Chapter 97: Carbon-Based Flesh and Blood on Par with Gods, the Master of Thousands of Reds and Thousands of Beauties, Communication Between Big Figures (4K)
Fengcheng University, Horticulture College, in a flower garden.
Xue Wan hung up the phone and stared at the phone interface, looking thoughtful.
The Xue family has good genes, which gave her a good appearance, even facial features, soft eyebrows, and extremely bright eyes, as if hiding a pool of autumn water, shining between glances, the kind of beauty that will be immediately stunned at first sight.
The black long hair with a slight curl at the end flows to the waist like a black waterfall, and the white skin like milk makes her look not rustic even if she is just wearing a set of dirt-resistant pastoral clothes.
Xue Wan was thinking about something when a figure squatted in the flowerbed next to him, trimming the extra branches of the flowers in front of him, and asked in a cold tone:
"Is it your family again?"
Xue Wan came back to her senses, glanced at the squatting professor of horticulture, and smiled softly:
"It's... my brother, he said he would come to Fengcheng to see me in a few days."
The professor stood up from his squatting position, his dark green hair seemed to be braided into dreadlocks, and his hair drooped like vines, swaying like a living thing.
"I don't understand." She said in a flat tone.
"You are the one chosen by the Lord of Thousand Reds and Ten Thousand Beauties. Mortal kinship is meaningless to you. Why don't you let it go?"
Xue Wan heard this and sighed helplessly: "Why are you talking about this again, teacher."
"We are just given divine power, which does not mean that we have become gods... I am just a mortal in your words."
She smiled and sighed:
"My younger brother has started practicing martial arts recently. Even the news reported that he is a martial arts genius."
The professor stretched out his hand and gently brushed a delicate pink and white rose beside him.
In an instant, the rose began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming larger, spreading countless branches, and turning into a giant flower like a big tree.
There are countless vines extending from the giant flower, dancing in the air, densely packed, very scary.
"Martial arts are just the arrogant fantasies of mortals."
She spoke softly.
"Some people boast of it as 'the only path that belongs entirely to mankind', chasing after the tiny possibility, trying to leap to 'status' with pure carbon-based flesh and blood, and be on par with gods."
"However, in the past three hundred years of the New Era, it has been proven that this is an impossible thing. Even the one who is closest... can never take the step that seems to be within reach but is actually out of reach. In the end, he succumbed to the limitation of life span, underwent 'immortality surgery', and became 'impure things'."
"Your mortal brother is on a dead end... It's better to let him come to worship the Lord of Thousand Reds and Ten Thousand Beauties, maybe he can get the special treatment of the true gods, and step on the real steps to the gods with you..."
Xue Wan heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Teacher, I don't quite understand what you said."
"But, just in case, I have to say something disrespectful to you."
Her eyes seemed to be burning with invisible flames, and with a very stern warning, she spoke word by word, almost gritting her teeth:
"Don't attack my brother!"
The giant flower transformed by the rose next to her suddenly stiffened, quickly withered and turned yellow, and curled up until only a flower bud remained.
"..."
The professor's expression did not change, but he spoke with a calm tone:
"What a surprise, this is the first time I see you like this."
"It's cuter than your usual giggling appearance."
Xue Wan immediately put on a smiling face, "Eh? I'm cuter when I'm usually cute, right? Teacher, your aesthetic taste is a bit problematic."
Her state switching was extremely smooth, and her expression changes were seamless, as if nothing had happened just now, sweeping away the solemn atmosphere.
"Well, I suddenly remembered that I have classes today, so I'll leave first."
Xue Wan paused and said casually:
"Teacher, even if the students' words are not important, you still have to listen to them occasionally, otherwise the students will be angry."
After that, she raised her hands and stretched her waist, and left the flower garden briskly.
The professor looked at her back, thinking.
...
After hanging up the phone, Xue Jing pinched his chin, looking suspicious.
"What's the matter? Don't you want me to go there?"
"Have you got a boyfriend who is shameful? Or have you opened the door to a new world and are not ready to face your family?"
Xue Jing guessed with a bit of malice.
"Forget it, we'll know when we meet in a few days."
He shook his head, got up from the sofa, walked into the kitchen, and started preparing dinner.
When he finished cooking and his cooking skill was +80, the glass door of the balcony was pushed open. The cat shook itself outside the door, stepped on the mat with its paws to wipe off the dust, and then walked in.
"Teacher Wan is good at fortune-telling. Did you come back with a plan?"
