Chapter 161: Entering the Dream Again – Changes in The Future
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the next few days, Le Ping’an’s disappearance became a hot topic in Star City Academy.
Law enforcement officers also entered the academy to investigate his disappearance.
During this period, Feng Qi was also questioned by the officers.
For example, how is Le Ping’an usually like?
Did Le Ping’an become enemies with someone in the academy?
Did Le Ping’an exhibit any strange behaviors, or was he mentally depressed, and so on?
lie chose to answer these questions truthfully.
After giving his statement, the law enforcement officers did not suspect him at all, as he had no motive to kill.
In the end, after the law enforcement officers pulled out the surveillance camera footages, they followed Le Ping’an’s route at night and found his shattered phone at the peak of the mountain behind the academy.
After a test, they found that only Le Ping’an’s fingerprints were on it.
After investigating the fresh footprints on the mountain, only found Le Ping’an’s footprints were found as well. It seemed that he had mysteriously disappeared after arriving at the mountain peak at dawn.
The academy’s forum was also in a heated discussion over this matter.
The students’ imaginations ran wild as they came up with countless versions of explanations for Le Ping’an’s disappearance.
Fantasy version: Le Ping’an was taken away in a coffin pulled by nine dragons at the peak of the mountain©.
Xianxia version: Le Ping’an accidentally barged into the mysterious cave at the peak of the mountain and found a divine-level cultivation technique inside. Because a day in the cave is equivalent to a thousand years in reality… He will come out a thousand years later.
Sci-fi version: Le Ping’an accidentally touched a space-time node at the peak of the mountain and transmigrated to the future or ancient times.
Magic version: Le Ping’an brought a cultivation technique into the magical world and began to use the cultivation technique to beat up the magical natives of the other world. From then on, he reached the peak of his life.
ACGN version: Le Ping’an becomes a hero and is summoned by the suffering people of another world to be their savior… The enemy is very likely to be a world-destroying demon king or evil dragon.
Supernatural version: Le Ping’an’s ghost is hovering at the peak of the mountain…
These guesses were all unreliable, and there was no evidence to prove the reason for Le Ping’an’s disappearance.
The investigation had reached a bottleneck.
In order not to affect the students’ studies, only one investigator stayed behind in the end. The rest of the investigators left Star City Academy one after another.
The disappearance of Le Ping’an was basically defined as an unsolved case. Without clear clues, it was impossible to carry out a follow-up investigation.
At this moment, in the academy cafeteria.
While having lunch, Feng Qi was a little distracted.
He felt a trace of guilt about Le Ping’an’s death.
However, the person he felt guilty towards was his student, Le Ping’an, who often discussed cultivation knowledge with him and taught him how to brew Heart Cleansing Wine, not the Le Ping’an who worked for the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Since Le Ping’an was standing on the opposite side of humanity, he was his mortal enemy. There was no possibility of compromise.
He had a clear conscience for killing a spy.
“Brother Qi, are you thinking about Ping’an’s disappearance?” Lin Ran turned to look at him.
“No, I’m thinking about the future of humanity.”
“What’s there to think about? We can’t even see the future of mankind. All we can do is work hard to promote the development of human civilization and create hope for the future.” Lin Ran said with a grin.
“You’re right.” Feng Qi smiled coolly and began to eat in large mouthfuls.
Although Lin Ran and Mu Qing paid attention to Le Pingan’s disappearance, they did not take the incident to heart.
They had very little contact with Le Ping’an, and they had no feelings for him. They were purely classmates.
However, the two of them were very worried about Feng Qi’s emotions and kept comforting him.
A moment later, Lin Ran finished the food on his plate and turned to ask him,
“Brother Qi, have you considered the matter of the Freshmen Team Competition?”
In the face of the question, Feng Qi looked up.
“I’ve been studying the configuration of the battle team recently. I’ll make arrangements after 1 figure it out.”
