Chapter 302: Cultivation

“Can’t scare anyone? Brat, my miniature warp devices are connected to space itself, if your girlfriend unluckily gets sucked in and disappears who-knows-where, I’m not responsible” Liao Xing replied.

“Alright, I’ll make sure to tell her” Ye Fei Li agreed.

Just like that, it had been decided.

“Thank you, everyone!” Ye Fei Li happily jumped.

“And so, Ye Fei Li, I’m going to ask you to listen to me” Zhang Ying Hao said.

“I’m all ears” Ye Fei Li’s attitude was much better than before.

“There’s a reason why you wanted to kill him, so I won’t say anything about that”

“Hm”

“But every job has its own taboo, these taboos are the culmination of countless years of experience by seniors who went before you, to help avoid danger and roundabout methods, so you’re coming with me to learn them” Zhang Ying Hao said.

“I’m a Man Killer Fiend, do I really need to learn assassination?” Ye Fei Li asked.

Zhang Ying Hao said nothing and only stared at him.

“Alright fine” Ye Fei Li compromised.

Zhang Ying Hao then looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked: “You told me to have him learn some things, then what about you?”

“I’m going to join you as well, and will probably need your full support” Gu Qing Shan said.

Zhang Ying Hao sat straight up, asking: “What happened? I haven’t seen you this serious ever before”

Gu Qing Shan answered: “I have to perfectly impersonate someone else to accomplish my goal”

“Do you have this person’s personal profiles and details?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

“I do”

“Your appearance can be changed with genetic technology, but a person’s voice, including tone, accents, emotions and personal habits, have to go through professional training to achieve success” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

“That’s why I came to you” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

Zhang Ying Hao continued: “No problem, I’ll arrange it”

“What do I need to do?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You can try some self-training first, learn to control your tone, gestures, facial expression, make sure that your every movement is exactly as you want them to be”

“Alright”

“After that, you can try replacing that person, to have others believe that you are him”

Zhang Ying Hao continued: “I’ll arrange it right now; we’ll start training tomorrow”

“Thank you very much, this is a very crucial matter to me” Gu Qing Shan very sincerely said.

“We’re all family here, no need for thanks, if anything happens to my group in the future, just make sure to give me a hand”

“Of course”

Suddenly, Liao Xing spoke up: “Hey, take a look at the news”

The three of them turned to look at the screen to see that an emergency situation was being broadcasted.

The President was hosting a grand banquet to gather support from his party before the election, during the banquet, he was suddenly met with a powerful assailant.

Luckily the assailant was caught in time, after going through medical examinations, the President was found to be fine.

The President expressed his desire to keep running for the next term of presidency.

Although there was a problem in yesterday’s congress election, the Confederate Presidency Grand Election will still continue as normal.

The election is currently the Confederate’s most crucial matter, unless a force majeure happens, it will not be postponed.

“Another assassination, seems like our Mr. President has been through a lot of them lately” Liao Xing commented.

“Why is that though?” Ye Fei Li was curious.

Zhang Ying Hao replied: “He keeps insisting on the decentralization of Genetic Modification serums, giving the entire population the chance to use them and become a Professionist”

“And the rights to the Genetic Modification serum belongs to the 9 Lords” Gu Qing Shan followed up.

“So him being met with frequent assassinations isn’t something to be surprised about” Zhang Ying Hao finished.

Ye Fei Li commented: “Truthfully speaking, I really hate the 9 Lords”

“But the entire Confederate was built by their hands” Zhang Ying Hao shrugged.

Gu Qing Shan pulled the curtain, staring at the rain shower outside.

Impartial Goddess was still silent.

Which means everything is still normal, there aren’t any anomalies or unprecedented disasters happening anywhere on the planet.

—–perhaps that time the rain stopped truly was just a coincidence.

Gu Qing Shan sighed.

It’ll be good if that’s really the case, since I’ll have more time to prepare.

Gu Qing Shan was thinking about his own matters, not paying attention to the raining scenery outside.

And he definitely didn’t take any notice of the expressions of the people inside reflected on the dark window pane.

Liao Xing had a strange look on his face.

He was staring at the President on the TV screen, squinting his eyes so closely it was almost a small string.

“Did I see that wrong?” Liao Xing muttered in a low voice.

After the news, the President began to give his speech on live broadcast, garnering more excitement towards the election.

