Seeing each other again after four months, Xu Shengnan was so enthusiastic that he almost overturned Ji Xing's chair.
The office was very lively. If Ji Xing had not informed him in advance, the reserve number hunter who was responsible for his safety would have come to kill him.
"I should have thought of it earlier. I had your walkie-talkie all the way here. With your contribution, it is normal for you to be given the rank of associate professor." After letting go of Ji Xing, Xu Shengnan stood behind Ji Xing and held his shoulders.
He was happy for him and said: "It seems that unlike me who was repeatedly censored, you have been free long ago, and you will use your power to seek sister's happiness?
Xiao Ai, why did you get your hair to be this color?"
Xiao Ai smiled and said, "I like this color, and Li He also liked it, so I dyed it."
Xu Shengnan clicked his tongue, and then he remembered Yi Nan who was standing cautiously at the door, and said: "Yi Nan, these are the Li He and Li Ai I told you about, just call them Brother Li He and Sister Xiao Ai.
"
She then said to Ji Xing Xiaoai: "Do you still remember Yi Nan's name? The child that Lao Luo brought up when he was at White Tiger Fortress told us about it."
"I know." Ji Xing smiled and said, "My current authority is enough to get his information. Hello, Yi Nan, I am Li He."
"Brother Li He, hello." Yi Nan responded quickly: "There's also Sister Xiaoai."
Under Ji Xing's superb disguise, he was completely unable to recognize and had no reason to recognize that Li He was Ji Xing, with a slightly reserved look on his face.
Ji Xing looked at the first child he met after time travel, and saw that the childishness in him had completely faded away. He felt a little touched by the reunion, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Sit down, Yi Nan."
Yi Nan hesitated, and Xu Shengnan immediately turned around and pulled him to sit down: "Don't be formal, Yi Nan, Li He and Xiao Ai are my best friends, and they will also be your friends in the future. There is no need to treat them as scientists, as brothers and sisters."
That’ll be fine.”
"Oh..." Yi Nan observed Xiao Ai Ji Xing.
Xu Shengnan shook his head: "This child is like this. When we are not familiar with each other, she is as shy as a little girl. She just needs to get in touch with her a few times. Speaking of Li He, is it inconvenient for you to leave the institute now? Or are there really any experiments that we need our help with?
?”
"We'll talk about the business later." Ji Xing took out a small box from the table and said with a smile: "Let's play a few games first, "Who is the Monster"."
Xu Shengnan was stunned and looked at the box.
She knew about the game "Who is the Monster"? It was one of the blindfold games created by Li He in order to avoid forcing all the hunters in the Hunter Guild to play Monster Killer when the Monster Killer was created.
She knew the rules, but she had never played them.
Why are you suddenly playing this?
"This box has just been opened, and Xiao Ai and I don't know what words are in it, so don't worry about us cheating. Do you need me to explain the rules, Sister Shengnan, Yi Nan?" Ji Xing asked.
Xu Shengnan shook his head.
Yi Nan scratched his head, wondering why he suddenly started playing, and said, "I played it in the fortress."
"That's good. Sister Shengnan, will you draw a group?"
The four-player gameplay of "Who is the Monster" is very simple. There are four cards in a set, and the cards drawn by the three hunters have the same words. The cards drawn by the monster have words similar to those of the hunters, but different.
When each of the four people does not know the cards, each of the four people expresses the word in words. It cannot be too obvious to be noticed by the monster, and it cannot be too outrageous to be considered a monster.
After each person makes two rounds of statements, he votes for the monster. If he votes correctly, he loses, and if he votes incorrectly, he wins.
Xu Shengnan drew a set of words, and each of the four people drew a word. They quietly observed that the word used by Ji Xing and the others was "pig's trotters", but Xu Shengnan's word was... "feet"!
Guessing the order, Yi Nan was the first.
Yi Nan (Pig Trotter) thought for a while and said: "This thing... is quite common."
Xiao Ai (Pig's Trotter): "Some of these things are big and some are small."
Ji Xing (Pig Trotters): "Well, I like a little fat, but not too fat."
Xu Shengnan, who was holding the 'foot' card, had a flash of confusion in his eyes. Li He, there is a child here. Your statement...isn't very good, is it?
She hesitated and said, "Some of these things have a strong taste, and some have a light taste."
She was describing 'feet', but she was right to say pig's trotters. Yi Nan didn't analyze who the monster was from this round. He was experienced and knew that the second round had to be a little more obvious, otherwise he would be voted out.
, and since I mentioned the taste...
"I rather... like to eat it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of Sister Shengnan next to him were as wide as copper bells, looking at him in extreme surprise and even horror.
"You... like to eat (feet)?!"
Yi Nan was startled and said in confusion: "Sister Sheng Nan, don't you like to eat it? Woohoo -"
As soon as the words came out, his mouth was blocked by Xu Shengnan's hand. Xu Shengnan said angrily: "You kid, I asked you not to be cautious, but I didn't let you relax like this! Who are you eating - eh?"
She paused suddenly, and then she thought about whether there was something wrong with her. She glanced at Ji Xing Xiaoai, and the two of them burst out laughing instantly.
