Chapter 16 Friends Indeed

Zhou Jing moved his phone slightly away from his ear, a bit helpless.

"Zhou Wei'an contacted you privately?"

"Yeah, he first congratulated me on becoming a super-powered, then said you were being forcibly immigrated, and that you needed a super-powered assistant slot to resolve it. He wanted to know if I could give the slot to you!"

"That guy… sigh, just ignore him."

Zhou Jing rubbed his temples, feeling a bit annoyed.

Yesterday, when he was visiting around, Zhou Wei'an learned from the Immigration Bureau that Li Xiaoyin had become a super-powered, and today he immediately contacted her.

Zhou Jing found that he was completely indifferent to Zhou Wei'an's behavior, without any waves, as if even disappointment was gone.

The only thing that annoyed him was that this person bypassed him and used his friendship with his best friend to bother Li Xiaoyin…

"Jingjing, is what your dad said true? Are you really being forcibly immigrated?" Li Xiaoyin asked anxiously.

"There is indeed such a thing…"

"You!" Li Xiaoyin's voice grew louder, "You're in this situation, why didn't you tell us?! If your dad hadn't called me, I would still be in the dark!"

"Uh, I…"

Zhou Jing was about to explain a little.

Li Xiaoyin didn't wait for him to speak and continued on her own, wondering:

"If I had known you were going to be forcibly immigrated, I would have given you the assistant slot! This is so important to you. Why didn't you ask me for it back then? If you had just asked, I would have definitely given it to you!"

Li Xiaoyin was quite puzzled.

With their relationship, if Zhou Jing needed help, he wouldn't be embarrassed to ask. It shouldn't be so distant!

Immigrating to a new planet meant that you basically couldn't come back in this lifetime. This was a major event concerning the next few decades of life! There was no reason for Zhou Jing not to seek help!

She greatly regretted that the slot had been given out too early, and she couldn't help Zhou Jing, who actually needed help the most.

Zhou Jing felt somewhat helpless and reminded her, "Don't let Xu Lingyun hear this…"

Li Xiaoyin suddenly felt that she understood and said in shock, "I get it! You didn't ask at the time because you didn't want to snatch Xu Lingyun's slot?!"

"Uh, not exactly…"

"Jingjing! That must be what you were thinking, right! Oh my god, you're such a good friend!!"

Li Xiaoyin shouted excitedly, almost breaking her voice, forcing Zhou Jing to move his phone further away again.

After thinking about it, she felt that this was the only possible truth.

So, during the dinner that night, Zhou Jing didn't ask for the slot because he didn't want to take away his brother's chance to change his fate.

For this reason, he was willing to hide his true situation, and even if he encountered difficulties, he would not speak up and silently bear it all…

Li Xiaoyin was completely shocked.

"Jingjing! From now on, I won't admire anyone else but you! You're a true brother!"

Li Xiaoyin was filled with awe.

Originally, when Zhou Jing didn't compete for the slot at the time, she thought Zhou Jing was quite righteous, but in her opinion, Zhou Jing didn't need it, so it was excusable not to ask.

But now, she learned that Zhou Jing was in trouble at the time, and actually needed the assistant slot more than Xu Lingyun to change his situation, but he still silently gave it to his friend…

The feeling was completely different!

At this moment, Zhou Jing's image in her heart suddenly rose to a sky-high position!

What kind of righteousness was this! Utterly righteous!

What is a true brother? This is a true brother!

Xu Lingyun has a friend like you; his ancestral grave must have been struck by lightning!

Li Xiaoyin said emotionally:

"No, I can't call you Jingjing anymore in the future, you are the utterly righteous, handsome Zhou Lang!"

"Calm down a bit…"

Seeing Li Xiaoyin's overreaction, Zhou Jing just wanted to scratch his head.

Although there was a part of this reason for him doing this, the main reason was that he felt that he could solve this difficulty by using the Star Realm Transcending Panel.

Listening to Li Xiaoyin praise him like this, he couldn't stand it a bit.

At this time, Li Xiaoyin's tone suddenly became dejected:

"Jingjing, you consider your friends, but don't you consider yourself? My slot was given to Lao Xu, and he has already been strengthened. I can't help you now. In that case, are you going to leave us?"

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyin seemed to have made up her mind, and her tone suddenly became high-spirited and excited:

"Don't worry! I won't watch you go to an alien planet alone and grow old there in solitude! If you immigrate, I will immigrate with you and go with you!"

Zhou Jing was startled and didn't expect Li Xiaoyin to say that suddenly.

"Are you serious?"

Li Xiaoyin's tone was extremely solemn: "Of course! I'm definitely not joking! I have no ties, it's the same wherever I go. If you leave, I will definitely go with you and not let you be alone!"

Good fellow, the way you say it, it's like you're going to commit suicide with me…

Zhou Jing hissed and said, "What about Xu Lingyun? He's your assistant…"

"Of course, we'll go together!" Li Xiaoyin's tone was a matter of course, "You've made such a big sacrifice for him. If he doesn't want to go, I'll break his leg and pack him onto the ship anyway! To be with you!"

