A few days after injecting the drug, Luo Nan had already said goodbye to sleep. He had a sleepless night, and the only person in the family who could sleep at night without any worries was probably that kid, Mo Peng.
However, the morning of the second day felt just like last night's conversation. It passed by like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Before this, Luo Nan had even run out to do his morning exercises according to his living habits. He had been separated from Rui Wen for an entire night in passing.
When he returned home with a body full of sweat, he simply thought that time had turned back to several days ago.
Luo Nan had a general idea of the reason: His uncle had pondered for over an hour in the study last night, and the information he told his aunt went through a layer of filtering.
His uncle didn't conceal the matter of Luo Nan joining the Xia City branch. It was just that from his mouth, the Xia City branch had become a social society, something similar to a brotherhood. Through this analogy, the inner world, which was extremely complex, had become a relatively closed social circle. The corresponding activities were explained as "research into superpowers".
Could this sort of explanation be described as "the older the ginger, the spicier"?
Luo Nan sat in front of the dining table, chewing on a piece of beef in his mouth, but it was tasteless. He felt that it was a bit absurd. The enormous flow of information had been passed around like this, layer by layer, and finally turned into a completely warped answer.
Every time the flow was intercepted, the corresponding pressure had to be shouldered by the interceptor. Luo Nan was aware of this, his uncle was aware of this, but would his aunt really believe it?
There was also Mo Ya.
It must be said that Mo Ya was the one who understood Luo Nan's ins and outs the most out of everyone in the family. She should be the one with the greatest doubts. But ever since they formed a bit of tacit understanding in the administrative center, it seemed that she really wasn't interested at all.
How was that possible?
Luo Nan stuffed the food into his stomach with great difficulty, but he didn't want to stay at home for long. He hurriedly washed his face and rinsed his mouth before saying:
"I'm going to school."
"I'm going too." In the end, Mo Peng didn't get to wait for the suspension notice. His spirit, energy, and soul were completely dispirited. He could only wave his hand weakly and follow Luo Nan outside.
The two had just reached the entrance when Luo Shuqing suddenly spoke from behind: "It's getting late. I'll send you off."
"There's no need. It's just a matter of two steps … … Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything." Mo Peng rolled his eyes and left without looking back. The fact that his own son couldn't compare to his nephew was a sad thing that he had already realized long ago when he was wearing diapers.
But Luo Nan cried bitterly in his mind. He could feel his Uncle and Mo Ya's gazes cast over at him at this time.
Not being able to travel with Rui Wen, Qin Yikun, and the others was a small matter. What was important was how to deal with his aunt. He couldn't reject her. He might have been able to in the past, but he definitely couldn't during this sensitive period.
He could only turn around and obediently reply, "Oh, thank you, Auntie."
Luo Nan responded excessively courteously. Luo Nan immediately opened up his friend group of staff officers. He used his telepathic thoughts to guide and leave a message asking for help: "Emergency!"
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere from last night had not dissipated, and it was just in time for dinner, the group was very lively.
Zhang Yingying exclaimed, "Is your house in hell mode? You've passed one level after another. In this kind of environment, you should be thankful that you haven't been raised into a weakling! "
Cat Eyes of the security team flew over and said, "I think he's quite popular."
Bamboo Pole followed closely behind. "You've tried it? Hey, why is there another person in the group? Crow? This is great. We have a fox, a crow, an octopus, and a cat. It's enough to make a fairy tale. "
Octopus sent a yawning emoji. "Newcomer, hurry up and send me a red packet to refresh yourself! Oh right, who's Crow? "
"Huh, newcomer?"
"Isn't this Boss Luo's friend group?"
"Boss Luo, give me an introduction."
The answer in Luo Nan's mind had just become clear when Crag Burst probingly asked, "Rui Wen?"
"Huh?"
Cat Eyes sent a photo of her and Rui Wen at this time.
The two's faces were pressed together. One was smiling brilliantly, while the other was looking at the camera with indifference and indifference. Under the illumination of the lights in the room, one was charming and tender, while the other … … had a personality.
"I'm a bit free tonight, so I pulled the little girl up. Look, she'll be really pretty if she tidies up her hair. Cool androgynous styles are the most popular right now. I'll take Rui Wen to go shopping when I have nothing else to do. Yingying, do you want to go? "
"Welcome newcomer! I want to go! I want to go! "Zhang Yingying sprinkled flowers and applauded, bringing forth a wave.
The atmosphere was very enthusiastic. Perhaps it was because of Cat Eyes' urging, but Rui Wen actually used the name Crow to send an emoji. It was the first emoji in the emoji pack: "Smile".
Compared to the indifference in the photo, there was an even greater contrast in cuteness.
Bamboo Pole, this nouveau riche who often fished for extra money, immediately sprinkled a rain of money. "The more beautiful women the better. The deeper the relationship, the better … … Crow, I can't ask you out!"
Octopus was shocked. "At least three years, hey!"
Cat Eyes gave him a middle finger. "If you can live for three seconds, I'll give it to you."
In reality, what Cat Eyes said was one hundred percent the truth. But the problem was that they had gone off topic, okay?
