Chapter 7: Live Together?

Next, Lin Luo and Xing Mo will sign an employment agreement through the light brain. Xing Mo proposed to sign a three-year agreement that would give Lin Luo a fixed commission of 100,000 credits each year. After that, every time Lin Luo extracted a bottle of energy liquid, he could get 10% of the sales of this bottle of energy liquid. Such conditions are unimaginably favorable conditions for a newly awakened person who has not yet obtained the qualification of an energy teacher.

Lin Luo naturally disagrees. In order to save him, Xing Mo spent millions of credits. He is just a newly awakened supernatural person who knows nothing. How embarrassing would it be to accept such overly generous terms? Xing Mo didn’t agree, and said that if he refused to accept this condition, he would not be hired at all.

In the end, the two people could only take a step back and cancel the fixed commission portion. Lin Luo only took the sales commission of the extracted energy liquid. The term of the contract was also extended to ten years under Lin Luo’s insistence.

After finally signing the agreement, the two smiled at each other and shook each other’s hand.

“Happy cooperation.”

Although Lin Luo also signed an employment agreement with the mining area, the mining area was originally Xing Mo’s industry. As long as Xing Mo agrees to terminate the agreement, it will be fine. Therefore, Lin Luo’s identity quickly changed from a small miner to a quasi-energy engineer.

It’s just that Lin Luo is an orphan and doesn’t have any fixed assets. Once the employment agreement with the mining area is terminated, he will be homeless. As a result, Xing Mo could only take him in temporarily.

Xing Mo handled Lin Luo’s discharge procedures and took him on the shuttle to planet Kipola.

As the Xing family’s current internal situation is very chaotic and the struggle for rights is becoming more and more intense, the fact that Xing Mo has found an energy engineer should not be announced to the public. Therefore, Xing Mo suggested that he not return to Capital Planet, but to the auxiliary planet of the Capital Planet, Kipola, with Lin Luo temporarily instead.

Although planet Kipola is only an auxiliary planet, its prosperity is no worse than that of the Capital Planet. Kipola is like spring all year round, with a wide area and beautiful scenery, and is deeply loved by the rich.

Mother Xing has a small manor in Kipola. Although she seldom lives there, the housework robot still cleans it every day, so Xing Mo and Lin Luo could live there directly.

********

When Lin Luo came outside the manor, he was shocked by the beautiful scenery here. As soon as you enter the door, there is a big flowerbed, and the colorful flowers are very eye-catching.

Walking along the long road towards the estate, you can see a very unique house, which will be their future residence.

Behind the house is a large cultivated flowerbed surrounded by wildflowers and trees, and beautiful green grass.

Lin Luo had never seen such bright colors. He kept looking around as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden [1], making Xing Mo a little dumbfounded.

“Let’s go in and take a rest. In the future, there will be time to watch. Aren’t you hungry?”

Lin Luo withdrew his gaze a little embarrassedly, quickly followed in Xing Mo’s footsteps, and walked into the room.

The interior decoration of the house is a simple and comfortable style, and seemingly simple design, often dotted with some unique features.

The chubby housework robot No. 1 has received instructions and knows that two owners will arrive at the manor today, so they have prepared a room and dinner for them early. The first floor is the kitchen and the living room, and the second floor is the study and bedroom. Of course, Xing Mo lives in the master bedroom, and Lin Luo lives in the guest room.

However, even the guest rooms are much better than Lin Luo’s small dormitory on Kulta. There is a bouquet of fragrant and beautiful flowers in the room with dew on the petals. The bed is a six-foot bed, spacious, soft and comfortable. A new set of neatly folded clothes is placed in the center of the bed. It should have been prepared by the housework robot.

He walked into the bathroom and wanted to wash, only to find that there was a bathtub in the bathroom. He took a very comfortable hot bath, put on clean clothes, and lay on the soft bed. The whole person was soft. I don’t want to move at all.

But soon there was a scent of fragrant food, which was the smell of real food, rather than a cheap nutrient solution made into various flavors.

