60: Chapter 60 is simply too much to learn.
"Principal Li, this matter is entirely my son's fault."
Inside a soundproof room, a mature man with deep eyes held a phone, a faint smile on his face, speaking in a very sincere tone,
"I humbly request that Principal Li convey an apology to that student on behalf of the Liu Family.
As for the crimson blood battle armor he found... if that student likes it, let it be a gift of apology from us."
The middle-aged man exchanged a few more pleasantries with the other party before hanging up.
In an instant, the smile on his face faded, replaced by a solemn expression as he stepped out of the room.
He walked down the corridor with hurried steps, quickly arriving before a large door, which he pushed open to enter another room.
This room was the Liu Family's private medical room, where several private doctors were gathered, discussing something.
Inside the medical room, the most eye-catching thing was the hospital bed.
On the bed lay a person resembling a mummy, wrapped densely in bandages from head to toe, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
The person saw the middle-aged man enter, reacted violently, mouth opening and closing as if to say something, but only incoherent sounds emerged due to the bandages.
Beside the bed, a luxuriously dressed woman was wiping away tears.
Seeing her son's reaction, she quickly turned her head, caught sight of the middle-aged man walking in, and shrieked hysterically:
"Liu Zheng! The doctor said, even if our son recovers as fast as possible, he definitely won't be able to take the Martial Arts Exam!"
"Have you found out the background of the bastard who did this? We must tear him to shreds!"
Looking at the woman's expression, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows and said helplessly:
"I've checked. This matter is entirely Xiao Kai's fault. We are in the wrong, so let's just let this matter pass."
Upon hearing this, the woman froze, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she shrieked sharply:
"Just let it pass?!"
"Liu Zheng, are you still a man? Our own son has been beaten like this, and you can actually say such cowardly words?"
"Isn't the other party just a student? Go ask the Old Man to put pressure on the school. I don't believe the school dares to offend our Liu Family for just one student."
"If all else fails..." A flash of ruthlessness crossed the woman's eyes,
"I'll go find my older brother. He has plenty of people under him who aren't afraid to do dirty work!"
"Can you stop adding to the chaos and causing trouble for me!" Liu Zheng exploded instantly, glaring furiously at the woman,
"Stop having those crooked thoughts. That student has already been designated as a core student of the Taichu Martial Mansion. If you dare to make a move against him privately, it is equivalent to treason!"
"When the time comes, the entire Liu Family will be implicated. Can you bear that responsibility?!" Liu Zheng said, becoming more agitated, his chest heaving violently.
Although Project Starfall was classified and required strict confidentiality, Principal Li knew in his heart that his abilities were not enough to suppress the Liu Family.
Therefore, to save trouble, he had vaguely released some information to the Liu Family, and Liu Zheng had also quickly investigated the news that Chen Moxuan had been internally selected by the Taichu Martial Mansion.
The reason Project Starfall was kept strictly secret was because there were many traitors within the Human Race who collaborated with the enemy and colluded with alien races.
These scumbags viewed alien races as gods, like fanatics, and to weaken the overall strength of the Human Race, they would risk everything to strangle the budding martial arts Geniuses of the Human Race in the cradle.
Therefore, making a move on members of Project Starfall in private was no different from being a traitor to the Human Race; once discovered, there would be no leniency.
"You... you dare to yell at me?" Tears welled up in the woman's eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng's tone softened slightly, but still carried a strong sense of reprimand:
"In any case, none of you are to cause any more trouble on your own.
The Old Man is getting on in years, his body and spirit are not as good as before, so stop provoking him."
"Are we really just going to let him off like this?" The woman's eyes were full of unwillingness; she was still not giving up.
"I only said for you all not to interfere, I didn't say that person would be safe and sound." Liu Zheng's mouth curled slightly, forming a meaningful smile, as if there was more to his words.
"What do you mean?" The woman was stunned.
Liu Zheng did not answer directly, but turned his gaze to Liu Kai, who was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, his face darkened, and he scolded sternly:
"You were also bold enough to steal my things.
You managed to save your life this time purely because of good luck!
Do you know that the crimson blood battle armor is inhabited by the Mechanical Race?"
"Mechanical Race?" The woman's willow-leaf brows furrowed tightly as she blurted out.
Liu Kai's exposed pair of eyes were also full of confusion; clearly, he didn't quite understand yet.
Liu Zheng sighed and explained:
"Do you know... why the Mechanical Race, which once had a close relationship with the Human Race, suddenly went extinct?"
He paused slightly, his gaze shifting between Liu Kai on the hospital bed and the woman, and continued,
"The Mechanical Race was initially friendly to the Human Race because they were convinced they could extract more knowledge from the Human Race to improve and strengthen themselves."
"But during the Third Great War of Ten Thousand Races, all members of the Mechanical Race were infected by a virus for an unknown reason."
"Because of this virus, once the Mechanical Race determines that the human individual they are connected to has no value for learning, they will, without explanation, completely erase them."
"No matter what kind of Genius he is, he is ultimately too young."
"Even with the processing power of a Mechanical Race larva, I'm afraid that within three days, that student will no longer have any value to it..."
"You mean..." The woman's eyes lit up, and her previously furrowed brows instantly smoothed out.
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of an imperceptible cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"I originally bought that crimson blood battle armor for my collection, but since that student picked it up, consider it a gift of apology to him."
"As for anything else, the Liu Family knows nothing."
Hearing this, the anger and unwillingness that had accumulated in the depths of Liu Kai's heart because his father was going to let Chen Moxuan go gradually faded away.
Only the eyes exposed outside the bandages flickered with malice.
Chen Moxuan, just enjoy your pride for a few more days...
The things you happily took from me will soon make you taste despair.
It's just a pity that I can't see you being ambushed to death by that thing with my own eyes, and see that expression of regret on your face.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Moxuan, who was in the Library Pavilion, was regretting deeply:
"I should have brought my phone."
He couldn't use Ethereal Spirit Electricity to stimulate his Mental Energy recovery today, so he could only use ordinary analysis speed and slowly wait for his self-created Breathing Method to finish evolving.
Having nothing better to do, he could only read some materials on the first floor that had nothing to do with martial arts.
The performance of his Special Ability was fully occupied, and for the first time in a while, he didn't use the quantum fluctuation speed-reading method, choosing instead to read slowly by himself.
"Huh, there's an introduction to the Mechanical Race here."
"Let me see... Once a Mechanical Race larva establishes a connection with a human, under normal circumstances, it can rapidly develop intelligence equivalent to an adult within just one hour."
"As it comes into contact with more and more knowledge, its intelligence will continue to evolve, eventually becoming an extremely capable think tank for the connected individual..."
"One hour... Xiao Bo, why do I feel like it's been so long, yet you're still quite stupid?"
Chen Moxuan looked at the black god bracelet on his wrist, trying to communicate with Xiao Bo in his heart, but still received the same 'babbling' sounds of unknown meaning.
However, Xiao Bo really had grievances it couldn't voice; its intelligence was still in the infancy stage.
Almost all of its processor's performance was usually used to learn the knowledge in Chen Moxuan's mind.
To this day, let alone finishing this knowledge, it was only increasing more and more.
It cannot finish learning, simply cannot finish learning.
