Chapter 143 - Detecting Abnormalities

“State your terms.”

“The profits will be divided 9:1. You only have the right to suggest how I spend my time. I will make the final decision. The contract will last five years.”

“Mr. Lin, please remember that I am not working for you. We are cooperating with each other.”

“If you were working for me, you would not get 10% of the profits.”

Qin Ya closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a long while, she said, “Mr. Lin, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. By becoming your professional manager, I am not simply your manager. I will use my connections and resources to groom you. For example, I will give you nutrition drinks in the early stages and find teachers for you. I will hire gold warlords to come up with a training plan for you, and I will search for a suitable company so you can be their spokesperson. I will make use of my connections to make all this possible.”

“I have enough electricity to cultivate, and I don’t need nutrition drinks…”

“You might not need spirit energy nutrition drinks, but how about medicinal drinks that heal injuries? I know that you have a natural healing talent, but this talent can be used in combination with healing medicinal drinks to make you recover faster. In terms of combat skills, you will understand the profound meaning faster with a famous teacher to guide you. I will not only look within Ninghai City for dojos where you could work as a spokesperson, but I will also look for them in big cities.”

Lin Yao was speechless after what she said. Although he did not want to admit it, Qin Ya was right. With her help, his cultivation speed would be faster.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yao changed his conditions.

“What you said is true. I did not think it through properly. If you can fulfill your promise, I will change my conditions. The last two conditions remain unchanged, but the profits can be divided 8:2.”

“Ha ha.”

Qin Ya was completely disappointed by Lin Yao’s words. She no longer harbored any hopes of working with him. Even so, she was still very gracious.

“Since you insist, Mr. Lin, I wish you good luck.”

“Likewise.”

Both of them were very confident. Lin Yao was confident that with his tree-planting system, he would definitely develop into a divine figure. Besides, he had been prohibited from participating in the mysterious land by the city center and he was given subsidies by the government, so he would definitely have an easy, smooth journey to becoming a powerful figure.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all.

Although Qin Ya valued Lin Yao, she had other choices apart from him. Besides, now that she had discovered that he was an arrogant person, she had no desire to please him. In her opinion, there was no way to persuade people who were too arrogant.

‘It’s a pity. With his talent and my support, he could definitely develop quickly and even enter the sub-list of Hidden Dragons.’

Although they could not agree on the conditions, Qin Ya still took Lin Yao to Professor Li’s research institute.

“Goodbye.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yao nodded and pushed the door open to leave.

He had just gotten out of the car when someone cheered beside him.

“Ah Yao, you are finally here. I thought that you were a deserter.”

“How is that possible? It’s just because of my talent.”

It was Jiang Rong who was cheering. He had not been to the research institute for five to six days. When he saw her, Lin Yao’s face broke into a gentle smile.

Lin Yao chatted with Jiang Rong and was about to walk with her to the research institute.

However, after he got out of the car, something Lin Yao had not expected happened. Senior Sister Jiang Rong did not go in with him. Instead, she looked at the woman in the car in surprise.

“Senior Sister Qin Ya, what brings you here?”

“Jiang Rong, why are you here? Oh, you are an intern of Professor Li.”

Lin Yao was shocked to see the two of them exchange greetings. He said in surprise, “Do the two of you know each other?”

“Well, Ah Yao, let me introduce everyone. Senior Sister Qin Ya is also a student of the University of Monster Science and Technology. She is in the humanities faculty, and she majored in business administration. How do you two know each other? Is she in a discussion with you to become your manager?”

“Your guess is right.”

“After I graduated, Senior Sister Qin Ya also tried asking me to work with her.”

“The invitation is still valid.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister, but instead of being in the limelight, I’d still prefer to work in the research institute.”

Seeing that the two of them had not met for a long time, Lin Yao excused himself to let them catch up.

He was a little impatient, as he had not been electrocuted for five to six days.

Of course, he was not a masochist. He wanted to be electrocuted, as his physical realm would increase after the electric current stimulation.

Lin Yao was already familiar with Professor Li’s research institute. After he entered, someone took Lin Yao to the electric chair and attached electrodes to connect the electric current. He could feel the sensation of the electric current running through his body.

However, thanks to the long-term contact and his Heavenly Thunder Manipulation talent, Lin Yao had become tolerant to the electric current. When he first felt the electric stimulation, Lin Yao did not even feel pain. In fact, it felt as comfortable as a massage.

This kind of sensation was similar to enjoying a good meal or having a cold shower in the summer. Lin Yao felt so comfortable that he trembled slightly.

However, if one had too much food, one would get bloated, and if the cold shower was too cold, it could also result in frostbite. The same logic applied to electric current stimulation.

As the current increased and the stimulation time was prolonged, Lin Yao once again felt like his body was being torn apart.

“That’s it.”

Lin Yao relished the feeling of his body being torn apart and healed by using the power of the sun. Lin Yao was not afraid. Instead, he longed to improve his abilities.

The process of the stimulation was the same. The only thing that had changed was the duration.

Because Lin Yao was tolerant to the electric current and his Iron Body had increased, his physical body was stimulated for 33 minutes this time, which was eleven times the duration ordinary electric current developers lasted at the same stage.

