Xiao Monü returned to her dormitory, quickly showered, and changed into another loose 'hospital gown'.
Then, she eagerly released her mental energy to chat with her Lin Ze Ge.
This was the happiest moment for the little loli every day for the past two years.
An invisible wave, however, penetrated the wall and probed over.
Lin Ze felt it was Xiao Monü's mental wave, so he opened his mental defense.
"Oppaa! Today they blindfolded me and shot arrows at me..." Xiao Monü's voice echoed in Lin Ze's mind.
She always habitually told Lin Ze about her daily experiences; this was a habit Lin Ze had deliberately cultivated in her over the past few years.
He had to know everything Xiao Monü encountered, and then judge whether the plot was about to begin.
"Didn't it scare you?" Lin Ze asked a rhetorical question, but it also conveyed his concern for Xiao Monü.
"Mm! I was so scared then! I almost didn't catch it!" Xiao Monü said, still feeling lingering fear.
"You're amazing! I'm not as good as you."
Lin Ze gave the little loli encouragement, then reached out a finger and touched his brow, where there was a dark bruise.
The first time Lin Ze underwent this experiment, he couldn't fully catch the high-speed arrows.
If he hadn't slowed it down at the last moment, Lin Ze would probably have become a handful of white ash in the incinerator by now.
"Oppaa, you train so hard, you don't have to take risks like me, I was just too scared so... Oppaa... can you continue telling the story of that monkey?" Xiao Monü probably only showed this side of herself in front of Lin Ze.
"Oh, that's called Journey to the West!" Lin Ze said in Chinese.
"Xi... yao... ji..." Xiao Monü mumbled a strange-sounding phrase...
In fact, this training had been going on for a long time.
Lin Ze only decided to try catching arrows blindfolded after many practice sessions, but he still sustained a slight injury the first time.
Xiao Monü, on the other hand, was arranged to catch arrows blindfolded on her very first try and succeeded in one go.
It really was as the movie said: diligence is nothing compared to talent.
Lin Ze also didn't know why, even though he trained very hard and his grades in all subjects were among the best, he always seemed to be half a beat slower than Xiao Monü in these types of potential-stimulating trainings.
Perhaps it was precisely because he had the mind of an adult that he lacked that pure impulse in stress reactions.
The stability of his mindset, on the contrary, slowed down the development of his physical potential by half a beat.
Just like many trainings, in Lin Ze's view, some safety measures had been taken.
Although human lives were treated like grass here, it didn't mean they should be wasted without meaning, right?
Those trainings, in the eyes of other children, meant certain death if not completed, so the development of potential would be a little faster.
Lin Ze waved his hand, and several metal fragments on the table flew over, dancing and leaping in his palm.
If potential was insufficient, then one must constantly practice.
However, possessing an adult soul, his total mental energy was even greater than Xiao Monü's.
Coupled with his active cooperation and diligent training, his overall strength might even be above Xiao Monü's.
The little one occasionally had outbursts, but Lin Ze could quickly catch up through hard training.
"Oppaa! Look!"
Xiao Monü boastfully controlled a large handful of metal particles and formed a polygonal three-dimensional figure.
And she also let Lin Ze "see" the image she was seeing.
Lin Ze also remembered that this figure was exactly what she played with in the movie!
Lin Ze smiled and sent her a message of approval; coaxing a child, he had experience.
Lin Ze did not want to use mental energy as crudely as Xiao Monü.
In the movie, they actually used mental energy to control handguns to shoot enemies.
If they possessed such great power, why not control lighter objects to directly launch attacks?
For example, throwing knives, steel balls... or even steel needles...
It wasn't until the second part of The Witch that the gene warriors gained the ability to control objects for large-scale enemy killing.
At that time, the second-generation Witch, who was Zi Yun's younger sister, was already an SS-class gene warrior.
Currently, Lin Ze could control two to three metal particles to fly at high speed within about ten meters around him.
At this moment, encountering them was no less lethal than a bullet.
Xiao Monü, on the other hand, controlled dozens of particles at once, only able to slowly form figures with them.
Of course, if it was just to train mental energy, that was also acceptable.
However, it seemed she hadn't thought in that direction at all, only treating it as a game.
It was indeed magical; when this ability was first developed, Lin Ze also played with great relish until his mental energy was exhausted and he fell into a deep sleep.
As described in novels, as long as one completely depletes mental energy, then waits for it to replenish, and then depletes it again, repeating this process can indeed achieve very good training effects.
Every day before going to bed, Lin Ze and Xiao Monü would use this remote communication combined with telekinesis to drain the last bit of energy they had left for the day.
Until they were utterly exhausted, and then fell into a deep sleep.
After a good night's sleep, they would recover as before the next day, and even make a little progress.
Lin Ze treated it as cultivation.
In Xiao Monü's eyes, it was more like a game where she could hear many fresh things from the outside world and many strange profound truths told by Lin Ze.
Whether she could understand them or not, Xiao Monü simply liked Lin Ze chattering like an old father.
Over two years, they had communicated a lot on a mental level.
Smart as Xiao Monü was, what she lacked was knowledge of the outside world, and Lin Ze, as the soul of a forty-year-old uncle, had no shortage of social experience.
Although they were two different worlds, since they were parallel spaces, there were many similarities.
For example, Shanghai in this world's Dragon Country also had a 'Little Flying Man' who broke the world record in sprinting...
After much research, the two discovered many small tricks for using mental energy.
Perhaps out of mischievous fun, they even named them.
For example, telekinesis; divine sense for sensing and exploring the environment; telepathy for communication; mental barrier, which could block others' probes or block others' telepathy to refuse communication; and compressing mental energy into a needle to fiercely stab someone's head, causing them to instantly faint, which was called mental thrust.
When fully exerted, the divine sense could cover an area of about 100 meters, but if there were walls or other obstructions, the distance would be relatively reduced.
Lin Ze estimated it was similar to the signal of a household router in the real world.
Telekinesis could control objects weighing about one kilogram, but the speed would be very slow, and mental energy would be quickly depleted.
In fact, not long after Lin Ze's fourth gene injection, he gained the ability to project mental energy.
At first, he could only simply perceive his surroundings.
One accidental time, Lin Ze's divine sense met Xiao Monü's, so the two attempted to communicate.
Gradually, it became smoother and smoother.
This kind of communication was more effective and accurate than expressing with language.
Soon, the two established a deep friendship.
In fact, most of the time, Lin Ze played the role of a father, answering Xiao Monü's various strange questions.
This was also the reason Xiao Monü ultimately accepted Lin Ze giving her a name.
During their first self-introduction, Lin Ze tricked Xiao Monü into needing a name, and he blurted out that names given by parents or elders were the only ones that held meaning.
Although the matter wasn't brought up again, Xiao Monü remembered it.
So, at first, she refused Lin Ze's help in naming her.
It wasn't until later, when she became more and more admiring and felt that Lin Ze was like an all-knowing big brother, that she accepted the name under Lin Ze's strong suggestion.
Now, as the timeline drew closer to the beginning of the plot, Lin Ze also started to get nervous.
Even though their current combat strength was formidable, they were still facing a group of fully armed mercenaries.
