After a comfortable sleep and breakfast, Lin Yan followed Chen Chu to the headquarters again. Unlike yesterday, Lin Yan's smile never stopped from the moment she entered the headquarters gate, because she came to claim reimbursement today.
Yes, the headquarters is rich. They reimbursed 20,000 energy stones immediately. Unlike their Jin City Group 6, the total amount of energy stones in the entire warehouse is less than 5,000.
Chen Chu was infected by Lin Yan's smile, and his mood also improved. He sent Lin Yan all the way to the door of the headquarters warehouse, and then said: "After you get the energy stones, you can go back by yourself. I may be in the research institute for the next two days."
"Why are you going to the research institute? You're not a researcher." Lin Xi asked subconsciously.
"My ability has been upgraded, and the research institute wants to collect some data." Chen Chu explained.
Lin Yan nodded, indicating that she understood, and then continued: "Then can you come out tomorrow? Tomorrow night, around five or six o'clock, just come out for half an hour."
Chen Chu was puzzled: "Is there something wrong?"
"I'm going to have a car accident tomorrow." Lin Xi's tone was relaxed, as if she wasn't going to have a car accident tomorrow but a date.
There was another car accident, and the time was calculated so accurately
Chen Chu frowned and calculated the time: "You have a car accident every three days?"
From the car accident at Country Y Airport to tomorrow afternoon around five or six, it will be exactly three days.
Lin Xi: "Originally it wasn't, it was mainly because I overdrew my powers too much during this trip to the Miao village, so the sequelae were a bit serious. Fortunately, there is a solution now, so it's not a big problem."
Chen Chu thought about the dangers of this trip to the Miao village and Sadako's almost impossible ability to travel through time, and easily accepted Lin Yan's explanation: "Okay, I'll come out when the time comes."
Lin Xi was immediately relieved.
Chen Chu waited for Lin Yan to enter the warehouse before turning around and walking towards the research institute behind the building. Yesterday in the conference room, Mr. Hua had hinted at him, and this morning when Chen Chu woke up, he received a call from the research institute, asking him to report to the research institute after breakfast.
What did the institute want him to do? Thinking of what Mr. Hua said yesterday about wanting to give him some pointers, Chen Chu guessed that he might have come into contact with the ultimate power of the government.
Here, Lin Yan entered the warehouse and quickly completed the reimbursement. The warehouse manager had been notified and had prepared the energy stones early in the morning. When he saw Lin Yan come in, he verified her identity and gave her the storage item containing the energy stones on the spot.
"There are 20,000 energy stones inside. Because a while ago a wood-type mutant was promoted to A-level and exchanged a large number of wood-type energy stones from the headquarters, there are relatively few wood-type energy stones inside, only about 2,000. The number of energy stones of the other four types is equal." The person in charge explained the situation of the energy stones inside.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's an energy stone." Sadako is not picky about food, as long as it's an energy stone, it's fine.
"Then you can just sign here and leave." The person in charge pointed to the receipt form on the table.
"Okay." Lin Yan signed her name without even counting the energy stones in the bag to see if there were enough for 20,000. It wasn't that she trusted the official and thought the official wouldn't give her less energy stones, but she had already asked for twice as many energy stones. Even if the official gave her less, would it still be 10,000 less? So no matter what, she was getting a bargain this time.
When the person in charge saw Lin Yan finish signing, he kindly reminded her, "Do you need me to prepare a practice room for you?"
Training room? Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that she had seen this thing in the official forum. The so-called training room is actually a room with a formation. When the psychic absorbs energy stones for training, due to the relationship between absorption speed and conversion rate, some of the energy released by the energy stones will dissipate into the air. The formation in the training room is to prevent the loss of this kind of superpower. The formation will lock the energy that the psychic cannot absorb and overflows in the training room, allowing the psychic to absorb it slowly, which greatly saves energy stones while creating a closed space full of energy for the psychic, and can also increase the probability of the psychic's promotion.
The construction of a training room is very complicated, and only researchers in the institute can set it up, so there are only a few places in the whole of China that have training rooms. And only people with certain merits can enter.
"Can I use the training room?" Lin Yan pointed at herself with disbelief on her face.
