"My luck is pretty good."
Luo Nan's gaze swept over the paper man's body a few times. He flipped the notebook to a blank page and placed the paper man inside.
There were already three similar interlayers as he flipped through the pages. There were a total of four paper men hidden in the notebook, including this one. Some were bigger, some were smaller, but the material was the same.
These paper men were created by Luo Nan when his eyes orifices were overflowing and the pressure was overloaded. They were created to shift the pressure. There were sixty lightning strikes. Aside from the first seven times the heart lantern was extinguished, there were also the broken and basically balanced rounds. There were a total of twenty-five times when the pressure had to be shifted. However, only four succeeded in the end. The success rate was only 16%. It was pitifully low.
Even so, he had to record it down.
Luo Nan opened the flexible e-ink screen and recorded the data. Basically, he treated the paper men as this week's homework. He was going to give them to Papercut to look over later. He felt that these paper men were quite different from the works he made when he first started learning.
At the very least, the way they were 'cut' was quite cool.
Luo Nan put away his pen and blew away the ashes stuck between his fingers. He blinked his eyes, but he felt his eyes become a bit dry. He closed his eyes and looked within himself. He saw that the glow of the heart lantern was quite weak. It was even weaker than it was before he received the blessing.
Luo Nan was not surprised. He was still a novice when it came to soul strength activation. He was far from being precise. He had clearly used too much strength this time. The consumption was too great. He wasn't in a hurry to recover because he would need to transport his soul strength out of the My heart's a prison format if he did so. The external neuron might give him a fierce blow. It really wasn't worth it.
He allowed the vitality of his body to naturally nourish and recover. Although it took a long time, it was stable. It could be said that he had a degree of relaxation.
In the front seat of the sightseeing bus, Xie Junping spoke of the Blood Peony. Oh, he spoke of Gear. He was still in high spirits. "A woman as powerful as Tang Yi needs someone even more powerful to conquer her. Otherwise, she needs to do what she likes. Nanster, you really don't lose out. You can tell that she's a great beauty just by looking at her nickname. Today is the 25th. The 30th is Monday's Gear auction. Time is tight, and the task is heavy.
I can't drag this out any longer! "Luo Nan raised his leg and kicked the front seat, giving Xie Junping a warning. Then he changed the topic to a normal direction." Do you have any idea of the base price for both sides? "
"There is no definite news at the moment, only rumors."
Xie Junping shrugged his shoulders. "Sissy Du's face is covered in dirt, and he's been kicked out of his house. His connections in the society have been cut off by quite a bit. He only mentioned it briefly, saying that the backer behind the Mystic Arts Research Society wants to cooperate with the Construction Society. "
"Cooperation? That's impossible, right?"
Luo Nan was quite surprised. Wasn't the Order of Justice behind the Mystic Arts Research Institute? Behind the Construction Society was the Rainbow Fund, which was equivalent to Quantum Corporation. What was the point of putting these two families together?
"Isn't capital something that can change at will? However, it was rumored that the main reason was because the Mystic Arts Research Society had changed their financial backer. It used to be a religious group, but now it had changed to a research fund. It was quite famous. Oh, I mean in our circle, LCRF … "
"Life Cycle Research Fund?"
"Hey, you've heard of it?" Xie Junping was very surprised and turned to look at him. "I thought you didn't care about these things."
"I just heard about it. In the next two days."
Luo Nan spent most of his energy on the heart lantern of the eyes orifice over the past ten days, but the training courses arranged for him by the Society were still ongoing. Aside from Crag Burst and Red Fox's practical courses, several courses had to be adjusted back due to interference power. Luo Nan also persisted in studying the related theories of the Soul Strength Activation Techniques course. He would occasionally do experiments to adjust. Otherwise, the small paper man in his notebook would not exist.
Luo Nan's reaction to the information about the Life Cycle Research Fund was lightning fast. This was because the fund was mentioned in He Yueyin's World Order Inside and Outside the Psychic Wave Network and Bamboo Pole's Notes on Major Characters of the World.
On the surface, it was funded and established by a few top tycoons. Its main investment direction was the classical direction of human life extension. It was an important investment fund in the field of biology, and it was a large financial backer of many important biological laboratories.
However, the fund had close ties with the political and military circles of the inner world. It was practically an open secret. The fund also cooperated with various powers of the inner world. Many important projects were listed there, including the Frost River Waterway, which Luo Nan was very familiar with.
Strange, strange!
Luo Nan raised his head and leaned against the back of his chair. He stared blankly at the sky. "The Life Fund, Quantum Corporation, and the previous Order are all interested in Gear. Why?"
He asked himself this question, not expecting to receive an answer. He never expected that Xie Junping would immediately follow up. "Sissy Du said that Gear's architectural structure is very suitable for carrying out mysterious rituals. In the past, the Order Club was also known as the Ritual Society by people in the circle. Acumen College's fraternity and sorority societies have held initiation ceremonies here several times. They even had drugged parties and the like. It's said that the effects here are much stronger than outside …. "
Xie Junping had been speaking casually, but he turned his head and saw Luo Nan frown. He hurriedly stopped talking. But after a long while, he couldn't help but say:
"It's me. I also think it's a bit interesting. It's especially comfortable over there. My brain works fast, and my eyes and ears are sharp. Also, sometimes I can see things even without opening my eyes …. Transparent! Nanster, tell me. Am I going to rush toward superpowers? "
Luo Nan was speechless. He didn't know how to respond.
