The clash of tech titans was simple, unadorned, and sharp.
Sister Jiang and Min Liang had escalated from the technical to the moral.
Finally, it was Susan, who arrived at work after finishing her shopping, who stopped the war. The conclusion was to use Min Liang's detection system before Sister Jiang completed her modeling, and then encourage Min Liang to continue his efforts to make the demon energy detection system bigger and stronger, covering the whole world.
No one could resist the gentle encouragement of a 1.92-meter tall, voluptuous older sister. Even Min Liang, who was fanatically devoted to technology, couldn't, because if he didn't listen, Susan's fists would make him.
Ever since he saw Susan casually crush six Level 5 demons while crossing the street last night, He Li understood that Susan's single status had nothing to do with her height.
The nickname "Auntie" really suited Susan. Dating Susan was too oppressive; it was better to be still than to move.
Susan threw her shopping haul onto the sofa, then went to the bar for a drink and asked, "We're not eating at the cafeteria for lunch, are we? How about we go to Tim's Restaurant? I heard they have a new chef."
Huh?
He Li and Bai Fei both froze for a moment, exchanged glances, and then looked away simultaneously.
Their visit to Tim's Restaurant was not for the food, but for the waitstaff. What was Susan's reason? Was it truly to taste the new chef's skills?
"Sure, let's go together, let's go together, hehe..." Bai Fei said, wiping a glass with an awkward laugh.
Susan looked at Bai Fei and then at He Li strangely. She felt there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
Tim's Restaurant was very elegant, but He Li didn't expect it to be a fusion restaurant, not the Western or French cuisine he had imagined.
However, it was delicious.
He Li and Susan enjoyed the food, commenting from time to time. It was mainly Susan talking, and He Li listening. In the past, given He Li's financial situation, he wouldn't even dare to think about eating here, let alone coming.
A plate of cheese shrimp balls had only eight shrimp balls and cost 99 yuan. Six small lamb chops cost 278 yuan.
Heh... The only good thing about this restaurant was that it never scammed the poor.
He Li ate with trepidation, while Bai Fei sat upright, his gaze unwavering, a faint smile always on his face.
He Li concluded that Bai Fei liked Captain Susan, but not very obviously, and was even quite afraid of her.
If Susan confessed to Bai Fei, Bai Fei probably wouldn't have the courage to refuse.
After returning from the meal, it was lunchtime.
In fact, when there were no demons, these people either cultivated or idled, and then spent money, all sorts of money. For example, the hundreds of types of alcohol in the wine cabinet were bought by Bai Fei himself, and then he made cocktails for everyone.
The equipment in the monitoring room was bought by Sister Jiang and Min Liang themselves, who said they were used to it and that the equipment provided by headquarters was garbage.
As for the funds allocated by headquarters each month, everyone split them up and treated them as bonuses.
He Li lay on the long sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, squinting and enjoying the sunlight reflected by the glass. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, scanned his surroundings, and then glanced at the wine cabinet behind the bar. Bai Fei wasn't there.
He Li looked towards Xiao Yue, who was standing with his hands behind his back by the floor-to-ceiling window, and asked softly, "Did you see who it was?"
Xiao Yue didn't turn his head. He looked at half of Binjiang City and said, "I saw. My mental power is not enough to cover the entire Binjiang City, nor can it break through the mental barriers of those prying eyes. However, I borrowed He Jun's mental power, so I saw it easily."
"Who is it?" He Li asked.
Xiao Yue said softly, "It's not 'who,' but a trace of mental power left in Binjiang. The owner of this mental power is not in Binjiang, but this trace of mental power can spy on you."
"Heh heh..."
Xiao Yue chuckled softly, but there was anger in his laughter.
"Isn't it interesting? Someone left a trace of mental power here to monitor you."
As Xiao Yue finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand, his wrist extending through the floor-to-ceiling window glass. His fingers gently closed, as if grasping something, and then he retracted his hand.
Xiao Yue turned around and faced He Li.
He Li looked at Xiao Yue's hand. He couldn't see clearly, but he could clearly feel a thread in Xiao Yue's hand, and that thread was the mental power Xiao Yue had mentioned.
The next moment.
Another figure appeared beside He Li, with a cold expression and a calm gaze that exuded an unyielding dominance.
"He Jun, do you know whose mental power this is?" He Li asked the man beside him.
He Jun's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Xiao Yue, reaching out to grab the trace of mental power in Xiao Yue's hand. Xiao Yue immediately let go and took half a step back. He Li could clearly feel that Xiao Yue deeply respected He Jun, not out of fear, but out of genuine respect.
He Jun rubbed the trace of mental power between his fingers, then applied a little force, and the trace of mental power disappeared.
"This mental power is very similar to yours," He Jun said to He Li.
"What?" He Li was very surprised. He sat up and looked at He Jun.
He Jun nodded and said calmly, "Yes, although it's not as powerful as yours, it's very similar to your mental power."
He Jun paused, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Rather than spying on you, it's more like he's looking for you."
He Jun looked into He Li's eyes and said, "It's like looking for a kindred spirit."
Looking for a kindred spirit?
My kindred spirit?
He Li thought for a moment and said, "Is it an Awakened, or... a Transmigrator?"
Perhaps "kindred spirit" wasn't the most appropriate term, but the fact was, his only kindred spirits were these two: the Awakened and the Transmigrator.
Although he wasn't sure if he was an Awakened, he was definitely a Transmigrator.
If someone was looking for a kindred spirit, it could only be these two. It couldn't possibly be an orphan looking for another orphan, right?
"I'm not sure," He Jun said. "At least, not for now. I can only cut off their prying eyes on you, but we are currently on the defensive. I believe they will come again soon. When that time comes, I will step in to solve your troubles."
He Li pursed his lips. What is a powerful figure? This is a powerful figure. He spoke the most domineering words in the most understated tone, without any pretense of showing off, but stating a fact, giving a sense of complete security.
He Jun glanced at He Li, nodded slightly, and then disappeared. The moment He Jun vanished, He Li felt the air become more breathable, that oppressive dominance gone.
He Li looked at Xiao Yue and asked, "Are you guys that afraid of He Jun?"
Xiao Yue shook his head and said with a wry smile, "What do you mean 'we'? Aren't you afraid too?"
He Li awkwardly touched his nose. "Let's change the subject. What are your abilities? Before, I was just arguing with you guys, and it turned into me being crazy. Can you tell me now?"
Xiao Yue looked at He Li's expectant eyes and asked with a smile, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes, yes, I'm very curious." He Li was like a curious baby, his eyes wide with anticipation as he looked at Xiao Yue.
"I'm not telling you." After saying that, Xiao Yue disappeared.
"Heh heh... Damn it!"
He Li lay back down on the long sofa. Sleep!
