148: Double Experience Card

Wu Zijin walked over to Xu Bai with a smile, patting Xu Bai on the shoulder.

“Not bad, Xiaobai, no, I should call you Brother Bai. I didn’t expect Mr. Number Two to come to our place, which means he thinks highly of us.”

Liu Mengyun’s cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xu Bai.

“Team Leader Bai, you are amazing.”

“Haha, I also didn’t expect Mr. Number Two to visit our research institute. Next, we must work hard to ensure that every Mr. Number Two visits our research institute.”

“Okay.”

Everyone responded in agreement… The people in the research institute explored their new laboratory, which contained many machines Xu Bai had never seen before.

So, the other three explained them to Xu Bai.

Wu Zijin: “This is the laboratory version of the cards duplication machine. The difference from the commercial version is that the laboratory version has higher precision and a stronger resemblance to the original cards.”

Xu Bai nodded. For the commercial version, it was enough for the duplicated cards to be usable, while the laboratory version required precision.

Liu Mengyan: “This is a calcining machine. The temperature inside can reach very high levels, which can effectively remove impurities and moisture, promote changes in material structure and properties, and also improve the purity and stability of materials. It is very useful for us who research materials.”

Xu Bai looked at it and indeed, it was better than the one he had designed before, and it was less likely to burn the table.

“What is this?”

Wu Zijin: “This is a machine that speeds up mental power recovery. We all call it the ‘Divine Machine’.”

“Why speed up mental power recovery?”

Wu Zijin was stumped by Xu Bai’s question.

“I didn’t expect you to ask this question. Is your mental power always enough for every research session?”

Xu Bai nodded with a confused expression.

“It’s enough.”

“Have you never experienced a situation where your mental power wasn’t enough halfway through your research?”

Xu Bai still shook his head.

At this moment, Liu Mengyun and Liu Mengyan also looked at Xu Bai with surprised eyes, along with Wu Zijin.

Seeing their gazes, Xu Bai explained again.

“Perhaps it’s because I spend very little time on research, so I don’t feel that way.”

“Do you want to test your mental power?”

Wu Zijin didn’t quite believe Xu Bai’s explanation and suggested.

“Yes, yes, Team Leader Bai, when was the last time you tested your mental power? Why don’t we test it now?”

Liu Mengyun also leaned forward, encouraging Xu Bai to take a mental power test.

Actually, they just felt that they couldn’t compare to Xu Bai in cards innovation, so maybe they could surpass Xu Bai in mental power.

Although this was just a psychological comfort.

Xu Bai didn’t mind. In his impression, the original owner’s last test was two years ago when he was still in the academy. At that time, his mental power level was B-rank. He was also curious if it would change, so he reluctantly entered the adjacent testing room.

Xu Bai performed the mental power test according to the operations he remembered.

Outside, Wu Zijin, Liu Mengyun, and Liu Mengyan all gathered at the door to watch.

They saw the value representing mental power soar all the way from F-rank to S-rank, but it didn’t stop there. It slowly climbed upwards until it reached slightly above SS-rank before stopping.

The three were dumbfounded.

No, wasn’t Xu Bai said to have an ordinary mental power level?

What’s going on?

Is the machine malfunctioning?

How did his mental power level become SS+ rank?!

After Xu Bai came out, Wu Zijin also went in to test, and found that his result was still the original A+ rank.

Afterward, Liu Mengyun and Liu Mengyan also went in one by one to test, and their results were A+ rank and S-rank respectively.

This proved that the instrument was not faulty.

Liu Mengyun: “Team Leader Bai, what was your previous mental power level? Why did someone with an SS+ level mental power like you only emerge now, and why were you introduced to the Card Maker Guild by Wu Zijin?”

Liu Mengyan couldn’t help but speculate conspiratorially: “This is indeed a problem. Was your previous mental power test result replaced by someone else?”

“No, no, I was B-rank before. Perhaps some unexpected events happened in my family, causing my mental power to increase.”

Xu Bai certainly couldn’t say that he wasn’t the original owner, and that his mental power was different because his soul was different.

He could only attribute the increase in his mental power to his parents’ accident.

Hearing this, Wu Zijin nodded, “There is indeed such a saying that intense emotions can cause changes in mental power.”

Liu Mengyun: “Really? I also want to experience the ‘accident’ you mentioned.”

Xu Bai and Wu Zijin looked at Liu Mengyun with strange expressions.

You are truly a “dutiful daughter”.

Wu Zijin: “No, I don’t think you want to.”

Seeing their strange gazes, Liu Mengyan tugged at her sister’s clothes, telling her to shut up. An accident that causes great emotional fluctuations is either great sorrow or great joy. Looking at the situation, it must be great sorrow. It’s better not to rub salt in the wound.

Liu Mengyan: “I suddenly remembered something, Team Leader Bai, have you been in the Guild for three months yet?”

Xu Bai: “Not yet, it’s almost two months now.”

Hearing Xu Bai’s reply, even the usually calm Liu Mengyan couldn’t help but turn red with envy.

However, her envious gaze was not directed at Xu Bai, but at Wu Zijin.

Liu Mengyun spoke her sister’s thoughts aloud: “Less than three months, which means Wu Zijin also gets a reward for the results you achieve!”

After speaking, Liu Mengyun also looked at Wu Zijin with red, jealous eyes.

Although they envied Xu Bai for being able to research such amazing results, in their eyes, he achieved these results through his own hard work.

They envied Wu Zijin more for being able to win effortlessly and be carried by Xu Bai.

They could also invite people; why wasn’t it them who invited Xu Bai? If they had known, they would have also gone to scout and invite new people.

If they could do it all over again, they would engrave this matter into their minds.

Wu Zijin thought of the Guild points he had received and couldn’t help but gloat.

“No way, who told me to have good foresight and be quick on my feet, inviting Team Leader Bai to join the Guild.”

Liu Mengyun couldn’t stand him gloating so much and couldn’t help but pour cold water on him.

“Hmph, what’s so great about it? Your previous research has never been successful.”

Wu Zijin was not provoked by her at all and continued to speak.

“Oh, looking at Team Leader Bai’s research time, there might be some major results in the next month.”

In other words, Wu Zijin would be able to win twice: once for his research institute producing results, and once for inviting Xu Bai who produced results.

“Ah, I’m so jealous!”

Liu Mengyun went crazy and couldn’t help but punch Wu Zijin.

Why can some people be so lucky?

Wu Zijin didn’t argue with her; his heart was already filled with joy.

There was still a month to get double the reward.

In gaming terms, Wu Zijin used a double experience cards this month.

O(∩_∩)O Hahahahaha~
