I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 153: The Armored Train

“…”

Upon seeing that Lin Yao was speechless, Qin Ya didn’t continue to agitate him. Instead, she nodded at Lin Yao, who was lying in the healing chamber.

“You did a good job pushing the team into the quarterfinals given your personal capacity. This is excellent publicity material. However, you don’t have to go all out like that in the subsequent battles.”

“Why? Doesn’t leading the team to the final victory like that make for a better script?”

“This script is indeed good, but you won’t be able to do that. You were able to get into the quarterfinals this time due to the teams from the Ultimate Boxing Dojo and the Sky Blade Dojo. If No. 1 High School hadn’t spent most of its energy fighting against them, you guys would have been ousted long ago. At present, those who made it to the quarterfinals are all powerhouses. Each of them is stronger than you guys.”

“They are stronger than me now, but if everything goes according to my plan, my combat power won’t be inferior to that of warlords and elite warlords.”

There were top students and bottom-feeders in every class. The same applied to warlords. After the Iron Body reached 100%, one could progress to the Silver Body to become a warlord.

However, this type of warlord was the most common. They had mediocre strength and almost no potential for further development. Such warlords typically would not possess any good profound meaning, and most of them would be beaten by young geniuses who could fight someone of a higher level.

If they had enough physical accumulation not to advance, they could continue to accumulate and then advance later when they reached Iron Body 300%. When that time came, one could be called an elite warlord.

Based on the various mythologies and information he knew, Lin Yao was confident that he was capable of becoming an elite warlord if he could make the angel descend on his body.

However, he was rebuked by Qin Ya after saying this.

“You won’t be able to win. All four players from No. 1 High School are elite warlords. Even if you are capable of rivaling them, what about your teammates? They will only drag you down.”

“I will win.”

At the sight of the stubborn and confident Lin Yao, Qin Ya didn’t continue to argue with him. She even thought that this was fairly good too.

‘If losing once can make you understand that there’s always someone better, it’s not bad either.

‘Well, consolation after a failure is important as well. When that time comes, I need to be gentler in order to score some points.’

Qin Ya was very calm and had already made plans for Lin Yao’s failure.

As the two of them conversed, the outcome of the dispute between the girls outside had also been determined. Yan Yu’er had successfully stopped the rest of them.

However, before she could come in, Qin Ya had ordered the nurse in the room.

“Kick all those girls out. Tell them the patient needs to rest and doesn’t need anyone else to take care of him.”

After speaking, Qin Ya found a place to sit down and started to work remotely, while Lin Yao continued to lie in the healing chamber.

An hour later, the seriously wounded Lin Yao was already able to move due to the healing effect of the Water of Life and Light Healing.

Although he was unable to fight yet, Lin Yao was ready to be discharged from the hospital.

This request made Qin Ya frown. action

“Why do you need to leave now? Don’t tell me you’re going to undergo electric shock development in such a condition?”

“Of course not. I’m not going for electric shock development today. Let’s continue to distribute the supplies. As for my injuries, they will heal on their own when I’m outside.”

“In that case…”

After tapping the table and contemplating this for a while, Qin Ya agreed with Lin Yao.

After leaving through the side door of the hospital, Lin Yao was still very weak. While sitting in Qin Ya’s car, he experienced a feeling of loss, as he could not undergo electric shock development.

However, at the thought of being able to gain energy points again immediately, he felt slightly better.

This way, Qin Ya led the weak Lin Yao to the various welfare facilities in Ninghai City again.

While they were leaving, they didn’t notice Yan Yu’er standing near the side door and watching the two of them get into the car with a scorching gaze.

“What an adulterous pair!”

…

Afterward, Lin Yao was busy serving people. While he was at it, he felt that helping children had the greatest impact on contributing to society. Qin Ya also supported this view. Therefore, they mostly visited various orphanages and schools.

At last, after an entire afternoon and another busy night, Lin Yao had made up for most of the deficiencies of the school facilities in Ninghai City.

As a result, he’d obtained a total of 15,000 grams of energy and spent more than 1.5 million yuan.

Of course, what Lin Yao did was check and make up for the deficiencies. Most of these things had already been settled by the state and the private sector, which made Lin Yao feel a little helpless.

‘I just discovered that my greatest difficulty when it comes to collecting energy is that the country is too stable!’

Lin Yao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry over this. After a busy night, when the sun’s first ray broke across the sky, Lin Yao’s body had already recovered fully.

He had light energy in his body, and the Sun God Pattern on his chest had also accumulated a lot of light energy. Therefore, Lin Yao didn’t feel any fatigue due to the physical labor. In fact, his body would heal on its own when he was busy.

It was normal for his body to recover after one night. Although he still felt a little sluggish mentally, he felt fairly good. Thus, Lin Yao asked Qin Ya to drive him to Professor Li’s research institute.

“Take a break first. I just need an hour… Why don’t you rest for a longer time?”

“No, one hour is enough.”

After speaking, Qin Ya let out a laugh. “Don’t worry about me. A silver warlord can survive for a month on water alone.”

“Okay then.”

After shrugging, Lin Yao entered the research institute and looked for Jiang Rong. She was sorting out the expenditure accounts of the research institute. Lin Yao was surprised to see a huge electricity bill of 120,000 yuan in one of the records.

“Are the electricity costs that high?”

“Junior Brother, you’re here.”

