Chapter 30
"It was me who allowed you to survive in the other world. And it was also my arrangement that allowed you to show your usefulness. If I hadn't brought back that bottle of potion, you would be just like that now. All this is my credit." Wang Bing's words were full of self-affirmation of his own actions.
After being expelled from the base and returning to his original position, he thought about it every day. He was unwilling to accept it. Why could even Lin Lan stay? His abilities were obviously better than hers.
"You're quite self-righteous. You don't think that just because you did what you did, no one else could do it, do you? I think even if you didn't see the heat at the time, many of your colleagues must have noticed it."
"Even if you have done me a favor, you just said a few words of comfort and wanted me to risk my life. You really don't think it's your credit." Li Hao's distrust and various worries about the base were half caused by this Wang Bing.
"Do you want to know why I was able to keep Lin Lan and Li Maoxue? Because they would consider me and respect my ideas. I risked my life to buy the potion in another world, but you are just a disgusting character who stands by and points fingers. What is your role?" Li Hao mocked Wang Bing.
If Li Hao had given this person some respect at the beginning, he would have found himself.
Some people think that they cannot hear what others say, and that it is others who are wrong, and definitely not themselves.
So he ignored all of Li Hao's words, as long as they were something he didn't want to hear. He was enraged and reached out to grab Li Hao who was about to leave.
"You, I..."
At this time, Wu Xin, who had been standing behind and observing, quickly blocked and opened Wang Bing's hand.
"Let's go. I don't want to talk to this kind of person." Li Hao turned and left. Wu Xin here had already notified his colleagues to come over.
Wang Bing, who wanted to continue fighting, was stopped by the two men.
"Why? I still need to talk to her." Wang Bing naturally recognized that these two were public officials.
But the two men stretched out their hands to block him. Then they said, "You need to go with us."
Wang Bing was taken away. When he looked at Director Luo in front of him, he still did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Wang Bing, what are you doing! Do you know how stupid a thing you have done?" Director Luo looked at Wang Bing with anger on his face. He still had some feelings for this subordinate.
"I..." In front of his leader, Wang Bing was much calmer. But he still spoke stubbornly.
"Have you forgotten all the terms and conditions you signed before leaving the base?" Director Luo looked at Wang Bing, who still looked unconvinced. Finally, he said helplessly, "You'll have to take care of yourself."
Wang Bing was eventually taken away, and he had to take responsibility for his actions. At the very least, he lost his job and had to stay in a specific area under surveillance.
Li Hao didn't know what had happened to Wang Bing, and her mind wasn't on that. After returning to her rented apartment, she slept until noon.
The next day she went to a nearby park again and found a pavilion to sit in.
Today was a weekday, and the park was mostly populated by children and elderly people. Bored, Li Hao leaned over the railing, staring at the shimmering lake, not sure what he was looking at.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" The voice of a cute little girl next to me came.
Li Hao turned around and saw a cute little girl with a bun on her head. She looked at her with big, watery eyes, her bean-shaped eyebrows about to wrinkle.
"Ah, sister, are you okay?" She forced a smile.
"Well~ I heard your sister sighing. I'll give you some candy. Don't be unhappy, sister." The little girl was very smart and took out a candy from her pocket.
"Little girl, what's wrong with you?" The girl's grandmother said, holding the little girl in her arms. "What's wrong? You don't have to hide alone. Relax. Do you want to do some aerobics with us?"
Both the old and the young were very enthusiastic. Li Hao took the candy and, unable to resist the old man's kindness, started exercising with him.
Her physical condition is still very good, and she has never given up physical exercise in the other world. So the aerobics for the elderly is just to accompany the elderly to exercise.
"Little girl, you have good energy." The old lady sat down and took out a thermos from the bag beside her. She put the lid on and poured the drink inside, then handed it to Li Hao who was sitting next to her. "Have a cup of homemade lei cha."
Li Hao took a bite and it was warm. "Thank you, grandma."
"After drinking the tea, do you feel better? I also added ginger and brown sugar to this tea, which is good for your health. You are still young, so you should be more energetic. There is nothing you can't get through."
Li Hao drank the hot tea, and a warm current flowed from her abdomen to her chest. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke, saying the words she had been suppressing.
"I did some things, some very bad things. But I couldn't help it... Even though I fought back, I still couldn't stand it."
Li Hao has been behaving well and seems to be unaffected by the incident.
She had clearly prepared herself mentally, and she didn't feel anything at the time; she didn't suffer from insomnia or have nightmares.
