Father's Concern

"Be careful recently. If you find anyone approaching you abnormally, call me immediately." After Qiao Yi instructed him, Shen Yi left the Ability Bureau.
Although he hadn't taken these matters to heart while at the Ability Bureau, once outside, he was clearly much more cautious.
The first thing he thought of was calling home. Since he was on the Kill List, his family would surely be targeted.
He picked up his phone and dialed his home number.
"Hello, son." Feng Shu Yue's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mom, how's everything at home recently?" "Your dad and I are both fine. Your dad was just talking about you this morning, saying you've been at school for so many days and haven't called home." "It's good that nothing's wrong. When I have time, I'll come back to see you." "You study well there. Your dad now tells everyone he meets that you got into Capital Ability University; his mouth can't even close. See, today he wants to go out for drinks with his former colleagues again." Feng Shu Yue's voice was full of joy.
"What do you mean 'again'? I've worked hard my whole life, and my son finally has a future; can't I enjoy myself a bit?" Shen Qiu Lin's voice came through the phone.
"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Yi heard his mother scold him on the other end of the phone, then the two of them bickered for a few sentences.
"Son, do you want to talk to your dad?" "You stinky brat, how are you doing over there? Do you have enough money to spend?" Before Shen Yi could reply, Shen Qiu Lin took the phone and spoke.
"Enough to spend, don't worry about me." "You're in college now, not a child. Don't play games in the dorm every day." Hearing Shen Qiu Lin's words, Shen Yi smiled wryly. Are all parents in the world the same, unable to go three sentences without mentioning playing games?
"I know, Dad." "Good you know. Have you met any girls you admire at school?" Shen Qiu Lin asked again.
"Dad, how old am I? What admired girl? Shouldn't I be studying hard at school?" "No? Then you need to seize the time. You're in college and not even dating." There was a hint of disappointment in Shen Qiu Lin's voice.
"Dad, who told you that college is just about playing games and dating? And I'm only 18." Shen Yi was a bit helpless.
"Doesn't the internet all say that? If you can't hunt in the zoo, how will you hunt outside later?" Shen Yi: "....." Where did he get such bizarre theories?
"Dad, you should watch less of that messy stuff online in the future." "I think what they say makes a lot of sense. If you don't seize the opportunity now, you might end up alone later." "Dad!" A slap sound came from the other end of the phone, "Not serious for a day, talking nonsense with our son!"
"Son, don't listen to your dad's nonsense." "Study hard, and if you need anything, remember to tell Mom." Shen Yi didn't say many sentences after that; it was all his mother talking non-stop on the other end. Hearing that they were fine, Shen Yi also felt relieved.
Hanging up, he dialed Gu Hai Chuan's number again.
"Who is this?" Gu Hai Chuan's voice was still icy cold.
"It's me, Shen Yi. Have any suspicious people appeared near my home recently?" Shen Yi wasn't angry; he had gotten used to Gu Hai Chuan's way of speaking.
"A few days ago, there were some people loitering outside this villa. I sent them to the Ability Bureau; they were thieves." "Pay more attention recently." Then Shen Yi briefly told him about being on the Alien Race's Kill List.
"Understood." He said, then hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Yi's reply.
Putting his phone in his pocket, he headed back to school.
In the next few days, Shen Yi still went to the Combat System for studies in the mornings.
He had just learned the Basic Body Tempering Art and practiced diligently every day.
On the Life System side, not a single soul was seen every day; the dorm was empty even at night.
If he weren't attending classes in the Combat System, he would suspect he was the only one in this university.
His Life System teacher almost never taught classes; even when they did, it was just to test Ability control.
Early this morning, Shen Yi received a message on his phone.
[ Di Wu Ming ]
: Shen Yi, there's a mission today. Come to the classroom for class.
As soon as he arrived at the classroom, he saw that the other four were already there.
When they saw Shen Yi enter, Ji Yan glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued reading the book in her hand.
"Shen Yi, you're quite late today." Di Wu Ming greeted Shen Yi.
"Senior Di Wu, I haven't seen you all these past few days. What have you been doing?" Shen Yi also asked symbolically.
Di Wu Ming had a bitter expression, "I was doing a mission assigned by the teacher." "Me too. I don't know if this month's Accumulation Points will be enough; it's almost the end of the month in a few days." Feng Si Bao also looked a bit worried.
"If your Accumulation Points aren't enough, why aren't you hurrying to do missions? What are you doing here studying?" Zhou Wei Zhi, hearing his words, glared at him.
Feng Si Bao shrank his neck and said nothing more.
There were a total of five people in the Life System. Shen Yi was a freshman, not counted. For the other four, if even one person failed to meet the standard each month, all four would be punished.
"Senior, what kind of mission are you talking about?" Shen Yi walked beside Di Wu Ming and asked softly.
"You'll know when the teacher arrives. This is your freshman assessment mission, but this time, someone from our group will participate with you." Hearing Di Wu Ming's words, Shen Yi didn't press further, nodded gently, and returned to his seat.
Qian Hua Feng walked into the classroom, looked at the students in the room, "Shen Yi is a freshman, just arrived at our Capital Ability University. Many things are unclear, so today I'll explain it to you all again." "Our Capital Ability University, although divided into Combat System, Support System, and Life System, the teaching methods for each system are almost the same." "The people in our system are relatively special; they are all dual Ability Users. Therefore, the school specifically separated a Life System for teaching dual Ability Users." "The Combat System and Support System will have half of their time each month for students to go to Secret Realms. After all, Secret Realms are the best places to test one's strength." "Moreover, after Third Rank, having completed two Awakenings, in addition to self-cultivation, more cultivation resources need to be poured in." "And the easiest way to obtain cultivation resources is to go into Secret Realms." "Our Life System hasn't used its Secret Realm quota this month yet. Students going to Secret Realms need a teacher to accompany them. I don't have time recently, so who among you will take Shen Yi?" The so-called Secret Realm quota was a rigid indicator; all systems had to go to a Secret Realm once a month. This was also for the students, to allow them to have as much contact with Alien Races as possible and understand them.
The Life System was no exception; they had to go once a month.
After hearing this, Di Wu Ming was the first to speak, "Teacher, my mission is currently not completed." Qian Hua Feng nodded, "Who else doesn't have a mission?" No one spoke. Finally, Ji Yan stood up, "I'm free; I can go with him."
