Chapter 150 Talun's Gift
Chapter 150 Talun's Gift
When other insect cubs were still unable to sense mental power, young Youpu had already learned to use mental power to call for help in despair.
While other insect cubs were still making a fuss in the arms of their guards, Youpu lost the three female insects who had grown up with him. In this young world that had not yet come into contact with society, guilt and pain were the first to be engraved in his heart.
It's all my fault. I was too naive.
Females are liars.
These two sentences were like a curse, which Youpu mentioned over and over again. As if he was afraid that he would forget them, he mentioned them over and over again, each time becoming more and more deeply engraved in his mind.
"Not only that, the teacher's wife died on the operating table the next day after she came back because of her serious injuries." Youpu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "I killed the teacher."
Qi Shan didn't recover until he walked out of Youpu's dormitory. The grief and regret in Youpu's eyes almost drowned him. He hated the female insect who deceived him, and hated himself even more for not being able to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Before leaving, Youpu handed him a box and said, "Since you are familiar with Teacher Talun, please help me bring this to him."
"Aren't you going?"
Youpu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I am too embarrassed to see the teacher."
Holding the box, Qi Shan walked on the campus.
(Aren’t you going home?) The system asked, (The get out of class is over)
(Well, send the box over and go back) Qi Shan looked at the box in his hand with complicated eyes, knowing what was inside. He saw Youpu put the things in with his own eyes. (I didn’t expect that the first person to use it was Teacher Talun)
(All the bugs around have gone away, the teacher might have already left) the system reminded.
There was not a single insect on the road, except for a few patrolmen passing by occasionally.
(Let’s go and take a look. I want to deliver the things quickly.) As he said this, Qi Shan quickened his pace.
I knocked on the office door, and it opened quickly. The tall female insect whispered, "Sorry, Mr. Talun is resting."
Qi Shan also lowered his voice: "Then I'll come again tomorrow"
"No need," Talun's slightly weak voice came from inside, "I'm awake, come in"
The female insect opened the door and Qi Shan walked in.
Talun rubbed his eyes and put on his glasses. He still looked a little sleepy, with a blanket draped over him. He sat up slowly and said with a smile, "I'm old and easily sleepy. School is over, why haven't you gone home yet?"
"Teacher, Youpu told me," Qi Shan handed over the box, "He asked me to give this to you."
Talun was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to signal. The female insect nodded, left the room and closed the door.
"This, is this given to me by Youpu?" Talun took the box with a surprised tone, then laughed, "The child has been hiding from me. The situation was so urgent at the time that I thought he was scared by me."
Scared? Qi Shan's eyes were complicated. He was not scared, but Youpu was too guilty to face you.
In the box was a lavender wristband with runes engraved on it connecting several crystal fragments. Purple light flashed, and each one was stored by Youpu himself. One piece could restore all the mental power of a C-level.
Once the mental power reaches a critical point, the fragments will automatically trigger and replenish the user's mental power.
Qi Shan estimated that there were at least twenty fragments inlaid on the wristband.
Then I thought about how stingy Youpu was when doing experiments. He would never go up by himself if he could coax Qishan to do it, and he would borrow the test crystals stored in Qishan openly or secretly and never return them.
That guy won't use all his mental energy on this wristband.
It is really possible. Youpu can store a maximum of three fragments, and one day's mental power is almost exhausted. Twenty fragments will take at least seven days. Qi Shan has only known Youpu for ten days.
The first day is not counted. On that day, their mental powers were almost exhausted and they had no energy to store up mental power.
That’s nine days. Good man, Youpu wouldn’t have been planning to make this wristband from the moment he took out the crystal test stone.
There is a note in the box explaining the function and triggering conditions of this wristband.
Talun lowered his head and carefully touched the fragments on the wristband. The corners of his mouth curled up beautifully, a gentle orange light flowed in his eyes, and his curved eyes had some fine wrinkles, "Thank you."
How could he not see how precious this wristband was? Not to mention the mental power stored in it, even the runes carefully drawn on the wristband had to be drawn countless times.
"Youpu said this was your invention, right?" Talun looked up at Qi Shan.
"Eh?" Qi Shan didn't expect Youpu to mention him in the letter. He scratched his head awkwardly. "It's just inspiration, mainly the result of Youpu's research."
"Hahaha," Talun laughed, "Don't be modest, you two are indeed geniuses, your sudden inspiration would take other insects a lifetime to study..."
It seemed as if the compliments were free of charge, but Talen's eyes were so sincere.
Qi Shan's face turned red from the praise and he couldn't help digging his toes into the ground. The teacher was worthy of being a teacher. He had a rich vocabulary and praised him for five minutes without repeating a word.
How could one insect enjoy the praise for something done by two insects?
Qi Shan secretly asked the system to record the conversation. He felt shy listening to it, and You Pu had no chance of escaping.
The system recorded it obediently and even saved a copy of the surveillance video. It's rare to see Ashan being shy.
When talking about Youpu’s guilt, Qi Shan told Teacher Talun the truth.
Tarent had a complicated expression: "Is that what the child thinks?"
He was a little restless, the pain in his legs was pressing on his nerves, he slowly stood up, Qi Shan quickly supported him and walked to the table.
Talun took out a thick file from the drawer and flipped to the bottom: "In fact, this matter has always made me feel guilty."
Qi Shan looked at the document, which was stamped with the First Army's badge. It said that the First Army had discovered insect smuggling and suspected that the other party was using blockers, so it applied to the government for male insect support.
"I had just married my female monarch, so I didn't accept the mission right away. Unexpectedly, the mission was delayed for a month. It wasn't until the commander of the First Army, Cheng Li, came to visit me in person that I learned that no male insect had accepted the application."
He shook his head and said, "So a month later, I accepted the mission. You also heard what happened next from Youpu."
Qi Shan nodded: "He said you found him"
Talun nodded hesitantly: "I guess so. During the mission, we never found the target. I wondered if there was a problem with the detection. I accidentally connected to Youpu's mental power."
"I was shocked. A young man's mental power, so weak and trembling, was able to pass through the shield and connect with me. I don't know how long he tried. His mental power was almost dissipated."
He recalled the scene at that time and took a deep breath. "It's hard to imagine. If it was a little later or I didn't find it, Youpu might have died somewhere and no one would know."
As he said this, he smiled thankfully, "Fortunately, I was still B+ at the time, and my mental power was sharp enough, so I found him. No, I should say that he caught me. That little bit of mental power was like a small hand that grabbed me."
"Commander Cheng Li thought the situation inside was unclear and asked me to wait for them to arrive before taking action. However, I was too young and decided that I had to act immediately. Facts have proved that I was too reckless at the time."
Tallen sighed.
