Chapter 30: The Second Super Genius

In the following days, strange things began to happen one after another in various places in Daxia. Some incidents were quickly covered up by higher-ups, while others were too big to be concealed.

Everyone could feel that the world seemed to be undergoing some kind of change…

Unknowingly, it was already the weekend. Ye Xue and Ye Xuan, along with Su Mengli, returned to the Su family together.

It was Su Mengli’s first time visiting the Ye family. The Ye family lived in a detached villa. Although the location was average, the area was not small, and the decoration was quite classy. The entire villa was worth at least twenty million, quite luxurious.

Su Mengli also saw Ye Xuan’s parents.

Ye Xuan’s father, Ye Chengzong, appeared to be around fifty years old. He had a gentle and scholarly demeanor.

As for Ye Xuan’s mother, Lin Qiaozhu, she bore a resemblance to Ye Xue and exuded a calm and dignified aura.

Before coming, Ye Xue had already introduced Su Mengli to her parents.

As soon as they entered, Lin Qiaozhu said, “You must be Mengli, right? You’re so beautiful. Come in and have a seat!”

Ye Chengzong glanced at Ye Xuan and patted his son’s shoulder, saying, “You have good taste, kid!”

Ye Xuan smiled and replied, “Of course!”

Then, Lin Qiaozhu affectionately held Su Mengli’s hand and invited her inside. In the dining room, a large table of food had already been prepared, and Lin Qiaozhu immediately started asking about Su Mengli’s well-being.

Lin Qiaozhu had a skillful way of speaking, making Su Mengli feel very comfortable. She didn’t ask any questions that would make Su Mengli unhappy, but at the same time, she was able to quickly establish a closer relationship with her.

It had to be admitted that an older person, with age and experience far surpassing that of young people, had it easy when it came to building good relationships with young people. It just depended on whether the former had that intention.

Lin Qiaozhu clearly knew something from Ye Xue and treated Su Mengli extremely well.

Su Mengli felt that after just a few minutes of chatting, Lin Qiaozhu felt like a close aunt to her. Staying at the Ye family, she felt very comfortable and at ease.

At the same time, Ye Xuan spent his days accompanying Su Mengli to and from school, and also provided some crucial information to Wei Lan, allowing the Jiangcheng police to be prepared in advance to deal with abnormal incidents.

During the early stages of the rebirth of spiritual energy, most of the lower-class beasts that appeared were not very strong. It was just that their sudden appearance caused a large number of casualties. With prior preparation, dealing with them was not difficult.

Thanks to Ye Xuan’s help, Jiangcheng was able to handle these abnormal incidents with ease. Director Wei Lan received a lot of commendations.

Unknowingly, there were only two days left until the official announcement of the rebirth of spiritual energy. The number of days until the college entrance examination, written on the blackboard, had also changed to nine.

Compared to previous years, the students in this year’s senior class were quite restless. After all, they were not only facing the college entrance examination but also the occasional abnormal incidents that were reported on the internet. It would be strange if their moods could remain calm.

On this day, during lunchtime, Ye Xuan said, “Mengli, I’m going to Aunt Wei’s place for lunch. Do you want to come along?”

Su Mengli shook her head and replied, “No need, you go ahead.”

Ye Xuan had made significant contributions to the Jiangcheng police, and Wei Lan was very grateful. She had invited Ye Xuan to have a meal before, and this time she invited him again.

Su Mengli knew that Wei Lan was grateful to Ye Xuan, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to tag along and have a free meal. That’s why she didn’t go.

Ye Xuan nodded and then left.

At the school gate, a Volkswagen car was parked there, and Ye Xuan got in.

The one driving was Wei Lan, but there was also a young man in the car.

As soon as Ye Xuan got in the car, Wei Lan introduced, “Little Xuan, let me introduce you. This is my only son, Qin Heng! He’s also in his senior year, so you young people will have more common topics.”

Qin Heng reached out his hand to shake hands with Ye Xuan and said, “Hello, I’ve heard my mom talk about you. You’ve made great contributions to Jiangcheng. I’m glad to meet you!”

Ye Xuan looked at Qin Heng and was quite surprised. He didn’t expect that Wei Lan’s son would be him!

Qin Heng, the future S-class guardian of Jiangcheng, although his talent was not as good as Su Mengli’s, he could still be considered a genius.

Qin Heng’s superpower was quite cool. His talent was sword manipulation, and he could control anything that could be defined as a sword, even from a distance.

In the future, Qin Heng would develop many combat techniques using his ability, such as sword flying, thousands of swords attacking together, and merging thousands of swords into one.

As long as his imagination was strong enough and he had enough swords, his talent could unleash destructive power close to that of an SS-class esper.

In the future, Qin Heng would be even more flamboyant than he was now, making himself look very cool. Wherever he went, he would have a flying sword under his feet and swords swirling around him.

He was like the entrance of Magneto in the movies. His female fans were almost as numerous as Su Mengli’s male fans.

Although Qin Heng was flamboyant, he was upright and would fight to the death against the spirit beasts. Two years before the Battle for magic city, Qin Heng fought against a group of sudden invading mutated beasts, outnumbered but not retreating.

He used all the swords he could use and even comprehended a certain truth when he didn’t even have an iron sword by his side.

Qin Heng used his divine sword, turning himself into a sword and shot himself out, perishing together with a powerful SS-class awakened mutated beast, the Purgatory Demon Snake. He died as he wished.

Ye Xuan admired these heroes. He reached out his hand and said, “I’m glad to meet you too!”

In the instant Ye Xuan and Qin Heng shook hands, a prompt sounded in Ye Xuan’s mind: “Congratulations, host, for meeting the second super genius. The current favorability is 35, and you can perform a system lottery.”

Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this system prompt. He wasn’t surprised that he had bound the second genius, but why wasn’t it a direct increase in talent, but a lottery?

He asked the system in his mind, and the system quickly gave an answer: “For the first bound genius, every time the favorability increases by 20 points, you can enhance your own talent once. For subsequent bound geniuses, every time the favorability increases by 20 points, you can perform a lottery.”

Ye Xuan found the system’s answer reasonable. After all, the higher the favorability, the harder it was to increase.

If he casually bound ten or eight S-class or above geniuses and raised their favorability to over thirty, Ye Xuan’s talent could be enhanced ten or eight times. That would be too abnormal.

Ten or eight times would probably raise Ye Xuan’s talent to the level of five S-class or even eight S-class…

This system setting also prevented Ye Xuan from cheating. If he wanted to enhance his talent, he just needed to cling to Su Mengli’s thigh honestly.

As for other geniuses, it was certainly not a bad thing to make friends with them, but compared to Su Mengli, there was no comparison.
