Chapter 65: Picking up the lost moral integrity
Qi Huan only felt that a dazzling white light suddenly flashed through his brain, making him dizzy. His mind went blank and his whole body froze in an instant.
"Spirit body stimulation refers to the successful condensation of the spirit power of a high-level sentinel or guide into a different body form that can be displayed independently. It is a special way for the spirit power to directly contact the outside world. As for the form, according to current historical data statistics, more than 85% of spirit bodies are in animal form, and the stronger the spirit power, the rarer the animal form condensed. About 10% are in the form of plants, and the remaining less than 5% will present a variety of forms, such as a rope or a pool of water..."
Kong Hu was halfway through explaining when he noticed that Qi Huan's eyes were fixed and he was obviously not listening. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Huanhuan?"
"Are you okay? Do you want to go into the medical cabin for a check-up?" Kong Hu suddenly became a little nervous. Brother Zhi had just told him in a message that while the boss was in a coma, in addition to taking care of the boss, he must also take good care of Huanhuan. If necessary, he would rather get hurt himself than let Huanhuan get hurt.
"It's okay. Did you see that white light just now?" Qi Huan came back to his senses and rubbed his eyes. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the white light just now was real or fake.
"What white light?" Kong Hu became even more nervous after hearing what he said. It was over. Could it be that Huanhuan was also overworked and her mental strength was depleted?
"Nothing." Qi Huan shook his head. Since Kong Hu didn't see it, it must be fake.
"Why don't you go to the medical cabin for a checkup." Kong Hu was a little worried.
"It's really nothing." Qi Huan felt that Kong Hu was making a fuss, and quickly brought the topic back to the previous question, "You haven't told me what it means to stimulate the spirit body?"
Kong Hu choked, knowing that the reason why he acted like that before was probably because he didn't hear what he said, so he had to repeat it again.
"You mean, the soul body is the spiritual body," Qi Huan frowned, trying to sort out his thoughts, "Kai, Qingxiao, and Plugin are not real animals. They are condensed from the spiritual power of you and Xu Zhi?"
"That's right." Kong Hu nodded.
No wonder it never sheds hair! Qi Huan finally solved a little puzzle.
"Then, what about Monday?" Qi Huan carefully confirmed with him again.
Kong Hu pushed his glasses and said firmly, "Of course it is condensed from the boss's mental power."
Qi Huan took a deep breath and tried to suppress his panicked heartbeat. "If the spirit body is condensed from mental power, then what is the relationship between the spirit body and the sentinel himself?"
"To put it simply, it is an avatar of the sentinel or guide. In most cases, their behavior represents their subconscious or repressed nature. A small number of special and advanced spirits also have their own personalities. Some even have special abilities, such as the shop owner's bird that can only spit out gold."
Qiqi is also a spiritual being! Qi Huan was shocked.
"Can the person himself hear what the spirit hears as well?" Qi Huan confirmed with him with the last glimmer of hope.
"Of course it can. Not only can it hear, but the spirit body also knows everything it sees and touches. Unless it is deliberately blocked, the spirit body and one's own perception are originally connected as one." Kong Hu extinguished Qi Huan's last hope word by word.
In other words, Jiufang Yu actually heard all the nonsense he said to Heituanzi in the past!
At this moment, Qi Huan finally knew what it felt like to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This was a disgrace to the Pacific Ocean! How badly did his image collapse in front of Jiu Fangyu? It was probably even worse than the current situation at Base No. 3, right?
He covered his face in embarrassment, looked at the window of the room in despair, and then looked at Kong Hu, "Tell me, is it too late for me to jump out of the window now?"
Huh? Kong Hu pushed his glasses up in confusion, unable to understand what he meant by that. "What is there in time for?"
"Go pick up the moral integrity I lost!"
After Qi Huan finished speaking, he was about to go over to open the window, but Kong Hu hugged him around the waist.
"Let me go." Qi Huan struggled hard. Jumping down now would be the end of it all. At least he wouldn't have to face the embarrassment of Jiu Fangyu waking up.
"No matter what you want to pick up, it's too late now." Kong Hu took him to the single sofa next to the medical cabin and said it right away.
