"God Tu'er!"

Looking at Cai Guoli, who had regained his senses, Qin Zhong felt a surge of emotions.

The confusion of old age is a state that many people in the Old Age Mansion cannot avoid. Even Changkong Luo is uneasy about it, fearing that he will not wake up after his mind goes blank and will be treated like a wild beast.

This is a sword hanging over everyone's heads, making it difficult for many to feel at ease and causing them to act with violence and a desire for quick success.

Normal elderly people are calm and unhurried in their actions, but these people don't have the slightest bit of the demeanor of elderly people.

The group's execution was superior to that of the younger generation. Whether it was the fast-paced and violent fighting on Alliance Island or the forced hunting in the Qinmeng region, everything seemed rushed and risky.

There was no roundabout approach; for everyone, it was all a direct confrontation.

Regardless of whether the Alliance Island can defeat its opponents, or whether the ferocious beasts encountered meet its requirements, the Twilight Mansion team will simply choose to take them down.

No one can endure prolonged and continuous fighting, nor can anyone sustain a life of constant fear in a region like Qinmeng.

Cai Guoli was the first high- Sequence Holder to collapse after entering Qin Meng.

In the past, falling into this state of confusion in old age meant death; even if one did not want to die, one would be killed by others.

Throughout the decades of the Scarlet Alliance State, only Song Xianzong remained sober after making a grave mistake, and he survived thanks to the system of the old mansion.

Currently, they are in second place.

Qin Zhong stared intently at Cai Guoli's head, then glanced at Zhang Xuezhou's right hand.

He couldn't see the light of Law Power, but Qin Chong could feel a special power flowing into him, which cleared Cai Guoli's mind of its confusion.

Like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, Cai Guoli snapped out of his trance and regained his senses.

Coming back to consciousness from the chaotic state of old age does not mean the end of that chaos, but Cai Guoli at least has the possibility of consciously struggling to survive.

Qin Zhong murmured to himself. He didn't believe in gods; he believed more that Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Anran, and the others had mastered some kind of special Gene Fighting Technique or possessed some kind of special energy that could guide their physical injuries to heal rapidly.

But he found it difficult to explain the current situation.

It was as if whatever they lacked, the god Thur would bestow upon them.

If the ability to heal injuries is only needed during battles, and the need disappears once everyone has finished fighting and returned to the Old Age Mansion, then this ability is undoubtedly a necessity for many of the Old Age Mansion's residents, and it may even continue until they are truly facing death.

No one wants to use this ability, but even the most arrogant person needs to have it as a backup.

Qin Zhong can be used without, but he cannot be without.

If piety is required, Qin Zhong felt he needed to offer it, lest he be unable to receive a response from the god Tu'er when he needed it in the future.

He had seen Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran heal their injuries with ease, but he had never seen Zhang Xuezhou in such a situation of repeatedly seeking but failing to obtain what he wanted.

"Speaking of which, Song Xianzong also had a gunfight with Commissioner Zhang at the time, and even had his hand and finger bones broken before he recovered from his confused state. But at that time, Commissioner Zhang had not yet gone to the Thousand Islands Alliance!"

"That's right, if Committee Member Zhang didn't have such abilities, he wouldn't have been valued by God Tu'er and thus wouldn't have received God Tu'er's blessing!"

"There may be more than one type of divine grace, but Committee Member Zhang can only use one at the moment!"

"It's too difficult for him to use this kind of divine grace. I wonder if there are any special requirements for the divine grace, or if there's anything that could increase his success rate!"

Countless thoughts swirled in Qin Zhong's mind. He looked at his body, which appeared younger due to the injection of Life No. 1, yet still bore the lingering age spots. Involuntarily, he stepped in front of Zhang Xuezhou.

But the high risk posed by the ferocious beast did not materialize.

The group from the Twilight Mansion and Chimon Hagrid lured the ferocious beast into pursuit. Each person chose a direction from the east, west, south, or north. Unless there was only one intersection, it was difficult for everyone to overlap onto the same road.

No ferocious beasts appeared in their area, nor did any give up the pursuit and pass through the area again, and the other people from the Twilight Mansion were nowhere to be seen.

"Your current state is unstable. Your tendons and ligaments will need time to reconnect. Try to push forward the Mental Strengthening Chapter as much as possible; it's the only thing that can stabilize your mind right now!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at Cai Guoli, his eyes subtly changing.

"If you can return to Western Capital City, you can try X432 Medical Device. That kind of medical device is beneficial for promoting Mental Strengthening. This time, we obtained X864 gene drug from the Aomeijia Alliance. That gene drug also has a promoting effect on Mental Strengthening and should be able to help you get rid of the chaos's influence as quickly as possible!"

"Thank you... thank you, Committee Member Zhang!"

Cai Guoli looked ashen-faced, and as he regained his senses, he clenched his teeth tightly.

Even as he grasped at the Mental Strengthening Chapter as if it were a lifeline, Cai Guoli's face showed apprehension, completely unaware that he was about to face the end of his life.

The younger you are, the less you fear death, while the older you get, the more you fear death. This fear stems from the fact that genes affecting neurons are nearing death as they age, and even if Cai Guoli wanted to control it, he couldn't control these thoughts.

When Zhang Xuezhou reminded him, his eyes widened slightly, and a glint appeared in his eyes.

This was something Cai Guoli was unaware of before, and it even involved gene therapy from the Aomeijia Alliance.

Cai Guoli was not optimistic about his efforts to cultivate his Mental Strengthening and climb high to escape death, feeling that it was more like a last gasp before death. However, Zhang Xuezhou mentioned the power of technology, whether it was X432 medical treatment or the X864 gene drug that Zhang Xuezhou mentioned, these were methods they were familiar with in the past.

Only under such home-field advantage can Cai Guoli regain his confidence and firmly believe that even if he later enters the Twilight Mansion, he will still have the potential to catch up with the Mental Strengthening level of Changkong Luo and others.

"Committee Member Zhang, is what you said true?" Qin Zhongyou asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Which one is that?" Zhang Xuezhou, looking up.

"Is this X432 medical device that can enhance Mental Strengthening?" Qin Zhong asked.

"You can also try it and see if it works for you right now," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "I personally feel it has a positive effect on Mental Strengthening."

"No one has mentioned this before," Qin Zhongdao said.

"We were in a low position before and didn't receive X432 medical care, let alone have it used for testing," Zhang Xuezhou said. "It's only in recent years that our treatment has improved, and we happened to have an opportunity for overdose treatment, which is why we felt it had some additional benefits after the test."

"The X432 high-end medical slots are limited, and no one can afford to mess around with them," Wang Haoran said in a low voice. "I haven't even used this kind of assistance yet!"

"This is medical treatment to heal and save lives, this..."

Qin Chong gritted his teeth and repeated it several times.

Medical treatment, which is used to heal and save lives, is naturally used in times of crisis, and patients are unlikely to act as researchers.

This is not the correct way to use X432 medically, and the possibility of testing such efficacy is extremely low.

Especially for these elderly people who value their time so much, they never even considered sleeping in the X432 device.

Qin Zhong and the others sought ways to Mental Strengthening, repeatedly trying to climb higher to maintain a more stable sanity, but they never expected that they themselves controlled a shortcut to rapid ascent.
