Now he's the only one who can relay messages for me. If he's gone, no one will be so obedient in accepting the mental imprint.
Cao Jin thought Shen Mu Ning was concerned about him, so he quickly assured her that he would be careful.
"Don't worry, Shen Zhiqing, I will definitely be careful and pay attention to safety."
These words, brimming with gratitude, made Shen Mu Ning's lips twitch.
She remembered that this mental imprint had no side effects and wouldn't affect a person's thoughts.
Why does he now feel like what he just said was out of concern for him?
It's understandable that Shen Mu Ning couldn't figure it out, since Cao Jin didn't become like this because of the brand.
This was the first time he had received a proper salary, and it was even higher than what people working in factories in the county town earned.
Moreover, although he didn't know what Shen Mu Ning was investigating, he knew that the Red Letter Soldier wasn't entirely a good person.
He had also inquired about Xu Yuan's case, although he hadn't heard of any leads on the murderer.
However, I have heard quite a bit about his past acts of framing others, murdering his love rival, causing the deaths of innocent people, and illegally detaining state property.
Moreover, Shen Mu Ning exudes righteousness, which basically means that she represents the side of justice.
He was someone everyone in his brigade looked down on, someone even his relatives wanted to distance themselves from, yet he still managed to get on the right path.
This was something he never dared to dream of before, and it actually happened.
He automatically bestowed upon Shen Mu Ning a halo of salvation, or rather, of saving her life.
Therefore, whatever she says now will be automatically translated into very friendly words by her.
Regardless of Cao Jin's thoughts, as long as he does good things, that's enough.
Shen Mu Ning ignored his thoughts and walked straight down the mountain.
"Alright, go back to sleep."
Cao Jin quickly turned on his flashlight to help illuminate the way for her.
Even after descending the mountain, he was still filled with excitement, wishing he could run hundreds of laps to burn off his enthusiasm.
When they arrived at his house, he was still thinking of taking Shen Mu Ning home, but she resolutely refused.
She must have taken the wrong medicine, that's why he had to take her. If he walked to the educated youth settlement in his condition, he would wake up Chu Mingxu in no time.
Rejected, Cao Jin could only go home and continue his excitement.
Tonight, he wrote a note to Shen Mu Ning with the determination to succeed or die trying.
He had thought that even if he died tonight, it would be better than living in constant fear every day afterward.
Unexpectedly, the result was more than just saving his own life.
He could even do things for her and get paid, which was completely beyond his expectations.
Shen Mu Ning, on the other hand, was in a completely different state, even though she had taken on a subordinate today.
This will make it easier for her to stay informed about changes and developments in the county.
However, she was now suffering from a headache because she had previously separated a wisp of her spiritual energy.
Even more critically, she also had to activate her mental energy shield to prevent Chu Mingxu from hearing her voice.
In this situation, she couldn't be happy about it.
Once she finally returned to her room, she immediately removed her mental energy shield and instantly entered the space.
The moment she entered the space, she was about to collapse to the ground from a headache.
The Bloodthirsty Vine, which had been worried about her health, immediately stretched out its branches to support Shen Mu Ning, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Master, you took too much risk today. Why did you have to leave a mental imprint on him?"
While complaining, it didn't forget to use its branches to help its owner back to the bedroom in the small courtyard.
Before she could answer, he went to the storage room and found two level-five mental energy crystal cores.
After taking it, he helped Shen Mu Ning sit cross-legged and placed the crystal core in her hand.
Seeing that its master had begun to absorb the supernatural power in the crystal core, it quietly leaned against the bedpost and guarded her.
This time, Shen Mu Ning really took a risk, using a level 5 crystal core to repair her mental power.
As one of the crystal cores turned to dust, she felt her own spiritual energy crystal core vibrating continuously.
This is a blessing in disguise; her mental strength is about to advance again.
Realizing this, she couldn't be happy and quickly calmed herself down to try and reach level five.
The crystal core in her other hand was being rapidly consumed, and the Bloodthirsty Vine realized that its master's ability was about to advance.
This process cannot be disturbed, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.
However, it was uncertain whether the master's advancement was due to the repair of the split spiritual power.
It was because he absorbed too much of the supernatural energy from the crystal core that he was able to advance to the next level.
If it's a natural advancement, it doesn't need to prepare anything; one remaining level 5 crystal core is enough.
However, if it's the second scenario, then we'll need to bring two more crystal cores, just in case.
It's important to understand that the upgrade of spiritual power is something that people or things that have gained intelligence naturally develop through training.
This natural advancement is not only fast and safe, but it also won't affect future potential.
Of course, a certain number of crystal nuclei can also be used in this process to help consolidate the level.
If advancement relies on crystal cores, not only must the advancement process be kept undisturbed, but a large number of crystal cores must also be provided for absorption.
The crystal cores in Shen Mu Ning's hand are being consumed rapidly, and she doesn't know what's going on.
It had no choice but to take two more crystal cores from the storage room and place them by the bedside.
Even if the master advances using the second method, the advancement will not fail due to insufficient energy.
After Shen Mu Ning finished advancing, the other two crystal cores beside the bed were not used.
Bloodthirsty Vine, who had been on tenterhooks, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the master was too reckless this time. Even if her superpowers have been upgraded, he shouldn't just let her run wild.
