The more Shen Qingyi thought about it, the more she felt that Ling Yi's words made sense, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Who wouldn't want to become a powerful Awakened? Although Shen Qingyi has a quiet and gentle nature, she also desires great strength.
She had also speculated that her mentor might be a powerful Magic Mage, and she had tried other methods before.
She had specially sought out someone to teach her cooking and practiced magic every day, but her Fusion level just wouldn't increase, so she could only give up and accept her fate.
She murmured, "Why didn't I think of such a simple truth before?"
Seeing Shen Qingyi's eagerness, Ling Yi quickly stopped her, saying, "It's too late, let's just order takeout."
"You know it's too late, right? At this hour, besides barbecue, what else can you get for takeout... cough cough!"
Shen Qingyi was dumbfounded when she saw the two takeout orders that appeared out of thin air in Ling Yi's hand.
"Is this also that old man's ability?"
"It's Grandpa Rick, he's awesome! Let's eat first."
After the two finished their meal, Ling Yi saw Shen Qingyi off and then returned to his room to get busy; he still had a lot to do that day.
To reach the level of Grandpa Rick, the first step is to establish a solid foundation.
This foundation isn't about a laboratory. Does Grandpa Rick need a laboratory? Yes, but not too much.
Ling Yi's so-called foundations are Quantum computers, dark matter traps, dark matter concentrators, and dark matter storage devices.
With Quantum computers, Quantum -related technologies can be unlocked, such as Quantum Teleport, Quantum positioning, and spatiotemporal coordinate capture.
However, this requires a massive amount of energy. With the current energy technology on Blue Star, even if the energy of the entire planet were drained in an instant, it would still be impossible to complete a Teleport.
Rick uses a concentrated Dark Matter Source as the primary energy source for his Teleport gun and spaceship; this is the foundation.
The next morning, Ling Yi, who hadn't slept all night, yawned, popped a "candy ball" into his mouth, and headed to school with his schoolbag.
The reason Ling Yi went to school wasn't because he had any Obsession with it, but because he had nothing else to do.
The dark matter trap is collecting its first batch of Dark Matter Source, which will take exactly a dozen hours.
Similarly, Ling Yi's hand-built Quantum computer is undergoing self-testing using Rick's version of Quantum algorithms.
Ling Yi couldn't help but admire Rick's incredible skill. These feats, which seemed like fantasy to others, were just the tip of the iceberg in Rick's knowledge system.
It doesn't even qualify as a toy.
Along the way, people kept staring at Ling Yi Ling Yi. Although Ling Yi didn't care, the way these passersby looked at him as if he were an idiot really annoyed him.
Tonight I'm going to give Zhuo Bin a good beating, even if he's the son of Thor Zhuo Wanling, otherwise I won't be able to get over it.
When Ling Yi walked into the classroom, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Their gazes held Taunt, pity, and contempt.
After all, the title "The Most Useless Awakened in History" is still trending on social media. Ling Yi estimates that everyone except Penguin in Antarctica and bears in the Arctic should recognize him by now.
Ling Yi returned to his seat, yawned, and prepared to get a good night's sleep to recharge, as he would be working all night again.
Ling Yi popped another "candy ball" into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then lay down on the table to prepare for sleep.
In Ling Yi's view, he was at least an Awakened, and there were only a little over six hundred Awakened in the entire school.
Even the worst Awakened is not someone an ordinary person can mess with.
But this world will never lack self-righteous fools.
Jin Yuan, the class's sports representative and Longevity, is a notorious bully at school.
Every school has people like this; they're incredibly successful while in school, but once they leave, most of them are nothing special.
These kinds of guys are usually brainless. They're ruthless enough to have Xiao Di, so they think they're the boss and second-in-command.
In reality, in the eyes of teachers and parents, they were already beyond redemption and had been labeled as "scum" in advance.
Even more foolish is that some people are complacent about this label and flaunt it everywhere, which is utterly idiotic.
"Smack!"
Jin Yuan slapped Ling Yi on the head and shouted, " Ling Yi, it's time to pay back the money!"
The slap was very forceful; Ling Yi's nose slammed into the desk, causing an instant, intense pain, and blood immediately started flowing from his nose.
The so-called "returning the money" is actually a way of extorting protection money, or even robbery.
Ling Yi looked up, rubbed his nose, and chuckled twice after seeing the bloodstains on his hands.
He turned to look at Jin Yuan, but grinned at him.
Although Ling Yi was smiling, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Ling Yi was very angry at this moment, and the consequences would be severe.
At this time, Rick's volatile and reckless temper also affected Ling Yi.
Looking at Ling Yi's smile, Jin Yuan had a very bad feeling.
But people like him, who have almost no ability, value their reputation the most.
"You laugh at me, you bastard!" Jin Yuan roared.
Ling Yi took out a cell phone from his jacket pocket. It was the latest model of the Rice Cellar phone on the market, with a market price of 9,999 yuan.
"Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment when you defeat an Awakened One?" Ling Yi asked with a smile as he opened his phone.
"You don't think that just because everyone online says I'm the most useless Awakened, I really am useless, do you?"
