Atlas of Heaven and Man
#136 - Bone beads
Liu Zhan was just being habitually polite, but hearing Chen Chuan say this, he showed no sign of awkwardness on his face. He still smiled and said, "Student Chen, tell us what you need. If it's within our power, we will definitely not refuse."
Chen Chuan said, "Please don't make this recommendation public, Director Liu, and please don't tell anyone about it for the time being."
"This…"
Chen Chuan added, "Keeping it confidential for a year will be enough."
Liu Zhan smiled, glanced at Director Lei, who was silent beside him, and said, "Student Chen's request is in accordance with the regulations. Please rest assured, Student Chen, as long as I, Liu, am still in this position, I can ensure this matter."
Director Lei then said, "The Religious Review Bureau feels the same."
Liu Zhan quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, this is our promise."
Chen Chuan said, "Thank you both."
With the matter settled, Chen Chuan and Director Lei left the Foreign Affairs Bureau and got back into Director Lei's car.
As the armored vehicle started moving, Director Lei leaned back into the soft seat and said, "Your Senior Sister He and I have set our engagement for the end of the year. You must come then."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Congratulations to you both. I will definitely be there."
Director Lei said, "Once Xiao Ying is a bit better, I will thank you in person."
Chen Chuan asked, "Director Lei, how is the child doing now?"
"Still recovering. It's just that she hasn't spoken a word to anyone in two years. Her language skills have deteriorated somewhat, and she's a little afraid of strangers. Doctor Li says that as long as her parents are patient, she should recover in about half a year."
Chen Chuan said, "That's fortunate."
Director Lei sighed, "Yes, fortunate."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "Enough about me, let's talk about you. You said you wanted to keep it under wraps for a year. Do you have confidence that you will be able to obtain the qualifications to enter the Central City this year?"
Chen Chuan said, "I do have that intention."
Director Lei didn't ask him specifically what he planned to do. He said, "I hope that young people like you can enter the Central City. The technological level of the Central City is undoubtedly the highest in the entire country. I'm not just talking about current biotechnology, but all aspects. If you can gain a foothold there, then you will be qualified to say that you know the true nature of this world. Otherwise, you will ultimately be confined to a small world."
He reminded him, "However, there are many enemies blocking the road. If you want to move forward, they will come to stop you and suppress you.
If you choose to retreat, you may be able to protect yourself, but you will only live a mediocre life. Only by moving forward can you have a wonderful life. Some people are born with nothing, and they are not qualified to think about these things, so there is nothing to say. Since you have this talent, then you should take a chance."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Director Lei, I would like to ask you something, I don't know if it's presumptuous."
Director Lei smiled and said, "Feel free to ask. I won't answer if I can't."
Chen Chuan said, "I would like to ask, what is the deal with the secret cult rituals?"
Director Lei pondered for a moment, "This involves some secrets, so I will just briefly explain it. Regardless of the type of ritual, it utilizes the abnormal substance I mentioned to you. However, there is another common name internationally, called 'Aberrant Entanglement'. Through certain special methods and rituals, this substance can be guided to move according to certain established rules."
Hearing him say this, Chen Chuan's desire to go to the Central City became even stronger. His pursuit is to become stronger, to transcend constraints, but he is also very interested in this kind of abnormal and mysterious thing.
Director Lei drove him back to school. He got out of the armored vehicle at the entrance of Wu Yi and, after saying goodbye to the former, entered the campus. This time, he didn't go back to the dormitory first, but came to Cheng Zhitong's office.
Cheng Zhitong closed the office door after seeing him and asked, "You're back? How did it go? Was it smooth?"
Chen Chuan sat down and said, "Teacher, I have obtained the evaluations from both the Secret Cult Review Bureau and the Foreign Affairs Bureau." He solemnly said, "They should be able to help me conceal it for a year, so next I plan to take the Unlimited Defense Certificate exam."
Cheng Zhitong looked at him for a moment, opened the drawer of his desk, and took out a letter for him, "This is a reply from Old He to you. Take it back and read it first. If you decide, the teacher will fully support you. However, the teacher suggests that you wait a little longer and wait until the last file of your cousin is found, take a look at that similar precedent, and then decide what to do."
Chen Chuan reached out and took it, nodding, "Yes, student has made up his mind, but he will not be too impatient." He then told Cheng Zhitong about the raid on the Copper Embroidery Troupe and handed over the implant for the latter to handle before leaving.
After returning to the dormitory, he opened He Xiaoxing's letter as soon as possible. What he had written to ask about last time was the issue of the upper limit of the First Limit.
Previously, with the growth of his own alienated tissue and the overall improvement of his body in all aspects, he also felt that it would probably be impossible to reach the absolute limit of this stage within the first limit.
