Chapter 141 Vest (Part 2)
Because of Gao Siqi's words, Mingyu consciously upgraded the dinner with Cui Xiaoduo on Friday from a casual chat between friends and meeting their elders to a half-work and half-assessment meeting with industry seniors.
It made him somewhat nervous.
In the entire human star field, top-notch starship designers like Cui Bing are rare.
Each of them was a master among masters, an authority among authorities, their vast experience and knowledge in starship design unfathomable. Ming Yu worked overnight to refine his rough sketch of a space shuttle exploration ship into a final draft.
Because the theoretical basis for space travel was still incomplete, the design draft of the folding staff could not be put into the modeling instrument for feasibility testing. On the morning of the meeting, Mingyu manually calculated the estimated values for various aspects to ensure that there were no major problems.
After Mu Baixing finished his final round of checkups before discharge, he emerged from the medical exam room to find Mingyu sitting in a waiting area outside, staring at a screen, frantically revising and checking his work. He looked less like he was going out to dinner with friends and more like he was going to give a research proposal to a leading figure in the industry.
Mu Baixing curled the corners of his lips slightly, thinking that the young man was serious and cute.
Mingyu is a rising star in the field of starship design. If his ideas and designs for space shuttles were publicly released, it would be like dropping a bombshell on the entire field. If this research succeeds, it could catapult Mingyu to the position of a special-purpose starship designer.
And Mingyu is only twenty years old this year.
But the young man remained humble and did not become complacent.
"Brother Mu?" Mingyu heard the noise ahead and looked up from the screen. Seeing that it was Mu Baixing, he immediately closed the screen in front of him and turned to the doctor in charge. With a serious tone and a hint of nervousness, he asked, "Doctor, how is his recovery?"
doctor:"……"
Mu Baixing's attending doctor is the Mu family's personal doctor, whose surname is Pei. Mingyu had seen him the last time he and Mu Baixing came to the hospital to visit Mu Lian.
Doctor Pei looked a bit bewildered. He was momentarily distracted after hearing Mingyu's question, and it took him a few seconds to realize what the patient's family member was asking. He subconsciously put on a professional smile and nodded.
"I'm recovering well," he said. "My overall physical function is a little low, but that's normal. After such a serious injury, the recovery period usually takes about a month."
"The wound from the mental domain surgery is healing well, and the mostly necrotic mental domain has regained activity. A full set of deep scans were performed, and no abnormal energy was found. The mental power level test results are also good, and the level has increased."
Dr. Pei has seen many patients with mental impairment.
As the necrotic mental domain regains its activity, it is normal for the patient's mental power level to improve and recover.
...But Mu Boxing's mental power level has increased... a little too high.
...The high-level mental power detection instrument issued a special prompt, repeatedly showing that the subject's mental power level has reached 3S. Doctor, please check carefully and retest.
Dr. Pei then tested Mu Boxing three times using three different instruments, but obtained the same result: within half a month after the mental domain surgery, the patient's mental power level increased rapidly from A-, exceeding 2S and reaching the 3S boundary.
According to Dr. Pei's experience, in the next half month, his necrotic mental domain will continue to recover and his mental strength will also increase.
...This level is a bit outrageous.
Even if Dr. Pei had a thick nerve, he wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong.
Mu Baixing was brought to the hospital by the Mu family's private medical ship and received the highest level of treatment the hospital could offer. Dr. Pei had always assumed that this was because Qi Wei, the deputy commander of the Second Corps, had finally confirmed that Mu Baixing was his "white moonlight" friend, whom he had believed had died in battle, and so he gave him the green light.
But now it seems that there is more to it than that.
Dr. Pei vaguely felt that this person's identity was not simple.
He couldn't help but observe Mu Boxing and the patient's family members who had always been with Mu Boxing.
Mu Baixing held the freshly-made inspection report in his hand, glanced down, and ignored the 3S level in bold letters on it. He handed the report to Mingyu as if nothing had happened. Mingyu took a look at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled.
