Chapter 143. Teleportation

     Ling Xiao’s IQ was definitely not eaten by Bandits, but it had become a mess, and he could only think in a straight line. He blurted out: “Sister, are you also a zombie?”

     The whole world is full of zombies except them?

     The less you understand, the easier it is to fantasize. In the past few days, he and his roommate’s fantasies have gone beyond the Milky Way.

     “I was wrong. Your brain may even be disliked by Bandits.” Ye Mo changed her words.

    The bandit cooperated very well and barked, as if to say that the recent performance may prove that Bandit seems to have become intelligent and can even join the survivors.

     Of course, he can only join as a cannon fodder.

     Ye Mo looked around with her mental power, spread her palm, and suddenly a black metal solid ball with a diameter of 10 cm appeared in her hand. Then, she pinched the solid ball left and right like kneading plasticine, and soon it became a standard cube again.

     Ling Xiao saw the solid ball appear out of thin air with his own eyes, and his mouth was open enough to fit a ping-pong ball in it, looking a little silly.

     Magic?

     When Ye Mo handed the solid ball of ‘plasticine’ to Ling Xiao, he reached out to take it.

     The result was embarrassing.

     He didn’t pick it up.

     This was not special plasticine at all. He was very sure that it was a hard and dense metal, and his sister could easily poke a hole in it with just her little finger.

     Ling Xiao struggled for a long time and asked again: “Sister, what about this ball?”

     “A new material that cannot be shown to people for the time being.”

     The solid ball suddenly disappeared into thin air, followed by the appearance of more solid balls, as well as colorful gems, gem-encrusted swords, and a roasted suckling pig… Uh, it seems like some random stuff got mixed in.

     Ye Mo continued: “As you can see, storage space.”

     “!!!” Ling Xiao’s brain went offline. He pointed to the place where the objects had disappeared, then looked at Ye Mo, then pointed again…after repeating this several times, he finally found his voice, still repeating the four words Ye Mo had said, “Storage space?”

     It can be seen that his shock was no less than when he saw the zombies. On weekdays, he and his roommates also made various unreliable speculations, but seeing something that destroyed their worldviews with their own eyes was quite different.

     Ye Mo: “Yes, storage space.”

     Ling Xiao said “wow” three times in a row, and slapped his forehead: “Then Wudang Sect, Kunlun Sect, Huashan Sect, they are not immortal sects? We have entered the era of universal immortal cultivation. Zombies are demons, immortals and demons are fighting. Which gang do I belong to?”

     “Polaris has always been relatively stable in its position, not prone to change, but recently it’s been showing periodic oscillations relative to Earth’s rotational axis, and its brightness is also problematic…could it be the interstellar cultivation era? Are there really aliens? Did the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother go to an alien planet? Oh my god, can you really cultivate immortality…”

     Ye Mo looked at Ling Xiao’s head for a full 5 seconds, and was very sure that his sadness and fear had all disappeared, and stopped him from acting like a hyperactive child in kindergarten.

     “Be quiet, keep your voice down.”

     Ling Xiao obediently made a zipping-his-lips gesture. If his other hand hadn’t been injured, he might have folded his hands behind his back like an elementary school student, his chuunibyou spirit returning.

     “There are indeed very big changes in the world, no less than the Renaissance from the 14th to the 16th century. This started in December last year, but it is not as far-fetched as your wild thoughts. You can simply attribute it to the revival of spiritual energy.”

     “It started in the afternoon of December 21, 2019 last year…”

     Ye Mo still had relatively high confidence in Ling Xiao’s intelligence and character. She focused on explaining to him the Survivor app, the life-and-death competition of the Doomsday Supermarket, the perilous nature of the instance dungeons, the real-world death incidents, and the spiritual energy revival’s five elements rules.

     She explained these things step by step, observing his reactions.

     When talking about the nine out of ten deaths, her idea of sending Bandits to the Ling family, and the number of deaths of national team agents, Ling Xiao’s mind calmed down a lot. His worry about Ye Mo was far greater than the surprise of the spiritual energy revival, and his worries about his parents.

     Ye Mo said: “The 404 you see on the Internet is basically related to this unknown app.”

     Ling Xiao understood what his sister meant, and nodded very carefully under his sister’s gaze.

     Ye Mo took out the method of the Houma Alliance Book in the Spring and Autumn Period, a jade slip with the words “Survivor” written on it in blood, and asked Ling Xiao to drip blood on it. No matter what the reason was, he had to notify her before joining the Survivor app.

     “The survivor copies are getting more and more dangerous, and the mortality rate is getting higher and higher. If you are really curious about this, when you can beat me, I will not stop you from doing anything. You have to know that we don’t know what will happen in the era of spiritual energy revival, but the future of Uncle Ling and Aunt Zhang, and even their lives, really depend on you.”

    Ling Xiao was quite confident in himself and answered very readily: “Okay!”

     The conversation continued.

     “Sister, are there future copies?”

     “All the known ones are past copies.”

     Ling Xiao has a lot of questions, and even Ye Mo may not be able to answer them 100%.

     For example, regarding astronomy, this is also the reason why she asked him to join a certain sect. Ling Xiao’s talent is better cultivated by a special institution. In the future, he can have the help of the sect in public and her help in secret, and get two kinds of help and training.

     Because Ling Xiao’s imagination was truly too vast, in terms of technology—no, in terms of science fiction—things like energy weapons, high-pressure stun shockwave systems, laser devices, electromagnetic pulse runners, memory erasers…Ye Mo got a lot of inspiration.