Lin Yao’s abilities were enhanced by the longer electric current stimulation. After an electric shock, Lin Yao’s physical realm had reached 56%, which was an increase of 8%.

This was a very large increase, but it was also a result of Lin Yao’s talent and decades of research in China.

In addition to the development of the physical body, the mind was also stimulated. Lin Yao persisted for 15 seconds this time, which also meant that he could activate 15 seconds of accelerated thinking.

The result of the electric current development was wonderful. However, Lin Yao turned limp after it ended. He was totally unconscious except for two involuntary twitches. He could not sense anything that happened in the outside world, nor could he control his own body. As a result, he experienced urinary incontinence again.

Lin Yao, who had collapsed on the ground and lost bladder control, looked miserable. However, the researchers nearby and Professor Li, who was here to personally control the electric current stimulation, did not even show a trace of contempt for him. In fact, Lin Yao deserved their admiration, as he had been able to persist for 30 minutes even though he was a martial artist and was also able to develop his brain. Such a person would definitely become a powerhouse.

“Bring him to the room with the open skylight and let him rest properly.”

“Yes, Professor.”

Lin Yao’s development had ended for the day, but Qin Ya also happened to see the miserable state he was in when he was carried away in a cart.

It had been a long time since Qin Ya saw Jiang Rong, and she had always wanted to invite her to work at the company. Qin Ya did not leave right away. Instead, she chatted with Jiang Rong in the research institute, hoping to poach her.

Then, she saw Lin Yao, who had been arrogant just now but was convulsing from time to time and looking miserable now.

Initially, she did not seem to care. However, she suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up.

“Isn’t he going to participate in the competition tomorrow? What should he do tomorrow now that he’s used electric current to develop?”

Qin Ya directed this question to Jiang Rong, but she gave her a vague reply. “It’s okay, we will heal his injuries.”

“It will be odd if they can be cured. The reason why Project Thunder God was abandoned is because the cost of treating cells is too high to popularize it among ordinary people. There are indeed resources that can heal his injuries, but those things must be extremely precious. The rewards for the city’s competition might not necessarily be as valuable as these resources.”

These words left Jiang Rong speechless. Soon, Qin Ya asked another question.

“How long was he stimulated by the electric current?”

“This… is confidential.”

Although there was Skynet in China, China had always emphasized stability and high domestic security. However, if possible, Jiang Rong did not want to reveal Lin Yao’s talent to keep him safer.

Qin Ya had a high IQ, and this topic was about scientific research after all. Jiang Rong’s reply made her think of many possibilities.

“There is no need to be so secretive about ordinary electric current developers.”

Qin Ya knew that Lin Yao had left more than half an hour ago and had undergone electric current stimulation today despite knowing that he had a competition tomorrow. Qin Ya thought of the conditions that he had stated and hesitated.

Soon, she had an idea.

“This is the latest therapeutic drug developed by my father’s company. It can quickly heal physical injuries. Can I give it to Lin Yao?”

“Why?”

“To become friends with a genius. I am different from you. I am not very talented at martial arts, and I don’t like fighting and killing. However, this is a harsh world, so in order to protect myself, I must become friends with geniuses.”

“You are already a silver warlord.”

“You should know how I attained this level. Do you know how many nutrition drinks my father gave me in order to groom me?”

While talking and laughing, Qin Ya kept looking at Jiang Rong. Finally, after using the equipment in the research institute to go through some tests and determine that the medicine was harmless, Qin Ya entered the room where Lin Yao was recovering and saw him sleeping.

The Light Adjustment was able to enhance the human body and make one perfect and attractive. Even though Lin Yao had fallen asleep and was being washed by others, he was still just as handsome. In fact, as he was sleeping deeply, he looked adorable yet dashing. Qin Ya’s heart wavered slightly as she looked at the sleeping young man.

However, a moment later, her heart calmed down and she raised her guard.

‘This face is not simply beautiful. He seems to have used some seductive combat skills.’

Qin Ya was right. Although he had perfect features, Lin Yao’s good looks also had an effect on others. Due to the characteristics of the light, everyone who looked at Lin Yao would feel peace of mind. It was as if their souls were purified. At the same time, human beings would subconsciously pursue good genes, so women would be delighted upon seeing Lin Yao.

Qin Ya was careful not to be tempted by that handsome face. She took out the medicinal drink and injected it into Lin Yao.

This medicine had been developed and registered, and Senior Sister Jiang Rong had also tested it and confirmed that it was indeed harmless. It was also effective when it was used on Lin Yao.

As the medicine entered his body, Lin Yao had fewer convulsions. Initially, he frowned due to the pain, but his frown also gradually eased up.

An hour later, his body recovered completely, and Lin Yao looked like a sleeping prince. He seemed to be perfectly fine, but he still did not wake up.

Qin Ya, who had not left, thought of all kinds of possibilities upon watching this scene.

After all, as a top student of the University of Monster Science and Technology, she was fairly knowledgeable.

“His physical body has recovered, yet he has not regained consciousness. Aren’t all of you anxious?”