“I think with Lu Yue around, our class is qualified to rank among top three in the eastern region just based on his combat strength alone. 1 think his strength has already reached the core combat strength of at least an A-grade domain combat team,” Lin Ran said with a smile.
“What is top three? I want to be the champion.”
“If Senior Sister and I are participating, the championship would definitely not be a problem. Unfortunately, we can’t be considered freshmen.” Lin Ran shook his head and sighed.
“If Senior Sister can participate in the competition, does it matter if you participate or not? Are you going to be an accessory? Or are you going to serve tea?”
Hearing the two of them discussing her, Mu Qing quietly pricked up her ears.
“Senior Sister, am 1 right?” Feng Qi smiled at her.
“Yes.” Mu Qing nodded vigorously in agreement before continuing to eat.
“Senior Sister’s strength is hidden too deeply. There’s also Lu Yue. I thought I was strong enough, but I didn’t expect there to be hidden talents all around me… Brother Qi, did you hide your strength? Are you even stronger than Senior Sister?”
As Lin Ran spoke, he sized him up suspiciously.
“I didn’t expect you to find out.”
“Then what’s your strength like?” Lin Ran’s gossipy heart burned, and he immediately asked.
“I can fight ten people like Senior Sister. Do you believe me?”
“You’re bragging!” Hearing Feng Qi’s answer, Lin Ran couldn’t help but boo.
“I believe you.” At this moment, Mu Qing raised her head and said seriously, giving Feng Qi enough face.
After lunch, Feng Qi returned to the dormitory.
Opening his notebook, he began to flip through the future plans recorded in the past few days.
This time, he gave himself two choices.
One:
Form a faction to resist the Science and Technology Research Institute. During this period, he could also join forces with the Scarlet Research Institute to test the true strength of the Science and Technology Research Institute from all aspects.
Hidden danger: The exact strength of the Science and Technology Research Institute is unknown. It’s very likely that the resistance will fail, but if it succeeds, the future world will definitely change drastically.
Note: I’m in the dark and the Science and Technology Research Institute is in the light. I have the initiative.
Two:
Join the Dawn Army to learn Mu Qing’s secret and the truth behind her massacre.
Hidden danger: When the Dawn army is established, it is very likely that I will die early for some reason. I might not achieve anything in this future timeline.
How should 1 choose between the two future timelines? Feng Qi fell into deep thought.
Sitting at desk, he thought for a long time and finally made a decision. He chose the first option.
This future timeline could allow him to understand the background of the Science and Technology Research Institute in detail. If he succeeded, it might change the future.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Hearing the sound, he immediately stood up and walked over to open the door.
Standing at the door were two middle-aged men in Star City Academy’s security uniforms. At this moment, they were sweating profusely and pointed at the three instruments in the cart.
“Student Feng, you ordered these items right?”
“So sorry to trouble you.” When he realized that the alchemy equipment he had bought online had arrived, he immediately thanked them.
Then, with their help, the three instruments were moved into the house.
Before leaving, Feng Qi wanted to give two bottles of drinks to the security uncles, but he was politely rejected.
Closing the door, he began to unwrap the package.
The instruments were all fully assembled, so there was no need to study how to do that.
However, he still washed the three instruments carefully from the inside out according to the instructions.
He still had half a bottle of Heart Cleansing Wine that he had refined last time left. The energy supplemented was enough for him to enter the future dream, but he still wanted to try brewing it himself.
He had already learned all the details from Le Ping’an.
However, he had never done it in practice.
After connecting the power to the three instruments, he took the spiritual materials that had been delivered yesterday from the fridge.
He placed the eight spiritual materials on the desk one by one. Then, he calmed down and began to think carefully about Le Pingan’s operation when he was refining them.
These three instruments were used to measure, refine, and blend.
He first measured the medicinal properties of each spiritual material in turn, then measured the weight of the herbs and cut off the parts that exceeded the standard amount.
Then, he threw the herbs into the refining instrument in order and refined medicinal liquid of different colors.
Soon, the room was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.
