Sky-cracking Rider -
Chapter 1029 - 1029: Section 1015 - Trust Relationships
At Meng Po's place, any mistakes can be corrected in the next life.
With Chen Fei, any mistakes must be corrected in this life before you die. If you don't correct them, you can't even die if you want to.
Lin Zixian was beaten so hard he spat blood. It wasn't over yet. The expensive magic potion kept him alive, and coupled with high-rank Healing Spell and high-level Psi Skill, the soup bowl in Meng Po's hand was directly smashed.
The healer team of the "Wall of Sighs" action force is a super luxurious crew. As long as there's one breath left in you, they can forcibly drag you back from the Ghost Gate Pass and even slap the bull-headed horse face out of the way.
"No, stop hitting!"
The biological son of the "Lord of the Sky" repeatedly waved his hands unconsciously begging for mercy.
The scene was completely unbearable to watch!
For a full half-hour, the battered and bruised Lin Zixian fell heavily to the ground, with tendons broken and bones fractured, unrecognizable.
The healing crew casually surrounded him, then operated intensely like a tiger, snatching him from King Yama.
As the abandoned son of the Lin Family, he should have the consciousness of inevitable death, whether it's by the hands of a parasitic species or at the hands of Chen Fei, there's no difference.
Even the Little Shanzi of the uncle's family could strike hard, don't expect Chen Xiao'er to go easy on Lin Zixian, who is unrelated by blood.
"'Hey', 'rookie', isn't this too harsh?"
Ginny somewhat sympathized with this unlucky kid, being abandoned by the family was one thing, but even being dealt with like this by others, how tragic life indeed.
Chen Fei said contentedly, "Let's call it a day!"
He just beat him to the brink of death a mere six times, utterly insignificant.
A misfortune like this should befall a child kicked out by the family.
What's more is being pummeled by a Chen Family disciple, it's a family matter behind closed doors, better than being bullied by outsiders, does the Lin Family not care about their face?
From beginning to end, the only person who beat Lin Zixian to death and back was Chen Fei; no one else dared to touch this cause and effect.
The "Lord of the Sky" calculated everything to the extreme, even who would be the one to beat his own son.
Even those in power were willingly manipulated, no one is truly foolish.
Behind it all are unspoken transactions known mutually.
"... Help... help... I want to go back... woo woo... don't hit me..."
Lin Zixian, in the midst of rescue, mumbled unconsciously, after being treated, he was fed a bottle of nutrient solution and then thrown into the ability exhibition hall.
Everyone left, leaving only him, the sound of his whimpering cries echoed in the empty exhibition hall.
Weakness is original sin, losing the protection of the family, Lin Zixian, who boasts a proud surname, was beaten back to his true form.
Exiting the "Atlantis" Ability Users Administration Center, Chen Fei paused in his steps, turned his head to the silver-haired young female officer following him, and said, "Ginny, you can go rest now, and by the way, organize a report on Psi Skills for me."
"Where are you going?"
Ginny, now a member of Chen Fei's Guard Corps, was quite content being a little follower, completely uninterested in returning to the cluster of pervs in the Great Britain sovereignty organization.
Sovereignty is sovereignty, an individual is an individual, not everyone likes playing those small circle games of opposition with politicians.
"Top secret!"
Even though he brought her into his fold, Chen Fei was unwilling to trust her easily.
Not only did Miyoshi Monk teach Chen Fei that one must have a heart to harm others, and also a defensive heart, but even Boss Hana's personal experience confirmed in reality that not just brothers, even superiors can't be relied upon; they'll sell you without a moment's hesitation.
So at any time, never place your safety easily into someone else's hands.
In all of "Atlantis", Chen Fei only trusted two people, S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown, and the Earth Element Warrior Dang Wei Jun whom he personally recommended.
Birds of a feather flock together, those recommended as close guards have rigorous character requirements, privileged with some resources unknown to outsiders in the small circle of S-Class superpower users.
"Understood!"
The silver-haired female officer didn't doubt, stood at attention, saluted, and walked away with a steady gait.
"I don't trust her, keep an eye on her!"
Chen Fei seemed to be talking to himself, everyone out here is hustling, not a child who believes just because you say so; some things require time to prove.
The Earth Element Warrior Dang Wei Jun lightly pounded the chest armor of the "Dragon King".
After seeing Ginny off, Chen Fei unexpectedly returned to the Ability Users Administration Center.
Half an hour later, Chen Fei took off the detection headband and murmured to himself, "Psychic Power Index 2034, 'Adam', record this data and make a line graph."
Adam: Psychic Power Index line graph generation complete
A line graph immediately popped up in the AR visual assistance interface, not only marking the Psychic Power Index for each time segment but also with different-color horizontal lines separately marking the Superpower Level and magic rank grading lines for Psychic Power Users.