Qi Huan, who was stuffed into the sofa, froze. His almond-shaped eyes widened as he looked at Kong Hu with grief and resentment. "You look harmless, boy, but why do you choose to poke people's vital points?"
Is it wrong to save people? Kong Hu felt a little uncomfortable when he was stared at, and scratched his face in confusion.
Qi Huan was about to speak when he suddenly saw the mini white-haired little ball reappear in the medical cabin behind Kong Hu. At this moment, he had his eyes closed and was leaning over Jiufang Yu's lips. It looked like he was taking advantage of Jiufang Yu while he was unconscious.
It's outrageous!
"Hey, what are you doing!" Qi Huan immediately stood up and rushed to the medical cabin.
Kong Hu was startled by him, then turned around and saw a small figure with white hair, only half a finger tall, lying on the jaw of his boss.
He pushed his glasses up in astonishment. A human-shaped spirit?
Before Qi Huan could rush to the medical cabin, the white shadow suddenly disappeared.
"Gone again! It's always like this!" Qi Huan looked speechlessly at the medical cabin where only Jiufang Yu was left. He looked around the cabin up and down, but the little guy was nowhere to be found.
"As for your spiritual body, it will disappear naturally if you tell it to." Kong Hu sighed. No wonder the boss said that he would arrange routine physical examinations and popularize various common sense knowledge in the future. The people of Waste Star really don't know any basic knowledge about spiritual bodies.
Qi Huan's body suddenly froze, like a robot that was out of fuel or had almost no energy. Even the movement of turning around was so choppy that it seemed as if the frames were dropped.
"What did you say just now? My spiritual body?" He looked at Kong Hu in disbelief.
"There are only three of us here," Kong Hu used his finger to circle the people in the room, "The boss's spirit body is Zhou Ba, my spirit body is Hai Kai, so whose spirit body could the remaining one be if not yours?"
"Are you sure that was a spirit?"
"Yes, 100 percent sure." Kong Hu tapped the transparent protective cover on the medical cabin with his fingers. "Only a spiritual body can pass through objects from one dimension to four dimensions silently and without any damage."
"But how could I have a spiritual body?" Qi Huan still found it hard to believe.
"It does look like it was activated not long ago," Kong Hu touched his chin, "Have you ever measured your mental power before?"
Qi Huan shook his head. There was no mental tester on the waste planet, so where could he test it? Not to mention his previous life, he didn't even have this concept.
"Have you ever trained your mental strength?"
"How to exercise?" Qi Huan was getting more and more confused. He was now basically cooking and studying recipes every day, busy making money to support himself and pay off his debts. Occasionally, he would use the time to relax and touch or tease Hei Tuanzi.
"It's okay. Wait for the medical experimenters to arrive in a few days and have them test you. Since you can stimulate a spiritual body in such a special human form, your spiritual power level should not be too low." Kong Hu said here, and he became curious again, "How about you let the little guy come out again?"
It happened too fast just now and I didn't see it clearly.
"How do I get it out?" Qi Huan blinked and looked at Kong Hu ignorantly and innocently.
Kong Hu sighed, opened his personal terminal, searched for a random article on the basic knowledge of spiritual bodies and sent it to him.
"At the beginning, you really don't know how to control it. When you have time, take a look at the data and you will learn it slowly."
There was nothing else to do except guarding Jiufang Yu, so Qi Huan immediately sat down and opened the data.
The first thing he saw were the big words "Introduction to Spiritual Body - Infant Edition". Qi Huan frowned when he saw the last three words, but he had to admit that his current knowledge about spiritual body was at a state of near-zero ignorance.
Kong Hu did not disturb him. He sat down on another sofa opposite the medical cabin, opened his personal terminal and continued to study the "pins" he had just discovered.
Based on the introduction of the data, Qi Huan finally understood it roughly.
According to the data, the higher the level of mental power, the greater the possibility of stimulating a spiritual body. For sentinels and guides with a mental power level of C, the proportion of those with a spiritual body is about 10%. For those with a mental power level of A, the proportion of those with a spiritual body rises directly to 60%. The stimulation rate of S-level is as high as 90%.
In short, as long as the mental power level is high enough, it is natural to stimulate the spiritual body in a state of concentration. If the mental power level is extremely high, the spiritual body may be stimulated in adolescence. Another period with a relatively high frequency of occurrence is the span from adolescence to adulthood. Many people's mental power is accumulated over time, and it will suddenly burst out and improve at this stage, jumping from a potential person to a sentinel or guide, and the spiritual body will also be triggered.
