Chapter 52: Master Wang, the Dependent
Chapter 52: Master Wang, the Dependent
It was six days after the death of the Minister of Biology.
Eleventh floor of the fortress, residential area near the central circular park.
It was about nine o'clock in the evening in the fortress, and most of the residents were resting.
Two members of the Upper City Law Enforcement Team were knocking on doors one by one to ask questions, constantly complaining about the sudden overtime work.
"Psychics are so disgusting. They insist that we look for the Black Storm."
"Didn't they say that the new director of biology was transferred directly from the Psychic City? He must have made some achievements."
"If nothing else, the new minister has a great figure."
"This one, eh, let me see, the owner is Wang Zheng."
Boom, boom, boom.
"coming."
A young male voice was heard from inside the door, and the alloy door was quickly opened. A young man wearing a light-colored sweater and loose sweatpants appeared in front of the law enforcement team members.
The law enforcement team members looked at the face of the man in front of them. His facial features were relatively three-dimensional, his short hair was very energetic, and his skin condition was unusually good. He looked very handsome and had a sunny feeling.
The two members of the law enforcement team had a clear division of labor. One looked at this "Wang Zheng" while the other looked inside the house.
Living alone in a 15-square-meter couple's room?
He should be a guy with some background in Midtown Security Team.
Therefore, the law enforcement team member who came from the upper city spoke more politely: "Wang Zheng, right? Look over here and scan... Um, you are 24 years old this year. Please report your gene bank sequence number."
Wang Jixuan reported a series of numbers.
The law enforcement team member checked, nodded slowly, and asked again: "Do you live alone?"
"Yes," Wang Jixuan answered with clear eyes.
"Do you know a man named Mu Liang?"
"Mu Liang? Never heard of him."
"Yes," the law enforcement team member nodded, "This is the wanted criminal in the fortress now, an E-level psychic, a murderer, who has killed hundreds of people in the lower city. Now it is suspected that he has fled to the middle city. Take a look at this."
A photo that was a fusion of Lin Tao and Mu Liang's facial features was handed to Wang Jixuan.
Wang Jixuan, whose facial details had been slightly altered, stared at the photo carefully for a few seconds and shook his head gently: "I really don't have any impression."
"Okay, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm working in the logistics group of the security team moving goods," Wang Jixuan shrugged. "I'm currently preparing for the junior mechanic exam. I want to become a professional logistics supply personnel serving the military in the future."
"Oh? You have ambition! Work hard, young man!"
The law enforcement team member patted Wang Jixuan's arm with his white-gloved hand, squeezed it, and then waved his hand with a smile.
"Excuse me, go back and get some rest, young man."
Wang Jixuan: Am I being harassed?
He closed the alloy door with a smile, then curled his lips.
The member of the law enforcement team who had just touched Wang Jixuan's arm took out an instrument from his pocket and muttered, "Let's go to the next house. It will take a long time to find them if we search them one by one."
The two walked to the intersection, turned around and started knocking on other doors.
Wang Jixuan leaned against the door and thought for a moment.
Over the past few days, the situation has evolved in both good and bad directions.
The game between the military and the Thirteenth Institute has been ongoing, and the game has been escalating towards Fortress No. 76.
As far as he knew, several major events involving him had already occurred.
First, Kong Nu was identified as a victim of a terrorist attack and was posthumously recognized as a meritorious researcher by the Thirteenth Institute Headquarters;
Immediately afterwards, Fortress No. 76 replaced several military commanders and transferred in two heavy firepower battalions yesterday, apparently because they were worried about a psychic attack here.
Zhou Zhengde and his son are very familiar with the current commander of the fortress army. He used to be a guard of the commander-in-chief of the D5 comprehensive theater.
Afterwards, the Psychic City, the headquarters of the Thirteenth Institute, appointed a new biology minister named Qin Qin, a female researcher under the age of thirty, who was also a student of Professor Zhuang.
In addition, when Qin Qin came to Fortress 76 to take office yesterday, he also brought with him twenty-one psychics sent by the Thirteenth Headquarters.
These psychics are all D-level or above, and it is not certain whether there are any above C-level.
According to what Wang Jixuan learned from Ling Tong, there is a huge gap between C-level psychics and B-level psychics, and the strength of B-level psychics and A-level psychics is relatively close.
"This researcher Qin Qin, when he comes, he will ask the Upper City Law Enforcement Team to search for Mu Liang. I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
"However, the military's newly transferred heavy firepower battalion should be able to deter these psychics."
'It's better to keep a low profile later on, stay here for a few more days, and then leave when the time is right.'
Wang Jixuan stretched and replaced a breath-concealing talisman for himself.
