Chapter 100
Even in his wildest dreams, Councillor Wu was afraid that he could not understand how this could have happened.
âHe drank the boosting agent, and instead of dying or going crazy, he actually managed to boost his spiritual power?â
âImpossible!â Wu Chao Yi, who was sitting on one side, said immediately, âWe have tested so many people, in all kinds of conditions and with all kinds of mental powers. All of them, without incident, ended up dead. â
There were many S-class people with high spiritual power, so how could he be the only one who had good luck?
âThen what do you think is going on here?â
Wu Chao Yi immediately stopped talking. How could he possibly know?
âCould it be that Shi Nian made some kind of medicine? No, it canât be.â Wu Chao Yi said, shaking his head in denial.
âHeâs so young and was able to refine the juice of Qianbai flowers to 100 percent, which is already very impressive. How could he have saved the damage caused by the boosters? Not to mention, he was so busy fighting us all day that he couldnât have had time to research. Even if he had had time to research, he still had to spend his mind on other things, so he couldnât have achieved anything. â â
And if he really did it, then why not just use this time to strike while the iron is hot, announce it, and boost the spiritual power of the Lu family on a large scale. But what was this all about?
âGrandfather, Iâll go to the lab and find two more people to experiment with.â
âGo on!â Councillor Wu said, âBe careful.â
On Shi Nianâs side, the students were going crazy, each one wailing.
âThis is 4S, isnât it? He skipped right over 3S. â
âIs this real, and isnât that dragon enormous?â
âThe federation must be getting sour again. Tsk tsk. What a pity for them that Marshal Lu belongs to our empire.â
Shi Nian quietly contacted Xue Chi: âSuch an exciting moment must be shared.â
Adjutant Xue: â??â
Shi Nian: âI mean, the two zerg who are imprisoned. They are immersed in a small, dark room all day, lacking entertainment. With this good news, how can we not show them and make them happy too? â
Happy?
Xue Chi thought to himself, âYouâre really hurting them. Youâre not happy until they probably vomit blood!â
But, âWhat about the Wu family?â
âDonât worry.â Shi Nian said, âI donât need to slap their faces with it. Believe it or not, they canât wait to smell any fart out there, let alone a big one like this.â
Star network was going crazy, and Bai Zihanâs eyes were red as he watched the scene.
âWhy is Shi Nian so lucky? Why does Marshal Lu like him? Itâs clear that he just likes his power. Iâm the only one who really likes him!â
He had been having a bit of a hard time lately. After all, he had to suffer and sell misery. But the good thing was that Yue Xing Ranâs attitude towards him was much better, so he knew it was working.
When heâs done with Yue Xinran, heâll see if he can persuade him to help pull strings to Lu Bo Ting.
Even if they are together, they can still get a divorce if they are married. Both mother and son have the same bad luck anyway. His mother was squeezed out in the beginning, and now Shi Nian is in the same situation.
He was quite low in intelligence, so councillor Wu and Wu Chaoyi naturally wouldnât tell him a lot of things, so he still doesnât know how terrifying Shi Nian is. He is quite proud of himself, thinking that Shi Nian is a marginal star product that has some talent in pharmacy by chance, so he wants to compete with him.
He was just a D-ranked mental waste.
His mother, who was an S-ranked back then, was also very talented, but in the end, she had to give up her position and couldnât even stay on the main star.
Thinking about it, Bai Zihan sent another message to Yue Xinran.
He complained about his suffering.
Yue Xinran sneered after reading it.
As expected of a product of the Wu family; none is upright, righteous, or pure-minded. Even if this one is stupid, he appears to have an innate advantage when it comes to calculating people.
well.
Donât the Wus like to play dirty, so let us assist you in falling for the dirty tricks youâre best at.
â¦..
After watching Lu Bo Tingâs mecha battle, class was over. As soon as the teacher left the classroom, the crowd surrounded Shi Nian.
âGood, Brother Shi, youâre good. This is a 4S level sentinel!â
âThatâs right, you let me edit you out as being aggressive.â
What kind of guide can attack a 4S-level sentinel? He could imagine how many Marshal fans would have scolded him if he had written Marshal Lu as being weak.
He could only write it as if Lu Bo Ting was willing to act as if he couldnât beat Shi Nian for the sake of pampering his beloved. That was good enough.
The most important thing is that other people are quietly enjoying the CP stories, but they are the ones who are suffering with this master.