The data described the feeling of the moment when the spirit body was stimulated as "close to exhaustion" and "a momentary feeling of dizziness and separation." Qi Huan half-supported his chin and frowned at these two vague descriptions. How should I put it? If you are busy and cooking, there are countless times when you feel this way.
So the little guy was accidentally stimulated like this?
He rubbed his sore eyes and looked across. Kong Hu was also rubbing his nose tiredly.
Speaking of which, in the past two days, the people from the Ferocious Beast Squad must have done a lot of preparatory work with Jiufang Yu, and Kong Hu must have been quite busy as well.
Qi Huan stood up and poured two glasses of water, placing one glass next to Kong Hu.
Further down, there are methods to control the appearance and disappearance of the spiritual body. To put it simply, it is to get rid of distracting thoughts, concentrate mental strength, and move the "body" at will. Once you become proficient in it, you can do it, and it will come when you call and go when you wave.
Some advanced spiritual entities even have autonomous consciousness, can appear and disappear on their own initiative, and can communicate with sentinels or guide bodies through conscious communication.
But it is easier said than done. The more he urged himself to get rid of distracting thoughts, the more distracting thoughts appeared in his mind. Qi Huan practiced for more than half an hour, but always ended in failure. Finally, he was exhausted and fell asleep on the sofa.
Kong Hu studied for a while and happened to meet Diwu Yuan online, so he dragged him to discuss. At the end of the discussion, he felt dizzy and his solar plexus was throbbing like a needle.
He sighed, knowing that this was an early symptom of his mental strength being exhausted. He immediately stopped and rubbed his forehead, picked up the cup and drank some cold water, then closed his eyes and rested.
Although exhausting one's mental power and then replenishing it is also a way to train and increase the upper limit of one's mental power, the boss has fallen now and the rest of the beast team is gone, so he must hold on for now.
The slightly cool water tasted inexplicably sweet. After it slid into my mouth, the cool feeling immediately spread along my limbs and bones to my entire body, gently soothing the sharp pain in my temples.
Kong Hu was stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes and saw a small figure sitting on the wall of the water cup, grabbing a strand of his own white hair and stirring it in the water cup with the hair tip.
He opened his mouth and subconsciously glanced across, only to find that Qi Huan had fallen on the sofa, sleeping unconscious while hugging the wide armrest.
The white-haired little fellow narrowed his green eyes slightly, smiled, lifted the ends of his hair and shook it towards him, then suddenly disappeared.
Kong Hu picked up the cup and took another sip. That comfortable and gentle feeling began to flow again inch by inch, slowly enveloping every meridian in the body, just like a spring breeze that nourishes and invigorates, making one feel comfortable and refreshed.
This feeling is just like the spiritual power of a guide! Kong Hu looked at Qi Huan in shock. Could it be that his spiritual body has some kind of healing ability? Or is Huan Huan a guide?
He quickly opened the small group of the Ferocious Beast Team and told everyone about his experience.
[No way? Huanhuan is the guide? ]
[Speaking of which, I've also had this feeling recently. It seems that after eating the food made by Huan Huan, I feel more energetic. I thought it was because of the energy field of the waste star.]
[Come to think of it, every time Qingxiao finishes eating something Huanhuan gives him, his condition becomes noticeably better.]
[Yes, kelp too.]
[Is it because of his special spiritual body or the energy field of the waste star? ]
[I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the people from the Si family's medical laboratory to come over and study it before we know. This matter will be kept secret for now. Don't let the sixth person know before discussing it with the boss.]
[Kong Hu, release Haikai and protect Lao Da and Huan Huan. If they get a little scratched, you'll be the one to blame.]
Kong Hu said "got it" in a wronged tone, wanting to cry but without tears. How come it was his turn as a weakling to be a bodyguard?
When he woke up, the sky outside was already slightly white. Qi Huan stretched his arms and stretched himself. Jiufang Yu was still sleeping in the medical cabin. Kong Hu was also asleep on the sofa opposite. On the ground lay a giant yellow python as thick as a bowl. It had curled up its body and tightly enclosed the sofa under Qi Huan and the medical cabin where Jiufang Yu was.