Because the body needs to maintain its functions, the improvement in one aspect will inevitably drive the whole. Although the progress will be very fast at the beginning, it will become slower and slower later, becoming inefficient.
Even if he could keep improving, it might take several years or even ten years, so it is obviously not cost-effective or necessary to force it.
He believes that the first limit, the second limit, and even higher limits should not be a simple progressive relationship, but may need to promote each other and be completed in coordination. In this case, he may not be able to move towards the second limit after the first limit is completely completed.
He didn't know if his idea was correct, so he asked He Xiaoxing for advice. Of course, he didn't say that he wanted to reach the upper limit, but simply regarded it as a theoretical discussion.
He Xiaoxing's reply confirmed his guess. In the letter, he praised his spirit of seeking knowledge and told him that from the first limit to the second limit, and even the third limit, before reaching a certain limit, they can all make up for each other's shortcomings, and can even be classified into a whole.
The letter also said that few people can notice this problem, and even take the initiative to mention this problem. People without talent will not and cannot seek this problem. At the end, he also said that he hoped that he could continue to maintain it. Overwhelming force is important, but always maintaining a spirit of seeking knowledge and pursuit can constantly push people forward.
Chen Chuan understood clearly after reading this letter.
He doesn't have to pursue the limit too much at this stage, because this limit cannot be completed at all now. When he masters the power of a higher limit, he can go back and improve it together.
In this way, when he feels that he has reached a bottleneck stage and the progress is already minimal, it will be time to enter the second limit.
So, the next step is to work hard in training and wait for this moment to come.

After thinking about it, he reached into his pocket and took out the bone bead bracelet he got from Qi Sai.
When carrying this thing, he found that while it brought harm, it also had a slight stimulating effect on the alienated tissue.
But this stimulation is really too rare. Is it just a special ornament?
He looked at it again and compared it to his wrist, but found that the number of bone beads on it was obviously not enough to wrap around that person's thick wrist.
Moreover, in addition to the position he pulled on that day, the rope also has traces of frequent disassembly. Does this mean...
He thought for a while, and his heart moved slightly. He took off a bone bead, looked at it for a moment, and then squeezed it hard. A pile of powder fell on the table, and at the moment when this thing shattered, his second self suddenly produced a burst of virtualization. This strong feeling was like being in close contact with a weird tale.
Sure enough!
Chen Chuan's eyes lit up. He understood that Qi Sai should be using this thing instead of medicine to stimulate the alienated tissue in order to achieve the purpose of fighting and training.
However, this stimulation is much stronger than similar drugs, and it may also be accompanied by other unknown damages. While stimulating the alienated tissue, it is probably also overdrawing life.
Considering that Qi Sai should have reached the second limit, maybe he can withstand it?
It is also possible that because Qi Sai stayed in the wilderness for a long time, he couldn't get enough medicine, so he brought this thing to deal with emergencies occasionally.
But it cannot be ruled out that the Maca people are weak and small, and cannot provide sufficient medicine like Wu Yi, so they use this method to replace it.
But no matter what the real situation is, this thing is just right for him.
He looked at the phantom on his second self. He just didn't know how long it could last. He could wait and see.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. He put down the thing, walked over and opened the door, and saw that it was Feng Xiaoqi. The latter said, "Classmate Chen, I have counted it clearly. There are a total of 5,350 Jianyuan coins inside, and a total of 537 transaction coupons."
Chen Chuan thought for a while, more than 5,000 Jianyuan coins?
This number is actually a lot. After all, even if Nian Fuli is promoted to captain, his monthly salary is only more than 200, but considering that this money is divided among 40 to 50 people, and it is still life-saving money, it is actually not much.
He said, "How about this, I'll make a phone call. After Senior Brother Ren and Brother Wei have also finished processing, find a day and let everyone come over and divide it together."
"Okay."
As for the two gold notes from Wansheng Bank, he had asked Cheng Zitong before. He needed to make an appointment in advance, and the time was uncertain, and it could take up to sixty days. As for that implant, Cheng Zitong told him to wait, and he should be able to find a suitable next home. In this way, he might as well divide the money he got to everyone first.
After that, Ren Xiaotian and Wei Changan called one after another for three days, saying that the vehicles, firearms, and rewards had all been disposed of cleanly, and the payments had all been settled, and the commission from the Foreign Affairs Bureau had also been credited to his account.
Then the next step is undoubtedly to divide the money.
Chen Chuan thought for a while, and simply booked a private room in the Duyi Hotel in the city center, and notified all the team members who participated in this operation to go there on their rest day. Everyone would have a meal together and distribute the rewards by the way.
