353: Can humans be used for optimization?

The wild man who had been observing the two from the corner rushed out at this moment, trotting obediently behind Chen Heng.

He didn't know why, but ever since Chen Heng brought the wild man out from the world-suppressing nail, he had become particularly docile.

He didn't even say a word, just followed behind Chen Heng.

"Oh, I completely forgot about you. Let's go drink together!" Chen Heng was in a great mood now and clapped the wild man on the shoulder, saying.

The wild man didn't understand what Chen Heng was saying, but he still nodded and followed.

"You two, don't just stand there foolishly; come over and drink with me!"

Chen Heng shouted to Bai Jun and Luo Shuo, and the two quickly followed... This drinking session lasted from the afternoon until the early hours of the next morning before they finally broke up.

Including the wild man, everyone, under the influence of the Wu Family's special alcoholic beverages, went to sleep in a drunken stupor.

Wu Lei found a random room in the Wu Wang Courtyard and settled in, while Chen Heng stayed in the main house.

All the guards of the entire Wu Wang Courtyard had been sent away, and there was no sound except for snoring.

Just as everyone was sleeping soundly, two small figures, no bigger than a finger, appeared outside the Wu Wang Courtyard.

"How about it? I told you that Senior is stronger than our Family Head, didn't I?"

The newcomers were precisely the brother and sister from that morning. They thought they were being very discreet as they lay on the courtyard wall, looking into the courtyard.

"But... will such a powerful Senior accept us two as disciples?"

The little girl hesitated a bit, but she didn't want to give up such an excellent opportunity.

The two of them couldn't even be considered illegitimate children; to put it harshly, they were the product of a night of pleasure.

Naturally, they were not liked in the Wu Family and belonged to the category of human punching bags.

"But, this is our only chance..." The boy's expression also dimmed.

The brother and sister had no Master at all, and no one taught them how to practice martial arts.

If things continued like this, they would not only lose the opportunity to make a name for themselves but also be unable to allow their mother to officially enter the Wu Family.

"Then let's try?" The girl was still a bit hesitant, but her gaze had already become firm.

"Let's go."

The two little ones climbed over the wall into the courtyard and began stealthily searching for Chen Heng's bedroom.

Before long, the two stopped in front of Chen Heng's bedroom.

Wu Ming, bringing Wu Yue, knelt just like that at Chen Heng's doorstep, waiting for Chen Heng to appear... Time passed minute by minute, and the sky quickly brightened.

After three crowing roosters, the brother and sister still hadn't seen Chen Heng appear, and the entire Wu Wang Courtyard remained silent.

There was no sound except for Wu Lei's snoring.

"Brother, my knees hurt so much..." Wu Yue's voice trembled slightly. At her age, kneeling for such a long time had pushed her to her limit.

"Is it really useful for us to kneel like this?"

"It must be. Such a powerful person wouldn't fail to sense our Qi. He must be testing our perseverance and sincerity."

Wu Ming nodded vigorously, unwavering in his belief.

But what they didn't know was that once Chen Heng fell into a deep sleep, even a knife wouldn't be enough to wake him up.

So he had no idea that two little ones were kneeling at his door.

"Hold on, absolutely do not miss this opportunity!"

"Mm!"

The two little ones encouraged each other like this, kneeling at Chen Heng's door, waiting for Chen Heng to appear... The sun was high in the sky, shining into the small courtyard, but the cold wind was still biting.

Chen Heng, still groggy from sleep, sat up in bed, looking around with a bewildered expression.

"Ah... I'm in the Imperial Capital of the Chengtian Empire."

He casually ran a hand through his hair, and it automatically tied itself into a ponytail.

Chen Heng could now freely control every part of his body, naturally including his hair.

Stretching, Chen Heng, refreshed, pushed open the main door.

He had important business today; he had to go to the Research Institute to see what those records contained.

Perhaps there would be some very important information.

Also, the wild man and he were getting quite familiar, and it seemed his intelligence wasn't low, so with some effort, communication should be possible.

"Senior, please accept me as your disciple!"

Chen Heng was still lost in thought when two childish voices exploded in his ears.

"Hm?" Chen Heng looked at the two little ones kneeling on the ground, his facial features twisted in confusion.

What was going on?

Seeing that Chen Heng hadn't spoken, the brother and sister exchanged glances and heavily kowtowed three times.

"No, you two get up first." Chen Heng lifted the two little ones from the ground and placed them on a stone bench.

"What made you think of coming to take me as your Master?"

"Do you know how old I am?"

"We don't know, but you are very powerful, even more powerful than the Family Head. We, brother and sister, want to become strong!"

Wu Ming shook his head, then looked at Chen Heng with bright, sparkling eyes.

"..." Chen Heng didn't speak but looked at the bone structure of the two little ones in front of him.

Their bone Aptitude was very ordinary, even somewhat poor... But none of this was a problem for Chen Heng, as he saw two clear 'Optimization' signs above the heads of these two little ones.

"What's going on? How can I suddenly Optimize people?"

Chen Heng opened the System panel and asked.

The System replied, "[The Wu siblings have acknowledged the Host as their Master. They are naturally your possessions. Anything that is your possession can be Optimized.]"

"?"

"When did I agree to that?"

"[After they kowtowed.]"

"..."

Chen Heng's expression became strange. This feeling of treating people as possessions was something Chen Heng was experiencing for the first time.

But it wasn't impossible; he wanted to try how the Optimization of people worked.

Although he himself could also be Optimized, he always felt that it was different from the Optimization method for the brother and sister in front of him.

In any case, it would only benefit these two little ones, not harm them.

"Alright, then I will accept you two." Chen Heng nodded, signifying his acceptance of the two little ones.

At the same time, Wu Lei, wrapped entirely in bandages, also walked out.

As soon as he came out, he heard Chen Heng say he would accept Wu Ming and Wu Yue as his disciples.

"Really? Little Brother Chen, you're taking disciples?" Wu Lei's eyes lit up; this was a great thing.

"Yes, but I'm only taking these two little ones." Chen Heng stroked Wu Ming and Wu Yue's small heads.

"Tsk, what a pity. I was thinking of taking you as my Master." Wu Lei shook his head with some disappointment and swayed off to the Wu Family's medical hall to change his bandages.

"Oh, right, you two little rascals are truly top-tier lucky. The chance to take Little Brother Chen as your Master is incredibly rare."

"And he is much stronger than I am. Having such a Master, you two should be secretly overjoyed."

Just as he walked out of the courtyard gate, Wu Lei turned back and said to Wu Ming and Wu Yue.
