After completing the inspection, Xue Wenli took Su Yu on a tour around the office building.
During the tour, she introduced Su Yu in detail to the structure of the “Relevant Department”.
After all, Su Yu was the first known Blue Star Human with actual strength within the known scope.
Xue Wenli wanted to draw him into the Department and make him an official member.
But during the introduction, she found that Su Yu was not interested in becoming an official member and decided not to extend an invitation after some thought.
At the door of the storeroom on the 8th floor of the office building,
Xue Wenli was holding a cylindrical metal container which was about 20 cm in diameter and about 30 cm tall.
“This is the spiritual energy I told you about. Try absorbing it when you get back. If your strength increases or if there are any abnormalities during the process of absorption, remember to call me ASAP, okay?” “Understood.” Su Yu took the spiritual energy container.
“So, can I go back now?”
“Yes, drive carefully on the road.” Xue Wenli replied.
“Don’t worry.”
Su Yu bid farewell to Xue Wenli and left the office building.
An hour after Su Yu left,
Xue Wenli walked into office on the east side of the 8th floor.
She looked troubled now, as if she was indecisive over something.
An “Evolution” game helmet was placed on the office table. This was Xue Wenli’s helmet.
She didn’t hesitate for long and put on the helmet to enter the game.
Soon, a player named Role [Katyusha], a Level 4 Archer, appeared on the streets of the second Novice Village.
Xue Wenli was one of the first batch of players who bought the game helmet and was fortunate to have grabbed the name “Katyusha”.
However, due to being extremely busy in reality, she is only level 4 now.
Not long after logging in, Xue Wenli received a private chat from Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard: “Wen Li, how did it go with Su Yu?”
Xue Wenli: “Today’s contact with him went very smoothly…”
She briefly summarized the process of testing the power of Su Yu’s spells today.
But when she got to the end, she became troubled again: “Zhong Feng, there is something you must know.”
“Go ahead.”
“As you know, to prevent the Skuru from breaking the rules again and causing trouble, we have installed a psychic wave scanner at the entrance of the new base. The scanner also scanned the conditions inside Su Yu.”
“Hmm.”
“According to the results given by the scanner, there is nothing abnormal inside Su Yu’s body, and he is no different from a normal person.”
“Then?”
“Professor Shen and several other biologists have proposed to kill and dissect
Su Yu. Through dissection, they can figure out what changes will occur to the ‘biophysical traits after actualization of strength’, and at the same time, explore how Su Yu releases spells.”
Without thinking, Snow Leopard flatly refused: “Kill and dissect? Impossible!”
Xue Wenli: “Don’t rush to oppose. According to Professor Shen, sacrificing Su Yu to figure out the things I mentioned earlier would be more in line with the interest of all humans!”
“Although Su Yu is the only living entity with actualized strength at the moment, and though scientists have always advocated precision and would not do such inhumane things.”
“But we’re running out of time! We only have one year!”
“Professor Shen says that it’s time to take daring risks. Instead of heading towards doom cautiously, we might as well stake everything on one throw!”
Once Xue Wenli got to this point, she unintentionally thought of the classic “trolley problem”:
A madman tied five innocent people to a trolley track, and a runaway trolley was heading towards them and would run them over in a short time.
Luckily, you can pull a lever to divert the trolley onto another track.
However, the problem is that the madman tied another person to the other track.
Given the above situation, would you pull the lever?
Now, they had a similar challenge, should they sacrifice Su Yu for the greater
good?
But Snow Leopard disagreed. He quickly replied:
“Wen Li, I ask you, if today you agree to their request to sacrifice Su Yu, and tomorrow someone holding the flag of ‘humanity’ asks to sacrifice you, would you agree?”
“This…”
“Looking at the bigger picture, if in the future the Singer Civilization wants to sacrifice our home, the Blue Star, and claims that it is for the benefit of the entire galaxy, should we also agree?”
Xue Wenli replied: “We would definitely disagree.”
Snow Leopard: “So, we must not cross this line.”
“Moreover, can the interests of humanity be represented by the words of a few biologists? Do they think that all human thoughts are the same as theirs?”
“And as the first Blue Star Human with manifested power, who can guarantee that Su Yu will not create more value if he were alive?”
“Sacrificing oneself is noble, waving the flag of ‘human interest’ to sacrifice others is absolutely disgraceful!”
“So, we must firmly oppose this! We must stand our ground.”
Xue Wenli: “I understand, from today, I will pay more attention to protecting Su Yu’s privacy.”
Snow Leopard: “And there is also the matter of the phantom. The domestic accident rate has been increasing recently, and I can’t shake the feeling that something big is on the horizon.”
Xue Wenli: “Zhu Guorui expressed willingness to step in. In fact, I’m going to contact Su Yu within the next couple of days to have him deal with some events that are suspected to be phantoms…”
As Xue Wenli and Zhong Feng were chatting privately, Su Yu returned to his rented apartment.
Sitting on the sofa, Su Yu opened a metal container containing Spiritual Energy.
The milky Spiritual Energy emerged like fog and Su Yu quickly sat cross-legged to absorb it.
Five minutes later.
“Ding! From absorption of Spiritual Energy, you gained 866 Experience
Points.”
Whew—
After absorbing it, Su Yu exhaled deeply, and the magic storage center in the brain had solidified more.
Pure Spiritual Energy must not be absorbed in excess. This would destabilize the foundation and make it harder to break through bottlenecks when reaching a higher level.
But the term “excess” refers to a quantity that would make one level up twice or thrice all at once. The quantity he absorbed now was minimal and perfectly safe.
Su Yu sent a brief text to Xue Wenli via his phone, describing his feelings after absorbing the Spiritual Energy.
After doing all of this, he put on a helmet and entered the game.
Once online, Su Yu’s figure appeared at the entryway of the Goldfinch Royal Palace.
The current in-game time was 12 pm. There remained 90 minutes before his scheduled time to release a task with the players.
Given the short amount of time, Su Yu didn’t plan to do a task at Tina’s place. Instead, he planned to spend the time leveling up in the wilderness.
Riding on Dima and walking on the city road of Goldfinch, there were already scattered players around.
But the players neither greeted each other nor interrupted others. They remained busy with their own activities.
There were quite a few players leveling up in the 11-12 level monster area outside the city.
However, the overall number of players was still considerably few.
Su Yu arrived at the level 20 [Magic Spring Mountain Cat] monster area.
He casted the [Insight] spell and looked at the mountain cats to get more detailed information. [Magic Spring Mountain Cat Lv. 20]
Health Points: 1650
Attack Power: 52
Skills: [Pounce], [Ferocious Bite], [Cheetah’s Agility (Passive)]
Brief Introduction: Magic Spring Mountain Cats are terrifying creatures. They have sharp large teeth, and their Magic Spring Cat Claws are full of elasticity and juicy flavor.”
Su Yu returned Dima’s horse voucher to the backpack. With his high moving speed, he began to level up by pulling the mountain cats in the valley..
