500: Promise, I hit the jackpot (monthly ticket requested! Two in one)

"Chengfeng, I have a way to give you power!" Lin Yang said softly.

Shang Chengfeng immediately looked expectant and murmured, "Your Excellency, is that... is that true?"

Zhang Bu, who was beside him, instantly showed an incredulous and shocked expression, suddenly stood up, and exclaimed, "Your Excellency Lin Yang, you..."

"Shh!" Lin Yang interrupted Zhang Bu, raised a hand to signal him to calm down and not speak, then ignored Zhang Bu and continued to speak to Shang Chengfeng:

"Chengfeng, if you promise me to keep this a secret and not tell anyone, I can gradually give you the power to protect yourself and your sister. Can you do that?"

"Ah? Not even my sister, father, or Ma Bo?" Shang Chengfeng hesitated.

"No!" Lin Yang replied with unwavering resolve: "You cannot tell anyone!"

"If you can do it, I will help you gain power. If you can't, then forget it."

"I..." Shang Chengfeng immediately fell into a dilemma.

His current intelligence level was not enough for him to make such a difficult decision instantly.

His sister, father, and Ma Bo were the most important people in his heart.

Now Lin Yang wanted him to keep secrets from them too, which was a very difficult choice for the current Shang Chengfeng.

However, Lin Yang was not in a hurry; he just waited quietly.

He believed that Shang Chengfeng would agree to his request.

Zhang Bu, on the other hand, looked like he wanted to speak but held back, opening his mouth many times, but ultimately not daring to speak easily at such a moment.

He didn't know what Lin Yang's words truly meant.

But he had a vague, bold guess in his heart.

Perhaps this mysterious Your Excellency Lin Yang could cure his young master?

Therefore, he dared not speak rashly, fearing he might displease Lin Yang.

His heart was now filled with anticipation, anxiety, and deep tension.

Shang Chengfeng hesitated for a long while by himself, then turned his gaze to Zhang Bu, about to ask him.

Zhang Bu was also the most trustworthy person to him, besides his sister, father, and Ma Bo.

But before he could speak, Lin Yang's serious voice rang out: "Don't ask anyone; you must decide this matter yourself!"

Shang Chengfeng was startled, showed a bit of grievance, and then buried his head in his dilemma again.

Lin Yang still waited quietly.

Shang Chengfeng possessed an extremely pure soul. Although he still had the mind and intelligence of a child, when it came to serious matters, if he made up his mind himself, he would definitely keep the secret.

Of course, the matter of treating Shang Chengfeng would ultimately be impossible to hide from the Shang family.

But before that, it was best to keep it a secret for now.

Firstly, he didn't have 100% certainty that he could fully restore Shang Chengfeng.

Secondly, treating Shang Chengfeng would certainly arouse much curiosity.

Keeping it a secret for now would also allow him to improve his strength during this period.

It would take a considerable amount of time to cure Shang Chengfeng.

Within that time, Lin Yang was confident he could elevate his strength to another level.

Yu Ancestor had given him a lot of universal spiritual material.

Previously, due to his possible inexplicable injuries and the absorption of ordinary spiritual material, his recovery time was longer.

But in the few months from Gu Yin Star to Qianpan Star, he had fully recovered and even made some progress.

Now, most of what he had left were medium-quality and some high-quality spiritual materials.

If he absorbed all of it, his strength could at least increase by another level!

Moreover, the spiritual power of Qianpan Star was not sparse, and there were no other Spirit Realm powerhouses present.

He alone absorbing the spiritual power of the entire Qianpan Star was enough to rapidly increase his strength.

He could even absorb from nearby planets, as long as there were no Spirit Realm existences.

This was much more convenient than in the Ten Thousand Universes.

In the Ten Thousand Universes, perhaps due to the large number of Spirit Realm powerhouses or some other reason, the spiritual power within each planet was extremely sparse.

Even massive absorption would make it difficult to rapidly increase strength.

It would also easily attract the attention of Spirit Realm powerhouses.

But here, such troubles basically did not exist.

Therefore, Lin Yang decided not to tell the rest of the Shang family that he could cure Shang Chengfeng for the time being.

By the time Shang Chengfeng was cured, his own strength would have increased significantly, or even more, compared to now. At that point, even if it was exposed, it wouldn't matter.

Besides, although Shang Chengfeng's mental condition was difficult to treat, it was basically only known to the people of Qianpan Star, serving as gossip after meals.

At that time, it would most likely only cause a wave of attention and discussion on Qianpan Star.

It might not even reach the ears of the true Old Monster-level powerhouses here.