Since awakening his abilities, Chen Fei's Psychic Power Index has been growing at an unusually high rate, but the current speed has slowed considerably compared to immediately after awakening, gradually leveling off.
The unusually high Psychic Power Index, even uncommon among ordinary ability users, hasn't granted Chen Fei psychic abilities but endowed him with very high psychic resistance, making many Psychic Series Skills like Mental Shock, Illusion Technique, Charm, and Mind Reading ineffective against him.
The last segment of the line graph, however, unusually spiked, more precisely, it more than doubled.
According to the classification of Psychic Power Users, his Psychic Power Index should now be able to match an A-level Psychic Series Ability User and a First Rank Spellcaster.
"Huh? Why are you still here!"
A voice came, exactly from the S-Class Space Series Ability User who had disappeared for several days, teleporting to Chen Fei's current location.
Heseman Brown couldn't transfer back to Blue Star, but moving within the Star System was still not a problem.
"I need to confirm something, Mr. Brown. How's the harvest?"
Chen Fei turned his gaze to Heseman Brown, who had been communicating with other ability users lately.
"Don't mention it, no progress at all!"
S-Class Space Series Ability User Heseman Brown shook his head, disheartened.
"Don't worry about it, this is normal. Joint psi skills aren't so easy."
Chen Fei wasn't surprised at all. Supporting the other to do this was initially just a hit or miss attempt. If there were results, it would be like God giving face; no results were also expected.
Even a big figure like Louis Landon, having searched all registered ability users on Blue Star, could only gather a team capable of granting others "Spatial Branding," and then found no way to replicate this miracle, even if it was granting other abilities.
After all, the conditions needed to be met are too many, and there aren't enough suitable psi skills to choose from.
"Old Party, how do you feel following the 'Rookie'?"
Heseman Brown adjusted his disappointed mood and looked at Dang Wei Jun, who was following Chen Fei.
S-Class Ability Users always need some protective power, and Dang Wei Jun was one of the selectable members on the list.
"It's alright!"
Dang Wei Jun was the typical type who acted tough and talked little. He was better at drawing a knife to cut a person, so he didn't like participating in those intrigues, making him quite suitable to be by Chen Fei's side.
The S-Class Ability User looked at Chen Fei, and the latter also nodded, giving a thumbs-up without hesitation for the protective work these days.
"Dedicated and responsible, five-star good review!"
Silent and swift reaction are the best qualities of a close guard. The presence should be low, and they should appear timely when needed, that's enough.
What about eloquence, reading others' expressions, and being good-looking, are you sure you want a bodyguard, not some flashy weakling?
At least Chen Fei would never want that kind of person around to be an eyesore.
"Mr. Brown, can we develop it a bit?"
Chen Fei suddenly hinted at something.
"Hold on, 'Isolation'!"
Immediately guessing what Chen Fei wanted to say next, Heseman Brown promptly activated the psi skill "Isolation," cutting off the surrounding area within a yard and distorting the light to present a misty boundary.
If someone tries to eavesdrop on what the three were saying using lip reading, they would be as futile as lighting a candle in the wind.
After setting up all these preventive measures, Heseman Brown shook his head.
"He doesn't need it!"
Chen Fei directly asked, "How to solve the trust issue?"
Trust built on enough interest is directly proportional in reliability.
After all, there's nothing in this world that can't be sold; so-called loyalty is just the price not being enough.
Everyone here is an adult, and being realistic in actions and deeds is necessary. In an adult's world, conscience has long been devoured by dogs.
Their conversation did not shelter Dang Wei Jun, who was also within the "Isolation" range, so he could hear everything clearly.
"Haha, one is well-fed!"
The S-Class Ability User looked at the Earth Element Warrior.
"The whole family isn't hungry!"
Dang Wei Jun seamlessly continued with Heseman Brown.
The two exchanged a glance and laughed in unison.
After careful selection by the sovereigns, personnel who could make it into the protective list of S-Class Ability Users naturally possess trustworthy traits or conditions.
No attachments, no bad habits, without desires comes strength, combined with a steadfast mind, able to pass various tests, making it difficult for other forces to manipulate. Even attempting to successfully bribe them would require a hefty price, which may not even be worthwhile.
In a certain sense, raising the cost of betrayal is also an effective means to stabilize the trust relationship.
"OK!"
Even though Chen Fei still couldn't completely trust Dang Wei Jun, he was at least 90% relieved now. The remaining 10% needed various experiences to gradually be proven by facts.
After finishing a topic, Heseman Brown straightforwardly asked, "I heard you went to the place where 'Sagali' is, did you help me ask about the reason for restrictions or interference on the Space Series rules?"
"Forgot!"
Chen Fei spread his hands, he really just forgot.
