Chapter 011 Chapter 11

"Why doesn't Chen'er pick up his chopsticks? Is the food not to his liking, or are you feeling unwell again?" King Taiping asked with concern.

"No, I made Daddy worried." Xue Chen took the serving chopsticks and put food into his bowl. "Dad has been working hard these days and has been worried about me. He has lost weight. You need to take good care of yourself and don't get tired."

King Taiping was pleased and pretended not to care. "It's nothing. I just need to deal with some paperwork. I am in good health. I used to lead troops to fight and I didn't feel tired even after running around for months. I really miss you. Your illness this time is strange and even the doctor can't find the cause..."

"It's probably because of the hot summer, and I feel lazy and don't like to move. Doctor Yu also said it's nothing serious." Xue Chen continued to serve him soup, wishing he could stuff it directly into his mouth to stop the excessive worry that kept spreading, "Dad, drink the soup."

Prince Taiping took the bowl: "Good boy."

Gong Jiu couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't want to interact with Prince Taiping, so he picked up some food for Xue Chen: "Brother, you eat too."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious and happy. The father was kind and the son was filial, and the brothers were friendly and respectful.

Xue Chen played the role of a weak and harmless son and brother, with a gentle expression, eating quietly, and watching the Prince Taiping and Gong Jiu get along.

Prince Taiping said, "I have heard about what happened there. It is not easy to get so much food in a disaster year. You have done a good job. I will take care of the rest."

Gong Jiu asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Prince Taiping said, "Report to the emperor and ask for his will to see if we can transfer food from other places."

These words are similar to what Gong Jiu said before. It seems that although Gong Jiu hates his father, he does not alienate him because of this. Instead, he knows him very well.

Gong Jiu is still worried: "I am afraid those people in the court will not give in easily."

Prince Taiping was also worried: "Let's not talk about this. I have no appetite when I talk about it. Let's eat first and then talk about it in detail after lunch."

After lunch, Prince Taiping said a few words to Xue Chen, asked him to have a good rest, and then called Gong Jiu to go to the study.

Xue Chen returned to his room, took a book and sat on the couch to pretend, while turning his attention to the other side, controlling the vest to eat.

He complained to the system: [If there are too many vests, it will take a lot of time to eat every day. How much synchronization rate do I need to reach before I can easily operate two lines? ]

The system said: [This has little to do with the synchronization rate. In fact, it is the same as drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other hand. You need to overcome it yourself. ]

Xue Chen: [……]

System: [Why are you not talking again? ]

Xue Chen: [I want to eat the system. ]

Fortunately, I didn’t start the task when I was about to die.

Being able to draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other hand is already better than most people in the world, not to mention controlling the lives of two characters at the same time.

Can this really be achieved through training?

Xue Chen originally thought that he could open the next vest after maxing out Xie Heng's synchronization rate, but now it seems that it will take a long time, maybe even a lifetime.

Despite this, Xue Chen did not give up completely. Instead, he cheered up and began to practice using two vests together.

He tried to chat with Mr. Hu using the vest, while his original body read the text in the book. This went on for an entire afternoon. Xie Heng's reaction speed slowed down, and his original body could not read a few pages of the book.

Xue Chen humbly asked the system: [How did your previous host overcome it?]

[Previous hosts... they didn't have to control many vests at the same time, so there was no need to overcome it.] The system said, [Your situation is special, and it is difficult to repair the soul. This is the easiest way. Come on. 】

Xue Chen: [Hello, can you self-destruct?]

System: [...Calm down, you are so smart, believe in yourself, you can do it!]

Xue Chen argued with it for a few words and continued to practice double-opening.

After practicing like this for several days, he felt that he had mentally escaped from the human realm.

It was not the state of a god with three heads and six arms. The feeling was difficult to describe. It was as if he was polluted by Cthulhu and turned into a messy monster. Sometimes he would have auditory hallucinations and always felt that someone was talking to him.

System: [That's because you are too tired! Also, that sound is not an auditory hallucination, it's your brother wailing next door! Xue Chen

turned over and covered himself with the quilt: [It doesn't matter, I'm going to sleep, please don't mess with me.]

-

"Sir, it's already the ninth day." Hu Sheng came back from outside with a bucket, poured the water into the water tank, and said anxiously: "There are still six days, and Master Jiu will be back."

Xue Chen was busy practicing dual-line operation and didn't consider Gong Jiuliu's mission at all. When he heard Hu Sheng's words, he realized that time was really running out.

He controlled the main body to sit in the backyard and blow the wind, and the vest was also sitting in a wheelchair, without moving, and both bodies were normal.

Xue Chen did not deliberately focus on the vest, maintaining his current state, and asked casually: "Didn't Xie Zhang send anyone over?"

Hu Sheng said: "Someone was sneaking around outside the house a few days ago. I don't know if it was sent by Xie Zhang."

Xue Chen: "The people who hurt me back then were from the Kuangsha Gang."

Hu Sheng: "Should we get rid of them?"

"Why bother with this effort? Besides, you are alone, with me as a burden, can you deal with the entire Mad Sand Gang?" Xue Chen thought for a while, "It's time, let's prepare to go back to the Xie family."

Hu Sheng wanted to say that conflicts in the martial arts world are not just head-on fights, and can be attacked from other aspects, but then he thought what Xue Chen said made sense, "You agree to go back so easily? And as for Playboy..."

Xue Chen lowered his head, and after a while he replied, "Don't tell Liu Tong. When you leave, try to be as secretive as possible, and delay it for a day."

[Set synchronization rate +1, current vest synchronization rate 64%, available skill points 17. 】

The things in the courtyard were all newly purchased, and there were not many things that really belonged to Xue Chen. There was no need to bother to pack them up when leaving. Hu Sheng took the money and a few changes of clothes, and took Xue Chen out quietly through the back door in the middle of the night. He slowly came to the Xie family's house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The side door opened a crack, and the doorman looked out impatiently through the crack. After seeing the figure clearly in the night, he shouted strangely: "Second, Second Master, why are you back at this time?"

The Xie family had not announced that Ma Jia had left alone. Most people, like Hua Liutong, thought that Xie Heng was still at home recuperating. It was not until Xue Chen appeared on the street and was surrounded by Xie Zhang and his men that they realized that Xie Heng was not at home.

No one cared about him. From the moment his legs were injured, he was as good as dead in the hearts of these people.

"I can't come back?" Xue Chen's face was half hidden in the moonlight, and his tone was cold and hard, "Open the door."

[Set synchronization rate +1, current Ma Jia synchronization rate 65%, available skill points 18.]

Xue Chen: [The synchronization rate has been rising very slowly recently.]

System: [There is no way, this is how it is in the later stage. It will increase a little bit after it meets the character setting. If you want to get a lot of synchronization rate, you have to rely on major events. 】 The doorman

hesitated for a moment and slowly opened the side door: "Second Young Master, do you want me to go and tell you?