There was actually a small matter that made Master Wang feel quite helpless.
Although he and Zhou Zhengde are now comrades on the same front and have cured Zhou Zhengde's leg injury, he still cannot obtain any resources related to the Blade Beast through official channels.
Wang Jixuan put on a nano mask and went to the lower city to secretly buy the blood of the blade beast used to make the talisman.
It cannot be said to be exactly the same as before, but it can be said to be exactly the same.
Lin Bo got some formula soil from the Wanlijin Gang. After careful inspection, Wei Na confirmed that it was mixed with the flesh and blood of blade beasts.
This made Wang Jixuan think about taking a step forward in the current human society.
Where can I find blade beast resources?
War zone front lines.
How to get to the war zone frontline?
Becoming a soldier did not conform to Wang Jixuan's principles, and he did not want to obey orders from others.
Previously, when Wang Jixuan was doing conditioning massage for Lingtong, he asked her two questions, one of which was about the combat power of blade beasts, and he gained a preliminary understanding of the combat power and main classification of blade beasts.
Another question is what kind of technical jobs are needed on the front line.
The profession of mechanic caught Wang Jixuan's attention.
According to Lingtong's description, mechanics are indispensable talents on the front line, mainly responsible for maintaining various types of mechas.
She has a team of sixteen mechanics who are responsible for the daily upkeep of her robotic arms and various accessories.
Wang Jixuan did not ask any more questions. After returning, he started looking for relevant information about the mechanic, and then...
Started my own research journey.
"If there is a way to practice cultivation in this world, I wonder if I need to take a qualification test."
Taoist Wang sighed and returned to his desk.
He couldn't help it the day before, and released two-thirds of the spiritual power from the three crystal cores. His cultivation took a small step towards the Concentrated Spirit Realm, and he left some spiritual power for emergency use.
——If you use up your mana in a fight, you can use them to recover quickly.
He also made a batch of demon-sealing talismans, wrapped up these crystal cores one by one, and then covered the outside with a layer of explosive talisman. If they were discovered, they would be detonated directly to leave no evidence.
The blade beast is really full of treasures.
Apart from being a little fierce and ugly, its bones, flesh, crystal core and even residual soul can all glow and flourish in the hands of Taoist Wang.
——A righteous cultivator is always preparing to eliminate demons and defend the Way. He read the books on the evil soul-refining techniques in the Sutra Library absolutely in order to know himself and the enemy. It was not out of curiosity, and he had never made any attempts.
He crossed his legs, spread out the "Mechanical Engineering: Major 1" in front of him, and began to study hard and teach himself.
And always remember to absorb spiritual energy.
He wants to strive to pass the junior mechanic certificate while entering the Concentrated God Realm!
After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual sense began to twitch slightly.
Taoist Wang, who was about to chant the Heart Purification Mantra to improve his concentration in reading, subconsciously turned his head to look outside the door.
Familiar flavors, unfamiliar spices.
Lingtong?
Why is she here again?
Didn’t we agree that the three people who knew his new identity would not contact him in the near future?
……
"Is it convenient for me to come in?" Lingtong said softly.
Her outfit today is still simple and comfortable, and she particularly prefers tight jeans.
Wang Jixuan made way for the door, waved his hand quickly, and subconsciously looked outside.
The overall feeling of stealing is very serious.
Lingtong looked around the simple layout of the room, saw the books and notebooks on the desk, and glanced at the contents.
"What's up?"
Wang Jixuan asked with a frown.
Ling Tong said softly, "Two things. One is to remind you that among these new psychics, there are some with energy reactions exceeding C-level. But you don't have to worry about this. The military has taken corresponding actions. The other is to ask you to do the same as last time."
Wang Jixuan asked: "Massage?"
"Yeah," Lingtong looked aside.
She was a little embarrassed.
"It's definitely a lot easier now. I've been sleeping well in the past few days, my reactions are much faster, and I've had fewer dizzy spells."
"sit."
Taoist Wang was very happy and pulled out the chair.
Ling Tong said: "I will pay you a certain amount of compensation."
How about a box of low-level blade beast crystal cores?
Wang Jixuan just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Lingtong sat upright on the chair. He went to the closet nearby and found a new pair of tactical gloves. Then he turned on the holographic music player and walked back behind Lingtong.
TER's gentle voice surrounded the house along with the notes.
"Relax, just sit and take a nap."
"Okay," Lingtong agreed, closing his eyes and leaning back in the chair.
Wang Jixuan gently pressed on her neck and slowly pushed towards her shoulders. A faint, invisible breath flowed into Lingtong's shoulders.
They didn't communicate much, one was giving a massage while the other was resting.
