no one in sight.
Because there were not many people around, Yu Mu was tested quickly. She only saw the machines shining light in front of her and drawing some blood. When she came out, she saw Luo Qing smiling at her: "Congratulations."
"You are a dark mutant."
"real?"
Yu Mu was a little bit unconvinced. She was originally an ordinary person, but now she has become a person with super powers. Suddenly, she felt something was unreal.
"real!"
Luo Qing smiled.
"I, can't believe it." Yu Mu felt as if a flower had blossomed in his heart.
Before she could be happy for long, a staff member came over and handed her a palm-sized notebook, saying, "Ms. Yu Mu, I'm glad you've awakened your dark powers. Your annual salary has been credited to your terminal. Since you're an F-level psychic, your annual salary is 300 gold coins. I wish you the best in completing your mission."
After saying that, he left.
Yu Mu took the book and saw that it was her psychic qualification certificate, which recorded her psychic level and attributes in detail. Unfortunately, her talent was F level, so it seemed that she could not go to Jinshan College to study.
"Because your talent is too low and you haven't cultivated any skills, you may not be able to complete your annual mission. Be prepared."
Luo Qing said with a serious face.
"What exactly is this mission? Why do I have to do missions after becoming a mutant?"
Yu Mu asked doubtfully.
When she was just an ordinary person, no one required her to complete a certain amount of tasks!
"Let's go, we'll talk while we walk."
Luo Qing walked out first, and Yu Mu followed behind. He heard him say, "With great power comes great responsibility. As a person with special abilities, you must contribute to the country every year. Your talent is F-level, so I think the mission won't be difficult. You can see your mission in your personal terminal."
Then he began to teach Yu Mu how to check the task.
After a series of operations, Yu Mu saw his task, which was an F-level newcomer task: hunt ten explosive bears, ten crystal wolves and three hundred gophers; and hand in ten kilograms of natural food.
"This is the first phase of the mission. If we complete it, there will be a second phase of the mission, which will be even more difficult."
Luo Qing introduced.
The value of these is more than her annual salary of 300 gold coins!
Yu Mu was originally gloating over the fact that he could earn 300 gold coins every year, but now he realized that he was at a huge disadvantage. He couldn't help but look at Luo Qing and ask, "Is this reasonable?"
"Reasonable."
Luo Qing smiled and said, "Don't just look at the surface. After completing the tasks assigned to you by the municipal government, you will earn mission points. These points can be used to obtain some special training resources for psychics. It's much more cost-effective than buying them. Moreover, many resources cannot be bought, such as your training secrets and skills."
"I see."
Yu Mu suddenly understood.
"Okay, let's go buy some food and go home, and you can cook for me." Luo Qing hadn't eaten for more than a day, so he said as a matter of course.
“I can’t cook.”
Yu Mu stopped and felt embarrassed.
"Huh?"
Luo Qing looked at her puzzledly and asked, "You already have a child, and you still can't cook?"
"You know how hard it is for us poor people. My child hasn't eaten natural food since he was born, and I haven't even had a big steamed bun in ages. My life is so miserable!"
She pretended to cry.