Doctor Pei: “……!”
...Not only did the patient's family not express any comments about the 3S level of mental power, they even took it for granted and thought it should be so!
Doctor Pei's scalp tingled.
...How many 3S-level awakened humans have there been in human history?! Doctor Pei's clear mind almost turned to mush as he thought dazedly.
...How many of them could possibly be related to Qi Wei from the Northern Star Region? And when Qi Wei got drunk and thought about it, he burst into tears like a mentally retarded person...
"Excuse me." As the doctor was experiencing a brain storm, the man next to him who looked like the Celtic King said calmly, "Please do a mental test for my lover as well."
Doctor Pei: “…”
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu discovered that since he resolutely implemented the punishment measures, Mu Baixing began to like to express their intimacy through verbal address.
It seems like I can't be satisfied with actions, so I always have to talk about it to satisfy myself.
Mingyu didn't know if he was too thin-skinned, but every time he heard Mu Baixing use his unique cold voice, carefully pronounce the words, and emphasize the word "lover" in a slightly deep voice without leaving any trace, he would blush a little.
"Come on." Doctor Pei said quickly, "No problem, Mingyu, sit here and take this mental input device..."
The last time Mingyu underwent a mental power test was a few months ago at a mental power testing agency in the Star Network.
Then, in the second game of the Star Domain Tournament, he showed signs of an increase in his mental power. Mingyu assumed that his mental power level had increased to S, but he had never tested it anywhere.
He closed his eyes and concentrated all his mental energy, not knowing that Dr. Pei, who was waiting on the side, was looking at the numerical display on the detector with his eyes widening.
A——A+——S——S+——
Doctor Pei took a deep breath as he watched the areas on the instrument representing different levels of mental power light up one after another.
"...Overall grade 2S." He finally spoke, reading out the test results on the instrument, "Acuity 2S, Strength B, Explosive Power B, Extensibility S, Plasticity 3S..."
"You..." He looked at Mingyu, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He used all his strength to keep himself from losing his composure.
Mingyu, who is generally acknowledged to have no psychic power and cannot awaken it, has a psychic power level as high as 2S?!
"...2S?" Ming Yu couldn't help but suspect that the instrument was wrong. He rubbed his eyes and read the two characters again to confirm that he was not seeing things wrong. Then he subconsciously turned to look at Mu Baixing.
The man's reaction was perfectly natural. He nodded and said simply, "After multiple perfect resonances of spiritual energy, both parties' spiritual energy levels are likely to increase."
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu: ...Is this even possible?!
Doctor Pei: “…”
Dr. Pei's focus had completely shifted away from 2S at this point.
...Perfect resonance of mental power.
More than half a month ago, at the Star Navigation Competition, for the first time in human history, a highly matched observer and pilot appeared.
Doctor Pei: “…”
When he looked at Mingyu again, his expression was already a little frightened.
The poor little Mingyu who has not awakened his spiritual power and the observer LUCE who is killing everyone in the Star Navigation Competition, these two completely different images... merged into one in front of him without any warning.
Doctor Pei covered his chest.
As the Mu family's personal physician, he had, of course, signed a long list of confidentiality agreements. Of course, even without these agreements, he would still abide by professional ethics and not disclose any patient privacy.
But... Mingyu, LUCE, Mu Boxing, the Celtic King, and their relationship...
He suddenly hoped that the patients could be a little more understanding of him as a doctor... and understand that doctors' hearts are not that strong either.
Also, being forced to accept a lot of information but having no one to discuss gossip with is really torturous.
Doctor Pei: “…”
It’s not like there’s no one to gossip about.
He thought of his good friend Qi Wei.
I don’t know how much my friend knows about all this.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the waiting room was knocked from outside.
After Mu Boxing was admitted to the hospital, he was placed in a special ward on the top floor. No unrelated visitors were allowed within the first few floors. The people who came in at that time were either doctors or nurses, or the patients' relatives and friends.