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled, holding a pot of hot chicken soup in one hand.
Maomao ignored his teasing and walked to the bathroom with cat steps. She jumped onto the sink at the door, turned on the faucet, pressed the hand sanitizer next to her with her paw, and began to rub and clean her paw.
While washing, she spoke in a tender girl's voice:
"I just went to see Mr. An... the guy with the mask on his face before."
"I thought he was here to persuade me to go to the headmaster again, but this time he didn't say anything and remained silent. He looked like... a little scared?"
Maomao said uncertainly.
Xue Jing replied, "It should be because of the 'Snake Killer'."
Maomao hummed, "I think so too. After all, the Dragon Cult believes in the 'Infinite Dragon', and all dragons and snakes will be restrained by the 'Snake Killer'... If Mr. An gets some power from the headmaster, it's normal for him to have this reaction."
It turned off the faucet, wiped its clean paws with the small towel hanging next to it, left the bathroom, and jumped onto the dining table.
"Why don't you change back? It's so inconvenient to eat like this."
Xue Jing picked up the rice bowl, took a bite, and asked in confusion.
Maomao picked up a piece of braised pork with his claws, swallowed it into his mouth and chewed it, hesitating:
"Nodecuoyuhu (too lazy to wear clothes)..."
Xue Jing said indifferently: "Then don't wear it, it's not like I haven't seen it before."
Maomao rolled her eyes at him: "You and I have a very healthy and pure relationship between owner and pet. We should distinguish it from the kind of unavoidable situation. Otherwise, what am I?"
Xue Jing took a bite of rice and thought: When a woman shamelessly says that she is a pet, it is not healthy and pure no matter how you think about it...
But he didn't refute it, just laughed and said: "Just talk, as long as you are happy."
...
The next day.
After Xue Jing got up, he washed up, went out for a daily jog for an hour, and then finished breakfast, but he did not choose to go to Zhushanying's house to practice martial arts.
Instead, he carried his schoolbag and planned to go to school.
Sitting on the bus, Xue Jing calculated in his mind that he had not been to school since he killed the cockroach monster at the last school sports meeting.
The head teacher Du Shiwei used to call him to urge him about his academic problems, but he never urged him again after the school sports meeting. He seemed to let him do whatever he wanted and was very happy to approve his leave.
When he walked into the classroom with his schoolbag on one shoulder, Li Ge was the first to notice his figure.
"Fuck, Master Jing!"
He exclaimed.
The students in the elite class also immediately turned their heads to look at the door, and then exclaimed continuously.
"Fuck, Xue Jing, you actually came to school?"
"There's a rumor in the second grade that you've passed the 'martial arts exam' and went to an inner-ring university in advance. If you don't come to school, I'll almost believe it!"
"Why did the savior of our Qing Affiliated High School show up now? I can't even find a chance to thank you..."
"You're free after school tonight. Our classmates want to treat you to a meal. Don't refuse!"
The students in the elite class gathered around, talking excitedly.
If it were someone else, they would probably feel dizzy, but Xue Jing answered with a smile, and almost no one felt left out.
With the confidence brought by the improvement of martial arts, and the brain power blessed by a set of skills, he was quite comfortable dealing with such a situation.
After Xue Jing agreed to have dinner with them in the evening, the classmates gradually dispersed.
Then he and Li Ge chatted alone for a long time and said a lot until the bell rang.
After barely finishing the first math class, Xue Jing found that he couldn't keep up with the progress, so he slipped away after class and came to the Qingda Library.
This was the main purpose of his coming to school today, and reporting to the class was just a side job.
He swiped his library card and went straight up to the seventh floor.
In the old attic, there was still only the girl who exuded a quiet atmosphere, sitting upright on a wooden chair, holding a book in her hand, as quiet and beautiful as a painting.
Xue Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Boss, every time I see you, I feel like you haven't moved here for thousands of years..."
Wu Youqing paused slightly while turning the pages of the book, and said nonchalantly: "You mean, I look very old?"
Xue Jing smiled and replied: "People like you must have a very clear understanding of their own appearance... You can't fool me."
Wu Youqing snapped the book in her hand together.
"You know me well... but you don't know women."
She stood up, walked to Xue Jing, and tapped him on the head with a book in one hand.
"Even if you know it's not true, you will still be upset when you hear something unpleasant."
Xue Jing glanced at the cover of the book.
"Existence Beyond Strings - The Relationship between Person and Dimension".