Jiang Rong was very happy to hear Lin Yao’s voice. Upon following Lin Yao’s line of sight, she also seemed to discover something. She then smiled and said, “You’re not the only one who uses the electricity. There are many machines in the Professor’s research institute. Those make up the bulk of the electricity bill. Your electricity bill is only about 10,000 yuan.”

“10,000 yuan?”

Lin Yao was really surprised. He hadn’t expected to consume so few resources. Something even more surprising occurred afterward.

“10,000 yuan is not considered a small sum. Ordinary thunder geniuses can only persist for a few minutes at a time, and they come here once every 10 to 14 days. They consume less than 100 yuan of electricity per month.”

‘Uh…’

After listening to Jiang Rong’s words, Lin Yao had only one thought in his mind.

‘It’s no wonder the country will allow thunder geniuses to practice for free. The costs are too low!’

There were still some expenses involved. Nevertheless, wasn’t it better to use them to win over the thunder geniuses?

While he exclaimed, Lin Yao also knew that Project Thunder God would not disappear. It would only decrease in scale. The electricity power that could be controlled was the future of mankind.

“Ah Yao, did you come here to stimulate your body?”

“Of course. Well, I’m just stimulating the body this time. I’ve been busy for the past two days, and my brain development has been delayed for a while.”

“Okay, we can at most delay it. Brain development cannot be suspended. Although mental strength may seem useless now, when the scale reaches 100, all your efforts will be repaid multifold.”

“There will be qualitative changes when it reaches 100. I got it.”

Lin Yao went through an electric shock as usual. An hour later, Lin Yao, whose body had been cleaned, was slumped in Qin Ya’s car. He was still trembling.

After taking a glance at Lin Yao, Qin Ya didn’t say a word. She just said calmly, turning toward the driver’s seat, “Go to the train station.”

While Lin Yao was being electrocuted, Qin Ya had found them a driver. At the moment, she was sitting and working in the back seat while Lin Yao was resting.

It was quiet throughout the journey. Soon, Lin Yao and Qin Ya arrived at the train station.

The train station in the city looked very normal. However, when the train arrived, Lin Yao discovered that the situation had changed.

The approaching train was full of armor. There were gun barrels on top, runes everywhere, and even accompanying soldiers. All of this signified the dangers outside.

“Let’s go. Is this the first time you’re taking a train?”

“Well, I haven’t been out of the city before. Everything seems normal in the city. I almost forgot that this is a dangerous era.”

“You have to thank our soldiers, armed policemen, the men in black, and the patrollers then. They have to fend off all the dangers. By the way, I’m planning for you to follow the last career path.”

“The patroller path?”

“To be precise, the provincial gold medal patroller path. Of course, this will ultimately depend on your willingness. When you grow up, you can choose to be stationed in one place, start a sect and open a dojo, or become a patroller and guard the entire province. You can also go to the mystic realms and guard the city or start a country in the mystic realm.”

Being stationed at a place and becoming important military personnel, opening a dojo and becoming a martial arts grandmaster, patrolling a province to contain disasters, and founding a country in a mystic realm were all miracles that only one person in a million could accomplish.

After all, mortals were very ordinary, and leading a rushed and normal life was the norm for the majority of people. The smarter ones would start a company or become celebrities. This was already the greatest success for ordinary people.

However, Lin Yao could achieve all of the above without the help of others. This was the reason Qin Ya had invested tens of millions of yuan in him to begin with.

If she became friends with such a character and groomed him from a young age… when Lin Yao fully grew up, the benefits of the Qin Family would not be something that money could measure, especially in this dangerous era.

Of course, there were risks to every investment, and Lin Yao could become depraved or fail along the way. It was seemingly better to invest in a powerhouse that had already grown up.

However, there was no way Qin Ya could come into contact with those people, not even if her father were to put his entire company at stake.

Qin Ya valued Lin Yao’s talent. Of course, she thought even more highly of his willpower. He could endure 40 minutes of torture during the electric shock. In fact, Qin Ya was willing to invest in someone that was ‘harsh’ on himself even though he didn’t have any talent.

Yan Yu’er’s mother had the same foresight as Qin Ya. She seemed impulsive because she had sacrificed her daughter’s innocence that soon.

Nevertheless, that mother knew very well that there was no time for hesitation. Yan Yu’er or the Yan Family would have a slim chance of doing that when Lin Yao became famous and successful in the future.

Therefore, she had made a risky move. Still, the outcome didn’t seem that bad. Although Lin Yao hadn’t taken Yan Yu’er as his wife despite taking her virginity, he had promised to help Yan Yu’er in the future so long as she was obedient.

Lin Yao was unaware of the game behind all of this. He had been an ordinary young man in his past life and he’d just started out on his path to success in this life. He didn’t have the perception of a sly old fox yet, and he only believed in one thing—becoming powerful by practicing martial arts.

Although this mentality was somewhat crude and simple, it was correct. This was a world where individual strength ruled, and plans would fail in the face of absolute power.

While sitting by the car window, Lin Yao looked at the scenery of the wilderness outside. Unfortunately, seemingly to ward off dangers, all the windows of the carriages were made of frosted glass. Lin Yao could barely catch a glimpse of the outside world and thus didn’t pay that much attention to it. Instead, he thought of something and asked Qin Ya about it.

“Qin Ya, don’t you think the police have been out too frequently during the past two nights?”
