Chapter 318: Chapter 193: With your level, you’re not qualified to talk about the big picture!_2

Running to the foot massage shop for physical therapy…

Qin Shi’s mouth twitched. If he didn’t know Old Liang’s character, he would definitely think he’s being disrespectful.

“Speaking of which, Xiao Shuang has always wanted to thank you but never had the chance. Before you return to Tai’an, let him treat you to a meal.”

Old Liang suddenly spoke.

“Shuang-ge thanking me?”

Qin Shi was puzzled.

He had a profound impression of Yan Shuang, the 69th male technician at the Jinse Impression, with a handsome face that could make it big in the industry.

The two didn’t have much interaction, just followed Old Liang’s study sessions when hitting the Tendon Limit, occasionally experiencing Yan Shuang’s massage skills.

“His hometown is in Yan City. His father is Yan Jun, who used to be the richest man in Yan City.”

Old Liang seemed to know the inside story and said softly:

“The Qin family, father and son, started from Mang Village, dealing with farming, cold chain, black and white affairs. Yan Jun refused to cooperate, and was taken away, never seen again alive or dead. Yan Shuang took his mentally disturbed mother and hid in Old Factory Street, barely escaping a disaster.

He doesn’t have much talent in the Martial Arts Path. He sought me before, wanting to follow the Old Martial Road. Unfortunately, despite his persistent efforts, he saw little results.”

Hiss!

Qin Shi took a sharp breath. Could it be that Shuang-ge is on a revenge protagonist script?

“But his hands are exceptional, so I introduced him to Old Gu who sells Divine Oil to learn some medical skills and craftsmanship.”

Old Liang said:

“If you’re ever too tired from training, you can ask Xiao Shuang for a massage. He’s at least expert-level, definitely better than any therapist out there.”

Qin Shi nodded, realizing Shuang-ge had hidden talents.

“Also, he’s certified, a Level 1 Meditation Master.”

Old Liang added.

“Why doesn’t Shuang-ge go to school? With a Meditation Master certificate, he has a high chance of getting into top academies.”

Qin Shi asked.

The Martial Arts Path is a popular career choice, but suitable candidates for the Spiritual Ability Path are far fewer.

Every year, during admissions, teachers from top academies like Qiguang Heng University or Jia Kai Science University almost physically fight over the Spiritual Ability System candidates.

Sometimes, they even struggle to fill their quotas.

Heng Province is inherently a Spiritual Ability desert.

“Yan Jun’s father, Yan Sheng, was good friends with Qin Renying’s father, Qin Xie. Qin Xie started his business back in the village with Yan Sheng’s support.

But for some unknown reasons, they fell out. The Yan family possesses something the Qin family desperately wants but couldn’t find with Yan Jun.”

Old Liang, well informed, helplessly said:

“If Xiao Shuang goes to school, he can’t hide from the Qin family’s eyes. Not to mention, he isn’t alone, he has to care for his mentally disturbed mother, and the past few years have been tough.”

Qin Shi pulled at his lips, empathizing with Old Liang.

If this were the ancient times, heroes would defy the law for injustice, Old Liang would have risen with a knife long ago.

“What if I talk to Teacher Lin and arrange a fake identity? I’m quite familiar with Director Lin of the General Affairs Department at Qiguang Heng University.”

Qin Shi was willing to help, a small matter.

Besides, he has some scores to settle with the Qin family in Yan City.

“That will make you owe a favor.”

Old Liang felt somewhat embarrassed.

Usually, it’s the master who supports the apprentice.

In this case, the master is asking the apprentice for help.

“I’m now the top contender in Heng Province’s hundred-strong competition, honored and glorified. Tai’an Metropolitan Area wants to nominate me as Supernova. Qiguang Heng University would love for me to associate with them. Please rest assured, Master Liang, I will first talk to Lin Xiaohan from the General Affairs Department.”

Qin Shi’s tone was calm, always remembering Qi Wuxiang’s classic saying: when I am strong enough, the world will make way for me.

For now, it seems Tai’an is indeed like this.

Even if the Qin family from Yan City comes personally, they wouldn’t dare to confront him.

No matter how prestigious the pioneering family is, fighting against the Inspection Department and the Education Commission, they must weigh their own strength.

…

…

In the Tai’an Metropolitan Area, the Government Affairs Building was set to host a high-profile meeting today.

Security preparations began four hours in advance, starting with a thorough inspection to confirm the situation, followed by the setup of multiple observation points, each staffed by five-person teams for continuous monitoring.

Members of the Operations Department, responsible for part of the security, spread out like a vast net within the Government Affairs Building, hoping to catch some big fish or small fry.

“Such a grand setup, haven’t seen this in years.”

Guarding at Building Nine, Wei Zheguang whispered.

He had just joined the Operations Department and hadn’t seen much yet, feeling uneasy in such a tense atmosphere.

“Are you kidding! This is the six-yearly General Representative Meeting, Wei-ge! It’s a major conference deciding the future development plans and strategies of the Tai’an Metropolitan Area!”

Old Feng was communicating with the Mechanical Soul, arranging electronic surveillance.

He was holding a device resembling a censer, chanting to the bulky electronic equipment as if in prayer.

“I heard not only Tai’an but Central City also sent representatives.”

Wei Zheguang frowned. Although Heng Province’s new star is centered in Central City, all political directives come from the Governor’s Mansion, maintaining a tacit rule of non-interference.

Due to Heng Province’s vast area, affected by dual blocks on electronics and energy, its development is quite shallow, with many polluted and hazardous areas. Limited transportation forces local self-governance.

Thus, the General Representative Meeting of the Tai’an Metropolitan Area having Central City attendees seemed abrupt.

“Probably discussing Heng Province’s post-unlocking matters.”

Old Feng scratched his head, and after calming the Mechanical Soul, the electronic equipment started working. The surveillance devices buzzed like bees, flying to designated areas to form an all-encompassing monitoring system.