"Yes, your merit has reached A-level." said the person in charge.
I actually have an A-level merit? Lin Yan was shocked.
"Then have one?" It would be a waste if you don't use it.
"Please follow me." The person in charge took Lin Yan to the training room next to the warehouse. Because many meritorious psychics would come to the warehouse to collect supplies before training, the headquarters simply built a training room near the warehouse, and today the training room happened to be vacant.
Sitting in the training room, looking at the mysterious runes on the walls, Lin Yan poured out all the energy stones in the storage items. There were 20,000 energy stones, almost piled up into a small mountain in the middle of the room, with colorful luster that almost blinded the eyes.
Lin Xi found a suitable spot on the hill and lay down, then took out her mobile phone, turned on the beauty filter and started taking selfies.
"Send it out to show off." Lin Xi sent all the photos she took to six groups without caring whether it would irritate others.
After sending the photos, Lin An's cell phone started ringing, but she didn't go in to check it immediately. Instead, she took out "Sadako's long hair" from the inventory first.
Sadako's long gray hair was dull and lifeless, and she no longer had the vitality of the past. Lin Yan felt distressed as she watched, "Sadako, these energy stones... Oh my!"
Lin Yan was about to say that all these energy stones were hers, so she could eat them freely, but when she looked down, she saw that a corner of the energy stone pile was missing. Someone, no, someone's hair, had already happily swallowed them without her asking, and at this speed, she would be able to finish swallowing all the energy stones in half an hour.
Fortunately, I took photos in advance, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to show off my wealth.
Lin Xi simply ignored Sadako's long hair and threw it on the mountain of energy stones, letting it eat as much as it wanted. Lin Xi did not collect the extra ten thousand energy stones. She had figured it out. If she kept the energy stones, she would not be able to use them. It would be better to let Sadako eat them all. The stronger Sadako was, the stronger her escape skills would be.
There were no chairs in the practice room, so Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the floor, opened WeChat and admired the results of her display of wealth.
After she posted the photo, everyone in the group showed a series of shocked and speechless expressions before they started talking.
Aquaman: [Damn, with so many energy stones, have you emptied the Miao village?]
King of Dirty: [With your luck, you still dare to show off your wealth? Be careful or it will be gone in a while.]
Lin Xi: “!!” Oh my god, it hurts.
Qingkong: [With this background, are you in the training room?]
Assistant Tan: [Is this the legendary practice room? @Qingkong, have you been there?]
Qingkong: [Based on some information collected online, combined with the scene in the photo and the fact that Lin Yan was at the headquarters, this is a reasonable guess.]
Aquaman: [It is said that the success rate of advancement in the training room is very high. @Assistant Tan, you have been in seclusion for three times, and you are still at level C. Why don’t you try the training room?]
Assistant Tan: [If I could use the practice room, I wouldn’t need you to remind me.]
Qingkong: [The training room requires A-level merit to use, or half of the energy stones required for advancement, but the latter requires waiting in line for at least half a year.]
Aquaman: [Oh my god, Lin Yan has achieved A-level merit?]
Qingkong: [Transferring the earth vein map and saving millions of lives, A-level merit is reasonable.]
Hai Wang: [@Assistant Tan, please try to curry favor with Lin Yan and ask her to give you the chance to use her.]
Assistant Tan: [Shut up!]
Wu Wang: [@海王, what a stupid idea! What if Assistant Tan still can’t advance after going to the training room? How can he find an excuse?]
Aquaman: [I see!]
Qingkong: [I actually didn’t even think of this.]
Assistant Tan: [Your bonuses for this month have all been deducted.]
Aquaman: [Do we have any bonuses?]
Wu Wang: [I can no longer find my salary card.]
Qingkong: [The bonus is 500 per month.]
Aquaman: [It’s so little, not even enough for me to treat my sister to a meal.]
Lin Yan read them one by one, and was very happy. However, Hai Wang and his men didn't care about the 500 yuan, but she did. In order to prevent Assistant Tan from getting angry and really deducting the bonus, Lin Yan hurriedly said: [@Hai Wang, what nonsense are you talking about? Assistant Tan is my leader, and I should curry favor with him. @Assistant Tan, I will take care of this matter when I get out.]
