Demon's Self-cultivation

After reaching an agreement with Qiao Qiao, Zhang Chongming pressed the button to open the door of the laboratory.

Seeing the door open, Xu Zhengjie, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, walked in quickly. The first thing he did was to look Qiao Qiao up and down, and after confirming that he was all right, he turned his attention to Zhang Chongming.

Zhang Chongming raised his eyebrows, and snorted angrily: "I won't eat him, why are you exaggerating?"

"...I'm sorry, if you care about it, you will be confused." Xu Zhengjie bowed his head slightly and sincerely apologized.Probably because Xu Zhengjie had lost a child before, Xu Zhengjie's concern and worries for Qiao Qiao were indeed a bit excessive, and he also knew that his distrustful attitude was a bit unpleasant.

Fortunately, Zhang Chongming has already placed himself in the position of Qiao Qiao's mentor, and he knows Qiao Qiao's "sensational" little secrets better than Xu Zhengjie.Seeing that Xu Zhengjie cared about Qiao Qiao so much, although he scoffed, he was not too dissatisfied, on the contrary, he was slightly relieved.

"Okay, I'm not such a stingy person." Zhang Chongming waved his hand generously, "Since you are so concerned, let's talk about the results of the examination. This child's mental strength is too high and his physical fitness is too low , but still able to maintain health, I have found the reason."

"Because of what?" Xu Zhengjie's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly.

Zhang Chongming glanced at him, but did not bluntly answer his doubts, but asked back: "You should know that if a child with high mental strength is relatively low in physical fitness, it will affect the reason for his health, right?"

"Of course." For this kind of "common sense", Xu Zhengjie naturally understood, "It is because the mental power is too high, which exceeds the limit that the body can bear, which causes excessive fatigue of the body, and then exhaustion."

Zhang Chongming nodded: "Then do you know, apart from Qiao Qiao, what is the level of the young child with the highest spiritual power found so far?"

Xu Zhengjie frowned and didn't answer.

"It's A-level." Chen Chuan added, "I've learned about it before. The current masters with 3S mental power are all in the range of B to A when they were young."

"That's right." Zhang Chongming nodded again, "So, the extremely special case of Qiao Qiao's S mental power cannot be judged by common sense, but based on my research and inspection results—" He pointed to several data , "Jojo's mental strength is too high, exceeding a certain threshold, so the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change."

"You mean...?" Xu Zhengjie couldn't understand the data, and even Chen Chuan was confused.

"If the mental power is higher than the physical quality, it will indeed cause a heavy burden on the body, but if the mental power exceeds a certain limit, it will undergo a qualitative change, which in turn will be transformed into a power to maintain physical health and protect the fragile body. Body." Seeing that Xu Zhengjie and Chen Chuan were either at a loss or in contemplation, Zhang Chongming gave another simple example, "To use an inappropriate analogy. The human body is a sealed container, while the mental power is a constant The clear water injected into the container. When the amount of water injected is too much, the container will be in danger of being broken; but if the amount of water is suddenly increased and the pressure is too high without the container being broken, the water can condense into a solid state. And the water that becomes solid will in turn support the container and help the container maintain its original shape."

This metaphor is not subtle, but it is indeed easy to understand, and Xu Zhengjie and Chen Chuan immediately understood what Zhang Chongming meant.

"Is there... such a possibility?" Chen Chuan muttered to himself with a look of surprise.

Zhang Chongming glanced at him: "The world is so big, there are so many wonders."

——These words are not all deceit, but the threshold that allows the mental power to support the body in turn is not S or S, but 2S, or even 3S.

Zhang Chongming dared to modify this threshold without authorization, simply because this lie is difficult to be exposed.After all, apart from Jojo, there is probably no other child with S in mental strength and only E in physical fitness.Zhang Chongming felt that even if such a child was born, he probably wouldn't live long... As for Qiao Qiao's mental power suddenly mutated from the normal value to the current strength, it can only be explained by "the world is so big and full of wonders".

And there will never be a second such "miracle".

Therefore, Qiao Qiao is the most special one. Zhang Chongming will never allow Qiao Qiao to encounter any danger, whether it is for the precious life of this child or for the noble science that he has dedicated his life to.

After eloquently talking about the inspection results and citing classics, Zhang Chongming successfully got Xu Zhengjie and Chen Chuan to agree with his explanation.Even if he knew that what he said was full of mistakes and omissions, as long as Chen Chuan, an expert in other fields, and Xu Zhengjie, a more layman, were fooled, it would be fine.

Quietly heaving a sigh of relief, he cast a smug look at Qiao Qiao, while Qiao Qiao pursed his lips, and returned him a secret smile that he didn't know.

——If Zhang Chongming had always been so obedient, Lord Xinmo felt that he could mercifully let him live until the end of his life.

Although he understood the reason why Qiao Qiao's E-level physique was still alive and kicking, but Xu Zhengjie didn't seem to feel relieved.He frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang Chongming sincerely: "How long can this spiritual support last? Can you guarantee that Qiao Qiao will always be so healthy?"

"I don't know about that." Zhang Chongming shook his head. "After all, this situation has never been preceded. No one knows what the future will look like if it is allowed to develop."

Xu Zhengjie became more and more worried: "There is no other way?"

"There must be a way, or a stupid way." Zhang Chongming spread his hands, "That is to exercise hard and improve his physique during the period when Qiaoqiao is healthy. In any case, the higher the physique, the better the health will naturally be. You are a soldier, and training your physical fitness should be your job."

