For the entire afternoon, Xue Jing was experimenting with various uses of double flexibility, as well as the blue bar cooling of [Twins] after it was upgraded to Lv5.
Each of the Twins' active effects has different costs, but all share a blue bar.
Among them, [Speed] consumes the most. Currently, if you use the Twin Speed alone, the blue bar will be consumed after about a minute, and you can no longer use the Twin Speed.
[Strength] Secondly, it can last for about 100 seconds.
[Flexibility] Next is the flexibility, which can last for nearly four and a half minutes.
[Defense]is close to six minutes.
The last one is [Instinct], which is similar to Defense, both last nearly six minutes.
These active effects can be used at the same time, and of course, the consumption will be cumulative.
The twins' mana is always recovering, and the current recovery speed is much faster than at low levels. When the mana bar is completely empty, it will be full in about two and a half hours.
Compared to Lv4, the overall effect has been improved quite a lot. The most important thing is that the passive resurrection cooldown time has been reduced by ten days. Currently, it only takes fifty days to revive again after resurrection, which is much more relaxed than the initial ninety days.
Xue Jing's idea of being able to revive infinitely once reaching Level 10 seems to be gradually coming true.
However, it is still too early for now. The current divinity is usually used on Shadow Flame first, and then allocated to other skills after the incarnation of divinity is created.
At six o'clock in the evening, it was getting dark.
Xue Jing looked at the devastated rooftop and thought that it was a smart choice to place the practice site on the rooftop.
If this happened indoors, the whole house would be ruined if it was damaged like this.
It would be much more convenient to put it on the roof, at most you just need to re-lay the floor.
Xue Jing returned to the bedroom, took a shower, felt refreshed, and was about to go to dinner.
At this time, the cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Wu Youqing, so he immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Boss."
Xue Jing sat down on the sofa.
"I looked into what you said yesterday about Otogi Suzuka and the Troublemaker Club."
Wu Youqing's soft and calm voice came from the receiver, bringing with it a sense of peace of mind.
“… What he said is very likely true.”
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"The actions of the 'troublemaker' are meant to delay the invasion of the alien gods into the human world."
Wu Youqing said.
"According to the information I found, there have been no new alien cults in the world since about sixty-three years ago. In the past sixty years, there have been very few incidents involving the emergence of new alien gods."
"The Neogene has only been around for about 200 years, so although researchers have noticed this slightly abnormal situation, they just thought it might be due to some kind of cyclical pattern."
"After I looked up the information about the troublemakers, I discovered that this group of people first appeared more than 60 years ago, which just fits this data..."
"It is very likely that the decrease in incidents related to alien gods over the past sixty years is due to the role they played."
Xue Jing tapped the armrest of the sofa with his index finger and murmured:
"So, the organization called 'Troublemakers' is really just?"
Wu Youqing disagreed with this statement. She said softly:
“No matter how great a goal is, if the process of achieving it is dirty, then it must be dirty.”
"Even if the purpose of the troublemakers is really to delay the invasion of the alien gods, their actions probably cannot be called in the name of justice..."
"However, these philosophical debates are irrelevant. Judging from the fact that the 'troublemakers' have never publicly declared that they are righteous, they don't care about other people's opinions."
Xue Jing smiled and nodded:
"According to Otogi Suzuka, all the members of the Troublemakers are real terrorists, problem children and psychopaths, and they are just brought together by this organization for a larger carnival... They really didn't think of using the name of justice."
Wu Youqing hummed and said, "Then there is no need to change the policy towards them. We can continue to treat them as terrorists. I will submit this opinion to the higher-ups."
Xue Jing thought for a moment and asked, "What about Otogi Suzuka himself? He is a member of the troublemakers and also a terrorist, right?"
Wu Youqing said: "It's impossible to deal with it... These are just his one-sided words from beginning to end. Unless he actually does terrorist activities that endanger the public, we can only treat it as a joke."
"Even if we arrest him, he can just say he was just making a slightly over the top joke, and then we will have to let him go. It may even cause an international dispute, which is not worth the loss."
Xue Jing nodded and said, "That is to say, just ignore him."
"That's it." Wu Youqing said.
"How sensitive is this man's identity? Why does it feel like any small incident he causes here could cause an international dispute?" Xue Jing asked casually.
Wu Youqing smiled and said, "The six great chaebols of the Far East, Tsukimori, Shinjyo, Oga, Hiisoin, Kanonomiya, and Tenmanya, you can think of them as the thirteen great families in our Zhuxia, but... in terms of their status in the country, the six great chaebols are more exaggerated than the thirteen great families."
After a pause, she continued: "They are equivalent to the country of Far East itself."
Xue Jing: “Hmm?”
"The six chaebols, like the thirteen tycoons, are the 'victors of the new era'. Compared to Zhuxia, which is too large and has a very complicated situation, Far East only has two metropolitan areas, 'Tokyo' and 'Osaka'. The size of the six chaebols is enough to completely devour this small island country."
"They are the undisputed kings of that land. Whether it is the prime minister or the emperor known as the 'living god', they are now just puppets raised by the six major financial groups."
"Therefore, as the third heir to the Oga Zaibatsu, Oga Suzuka's status is equivalent to that of a prince or heir apparent of a country. We must do our best to ensure that he does not make any mistakes in Zhuxia... Of course, these are just in accordance with basic diplomatic policies, and he has not received any special treatment."
Xue Jing suddenly realized, "I see, this is a new experience."
Wu Youqing smiled and said, "You got some very important information this time. You solved the purpose of the establishment of the Troublemaker Club and the motivation of its activities. You have made another contribution."
Xue Jing's eyes suddenly lit up and he became more energetic: "Is there a reward?"