The door had been open the entire time. Dr. Pei turned and glanced outside, noticing that some people were mumbling something. His friend Qi Wei, whom he had just been thinking about, was now standing at the door to the observation room.
The deputy commander of the Second Legion was already over half a century old. His black hair was streaked with frosty white, and he walked and stood with a standard military bearing.
As the deputy commander, Qi Wei's personality wasn't as stern as Musa's, but he was also ruthless in punishing people, and many in the army were afraid of him. If those soldiers saw his current expression, their jaws would drop.
The highly respected deputy commander of the corps was standing outside the door at this time. He was wearing the most formal military uniform. His hair looked like it had been specially fixed with hairspray. His clothes and appearance were extremely exquisite, but his expression was very strange.
He looked extremely nervous and excited, yet he was trying hard to keep a calm expression on his face, to the point that his demeanor was a little distorted.
He looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several nights because of something, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Mingyu turned around when he heard the sound and saw that the man was still raising his hand to knock on the door, his arm shaking slightly.
Mu Baixing half turned sideways to look at the door, met Qi Wei's eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qi Wei: “…”
Qi Wei wanted to speak, but under Mu Baixing's gaze, his whole body trembled violently, and his lips trembled so much that he couldn't even utter a word.
After a while, Mu Baixing spoke first.
"Didn't I approve your discharge application?" he said. "The war is over. Are you still here?"
This bland, seemingly incoherent chat was like a heavy blow to Qi Wei.
The forced calmness on the middle-aged man's face was completely torn apart.
He whimpered from his throat, stepped into the house, his knees weakened, and he knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse: "Your Majesty!——"
This heart-wrenching, powerful, soul-calling sound echoed repeatedly throughout the corridor.
Doctor Pei: “…”
Mingyu: “…”
Mu Baixing: “…”
Mingyu was startled by his shout and took a step back. He subconsciously glanced outside the door and thought to himself that it was a lucky fact that this was a special floor and there were no other visitors outside. Otherwise, who knows how many people would come to watch...
Before he could finish his thought, his eyes met Cui Xiaoduo's, who was standing not far away with a terrified look on his face.
Mingyu: “…”
Behind Cui Xiaoduo was Mu Lian, who had a blank expression on her face, and the colorful-haired brothers who had just walked out of the elevator further away but had obviously heard the sound as well, and therefore looked puzzled.
Mingyu: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Hongmao and Mingyu looked at each other, scratched their heads, walked quickly forward, and asked uncertainly: "...Brother LU?"
"Isn't our boss staying in a private ward?" He confirmed with Mingyu, "Are you...are you and the boss planning to change your base? Are you giving up space travel and going to make a movie?"
"That's not impossible," Redhead nodded. "Just you and the boss... there's no need to talk about acting skills. As long as you're in front of the camera in high definition, you'll definitely become an overnight sensation! Brother LU, can you ask the director for me?" He said, searching for a camera. "Are you guys still short of extras?"
He spoke quite loudly, but Qi Wei was lost in his own thoughts and heard nothing.
As Mingyu walked, Mu Baixing's eyes naturally swept towards the young man. Qi Wei followed his gaze to look at Mingyu, and then remembered something, and shuddered again.
He maintained a half-kneeling salute posture, facing Mingyu who was standing in front of him, and bent down again, saying firmly: "Queen!——"
This sentence was shouted with the same force and clarity.
The ward was so quiet that even the air seemed to have frozen.
Mingyu: “…”
Cui Xiaoduo and Mu Lian: "..."
"...Where is the camera?" The red-haired guy on the side was still confused.
He hadn't realized the tense atmosphere in the ward. After hearing Qi Wei's voice, he became more certain of his judgment. He asked curiously, "Why can't I find it... Are we accidentally walking into the camera like this?... Hey... Hey! Brother LU! Why did you close the door? Are you filming a movie and can't let onlookers watch?!"