"That's the only way to go." Xu Zhengjie sighed.

In short, after figuring out the abnormality of Qiao Qiao's body, Xu Zhengjie no longer had to keep Qiao Qiao on the central planet forcibly, and the heart-wrenching little devil naturally took the first interstellar train and couldn't wait to return to planet C13.

The number of days spent back and forth plus the time spent on the central star, Qiao Qiao has not seen his host for more than two weeks.After being sent back to the orphanage by Xu Zhengjie, he greeted Mrs. Neil, then shook off the reluctant Zhang Jie, and rushed to the library at the first time—it just so happened that it was summer vacation, and Mandel moved back from school. lived in an orphanage.

As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Qiao saw his dear host sitting quietly at the desk, flipping through the book in his hand.Hearing the sound of Qiao Qiao's footsteps, Mandel just turned his head when he was rushed into his arms by a limp little calf.

Mandel twitched the corner of his mouth, let Jojo rub against his chest for a long time with a disgusted expression, then raised his hand and pushed his head away: "You're back?"

"Well, I'm finally back!" Qiao Qiao looked at his host anxiously, trying to convey his thoughts to the other party, "Qiao Qiao misses Brother Mandel so much, does brother miss Qiao Qiao?"

Really feeling this longing, Mandel's heart softened, and he couldn't help turning his ears red, coughing lightly: "It's only a few days, what's there to think about."

The little devil who was deeply hurt by his ruthless host: "...QAQ"

"Okay." Unable to stand the stickiness of this little guy, Mandel finally tore him off his body with a little force, and forced him to sit on the chair. "What is the reason for going to the central star suddenly this time?"

——Although he verbally said that he didn't care, Mandel still cared about this little guy very much.During the absence of the other party, he... occasionally felt a little lonely and uncomfortable.

——Sure enough, he's used to having this little guy around him making noise and acting like a spoiled child, right?

Not knowing that this parting made his host realize his importance, Qiao Qiao blinked, and calmly explained the reason why he went to the central star: "Uncle Xu took me to check my mental power level."

After all, even though his host was still a child, Qiao Qiao didn't dare to underestimate him at all.In order to gain the trust of the other party, Little Demon is not going to tell some clumsy lies in front of Mandel—of course, he still has to conceal his true level of spiritual power.

Hearing what Qiao Qiao said, Mandel frowned: "Go to the central star for an inspection?"

—— Immediately, he realized that this inspection was not just a simple inspection, and he felt uneasy and anxious in his heart.

Qiao Qiao is indeed smart, so smart that he is ashamed of himself, but Mandel has never thought about what it means behind such smartness.After all, Mandel himself is only a minor child, and his experience and life experience are still superficial. He can't grasp the most critical issues at the first time like Xu Zhengjie and Chen Chuan.

——Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Mandel still doesn’t pay much attention to Jojo. At best, he just regards him as a well-behaved and cute child, and gives him proper attention and help, but he won’t do everything for him. Intend.

"What about the results of the inspection?" Mandel asked quietly, suppressing the worries in his heart.

Qiao Qiao felt the worry of her host, but still raised her chin silly and sweetly, looking very proud: "My mental strength is S!"

For such an outrageously high level of spiritual power, Mandel was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly sank—he always felt that Qiao Qiao had an inexplicable fate with him, and he must have a similar background and also live in an orphanage, but he never thought of it. Even the spiritual power is so "destined".

Thinking of what happened to him, Mandel closed his eyes forbearance.If possible, he hopes that such "fate" will no longer exist, and Qiao Qiao is just an ordinary, slightly smarter child.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.Mandel didn't want Jojo to step into his footsteps at all, because too strong mental power caused disasters.

Suppressing the icy flame of hatred surging in his heart, Mandel nodded slightly, and his tone was light: "Don't tell anyone about this result casually, you know?"

"I know ~ Uncle Xu told me that too!" Feeling Mandel's violent mood swings, Qiaoqiao reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, and smiled sweetly, her big black eyes were full of trust, "But Brother Mandel is not someone else~"

——The little devil who is eager to get closer to his host will never miss any chance to gain favor.

Sure enough, Mandel's chest, which was icy cold because of the memories of the past, suddenly warmed up and softened to the point where Jojo was attached.He couldn't help showing a smile, and raised his hand to stroke Jojo's soft black hair: "Well, you're so cute."

Qiaoqiao narrowed his eyes, happily rubbed his host's palm, and cautiously put forward a test: "Has Brother Mandel tested his mental strength?"

"...Well, I've tested it." Mandelton withdrew his hand, his expression calmed down again, "The last time I tested my mental strength was when I was ten years old."

Ten years old... This seems to be a sensitive number. Qiaoqiao remembered that Zhang Jie mentioned that Mandel was about ten years old when he came to the orphanage.

Although instruments to test mental strength have been invented, this test is still very expensive for an ordinary family.Therefore, most parents will not test the mental strength of their young children whose mental strength is still in the growth stage, but will wait until the child becomes an adult, and then the state will test it uniformly.

If Qiao Qiao's guess is correct, Mandel should still be with his extraordinary parents and relatives when he tested his mental strength this time, and his suddenly indifferent tone when he mentioned the test showed that this test was more important to Mandel. Words have a very special significance, and may even become an important turning point in his life.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Qiao decided to continue asking.After all, he has been with Mandel for a long time now, and has gained a lot of favorability. Qiaoqiao feels that he should be able to test the "little secret" of being close to Mandel now.
