Chapter 86: Chapter 59 (part 2)

Nutrient solution allows the body to recover quickly, but spirit consumption could only recover slowly and naturally, and it grew slowly as well. Although there were many people with strong innate spirits, it required a lot of effort to make further progress.

Han Yanyan set her mind to it, endured the ache of muscle repair, and recalled over and over again the feeling of using spiritual power that she had just experienced personally.

This world was one into which she had smuggled contraband. Mecha were cool to look at, but her true contraband was spiritual power.

She needed to spend enough time here to leave herself a deep enough memory. She had to remember the sensation of using spiritual power!

She couldn't bring her powers out of a world, but she could bring the memory out with her!

Although at the moment she couldn't feel her real body, it was surely feeling the things she was currently feeling. She had once felt the power in her body about to explode, and yet it didn't. But though it hadn't broken through, it proved that she had it.

What she needed was to learn how to use it, and to carve those memories of using it deep into her body!

 

Patriarch Han thought that Xinya would come back again after a while. He was good at seeing what others wanted, and even better at bargaining according to the intensity of their wishes. Xinya's wish was give her son the best.

There was no upper limit to these sorts of wishes. For such escalating wants, people would always be willing to grit their teeth and pay more than they had bargained for.

That was what people were like.

Busy with the general affairs of the household, by the time he remembered this batch of crops he had planted, a long time had already passed since Xinya's visit. Curious, he had someone inquire about the situation. As it turned out, Tang Ke has transferred to Aolin, and Xinya had found a job. The report submitted by his subordinate also indicated that Xinya had applied for a grant from one of the Han family's charities and was receiving a sum of money on a regular basis.

It was enough money to calm her heart, live frugally with her child, and leave behind any other thoughts.

At dinner, he asked Han Yanyan, "What's going on with you subsidizing your little Cousin Tang?"

"Well, the last time I chatted with Auntie I realized that she was having some financial difficulties after Uncle died. I gave her a bit of money," she answered without turning a hair.

"Why did you tell Xiao Ke about Aolin?" her father probed further. "Is there something wrong with Dongchen?"

"Have you forgotten your school days?" Han Yanyan asked, speechless. "What's Dongchen like? Everyone there's a wolf. A kid like Xiao Ke who goes to school by bus will just be excluded if he attends. He's too cute, I couldn't bear it."

"You could protect him."

"I can't protect him 24 hours a day. Besides, being kind once in a while is fine, but it's annoying once it becomes my responsibility. I'm not that patient."

Patriarch Han was very pleased.

"Very good," he said, "That's all you need to know. Just be kind every once in a while to give others a sense of our prestige. Don't take it too seriously. "

"It's also because I thought Xiao Ke was cute." Han Yanyan glanced mockingly at her father. "Weren't you willing to help Aunt Xinya because she looks cute too, Father?"

Patriarch Han smiled slightly and ruffled her hair. "How clever. You deserve to be called my daughter."

Glancing at the empty seat on her other side, Han Yanyan asked, "When will Mother be back?"

"It's up to her," the patriarch said said indifferently. "She'll be back when she's had her fun."

Han Yanyan's mother was also an S-class spiritual power, a woman with excellent genes. This marriage had been made as a result of genetic selection.

Excellent genes and strong spiritual power led to more chances to become a mecha warrior, to a better life, and then to take as a spouse someone with good genes, giving birth to children with good genes. Once this cycle repeated a few times, those who were affluent generally had good genes, and those with good genes would generally be affluent.

Back then, Xinya had been clear-headed to know that her cousin had just been greedy for her beauty and would never have married her, because her spirit was only B-class.

Because she was to inherit the family name and business, this father of hers cared a little more about her than her mother. This concern manifested itself through subtly grooming her into a qualified matriarch.

He was willing to let her see those dark, shameful, ruthless things, thinking that these would more quickly rid her of her childhood innocence and bring her to maturity as soon as possible.

"Still no sign yet of your first period?" he asked.

Han Yanyan massaged her forehead.

Innate spiritual power was stronger than the acquired spiritual power that could be induced through gene therapy.

There were two innate spiritual power breakthroughs in a lifetime; the first was at the age of six to eight. No matter whether or not they had been able to use spiritual power before, this breakthrough confirmed it as innate. Tang Ke had just experienced his first breakthrough, and had been ranked as A-level. Pleasantly surprised, Xinya had made up her mind to lay down her dignity to pave the road for her son's success.

The second breakthrough was after a girl's first period or a boy's first ejaculation, the body's maturity ushering in a second breakthrough. This was an extraordinarily important moment, just about the final grade.

Han Yanyan was A-class at the moment, but she was the child of two S-classes and the the result of genetic optimization. Therefore, Patriarch Han had always believed that his child would make it another step.

He expected her to next make it to S-class. So even a man like him would ask closely about his child's physical condition, just like other fathers.

For her father to be hounding her over her first period. Han Yanyan felt like this world really was ridiculous.

Tang Ke, why haven't you destroyed it?
