Chapter 18: Uncle Liao's Reminder
Fanghong was red-eyed and nervously looked at Xiaoyue, "Gaoyue Gaoyue"Xiao Yue was still unresponsive. Lu Fang reached out to help her up. As soon as his hand touched her shoulder, Xiao Yue trembled a..."Are there many other organizations like this one in China" Wang Lin looked at Uncle Liao in confusion.
"Yes, there are countless small organizations domestically. Some have only two or three people, but large organizations are limited to three: the Association, the Military, and Dawn."
Uncle Liao picked up his water cup and took a sip, then continued, "The association usually handles domestic affairs or small-scale overseas matters. The military mainly deals with large-scale overseas matters, while the Dawnbreakers are just a bunch of rats."
"Mouse droppings" Chen Yen-nian couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Liao saw Chen Yen-nian's inquisitive eyes and said, "Why are you still here This is not something ordinary people should hear. Go, go, go, get out of here."
"This is my house! You guys are still talking about this in front of me, and you dare to discuss it I don't care! Get to the point right now, or I won't leave! Just tell me!"
Chen Yen-nian, hearing Lao Liao ask him to back off, flew into a rage and cursed vehemently. He didn't care about what he shouldn't listen to and stubbornly decided to eavesdrop anyway.
"Lao Chen, curiosity killed the cat. Some things are not meant for you to know." Liao Shu said solemnly to Chen Yannian.
Looking at Uncle Liao's expression, he knew Old Liao wasn't joking. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Damn it! I've never wanted to awaken more than right now. What the hell, why can't I just awaken!"
Watching Chen Yen-nian's departing figure, Liao Shu followed him to the door, making sure he wasn't eavesdropping. He carefully closed the door and sat back down again.
"Dawnbreaker is a morally gray organization. They act on their own desires, value freedom above all else, but some believe that after awakening, they are superior to others and deserve things ordinary people can't have. Therefore, they start using their powers to gain personal benefits."
"If they hadn't followed the rules set by the Association, and their abilities hadn't been hidden from ordinary people, the Association would have found a way to eradicate them long ago."
"So that's how it is. Will they fight for the country then" Wang Lin asked again.
“This kind of thing isn't necessarily true, but on the outside, they are quite good. They haven't done anything disloyal.”
In simple terms, they are a group of greedy people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. So if you encounter them, don't attract their attention in any way, otherwise, you'll be harassed incessantly. Unless you kill everyone who might interest them.
"Well, I understand. So Uncle Liao usually stays at the military base all the time"
"Yes, when I'm not busy, I'm always at the barracks. I spent my whole life there; living in a city now feels strange."
Wang Lin looked at Uncle Liao, feeling as if he had some regrets. When he said he wasn't used to living in the city, his face clearly showed a complex expression.
But Wang Lin didn't ask any further, after all, this matter was obviously not something he could solve.
Wang Lin felt a natural pressure emanating from Liao Shu, and curiously asked, "Uncle Liao, what realm are you at now"
"Hee hee, Uncle Liao, I'm a powerful cultivator of the Unity Realm, you know. How about it, do you want to take Uncle Liao as your goal" He looked at Wang Lin with a smug expression.
"Okay, let's aim to defeat Uncle Liao first and start working hard. However, I estimate that my level will improve relatively slowly."
Wang Lin initially had bright eyes, but then as if he thought of something, he started to look downcast again.
"What's wrong Is there a problem with your practice Can you tell Uncle Liao about it Maybe I can give you some advice."
"You see, my cultivation speed is directly linked to how many deliveries I make. But I heard that the official has implemented a new policy requiring door-to-door delivery. This means I won't be able to deliver as many packages each day, which will significantly impact my cultivation progress."
"It's not a big deal. The progress of cultivation isn't just about accumulating quantity, but also about elevating quality. So don't worry too much. If the quantity isn't sufficient, consider how to improve the quality. You might see better results that way."
Wang Lin frowned in thought, "How can I improve the quality Should I improve the service quality I'll try it tomorrow."
Uncle Liao saw Wang Lin silent, and continued, "The path of cultivation is not the only one. If one road doesn't work, why not try another Just like life, if the path ahead is blocked, would you still bump your head against it"
"Well, thank you Uncle Liao for clearing things up. I was overthinking things. In the future, I'll try other paths and choose the one that suits me best."
"Well, as long as you understand. The root of trouble lies in a narrow mind, while an open heart leads to happiness. Sometimes we still need to return to simplicity, which will be very beneficial for your practice."
"The root of all evil is a narrow mind, the door to happiness is an open one," Wang Lin repeated Liao Shu's words, his eyes gradually brightening, dispelling the confusion from before.
He immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and held the cup. "Hearing a few words from Uncle Liao has benefited me greatly. I toast to you."
