Bam!
At that mont, the sound of the door opening ca from the living room.
The apartnt had three rooms and a living room; Li Feng’s room was on the left, Zou Anng’s on the right.
They both walked into the living room, exchanged a glance, and then looked at the fridge, clearly both intending to find sothing to eat.
"It slls so good," Zou Anng said. "I wonder which neighbor is cooking mushrooms. It’s really inconsiderate, making hungry like this."
Li Feng opened the window and inhaled the aroma, "It seems like it’s the family of nine upstairs. Having parents around feels good; at least they bring us so nice food from ti to ti."
"Reminds of those high-end matsutake mushrooms from the restaurant,"
Zou Anng swallowed his saliva, his face showing a look of longing:
"Fragrant, sweet, tender, smooth! Do you still rember the luxurious matsutake mushrooms our parents used to bring back from the restaurant when we were kids? The three of us probably will never forget that..."
"No worries, we’ll have better days ahead," Li Feng mumbled. "I’ll take you all out for a good al in the future! Live in a big house every day, beco academic authorities, and read good books together!"
Liu Jun wasn’t bothered by the noises of the two hungry ones outside. Instead, he weighed the pros and cons and made a phone call.
"Si, is that you? This is Liu Jun, I’d like to request a ten-day leave... Yes, I’m feeling slightly unwell."
A gentle voice ca from the other side, from Si Anhe,
"Please be careful. As the college entrance exams approach, the school won’t care if you attend or not."
"But your grades are your own, your life is your own. After the exam, it’s hard to find such good cultivation grounds, and you won’t enjoy the 20% student discount on books anymore."
"Do your best and work hard!"
"Don’t worry, after you graduate from high school, you’ll all be given work assignnts. I’ll assign you to a good unit so that you can strive to break through to Tier 3 before you’re thirty..."
After talking for about ten minutes, Liu Jun hung up the phone.
It always feels like teachers are like bosses in the workplace, very skilled at making promises. Do they say this to every student?
Truthfully, most of the third-year high school students here are Tier 2 Rain Realm Telekinesis Masters.
In other cities, they would be considered elite office workers.
But this city is different.
Here, Tier 2 Telekinesis Masters have no nurturing value.
Because they die by the ti they’re in their thirties, their pri period lasts only about ten years.
Thus, after graduating high school, they don’t go to college but work for the city’s developnt.
They earn cultivation resources to break through to Tier 3 while repaying the boon of the city’s free acid rain benefits.
This perfectly achieves a win-win for the city and the students.
This unique economic model has fueled the rise of Rehe City.
Thoughts wandered.
"Later, I need to get the [Low Symptoms] talent to hide any abnormalities." Liu Jun pushed open the window, looking at the brightly lit tropolis.
If soone discovers that he’s different, it would be nearly impossible to die peacefully.
The chanical superpowers, big corporations, crazy scientists, they would surely be very interested in anomalous beings like him.
...
...
Ti passed by.
After taking leave, a few days went by peacefully for Liu Jun.
He casually redirected attention when it ca to the duo and used his enhanced Telekinesis ntal Power to mask their perception.
Subsequently, they didn’t notice any more fragrant mushroom aromas, rushed off to school every day, and ca ho exhausted by dusk, bringing back the school’s free als for him at night.
In these few days, Liu Jun’s focus was on this great pot of mushroom soup, which was his ticket to stability!
Idling away at double speed
The mushrooms evolved faster with the [Mushroom Soup] talent boost.
Liu Jun even poured in household trash, tissues, fruit peels, books; this huge pot of soup could slowly digest them all.
Like a cheap trash bin.
However, the idle speed multiplier was too low, leaving him sowhat dissatisfied.
Several tests led Liu Jun to believe that he needed higher-grade energy materials to fuel the fire and cook the soup, thereby boosting the multiplier.
Moreover, the second discovery was:
The volu limit of the mushroom soup was quite unique.
Yes, this was another big surprise!
After throwing in various items like beds, tables, and chairs, the mushroom soup pot would expand to the size of the room!
Currently, this pot of soup could be as small as a bowl, or expand to fill a room. No one knows how large it can beco, perhaps big enough to contain the sun and moon? It’s practically a super treasure.
It seems like anything can be boiled into the soup, used for evolution, to extract talents!
Perhaps I should consider opening a landfill?
Help clean up waste, engage in environntal protection to make money? And brew talents from trash?
After all, being a heavy industrial city, this place produces a lot of garbage.
Despite my excitent, what leaves quite speechless is that after conducting the mushroom soup size test, the items retrieved from the "mushroom soup," like beds and chairs, were soggy, turned into mushroom-corroded wood scraps.