     She felt like she really didn’t have enough experimental points, and there were so many things she still couldn’t combine technology and spiritual energy to research.

     When lunchtime arrived, both of them really felt a bit like they hadn’t had enough. Before leaving the courtyard, Ye Mo tossed a sentence to Ling Xiao: “Oh, by the way, don’t sleep naked tonight.”

     “…”

     Ling Xiao muttered: “Sister, you are too direct, and who will sleep naked at night! At least wear a pair of pants!”

     Ye Mo: “Heh.”

     …

     Uncle Ling was still in charge of lunch.

     Summer is here, no more mutton pot and beef pot, all of which are dishes that clear heat and reduce fire, nourish and replenish deficiency. It seems that Grandma Ye’s health-preserving medicinal diet has spread from the Ye family to the Ling family.

     She was very glad that the twins weren’t around today, otherwise, her conversation with Ling Xiao this morning wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

     Even before sitting down at the table, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Ling Xiao’s entire demeanor had changed after talking with his sister. As he rushed into the kitchen, getting chopsticks, bowls, and serving dishes, he even apologized to his father.

     His sister was right, he could have handled things more perfectly, but he’d been affected by his emotions, and had unconsciously spread those emotions to his parents.

     Not putting himself in their shoes was his mistake.

     In addition to this, his sister actually praised him. In such an environment where he had things he couldn’t say, his sense of security dropped to negative, he had nightmares every day, and even in the isolation behind, he could persist until now and didn’t forget his relatives. It was really not easy.

     He’s grown up.

     To be able to become a pillar of support for his parents.

     Although he knew his sister’s words probably had an element of persuasion, Ling Xiao was still very happy.

     After lunch, Ling Xiao once again proactively apologized to his parents first, and then explained his situation, such as his advisor’s high regard, the guaranteed postgraduate spot, the future of the martial arts sect…and so on.

     Ye Mo told him that if he took leave for something else, his guaranteed postgraduate spot might be lost, but if he took leave for this, no matter what he told the sect, it would be a solid guarantee

     Ling Jianguo doubted: “Really?”

     Ling Xiao nodded decisively, “Really, Dad. Next Monday, you can come with me to the school’s academic affairs office to finalize this matter. You can also directly communicate with our teachers and the sect’s representatives.”

     Ling Jianguo and his wife may not know anything, but each sect will not miss a pure Yang disciple. It is best to leave the problem of persuading parents to them.

     Ling Jianguo and his wife are very pleased that their son is so outstanding, they are a little sad and helpless about their son’s persistent pursuit of the future… In the end, they reluctantly agreed to go to the school first.

     Ling Xiao was very excited, and he confessed to everyone present at the dinner table very loudly: “Dad, I love you, Mom, I love you, Sister, I love you, and Grandma, I love you the most.”

     Ling Jianguo and Zhang Lan were very disgusted, but it can be seen that their eyes are full of happiness.

     Ye Mo: “…”

     Young people!

     Grandma Ye especially liked to see this kind of harmonious family scene. Influenced by the joyful atmosphere, she couldn’t help but eat an extra bowl of rice at noon, and her eyes were always smiling.

     …

     Naturally, they rested in the courtyard house that night.

     After washing up, Ling Xiao returned to his room early. He couldn’t bring himself to play on his computer or phone. After waiting for a long time and his sister still didn’t come, he boredly scrolled through the news, but couldn’t focus on the content.

     He couldn’t even get into science fiction movies or novels, and the music he listened to only made him feel more restless.

     Every second felt like an eternity.

     It wasn’t until 10 pm that Ye Mo finally came to his room, accompanied by her big black dog.”

     “Sister, by the way, I forgot to ask, Bandit is too smart, he can’t be–“

     “Become a spirit.” Affirmative sentence.

    “Fuck.” Ling Xiao immediately squatted down and looked at Bandit, and asked stupidly, “Bandit, do you know that it is not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the country? Can you speak? You…”

     A series of questions made Bandit a little irritable, but his guardian had asked him not to shout before, so as not to wake up Uncle Ling and his wife who were separated by a corridor, so he could only roll his eyes like Hawkeye.

     While they were communicating, Ye Mo took out the basic array plate and space crystal core, and prepared to build a space node in Ling Xiao’s study. Yes, he also had a study that was already used as a warehouse.

     Half an hour later, Ling Xiao finally confirmed that Bandit could only understand his words, had about the same intelligence as a normal teenager, couldn’t transform, and couldn’t engage in conversation.

     His expectations were too high, leading to a little disappointment.

    But when Ye Mo handed him the space key, this little disappointment disappeared instantly.

     “Sister, this is——”

     “Teleportations.”

     “!!!”

     Ye Mo asked Bandit to take one too. The three of them first went to the circle of the space node. The methods to activate the space key included incantations, blood drops, mental power, etc. Ling Xiao and Bandit used blood drops.

     Ling Xiao was given the task of adjusting the distance and position of the space node. There was also a combination lock inside to prevent others from using it, which was created by Ye Mo, not the dwarves.

     The moment the blood touched the space key, the person and the dog instantly disappeared from Majing Hutong in Beijing and appeared in the guest room of Ye Mo’s small Western-style house in Hebei Province.

     The guest room curtains were drawn, and the lights were off, making it pitch black.

     If it weren’t for Bandit, Ling Xiao would be more nervous. Fortunately, there were barking creatures to accompany him. This feeling of suddenly arriving in a new place was really wonderful and a bit scary.

     Ye Mo arrived later and turned on the lights.