Aquaman: [This lackey, tsk tsk!]
Dirt King: [Tsk tsk!]
Qingkong: [Tsk tsk!]
The opportunity to use the training room was precious, but Lin Yan herself couldn't use it, so she might as well give it to someone else. She didn't know many people with special abilities, only the few in Group 6, and Assistant Tan had been in seclusion for three times but had not succeeded in advancing, which was really pitiful.
Assistant Tan: [No need!!!]
Assistant Tan was a person who cared about his reputation. After being teased like this by the people in Group 6, he could not agree even if he wanted to. Everyone in Group 6 also knew Assistant Tan's character, so no one continued the topic and tacitly let it go.
Aquaman: [Where is Chen Chu?]
Lin Yan: [I went to the research institute.]
King of Dirt: [Research Institute? What is he doing there?]
Just as Lin Yan was about to answer, Qingkong sent a message in the group: [Chen Chu has just been promoted to Super S-level. The research institute should be collecting data and re-evaluating his abilities.]
Qingkong is so smart, it seems like he knows everything.
Lin Xi immediately deleted the words she had typed and replied with a yes.
Aquaman: [When will you return to Jin City?]
Lin An: [Wait for Senior Chen Chu to join us.]
Qingkong: [Chen Chu may not be able to come back.]
Lin Yan was stunned: [Why?]
Qingkong: [Just a guess.]
Aquaman: [What are you guessing about? What’s your reason?]
Qingkong: [I guess the headquarters already has super S-level psychics. They have formed a secret force directly under the headquarters to carry out some special missions.]
Aquaman: [Oh shit, is this true?]
Dirt King: [Really.]
Aquaman: [!!! Why do you know that too?]
Qingkong: [Have you forgotten the origin of the Dirty King? Even a super S-level psychic would be injured.] The Yun family is the most powerful family in the wood-type psychic power.
Assistant Tan: [Can we not discuss this kind of thing here? We are just a small third-level supernatural organization, and you are just a group of C-level supernaturals.]
A group of C-level mutants
Lin Yan: [Aren’t you, Assistant Tan, the only one at level C in the group?]
Assistant Tan: […your bonus is gone too.]
Lin: [!!!] What did she say wrong
Aquaman: [So you think Chen Chu will join this super S-class unit and won't come back?]
Qingkong: [It should be.]
If Senior Chen Chu really doesn't go back, then who will turn her into a puppet if the car accident penalty is triggered again? Otherwise, use the signature paper of the thief god to steal the puppet master's ability
Lin Xi had thought about using props to steal the puppet master's ability before, but she was afraid that she would be unlucky. If she stole the wrong one, it would be bad if she stole the space ability. The space ability was useless to her, but it would be very useful to Chen Chu. If she stole the wrong one, she would not be able to get it back.
But it doesn't matter, at most I'll just waste another "signature paper of the thief god" and let Senior Chen Chu steal it back. He's so lucky, he will definitely not steal the wrong thing.
In the afternoon, Lin Yan strolled around the capital and ate some local snacks. The next day, she got up early and visited the Forbidden City. Then, she returned to the headquarters half an hour before the seal expired.
In the research institute, Chen Chu came out of the training room on time. His face was pale, sweaty, and his breath was unstable, which caused the energy detection equipment in the research institute to sound an alarm.
"Your supernatural power is still not stable?" Old Hua looked at Chen Chu with a serious expression.
"No." Chen Chu shook his head while panting. "After my superpowers were upgraded, the energy in my body increased too much. It's hard to control it."
"What about elementalization?" asked Elder Hua.
“I can transform into an element, but I’m not sure if I can recover.” Chen Chu said.
"That shouldn't be the case. With your talent combined with the training method I gave you, it shouldn't be a problem for you to master the operation of your supernatural powers." Old Hua was puzzled.
Qingkong guessed correctly. The reason why Mr. Hua asked Chen Chu to go to the research institute was to help Chen Chu master SS-level abilities and then join Kunlun. Kunlun is the most powerful team in China, and everyone in it is a super S-level genius.
Chen Chu lowered his head with disappointment on his face.
Elder Hua said reluctantly, "It may be related to the way you broke through. You broke through too quickly and too suddenly, which consumed some of your body's potential. Go back and rest first, and I will think of a solution."