âForget about it. Letâs talk about relationships. Brother Shi, how did you and Marshal Lu get together? Who made the first move? â
âIt had to be Marshal Lu.â
âNo, weâ¦â Weâre not together yet.
But students had already cheered out. âI didnât expect it. Marshal Lu looks so cold, and I thought he wouldnât even give a glance at a beauty standing in front of him. But it turns out that when he met our brother Shi, he was also⦠â
Shi Nian was interrupted, and didnât know what to think. But he didnât refute it later.
The students chatted and talked about the war again.
âThe Zerg are so hateful that if they didnât exist, there would be so many fewer wars!â
âI think the real bad guys are the ones behind the scenes. The zerg are not our race, but the humans themselves are stabbing Marshal Lu in the back. Fortunately, for us, we have been blessed with good fortune. â
âFortunately, the Lu family reacted in time, and the old Marshal Lu went to the border in time, otherwise it would have been a disaster if a single zerg had been let in.â
Sitting on a chair, Shi Nian listened to their conversation and thought, âYes, if a bug is let in, it might hurt someone, or even eat someone.â
But the Wu family doesnât care about that.
Even if people died, even if the empire was in chaos, the Wu family would think it was worth it.
In their eyes, an empire where someone else is emperor is useless, even if it is good. And even if the empire was badly damaged, they could build it back up when it was in their hands.
They have no sense of national honour and no respect for life.
Not as good as these studentsâ¦
And at this moment.
In the Wu familyâs private laboratory.
Wu Chao Yi asked to test the booster again, and he also brought out a soothing agent made from the 100% pure juice of Qianbai flowers, which had been bought at the auction.
They suspected that the reason could be this soothing agent.
âYes.â
âMake preparations immediately.â
âThere are just two more people, so letâs use them for this experiment.â
One of the assistants began, âBut I thought those two people were more important, and theyâll have to beâ¦â¦ afterwards.â
âWhat time is it now? How can they be more important than the boosters? If it works, theyâll have to thank us. â
âBut, but theyâre very high in mental strength, and theyâre rare talentsâ¦â
âThere are plenty of talents. Besides, how can we experiment with low mental power? The person who succeeded now was a double S. Do you want me to experiment with D grade? â
âWhy are you talking so much today? Itâs a good thing councillor Wu has already left, otherwise he wouldnât be happy to hear this.â
The young assistant stopped talking after being lectured.
Iâm sorry, he thought to himself, I couldnât help you.
Human experimentation is forbidden in the Empire, and even necessary experiments are prepared first. Even then, the most heinous criminals are used first, or the researchers themselves and volunteers.
Not the kind of thing that is imposed on people when they are unable to resist.
This is now clearly illegal.
This was especially so when the experiment being carried out was for a booster that killed many people. It had been banned, and even though it would change the times if it succeeded, it had been forcibly suspended because experiments with holographic data and animals could not perfectly restored the real situation. Data could only be obtained when the drug is administered to humans.
And here, the research continues.
Before he came in, he knew nothing of this. Once inside, there was no way to get out of it.
He once met a colleague who was so upset that he said he was going to report it, and the next day there was an accidentâ¦
The scene in front of him was brutal, one person died, another went crazy, and finally, unable to withstand the surge of mental power, the spiritual sea was destroyed, directly dying.
This was not the first time that this had happened, but the young assistant was still in shock.
And after each incident, he would not be able to sleep through the night.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He quietly fished out a micro camera that he had taken a long time to bring in and recorded the whole thing.
â¦â¦..
Lu Bo Ting had finally finished his work and was able to take a break from it.
He had a matter to discuss with Yan Hualin, so they went to a private cafe.
After talking about business, Yan Hua Lin couldnât help but tease him a bit: âGood, youâre quick enough to catch people. I thought youâd have a hard time earlier. â ââ¦
â Lu Bo Tingâs expression froze, remembering clause 40 in the contract.
Yan Hualin was taken aback, âWhatâs wrong?â
If itâs about contracts, the businessman Yan Hualin has definitely signed more than he. He asked, âIf you sign a contract and thereâs a clause in it that you later regret,â¦â
âItâs not easy to handle, but everything that was written into a contract was very important and involved the interests of both parties.â
âIf I change my mind, the other party is unlikely to let me do so.â
âBut what if I have already breached the contract without realizing it?â
Hearing this, Yan Hualin was stunned.