Xie Junping's interest was piqued. "I didn't realize it before, but I've been interacting with Sissy Du these past few days. He's really an interesting fellow. His stomach is filled with goods, and the fields he's come into contact with are very diverse and very interesting. Oh right, are you two free on Sunday? Sissy Du said that there's some Starry Sky Club that holds a Mystic Arts Salon every Sunday. There are many people with abilities inside. It's very interesting. How about we go take a look? "
"Uh, I don't understand anything about the Mystic Arts … …" Xue Lei responded awkwardly.
His horizons had been greatly broadened during this time. His understanding of the inner world grew deeper and deeper. He was already pondering about joining the Wilderness Explorers Society. How could he possibly go to that completely unreliable so-called Mystic Arts Salon?
"Nanster?"
"I've already contacted them on Sunday. I'm going to send them over for repair." Luo Nan also declined the invitation. And this was the truth. He really was going to the repair center.
Xie Junping was a bit disappointed: "Then forget it. I wanted you guys to help me take a look … … Cough, I was just saying."
Xue Lei turned to look at Luo Nan. His eyes probably said: "This bro doesn't know anything?"
Luo Nan shook his head slightly. Xie Junping certainly knew that Luo Nan possessed a certain 'superpower'. Xie Junping was quite reverent towards this, and he was also a bit curious. Luo Nan didn't take the initiative to talk about it. After all, there were differences in their circles. It was hard to understand without personal experience. It would only cause confusion in one's heart.
But thinking deeper, Xie Junping had a place in the Format Pyramid. Xie Junping was a believer, even if he was a level one Apprentice, and the strict rules of the Format Pyramid could still affect him.
Luo Nan thought about his own hardships and felt that he really needed to carefully examine Xie Junping when he had the time. This was to prevent this friend of his from receiving any negative impacts.
Now wasn't the best time to discuss this sort of thing. Luo Nan's thoughts spun and he thought of something else. He said to Xue Lei: "Did you bring that thing over?"
The topic changed too quickly. Xue Lei didn't react for a time: "What?"
"The mechanical device inside the tai chi ball. It needs to be repaired!" Luo Nan was speechless towards Xue Lei. "I told you two days ago. Bamboo Pole introduced me to a very powerful mechanic … …"
"Ah, I brought it over. I brought it over." Xue Lei patted his head and reached his hand into his pocket. He felt empty, and this big guy could only laugh awkwardly. "I stuffed it into the locker this morning. I forgot to take it out. Should I go get it now?"
"Forget it. You can give it to me tomorrow morning."
Though Xie Junping didn't understand what the two were talking about, he looked all around and said, "Is the main locker room in the South 2 District? We're in the South 1 District. It's not that far. There's no harm in going over. Let's change hands early so that we don't forget tomorrow. Your memory has been like that for the past few days. "
"That's fine."
Luo Nan and Xue Lei both agreed. But after a brief pause, Luo Nan found Xie Junping's words strange. "What's wrong with my memory?"
Xie Junping made a U-turn as he chuckled, "I told you a long time ago that Gym Archbishop Xiu's disciple has amazing abilities. Bring me to pay my respects and learn some kung fu …. Neither of you remember."
The two, who had been rebuked, glanced at each other. They were both a bit embarrassed. Actually, it wasn't that their memories were bad. It was just that after Xue Lei mentioned it, Xiu Shenyu had rejected him with a single word. There was no room for discussion. Xiu Shenyu's straightforward attitude made Luo Nan feel a bit overwhelmed by the favor. That's right. This was the feeling.
Why did Gym Master Xiu agree to teach him kung fu so easily back then?
The sightseeing bus stopped outside the main locker room amidst the stuttering responses of the two ability users. Xue Lei hurriedly got off the bus to retrieve the item.
Luo Nan and Xie Junping chatted here and there, but the topic of Gear never strayed away. Halfway there, Luo Nan subconsciously turned on his flexible e-ink screen. He used his status as a member of the society to pull out the architectural blueprints and other information from the internet. He looked at the intertwining gears of different sizes. It was both creative and had a strict and unique aesthetic.
In the end, Luo Nan cared quite a bit.
If it was just the Rainbow Fund, Luo Nan could more or less understand. After all, Yan Yongbo was the leader. Yan Yongbo certainly wanted to seize back the laboratory and clear the name of his deceitful father.
However, whether it was the Life Cycle Research Fund or the Order of Justice, they all more or less paid attention to Gear.
Was it just because of the mysterious ritual?
Looking back, what was his mother's goal in designing and building Gear? Was it just like the information said? Was it her graduation work, a pure architectural art? Was it that simple?
Luo Nan looked at the image of a refreshing woman on the information file, and his mind was in a trance.
He stared blankly, until Xie Junping snapped his fingers in a flirtatious manner and called out, "Beauty, a chance encounter is better than a chance encounter. Want to hitch a ride?"
Luo Nan raised his head and saw a figure walk out from the main locker room. It wasn't Xue Lei. It was just as Xie Junping said. It was a beauty above average.