"I have arranged the U19 match for you. From now on, you are a contracted martial artist of the Galaxy Martial Arts Club. You will represent the club as a seeded player in the Fengcheng knockout match."
Wu Youqing crossed her arms, raised her European Cup slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Galaxy Martial Arts Club?" Xue Jing asked in confusion.
"It is one of my family's businesses... Don't worry, the contract conditions signed for you are very loose. You can play the game if you want. There are no mandatory clauses."
Wu Youqing explained.
"You will go to Fengcheng in a few days. I will ask them to arrange an exclusive agent for you. All matters will be handed over to the agent. You only need to play the game."
Xue Jing nodded.
Then he said: "You can arrange the game, Boss, I have another thing to ask you today..."
Xue Jing told him in detail about the White Crow's entrustment of him to investigate the border area and the fact that he would be given GOD-508 as a reward.
"Go further..."
Wu Youqing's amethyst-like pupils moved slightly.
"I see..." She nodded, hummed, and said:
"I suggest you take this commission."
Xue Jing heard this and raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me more."
"【Bai Chi Gan Tou】is very useful to you now." Wu Youqing sat on the wooden chair, her posture was upright, and her hips in tight light blue jeans suddenly tightened, contrasting with her slender waist to show a full and round attractive curve.
Xue Jing tilted his head and asked:
"This thing is used to help people improve their skills, right? The best user is the kind of person whose skills have reached their limit and can't be improved... Although it is useful to me, it is not 'very useful', right?"
Wu Youqing shook her head: "You only know one thing, not the other."
"GOD-508 can only take effect once for anyone, and then it will never work again."
"And if you want to maximize its effectiveness, there are two ways to use it."
She raised her right hand, stretched out her index and middle fingers, and made a two.
"First, it is exactly what you said, to break through the limit of the peak skills that can no longer be improved, and continue to move up."
"Second, it is used to improve one's talent."
Xue Jing's eyes lit up.
"Talent?"
Wu Youqing nodded: "Not bad."
"Just put it on your head, do nothing for three days... or don't do anything deliberately, keep a lazy state, just think about practicing something in your heart."
"After three days, the bamboo joints grow, and the hundred-foot pole head goes one step further, and the talent of the thing you think of will be improved."
Xue Jing propped himself up and raised his eyebrows and said: "Is there such a use?"
"Why didn't Xu Ren tell me when he asked me for the commission?"
Xue Jing was a little confused.
As long as he said that the hundred-foot pole head had this use, his heartbeat index would soar by more than ten times, and the probability of accepting the commission would be greatly increased.
Wu Youqing smiled, "It's very simple, because she doesn't know either."
"The Hundred-foot Pole is a very important divine relic. Members of the organization must make great contributions to be rewarded and use it... A captain of Xu Ren's level is not qualified to know the details of the Hundred-foot Pole."
Xue Jing seemed to understand something.
Wu Youqing continued: "The one who asked you to entrust it was not Xu Ren, but her superiors... or in other words, it was not actually asked to you, but to me."
"The superiors of Bai Ya think you are my person, so [Hundred-foot Pole] is actually something to impress me."
Her tone was very calm, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.
After Xue Jing finished listening, his mind flashed with inspiration, and he instantly sorted out the relationship.
On the surface, this commission seemed to be asked by Xu Ren to him, but in fact, it was asked by the superiors of Bai Ya to Wu Youqing.
Therefore, Bai Ya gave [Bai Chi Gan Tou], a very important reward. This thing was not used to impress him, but to impress Wu Youqing, the rich boss...
So the top management of Bai Ya did not explain the specific function of Bai Chi Gan Tou to Xu Ren at all, because as long as this reward was given, Wu Youqing would naturally understand what this thing meant.
After all this time, his status was not enough for others to use this level of divine relics...
Xue Jing found it a little funny, but he was not upset about being looked down upon. He just felt that it was natural and this logic was correct. He did not show much ability to be valued now.
"In this case..."
Xue Jing looked at the girl in front of him, and an idea came to his mind.
"It is not impossible that Bai Ya could not find other candidates who could enter the border to explore."
"The reason why Xu Ren came to me and gave [Bai Chi Gan Tou] as a reward was the real purpose..."
"It was not for the purpose of 'not bowing to Zhi Ge', but to take the opportunity to get along well with the person in front of him..."
Xue Jing looked at the strange smile on Wu Youqing's lips and sighed inwardly.
"These big shots have too many twists and turns in their communication..."
...
