Chapter 48: CH 48

Chapter 48

After slipping away, Shi Nian also understood. Although there were many people watching the game recently, there were no opponents for him to fight casually. And it would be the same even during the day. After all, when people are online, they are organising training, so there is no way he can have anything to do with it.

It’s better to go to the backyard to exercise, and maybe he’ll be able to merge with his phoenix soon.

At that time, his phoenix body will be fully cultivated.

Lu Bo Ting had everything there.  All kinds of exercise equipment, and all kinds of interstellar weapons. He couldn’t think of what was missing.

If he hadn’t been hungry, he would have even forgotten to eat lunch.

“No wonder everyone says they can forget everything except eating. Even if they forget to eat, hunger will remind them.” Shi Nian muttered as he ordered his food.

After eating, he went back to training. He had no idea that the First, Second, Third and other schools, including the Sixth were now looking for him.

Not to mention the fact that he was being talked about even in the military department. Everyone was wondering who he was? How old was he? What grade he was in, and what he would do in the future.

“First, you need to get in touch with him.” An admiral spoke up.

“We have to be quick. Other families are watching too.”

Even Xue Chi was reporting to Lu Bo Ting, “It’s really a good talent. The chief instructor who was there happens to be one of our people. According to him, it’s definitely S+++, maybe even SS, because the other side didn’t seem to be using their full strength the whole time.“

“Marshal, don’t we have to hurry up?”

“Have you found out who it is yet?” Lu Bo Ting said, “Also, get me a game pod and create an account. I’ll go up and see for myself. “

Xue Chi immediately said, “Yes.”

However, when he checked on the person, he really couldn’t find them. “The IP address is classified as confidential, so I can’t find them out.”

Lu Bo Ting gave a start.

The places where the interstellar secrecy level was high were not many. But they were not few either.

For example; the imperial palace, his home, the homes of other marshals, the homes of parliamentarians, etc. There are also some classified level research places, military machine places, etc., adding up to being few by category, but many by number.

However, “Isn’t this game pod new? Go and ask the Yan family whether it was sold to any of these places. “

Adjutant Xue nodded and said: “By the way, after finding this good seedling, everyone was keeping an eye. I asked the two boys from the Wang family and the Lu family who knew him and seemed to be quite familiar with him, and our people also asked them“

In the end, those two boys really didn’t know anything, but, “The boy from the Lu family said that the other party was a fan of Shi Nian. He once asked why he was a fan of Shi Nian, and that person said that it was because he had money.“

Lu Bo Ting: “……“

In his heart, Xue Chi felt that this attitude toward money was so similar to that of his ancestor back home.

But it was useless for them to think about anything, as at that moment, Shi Nian was not online.

When he went online after dinner, he found a bunch of messages. Many people had added him, and when he looked at the names, they were all kinds of bigwigs. For example, the headmaster of this and that school, the legion’s so-and-so. Of course there were also many people who came to see the fun, and all they wrote was, “I heard you beat the chief instructor. Awesome, bro.”

Shi Nian even saw Principal Wu among them. He clicked “no” without even thinking about it. This one must not be added at all costs. It would let Principal Wu know who he was and that he was still playing games every day the whole time. As for the others, Shi Nian wasn’t prepared to add them either.

He had many people in his friends who sent him messages, and Lu Chengze’s avatar jumped the most.

When he opened it, he saw, “Damn, where did you go? What are we going to do when you are gone? They are all around us asking for news about you ……“

“Many people want to meet you. I heard that Marshal Lu Bo Ting Lu Marshal even created a special account to fight with you.“

Shi Nian: “…… what?”

The boss?

“The boss is the number one person in the interstellar!” Shi Nian thought, “If I can fight with the boss…. wait, no. That is the boss, ah!“

Shi Nian thought back to the decade he had fought in the dungeon games. One of the levels was related to being a social animal. He was so gullible at the time that he played chess with his boss half-heartedly. He ended up beating the boss, resulting in ……

The boss was so stingy that he fired him on the spot. For this reason, his mission was almost unfinished, which makes it simply memorable. Although it seems that Lu Bo Ting does not look like such a petty person, that incident has too much of a psychological shadow on him. Without even thinking about it, Shi Nian hurriedly got offline.

He didn’t want to fight with his boss. He didn’t want to lose, and he wouldn’t want to be stripped of his vest after he won. It would be better to play dead. He didn’t think it was a good omen at all.