Keeping it secret for now was just a more cautious approach.

As for Zhang Bu?

Lin Yang was also 100% certain that once Zhang Bu knew he could cure Shang Chengfeng, he would definitely keep this secret.

Moreover, the reason he spoke about this in front of Zhang Bu was because the treatment of Shang Chengfeng also required Zhang Bu's help to a certain extent.

He needed Zhang Bu to provide cover, so that the Shang family and others would feel at ease allowing Shang Chengfeng to stay with him every day for play and treatment.

Because the initial treatment would be almost daily, the other members of the Shang family would certainly not feel comfortable letting Shang Chengfeng stay here alone for a long time every day.

With Zhang Bu closely accompanying Shang Chengfeng at all times, Shang Qingluo and others would feel at ease.

And indeed, it was so.

While Shang Chengfeng was still hesitating, Lin Yang looked at Zhang Bu, and in the latter's nervous, expectant, and even subtly excited gaze, he said indifferently:

"Your Excellency Zhang Bu, I believe you have already guessed. Yes, I am confident in treating Shang Chengfeng's mental issues, and I can also make him a warrior."

"But for certain reasons, I cannot let too many people know about this for now, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"So, I hope Your Excellency Zhang Bu can also keep this secret for the time being. Can you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bu trembled with excitement: "Your Excellency Lin Yang, you... no, can you truly cure my young master Chengfeng?"

He immediately switched to honorifics when addressing Lin Yang.

Lin Yang nodded: "I dare not say 100%, but at least over 90% confidence."

"Nin... ninety percent?!" Zhang Bu was greatly astonished!

Such a high success rate, in his mind, was already a 100% chance!

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, please rest assured, I will absolutely keep it a secret. Without your permission, I will not reveal a single word, not even to my young lady or my master!"

The next instant, Zhang Bu bowed deeply to Lin Yang, filled with excitement and exhilaration.

"Hehe, aren't you worried that I might harm Shang Chengfeng?" Lin Yang smiled.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, I'm not worried!" Zhang Bu immediately shook his head and said earnestly:

"You have no past grievances or recent animosity with us; there's no reason for you to harm my young master."

"Furthermore, given my young master's current condition, as long as there is a glimmer of hope for treatment, let alone me, even if you were to tell my young lady and family head directly right now, I believe they would also agree to let you treat him!"

Lin Yang's smile deepened: "You've considered it quite comprehensively. However, I haven't even started treatment yet. If anyone claims to be confident in treating Shang Chengfeng, would you let everyone try? What if someone among them intentionally uses this opportunity to harm him?"

"That would naturally not happen!" Zhang Bu immediately shook his head. "But Your Excellency Lin Yang, you are different. To be frank, the fact that you survived in space without a spacesuit, injured and unconscious but not suffocating, is enough to warrant us taking the risk to let you try!"

"Oh? So, your young lady and Ma Bo and others were wary of me before for this reason?" Lin Yang raised an eyebrow.

"This..." Zhang Bu paused, then nodded silently: "Yes, there are indeed people who can survive in space without a spacesuit. I've heard that Super-Order Extraordinary Warrior and even high-rank Extraordinary Warrior can survive in space for a period without a spacesuit."

"But to be exposed in space, injured and unconscious, yet not suffocate, is somewhat unheard of."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yang: "No matter how you did it, it proves your uniqueness. So, as I just said, even if you directly approached the young lady and family head, they would still risk letting you try."

"Oh... then please, Your Excellency Zhang Bu, ensure confidentiality." Lin Yang said no more upon hearing this.

"Rest assured!" Zhang Bu vowed.

At this moment.

Shang Chengfeng also made his choice. He looked up at Lin Yang and said earnestly:

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, Chengfeng has thought it through. Chengfeng wants to have the power to protect his sister, father, and Ma Bo. Please rest assured, Chengfeng will absolutely not tell anyone without your permission, including my sister, father, and Ma Bo."

Lin Yang showed a slight smile: "Very good, Chengfeng. From now on, this will be our secret. You must keep it. If I find out you haven't kept the secret, I will leave immediately and no longer teach you how to gain power!"

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, rest assured! Chengfeng will definitely listen!" Shang Chengfeng said with utmost seriousness, then extended his right pinky finger and said:

"We can pinky swear; this is a pact."

"Alright, pinky swear, the pact is effective!" Lin Yang saw the pinky swear and suddenly had a momentary trance. He hadn't expected that the concept of pinky swearing as a pact also existed and was common here.

Then, he also extended his pinky finger and pinky swore with Shang Chengfeng.