His cousin did not seem to be the type of person who would make such a mistake.
âWhat is it? Is it serious? â He thought it was a matter of business. His expression instantly became serious again, âWhat did the legal affairs side sayâ¦â¦?â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
Ahem! With these kinds of terms, how could he ask the legal department?
Donât talk about affairs. Except for his mother and Adjutant Xue, who already knew about it, he didnât want anyone else to know about it.
Not even Yan Hualin.
Yan Hualin frowned and said: âNo one who can sign a contract with you is stupid, so it wonât be easy for you. By the way, what is the penalty for breaching the contract? Is it serious? â
Lu Bo Ting suddenly froze.
Although the contract was not drawn up by him, he also read the regulations.
One of the more restrictive ones was the Confidentiality Regulation, which was the most important one, and the price for breaching this clause was greater.
But for the other minor matters, a breach of contract would only costâ¦.. a little bit of money?
When Yan Hualin saw his cousinâs sudden expression, he relaxed a lot.
What is the situation?
Is there no price for breach of contract? Is this possible? Is the person who signed the contract doing charity?
However, it was clear that Lu Bo Ting would not give him an explanation.
Previously, his mind was full of Article 40, but now he had forgotten about it. After thinking for awhile, he made a personal payment to Shi Nian with a note that said âbreach of contract.â
When Shi Nian received the money, he was stunned, as today was not the monthly payment day from the Yan family. But a glance showed it was from Lu Bi Ting!
After thinking about it, he knew what this person meant.
The human race is really sinister.
Thinking about it carefully, this regulation seems like it only binds him if he was an ordinary teenager. But for Lu Bo Ting, he could take out the liquidated damages and casually get out of it.
Ohhâ¦
So he decided to send only this money with such sentence? Hmph!
Shi Nian sneered, his heart burning with anger.
So that day, as soon as Lu Bo Ting returned, he realised that something was wrong. The attitude was not as good as before.
Even Mrs. Lu noticed it and called her son aside to ask him questions.
Lu Bo Ting didnât want to say much, but now he obviously seems to have messed up. And his mother already knew about the terms of the contract and had seen the banners all over the house and yard.
Most importantly, he felt that Mrs. Lu was definitely stronger than him emotionally, so she might know why Shi Nian was angry.
It was clear that he had breached the contract, but he had also paid the liquidated damages!
Mrs. Lu: ââ¦â¦â
On hearing this, Mrs. Lu laughed out loud and fell directly on old Marshal Lu. She laughed so hard that she couldnât stand up, âLook at your son. Heâs a good fighter, but when it comes to relationships, heâs like a fool. Itâs ridiculous.â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
He tried to get his mother to stop laughing with a stern face, but to no avail.
Even his father laughed along with her, âStupid son!â
The tone of his voice was full of ridicule, âHow did you come up with such a brilliant way to pick a fight? Were you afraid that he wouldnât remember that clause in the contract? â
Lu Bi Ting said with a headache, âHe reminded me.â
To be honest, he had forgotten about this clause earlier.
Or rather, the two had signed a contract when they first met, but the way they got along afterwards, apart from the fact that he remembered to pay him on time, Lu Bo Ting no longer treated Shi Nian as an employee at all.
âThatâs â¦â¦â Mrs. Lu laughed even more and then took a moment to say, âIf Iâm not mistaken, you should have added a stern face next to the clause of not allowing Shi Nian to be attracted to you.â ââ
âWho wouldnât be mad at you? You flipped your own car, so youâll just have to sufferâ¦â¦ â
âItâs ridiculous. That is a breach of contract thing. So, if Shi Nian liked you, then the contract terms do not count for anything as long as he sends you money. â
Lu Bo Ting: â..â
âHow on earth did you come up with such an âexcellentâ and âgood idea.â
Mrs. Lu felt that she had had all the fun in her life.
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
Heâs the one who was being stupid.
The spraying from his mother was too deadly. Lu Bo Ting couldnât listen to it anymore and was about to go back to his study to calm down when he saw a figure swaying in one of the rooms on the first floor, seemingly laughing too.
He was leaning against the window, happy as could be.
It couldnât be anyone else. At this time of day, in that position, it could only be Shi Nian.
He heard it.
He heard it allâ¦and was laughing at his stupidity too!
But itâs better to laugh than to be angry at him.