Lu Chengze found him at this time and said, “Brother! You are finally online, ah!“

“Brother, wait, I’ll bring someone over to you.”

Shi Nian: “Roll!”

After saying that, he took the first step to get offline and leave. With such a commotion, it is obvious that it is definitely impossible to play today. And not only today, but tomorrow would also be out of the question.

“I should have known better than to be impulsive this morning.“

But he fights with a group of classmates every day, and it is rare to see someone who can fight better. He couldn’t hold back, okay!

Shi Nian made a reason for himself. He thought that he had luckily run fast. If he had to fight with the boss, he would accidentally win. Wouldn’t there be more people looking for him in the future?

“Shi Nian, you are really smart!”

After praising himself, Shi Nian went out of the game pod and went to the backyard to run for exercise. He couldn’t play the game anymore, but he could go drive a real mecha to have a good time. Lu Bo Ting had three mechs here. He had tried one of them last time, and this time he tried the other two as well. In summary, it was not as easy as in the game.

It’s not a question of operation. Rather, the game is too broad.He has a high level of consciousness, so he wants to take his time and learn to use it in reality.

It’s not a big deal; just get used to it.

In the game, he sometimes doesn’t even use that much of his divine sense.

Shi Nian was happily playing over here, not knowing that his boss had waited for him to come online, only ……

“He’s offline.”

Lu Chengze finished without holding back the madness: “He also told me to roll! To be honest, at which time did I not accompany him when he came to me before? “

A large number of people instantly surrounded them both again, “He was online? What did he say? “

“Nothing was said, just the word roll.”

Obviously, he didn’t want to see them and ran away.

The crowd: “……“

Everyone waited here because, on one hand, the talent was really rare. And on the other hand, they wanted to see what kind of a scene he would have when he fought with Lu Bo Ting.

Of course, no one thought that Shi Nian could beat Lu Bo Ting, except that once he did, they would know if his mental power was at double S.

Unfortunately, ……

“Break it up!”Someone said, “He’s definitely not going to be online again today.”

Lu Bo Ting didn’t even have time to enter the game pod before he got the news that the person was already offline.

“Alright, let’s put this aside for a while.” He said, “What about the two people? Didn’t you say earlier that you had news.“

Lu Bo Ting said as he headed out. There was not much business that was done today. If he hadn’t been waiting for that fan of Shi Nian, he would have left work long ago. Adjutant Xue followed behind him, already used to the rhythm, and said as he walked.

“I found a bit more. Should I talk about it now, or wait until we go back and talk about it…” After a pause, he added: “Some of it is related to Mr. Shi. .“

Lu Bo Ting paused for a moment and continued to walk forward, “Then let’s go back and talk.”

By the time they returned, Shi Nian had already played a round with the mechas. He was fetching a cupcake and was just about to eat it when he saw the man.

“Just in time.” Lu Bo Ting said, “There’s news.”

Shi Nia immediately gave a lurch. In a rare move, he brought a glass of water to each man. Of course, it was poured by a robot. He just placed the order.

“Tell me about it!” Shi Nian said as he headed to the sofa.

Adjutant Xue said, “Right! At the time and place you told me, Mr. Shi, they stayed inside that shop for a while before leaving the Main star.“

Shi Nian nodded. These two demons were really confident. They left as soon as they were done, not even coming back to look at the results.

“Is that all?”

“There’s more.” Xue Chi said and looked at Shi Nian, “We checked back and found that one had appeared by your side a few times, Mr. Shi, and even talked to you. After the conversations, he smiled very ominously each time.“

The previous “resurrection from the dead” incident was too big. No one paid attention to the fact that these two were talking next to Ji Yiqing, dismissing it as a coincidence. And even if someone had found out about it, the focus was definitely not there. Until, it turned out that those two people were targeting Shi Nian, and they had already made contact in advance.

So was Ji Yiqing, who also happened to be in that shop on the same day, still really just a coincidental passer-by?

“Our people have already gone to Ji Yiqing to ask for information.”

As he said that, Xue Chi’s light brain rang. The other party said something, and Deputy Xue’s expression became very odd.

After a while, he hung up and said, “So the time and place you gave us was asked from Ji Yiqing’s mouth ……“

Just now, Ji Yiqing got the same question and asked strangely: “Why do you all care about this? Last time, Shi Nian came and asked. Is there any problem with those two people?