Luo Nan didn't have time to complain. He had already followed his aunt out and into the car. They entered an independent, sealed space. He saw that the other person didn't have any intention of taking the initiative to speak. He felt that it would be more refreshing to take the initiative to speak:
"Aunt, yesterday … … Uncle brought it up with you?"
Mrs. Luo Shuqing started the car and set it to autopilot. She responded indifferently: "Our days can still go on."
Clearly, Luo Nan's pronunciation was unclear. He had mixed up the words "brought up" and "left". However, his aunt's nitpicking was just an excuse. There would certainly be an even more amazing one in the back.
Luo Nan just felt his hair stand on end. The group gradually calmed down from its previous clamor. Through Luo Nan's shared perspective, everyone's attention was focused.
But a call came in at this time, and it was a direct request for a video call.
Luo Nan swept a glance. It was Di Weiwu.
He raised his head, and Luo Shuqing indicated that it was fine for him to just do his own thing.
The video call connected, and nothing else could be seen. All he saw was the child's face that was a bit distorted from excitement. Then there was a piercing scream:
"Brother Nan! Brother Nan! Brother Nan! You're too f * cking awesome!"
"Huh?"
"He succeeded! Godfather succeeded! Look at this! Look at this! "
The little fellow gently pinched a floating water droplet over as if he was presenting a treasure. He crushed it with force and even crushed it a few times. But when his fingers left the water droplet for a second or two, the water droplet condensed once more. It grew from small to large, and it was on the verge of falling.
While Di Weiwu was reporting the good news, Papercut, who had been invisible all this time, set off fireworks in his friend group. He even learned from the tycoon Bamboo Pole and sprinkled a rain of red packets of money.
"He succeeded! He wasted five years and succeeded in a single day! Boss Luo is a genius!"
Not many people knew about Worker Zhai's matter. Most of the people in the group were stupefied: "What's going on?"
Luo Nan didn't pay attention to how Papercut would explain this to the others. He was happy for Worker Zhai. Worker Zhai's face just so happened to appear on the virtual screen at this time. This man was over forty years old, and his eyes seemed to be slightly red. He was clearly emotional.
But even so, he was still more perceptive than Di Weiwu. He knew that this wasn't the time to chat when he saw Luo Nan's background. He grinned and said, "Weiwu, sorry to disturb you. I'll just say one more word. It's done! Plus, I've successfully activated the third level of the HexaEar. I've crossed two checkpoints in one step. We'll talk about the specifics later. "
The first three of the six communication levels of the HexaEar were the radio, the television, and the computer. The first two levels passively received information, but the third level evolved to the human-computer interaction stage. According to the standards of Xia City, Worker Zhai was a qualified Awakened.
In other words, not only did Worker Zhai successfully create a semi-permanent Condensation Ring, but he also borrowed this miraculous structure to increase the level of his soul strength and cross the checkpoint of Awakening.
For an ability user, this was absolutely a major event that would allow a carp to leap through the dragon's gate. Even though Luo Nan was currently plagued with troubles, he was still happy for Worker Zhai from the bottom of his heart. "This is a great thing! Congratulations!"
Worker Zhai did his best to maintain a smile and a steady voice, but in the end, he just hoarsely said, "Thank you, Nanster."
The call ended, but the clamor in the group of friends continued.
According to what the group of people said, ability users like Worker Zhai, who had been stuck at the checkpoint of Awakening for many years, would have their chances of awakening gradually decrease as they grew older. This was a huge problem that caused the non-Awakened, who made up ninety percent of the group, to feel anxious and even despair.
The success this time had evidence to observe. There were rules to follow. Writing a major thesis based on this was the bare minimum. It was even possible to establish a project.
Luo Nan couldn't care less about the significance of this matter no matter how much the group raised it. He looked at his Aunt in the first instance, thinking about how to combine his Uncle's words and come up with a proper explanation.
But Mrs. Luo Shuqing had a very calm appearance. "Is it Worker Zhai?"
"Yeah. Today's matter, cough. It's a difficult problem that has troubled him for a long time. I had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea. Then he experimented for a while and succeeded. That's why he came looking for me to report the good news …."
Luo Shuqing laughed but didn't say anything. She shifted her gaze forward, looking at the high-speed magnetic track that continued to extend out.
This was bad.
Mrs. Luo Shuqing was a senior HR employee who didn't show her emotions on her face in society. Every year, who knew how many elites brimming with confidence would sigh in the face of the pass she guarded. But she was still very straightforward in front of her family. She said one thing as one and two things as two. Once she was silent, it meant that she had something very heavy on her mind.
This wouldn't do.
Luo Nan's head hurt. No matter how hard he steeled his resolve to kill and intimidate, it was to the outside world. The change in the atmosphere of a family couldn't be stopped by the destruction of the human body.
He tried to communicate. "Aunt …."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Mrs. Luo Shuqing's elbows press forward. Her body leaned forward, and her chin pressed against the back of her hand. Her entire body just lay on the steering wheel, staring straight ahead at the road.
At this moment, she was no longer a solemn elder, nor was she a dignified executive. Instead, it was as if she had returned to twenty years ago, the age of youth.
