Mind Reader Certificate

Chen Lie asked, "Your spiritual power realm is far higher than mine. Why not guide her yourself instead of entrusting her to me?"

Wei Changshan shook his head and sighed. "The development of mind readers on Blue Star has always moved forward. Amid this great tide, whether in martial arts or mind reading, the cultivation experience of old fellows like us should have been obsolete long ago.

"If I taught her those outdated, backward cultivation methods from my youth, at most she would reach my current realm. The Three River Provinces have finally produced such an outstanding mind-reading genius—wouldn't that be holding her back?

"But you are different. Your master comes from beyond the stars, where spiritual power cultivation is at least several hundred years ahead of Blue Star. On top of that, your talent is exceptional. If you are willing to offer guidance at critical moments, you might save her a year, or even several years, of arduous cultivation."

"All right."

Chen Lie nodded. He had claimed the rewards from the three central provinces and benefited from the Blue Star Mind Reader Association's system, so naturally, he needed to give something back to his homeland to some extent.

Wei Changshan gave Shen Miaowei a look and said, "Miaowei, hurry and take out your communicator. I remember young people like you often use some popular social app. Leave him your contact information. If you encounter any difficulties in spiritual power cultivation in the future, you can try asking him first."

"Mm, okay!"

Shen Miaowei stepped in front of Chen Lie, took out her communicator, and asked, "Um... do you have Green Bubble?"

Chen Lie nodded. "I do. Add me."

Shen Miaowei raised her communicator and added Chen Lie as a Green Bubble friend.

Beside them, Shen Feixue snorted and muttered under her breath, "Sister Miaowei's talent is so high. Does she need his guidance?"

"Young miss of the Shen family, watch your words."

"That's just the truth!" Shen Feixue said again.

"Feixue!" Shen Miaowei called Shen Feixue's name in a warning tone, then said to Chen Lie, "My little sister has been spoiled by the family and doesn't know when to stop. Please don't take offense."

Chen Lie gave a soft "Mm," then asked Wei Changshan, "Will my probationary Mind Reader certificate still take another half hour?"

"They said half an hour, but it should be about ready now. Let's go down to the first floor and take a look. I'll urge the staff along," Wei Changshan said.

With that, Wei Changshan and Chen Lie headed outside.

Behind them, Shen Feixue quickly caught up with Shen Miaowei. "Sister Miaowei, didn't you say the Star Soul God-Tempering Vine awarded for the record-breaking score would be of great use to you?

"It was supposed to be yours. Are you really just going to watch that Chen Lie take it away?"

Shen Miaowei whispered, "Enough. Don't say any more."

"How can I not say anything? It's a spiritual power treasure, something you can't buy even with money!"

"What else can we do? We're inferior in skill, so we can only hand over the treasure. Besides, hasn't the martial arts world always had a saying? Heavenly treasures belong to the virtuous."

"What virtue does he have? Isn't he just relying on having a Mind Reader teacher from beyond the stars? If it were you, Sister Miaowei, you would definitely be stronger than him!" Shen Feixue said again.

Chen Lie, who had heard the conversation behind him, stopped walking and turned around slightly.

"You really need this Star Soul God-Tempering Vine?"

Now that Chen Lie himself had overheard her conversation with Shen Feixue, Shen Miaowei felt a little embarrassed. "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense. Actually..."

"I can give this Star Soul God-Tempering Vine to you, but you'll need to exchange something for it."

"What do you want?" Shen Miaowei immediately pressed.

The Star Soul God-Tempering Vine was simply too important to her. It concerned whether her spiritual power could advance any further.

"Some martial arts treasures. Didn't we add each other on Green Bubble? I'll send you the martial arts treasures I need."

As he spoke, Chen Lie took out his communicator, found Shen Miaowei's Green Bubble contact that he had just added, edited a message, and sent it over.

Ding-dong.

Shen Miaowei received the Green Bubble message and immediately opened it to read.

"I sent you ten types of martial arts treasures. If you can find three of them, you can bring those three treasures to East River Province and exchange them with me for the Star Soul God-Tempering Vine.

"But I'll only give you ten days. After ten days, I might use this Star Soul God-Tempering Vine myself."

After saying that, Chen Lie turned and headed downstairs.

"Three martial arts treasures in exchange for a spiritual power treasure like the Star Soul God-Tempering Vine—this deal is absolutely worthwhile!"

At that moment, Wei Changshan said, "Miaowei, you can report this matter to your family.

"No matter how valuable those three martial arts treasures are, they definitely won't be worth more than one billion Star Credits. Yet with one billion Star Credits, you absolutely cannot buy a spiritual power treasure like the Star Soul God-Tempering Vine.

"Your family has already begun grooming you as its successor. The older generation of the Shen family will certainly be willing to search extensively for these treasures in exchange for the Star Soul God-Tempering Vine for the sake of your future."

"I understand, Grandpa Wei." Shen Miaowei nodded.

Shen Feixue hurriedly said, "Sister Miaowei, send me those ten martial arts treasures too later. When I get home, I'll tell my dad and have him help look for them."

"Mm!" Shen Miaowei nodded.

Chen Lie arrived at the first-floor service hall of the Mind Reader Association, but Wang Hui and Meng Jing were nowhere to be seen in the waiting area.

Wei Changshan walked to the service counter in the first-floor hall.

The staff inside immediately greeted him respectfully.

"President!"

"Mm."

Wei Changshan nodded and asked, "Someone just passed the probationary Mind Reader examination. The main optical brain has already automatically sent down the information. His name is Chen Lie.

"Has Chen Lie's probationary Mind Reader certificate been completed?"

"It's already been made. It just needs to be stamped."

After saying that, the staff member hurriedly took out the Mind Reader Association's seal and stamped the certificate. In less than a minute, a blue leather certificate was handed to Wei Changshan.

Wei Changshan accepted the probationary Mind Reader certificate and called Chen Lie over.

"Little friend Chen Lie, your Mind Reader certificate has been processed."

Chen Lie walked up to Wei Changshan, accepted the Mind Reader certificate, and opened it. It contained the following information.

Mind Reader Certificate

Name: Chen Lie.

Gender: Male

Mind Reader Rank: Probationary Mind Reader

Issuing Organization: Cloud River Mind Reader Association.

Issued by: Wei Changshan.

Special Note: Sea of Consciousness score: 2,765,000, ranked ninth on Blue Star's Probationary Mind Reader Rankings.

After taking one look, Chen Lie put away the Mind Reader certificate.

"You are one of the very few people in the history of the three central provinces to pass the probationary Mind Reader examination before turning eighteen."

Chen Lie showed no emotion at Wei Changshan's praise. Instead, he said, "I looked it up online. Taking the Mind Reader examination doesn't require any payment, but the moment I arrived, I was asked to pay a deposit of twenty thousand Star Credits first.

"Now that I've passed the Mind Reader examination, will the twenty thousand Star Credit deposit be returned to me, or does it go directly to the Mind Reader Association?"

"Mm? What twenty thousand Star Credit deposit? Who collected it?"

Wei Changshan immediately asked in a deep voice.
