Philosopher's Stone

Squeak~

The car tires screeched against the rough ground, and the dusty door opened.

Ouyang Hua, dressed in a flashy outfit, climbed out of the car and smiled at Luo Tianyi inside.

"Thanks, Mr. Luo."

"Could you give me a ride?"

"Don't worry about your matter."

Leave it to me.

He patted his chest and then went into the small building.

Pushing open the door, the small building was dimly lit.

A man is smoking a cigarette.

Ouyang Hua coughed twice and waved his hand to drive away the acrid smell of smoke.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? How many times have I told you not to smoke indoors?"

"Or open the window."

"If I catch you smoking again, I'll skin you alive."

Where is Ah Jiu?

The man quickly stubbed out his cigarette. "Ninth Brother is inside."

"If he's still not up at this hour, he's definitely sleeping with some woman, damn it."

"The older brother works himself to the bone, while this younger brother seems to know how to enjoy life."

As he spoke, Ouyang Hua went upstairs and kicked open the door to a room.

A woman's soft gasp came from inside the door.

A young woman in her early twenties pulled up her clothes to cover her chest and looked at Ouyang Hua in a panic.

A man crawled out of the bed.

With his short haircut, he looked like a prisoner released from jail.

Without even seeing who it was, he yelled, "Which bastard is disturbing your father's sleep?"

Ouyang Hua chuckled, laughing instead of getting angry, "Alright, Ah Jiu."

"You've got some nerve, talking to me like that."

Upon recognizing Ouyang Hua, the man slapped himself without saying a word.

With a forced smile, he said, "Brother Hua, you're back!"

Then he turned to the woman next to him and said, "Get out."

The woman said anxiously, "You don't have the money for the thread yet."

"You!"

Ah Jiu raised her hand as if to strike.

"What are you fighting about? You think you don't have to pay to sleep? Is that how I taught you?"

Ouyang Hua slapped Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu quickly agreed, took out the money, and then sent the girl away.

When I returned, I saw Ouyang Hua slam a photograph on the table.

Ah Jiu walked over and picked up the photo.

Inside was a young man with black hair and red eyes, his gaze sharp.

"Brother Hua, what's this?"

"That old fox Luo Tianyi gave us a difficult problem, intending to test us," Ouyang Hua sneered. "That old fox is incredibly cautious."

"We were worried that we weren't strong enough, so we used this kid as a test case."

"They want us to kill this kid."

Ah Jiu laughed, "Isn't that easy? This kid looks so young, he might not even have tasted a woman's flavor yet."

"Nonsense, do you think everyone is like you?" Ouyang Hua said irritably. "Don't underestimate this kid."

"These are students from the Hundred Battles Academy, and for Luo Tianyi to take out some precious stones, they can't be ordinary."

"Have someone research him first, see what his skill level is, and then we'll make a decision."

Ah Jiu nodded repeatedly, put the photo away, and then said, "That piece of trash, Cui Kaixin, can't even handle a small matter."

"To actually be defeated here, what a disgrace to us."

"Otherwise, why would we need Brother Hua to personally take action?"

"And he even got Master Rong to agree to so many of that Luo fellow's demands."

Ouyang Hua looked at him, smiled, and said, "Are you finished?"

"Now that you've finished talking, get back to work, you good-for-nothing."

"Yes, yes, yes," Ah Jiu said with a grin, "I'll go right away, Brother Hua, you rest."

Step outside.

Ah Jiu's smile vanished instantly.

We went downstairs.

He called out to three or five men, "Get to work!"

Hundred Battles Academy.

Luo Yan walked on campus.

Now, he has a small notebook in his pocket.

Those were some cultivation insights about the Blood Executioner that Fang Yao gave him.

original.

Luo Yan was prepared to be turned away.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yao actually agreed with what he said.

And judging from the small notebook he carried with him, Fang Yao had planned to hand it over to him from the very beginning.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt a surge of emotion.

He thought to himself that he was just a survivor on the surface.

First, he gained Di Zheng's approval and was taken to the Undercity.

With the guidance of Wei Fenghua, he gradually matured.

Now, with Fang Yao's help, he can avoid some detours in his cultivation of secret techniques.

If I succeed in the future, I must find a way to repay those who have helped me.

At this moment, Luo Yan's heart stirred.

Then they heard Yang Lixie's voice.

"Classmate Luo, you're back!"

"So, did you see Senior Student He and the others' induction ceremony?"

Yang Lixie walked over, hands in his pockets, a broad smile on his face.

Luo Yan nodded and said directly, "Get to the point."

Yang Lixie gave an exaggerated expression: "Wow, Classmate Luo." "You really can't hide anything from me."

"Look, Classmate Liu's birthday is coming up soon. What do you think I should get her?"

"I was just kidding."

"Classmate Luo, don't run away!"

Yang Lixie quickened his pace and caught up with Luo Yan.

Then he lowered his voice.

"Let's get down to business."

Are you free these next few days?

Let's go to Qingyang.

"There's progress on the Nursery Garden issue."

Luo Yan nodded. "Okay, you arrange it."

"Just give me the departure time."

"Great!" Yang Lixie added, "It's really Classmate Liu's birthday soon, and I haven't decided what to get her yet."

"Hey, can't you just listen to me for a bit?"

"Alright, alright, remember to go see Teacher Shi Haoting."

"I went to the Logistics Department to exchange some things, and Teacher Shi is looking for you."

Luo Yan waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

the next day.

Luo Yan arrived at the Mecha Upgrade Warehouse.

The Bi'an has been brought back.

An upgrade is currently underway.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Luo Yan saw that his mecha had been almost completely dismantled.

Luo Yan has arrived.

Xie Guangyao, the mentor in charge of this upgrade project, walked over holding a tablet computer.

Look at this.

He handed the tablet to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan looked over and saw some charts and data inside.

He recognized every single word in these things.

When they're put together, he doesn't understand what they mean.

"This is Superconducting Neural Feedback System."

Xie Guangyao said with a smile, "Superconducting systems are a cutting-edge technology that has only been developed in the last two years."

"Compared to older feedback systems, it places greater emphasis on the integration of the equipment's circuitry with sensors and the core processing system."

"It can accelerate the flow of nerve currents and energy, improve the body's operational flexibility, and increase the speed of energy distribution, among other advantages."

After saying that, Xie Guangyao continued.

"By the way, I've read your report on the Forbidden Zone Combat."

"There is the core of a Upper-tier Giant Beast inside."

"I suggest you replace it with three Taotie cores to strengthen the Super Core Matrix on the Biqian."

"Adding the previous three, the matrix now has six cores, which will not only activate a third type of behemoth characteristic."

"It can also activate ' Transcendence Mode '."

"This is the true essence of the matrix."

"After activating ' Transcendence Mode,' all the behemoth traits that have already been activated will be deepened and qualitatively transformed!"