What is this doing? Qi Huan scratched his head, a little confused.
A message popped up on my personal terminal. It was from Boss Wan, saying that they had cleaned out the usable ingredients overnight and would deliver them within 20 minutes.
Qi Huan sat up, stepped lightly over the sleeping Haidai, picked up the blanket that had fallen on the ground and covered Kong Hu with it, then went to wash up.
There is still a "tough battle" to fight today. Jiufang Yu is not here, so he has to ensure that everyone is satisfied with the dinner and try his best to help Jiufang Yu keep the store owner and those sentinel bosses to protect the base.
After washing up, Qi Huan sent messages to Londo, Quan Hai and Wu Ke respectively, asking them to come to Tianfeng Pavilion to help if they were free. He had already told Ah Tu's kitchen helpers and servants last night to come early today.
The dinner is very important, but the guards fought hard against the stone beasts yesterday and stayed up all night to guard the base. It would be inappropriate to continue feeding them nutrient solution today. Lunch in the cafeteria still has to be provided as normal.
Qi Huan took A Tu and two servants and walked towards the landing platform in the back kitchen, thinking about the division of labor on both sides. When they reached the door, they saw Boss Wan's dilapidated airship.
"They are all here." Boss Wan pointed to several trailers behind the boat. His eyes were red after not sleeping all night.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wan."
"Don't worry about it. I can have a good sleep when I go back later. Thanks to you for your help this time." Boss Wan let out a long sigh and patted Qi Huan on the shoulder.
"It's not me. This time I have to thank Star Lord. He came up with a solution that has the best of both worlds."
"Thank you, thank you." The smile on Boss Wan's face became even more intense.
After finishing the meal and signing the bill, Qi Huan took A Tu and others to transport all the ingredients back to the kitchen.
He asked Erpan and Afei to take two servants to prepare according to the lunch menu, while he took A Tu to place the hams first, and then sorted out the necessary ingredients one by one according to the prepared menu for the dinner.
Not long after, Quan Hai, Londo, and Wu Ke also arrived. There were no shops open at the base right now, and everyone had nothing else to do except digging out things from the ruins, so after receiving Qi Huan's message, they made some arrangements and came to help one after another.
It was past eleven o'clock when lunch was ready. Qi Huan brought one to Kong Hu. Just as he reached the door, he saw Jiufang Yu push it open and walk out.
"You're awake?" Qi Huan was so shocked that he almost dropped the tray in his hand. Last time Jiufang Yu slept for two days and one night, why was it so short this time?
"Yeah." Jiufang Yu's jaw moved slightly, "Go talk to someone with Kong Hu about something."
"Eat first." How could you not take care of your body like that? Qi Huan stuffed the tray into his hands. "You can't go anywhere until you finish eating."
Jiufang Yu: ...
Kong Hu hurriedly washed his face and rushed out the door, only to see Qi Huan angrily "throwing" the meal tray into his eldest son's arms, ordering him not to go anywhere until he finished eating. What was even more strange was that his eldest son actually came back obediently with the tray!
Kong Hu rubbed his eyes, wondering for a moment whether he had not woken up yet.
Everyone in the kitchen was busy all day, and at six in the evening, when the sky was filled with sunset glow, the dinner officially began.
The emerald green and crispy crispy crab meat, the warm red and honeyed agate lotus root, the smooth and translucent crystal braised pork, the golden and crispy phoenix tail shrimp balls, the brightly colored stuffed tofu with hundreds of flowers, the shiny black soft-shelled fish, the fragrant and delicious purple taro braised pork... one dish after another was delivered to the banquet hall like flowing water.
Qi Huan and A Tu were arranging the mantis skewers on a plate when a warning whistle suddenly sounded outside.
Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Was the stone beast here again?
A boy who was delivering food came back breathlessly with a tray in his hand. "Oh no! A star beast! There's a star beast!"
Qi Huan put down the plate and ran out. Just as he reached the single-sided empty corridor of Tianfeng Pavilion, he saw Jiufang Yu, Senior A Luan and the sentinels of the sanatorium jumping out one after another.
In mid-air, a group of star beasts densely packed together and pressed down like an overwhelming force.