After that, Liu Jun still shut himself in and didn’t leave the house, and nothing happened, except he received a text ssage.
Ding!
[Rehe Cloud Safety Guard Reminder: Dear Liu Jun, as of March 20, 7791, your cloud mory service has expired. If paynt is not made overdue, non-essential mories (such as your first love, anti-corporate protest experience) will be deleted.]
But he didn’t really care, he planned not to pay for the cloud service anymore.
On the night of the third day of leave.
The two people, as usual, ca back from school and showed concern for Liu Jun’s health, then started gossiping.
"Let tell you, Xu Changsheng is too miserable, today he was again..."
"Li Chengshan is really sothing else."
Evidently, Xu Changsheng went ho to rest due to a serious illness.
Liu Jun was pretending to be sick, while the other was truly sick.
And according to the Little Fatty who visited him, this person had a major change in personality, suspected of being forced into a cyber syndro, from timid to calm and collected.
"I heard he even made so particularly sinister expressions." Li Feng made a (͡°͜ʖ͡°) face, vivid as if he was there in person.
But no one laughed, instead there was a sense of bitter sympathy like the death of a rabbit causing sadness in a fox, spoken with quite a bit of sympathy.
Liu Jun just listened quietly, although he felt Xu Changsheng’s personality change was sowhat peculiar.
Hmm, worth investigating.
Good, feels even more like not going to school now.
"By the way, have you heard? A woman from District 12 gave birth to an Innate Saint child, the baby floated himself up with telekinesis the mont he was born, and the scene was imdiately secured by Rehe Heavy Industry’s army to protect the entire neighborhood and escort them, it’s too scary!"
"Ah! Born at our end point."
"I’m so jealous."
"I’m jealous of his mom! Having such a son imdiately elevates her status, turning her into the Eldest Young Madam of a new academic family."
"I wonder when a new model of Intelligent Brain based on this baby will be produced?"
Liu Jun paused his eating, sowhat surprised at the news.
Rehe City produced an Innate Saint?
In this world, people naturally gifted with the ability to cultivate telekinesis are very rare.
Born naturally, one in a hundred billion.
In ancient tis, such people were even called Wenqu Stars descending to Earth, and at their birth, purple aura swept from the east, carrying a very strong mysterious aura.
Throughout history, they were extrely rare.
One person could rival a thousand troops, fly and teleport, command ten thousand swords, and gradually form legends of deities.
With the developnt of the tis, ancient humans learned to share their powers, learned their way of studying, and ford similar Confucian scholars, leading to the era of the Supre Confucian Sage who could kill with their spirit.
Now, today.
Humanity further obtains their power.
In this era, geniuses with Saint’s Brain are taken at birth to beco core mbers of major forces for focused cultivation, and intelligent brain models are developed based on their brains.
It can be said that every artificial intelligent brain model we use now has an Innate Saint’s telekinesis genius as the original machine behind it.
Yes.
We all use cloned brain modules of Innate Saints, manufactured on production lines into intelligent brains to cultivate telekinesis.
In summary.
At school, soone like Xu Changsheng, now reduced to a primary cognitive impairnt group, would not be able to cultivate telekinesis at all without the assistance of an intelligent brain, and his studies would co to a halt.
"Why aren’t you saying anything?" Li Feng looked at Liu Jun.
"Not much energy." Liu Jun kept eating, his head lowered.
"Then get more rest." Zou Anng said.
"Yeah, yeah." The carefree Li Feng quickly chid in.
Both of them were a little worried about Liu Jun, but were afraid that saying too much would cause psychological pressure.
Everyone had grown up together in this rental room, and it wouldn’t be the sa without any of them now.
Even if we put aside emotions and talk about interests, finding another reliable intelligent brain roommate in this city was too dangerous.
The case of Xu Changsheng, the school flower, and Little Fatty trio is an example; when a chain of suspicion forms, the team will inevitably collapse.
But sticking together also had benefits.
Just like Li Feng said, if one of the three successfully breaks through class barriers and reaches a higher tier, they will certainly support the other two as their core team.
After all.
Who would be more suited to be the closest core team than the two who grew up together?
Huddling for warmth, and when one succeeds, everyone rises together, is also an effective ans for these children of humble backgrounds to greatly increase their chances of breaking class barriers!
Monts later, Zou Anng sighed, "Ai, if only I could have such a child, I’d be the Eldest Young Madam of a wealthy family, never needing to strive again."
At night.
After several days of eating als brought back by the two from the school cafeteria, and listening to them gossiping about school, Liu Jun finally reached the next stage.
The boiling mushroom soup roiled, for the second ti reaching 100% on the progress bar.
The second ability, born!
