7: The so-called surprise, 'rare goods' are worth keeping!
The next morning.
Yang Dian, who was used to sleeping and waking late after the holiday, got up early.
Firstly, he was curious about the surprise Shi Sheng mentioned.
Secondly, it was because of the Heaven and Man Unity Skill.
'By my calculations, the Heaven and Man Unity Skill should have been delivered to the Public Security Bureau by now.'
'I wonder how much energy it will take to learn it, and even to generate the first attribute.'
With a hint of anticipation, Yang Dian washed up and pushed open his door.
Then he saw his Second Uncle, the landlord, sitting on a small stool in the hallway, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated after Yang Dian came out.
"Second Uncle, getting up so early? Have you eaten yet?"
Looking at Yang Dian, who wore a polite smile.
Second Uncle stood up, opened his mouth, glanced at the kicked-in door behind Yang Dian, and sighed regretfully:
"Little Yang, was your place raided by the Policeman for prostitution last night?"
"It caused such a commotion, it almost scared my cerebral infarction into recurring."
Yang Dian's smile froze.
Before he could argue, he noticed his neighbors on both sides had all pulled open their doors a crack.
'It's early morning, and they're not going to work, just waiting to watch this show.'
While grumbling inwardly, Yang Dian spread his hands helplessly:
"Second Uncle, last night was an accident."
"If I really were a 'seven-star ladybug' (a euphemism for a prostitute), would I still be able to come out of my room this morning?"
"I would have been caught and taken to the Public Security Bureau long ago."
Hearing Yang Dian say this, Second Uncle's worries subsided.
In his impression, Yang Dian was a good child.
It would be too regrettable if he were truly arrested for not being able to control himself.
After breathing a sigh of relief, he asked with some hesitation:
"Then what was with those Policeman knocking on the door last night?"
"They made me sign some confidentiality agreement without a word, and even took away the computer I used to watch surveillance..."
Yang Dian opened his mouth, unsure how to explain.
Lin Mo had just told him last night not to spread the news of the Qi Revival and Mutant invasion to everyone, so he couldn't just blurt it all out this morning, could he?
After some thought, Yang Dian suddenly had an idea:
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I also signed a confidentiality agreement."
"You understand confidentiality agreements, right? Can't talk about it."
Second Uncle nodded rapidly:
"Understood, understood, my Second Aunt and I also signed one last night."
"If we can't talk about it, then let's not. Why are you up so early?"
Seeing Second Uncle naturally change the subject, Yang Dian was happy to cooperate:
"Staying cooped up at home every day isn't good. I found a job outside."
"Not writing your novel, not dreaming of being a great writer anymore?"
"I'm writing. I can earn a few hundred yuan, so why not write?"
"But sitting in a chair typing on a keyboard all day, a person will rust."
"Finding a job outside is also a way to exercise..."
...After chatting with Second Uncle for a while, Second Uncle, due to their 'comradeship' from also signing the confidentiality agreement, even promised to replace and repair Yang Dian's door lock for free.
Yang Dian, who got a good start to the morning, happily walked downstairs and came to his usual breakfast stall to order a large breakfast.
Not long after he started eating, Shi Sheng pulled up to the breakfast stall in a Cadillac:
"As expected of a Martial Artist, he can really eat."
Sitting down and glancing at the large breakfast in front of Yang Dian, Shi Sheng exclaimed, then turned to the breakfast stall owner:
"Boss, I'll have a bowl of Rou Yan."
Rou Yan is a special snack from Fuzhou, similar to small wontons.
However, its skin is thinner, and the meat is more abundant, with ingredients and portions far exceeding those of small wontons.
While the owner was cooking the Rou Yan, Shi Sheng leaned towards Yang Dian with a mischievous grin:
"How about it, are you looking forward to the surprise?"
Yang Dian looked exasperated:
"You haven't even told me what the surprise is, you just keep asking if I'm looking forward to it."
"Don't let the surprise turn into a fright!"
"Hehe."
Shi Sheng, with his yellow hair, now looked a bit goofy when he smiled:
"I already said, if I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore."
"You won't tell me, but you still ask?"
"Are you trying to disturb my Dao Heart..."
