After sparring with Hong, Lin Qingyu returned to Huaxia Country's

"Xiao Yu, this is the report on the Southeast Military Region's latest battle against the Ocean Monster Beast Tide." In the research institute, Zheng Xinyi handed a report to Lin Qingyu.

"Thanks, Mom." Lin Qingyu took the report.

"Xiao Yu, you've already done enough for the country and for humanity lately. You need to know that too much of anything can be harmful." Instead of leaving immediately, Zheng Xinyi began nagging Lin Qingyu about his safety.

"I know. I'll go out to hunt monsters less often for a while," Lin Qingyu replied directly.

"Really? That's good. Also, spend more time interacting with other people when you can." Zheng Xinyi nodded. "Don't always stay alone in the laboratory or run off to the Wilderness Zone. You don't have many friends your own age, do you?"

The corner of Lin Qingyu's mouth twitched.

Friends his own age? He probably had nothing in common with ordinary fifteen- or sixteen-year-olds.

"I do have friends. Didn't I meet someone named Luo Feng when I went to Jiangnan Base City before?" Lin Qingyu said.

"One is still too few, and he's a boy." Zheng Xinyi said, "You're not that young anymore. It's about time you got to know some friends of the opposite sex, isn't it?"

All right, Lin Qingyu understood what his mother meant.

Though she was not openly urging him, she still hoped he would start a relationship or something.

During the Base City era, humanity's death rate had risen considerably because of the Beast Tides that struck every year.

Yet the population during the Base City era had remained at around seven billion, because in times of crisis, humanity's survival instinct drove people to have more children.

Nowadays, it was normal to start dating at fifteen or sixteen and marry directly at eighteen. Some Base Cities even allowed men and women to establish a marriage at sixteen.

"There's no need to rush that." Lin Qingyu shook his head. "I'm still underage."

Whether in his previous life or this one, he did indeed like pretty girls. But liking them was one thing; most of the time, he merely found them pleasing to look at.

He aspired to become a true powerhouse. In his view, his partner would inevitably be someone who could accompany him through endless eras. Naturally, he could not make such a decision casually.

"All right, but if you meet a girl you really click with, don't hesitate." Zheng Xinyi added one more remark before leaving.

"Click with?" Lin Qingyu shook his head. He did not dwell on it, instead picking up the report in his hand and continuing to read.

"Sure enough, the venom was still far less effective than in the laboratory. Where exactly was the problem?" Lin Qingyu pondered.

"Is that a report on the use of the medicine?" Bata's voice suddenly sounded beside Lin Qingyu's ear.

"That's right. My research institute has already used live monsters for experiments, but the medicine's effects still haven't reached the ideal level," Lin Qingyu said.

"Hmph, that's only natural." Bata replied, "The monsters captured and brought into the laboratory are basically already crippled. How much strength can they have left? Naturally, they resist less than wild monsters, so their ability to mobilize Origin Force to form an Origin Force Field and repel the venom is weaker. To be honest, most venom cannot penetrate the Force Field naturally possessed by powerhouses, so it is naturally ineffective against them. Apothecaries are a fringe profession to begin with. Most people who lack high Law Comprehension only become apothecaries to try their luck."

"Force Field?" Lin Qingyu carefully considered Bata's words.

"Of course. Without a Force Field, how could Mental Power control a Mental Power Weapon? It's just that Mental Power has rather special properties. It is more easily converted into a Force Field than Origin Force, and that Force Field can more easily exist outside the body." Bata said, "Hadn't Earth proposed the concept of Wave–Particle Duality long ago? The so-called wave was essentially the vibration of a Force Field."

"So that's how it is! I understand! That's it!" Bata's words were like a spark that ignited the flame of wisdom, causing a flood of inspiration to emerge in Lin Qingyu's mind.

"Uh, what do you understand?" Bata asked.

"Wave–Particle Duality, and the vibration of Force Fields... so this is the mystery of Domain! I actually overlooked something so important." Lin Qingyu's eyes gleamed. He had grasped an extremely crucial point.

The records and information left behind by the Mental Force and Origin Force in his body, which he had previously analyzed using will information, began surging and combining in Lin Qingyu's consciousness, forming countless possible paths and plans.

Lin Qingyu leaped to his feet in excitement and rushed out of the office.

"Mom, I suddenly got an inspiration. I need to go into seclusion for a while!" Lin Qingyu caught up to Zheng Xinyi, who had not gone very far.

"Uh, Xiao Yu, you... made some new discovery?" Zheng Xinyi looked at the incomparably excited Lin Qingyu.

"Yes, this discovery is very important, so I need some time to think it through carefully. Tell Dad, Master, and the others." After speaking, Lin Qingyu directly mobilized his Mental Power and flew out of the research institute.

"That child, honestly. I just told him to make more friends." Zheng Xinyi helplessly shook her head, picked up her communication device, and began notifying Lin Meng, Jia Yi, and the others.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingyu ran straight back to the training room at home. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, while his consciousness entered the Will Space.

Within the Will Space, Lin Qingyu immediately brought up several original records.

They were records from when he had first obtained Domain, when he had reached Domain 2nd layer, when he had reached Domain 3rd layer, and when Hong had broken through from Domain 2nd layer to Domain 3rd layer.

Force Field! The key is the concept of a "field"!

Lin Qingyu focused his mind and began deducing the mysteries of Domain.

As his thoughts turned, Lin Qingyu's consciousness once again delved deep into the information he had recorded before.

After going deeper, Lin Qingyu discovered that although he had processed a great deal of information before, he had not fully uncovered its patterns. He had merely memorized it by rote.

Now that he had gained inspiration, Lin Qingyu had a new understanding of the information and mysteries he had already memorized.

The most crucial things are Origin Force and Mental Force! Lin Qingyu continued delving deeper, quickly reaching the limit he had previously attained—the organelles that made up cells.

Here, he could see the process by which Cosmic Energy was transformed into Genetic Force and Mental Power.

Keep going! The massive amount of information had already placed some pressure on Lin Qingyu, but after reaching the Planetary level, his consciousness had become stronger and his will had improved somewhat. Analyzing organelles was no longer an insurmountable chasm.

Let me see how deep I can go this time! Lin Qingyu intended to push his will to its limit.
