Luo Tianming's Splitting Headache
My condolences!
Take good care of yourself!
"You can rest assured that our current Sequence Committee is different from previous ones; we will not be overly competitive for power!"
"We will give you a ten-year grace period!"
"During this grace period, the Sequence Committee will stand with you through thick and thin to ensure that your current interests are not harmed!"
The day after Ren Yisheng lay in the Jishi Medical Center in the Academy District, members of the Sequence Committee began to come to mourn him.
Whether it was offering comfort, reassurance, or assurances, many people uttered their words.
Some people also checked the data of the X432 repair device, which had not consumed 5% of the solution even after running for twelve hours, to further determine Ren Yisheng's condition.
No matter how unwilling Ren Wuyang and Ren Anran were, this data was no longer normal living data.
Some people sighed, some breathed a sigh of relief, and some mourned.
The sheer number of people and their varied expressions and postures are difficult to describe.
However, the current acting committee was not as assertive as the first group, and instead left room for maneuver for its members.
"Is Ren Yisheng really dead?"
Benefiting from the swift implementation of the new regulations, Luo Tianming also came to investigate.
He looked at Ren Yisheng's pale face, then at the nearly shut-down X432 repair device, and then at the dejected faces of Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang.
After investigating everything, he turned to Zhang Xuezhou, whom he had spoken to on the phone but had never met in person.
"You little rascal..."
The mere thought of being persuaded by Zhang Xuezhou to be locked up in the Old Age Mansion, and even having to go there again afterward, made Luo Tianming feel a pang of pain in his liver.
But he couldn't hit Zhang Xuezhou, nor could he scold Zhang Xuezhou.
Luo Tianming didn't know why Ren Yisheng died so early, but according to the information he received from Luo Zhong, if they wanted to achieve long-term survival, they had to temper their spirits, and even Mental Strengthening to the purest possible.
Physical aging can be addressed through genetic methods, and physical breakdowns can be addressed by replacing body parts, but the mind cannot.
Only by maintaining their mental state for a long time can they live a long life with normal sanity.
Within the Scarlet Alliance State, if Luo Zhong cannot be persuaded, there is only one Lineage in Western Capital possessing the knowledge of Mental Strengthening and support techniques.
Just thinking about Ren Yisheng's research project back then, which he had once scoffed at, made Luo Tianming want to slap himself a few times.
The Ren Household did not keep the content related to the Mental Strengthening Chapter a secret, but rather shared it with the researchers. Once they had studied it to a certain extent, Ren Yisheng would provide them with further learning materials.
But few people actually take the first step.
The difficulty in getting started is not the key issue; the most crucial point is that Ren Yisheng's ' Mental Strengthening ' does not actually increase one's strength.
Everyone's too busy with gene optimization, Gene Fighting Technique, and gene weapons to have time to play with Ren Yisheng.
Few of the team members who honestly followed Ren Yisheng were successful; even those who were willing lost their ambition.
It wasn't until more than six months ago that Luo Tianming realized the true significance of Mental Strengthening.
life.
This is almost identical to Ren Yisheng's research topic.
Few people believe in this kind of topic.
When Ren Yisheng, Luo Tianming not only failed to obtain any information from Ren Yisheng, but also waited until Ren Yisheng died.
This bad luck was giving Luo Tianming a headache.
"Song Xianzong said he learned some skills from you, and now he's in high spirits and happy every day. He's found his purpose in life in his old age. I wonder if Zhang Xuezhou could teach me some too!"
Luo Tianming pondered for a few seconds, glanced at the dejected Ren Household siblings, and then asked Zhang Xuezhou.
"Then you should ask Committee Member Song," Zhang Xuezhou replied, looking up.
He looked at Luo Tianming, and his nerves couldn't help but tense up.
Because of Ren Yisheng's incident, the Sequence Committee's policies have become somewhat more lenient.
Zhang Xuezhou thought a more relaxed approach was fine, but he absolutely had no intention of dealing with these elderly high-ranking individuals.