Chen Chu showed gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Hua."
After coming out of the research institute, Chen Chu walked out quickly. When he walked out of the gate, he saw Lin Yan standing at the door waiting for him. Chen Chu's aura was restrained, and the supernatural power that had been restless just now calmed down instantly, becoming gentle and harmonious.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Chen Chu asked.
"No, I just got here." Seeing that Chen Chu looked unhappy, Lin Yan asked, "Senior, why do you look so bad?"
"My superpowers have been overdrawn." In order to cooperate with the training, Chen Chu's superpowers were greatly depleted.
"Then do you want to take a break and absorb some energy stones first?" Lin Wei asked.
"No need. Turning you into a puppet won't consume much of my supernatural power." Chen Chu said.
"Although it's the truth, why does it sound like I'm useless?" Lin Xi pouted.
"That's not what I meant." Chen Chu hurriedly explained.
"I know, I was just kidding." Lin Yan looked at the countdown in the system, "There are still ten minutes left. Let's go to the mall over there. After we are all hit by cars, we can have dinner."
When I went out to eat after the car accident, there was no one else there except her.
Chen Chu naturally had no objection, and while following Lin Yan to the mall, he listened to what Lin Yan had done in the past two days. Finally, the ten minutes were almost up, and the two found a blind spot for the surveillance, and Chen Chu quickly turned Lin Yan into a puppet.
"You wait here, I'll be back soon." The palm-sized puppet said, and then stepped into the bushes with its short legs, ran to the curb, and then rushed towards the road bravely.
“Bang, crack!”
The palm-sized puppet could no longer cause a car accident scene. The car crushed the puppet under its wheels and continued to drive away almost without any feeling.
At the same time, Chen Chu, who was standing in the bushes and had been paying attention to Lin Yan's actions, was suddenly hit by a huge force. He flew backwards and hit the wall behind him heavily.
Severe pain came from his internal organs, and his body felt as if it was run over by cars one after another. Chen Chu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Normally, this injury wouldn't cause him to vomit blood, but after two days of training, Chen Chu's energy was completely depleted, and he was at his weakest. Chen Chu's face was pale, and he looked up in the direction of the road.
Was it a car accident? Did Lin Xi's car accident transfer to him? Was it the sequelae of the puppet's supernatural power
He didn't know which car had run over him before the pain finally subsided. Chen Chu knew that Lin Yan must have walked out of the traffic. He quickly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his black sleeve, and walked back to where he was before.
"Senior." After a moment, the puppet Lin Yan came out from the bushes and happily jumped in front of Chen Chu, "It's done, change me back quickly."
Chen Chu smiled and removed the puppet's ability to transform Lin Xi back to normal.
"Senior, let me tell you, I was scared to death just now." Lin Xi shouted exaggeratedly as soon as she came back to life.
"What's wrong? Does it still hurt?" Chen Chu asked.
"It didn't hurt, but because I was too small, the car didn't stop after hitting me, and then it kept running over me. It was so cruel, I was afraid I would be crushed." Unlike before, when the car stopped immediately after hitting her, "Next time I have to choose a place with fewer cars, otherwise I will be run over again."
"Yeah." Chen Chu nodded.
"By the way, senior, when we get back to the hotel, can I steal the puppeteer's ability from you?" Lin Xi negotiated.
"Why?" Chen Chu was stunned.
"I have a car accident once every three days, which is quite frequent. It's not good to trouble you every time, so I thought of stealing it back for convenience." Lin Xi expressed her thoughts.
Chen Chu: "Can you leave the Puppet Master ability to me? This ability is very useful to me. I promise to use it on you once every three days. I won't let you get hurt by a car. I can also exchange it for other props. Besides, your ability is only F-level. Even if you steal it, you may not be able to use it."
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Chen Chu said made a lot of sense: "Okay...Okay, no need to exchange props, if you want it, just keep it."
The puppet master's ability was useless to her. She came back mainly because she didn't want to trouble Chen Chu too much. As for herself, it was actually quite convenient. Sadako could automatically locate Chen Chu, so she could just crawl over when she needed to use her ability.
Chen Chu smiled: "Thank you."
