Song Xiaozhu dared to speak in such detail because she was certain that Bai Jing had already guessed it.
This body originally belonged to the eldest daughter of Han-Tang Technology, a sixteen-year-old girl named Li Siyuan.
With her Bai Jing probably already had a feeling that she was no ordinary person when she was being rescued.
The refugees from the Garbage Mountain, how could they have such beautiful faces, such pampered skin, such delicate physiques...?
Not to mention, Li Siyuan was wearing a radiation protection suit at the time.
That's not a cheap item.
When Song Xiaozhu woke up, she was only wearing linen clothes, but in her hazy memory, she had a vague recollection of Li Siyuan staggering to the foot of the Garbage Mountain in a small aircraft, wearing a radiation protection suit.
The fact that Li Siyuan escaped unharmed after the aircraft crash demonstrates just how hardcore her "equipment" was.
After all, it is one of the world's most advanced technological products.
All these signs indicate that Bai Jing knows her identity is unusual, but she probably can't guess who it is.
The world is not peaceful, and Tianfu Holy City is quite far from Ink City Fortress. Even if Bai Jing is knowledgeable and experienced, she probably wouldn't guess that she comes from the Heavenly Palace.
Song Xiaozhu's main point in saying all this was to rationalize her awakening.
--She didn't know how she awakened, because she
amnesia
Alright.
Bai Jing knew that Li Siyuan was no ordinary person, yet she still rescued her, so she must have been mentally prepared.
Song Xiaozhu continued, " Sister Shuyu told me some things about Awakened, but she didn't know enough details. She only speculated that I was a ' Craftsman.' Well... my Force can indeed be used to make many things, like tools and such..."
Bai Jing looked at her in surprise. "You've awakened the ' Craftsman ' ability?"
Song Xiaozhu was slightly nervous. She needed to explain more, but at the same time, she couldn't reveal too much. It was not easy to strike the right balance. She had to pay close attention to Bai Jing's reaction and respond accordingly.
"I don't know either. I can't remember anything. Even what professions Awakened have, it was Sister Shuyu who told me... Well, I told Sister Shuyu that I inherited your 'body' Awakening Stone."
"My past identity would likely cause a lot of trouble, so to protect Sister Shuyu, I didn't mention my amnesia."
Song Xiaozhu spoke these words sincerely.
The less Qiu Shuyu knows about Li Siyuan's mess, the safer she is.
Bai Jing nodded, and said with her usual sarcastic remark, "You're quite clever."
Song Xiaozhu pretended not to hear and asked seriously, "Sir, is my profession really ' Craftsman '?"
Bai Jing lifted her eyelids to look at her. "Ha, how could a young lady who was born with Awakening Stone possibly be a ' Craftsman '?"
Chapter 36
She was implanted with Awakening Stone at birth?!
Song Xiaozhu felt a jolt of electricity shoot up from her tailbone to her forehead.
If Bai Jing's words are true, then this Synthesizer is very likely related to Li Siyuan, only that its ability hadn't awakened before her accident...
After all, in the young lady's chaotic fragments of memory, let alone Synthesizer, she didn't even have the concept of Awakened.
Does the profession of "compositing artist" really exist?
Since it's implanted at birth, it certainly won't awaken the lowest-level profession.
The chaebols hold the secret of the Awakening Stone, and Han-Tang Technology likely has its own theory as well. Li Siyuan, as Li Shihai's only daughter, may seem like a spoiled and willful little princess, but perhaps she was actually given a crucial Awakening ability?
Very likely.
In Li Siyuan's memory, the father and daughter had a very good relationship.
Li Shihai truly cared for her from the bottom of his heart.
But... Song Xiaozhu still couldn't understand. Li Shihai wasn't a fool, so how could he have raised his only biological child and heir to be like this?
A flower grown in a greenhouse will hardly survive, even if held by a sharp blade.
Song Xiaozhu collected her thoughts, all based on the premise that what Bai Jing said was true... or rather, correct.
Perhaps the old man has some misconceptions.
Perhaps the Synthesizer is not an awakened ability.
I always felt that its style was out of place compared to other "professional" paintings.
Song Xiaozhu carefully chose her words before speaking, "Sir, I have no memory of the past at all, and my understanding of the Awakened is limited to what Sister Shuyu told me..."
As she spoke, she looked up and asked, "Can Awakening Stone be implanted in the body at birth? But when I first woke up, I didn't awaken any abilities; instead..."
Bai Jing countered with, "What is awakening?"
Song Xiaozhu paused, then pondered, "The literal meaning is waking up, waking from a dream... Hmm, it metaphorically refers to awakening, enlightenment."
Her answer was standard and conventional, like a definition found in a dictionary.
Bai Jing: "Sudden enlightenment."
He only said two words, but Song Xiaozhu felt as if she had been struck by lightning; she truly had an "aha" moment.
So that's what it meant...
That makes sense now.
Bai Jing might not be able to guess her identity, but from the clues when they met, he could tell that she was a "young lady" who had been living away from home, born into a wealthy family.
They are the sons of chaebols, born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
Awakening Stone are extremely rare in Garbage Mountain, but in Holy City and Fortress, they are important resources that are thoroughly studied and utilized.
It is estimated that every scion of a chaebol is implanted with Awakening Stone at birth.
Implanting Awakening Stone does not mean immediate awakening, but rather planting a dormant seed that needs a long time to be nurtured, learning, exploring, and understanding the world along with the host, until at a certain moment, a sudden enlightenment occurs.
--This is awakening.
Bai Jing Song Xiaozhu had figured it out, Bai Jing continued, "The later the enlightenment, the stronger the ability."
He paused, then continued, "The greater the upheaval before enlightenment, the stronger the awakened ability."
Having said that, he habitually curled the corners of his mouth into a sneer, and said, "Of course, such power is better left unused."
