The laboratory instrument lights were flashing incessantly.
Liu Ruxuan rolled on the ground, covered in sweat, her nails digging into her palms, her throat stubbornly suppressing the sounds that were about to escape from the pain.
Xia Shizhao, standing to the side, was powerless to do anything, so he simply closed his eyes and refused to look at her.
Enhancing one's mental strength requires stimulation; no one can escape this pain.
My brain felt like it was being pricked by tens of thousands of needles.
Liu Ruxuan was in so much pain that she had a mental breakdown and felt dizzy.
Half an hour later.
"Damn, it hurts so much... Damn it, it hurts so much I thought I was going to see my great-grandmother..."
Liu Ruxuan lay on the ground, barely alive, weakly calling out.
“Normal,” Xia Shizhao said, placing the testing device on both sides of her temples to check. Seeing that the fluctuations in her mental energy were much stronger than before the experiment, he smiled and said, “Success.”
"I felt it."
Lying on the ground, Liu Ruxuan was pale, but her eyes were surprisingly bright. She sat up and asked, "Can I break through if I do it a few more times?"
"About six more times."
After Xia Shizhao finished speaking, Liu Ruxuan became even more excited, "Just six times and I can break through SS mental power and enter 3S?!"
"Um."
Xia Shizhao nodded affirmatively.
She used to need about nine doses, but this time she improved the potion so much that she doesn't need nine doses anymore.
Liu Ruxuan hugged Xia Shizhao tightly, "Shizhao! I'll protect you for the rest of my life!!! I'll go through fire and water for you!!!"
"I'm not going to put you through fire and water, but Chi Xin just called, probably to talk to you about something."
"Sigh, whatever's wrong with her, it's probably because she's unhappy that I left her there to do the work alone."
Liu Ruxuan regained some strength and waved her hand dismissively.
"How are your subordinates? Are they easy to manage?" Xia Shizhao asked with a smile.
"I've convinced you. Now General Ye is showing me the process. Chi Xin and I have almost finished. We're just waiting for you."
After listening, Xia Shizhao shook his head, "I'll just be a hands-off manager, you two do your best."
Xia Shizhao didn't care much about her identity, and besides, if other people knew about her relationship with the Shu family, the Mu family, and the Jun family, it would inevitably attract attention.
"Okay, but it's so hard to recruit new people. Xingda's first choice is General Ye and his team, I can't get anyone at all."
Liu Ruxuan said with a worried look on her face.
"Take your time."
Xia Shizhao patted her head. "I still need to help Li Tang with mental relaxation. Do you want to sit or come with me?"
"I'll go with you."
On the third floor, Li Tang lay in a nutrient tank. Xia Shizhao turned on the switch and naturally took her hand.
Li Tang suddenly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on Xia Shizhao.
Seeing that the person was clear-headed, Xia Shizhao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Feeling better?"
Li Tang spoke in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I feel better, thank you."
"No need, your teacher got it by signing a contract of servitude."
Xia Shizhao placed the hand he was about to take on her shoulder and began to soothe her mentally. Li Tang felt much better after her muddled head started to feel much more comfortable, and she drifted off to sleep again.
"Is she awake now?"
"Almost. He was able to open his eyes the day before yesterday and can speak today. I reckon he should be able to get up and move around on his own today."
Liu Ruxuan nodded knowingly and leaned closer to Xia Shizhao: "It's your birthday next Monday, how about we all go out and have some fun together?"
"Ah...my birthday...you must have remembered it wrong."
Xia Shizhao hesitated for a moment.
She rarely celebrates her birthday because she doesn't really care.
Moreover, the birthday she recorded was made up on the spot, so she didn't care about it at all. It seems that only Ye Qiuling celebrated her real birthday once. Everyone else who celebrated her birthday had made up a date, but what Liu Ruxuan just said was correct.
In her previous life, the first day she was adopted was her birthday.
That is, next Monday.
"General Ye told me that, but I hadn't even noticed."
After Liu Ruxuan finished speaking, she checked the previously saved birthday dates again. "Wait a minute, your birthday is still three months away. General Ye must have made a mistake."
Xia Shizhao pursed his lips and tilted his head slightly: "Let's go out and have fun together next week, it'll be a good time to relax."
"Hmm? Okay, I'm really going to be exhausted these days."
Liu Ruxuan stretched and said, "Then let's invite them all out to play next week."
"Okay, I'll go ask about it later."
"Then I'll rush back and finish all the work ahead of schedule. You can rest."
"Um."
After seeing the person off, Xia Shizhao went to check on Litang's situation. Once he confirmed that everything was alright, he turned and left the third floor.
His gaze drifted toward the villa on the side.
Then he calmly withdrew his hand.
The third organization.
In the alpha suppression chamber, a group of people stood outside, trembling with fear, listening to the clanging and banging sounds of things being smashed against the walls and heavy objects hitting the ground.
"Boss's current period of high susceptibility is really scary..."
"The inhibitors are no longer working, and the boss doesn't want to date omegas. This will only get worse after this..."
"What should we do? Increase the inhibitor dosage again?"
A loud bang startled the group, who wiped away imaginary cold sweat as they looked at the protruding wall.
Swallowing hard, Fu Ziran almost screamed, "Add! With this destructive power, people will die if she comes out!!!"
I'm still young, I don't want to die young!
He scrambled to the lab to study the drug, researching an enhanced version of the inhibitor.
What can be done? Finding an omega is the fastest way to solve the problem, but some people are unwilling to do so.
Fu Ziran gritted her teeth in frustration.
Suppression chamber —
Ye Qiuling leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, seemingly lost in a dream, and red marks gradually appeared on the back of her hand where she had been scratched.
Several years ago, at Xing Suo School, that was the time she was most seriously injured.
Equipment room.
"Here's the medicine. Be careful. I'm also afraid of them. I'm sorry."
A girl with her face covered and a muffled voice handed over a potion from outside the door. It wasn't high-level, only C-grade.
But for her at that time, it was a lifesaver.
She had multiple fractures and abrasions all over her body; she couldn't even lift her fingers.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then helped her swallow the medicine, treated her wound, and quickly fled.
When she regained consciousness, it was already dark.
Looking at the moonlight, she smiled self-deprecatingly, then placed her hand to the side and touched something soft.
Looking down, I saw a box of ointment and bandages, a sunflower-shaped pillow, a few expensive candies, and a small note.
"Let's become friends. You can call me Xiao Shi. This is my personal computer number."
She glanced at it, intending to leave, but couldn't resist squatting down at the door to pack her things away.
I got home very late, and Xia Shizhao wasn't in the living room, nor was the nanny.
Ye Qiuling felt slightly relieved and took all her things to her room.
The note was also put away and tucked into a notebook.
The next day, a small robot appeared by the window outside her seat.
His words were filled with concern for her.
At first she ignored it, but over time she gradually got used to the robot's frequent interruptions.
The two boys, who had never met, exchanged messages with each other using notes.
The diary gradually grew thicker.
Both sides knew each other's preferences very well.
One is taciturn, but will patiently listen to the other's rambling and mundane trivialities, and will firmly stand by her side regardless of right or wrong.
A lively and cheerful person, but also attentive to others' emotions and able to offer guidance.
I don't know how much time passed, but the hour hand on the clock went round and round.
Ye Qiuling, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, slowly opened her eyes. Strands of her sweat-soaked hair clung to her face and the back of her neck, and the strong, pungent scent of roses vanished in an instant.
Click the call bell, and the person guarding the door carefully opens it.
Ye Qiuling asked, "What day of the week is it today?"
"weekend."
Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she pursed her lips.
They left in a hurry.
