Chapter 44
"No. I really like your outfit." Shi Wen smiled. "A very masculine outfit."
Yan Kexing a low "hmm," and pushed up his glasses with his well-defined knuckles. Shi Wen could even see the veins on the back of his hand, which made Shi Wen's mouth dry. He Shi Wen another sip of honey water.
Shi Wen, "Are you taking a short break? I see you standing outside."
"I heard the news from your end, so I came out to see you for a bit." Yan Kexing glanced at his watch and said, "I have to go back to my meeting."
Shi Wen softly replied, "Okay."
Shi Wen hung up the phone, checked the time, and went to the refrigerator to take out some food to prepare dinner.
A group of cats, dogs, and Hu Zai followed him around, running around and nearly tripping him several times.
However, since everyone was already frightened today, Shi Wen didn't want to reject this heartwarming moment, so she didn't chase them away.
Yan Kexing isn't home, so there's nothing to look forward to for dinner tonight—just boiled pork and boiled vegetables with various sauces.
Shi Wen the sauce on my own, but for the other little guys, I might just add a little salt.
Shi Wen finished dinner and stayed in bed reading for a while, Zhu Ji finally arrived with Duan Kuo, braving the wind and snow.
Shi Wen saw a beam of light outside the window and knew it was them. He quickly put on his coat and went out to help.
The little ones in the family also went out, and surprisingly, they didn't call out when they saw Zhu Ji others.
They may have sensed the difference between Zhu Ji and Duan Kuo.
Shi Wen now possesses higher levels of Divinity and Abilities, and can more accurately sense the subtle differences between Zhu Ji and Duan Kuo and ordinary humans.
When the two got out of the car, they specifically carried a rather large piece of equipment down.
Upon seeing Shi Wen, Zhu Ji looked up and smiled, saying, "This testing instrument is extremely accurate; there's absolutely no error. Try testing it again."
Zhu Ji's burning gaze seemed to bore a hole through Shi Wen.
Shi Wen helped carry the equipment into the room, saying, "I'll take the test in a bit."
Zhu Ji stared at him and then made a new request. "Could you give us some of your feces and urine? We want to take them back for further testing."
Shi Wen, "... Isn't this instrument extremely accurate?"
Zhu Ji: "The instrument only measures your physical condition. It can test the effective substances in your feces and urine. Your Divinity and Abilities are already so high; broadly speaking, you can be considered Auspicious Beasts beast like the Qilin. Your feces and urine are definitely slightly different from others."
Shi Wen: "Really?"
"Definitely!" Zhu Ji enthusiastically. "If possible, we should explore its potential applications and see if it has any other uses."
Shi Wen, who was helping to move the equipment, couldn't help but wince in pain upon hearing this. "You're going to research and develop my feces and urine?"
"Hey, don't feel guilty," Zhu Ji laughed. "The Qilin is a treasure from head to toe. It's definitely not appropriate to draw its blood and cut off its flesh. We need to focus on sustainable development. It may not sound nice to talk about feces and urine, but those are Qilin's feces and urine. How can they be the same as ordinary feces and urine?"
Shi Wen sincerely said, "Actually, I don't really want to hear how extraordinary my own feces and urine are."
"Young comrade, you need to adjust your thinking." Zhu Ji suddenly said with a serious expression, "Haven't you noticed that your ranch is quite different from the surrounding grasslands and pastures? If you ask, just say that you have Qilin guarding it, but where does the Qilin's influence on the ranch come from?"
Shi Wen knew what he wanted to say.
Zhu Ji continued cheerfully, "It's just the air you exhale, feces, and urine, etc. After all, there's very little magic in modern society; it's mostly your own bodily matter that affects this land after it's expelled."
Shi Wen a deep breath. "They're all in the septic tank."
"There must be some evaporation and emissions too," Zhu Ji said. "You reminded me. If you don't mind, I'll bring some people over in a couple of days to dig up your septic tank. Don't worry, we'll definitely build you a bigger and more convenient one then."
Shi Wen helplessly, "Anything is fine, I don't mind."
Zhu Ji: "Honestly, I suggest we just build a pipe and connect it to the manure dump. Aren't you fermenting pig, cow, and sheep manure, planning to sell it to a fertilizer plant or use it on the ranch after it's fermented? Since pig, cow, and sheep manure can be fermented, adding Qilin's won't hurt."
Shi Wen, "I understand."
Zhu Ji: "Really, think about it seriously. If it can be fermented this winter, wouldn't it be useful for spring planting next year? You're going to plant silage corn next year, right? What about rapeseed? Don't you keep bees? Shouldn't you plant some rapeseed for them as a nectar source?"
Shi Wen looked at him and said, "You really care about the ranch."
Zhu Ji smiled smugly, "Of course. You are the number one treasure in my jurisdiction, my most prized secret weapon. Even your Old Yan has to take a backseat."
Shi Wen, seemingly unintentionally, "Why?"
Zhu Ji casually remarked, "He's Fierce Beasts, you're Auspicious Beasts. How can you so easily take advantage of something that belongs to Fierce Beasts?"
Chapter 44
After Zhu Ji revealed that Yan Kexing's identity was Fierce Beasts, he refused to say anything more.
Shi Wen, along with him and Duan Kuo, had another blood test.
The values are the same as those from the afternoon's test: Divinity 1227, Abilities 1024.
Zhu Ji looked at the screen and muttered, "I reckon if I give you another year, you'll be a proper High-Level Abilities User next year."
Shi Wen, "I hope so too."
"With your potential, you might just become God-Level Abilities User." Zhu Ji looked him up and down. "I feel you can do it."
Shi Wen: "What happens when someone becomes God-Level Abilities User?"
"That would be a huge change. First, it would affect you personally; you might be able to Beast Transformation —traveling ten thousand miles a day, invulnerable to blades and spears, radiating auspicious energy," Zhu Ji said confidently. "Then there's your treatment. As God-Level Abilities User, the country's benefits will definitely increase. And then there's your influence..."