After finishing, he looked up and drank it all in one gulp. Uncle Liao smiled at Wang Lin and thought to himself, "This boy is incredibly intelligent, a true prodigy! It's a pity he came too late, otherwise I would have taken him back to show those old fellows!"
"The kid still has one question, and I'd like to ask Uncle Liao for some advice."
"Well done, you have quite a few questions. Ask away!"
Hearing that Wang Lin still had questions, Uncle Liao not only didn't feel annoyed but instead the admiration in his eyes grew even stronger.
Opportunities to grasp and ask questions of the strong are not common. Some people, even when given the chance, become timid in the presence of powerful individuals and hesitate to ask many questions.
Ke Wanglin didn't care about so much, he seized the opportunity and kept asking questions. Asking early allowed him to better prepare for the future and avoid many detours. This is the difference between a wise person and a fool.
Given Wang Lin's current cultivation level, he doesn't encounter strong cultivators often. Therefore, he cherishes this opportunity immensely and is determined to eliminate all his doubts.
"I'm not quite sure how to best utilize my abilities to achieve good results. Do you have any suggestions"
After finishing, he explained his abilities to Uncle Liao again. It was because Lao Er liked sleeping too much now that he couldn't even summon him.
Upon hearing about Wang Lin's abilities, Uncle Liao was so excited that he jumped to his feet. His chair flew backward because of the contraction and expansion of his leg muscles, but he didn't notice it at all.
He stared at Wang Lin with bloodshot eyes, taking several deep breaths before barely suppressing the excitement in his heart. "Divine technique! This is a divine technique! With a little development, it could unleash tremendous power!"
"But all I've found so far is that he can control my body and the things I touch. I don't see any other abilities. " Wang Lin couldn't understand why Uncle Liao was reacting so strongly.
"You don't know a damn thing! Do you know how powerful this ability is Even if it only allows you to control objects that are in physical contact with you, it could still be effective in combat. It might even allow you to turn the tables and win."
"And given the circumstances, his detachment from his body seems almost certain. If he can detach, then it's truly unstoppable! You know about the art of wielding objects with your mind, right Because you two are in sync, your mastery over objects is effortless!"
“Or he could attack from a distance, being in an energy state with no physical form. This means he’s immune to all physical damage. You know what that means It's like having invincibility! He can hit others, but nobody can hit him!”
"You need to know that most attacks are physical damage!"
"Or maybe he could directly invade someone's mind and launch a psychic attack, which is a psychic attack after all. It's universally recognized as the most bizarre form of attack."
"There are plenty more uses for it, you little rascal. Just enjoy your luck."
Uncle Liao looked at Wang Lin with envy, jealousy, and hatred. However, after a moment's thought, he reminded him, "But there is one thing you must remember: in the future, do your best to keep your abilities secret, don't tell anyone. The more people who know, the more dangerous you are, and the more dangerous it will be for those who know."
"Why" Wang Lin was still thinking about waiting until his strength grew before starting his grand scheme of showing off. Hearing what Uncle Liao said, how could he show off in the future
"In this world, there are too many strange and bizarre abilities. It's not impossible for someone to have the ability to transfer abilities. Moreover, there are many people who like to hunt down geniuses. If you want to live a little longer, from now on, just swallow this matter deep in your gut."
"Understood, Uncle Liao. I will keep your words in mind."
"Go get your master over here. We'll stop here for today." Liao Shu rubbed his eyebrows and muttered, "This liquor is quite potent."
"Okay, Uncle Liao, please wait a moment." At this time, in Wang Lin's heart, Uncle Liao was already equal to his master in status, so he was even more respectful.
Soon, Chen Yannan walked into the restaurant and said with a sullen face, "Is it over"
"Haha, we finished talking a long time ago. I was just chatting happily with Xiao Wang and forgot about you." Uncle Liao seemed to particularly like teasing Chen Yannian, deliberately saying he forgot him to irritate him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yanyan was a powder keg, igniting at the slightest touch. He yelled at Uncle Liao, "Do I not know you Even when eating **, you don't forget to lick the hands of others. Is there anything else, or are you leaving Don't delay me and my dear apprentice from drinking."
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. I had a comfortable drink today, so I'm going to withdraw first!" Uncle Liao wasn't angry at all, instead he was particularly happy because Chen Yansheng was angry.
"Walk slowly!" Chen Yannian didn't even look at Uncle Liao, only focusing on serving himself food. When Uncle Liao walked to Wang Lin's side, he reminded Wang Lin again, "Remember, you must keep it a secret!"
Then humming a little tune, he strolled out of Chen Yannian's house.s little brother. Just like Lao Huang, we're always waiting. I'll send you the address first."Wang Lin didn't speak, he just nodded lightly.Matters came to a close, and the three of them turned their...