Gu Qing Shan closed the TV.

“Now, let us talk a bit business” he said to everyone.

A few scripture books were on the table.

“Here are your scriptures, do your best to learn them” Gu Qing Shan said simply.

“If I learn this, can I fly like you do?” Zhang Ying Hao was intrigued and asked.

“You can” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Zhang Ying Hao instantly picked up his scripture.

“If I learn this, can I see her like you can?” Ye Fei Li asked with a look of desires in his eyes.

“You can” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Ye Fei Li instantly picked up his copy and began to read on the spot.

“If I learn this, can I gain abilities?” Liao Xing glanced at the scripture book on the table and asked.

Gu Qing Shan answered: “Of course, this is evolution on the most basic scale, you might be able to gain ability”

Liao Xing picked up his copy, carefully flipped over the first one.

“I specifically picked these ones out for you guys, so make sure to pay attention. I’ve written notes all over to make it easier for you, but if there’s something you don’t get, just come ask me” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Thank you”

Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li said in unison.

“Learn them quickly, no one knows just what kind of future awaits us, so you guys have to become stronger faster” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Liao Xing said you prepared over thousands of these” Zhang Ying Hao asked, “what are you planning to do?”

“I want to look for a chance and put them out together with our bracelets for the entire humanity” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Then wouldn’t it be people flying around all over the sky from now on? Who would use shuttles anymore” Zhang Ying Hao commented.

“That’s misguided thinking, flying by yourself is nowhere near as comfortable as using a shuttle, not to mention cultivation isn’t easy, not everyone will be able to reach the point of being able to fly” Gu Qing Shan refuted.

Everyone silently nodded.

“Heh, these things are quite simple aren’t they, not even half as complicated as my warp technology” Liao Xing glanced over his scripture and sneered,

“There’s barely a few hundred acupoints on the picture drawn here, one glance and I already remembered them all” he proudly declared.

“You’re a scientist so of course your thinking abilities are much more potent, but your body is a bit drained so your cultivation process will definitely not be fast” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Drained? But I haven’t done anything yet, it’s been a very long time since I even touched a woman” Liao Xing was unconvinced.

Gu Qing Shan seriously looked at him, then mumbled: “That’s strange, I can clearly see you’re quite empty right now”

Liao Xing remembered something.

He silently took the scripture book, stood up and returned to his room.

“What do you mean empty! I’ll recover everything after a good night’s sleep” Liao Xing suddenly shouted.

Clack!

He slammed the door.

The three other exchanged looks then continued talking.

“Ye Fei Li, how long until you can hear your girlfriend again?” Gu Qing Shan now asked.

“That’ll be tomorrow” Ye Fei Li answered.

“Then can you hear other sounds?”

“I can” Ye Fei Li said, “during that hour, as long as I’m willing, I can hear any soul’s voice”

“Before, since I only thought of her, I subconsciously ignored all the other voices”

“So that’s what happened, then are there many souls in the world?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“That’s the strangest part, there’s one I don’t understand at all, like ——-“ Ye Fei Li was speaking.

“Wait a minute” Zhang Ying Hao cut him off.

They both looked at Zhang Ying Hao.

“It’s the goddamn middle of the night, you’re scaring me with your little talk over there, how about we get something to drink first” Zhang Ying Hao complained.

“You’re a hitman aren’t you? What are you afraid of ghosts for” Ye Fei Li asked.

“I’m not afraid, just can’t help but feel a bit uneasy” Zhang Ying Hao refuted him.

“Yeah let’s get a drink” Gu Qing Shan agreed with him.

Zhang Ying Hao quickly went and got three shot glasses and opened a bottle of strong liquor.

“Cheers”

They knocked glasses and gulped it down all at once.

The sting went all the way from their throat to their chest.

Gu Qing Shan breathed out deeply.

Zhang Ying Hao savored the taste.

Ye Fei Li frowned.

Zhang Ying Hao topped them all off again.

Ye Fei Li continued where he left off: “I’m supposed to be able to hear the sound of ghosts, so when I purposefully want to, there should be a lot of voices that rush to me at once”

“Of course you would” Zhang Ying Hao downed another shot, “how many years do you think have passed, how many people have died, if you can hear the voices of all the dead people, you’d probably be drowned to death by the sheer number of voices”

“But then, I don’t actually hear a lot of voices” Ye Fei Li spoke, confused.
