Crown Prince's Wedding Banquet

Marshal of the Empire's three armies, six-star general Yang Haoyu, spiritual power S++, the only person in the entire capital galaxy who can compete with the emperor in terms of spiritual power.

When Zhou Qin entered Yang Haoyu's office in the Outer Court Military Department, he didn't see the old man in military uniform he thought he was.

Yang Haoyu was wearing a very old-fashioned three-piece suit, with an antique pocket watch in the pocket of his vest, revealing a mottled copper chain.The short black hair looks a little longer, but his eyes are particularly bright under the black bangs.She doesn't look very old, only in her forties.

Wearing a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses, he sat on a high stool by the window, and the wall behind him was a whole wall of ancient physical paper books.

Ever since Zhou Qin entered his office, Yang Haoyu has been sizing him up, from head to toe at the crown prince, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Good day, Marshal." Zhou Qin greeted him.

"Good day, Your Highness." Yang Haoyu stood up slowly and gave him a slight bow.

"Please sit down." Yang Haoyu pointed to an old, slightly dented single leather sofa in front of the bookshelf and said.

Zhou Qin sat down on that sofa, the position kept sinking, as if the springs inside had been in disrepair for a long time, he guessed that the marshal had a special liking for this old-fashioned furnishing style.

"If you have any books you are interested in, you can get them yourself." Yang Haoyu said.

Zhou Qin looked at the bookshelf behind him, took out a few ancient theoretical works on spiritual power from the nearby books, and began to read.

He thought that Yang Haoyu had something to do, so he asked him to read the book first.

But Yang Haoyu was still sitting on the high stool, leaning against the window frame, staring at him carefully.

"Marshal..." Zhou Qin couldn't help looking up after watching for 5 minutes.

"Keep reading, Your Highness." Yang Haoyu said, "If you step into this threshold, you are my student. Please study according to my curriculum design."

Zhou Qin sighed and continued to read the book in his hand.

After reading three or four books on spiritual power, he had already begun to suspect that Yang Haoyu simply ignored the emperor's orders and decided to play it perfunctory during class - anyway, he supported King Qing, and his discord with the emperor was inevitable.

There is half an hour left until class time.

"Has your Highness finished it?" Yang Haoyu asked him.

"Yes, I've finished reading it, Marshal." Zhou Qin said.

"I see that you have selected some ancient books on spiritual power to read."

"Well, isn't our course improving mental power? I want to read some books like this, which are more in line with the theme." Zhou Qin replied like a good student.

The corner of Yang Haoyu's mouth curled up: "Very good. You are right in thinking."

What he said next caught Zhou Qin by surprise.

"Now, throw away all the knowledge and theories related to spiritual power that you have come into contact with in the past, including the things you just read. Throw them away from your mind." Yang Haoyu said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand." Zhou Qin was stunned for a few seconds before saying reflexively.

"Is this difficult to understand?" Yang Haoyu asked him, "It's just to forget all the ways to improve your mental strength that you have been exposed to before."

"I have never learned the method of improving mental power." Zhou Qin said, "As you know, my mental power rating is only B+. I have given up on improving mental power since the day I knew the result. So I have not accepted systematic training. Mental strength training."

This time Yang Haoyu's smile was tinged with sarcasm: "Psychic power rating...that's a joke."

"Marshal, I don't understand what you mean."

Yang Haoyu stood up, walked up to Zhou Qin and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think spiritual power is?"

"Spiritual power is the strong interference of personal thoughts on the real world."

"That's a good answer. It's the same answer as a textbook." Yang Haoyu nodded, "In the book on spiritual power that you just finished reading, the first sentence is written like this."

He added: "You are really easy to learn."

Zhou Qin became a little annoyed by Yang Haoyu's style of not playing cards according to the routine.

"Marshal, if there is anything wrong with what I said, please correct me directly." Zhou Qin said.

"No, your description is very accurate." Yang Haoyu said, "It's just that you didn't realize that the definition of spiritual power that exists in elementary school textbooks doesn't explain why spiritual power is produced? There is strong interference in the real world, so why is there such a strong interference? Why is there such a strong interference?"

Zhou Qin was silent.

"Spiritual power is a desire, a longing, and an obsession from the heart." Yang Haoyu said, "The strength of spiritual power depends on the strength of this obsession."

"According to the marshal, shouldn't paranoiacs have the highest mental strength?" Zhou Qin said.

"Isn't it?" Yang Haoyu asked him back.

Zhou Qin was taken aback.

"Isn't your mother, Your Majesty the Emperor, a paranoid?" Yang Haoyu asked, "Or do you think I don't look like a paranoid?"

"His Royal Highness, is there anything you want?" Yang Haoyu asked him.

"Yes." Zhou Qin replied.He can give an answer very quickly, his ambition - the throne of the empire.

"What are you willing to pay for it?" Yang Haoyu asked again.

"Everything." Zhou Qin said, "my life, wealth, power, status."

Yang Haoyu smiled: "How can this be everything? Can you exchange your beloved?"

Zhou Qin was startled: "What does this mean?"

"You hesitate." Yang Haoyu said, "Your obsession is not deep enough. You are not as good as the emperor in this regard."

Zhou Qin couldn't help mocking: "Did I tell the marshal that if I sacrifice my favorite person, I can get everything I want? I can jump from B+ mental power to peace with you Should the emperor stand shoulder to shoulder and become the owner of S++ spiritual power?"