Soon, Lingtong lowered his head and fell into a light sleep without any snoring.
Wang Jixuan did not stop, but carefully pressed his fingers on the acupuncture points on her head and continued to soothe her.
He knew the root cause of Lingtong's dizziness.
There is a small piece of depressed energy in Lingtong's brain. The depressed energy is invisible and intangible. It should be the mark left by the mental shock released by the dying blade beast.
Wang Jixuan is not strong enough now and cannot directly eliminate the mark, but he can eliminate it a little bit at a time to help her relieve headaches and dizziness.
What's her story?
Was the arm lost in combat?
Her robotic arms are actually connected to her spine, which is also mechanized, along with part of her skeleton.
Her body and hair were given to her by her parents. She wanted to transform herself. Did her parents agree?
It seems that this world doesn't care about this.
When he was three years old, his master took him away to cultivate immortality, and left some money for his family as compensation.
Wang Jixuan's movements became more and more gentle, and he had a more wonderful feeling in his heart.
A brand new feeling that I have never had before.
……
Master Wang discovered...
It seems like he is being relied upon by the battle girl.
Three days after Lingtong had her second massage experience, she appeared outside his door again.
It can't be said that he was relying on others, after all, every time Major Lingtong came, he would bring him the reward for the last massage.
However, Lingtong's frequency of coming over is indeed increasing.
At the beginning, it was every two or three days, then every other day, and then every day.
Wang Jixuan has to take out half an hour every day, without practicing or reading, to give her a massage to cushion the pain.
What Master Wang couldn't stand the most was that Ling Tong would leave immediately after the massage at first, but later he would take a short rest here;
In just half a month, she discovered that Wang Jixuan hardly used the bed, so he started taking naps here!
Fortunately, Master Wang also received some corresponding rewards.
A music player with better sound quality, a sofa chair where you can lie down or recline, a pair of exquisite nursing gloves...
Wait, these rewards are really for him?
Later, Lingtong seemed to have no idea what reward to give, so she took out her collection - two large pieces of high-level blade beast exoskeletons.
Wang Jixuan's smile was so bright and cheerful.
Just for these two exoskeletons, all the time and mana he spent during this period was worth it!
However, among all the gifts Lingtong brought, the one that Wang Jixuan felt most outrageous was the one he gave today.
"This is the admission ticket," Ling Tong patiently said, "I registered for you in advance. The exam will be tomorrow at noon, at this address on the seventh floor. It's the junior mechanic exam, and..."
Taoist Wang was a little confused: "What?"
"Here are the test questions and answers. Remember to deliberately get a question wrong. If you get a perfect score, you will be asked to retake the test."
"This……"
"if you are willing to."
Ling Tong carried his mechanical arm on his back and explained calmly:
"I am temporarily stationed in Area C of the outer expansion area of Fort 76. I can recruit you into my logistics team. I know that you have special abilities and your own priceless massage techniques, so I will try my best to give you some material compensation. When I return to the front line, I will recommend you to take a relaxed position in the upper city of Fort 76... I know this may be a bit difficult, after all, the conditions in the outer expansion area are a bit harsh, and there is also the risk of being attacked by blade beasts, but I will do my best to protect you..."
"Is there still a risk of being attacked by a blade beast?"
Wang Jixuan asked softly.
Lingtong nodded gently, and there was a hint of loss in her bright eyes, but her expression was still as calm as usual.
She said, "Yes."
"Then I'll think about it."
Wang Jixuan turned around.
He could no longer suppress the smile on his face, and tried his best to adjust his facial expression so as not to appear to agree too easily later.
He is a monk with a lot of unique skills. If others want him to do something, they naturally have to beg him for help.
Ling Tong showed a hint of disappointment on her pretty face: "Just pretend I didn't say that..."
"I am willing. There is no other way. They are still investigating the whereabouts of Black Storm," Wang Jixuan said calmly, "Let's go out and hide for a while."
"Well, I'll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon, and the certificate can be issued on the spot."
"no problem."
"it is good."
Lingtong nodded calmly, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Bang!
She looked at the door handle that was pulled down from her hand and pursed her lips.
Wang Jixuan: "It's okay, I'll just report it..."
"I'm sorry I broke it for you. See you tomorrow then."
"Okay, eh!"
Before Wang Jixuan could say anything, Lingtong had already used brute force to pull open the alloy door, picked up the door, turned around, and stuffed it against the door frame, then lowered his head and walked away quickly.
Taoist Wang’s forehead was covered with black lines.
Fortunately, she didn't really run out of the door, but left it open for him.
Why is her mood so volatile?
Just, very unprofessional.