Zhou Jing was speechless.

Okay, it's not the first day he's known Li Xiaoyin. This is indeed something she would do…

Zhou Jing could feel that Li Xiaoyin was serious when she said this.

If he was really forcibly immigrated, this good friend would definitely go with him and not let him drift alone on a strange planet…

He couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.

Seeing that Zhou Jing didn't reply, Li Xiaoyin thought he didn't believe it and quickly said, "It's not clear over the phone. I'll go find you now. Where are you?!"

"Well, I'm at the Superpower Bureau…"

Li Xiaoyin was stunned.

"What are you doing there?"

Zhou Jing scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I wanted to tell you just now that I recently awakened my superpower and am going through registration procedures here… The forced immigration doesn't count for me anymore."

The phone was quiet for a long time.

It seemed that Li Xiaoyin was digesting this shocking news.

More than ten seconds later, Li Xiaoyin spoke again, extremely pleasantly surprised:

"Wait for me, I'll go find you now!"

After speaking, Li Xiaoyin hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving only a busy tone in the phone.

Zhou Jing shook his head helplessly.

He originally planned to call his friends out for dinner after the registration was completed to announce the matter, so that everyone wouldn't worry for nothing.

But it's okay to know now, after all, it's only a difference of a few days.

Zhou Jing put down his phone and continued to bury himself in his dinner. However, after only a few minutes, the phone rang again.

"Ding-ling-ling~"

He picked it up and saw that it was Xu Lingyun calling this time.

"Bro! I already know! I… I really don't know what to say! You actually did this for me!"

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Lingyun's incoherent voice came out.

"Calm down." Zhou Jing said helplessly.

"No, how can I calm down! I'm so touched that I'm about to cry!"

Xu Lingyun's tone was extremely excited, and it sounded like he couldn't wait to kowtow to Zhou Jing over the phone on the spot.

Zhou Jing wanted to explain, "Xiaoyin exaggerated things…"

But before he could finish speaking, Xu Lingyun said excitedly:

"Brothers, there's no need to say anything! I will always remember your loyalty! Wait for me, I'll come over and kiss you right away!"

With a "pa" sound, the phone hung up.

The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched slightly.

He only hoped that Xu Lingyun wasn't serious…

…

After finishing his meal in a hurry, Zhou Jing returned to his room. Before long, the doorbell rang urgently, beeping non-stop.

His body tensed up immediately. He went to open the door, and it was Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun who had come.

Both of them were super-powered, so they naturally had the authority to move around inside the Superpower Bureau.

Before Zhou Jing could speak, Xu Lingyun pounced on him.

"Brother!"

Slap!

Zhou Jing quickly reacted and slapped his hand on his face, keeping his head at a safe distance from himself.

"Talk about things first, keep your mouth away from me!"

Xu Lingyun reached out a few times, but couldn't reach Zhou Jing's face, so he had to take two steps back and looked at Zhou Jing excitedly, unable to say anything.

Li Xiaoyin also walked in and patted Zhou Jing's shoulder vigorously, happily saying:

"Jingjing, you really became a super-powered? How did you awaken?"

"I just awakened naturally." Zhou Jing shook his head and smiled.

"That's great, the problem is solved!" Li Xiaoyin laughed, "You gave the slot to Lao Xu, but you actually awakened your superpower, that's a reward for good people!"

Although it had only been ten days since the last dinner, no one could say for sure about awakening. Li Xiaoyin didn't doubt it and was sincerely happy for Zhou Jing.

In her opinion, Zhou Jing's awakening was an accident. He definitely didn't know that he could awaken in the future at the dinner that night, which didn't affect Zhou Jing's image of being utterly righteous in her heart, and she still admired Zhou Jing's choice at the time.

Xu Lingyun also understood this. Zhou Jing gave him the opportunity to change his fate. As the person involved, he was the most grateful.

He was so moved that he couldn't add anything. He couldn't help but say:

"Brother, I'm so touched that I can't do anything… Why don't you sleep with me? Apart from this, I can't think of how to repay you. Although I don't like men, but if it's you…"

"Get out of here!"

Zhou Jing raised his foot and kicked Xu Lingyun away.

Xu Lingyun covered the footprint on his butt and looked at Zhou Jing affectionately: "Although my body belongs to Sister Yin, my heart will always belong to you…"

"Give your body and heart to Jingjing, I don't want them!" Li Xiaoyin couldn't help but say.

Zhou Jing grabbed the back of Xu Lingyun's neck, raised his fist and gesticulated: "Can you stop talking nonsense? Should I give you a physical awakening?"

Only then did Xu Lingyun put away his unruliness, tidied up his collar, and said loudly:

"Just kidding, from today onwards, you are my dear brother! If my dear brother tells me to go east, I will never go west! If my dear brother tells me to eat shit, I will never waste a drop of grain!"

