Chapter 928: Ah Jing, Has Yunxiao Contacted You Recently?
“For those people with powerful mental energy, while they enjoy the love and good treatment from the people, they also have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting those planets. All the more they do not have time to have children.
“However, ordinary folks can have children as they like. Just that interstellar s.p.a.ce is extremely vast. Even if they continuously reproduce, it would only be a drop in the ocean. If one planet can’t accommodate them, they can always head to another planet. There aren’t situations like land and housing problems similar to that on Earth.”
In the future of science and technology, they only have to place an order for a house over the virtual network. Soon, construction robots would make their way over and start constructing the house. It would be completed in a day.
While walking, Zi Yi explained to Lu Jingye a lot about the future interstellar lifestyle. Even with Lu Jingye’s calm personality, he still had a yearning for the world she had described.
!!
“Is the mental energy of people from Earth very weak?” Lu Jingye suddenly asked.
“Yes.” Zi Yi said, “The mental energies can be divided into two categories. One is an innate mental energy and the other is acquired via stimulation. The mental energies of humans on Earth are limited by s.p.a.ce and magnetic fields, thus it is basically close to none.
“If we were to travel to other planets in the future, what would happen if there is a lack of mental energy?”
“You won’t be able to leave the nearby galaxies at all. Therefore, I built this laboratory so that in the future, I can develop drugs or equipment that can stimulate a person’s mental energy. Even though the vast majority of humans on Earth have weak mental energy, there are people who have a strong mental energy after receiving stimulation. For example, you, Yunxiao, Runge…”
Zi Yi mentioned a few individuals. However, there was one common characteristic among these people. All of them had good physical qualities.
Lu Jingye asked, “Can mental energy levels be tested?”
“Yes, they can. I will create testing equipment in the future.”
Speaking of this, Zi Yi thought of the Worm Race. “In fact, the reason why the male worm captured so many humans to be pioneers of the universe is that it is also a way to test and stimulate one’s mental energy.”
However, this method will cause many deaths.
Both of them were well aware of this.
Speaking up to here, Zi Yi thought of Lu Yunxiao and so, she asked, “Ah Jing, has Yunxiao contacted you recently?”
“He hasn’t.” Lu Jingye’s expression suddenly turned serious. “The last time he contacted me was when he found the entrance to the secret laboratory in Country A.”
Zi Yi placed a special tracker in Lu Yunxiao’s body and if his life was in danger, they would know right away.
She called out a few invisible robots and said to them, “Monitor the surroundings.”
After the invisible robots turned invisible, she turned on the virtual screen and keyboard, and quickly typed.
Soon, a red dot appeared on the screen.
Both of them looked at the red dot and were a little surprised.
“Yunxiao seems to be at the bottom of the sea…”
Lu Jingye looked at it for some time and said with certainty, “It’s indeed the bottom of the sea. It’s the SOMA Strait.”
“It’s no wonder he hasn’t been in contact with us.”
After confirming his position, both of them were at ease.
Just then, Shadow’s warning voice sounded. “Master, there’s a car approaching.”
Zi Yi put away the virtual keyboard and screen, and said happily, “My cousins are here.”
Both of them stood by the side of the road and waited.
Soon, a car drove inside.
The car stopped next to where they were standing.
Dou Zerui was the first to stick his head out of the car window. He grinned and waved at Zi Yi and Lu Jingye. “Cousin, cousin-in-law, long time no see.”
Dou Xiangling also asked with a smile, “Why are the both of you standing here?”
“We’re here to welcome you.”
Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling were about to alight from the car when Zi Yi said, “Don’t get out. We’re going back right away.”
In the end, both of them did not alight from the car and the car continued driving towards the entrance of the winery.
By the time Zi Yi and Lu Jingye made their way back to the winery, the four of them were happily chatting.
At the sight of their return, Dou Zerui asked with a hint of surprise, “Yiyi, is this really your vineyard?”
“Of course. There is plenty of wine here in the cellar. You can drink as much as you like.”
Dou Zerui was elated. “Then I won’t hold back on you.”
The housekeeper served them midnight snacks. Everyone was hungry by this time and so they sat around the table and ate together.
Dou Zerui and Qin Ze were unexpectedly junior high school cla.s.smates and not to mention, they were close to each other. When they were having midnight snacks, both of them talked the most.
After finis.h.i.+ng the midnight snack, everyone sat on the sofa. Dou Zerui then asked Ian, “I am here on behalf of the whole family. Do I need to meet your parents tomorrow?”
“No need for that.” Ian said, “You just have to attend the dinner banquet with everyone else tomorrow and I will introduce you to them.”
Ian had previously mentioned the situation in his family to the Dou Family before.
Dou Zerui did not mind and they started discussing the engagement.
“Both you and Xiangling will be engaged after tomorrow evening. We still have to specially pick a date for the marriage. People in our country attach great importance to this custom.”
Ian surely did not have any objections. “When the time comes, Xiangling and I will hold a wedding banquet in China before coming back and holding a dinner banquet here.”
“Sure.”
After they finished their discussion, Qin Ze, who was sitting there, suddenly interrupted. “Will the Countess be preparing this dinner banquet?”
“No. I will be doing all the preparations myself,” Ian said, “I have already given orders to my subordinates and I will make a trip back home early in the morning tomorrow.”
How could he possibly leave such preparations to someone who wanted to cause him trouble?
Qin Ze nodded his head after hearing Ian’s answer. “Do tell me if you need any help. Even though I’ve never organized a dinner banquet before, I believe I am still capable of offering help.”
Ian smiled and thanked him. “No need for that. You all just have to directly make your way over and attend the dinner banquet.”
Speaking of this, he thought of what Dou Xiangling said to the Count and so, he informed Zi Yi and Lu Jingye. “Today my Father asked if the both of you were coming and Xiangling said no.”
Zi Yi did not even have to think, to know that the Count must have made things difficult for her cousin, which was why she had answered so. “Ah Jing and I will head over earlier and let’s see what your Father and Mother could possibly do.”
Dou Xiangling thought of what the Countess said and the Count’s att.i.tude. She pursed her lips and said, “I don’t want them to make any excessive demands on you.”
“What are you worried about?” Zi Yi pulled her hand and said, “In the future, the whole Count’s Mansion will be Ian’s. Even if she has any schemes in mind, she can’t possibly reveal them blatantly.”
“That’s right.” Ian nodded in agreement. “After I get married, I’ll be able to a.s.sume the position of the Count and she won’t dare to do anything. Even though Father had said those things earlier, he was hoping for the family to do even better.”
The Count was unaware that he had already cooperated with Zi Yi long ago. However, he did not intend to tell his Father for the time being either.
After hearing what they said, Dou Xiangling was finally enlightened. “I think I had thought of things in a complicated manner.”
Everyone chatted for a while before they returned to their respective rooms to rest.
At around three o’clock in the morning, Lu Jingye suddenly opened his eyes. He took a look at his mobile phone which had vibrated for a moment.
There was a notification that read: Second Young Master, someone is approaching the house.
Lu Jingye gently pulled out his arm from under Zi Yi’s neck and stealthily left the bedroom.
As soon as he came out and went into the living room, Ian also walked out of his room.
Ian said, “Someone is approaching. It may be someone sent by my Mother.”
