Chapter 271: Ultrasonic Ears

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There had been five spirit energy tides so far. The first three had happened in sequence, and the fourth tide had happened after quite a long time. Besides, during that spirit energy tide, countless lands and mystic realms had appeared in the world, and the roads to other cities had been blocked by them. The cities in China had been as difficult to connect as they were now.

Although it had happened in a different time, the worry and concern one felt about their family members was the same. Therefore, when the fourth spirit energy tide had just started, many powerhouses had wanted to return to their cities to protect their families.

?

Among those who had wanted to return, some had formed teams, and some had ventured into the wilderness alone. It was not only the powerhouses who had ventured into the wilderness. Ordinary people had also wanted to protect their wives and parents. Even if they did not have any abilities, they’d still found ways to go back home.

However, the wilderness that had just been through mutation was a dangerous place. There was a large number of freaks there from the alternate world, freaks who had awakened, as well as the Yunmeng Marsh that covered hundreds of thousands of miles. Countless lives were lost on the journey back home due to the various mysterious and strange changes in the wilderness.

Besides, the towns that were disconnected also had a negative influence on the soldiers who had gathered from all over the country. They also had homes and were worried about their families and the people back in their hometowns.

In order to keep their morale up and make effective use of manpower, as well as the unbroken communication lines, the state had established a points system in times of crisis.

The so-called points system meant that the entire country would be under military control, and people could find work in their own cities without returning to the base camp.

Every job gave people points. With those points, people could get food, money, and training resources, and they could make use of the uninterrupted communication channels to spend the points on their family members. They could use the points that they had earned to buy supplies for their wives and friends or get them permission to enter the safety zone.

Lin Yao remembered that back then, a titled warlord had been cultivating in the alternate world. He had advanced to a king during the Spirit Energy Revival but had been unable to return home. His family had been in a small city that was in a very dangerous situation.

In the end, he had killed countless freaks and exchanged enough points for a titled warlord to lead a small battle group and get stationed in the city where his family was located.

‘If the points system is activated, I really won’t have to go back. If I get enough points, it won’t matter whether it is for a powerhouse to guard my parents, escort them here, or ask the country to use spatial capabilities to send them over.’

Of course, regardless of whether he hired people or used spatial abilities to bring his parents here, the points required were shockingly high.

Even if the country did not mobilize its manpower from a faraway city but from a nearby city, it would still be very difficult. After all, in this era, there was a shortage of powerhouses everywhere.

However, this was already the best choice for Lin Yao.

“If the points system is activated, I really won’t have to go back. I could earn points by completing meritorious tasks issued by the country while strengthening myself in Shanghai… Professor, I will listen to you.”

“Very well, wait a minute. I will help you contact some people to conduct a few small experiments.”

Led by Jiang Rong, Lin Yao stayed busy for two more hours in the advanced research institute. In the process, the researchers asked him numerous questions, and some people even cut off a small part of Lin Yao’s tissue for detailed testing.

All this only took two hours. Without Professor Li’s connections in this advanced research institute, Lin Yao would at least have needed to spend a few days here if he had come by himself, and he might not have been able to get the big bosses here to perform the tests.

He was not an ungrateful person. When everything was done, Lin Yao bowed before Professor Li, who was projected on the screen, and said solemnly, “Thank you, Professor. You have helped me a lot this time. If there’s anything that I can do for you in the future, as long as it is within my power, just let me know. This must have cost a lot of money. I still have quite a lot of money, so I will transfer it to you now…”

Seeing that Lin Yao was looking all serious, Professor Li felt very pleased. Although he was a great man who dedicated his heart and soul to the country and he had helped Lin Yao purely to improve the country’s strength, he was glad that Lin Yao was not an ungrateful person.

However, in the end, he did not take Lin Yao’s money.

“As long as you can contribute to protecting China, my efforts will not be in vain.” After finishing his words, he realized that Lin Yao was still very grateful. He thought for a while and said, “You don’t need to be so grateful to me. I help you with your development, but at the same time, you are also an experiment sample, so I can collect a lot of data. In the past, it was difficult for us to get people to go through tests and experiments, and we had to pay them for it.”

Since the professor said so, Lin Yao made him a promise.

“Anyway, Professor, thank you for your help this time. If you need help with anything in the future, just let me know.”

After exchanging a few more words with the professor and thanking Senior Sister Jiang Rong, Lin Yao came out of the research institute. By then, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon.

After coming out, Lin Yao did not search for the girls but touched his ear instead.

During the tests, Lin Yao had also observed himself on the attribute interface and had discovered the reason the observable distance doubled even when the Electromagnetic Induction had not been enhanced.