Yang Haoyu was not angry, he said: "Who told you that the rating of mental power is a universal axiom? Human beings are constantly growing, and various scientific and technological theories are also advancing. Now it seems to be an absolute standard. One day it will show its limitations. To give the most basic example, children in kindergarten know that Newton’s three laws are correct in the low-speed macro world, but they are not applicable in the high-speed micro world. In the high-speed micro world Quantum mechanics was once considered to be the only path, but in fact all the cutting-edge technologies have been refreshed by new theories every second over the years. Why is the research on spiritual power still stagnant and stagnant? You take The theoretical works from 300 years ago can still be applied today. Isn’t this a terrible thing?”

Zhou Qin calmed down. What Yang Haoyu said was not to embarrass him, but to truly form a unique perspective on spiritual power.Zhou Qin respects knowledge and also respects the person who imparts knowledge.

"Please advise." Zhou Qin said respectfully.

"Spiritual power can be trained and improved." Yang Haoyu said, "We just talked about what spiritual power is. This is the starting point of spiritual power. What I want to tell His Highness now is the end point of spiritual power. There is a starting point and an end point. , we can explore the middle way.”

"What is the end point of spiritual power?"

"Concretization." Yang Haoyu said, "Sufficient spiritual power can cause great changes in the material world and form a concrete form. Of course, the form of spiritual power is actually different. From the current point of view, human spiritual power is concrete. There is a certain relationship between the transformation form and the pheromone. For example...my pheromone is the taste of bamboo leaves...then the embodiment of my spiritual power is..."

Yang Haoyu raised his hand slightly.

Zhou Qin felt a powerful spiritual power instantly enveloped the entire room, which was completely different from the coercion of His Majesty the Emperor, and you couldn't even feel the threat that this spiritual power could bring.

In a trance, he smelled the fragrance of bamboo leaves being blown by the breeze. He was in a huge bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves were falling lightly... everything seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Until the falling bamboo leaves cut Zhou Qin's suit collar like a sharp knife.

"Bamboo." Yang Haoyu said, "This is the form of my mental power."

"If someone's pheromone tastes like toffee, could it be that his mental power is a piece of toffee?" Zhou Qin felt incredible.

"No, it is often Omega that possesses this kind of sweet and greasy pheromone. And the spiritual power of an Omega is not enough to visualize spiritual power." Yang Haoyu said, "Even most S-level spiritual power owners still have It has never touched the threshold of the concrete form of spiritual power. It can be said that the concretization of the spiritual power form is an important symbol to distinguish super-high-level spiritual power from high-level and lower-level spiritual power."

"For example, your mother, His Majesty the Emperor, has a mental power level of S++, and her pheromone taste is the hot smell of burning flames. Her spiritual power form is fire. The emperor's younger brother, His Royal Highness Prince Yongfan, has a mental power level of S+, he My mental power form is the Bird of Paradise. Yesterday evening, I felt the formation of a new concrete form of spiritual power. Although its shape is blurred now, it seems to be produced from a common source of spiritual power, although I can’t see the specific spiritual power clearly. form." Yang Haoyu said, "But it is very likely that it is a newly born S+ level spiritual power user. Even if it will become a higher-level spiritual power user in the future, it is still unknown."

The amount of information that Yang Haoyu sent to Zhou Qin within half an hour was more than what he had learned about spiritual power in the past ten years.

The new S+ spiritual power user?

Did you tell him this on purpose?

When Zhou Qin left, Yang Haoyu didn't give him homework, which made him feel relieved.

"I hope that when you come to class next time, you can find your obsession." Marshal Yang's request was more difficult and mysterious than the homework requirements.

"What if I can't find it?" Zhou Qin asked.

"Then you can consider not coming again." Yang Haoyu said lightly, "Then I will fully support King Qing's constitutional amendment plan and ensure its passage in the parliament—in your opinion, I should be a 'Qing King Party' '."

"Find your obsession. Or choose to let the virtuous crown prince take the position." Yang Haoyu said, "You don't have any more choices with me."

His tone was so serious that Zhou Qin realized that he was not joking.

Zhou Qin took a breath: "Understood, Marshal."

Yang Haoyu nodded: "Then, see you next week."

When Zhou Qin came out of the military office building, he was still thinking about Yang Haoyu's words just now.Then a mail notification sound came from the communicator.

He opened it and saw that it was still an email from Qi Jiayu's anonymous mailbox.

Title: Riddle.

Attachment [-] is the comparison between the draft design of the Yinyue ignition device and the crude version of the ignition device he disguised last night. It took Qi Jiayu half a day to discover the similarities between the two.This is not surprising, and it also proves that Qi Jiayu really loves the research and development projects in his hands.

Attachment [-] is the address of Xiating District, and a pure black invitation letter with no words or patterns.

"I checked, this address is a remote shuttle maintenance factory on the surface, but there is a mystery inside. It is well disguised, but it still can't hide from my discerning eyes." Chen Cang said proudly, and then it challenged After losing Zhou Qin's patience, he threw out the answer.

"This is an underground mecha fighting arena." Chen Cang said, "One of the bosses behind it is Qi Jiayu."

Zhou Qin smiled: "The vice president of MW Power Company is the boss behind the underground mech fighting arena?"

Hidden enough. . .
