Chapter 146: Preliminary Exploration Of Spatial Ability

Qiu Wuji went to buy groceries, but in reality, it was intentional to give the mother and son a space for a conversation about their special abilities. Some things may be classified as “confidential,” and she knew that staying at home might not be convenient.

“The girl who sees through the world, she’s an experienced person, and unexpectedly, she gives me a sense of majesty.” This was Wu Xiuyun’s evaluation. “I think it’s normal for her to act condescending and treat you like a grandson, but how could she be the one cooking for you?”

Chu Ge felt a little proud in her heart. I wrote that.

How could she condescend in front of him? From the beginning, his mindset was elevated higher than hers. He treated her as if she were his daughter and taught her how to perceive the world.

Perhaps precisely because of this, their relationship developed in this direction. No one else could get Qiu Wuji to act like this. No one else understood her like this, and she had never been so reliant on someone’s help before. So gradually, their relationship became gentle.

He didn’t dwell on this and simply said, “Qiuqiu is right...”

Wu Xiuyun: “...”

“...I really want to learn about special abilities, Mom. You’re so amazing, aren’t you embarrassed not to teach your son?”

Wu Xiuyun sighed, “We didn’t know you had special abilities before... During the two years, we secretly tested you many times. We felt that you didn’t inherit our abilities at all. Your father even argued with me about whether you were his biological child.”

Chu Ge: “...”

“Now I think we might have made a mistake... At least you have some intelligence...”

“Stop, stop, let’s focus, okay?”

“The point is, special abilities don’t necessarily get inherited. On the contrary, the chances of inheritance are relatively small, and we didn’t take it to heart. We thought that since you were an ordinary child, you should focus on studying and working, enjoying the life of an ordinary person. It’s good. Since we both thought that way, why would we mention special abilities to you? It was just a whim.”

Chu Ge silently poured a cup of tea for his mother. “Now that I have it... is there anything you can teach me? Or is it still about training in the Black Room?”

“Training in the Black Room is essential. Everyone has to undergo that basic training, both physically and mentally. For more advanced training, you would have to come to our base and receive training similar to Moon Shadow’s... but I actually think you don’t need it.”

Chu Ge was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“Because you have a great instructor.” Wu Xiuyun sipped her tea and calmly said, “Personal, one-on-one teaching, going to other places for training would be silly.”

Chu Ge helplessly said, “Qiuqiu doesn’t understand... Oh, her ability awakened naturally, she figured it out herself. She can’t give me systematic training.”

“You may have some misunderstandings about these things, considering them as conventional learning systems,” Wu Xiuyun explained. “Special abilities have only developed in recent years, and most people have been exploring them on their own. So-called systematic training is just an organization and summary. It works for basic and general training, but when it comes to each person’s unique abilities, it depends on themselves—just like no one can train me.”

Chu Ge asked curiously, “Because your spatial ability is amazing?”

“Exactly.” Wu Xiuyun said matter-of-factly, “As far as we know, no one is stronger than me in terms of spatial abilities. So who could teach me?”

Chu Ge pondered for a moment, “Hmm...”

Wu Xiuyun continued, “Based on the current information, you’re invulnerable to any weapon. So what can I teach you?”

Chu Ge looked up at his mother and caught a hint of teasing and playful smile in her expression. He had a moment of realization in his heart. His mother must know that he was definitely not invulnerable to weapons and was waiting for him to confess.

If she herself could achieve this invincibility through spatial isolation... Chu Ge swallowed and couldn’t help but ask, “What ability does Dad have?”

Wu Xiuyun glanced at her son and suddenly pulled out a booklet from somewhere.

Chu Ge’s heart skipped a beat.

Portable space? Infinite storage? 4D Pocket? I want to learn that, Mom...

But Wu Xiuyun said, “This is the ‘Directory of People With Special Abilities’ compiled by Little Gu and the others. It’s an internal publication, not to be shown to others. But you’re not considered an outsider. Take it and use it as a reference when you encounter strange people in the future.”

Chu Ge had been longing for this thing for a long time, so he eagerly took it and flipped open the first page. The first page was filled with a series of code names and top-secret classifications.

Chu Ge asked, “What’s the use of this thing?”

“There is.” Wu Xiuyun grinned and pointed at one of the SS designations. “Based on the code, this one is me.”

Chu Ge said, “How can anyone recognize it?”

“The point is to not be recognized. It’s not useful internally either. Those who are qualified to know will have their identities unlocked. They won’t look here anyway. My external identity is just the director of the research department for extraordinary materials. Your sea sand belongs under my jurisdiction.”

“...”

Wu Xiuyun smiled and asked, “As for what you asked earlier, what ability your dad has...”

Chu Ge looked at her with anticipation.

But he saw Wu Xiuyun pointing at an SSS-level top-secret designation. “This is your dad.”

Chu Ge: “Damn!”

Wu Xiuyun fell silent, indicating that she couldn’t tell him.

“Forget it, I’ll look at something else myself.” Chu Ge flipped the booklet over and went straight to the last page.

Name: Chu Ge.

Ability: Invulnerability.

Potential Assessment: E.

Chu Ge exclaimed, “I’m an E? Which idiot rated this?”

Wu Xiuyun’s expression turned grim. “The idiot who gave birth to you.”

Chu Ge: “?”

Wu Xiuyun said, “Little Gu’s temporary assessment was a B, pending evaluation by the expert panel. I had them change it to E. For now, when you’re not trying to show off, you can pretend to be weaker. The goal is to mislead some people into thinking you’re inexperienced, and then you can punch them in the face.”