Next was the blending step of the medicinal liquid. This step was especially crucial. Whether he would succeed depended on this step.
During this period, he had to pay attention to the temperature change of the medicinal liquid. Sometimes, he had to choose a strong fire, and sometimes, he had to choose a small fire. He also had to add a harmonizing agent that could stabilize the blending of the medicinal liquid at certain times.
According to Le Pingan’s method, he first poured the Blue Heart Grass medicinal liquid and the Ice Crystal Fruit medicinal liquid into the blending device. After warming it up, he began to wait for the two types of liquid to mix.
Under his expectant gaze, the light blue and dark blue liquids began to slowly blend together.
There was no rejection during the process.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, he added the third medicinal liquid.
There were some changes during the fusion process this time. Dense bubbles kept appearing on the surface of the medicinal liquid, and there seemed to be a violent reaction inside.
Next was the fourth and fifth medicinal liquid…
He followed the steps for the earlier belnding without making any mistakes. However, when he poured the last medicinal liquid into the fusion device, the medicinal liquid that had already turned purple suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and the blending device shook.
Realizing that there was a violent repulsion reaction in the blending of the medicinal liquid, he immediately poured in the white blending agent.
In his anxiety, he poured in an excessive amount of blending agent. The medicinal liquid that was almost boiling during the blending suddenly calmed.
The completed Mind Cleansing Wine ought to be light blue in color, but at this moment, the medicinal liquid was still a purple color.
Realizing that his first attempt had failed, his heart ached. He had thought that there would be no problems if he followed the steps, but he did not expect to fail at the last step.
He only hated himself for having his hands tremble and pouring too much blending agent.
[The farmer dug you out of the ground happily and held you in his palm. He praised, Good vegetable! Really good vegetable®!]
The narrator appeared at the right time and mocked him.
Realizing that he had lost more than a million dollars in one go, he only felt his liver hurt, his stomach hurt… His entire body hurt.
Originally, he had $5.6 million in savings. He had used $1.25 yuan to buy the ingredients for the Heart Cleansing Wine and $450,000 to buy the alchemy equipment. Now, he only had about $3.9 million left.
His heart ached even more when he thought about the expenses required when Fang Zhiyou arrives.
Every time he brewed Heart Cleansing Wine, he could save about $350,000, which was equivalent to throwing three and half chances.
Fortunately, he felt that he had already grasped the detailed process of brewing. As long as his hands did not tremble at the last step, there should not be any problems in the future.
He would be able to save on this aspect sooner or later.
While feeling depressed, he cast his gaze at the half bottle of Heart Cleansing Wine under the desk.
At this moment, the energy progress bar was 63%. Half a bottle of Heart Cleansing Wine was enough to let him enter the future dream.
Therefore, he went to the desk and bent down to pick up the wine. After pulling out the cork, he drank it in one gulp.
While feeling hot all over, the energy progress bar jumped.
As he waited, the energy progress bar finally stopped at 149.9%.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was drunk, he immediately lay on the bed and prepared to enter the future dream.
With this timefuture line, he would definitely be locked in constant strife with the Science and Technology Research Institute in the future. During this period, many things that would change the future would definitely happen.
He felt that the history of this timeline, where he and his comrades engaged in intense battles with the enemy, would definitely be filled with passion and excitement.
Although he could not experience it personally, he could understand part of it through history.
[Don’t be too sure. It might also be the tragic life of someone who died young.]
Ignoring the narrator’s mockery, he lay on the bed and hugged the blanket, closing his eyes.
Time passed slowly. As his thoughts emptied, his expression gradually became calm and peaceful…
The moment he opened his eyes, Feng Qi was stunned by the scene in front of him.
This time, in the future dream world, the sky was not completely enveloped by the blood moon.
The blood moon hung high in the west, and the sun shone brightly in the east.
The entire world seemed to have been divided into two halves, and he was standing in the center of the two worlds.
Could it be that the future had really changed?
