Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 129 Spiritual

Chu Deng, who had already awakened, reported to the furnace on time every day to consolidate his level one ability, but he had to wait fourteen days. Fearing that it would delay Chu Deng's progress, Bai Xinxin took the initiative to teach Chu Deng the base rules and some training techniques for ability users in advance.

"After everyone awakens, there will be a period of intensive training, followed by missions with the team. In the early stages, there will be missions such as patrolling, clearing low-level alien plants, and driving away low-level alien beasts. Each mission will earn corresponding points, which can be exchanged for resources such as money, crystal cores, and alien plants..." Bai Xinxin said a few more words when she saw that Chu Deng was interested.

"Where did Jie Muyun go?" Chu Deng asked after Bai Xinxin finished speaking and went to drink water.

Bai Xinxin glanced at her with some surprise, because Chu Deng was usually quite aloof, and she didn't expect her to care about Jie Muyun, who had nothing to do with her. "She's sick and is receiving treatment."

Li Sisan meant that if given ten days, she had a fifty percent chance of solving the problem. If everything went smoothly, Jie Muyun could even become a level one fire-type ability user before the awakening training ended.

The cost, of course, is not small.

Bai Xinxin thought about the amount on the document she handed to Director Hu Lan for signature, and thought to herself, it's all built on money. Xie Muyun's situation is a disaster, and she'll have to pay out of her own pocket to work for the base in the future.

"Can I go see her?" Chu Deng asked.

"Not for now," Bai Xinxin said, shaking her head.

Chu Deng remained silent and continued cultivating in the furnace. After Bai Xinxin finished her guidance, Chu Deng directly connected with Fei Ling's consciousness and helped Wu Yun reorganize the undisciplined crow underlings who had just occupied the port of Haishi.

"Brother, look! The big crow is scolding the little crow!" The snotty-nosed child pointed at Chu Deng and the little crow and laughed.

Chu Deng slapped a wing at the underling who was defecating on the tourist's head. He learned this trick from Wu Yun, which doesn't hurt the brain, so Wu Yun wouldn't have to deal with a bunch of mentally challenged underlings.

"So you can't run around, or your big brother will teach you a lesson like a big crow." The older brother was teaching his younger brother according to his own aptitude. He handed his brother a tissue to wipe his nose and saw the big crow he was using as a teaching material staring at the fries he was selling to his brother.

No, really? The kid's older brother couldn't help but clutch the box of fries tightly.

The moment he moved, the large crow swept past him like a gust of wind, its nimble claws hooking onto the French fry box, and flew away over his head.

"My fries! Bad crow, bad crow, waaaah!" The child immediately burst into tears.

"Caw caw caw caw!" The little crow, who had just been the butt of jokes, was now gloating.

Chu Deng landed on the tree, took a French fry from the box, and started eating.

Mmm, smells delicious! No wonder the crows in the dark clouds love to fight over the food. Not only is it tasty, but it's also really satisfying to see the tourists who are angry about being robbed but can't do anything about it!

That's the fun of robbery!

"It's much more fun than staying in the furnace and cultivating alone," Chu Deng thought.

"Don't cry, Daidai. I'll buy you a new one. Consider that box a gift for the crow, okay?" The older brother wasn't angry and tried his best to coax his angry younger brother.

"Okay, okay, hiccup—" The child wiped away his tears, obediently let his older brother wipe his snot, and only reluctantly agreed after hiccuping.

Just as the two were about to leave, the older brother suddenly felt a darkness above his head and a weight on his shoulder. He turned around, somewhat incredulous and surprised, and saw the large crow that had just stolen their fries perched on his shoulder, pecking at its feathers with its beak, its claws hooking the balloon that his younger brother had carelessly released to the top of a tree.

He bought fries to comfort his brother because the balloon had flown away, but unexpectedly, the crow helped them get it down. How clever!

"Thank you!" The boy's voice trembled. Half of his shoulder was stiff, and he dared not move for fear that the crow would fly away. He had never been so close to birds before. He carefully took the thin rope from the crow's claw.

"Caw!" Chu Deng called out in response to the boy's older brother, then called to the crow brother who was watching the show, telling it to go back to the dark clouds, while she flapped her wings and flew off to play on the sea.

"Brother, is it a good crow or a bad crow?" The child blankly raised his hand, letting his older brother tie the balloon string around his wrist, and asked in confusion as he watched the big crow's figure disappear into the distance.

"Well, you can decide for yourself." The boy's older brother continued to teach according to his aptitude, leaving the young and dazed boy with a difficult problem.

This scene was posted online by a curious tourist with the title "[All things have spirits - This crow did this to a child!]". The artistic and clickbait title attracted some viewers, and the comments were filled with personal stories of animals with spirits that people had encountered, making it impossible to finish watching in less than a few hours.

"Last winter, my grandfather was heating up in the countryside when the heater caught fire with the blankets. He was fast asleep, but his rooster kept crowing and managed to save his life! When I went back to my hometown to visit my grandparents, my grandmother wanted to kill the rooster for me to eat, but my grandfather refused. That's when my grandmother found out about it. Now they treat the rooster like their grandson."

"I was taking a shortcut through a dark alley in the middle of the night when I heard footsteps following me. I was getting scared when suddenly I heard dogs barking. I was terrified because I had been bitten by a dog when I was a child, so I ran away as fast as I could. When I got out of the alley and looked back, I saw a dark figure being chased by several dogs at the other end. The next day, I went to ask around the neighborhood, and everyone said that no one in the area kept dogs. Isn't that strange? The dogs didn't bite me, but they bit the person who was following me! I'm still a little scared now."

"You guys all rescue people with animals? Let me tell you a scary story. Once, I was waiting for the bus and saw a rat bigger than a cat crawl out of the sewer. It gouged out a stray cat's eyes, bit the cat's neck until it died, and then dragged the cat's body into the sewer. It was so damn scary! I had nightmares about it for a week!"

"Me too! Me too! I'm a snake breeder, and recently I noticed that a few of my baby snakes had mysteriously disappeared. Checking the security footage, I found that the adult snake had swallowed the baby snakes! The probability of this happening is low, but I could understand. So I increased the amount of food for the adult snake, and guess what?! My super-secured combination lock incubator was knocked open by the adult snake! The snake that escaped had reflective scales under the security camera! Before it ran out the window, it even sabotaged the security camera! I still can't forget its last look! It was so cold and piercing, filled with murderous intent, like it wanted to tear me to pieces! I rushed back to my hometown that very night!"

Comments like these flooded the comments section of the video, creating a massive thread. As viewers read the comments, the video was repeatedly played, increasing its views. The video even went viral, and the increased viewership sparked even more discussion, remaining on the trending topics list for over ten minutes before gradually fading away.

The internal staff responsible for network monitoring had become accustomed to this, and such topics had been appearing from time to time recently. After gradually reducing the heat of the discussion through familiar procedures, they adopted a "cold treatment" approach.

As mentioned above, the announcement will be made in a month. At that time, these video materials can be used for popular science, leaving an impression on the public first. This will reduce the resistance when the superpower is announced.