"Chengfeng, starting today, you must come to my place every day. Now, I will begin the first treatment. It might be a little uncomfortable, but you must endure it."

After the pact, Lin Yang didn't waste time. He immediately took out a spiritual will-type extraordinary material glowing with a milky white light. Driven by spiritual power, it was slowly integrated into Shang Chengfeng's body purely as a nutrient.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Bu's eyes suddenly widened in an instant, looking at the extraordinary material in Lin Yang's hand with shock and awe, and he couldn't help but murmur instinctively:

"This, this is extraordinary... Ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Bu trembled again, reacted, and immediately covered his mouth with his hand, fearing he might disturb Lin Yang's treatment.

His eyes were filled with shock and even horror!

Your Excellency Lin Yang was actually using extraordinary material to treat his young master?!

Zhang Bu was utterly astonished.

Extraordinary material!

That was extraordinary material!

In the Ten Thousand Realms Universe, extraordinary material was very rare and precious.

It could turn a Gene Warrior into an Extraordinary Warrior!

Any extraordinary material was incredibly valuable, with immense worth.

To say it without exaggeration, it would be difficult for the Shang family to obtain even one extraordinary material.

All of the Shang family's assets combined would not be enough to exchange for one extraordinary material.

Not even an ordinary quality one!

Extraordinary material could not be bought with ordinary money. Only those who made great contributions to the Empire and the War Alliance, as well as some warriors of the War Alliance, had the opportunity to be bestowed with it.

The Shang family was merely an insignificant ordinary family on an ordinary planet in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe.

Families like the Shang family were as numerous as the stars.

They had no background and no powerful connections.

Obtaining some Gene Potion was their limit.

Extraordinary material was beyond their imagination.

Only Shang Qingluo, by a stroke of luck, had obtained an extraordinary material.

This news was known only to a very few individuals in the Shang family and was kept absolutely secret!

If it got out, it would lead to the destruction of their clan!

He was also one of those few people.

So he recognized the extraordinary material at a glance.

However, Lin Yang actually used such a precious item to treat Shang Chengfeng's injuries!!!

This gave Zhang Bu an unprecedented huge shock!

His mind trembled, and his ears buzzed.

He felt his head was congested with blood.

Using extraordinary material for healing, he couldn't even imagine it!

This was beyond what luxury could describe!

It completely exceeded his understanding.

Whoosh!

Lin Yang completely integrated an entire spiritual will-type extraordinary material into Shang Chengfeng's body, then used spiritual power to help him absorb it.

If extraordinary material was absorbed purely as a nutrient without integrating its extraordinary characteristics, it did not have high requirements for physical fitness.

Unlike becoming an Extraordinary Warrior, which required first reaching the physical fitness of a Super Gene Warrior.

Of course, it was mainly because Lin Yang was a Spirit Realm powerhouse and also had the help of the system, allowing him to strip away its extraordinary characteristics.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to absorb extraordinary material purely as a nutrient.

This method was not something other Spirit Realm powerhouses could achieve.

Otherwise, spiritual will-type extraordinary material would have long been absorbed by various Spirit Realm powerhouses themselves to strengthen their souls.

Lin Yang noticed Zhang Bu's expression but said nothing.

From the information the system had previously infiltrated from the main computer, he knew that the extraordinary material here was rarer and more precious than in the Ten Thousand Universes.

Zhang Bu's shock was inevitable.

Even Zhang Bu being able to recognize extraordinary material was already quite knowledgeable.

After all, even in the Ten Thousand Universes, people from ordinary civilizations within ordinary universes had no chance to see or obtain extraordinary material.

Here, it was even more out of the question.

Soon.

With Lin Yang's help, Shang Chengfeng absorbed the first extraordinary material.

"Alright, Zhang Bu, you can take Chengfeng back for now. He will probably need to sleep for a few more hours. Come back tomorrow morning for continued treatment."

Lin Yang stood up and said indifferently to Zhang Bu.

"Yes, Your Excellency Lin Yang!" Zhang Bu shivered all over, bowed deeply to Lin Yang, and then carefully helped the drowsy Shang Chengfeng out of the room.

In his heart, there was no longer any doubt about whether Lin Yang could treat Shang Chengfeng.

What remained was only endless excitement and exhilaration.

They had struck it rich!

"Young Master Chengfeng has struck it rich!"

"The family has also struck it rich!"

Zhang Bu's heart trembled with excitement.

Even extraordinary material could be casually used to treat Shang Chengfeng.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to imagine Lin Yang's true origin or identity!

Only the thought of having struck it rich remained in his mind!
