Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 277: Chapter 275 [Memory Palace·Basic]

Buzz——

A small Porsche tore through the air already almost enveloped by twilight, slowly stopping at the entrance of the villa area.

In a place like this, a small car of this brand isn’t actually rare. But the guard still cast a respectful gaze as it passed by.

——Because of the striking icy berry pink on the car’s body.

Such a dazzling color makes one involuntarily imagine what kind of beauty is seated in the driver’s seat.

Unfortunately, this car rarely appears, and the one-sided window blocks the view, leaving the under-thirty-year-old security guy unable to get a glimpse, only watching its exhaust fade away.

The pink car passes by the fountain, climbs a short mountain road, like a bright little pony, slowly searching for its home.

"Click——"

The automatic gate opens, and the Porsche that found its home seemed a bit unaccustomed, staggering into the garage, narrowly avoiding a scrape.

Inside the garage, there was already a same model car parked, differing only in color.

Lu Jia opened the car door, the slender high heels making a crisp "click" on the ground.

Unlike the usual impression given at "Yan Nuo Psychological Center," Lu Jia wasn’t wearing that office lady outfit today but wrapped in a caramel-colored coat, paired with a shirt inside, and silver-gray wide-leg suit pants below.

Not just the attire, even her temperament seemed a bit more assertive.

But after seeing the stardust gray of the same model by her beloved car, she immediately returned to a girlish excitement.

Lu Jia trotted back a few steps in her high heels, seriously comparing it with the look of a new toy, nodding in satisfaction.

"Besties living together should drive the same kind of car~"

"Wait... Since Pingting is back, that means..."

Lu Jia’s eyes lit up suddenly, sprinting out at a hundred-meter dash speed in her high heels, darting from the garage to the hall.

Upon reaching the doorstep, she suddenly braked with a speed almost defying the laws of inertia, quickly pulled a small mirror from her bag to check herself, then closed it with a "snap."

"Pingting?"

She called softly.

The truly strong, independent urban woman lifted her head at the sound, with an apron tied over an aged gray sweater, softening her temperament.

She was drying her still wet hands and greeted, "You’re back, ready for dinner... hey hey hey, what are you doing!"

Without a word, Lu Jia threw herself into Weng Pinting’s arms, the girl in her early twenties sniffing hard on Pingting’s neck with her small nose.

"Pingting, the contract is secured. That place was originally a business consulting company, the decor is quite good, just a few changes to the interior setup, and it can be used as a consultation room."

Lu Jia lifted her little face, "And the budget is 20% lower than expected~"

Weng Pinting wasn’t stingy with her praise, "Awesome!"

Lu Jia rubbed against Weng Pinting’s embrace again, then suddenly lowered her voice, "Pingting... has Mr. Nan moved in?"

"Uh-huh." Weng Pinting raised an eyebrow playfully.

Though it was a teasing expression, the tone was affirmative.

Lu Jia instantly got excited, "Then should I call him down for dinner now?"

Weng Pinting shook her head, raising a hand to point upstairs, "He’s sleeping now, better not disturb him."

Lu Jia blinked.

...

Nan Zhubin slowly sank into dreams.

Upon entering the dream consultation room, he immediately saw three lines of notifications.

[Life Development: Archive "case archive" 1 item (2/1), conduct 1 "Psychological Skill Deepening" upon completion]

[You have one [Psychological Skill Deepening] awaiting collection]

[You have one [Psychological Skill Deepening] awaiting collection]

The last two lines of text are not one notification appearing twice.

But rather two notifications, appearing legitimately.

At the same time, that eye-catching [(2/1)] reminded Nan Zhubin that he indeed completed two [case archiving].

No rush to accept the [Psychological Skill Deepening].

Nan Zhubin first fell into thought.

Originally Li Minglu’s case intervention fell into a bottleneck of tedious work, Nan Zhubin anticipated that the next [case archiving] might take several months to achieve.

Unexpectedly, today, two unexpected joys occurred in one day.

Completing two [case archiving] at once.

The first [case], obviously Dr. Chen.

Nan Zhubin had long noticed Dr. Chen’s oddness; objectively speaking, with Dr. Chen’s experience, something off was only natural.

But Nan Zhubin never considered Dr. Chen as a formal visitor for intervention, nor made any plans.

Just offered "help" in the capacity of a "friend."

And looking back now, Dr. Chen’s "help" process was truly irreplaceable — after all, Lin Lulin, in medical terms, made an indelible contribution with his own later life.

Therefore, Dr. Chen’s [archiving] was completely a pleasant surprise.

Nan Zhubin could accept this entirely.

And as for the second case...

Nan Zhubin calmed down, feeling his body in the dream, a sense of rebirth washed over him.

This new life reflected in mental speed, emotional sensation, and even physical response.

This feeling can only be recognized when comparing before and after.

"So..." Nan Zhubin pressed the spot on his chest, as if conversing with himself, or speaking to someone never met.

"The second case, is it myself?"

His voice echoed in the empty dream psychological consultation room, resonant but unanswered.

Only the office desk, computer, sofa, and bookshelf here, whose reality or illusion was unknown, responded to Nan Zhubin in silence.

"...Forget it."

After a while of silence, Nan Zhubin shook his head.

What’s past cannot be retrieved; focusing on the future is what should be done now.

"What’s before me now are two [Psychological Skill Deepening] opportunities!"

Nan Zhubin got excited.

[Micro-expression Analysis·Basic] and [Emotion Re-adjustment·Basic], both have already proved themselves in practice!

Nan Zhubin pondered: "During the last time receiving [Psychological Skill Deepening], there were already two ’deepening’ directions known."

"One is upgrading existing abilities; the other is acquiring a new ability..."

Nan Zhubin planned mentally.

If there were only one [Psychological Skill Deepening], he would certainly choose a new ability.

After all, the current two abilities are more than enough to handle the surrounding situations.

By comparison, Nan Zhubin wants to explore more possibilities.

But with two [Psychological Skill Deepening] available now, Nan Zhubin feels that "more than enough" is not enough.

While broadening possibilities, he also wants to delve deeper into his current field.

"Then... one to acquire new ability, one to upgrade ability!"

With a clash of thoughts, Nan Zhubin quickly made a decision.

"Let’s draw the new ability first!"

[You have claimed [Psychological Skill Deepening]]

[Please choose your deepening direction——]

[1. Upgrade an existing skill.]

[Current upgradable skills: [Micro-expression Analysis·Basic], [Emotion Re-adjustment·Basic]]

[2. Learn a new skill.]

"Choose ’2, learn a new skill’!"

What new ability will it be?

[You have chosen your deepening direction]

[You have mastered the skill [Memory Palace·Basic]]