His ears had mutated, and he had acquired the ability to receive electromagnetic waves like bats. Lin Yao named this ability [Ultrasonic Ears].

The original Electromagnetic Induction was a psychic power, while the Ultrasonic Ears was a physical mutation ability. When the two were combined, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred, which doubled Lin Yao’s Electromagnetic Induction range.

Of course, what Lin Yao cared about was not purely the Ultrasonic Ears. Although they were good, they were not worthy of so much attention. Lin Yao was excited about something else.

‘If I was able to obtain the Ultrasonic Ears just by persisting for a minute, what would I obtain if I persisted for longer? Would I be able to have diamond talents like super physical talents, including a body of steel, gods’ descent, three heads and six arms, and the Vajra impervious body through my own efforts?

‘There are also elemental abnormal abilities and mental abnormal abilities. Can I obtain them through electromagnetic radiation?’

Right now, Lin Yao already understood that the strongest use of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was not strengthening oneself but helping oneself acquire various extraordinary abilities. Of course, this was the electromagnetic radiation version of the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Lin Yao had no idea what the original version of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, that was meant for someone to cultivate to become an immortal, looked like.

There was another possibility.

‘With the increase in talents, has my physical limit increased as well?’

Lin Yao stood at the entrance of the laboratory, looking puzzled. As he was thinking hard, he saw the girls running toward him.

Lin Yao was jolted out of his thoughts by the arrival of the girls. He soon noticed that their expressions were odd.

Yan Yu’er was fine, but Qin Xue, Yin Meng, and Yin Yin looked upset.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t I tell you that it takes some time to conduct the experiments?”

Lin Yao was the only person who could enter the out-of-bounds Room No. 13. When the development was over and he had started chatting with Professor Li, he had been worried that the girls would have to wait for a long time and he had contacted them by phone. In that case, they should not be worried.

Qin Xue had yet to answer Lin Yao’s question, and Yin Meng and Yin Yin rushed forward in a hurry.

“Ah Yao, Tianhai City has been attacked again. More than 100,000 people have died!”

The two girls who were talking were on the verge of crying. After listening to them, Lin Yao also understood why they were so anxious. They were worried about their family in Tianhai City.

“Is your family okay?”

“The disaster did not take place in our area. Our mother is fine, but the turmoil there has not subsided. Our mother is still outside the safety zone!”

The two girls broke into tears. Lin Yao also frowned, feeling puzzled. “Didn’t she go into the safety zone? Let the higher management of Tianhai City know about my victory over Yuan Hao. Tell them that I have not forgotten my promise to Tianhai City and they should help on my account.”

Lin Yao, who made this statement, sounded arrogant and full of himself. However, he really felt that the higher management of Tianhai City would do so on his account. After all, he merely wanted someone to be sent into the safety zone.

Although it was difficult to enter the safety zone in times of crisis, he already had the gold warlord’s capabilities, which was equivalent to the strength of the highest management in Tianhai City. Besides, he had much more potential than them. Compared to him, they were like fireflies, and he was the sun. As long as they had sound thoughts and they did not have a feud with Lin Yao, they would naturally do him a small favor.

However, Yin Meng and Yin Yin still looked forlorn and sad. In the end, Yan Yu’er spoke up. “There is a place for their mother in Tianhai City’s safety zone. However, their maternal and paternal grandparents are all outside. Their father died in battle, and their mother doesn’t want to go to the safety zone, as she wants to remain outside to take care of the elderly.”

“Damn!”

Lin Yao exploded in anger upon hearing Yan Yu’er’s words. Tianhai City might be able to allow one person to enter the safety zone on his account. However, he was not capable enough to arrange for four elders to go to the safety zone.

Besides, something else also occurred to Lin Yao. Yin Yin and Yin Meng were concerned about their mother, and their mother was concerned about their maternal and paternal grandparents. Their grandparents were also naturally worried for their other children and grandchildren.

Given that everyone was inter-related, forget about a safety zone. Lin Yao would have to save the entire Tianhai City so that everyone would be reassured.

“Does your mother want me to arrange for your grandparents to enter the safety zone?”

While speaking of this, Lin Yao sounded upset. However, he had not expected what happened next.

“No, my mother gave her place to a child in the family. She is going to take care of my grandparents outside. I called just now, and she said that she has entered the safety zone and told us not to worry too much. I found it odd, as she kept reminding us to take good care of ourselves. I checked with my cousin and found out that my mother didn’t go in at all.

“Neither did my grandparents. They each have a place in the safety zone, but they gave their places to the kids in the family.”