Facing Xue Chi’s gaze, Shi Nian’s face was justified, “Otherwise, what? Did you think I suddenly had a vision or that I dreamed of it? “

Adjutant Xue: “……“

Adjutant Xue knew he couldn’t say anything. He was no match. He resolutely continued with the latter, “There’s another thing that’s rather strange. Every time when they appeared, the video footage would always be a bit blurry.“

He originally thought that there was something wrong with the shop’s surveillance. After all, if those two were carrying some kind of equipment, they could just block the surveillance. What was the point of making it blurry? But now it looks like they had something to do with it for sure.

Shi Nian thought that it was expected. When a demon cultivator does something, there will naturally be demonic Qi leaking out, let alone a real demon. It would not be visible to the general public, nor could the surveillance cameras, but they would be slightly affected.

He asked Xue Chi to send over the surveillance footage.

He focused on the segments where the other party touched the original owner.

Adjutant Xue looked strange. Do you have to watch the things you have experienced yourself again? The story won’t be different from a different angle.

But he didn’t know that, in fact, Shi Nian didn’t have any memories of this section at all. His memories of this world came from the original owner, and what the original owner did not remember, he certainly did not remember either. When he saw those two demons earlier, he knew that the original owner’s death must have been related to them. But he never knew how they did it, until now!

The two demons had touched the original owner seven times, not counting the ones that hadn’t been discovered. Seven were the ones that had been discovered and caught on camera. And every time, they used magic power. That’s enough for the original owner to die 17 or 18 times. The reason they hadn’t done anything direct was that they probably didn’t want to reveal their identities for the time being, and they also wanted to let the original owner die in a natural way.

Shi Nian thought it was indeed quite natural. He hadn’t even been able to find out the cause of death.

It was also true that two demons could crush someone to death with a single lift of their hands. They could easily make someone with only D-rank mental powers into an idiot or even simply become brain dead just by using their divine sense. They had gone to such great lengths and taken so long for such a thing. How could they not do it perfectly?

“I have to see Ji Yiqing one more time.” Shi Nian said. He had to go and confirm one other thing.

Lu Bo Ting immediately said, “I’ll arrange it.”

Shi Nian smiled, “You’re not asking me why?”

Lu Bo Ting shook his head. He always felt that if he asked, Shi Nian would not say anything. Otherwise, at this point in the conversation, he would have just said so.

“Xue Chi, get ready to go now.”

When he finished the last two bites of the cupcake, he followed the two of them and went to find Ji Yiqing.

Ji Yiqing had been having a hard time recently. Not only because he was in a place with no freedom. But also because he was uneasy in his heart. After all, anyone who learns that their ex-boyfriend is suddenly so successful while they were in a situation like his would be uncomfortable.

He was already in bad spirits, but he was still being asked questions all the time. By the time Shi Nian came in, he was on the verge of exploding with annoyance.

“He’s in a very bad state of mind.” The police officer there said, “The questioning inside can’t continue. He was already an S-rank mental power. His mental sea is not too healthy, he can’t be too stimulated. “

“Tell them to stop!” Shi Nian said, “If there was anything, he would have said it long ago. Since he didn’t say anything, he really doesn’t know anything. “

If Ji Yiqing had anything at all to do with this, he would not have talked about it that day.

The scumbag still didn’t know anything.

When he saw Shi Nian, he instantly said, “It’s Bai Zihan again? It’s him, isn’t it? He deliberately sent those two people over. He deliberately made me feel hopeful in order to target you. “

See, this guy still thinks the culprit is that surname Bai.

“Bai Zihan! Bai Zihan! You used me! “

Seeing that he was in a really bad mental state, Shi Nian waved his hand and let out his phoenix. Once it came out, it had quite an effect on Ji Yiqing. The frantic appearance diminished quite a bit, “Shi-Shi Nian.”

Ji Yiqing leaned back in his chair and said, “Sorry, I’m always like this lately. I can’t control it.“

Looking at him at this moment, he looked like a tired but polite person. This time he didn’t beg for forgiveness, nor did he jump up and say something nasty about being together again. He looked inexplicably pleasing.

Shi Nian looked at him and suddenly asked, “How did you get your S rank.“

“I just woke up and suddenly felt like my mental power was different, so I went to test it.” Shi Nian’s question was much easier to answer than the questions those people had just asked.

After answering, Ji Yiqing asked again, “Was there something wrong with those two people?”