As he said that, he suddenly paused and hesitated: "I'm just saying it casually, you won't really let me eat shit, will you?"

"Okay, okay, it's enough to have the thought."

Zhou Jing supported his forehead.

The three of them made a fuss for a while before sitting down and talking about Zhou Jing's changes.

Li Xiaoyin was very curious: "Speaking of which, Jingjing, what kind of ability did you awaken?"

"Pure physical enhancement, the potential assessment is C."

Zhou Jing gave a general overview of the Superpower Bureau's assessment report.

Hearing this, Xu Lingyun couldn't help but interject:

"Hey, that's quite similar to me. After I injected the gene potion, it also improved my physical fitness. Pure physical enhancement."

Zhou Jing looked at him and asked curiously, "What are your specific parameters?"

"Arm strength is about one and a half tons, long-distance running speed fluctuates at fifty kilometers per hour, and the sprint speed for short-distance running is about twenty-three or four meters per second…"

Xu Lingyun listed them one by one.

He hadn't been strengthened for long. A primary gene warrior who used gene potions was generally at this level, also known as a super soldier.

Zhou Jing compared it in his heart. His physical fitness was roughly twice as strong as Xu Lingyun's overall.

With his understanding of the panel attributes… Xu Lingyun's physical attributes should be between 24 and 28.

"Because I was strengthened with gene potions, my potential assessment is currently E, the lowest level. Although it can be improved through exercise later, it's more difficult." Xu Lingyun shrugged.

Zhou Jing thought for a while and said, "There should be many types of gene potions, right?"

Li Xiaoyin interjected, "That's right. The Superpower Bureau initially only provided primary gene potions to the assistant slots. There are higher levels later, but those won't be opened casually. You need to accumulate merit, position, and other things before you can buy them from the Superpower Bureau. It seems quite troublesome."

"I'm content with being a super-powered. Anyway, I'm following Sister Yin, and it's okay if I'm hungry nine times a day."

Xu Lingyun waved his hand indifferently, then looked at Zhou Jing:

"But you don't have to be forcibly immigrated anymore. What are your plans for the future?"

Zhou Jing pondered for a while and hesitated, "Maybe… I want to do some interstellar immigration."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun were stunned.

"Aren't you free from being forced? Why do you still want to immigrate?" Xu Lingyun asked in surprise.

"I'm still considering…"

Zhou Jing explained the benefits that Feng Feng had introduced.

The two of them seemed to be hearing it for the first time. No one had told them when they registered at the Superpower Bureau before.

Li Xiaoyin crossed her legs and said thoughtfully:

"Actually, I've been worried about my future path recently. I don't know what to do. According to what you said, immigration is indeed very suitable for newly awakened people like us… Let's do this, I still mean what I said before. If you want to go, then we'll immigrate with you. Just call us when you decide."

Zhou Jing was stunned: "Aren't you going to think about it more?"

Li Xiaoyin waved her hand: "Hey, the two of us are different from you. We have no attachments here and are free. It's life wherever we go."

"Yeah, and if I immigrate, maybe I can find my dad on the new planet and beat him up." Xu Lingyun also nodded, having no objections.

For him, it was better to live with his friends than to stay in the sad place where his parents abandoned him. Home is where your friends are.

Zhou Jing was speechless. These two were so carefree.

At this time, Xu Lingyun asked strangely, "But aren't you quite taking care of your family? Why do you suddenly want to immigrate? What about your family?"

"They don't need me to take care of them anymore. I helped my family replace the forced immigration slot. We'll each go our own way in the future. Anyway, they're not without hands or feet. They can live well without me."

Zhou Jing shrugged and said casually.

Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun looked at each other, probably guessing what had happened.

Neither of them wanted to interfere in other people's family affairs, and it was difficult to say right or wrong.

"Okay, living alone is not bad. Anyway, young people have been doing this in this era." Li Xiaoyin pretended to be old-fashioned.

"By the way, what about Zhang Xiao?"

Xu Lingyun asked. He didn't forget that he also owed Zhang Xiao a favor.

Zhou Jing smiled:

"After I register, I'll also have an assistant slot. I'll give the slot to him."

He had already thought about it. Rather than using this slot to exchange for money and find a stranger to be his assistant, it was better to give it to his best friend. Zhang Xiao was a reliable good friend.

As for whether Zhang Xiao was willing to immigrate… he could ask him later.

Zhou Jing didn't want to immigrate at first, one was because he was reluctant to leave his homeland, and the other was because he was worried about these friends.

If these friends didn't mind venturing out together, then there was no need to insist on staying. Even if he lived on a strange planet, he wouldn't be repulsed… It even seemed to have a novelty and anticipation of seeing a new environment.

At this time, Xu Lingyun suddenly winked and said with a smile:

"Brother, you're physically enhanced, and I'm also physically enhanced. We're both here… Should we have a little spar?"