Lin Luo’s belly immediately screamed honestly, as he sniffed the air, got up from the bed, and quickly went downstairs.

In the living room, two housework robots are orderly arranging dishes all made of natural ingredients. They are fresh and warm, but of course they cannot be made by robots. They are finished products ordered through StarNet. The robots only need to serve the food.

When Xing Mo came down from the stairs, he saw Lin Luo was already sitting at the table, his eyes fixed on the food, motionless. But after seeing Xing Mo appear, Lin Luo immediately raised his head and looked at him with those big wet eyes. The begging in his eyes was almost full, like a hungry little animal begging for food.

Xing Mo was itchy with these wet eyes staring at him, and couldn’t help reaching out and rubbing his head.

“Eat quickly.”

Lin Luo gave a little cheer and immediately started to move. Looking at the fragrant taste of Lin Luo’s food, Xing Mo felt that today’s food seemed to be much more delicious than usual, and he also ate more. As a result, the two of them both ate a lot and spread out on the sofa in the living room.

“You can visit StarNet in the evening to see some basic knowledge of the use of mental power. Tomorrow I’ll take you to Gambling Stone Street. I have a shop there. I’ll just pick two pieces of jade for you to practice with.”

“Okay!” Lin Luo immediately became excited when he heard the words ‘gambling stone’. He really wanted to see the beauty of jade with his own eyes.

The two chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms. Xing Mo still has a lot to deal with about the follow-up of the meteorite rain on Kulta, and Lin Luo has to go to Xingwang to learn the basics of the use of mental power.

He lay on the bedside, opened his light brain, and connected to StarNet. After he typed the use of mental power in the search bar of StarNet, he clicked to search, and a lot of related information really popped up. He also found an official forum for supernaturalists, and only those who registered in the Empire Able to enter this forum.

Lin Luo tried to click, and went in miraculously. It seems that it should be the clinic or Xing Mo who registered for him, right? Anyway, he just needs to go in.

He found a section of the forum for mental power superpowers, which contains a lot of basic teaching posts about mental power. He chose the most popular and seemingly most reliable post and clicked it.

This post briefly described the theoretical knowledge of the use of mental power. Without the energy stone, he could only remember these points as much as possible, and wait until tomorrow to get the jade before trying.

Feeling almost done, Lin Luo stared at the forum page for a while, then sneakily typed “Xing Mo” into the search bar.

Xing Mo, the son of the Patriarch of the Xing family, was once such an outstanding person. Provided the person was able to access StarNet, there was no one who didn’t know his name. Lin Luo had also heard some news about him, but he never thought that there would be a day he would be so close to such a proud son of heaven.

He wants to know, why Xing Mo’s ability has been unable to advance? The forum said that some people with mental powers are able to sense other powers through physical contact, but the method and content of the induction vary from person to person. He felt that the color he saw might be Xing Mo’s supernatural color.

However, the doctor said that day that Xing Mo is a fire-type supernatural power, so the power attribute color in his body should be red. But when he came into contact with Xing Mo, he found that the light in his body was not red, but a strange color. It is a pity that Lin Luo is a super colorblind who has just been cured. His cognition of color is still in the initial stage. At present, he can only distinguish the simple colors of red, yellow, blue and green. Complex colors like the one he saw in Xing Mo’s body he still cant describe.

But he instinctively felt that Xing Mo’s inability to advance may be related to this color.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t know much about abilities, and he can’t think of anything useful even if he wants to break his head trying. So Lin Luo decided not to embarrass himself, and let things take their course.

He left the forum page, returned to the StarNet homepage, and searched for information related to stone gambling. He is still more interested in stone gambling. Taking advantage of his chance to go to Gambling Stone Street to see with his own eyes tomorrow, he must learn more about this!

===========Translator’s Corner===========

[1] “Granny Liu visits the Grand View Gardens” – idiom/expression from 18th century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber. The expression is used in modern Chinese to describe someone, usually a simple unsophisticated person, who is overwhelmed by new experiences and luxurious surroundings. Also extremely fitting in context because Lin Luo is literally walking through a garden…