Shi Nian nodded, not hiding anything from him, “Yes, there is a problem. Had you seen them before? “

Ji Yiqing shook his head, “Never met them.”

Shi Nian knew that even if he had come into contact with them before, with the methods of the demons, it was possible that Ji Yiqing would be aware of them.

Just like the original owner, that memory had disappeared so naturally that even Shi Nian hadn’t noticed anything wrong. He also asked this because he thought that since Ji Yiqing was an A-rank, and his mental power was much stronger than the original owner’s, perhaps it could be a little different and have some memories.

When Shi Nian didn’t say anything for a while, Ji Yiqing continued to think. Suddenly, he remembered, “I seem to have met them once. Just before my spiritual power upgrade….No, no, it seems I had not.“

He frowned uncomfortably, and only then did Shi Nian say, “Don’t think about it.”

Then he notified the outside, “Go take him for a mental power test!”

Adjutant Xue immediately went to do it.

The others looked at Lu Bo Ting. Marshal Lu did not order it just now, correct? How come the adjutant went ……

How could they know that Xue Chi was used to it? He had to follow Shi Nian’s orders as if they were his Marshal’s. Otherwise…

The equipment for testing spiritual power was not difficult to find. Especially if it was said that Lu Bo Ting was the one needing it. Soon, someone brought the instrument over, and Shi Nian looked up at Ji Yiqing and said, “Go in!”

Ji Yiqing sensed something and could not help but shake his head, “No, no, no.”

Shi Nian then became even more certain that his guess was right. Ji Yiqing had noticed that his mental strength had risen, so naturally, he should have felt it when it dropped. But he just couldn’t believe it.

Shi Nian did not rush him, just sat quietly and waited.

After a long while, Ji Yiqing took a deep breath and asked, “This matter is very important, right?”

Shi Nian nodded, “Yes, it’s important. Not only to me, but to some other people and some things. “

“And then…”

“Yes.” Shi Nian thought he was going to negotiate the conditions, so he said: “If you help confirm it, and make up for it, I will not hold you accountable for the rumours about me earlier.”

“I don’t mean that…” muttered Ji Yiqing. He stood there, smiling bitterly, for a long time before saying, “One should really do something good! I had the good intention of helping you once, but the results…..” Looking at the instrument in front of him, Ji Yiqing no longer resisted. He closed his eyes and walked in by himself. He had a complicated look on his face because he never thought that he and Shi Nian would one day be in such a situation, having such a conversation.

The other man was towering over him, controlling his fate for at least the next few years; whether he would remain here or be able to go out and live freely. But he seemed like a fool, and he didn’t even know what he was doing. All he knew was that it was supposed to be important, otherwise, a character like Shi Nian would not have given up the case for this.

At the last moment, he turned back and seemed to see the pity in Shi Nian’s eyes.

What was he pitying? Was he pitying him for being a college student and ending up in this situation?

The truth is that he has always despised Shi Nian. But now, he knows that it was really he who should have been despised all along. When he entered the machine, he didn’t even need to say anything to Shi Nian. Someone immediately started testing.

The results came out quickly: “B grade.”

It wasn’t even a B+, just an ordinary B grade.

However, the fact was that it was a B grade now, and it would probably be less after that.

Shi Nian thought that the demons had probably tampered with his mental powers, briefly rising it to S rank. Yet those demons only care about development, not what happens to you later. When the backlash comes, this is the consequence.

No wonder Ji Yiqing had risen to S-ranked spiritual power, but he was still such a rookie, unable to defeat Zhang Jing Kai or Chu Feng Yu, and had no feeling of getting stronger at all. That strength of his was all fake.

If it weren’t for the fact that Shi Nian had always looked down on this scum and felt that he deserved to be a rookie, he would have sensed that something was wrong a long time ago.

The others, however, were stunned, “Isn’t he an S-rank mental power?”

“Before the upgrade,, it was A-rank. Even if the last measurement was wrong, it was not so……”

Lu Bo Ting intuitively looked at Shi Nian, whose eyes were filled with emotion. He walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shi Nian shook his head and said, “Suddenly I feel that Ji Yiqing is quite pitiful. Both humans and non-humans are using him regardless of his physical and mental health. But then, if it wasn’t for his unscrupulous heart, engaging in some kind of scum act, other people wanting to use him wouldn’t have been able to do so. So then I think that he actually isn’t really pitiful and deserves his bad luck. “