But she always saw a pair of eyes in a trance, a pair of dead eyes. However, she gradually integrated into the other world, into that world where profit was the most important thing. It was as if the feeling of being watched also disappeared.
Anyway, we are in another world, anyway, these people are not from our own world, anyway, the situation here is like this, anyway, everyone here has no morals.
It seemed that only by becoming one of them could Li Hao feel at ease there.
"If you can't bear it, don't hold it in." Grandma refilled Li Hao's cup.
"I feel like I shouldn't have done that. I might have a better solution." Li Hao's kindness is so pure. Her growing environment and family made her like a straight-growing pine tree.
It was difficult for her to accept that she had committed murder. It was difficult for her to balance her moral composure. In the end, she was like a collapsing building block, completely broken.
"I can see that you are a good child. It is because you are a good child that you feel guilty." The old lady patted Li Hao's arm gently.
"Good boy, grandma, I am a good boy too!" the little girl on the side also said hurriedly.
"Of course, my darling is the best child." The old lady rubbed the little girl's head.
Then he turned around and spoke to Li Hao earnestly.
"Little girl, in life, you'll always make mistakes, or there will always be times when you think you've taken the wrong path. But don't dwell on what has already happened. Think more about the bright side; the future is exciting!" The old lady spoke very philosophically. Clearly a highly educated person. "By the way, if you still can't find any other solution, you could look for what you young people call that?"
"Psychologist," Li Hao replied. Perhaps it was because the old lady had said she was still a good child. She felt a little relieved. Perhaps it was because she hadn't found anyone to talk to, and she didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of the people at the base. She was also worried about causing trouble for her parents.
After Li Hao left the park, the old lady and the little girl were still in the pavilion. After a while, the old lady looked at Director Luo who was walking over and said.
"That's all I can do. I hope you can help this girl. Don't let this kind girl lose her original intention."
Director Luo nodded. There was nothing he could do. Li Hao was very tough. He had asked her to leave the base only in a relaxed environment that Li Hao considered would allow her to open up. Directly and forcefully demanding she see a psychologist would only worsen the relationship between the base and Li Hao.
...
Li Hao returned to her mother and cried in her arms, letting out her emotions. She had been away for five days, and compared to traveling, being with her family was the most relaxing experience. After returning to the base, she immediately sought help from a professional psychologist.
She only had seven days left here. Director Luo squeezed in a lot of time, giving Li Hao enough space and time. Many scientists at the base were dissatisfied.
Li Hao was very busy every day. First and foremost, he was transplanting herbs. Concerned about the dangers of invasive species, all the herbs Li Hao brought back were grown in special indoor farms, where the temperature, humidity, and pressure were all controlled according to the instructions in the herbal medicine manual.
"I can feel the magic power from these herbs. They are all growing well...this one may be dead. I can't feel any magic power." Li Hao said while pointing to one of them. The staff member in charge of maintenance at the side made a disappointed sound "Oh".
A total of 16 herbs were brought back, 8 of which were basic healing potions, and the remaining 8 were a new potion that Li Hao was about to learn, the mana potion. This was also to cultivate more people who could activate their spiritual power.
So far, Zhang Leiyu was the only one at the base who had activated his mental power. They speculated that the mana potion could help those who were struggling to find their state enter a meditative state.
The staff carefully shoveled out the death penalty potion. However, this herb will definitely be put to good use.
Li Hao still needed to serve as a mentor at the base, training her only student, Zhang Leiyu, and at least teach him the final step of infusing a potion before leaving. She also brought back a dozen or so magic stones, enough to support the infusing of about a hundred bottles of healing potions.
Li Hao also has a very important thing to study, which is what kind of power she mobilizes when she uses the Mage's Hand.
The scientists cannot give an answer to this question. They have used all kinds of testing methods, and the only thing left is for real people to feel the power.
But as if there were a barrier between them, they were completely unable to comprehend things that science couldn't explain. The only person who could discuss this with Li Hao was Zhang Leiyu. However, in his current situation, not to mention using mage skills, even the increase in his mental power was less than one-tenth of Li Hao's.
Even here, Li Hao's meditation was smooth, not as difficult as Zhang Leiyu's. It seems that the magic world depends on qualifications, and this world also needs it.
However, the base also had a solution to this problem, which was a piece of crystal that Li Hao brought back. It was the small crystal that Harrison had given her for testing.
At this time, a crystal test is being conducted on all eligible people in the base.