"Not yet, I'll save it for you first." Wu Youqing said.
Xue Jing curled his lips and said, "What's the point of saving this? If you have made a contribution, why don't you reward it on the spot to show that you are generous?"
Wu Youqing snorted, "I never said I was generous."
"I don't believe it! The wise and mighty Buddha Youqing would never be stingy with a small reward. You must be an imposter. Tell me, who are you!"
"The wise and powerful Buddha Youqing is neither wise nor powerful, and even less a Buddha."
"Hmm? It sounds like you are not happy with this title. Then I will call you Female Bodhisattva from now on..."
"Xue Jing, you seem to be a little itchy..."
…
After chatting with Wu Youqing for nearly an hour, Xue Jing hung up the phone with a smile.
He had just put away his phone and was about to go out for dinner as planned, when he suddenly turned his head and looked to the side.
There was no light on in the room. It was almost dark with only a little light coming in from the window. In the dark corner of the room, a pair of emerald-like vertical pupils were staring at him dimly, like two ghost lights.
"…Teacher Wan, what are you doing squatting there?"
Xue Jing coughed dryly and spoke softly.
The cat snorted softly, and narrowed its eyes on its pretty and charming cat face, showing an ambiguous expression.
"You usually treat women coldly, but now it seems that you haven't met anyone you really like... You seem to be having a great time chatting with this Boss Wu."
Xue Jing smiled calmly: "It's a job requirement, and this is how I talk to my superiors. After all, I am also a member of society..."
Maomao was noncommittal: "I have never seen anyone in society call flirting with their superiors a job requirement."
Xue Jing walked up to her, picked her up and rubbed her head, thinking:
"How jealous are you of this? As expected of a woman with a favorability rating of over 2,000, this frightening possessiveness..."
Maomao's mouth twitched: "There must be something wrong with that broken thing. How could this leader have such a high favorability towards you? Or you lied about military intelligence. Favorability is not calculated that way..."
Xue Jing just reached out and stroked her head gently, staring at her with a smile in his eyes, without saying a word.
The cat felt uncomfortable being stared at, and felt like a child lying to his parents. His cheeks gradually became hot under the gazes of his parents who seemed to see through everything but chose to forgive him.
"snort!"
In the end, he just snorted, turned his head away, and no longer looked at Xue Jing.
…
Another day passed.
Today is the day when the U19 finals officially take place.
Xue Jing got up very early today. He got up before five o'clock and went to the rooftop. He sat cross-legged, relaxed his mind, meditated without thinking about anything, and adjusted his state.
His opponent today is not Zhou Yinglin and Mika Suzuka, but Yin Muhu.
Out of respect for his friend, although it was not necessary, Xue Jing decided to take it seriously and play the game in the best possible condition.
Although under the effect of [Zhenwu], the lower limit of his state will not fall below 100% no matter what, but if he wants to try to exert a strength above 100%, he still has to put in some effort.
It is not necessary to burn incense, bathe, and fast for three days, but at least you can meditate and show some respect.
At about eight o'clock, Xue Jing opened his eyes, and a bright divine light burst out from his eyes, extremely bright.
He stood up, walked to the edge of the roof and looked down.
He saw Ning Yuantai not far away, slowly walking towards the building where he was.
On his shoulders, he was carrying a door panel wrapped in cloth
Xue Jing was a little unsure what the two-meter-long rectangular object that Ning Yuantai was carrying was.
He turned and walked downstairs, came to the front door and opened it.
Ning Yuantai also happened to be at the door. Seeing Xue Jing guarding the door, he immediately waved and greeted him:
"Brother Xue, good morning!"
Xue Jing nodded at him and said, "Good morning."
Then he looked at the 'door panel' he was carrying with curiosity and asked, "Yuan Tai, what are you carrying?"
Ning Yuantai patted the door panel with his other hand, making a faint popping sound as if he was patting a stone, and said with a smile: "This was just airlifted in this morning. It's for you."
"Old Xu said that it was sent to you by a noble person."
Xue Jing asked doubtfully, "My dear?"
Ning Yuantai moved closer to him and whispered:
"I don't know the details, and when I asked Lao Xu he wouldn't tell me, so I called my family to investigate, but my dad called me afterwards and just said 'I can't tell you for now.'"
Xue Jing tilted his head: "What kind of riddle man operation is this?"
Ning Yuantai shrugged: "Who knows... But even though you didn't tell me anything, the words 'can't say' reveal a lot of information."
"The only people who can keep my family silent are... the Thirteen Families, and they have to be related to the direct lineage of the Thirteen Families."
"Brother Xue, can you think about what connection you had with the direct lineage of the Thirteen Great Families?"
Xue Jing looked thoughtful: "The direct descendants of the Thirteen Great Families..."
Youqing Ameng? Although she had never mentioned it to Xue Jing, judging from her last name "Wu" and the fact that she could solve almost any problem, she was very likely a direct descendant of the Thirteen Great Families... But considering his relationship with Youqing Ameng, he could just give her something without pretending to be a riddle teller.
The only one left is Zhu Clan...
The direct descendants of the Zhu family, the branch of the small house in the capital, are extremely hostile to him and should not send anything to him.
The hostility of the Zhu family's small branch in the capital was not without reason. Xue Jing once speculated that it might be related to his own senior sister Zhu Shanying.
If my senior sister is also one of the direct descendants of the Zhu family...
Could it be that this thing was sent by Senior Sister Zhu
Xue Jing shook his head, interrupting his thoughts, looked at Ning Yuantai, and stretched out his hand:
"Show me the stuff."
Ning Yuantai took down the "door panel" he was holding and handed it to Xue Jing.
As soon as he took it, Xue Jing felt a heaviness in his hand, which made him raise his eyebrows.
