Chapter 38
Star Sector No. 44 is a small star city newly built on the ruins. The gathering point is in the middle of the ruins, and the surrounding area is very desolate.
Because of this, pollution detection equipment was sparsely installed outside the city, and the alarm was not sounded immediately. The 44th Legion arrived late.
At this time, Xi Yue had already taken Xiang Jia and the three children out of the abandoned building and sat in the starship hovering high in the sky, watching from afar.
Yuan Xu stayed at the scene.
The kidnapping case must be reported to the 44th Sector Public Security Office and reported to the Central Military District. The thirty-odd derelict citizens captured in the secret room also need to be properly appeased and repatriated.
In short, for Xiyue, the purpose of this trip has been achieved.
Saved a person, paid off the debt, and got the difference in the value of an asset that had not yet been acquired.
She was very satisfied.
Xi Yue withdrew her gaze and scanned the cabin. This wasn't the starship she'd bought. The pilot was a taciturn, burly man with a rather unflattering name: Xiaozi. He was, it was said, the personal pilot for Yuan Xu's steward.
Xipo was sitting in the passenger seat.
After being expelled from Sector 42, he headed straight for the Admiral's Mansion in Sector 33, where he encountered a starship dispatched by Yuan Xu. The two of them sped through the star regions under Yuan Xu's control, arriving at Sector 42 in time to pick him up.
Except for Shi Hanyi, the other two children are still in a coma.
Xiaozai glanced at the wide-angle rearview mirror and said in a muffled voice, "There's a treatment device under the seat."
"We've already given them the nutritional supplements." Xi Yue said, "Let's go."
The nutrient was found in the secret room, so removing the anesthesia's effects would be easy; it just took some time. Furthermore, Fernhead was a talkative person, and the thought of him asking questions when he woke gave Xiyue a headache.
It would be better to let him faint. Although...
Xiyue was very curious about Fernhead's awakening of his spiritual power.
"When I went in, several mecha soldiers inside were all dead. It was all his fault. There was a mental power detector inside, and I tested him...A. level."
When Xiang Jia talked about this, he tried his best to calm his tone, but Xiyue still heard the shock in it.
It mainly comes from three aspects:
First, there are very few people who can reach A-level when their mental power is awakened for the first time.
Xipo's rank upon awakening was just above the B-rank threshold, and he would successfully advance to A-rank at the age of eighteen. According to many people's expectations, after graduation, he would join the Legion and experience the excitement of frontline combat, with a high probability of continuing to advance to S-rank.
In terms of the distribution of mental power levels, Xipo is already one of the lucky few at the top of the pyramid.
As for Fern Head, he was already A. level when he first awakened, or even in the middle A. level, with a mental strength value of 90%.
The second is the age of awakening.
Generally speaking, the younger the age, the higher the initial level of awakened mental power. Xipo was only four years old when he awakened. It is said that many strong people above S level have awakened when they were two or three years old.
From the age of one to seven, not only does the probability of awakening drop significantly, but the level after awakening will not exceed B level - this is common knowledge known throughout the galaxy.
Fernhead is exactly seven years old this year. Even Li Kangwen and his wife have prepared for the fact that their son will not awaken his mental power, but he suddenly awakens his A-level mental power.
The third point is even more bizarre: awakening is awakening, combat is combat, and how to use mental power to control mental weapons and mecha requires a relatively long learning and training process.
As soon as Fern Head awakened, he controlled the mecha and killed four mecha soldiers.
Xiang Jia was puzzled, but Xi Yue had already guessed the reason - Han Yi.
Combined with Xiyao's sudden surge in mental power to C-level, the situation becomes very clear: Shi Hanyi is not only the "God of Pollution" like her, but also has the ability to change his mental power value.
The reason why it is a "change" rather than an "improvement" can be seen from the way he dealt with Tang Zhishang. Without lifting a finger, Tang Zhishang lost the ability to escape.
The latter lost control of the mecha, apparently because his mental power was disturbed or suppressed.
If Shi Hanyi is the same type of person as her, doesn't that mean she can also master this ability?
What does this mean? It means that she can use this ability to transform trash citizens into high-level mecha warriors!
Xi Yue was inevitably excited, but with Yuan Xu present, she did not ask Han Yi directly, and also secretly signaled Xiang Jia to conceal the fact that Fern Head killed the mecha soldier.
Yuan Xu thought that those mecha soldiers had died at Xiang Jia's hands, so he couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
Xizi sent the people back to Sector 29 and left. Before Xiyue could even get down the ravine, she was surrounded by residents who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Brothers Chen Yu and Chen Rong were also among them. Upon learning that Xi Yue had not only successfully rescued the three children, but had also worked together with General Yuan to wipe out the kidnapping den, he excitedly went to hug his brother, but was pushed away by Chen Rong in disgust.
Li Kangwen and Du Yun cried with joy while holding Fern Head, and Yaya was returned to Zhu Yuanfu and his wife.
Xiyue watched coldly, and found that Zhu Yuanfu and Wang Bifang couldn't help wiping away a few tears, and her heart changed slightly.
After all, I have some feelings for my daughter, so it’s not too unfair for me to be a parent.
"Miss Ji," Chen Yu stopped the other residents and came forward. "I've already reported Miss Ji's heroic act of self-sacrifice to the central branch. They took it very seriously and quickly approved the award application!"
"award?"
"Yes, it's the starship used by the kidnappers. Once the branch office finishes investigating the kidnapping case, ownership of the starship will be given to Miss Ji. Oh, now that the kidnapping den has been busted, you don't have to wait any longer; it's yours now."