...Amidst their bickering, the Cadillac carried Yang Dian towards the Public Security Bureau.
Still far from the Public Security Bureau, Yang Dian saw several valiant female Policeman standing at the entrance, craning their necks, looking at something.
Seeing their eager expressions, Yang Dian couldn't help but look at Shi Sheng, who had deliberately parked the car by the roadside, with an incredulous look:
"The surprise you mentioned, is it them?"
Shi Sheng chuckled again:
"How about it? Is it a surprise, an unexpected one?"
Yang Dian pointed at the female Policeman, then at himself.
"Them?"
"Me?"
Shi Sheng shrugged:
"Otherwise?"
"Do you still remember what the captain told you yesterday?"
Yang Dian was puzzled, "What did he say?"
"The probability of an ordinary person Awakening is about one in ten thousand."
Yang Dian instantly understood.
"The probability of a Martial Artist Awakening is higher than that of an ordinary person?"
"And it's not just Martial Artists."
"The probability of the descendants of Martial Artists or Awakened people Awakening their talents is also higher than that of ordinary people?"
Shi Sheng gave a thumbs up:
"As expected of a prospective university student who just graduated and hasn't started university yet, your mind works fast."
Yang Dian looked incredulous:
"So they???"
"Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking." Shi Sheng patted Yang Dian's shoulder, laughing:
"A rich and desirable husband, who doesn't like that?"
"I went through the same thing back then."
"Back then, those female Policeman blocked me at the guardhouse for over an hour. If the captain hadn't come to pick me up, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Public Security Bureau."
Yang Dian was speechless.
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
The usually smiling Shi Sheng stopped smiling. He looked at Yang Dian seriously and said:
"To my knowledge, across the country, the total number of eligible male Awakened and male Martial Artists who are unmarried and unattached does not exceed 1,500."
"Many of those 1,500 people live in remote mountains and forests, Cultivating in various Schools."
"But do you know how many eligible girls there are among the descendants of high-ranking officials and magnates in the country now?"
"Moreover, where are we?"
"We are in Min River, the place in all of Huaxia that most emphasizes clan Legacy."
"In other places, after the baptism of modernization, the clan's expectations for their descendants might not be so exaggerated, mostly focusing only on their own offspring."
"But do you know what conditions those wealthy and powerful clan elders here have offered their juniors to increase the number of Awakened in their clan's new generation?"
"Anyway, whenever an Awakened or ancient Martial Artist appears here, whether male or female, whether they have a partner, or whether they are married, a huge drama will unfold."
At this point, Shi Sheng leaned back in his seat:
"Now do you know the value of your 'rare commodity'?"
Yang Dian stroked his chin, looking at the valiant female Policeman through the windshield. He suddenly thought of something and turned to Shi Sheng with his yellow hair:
"That..."
"No way..."
"You..."
Seeing Yang Dian's hesitant expression, Shi Sheng immediately showed a dejected look:
"As someone who's been through it, I'll give you a piece of advice here."
"Look carefully, choose well. If all else fails, stay single. Just don't be too eager."
"Never give up an entire forest for one beautiful tree."
"I regret not having..."
Shi Sheng hadn't finished speaking when a valiant and extraordinarily elegant female Policeman, carrying a stack of documents and wearing a police uniform, tapped on the car window.
"Why are you parked here? Preparing for a mission?"
As the car window rolled down, the female Policeman glanced at the passenger seat, then broke into a smile:
"You must be Yang Dian, the one my Shi Sheng keeps talking about, right?"
"You're an Awakened, or an ancient Martial Artist, and you're so handsome."
"Shi Sheng said you're only 18, just got into university, and probably don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"
"I have a younger sister who's also starting university in the second half of the year. Her grades aren't bad; she got into Fuzhou University, and she's especially pretty."
"Come over for dinner sometime, and I'll set you two up?"
As she spoke, she poked Shi Sheng's shoulder.
Shi Sheng could only turn his head and look at Yang Dian with a helpless expression.
Yang Dian instantly understood his gaze.
"Sister, I'll definitely come to bother you when I have time."
The woman smiled with satisfaction:
"Then I'll buy the groceries and wait for you to come over..."