Ling Yi's voice was calm, but to Jin Yuan, it was like Qingtian.
At that moment, he finally realized, "Yes, although that person's mentor may seem like a useless old man, who can guarantee that the mentor's abilities are actually lacking?"
Although the trending topic is still online, after two days of discussion, the comments have become polarized.
Many people now believe that the blue-haired old man may not be a weakling.
Some people have even started betting online on whether Ling Yi, this Awakened, is truly a waste.
Ling Yi opened a screen on his phone. There was a row of buttons on the screen, with words like "cold," "hot," "blindness," "dizziness," and "pain" written on them.
Ling Yi tapped the "Pain" button, then swiped up from the right side of the screen to adjust the level to 7.
Jin Yuan shuddered, then let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground.
Level 7 pain is the pain of shattered bones. At this moment, Jin Yuan felt as if all the bones in his body had been broken. The intense pain made his expression contort and his whole body tremble.
Ling Yi patiently squatted down, shook his phone, and explained, "This software on my phone is called Sensory Controller. It can Simulation brain signals through the phone, tricking your brain and thus your neural Perception."
"Oh, by the way, you might not understand what I'm saying. This is a little gadget I whipped up last night. According to my calculations, this pain might last for two hours."
"Of course, since it's the first time using it, the timing might be slightly different."
"You can tell yourself, 'I'm not in pain, I'm not in pain at all,' to wake up your deceived brain."
Jin Yuan's mind was now a Chaos. The pain had robbed him of his ability to think. His vision blurred in waves, and his ears were ringing. This kind of pain was something that no one who had never experienced it could possibly understand.
At this moment, Ling Yi slapped his forehead and said with some annoyance, "Right, I should have set up a switch so that I could turn the brain's self-protection mechanism on or off."
"Sorry, you can't faint even if you wanted to."
Ling Yi stood up and said to Jin Yuan in an extremely cold voice, "It really is too tragic."
He said it was too tragic, but his tone wasn't one of sympathy; it was Taunt.
The homeroom teacher had already entered the classroom before Ling Yi could even take out his phone.
But at that moment, he didn't dare to say a word.
This homeroom teacher is an extreme money-worshipper who looks down on the poor, even though he himself is just an ordinary office worker.
Ling Yi is an orphan. In his eyes, Ling Yi is "trash" who makes no contribution to society. He often Taunt Ling Yi Ling Yi has even beaten him on several occasions.
Seeing Ling Yi's gaze, he simply said, "Study on your own this period!" and Haste left.
The entire classroom fell into an eerie silence, except for Jin Yuan's muffled groans of pain.
Ling Yi immediately lost interest. He picked up his schoolbag, stepped over Jin Yuan, and left the classroom.
"Sure enough, going back to school was an extremely foolish decision; it would have been more interesting to go back and tinker with some gadgets."
As Ling Yi walked out of the school towards the gate, he murmured to himself.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang; it was his landlady calling.
" Ling Yi, my Fusion with the Inheritance Master has improved!" Shen Qingyi's voice was somewhat excited, even a little choked up.
"Congratulations! It won't be long before you become an expert, sis."
"Thank you too, if it weren't for your reminder..."
"Sister, even without my reminder, you would have figured it out sooner or later," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"I'll pick you up from school at noon and buy some groceries while I'm at it. We'll cook something nice to celebrate."
"I'm on my way home now."
"Go home? It's not time for school to be over yet."
I won't go to school anymore.
" Ling Yi, you..." Shen Qingyi was clearly angry, her voice rising several decibels.
"Sister, let's talk when we meet!"
When Ling Yi returned home, the door was already open.
Ling Yi frowned, not because he was angry that Shen Qingyi had entered the house without permission, but because he was worried that Shen Qingyi might have touched something she shouldn't have, which could have led to some danger.
For example, the Quantum computer performing a self-test in the bedroom, or the device that looks like a teapot and is collecting Dark Matter Source.
Quantum computers are relatively easy to deal with, but dark matter collectors are extremely dangerous; one wrong move and this planet could be destroyed.
Looks like I'll have to find a new place to live.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, Shen Qingyi frowned and said, "You're only seventeen. If you don't go to school, what can you do? Join the Guard Army?"
"Sister, Grandpa Rick is a scientific genius. The knowledge we learn in school is so childish compared to Grandpa Rick, it's not interesting at all," Ling Yi explained.
"Wasn't your mentor Space Ability?"
"There's no conflict. Just because someone has superpowers doesn't mean they can't be a scientist, sis. Wasn't your mentor a chef who also had magic?"
"If I had the chance, I would really like to go to the front lines. I'm very curious about those invading Magical Beast..."
" Ling Yi, you're not allowed to go!" Shen Qingyi said coldly, clearly genuinely angry.
Ling Yi frowned; he understood that Shen Qingyi meant well.
Ling Yi knew that Shen Qingyi had a younger brother who was also Awakened. He secretly signed up to join the Guard Army, but died on the front lines, and his body was never recovered.
Shen Qingyi had long regarded Ling Yi Ling Yi a younger brother, and she didn't want anything to happen to him.