If he could, he hoped to lock Luo Tianming up again as soon as possible.
"You don't need to be afraid of me. I'm wearing electronic shackles. Whenever I lose my mind and do evil, a strong current will surge through these shackles, causing me to lose the ability to do evil in a very short time," Luo Tianming comforted him.
"Would electronic handcuffs be useful to you?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
"It will definitely work," Luo Tianming assured him.
"How do you know?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously. "Have you tried it?"
"I haven't tried it!" Luo Tianming shook his head.
How do you know it will work for you if you don't try it?
"This is a very scientific instrument; you should trust science."
"I don't believe in science. If electronic handcuffs were useful to you, the problem would have been solved long ago!"
"It might not work for others, but it really works for me!"
I don't believe it!
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou shaking his head repeatedly, Luo Tianming almost wanted to punch the kid to show him what was going on.
But when he tried to prove the point, he abruptly turned away from this dangerous idea.
"Let's keep in touch," Luo Tianming said. "You won't be afraid of me if we communicate via radio!"
Thinking about how he almost forcibly activated the electronic shackles for verification, Luo Tianming couldn't help but break out in a light sweat.
He felt that as he grew older, his thinking ability had indeed declined rapidly.
This made him even more anxious.
Thinking of how Song Xianzong also ransacked the old mansion after Ren Yisheng ran into trouble, Luo Tianming felt even more uneasy.
He proposed a win-win solution, and only after Zhang Xuezhou made sure he agreed repeatedly did he close the matter.
"As long as you cooperate with me, I promise you won't suffer any losses," Luo Tianming assured him. "Our Luo family can provide you with corresponding conveniences within a certain scope!"
"Convenience? Could you provide some high-end medical qualifications?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"Can!"
Luo Tianming nodded in agreement, which made Zhang Xuezhou feel much happier.
Zhang Xuezhou firmly believed that money was a waste if it wasn't used.
The Zhang family had a lot of cash saved up. Apart from some investment needs, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it would be worthwhile to use it for high-end medical expenses.
Zhang Xuezhou doesn't need high-end medical care now, but he will in the future.
Zhang Manqian also has a need for high-end medical care.
Zhang Xuezhou's current priority is to secure X432 repair technology for Song Fengying and Zhang Weimeng, and to push forward the cultivation of the Mental Strengthening Chapter as much as possible.
Regardless of how useful it was to his parents, Zhang Xuezhou felt there was no harm in giving it a try.
Zhang Xuezhou felt it would be a tragedy to see his parents lying in a medical pod like Ren Yisheng.
"I need two X432 restoration sessions soon," Zhang Xuezhou quoted. "We'll offer our bottom line. Once you arrange it for me, I'll patiently discuss the details with you!"
"Twice is fine, isn't it?"
Luo Tianming nodded.
Zhang Xuezhou contained an element of coercion, but Zhang Xuezhou at least knew when to back down; he was only asking for the Luo family's allocation of high-end medical resources, not trying to freeload.
Luo Tianming felt that he could meet Zhang Xuezhou's request.
He left with a satisfied expression, and several others followed Luo Tianming.
His back-and-forth discussion with Luo Tianming made Ren Anran blink, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou was truly adept at making good use of all resources and had a good grasp of the appropriate measure.
Compared to them, Zhang Xuezhou seemed to be naturally unafraid to deal with people who were at the top level in terms of status, power, and strength.
"You need to be careful of this Commissioner Luo. Decades ago, he was the director of the Luofu Palace. Dad says he's incredibly cunning; if you're not careful..."
Just as Ren Anran was about to warn Zhang Xuezhou about Luo Tianming, the door to the medical room was opened again.
This time, waiting outside the door was a beautiful woman with extremely heavy dark circles under her eyes.
"People from the Thousand Islands Alliance?"
Zhang Xuezhou glanced around and identified the woman's likely origin.
Ren Anran also stopped admonishing Luo Tianming.
When she and Ren Wuyang looked at the woman outside the door, their eyes did not show unfamiliarity, but rather a hint of complexity.