The Yin Family still had some power in Tianhai City considering that they had been able to send the two girls to work for Lin Yao. In fact, it was not difficult to obtain a few places in the heavily protected safety zone, but in the end, the choices of the adults and the elderly were similar. They had sent the children into the safety zone and they had remained outside.

Now that he knew this, Lin Yao really did not know what to say when looking at the two people who were sobbing in front of him.

He could not complain about their mother. There was nothing wrong with her choice. In fact, if she had really abandoned her parents and the four elders and gone to the safety zone by herself, although Lin Yao would not have said anything bad about her, deep down he would have looked down on her and would never have treated her as his mother-in-law. Both Yin Yin and Yin Meng would have been affected as well.

However, although he respected that person now, he could not help them at all.

The Yin Family was definitely a large family in Tianhai City, and with so many children in the family, there was no way they could send everyone into the safety zone.

At the same time, Lin Yao’s first priority was to protect Ninghai City instead of Tianhai City.

His parents were still in Ninghai City. He believed that even though his parents had not said anything, they must be worried about their relatives and the friends they were on good terms with. They did not tell Lin Yao about their concerns to avoid pressuring him.

‘Now, I finally understand why the Taoist priest wants to sever all ties with the mortal world and to go into the deep mountains and the oldest forests to cultivate.

‘Once someone has ties with the mortal world, one will not be freed and will have many commitments and worries.’

One could not transcend worldliness, as they were attached to their family, friends, fellow disciples, teachers, and all kinds of connections. According to a Chinese myth, Biyou Palace was a place where all the immortals went to, but it was also affected by worldly ties. In the end, even Taoist Tongtian was not immune to them and had been taken down by the many disciples. action

Even saints were not immune to it, so what else could Lin Yao do?

Lin Yao frowned, as he felt really helpless.

At that moment, Qin Ya appeared at the entrance of the research institute. She asked Qin Xue why the two girls were kneeling on the floor and crying, while Lin Yao frowned from the side.

After understanding what had happened, she frowned slightly but soon relaxed.

She looked at the two girls and hesitated slightly. In the end, she still decided to speak up.

“Mr. Lin Yao, a quota in the safety zone is indeed insufficient. The city should be able to give them three places. We can get in touch with the personnel of Tianhai City and tell them that the Yin Family can decide what to do with the other two places, but the third place must go to the twins’ mother.”

Lin Yao’s eyes lit up at her suggestion. Yin Yin and Yin Meng, who were on the floor, stopped crying and shot Qin Ya a grateful glance before looking at Lin Yao with anticipation.

“Sure, let’s do what you say. You can make the arrangements.”

At this point, Lin Yao had to admit that Qin Ya surpassed him a hundred times in terms of interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills.

‘Unfortunately, she is unwilling to devote all her time to assisting me.’

While Lin Yao was sighing to himself, Qin Ya had already spoken to the higher management of Tianhai City. Three minutes later, she nodded at Lin Yao, confirming that the problem was solved, and updated Lin Yao on the situation.

“They have given their promise. However, Mr. Lin Yao, you only have three places in the safety zone of ??Tianhai City. If you want to get more places, you will have to buy them with points.”

Yin Yin and Yin Meng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words. They looked at each other and bowed deeply before Lin Yao, saying at the same time, “Ah Yao, thank you. We will do whatever you ask us in the future.”

“Cough, cough…”

Lin Yao coughed in embarrassment when they said they’d be willing to do anything. Qin Xue blushed slightly, but Qin Ya remained indifferent.

Lin Yao’s embarrassed look quickly faded as he noticed that Yin Yin and Yin Meng still looked heartbroken, even though their problem had been solved.

After thinking about it briefly, Lin Yao understood that the two women were still worried about their family.

They were naturally the most concerned about their mother. However, in addition to their mother, they loved their paternal and maternal grandparents as well.

Their mother was safe, but they could not feel happy, as they had to sacrifice the four elders.

As if sensing the sad atmosphere surrounding them, the two girls hurriedly said, “Ah Yao, don’t mind us. You have done all you could.”

“Yes, we are already very satisfied that we are able to save our mother. Many people can’t even enter the safety zone and have to live in anxiety and fear outside… Besides, even if they are outside the safety zone, they might not encounter danger.”

The safety zone was completely different from the outside area, and they were very worried about their loved ones. However, both of them were sensible and knew that it would not be good to be too greedy.

On the contrary, Lin Yao felt a bit embarrassed. He was a male chauvinist. In his mind, the two women belonged to him. It was not good to have such chauvinistic thoughts, but these were his true feelings. At the same time, he felt possessive and responsible for them.

After thinking about what Qin Ya had said just now, Lin Yao said, “I understand that Tianhai City allows people to exchange points for places. What do they want to do with the points?”