Xi Yue raised her eyebrows. Half of the cabin of the starship was destroyed by her, and its recycling value was greatly reduced.
Chen Yu's smile froze. "Well, I know Miss Ji doesn't think much of this stuff, but even if I sell it as recycling, it's worth a lot of money, at least 20 million."
This is the biggest reward he can get for Xiyue within his ability.
"Thanks."
"...Don't thank me. I should thank Miss Ji for helping save people."
Chen Yu was embarrassed. Otherwise, if he were to chase the kidnapper with a mecha by himself, let alone catch or rescue people, he would be lucky if he didn't get killed in return.
After Chen Yu finished speaking, Xiyao was pushed forward by other residents.
Xiyue took a quick look and saw that the residents' faces were full of excitement and anticipation, and their eyes were sparkling as they looked at her.
"Don't worry, the big boss will not only agree, but will also be very happy!"
Xiyao comforted them and hugged Xiyue's arm with her red and swollen eyes.
"Sister, didn't you say you would rent them the farmland for free? They were very happy and asked me to urge them to sign the lease."
It turned out to be this.
Xiyue couldn't help but look at the residents again, only to hear Xiyao lower her voice: "Their family members who were kidnapped were all rescued by their elder sister."
I see.
Xiyue nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her smile.
These people regarded accepting rent-free farmland as a way of repaying a favor, but the problem was that Xiyue built a survival barrier and sold seeds and supplies on credit, which clearly meant giving them benefits.
Treat accepting benefits as a way of repaying a favor?
Whatever, as long as the plan can move forward, it's fine. It was a fortuitous outcome; the sudden kidnappings and robberies helped the residents stop being hostile to him.
"Regarding the land lease, the contract is ready. You can just contact the second boss directly. However, the survival barrier will take a month to complete, so you can use this time to cultivate the land. If you are not familiar with farming and encounter any problems, you can ask Li Kangwen for advice. We can also exchange and learn from each other."
"Don't worry, boss. I'm very familiar with farming. The temporary job I found outside is in a farming company!"
"Me too, me too!"
"I'll bring the neighbors over later!"
The residents responded enthusiastically.
Xiyue nodded and instructed Xipo: "Notify Shanzhuang that work can begin tomorrow. Oh, and tell them to keep an eye on their spiritual weapons. I don't think anyone will cause trouble."
The blueprints were almost ready, and Shan Zhuang was supposed to bring someone over today to do some basic preparatory work. Because of the kidnapping incident, Xi Yue told them to wait.
It’s not a wasted wait.
-
The two couples of employees took their children home. After a while, Xiyue knocked on Li Kangwen's door.
"Big Boss."
Li Kangwen's eyes were still bloodshot, and he was a bit dull by nature, not knowing how to express his gratitude. Du Yun rushed over after hearing the noise and knelt down when he saw Xiyue.
"Thank you, Boss, for rescuing Fern Head for us. If Fern Head were gone, I..."
Xiyue helped her up: "Don't talk about things that didn't happen. I came here to tell you a happy news. If you want to cry, wait until I finish listening to it."
"Happy event?" The couple looked at each other.
Xiyue closed the door and led them to the back of the room. Fernhead was still lying on the bed, talking nonsense in his sleep.
Maybe he wasn't satisfied with the fight, so his arms and legs would twitch from time to time.
"Fernhead has awakened, A. rank."
After these words were spoken, Li Kangwen and Du Yun were stunned for a long time.
Xiyue could only add, "And it's a good one in the A-class, the A90."
"...Really?" The two still couldn't believe it.
Xiyue took out a tester and tested Fernhead on the spot.
The equipment was taken by Xiang Jia from the secret room, and naturally became the trophy of this trip.
The moment the value changed from "0" to "1", Du Yun suddenly covered his mouth, and with his eyes blurred by tears, he watched the value rise all the way to "90" before stopping.
She burst into tears.
Li Kangwen put his arm around his wife's shoulders, his voice hoarse, "This child was tested just two months ago, and it was still E0... He's already seven years old, and he suddenly reached A. level. How is this possible..."
Even he found it unreasonable.
"Boss, how did you find out?"
Xi Yue shook her head: "It wasn't me who discovered it, it was the kidnapper who discovered it."
She concealed the truth. Especially since Fernhead had single-handedly killed four mecha soldiers, she couldn't tell his parents no matter how hard she tried. This was even more abnormal than awakening a high-level spiritual power.
Besides, no parent can easily accept the fact that their 7-year-old son killed four people.
"Besides telling you about Fernhead's awakening, I came here mainly to discuss with you not reporting the test results."
Li Kangwen was stunned. "The boss is saying... don't let Fernhead go to school?"
Whether or not one's spiritual power is awakened is directly linked to one's eligibility to receive education.
In theory, no matter how old you are, as long as your spiritual power awakens to level D, you are eligible to go to school. There are two types of schools: Mecha Academy and Vocational Academy.
There was only one Mecha Academy, located in the Central Star Region, directly managed by the central government. After graduation, most graduates chose to join the military and were then assigned to local regiments by the central government.
Vocational colleges are found in many local star regions, and are managed by local military units. Most graduates are working professionals, and their mental strength, citizenship, and treatment are inferior to those of military personnel.
According to the regulations, anyone with a B-level mental strength must be admitted to the Mecha Academy. A-level students are treated more generously and can even help their parents settle down in the central star region.
To be honest, Li Kangwen has already thought about moving his family to the central star region.
But the boss said, don’t report the test results and don’t enroll in school?