"Sister Shengnan, what is your word?"
Okay, there is no need to vote this time. Xu Shengnan turned over the 'foot' card wordlessly and asked: "What are you... pig's trotters, no wonder they want to eat them even if they are fat? You're cheating me!"
Rolling his eyes at Ji Xing and Xiao Ai who were laughing loudly, Xu Shengnan heard Yi Nan next to him ask doubtfully: "Sister Shengnan, even if it's your feet, you don't have to react so much, right? You didn't chew your own when you were young.
Feet? What’s wrong with eating?”
Ji Xing and Xiao Ai stopped laughing, and looked at each other in tacit understanding. Ji Xing blinked, Xiao Ai rolled her eyes, and started laughing at the same time.
Looking at the innocent and confused Yi Nan, Xu Shengnan was silent for a while, then let out a loud laugh and instantly covered Ji Xing and the two of them.
"Hahaha... It's nothing, it's nothing. Yi Nan, you are right, there is no problem in eating feet! Hahahahaha——"
Three people laughed and one was confused.
The laughter didn't stop after that.
When friends get together to play this kind of game, it can enhance their relationship. Soon Yi Nan lost the sense of unfamiliarity and started laughing with them.
Soon in the eighth round, Ji Xing drew "fragrant", while the other three drew "stinky". Ji Xing said in his explanation: "Xiao Ai often smells like this."
Xiao Ai gave him a blank look.
Xu Shengnan's laughter instantly broke through the roof, and even people fell under the chairs. Yi Nan, who was embarrassed to laugh loudly, also kept laughing.
At this moment, Ji Xing and Xiao Ai suddenly each took out an instrument, one pinched Yi Nan's wrist, the other pinched Xu Shengnan's wrist, and said: "Sister Shengnan, Yi Nan, hurry up! Input spiritual power!"
The two of them did it reflexively.
Then, for a moment, Xu Shengnan got up and said: "Measurement of spiritual power fluctuations? What to do, Li He, we both took the test when we entered the research institute."
"The data will change." Ji Xing looked at the instrument in his hand: "If the fluctuation range of Yi Nan's spiritual power when he first entered the institute is taken as normal 1, his current fluctuation range of spiritual power will be around 4.5."
Xiao Ai also checked the instrument and said: "Sister Shengnan, you only go from 1 to 1.2."
Xu Shengnan frowned: "What do you mean? Is it better to have large fluctuations or small fluctuations?"
"Big fluctuations are a good thing, small fluctuations are not necessarily a bad thing." Ji Xing explained: "Sister Shengnan, you must have heard this story - a certain hunter faced a stronger monster than himself in order to protect ordinary people.
At that time, he burst out with powerful power, and he died together with the demons, and even fought back."
Xu Shengnan nodded slightly.
"Well, indeed, there are many examples of such seniors... Is it related to the amplitude of this spiritual power fluctuation?"
"Yes, it is a kind of potential stimulated by strong emotions, which can also be called spiritual power. When a more powerful force is erupted, if he already possesses spiritual power, then the fluctuation range of his spiritual power will definitely be far greater than ordinary
Time is big."
Ji Xingdao: "This method can also be used to distinguish cold-blooded monsters from humans. The spiritual power of monsters, that is, the amplitude of magic power, will never exceed 1.5 times the normal level. Combined with the magic manifesting needle, we ensure that there will be no problems for teams above the numbered hunter
The main method is much more effective than killing monsters."
"In short, it's just that Yi Nan is more likely to explode than sister, and we can confirm that he is definitely not a demon based on the amplitude of his spiritual power. It's not certain that he is 1.2 times that of sister..." Xu Shengnan said hesitantly.
"No, Sister Shengnan." Xiao Ai explained from the side: "This kind of thing will also change with age and experience. The more mature and rational you are, the more adaptable you will be to stimulation. It's just a game, and the stimulation for you will be the same.
It’s only this big, even if you laugh happier than us, and Yi Nan is very reserved on the surface, his brain gets much more excitement than you do, and the amplitude of the fluctuations in his spiritual power is greater."
Ji Xing added: "The seniors at the institute have an unconfirmed conjecture. The reason why demons rarely attack humans is because they at least show their true colors in front of people at the moment of sneak attacks. It may be that when people are frightened and frightened, their brains secrete
An 'N substance', and this substance is a tonic for demons and can help them improve their strength.
At the same time, for numbered hunters, N-substance is a thing that promotes spiritual power fluctuations and helps people exert power beyond their limits."
"Sister Shengnan, you passed this game from 1 to 1.2, proving that you don't care about winning or losing at all, and you just gain happiness in this game. I think if I test you the moment you know that Honghong is a demon god, your fluctuations will be at least
There will be 5.
As for Yi Nan, he enjoys the joy of fighting wits and courage, gambling, etc. in this game, so the fluctuation range will be larger. Of course, 4.5 times is something I did not expect. I predicted it to be around 2.5, which proves that Yi Nan has extraordinary abilities.
Explosive talent."
Xu Shengnan smacked his lips: "Why did you suddenly start playing games? What kind of experiment is this?"
Yi Nan, who understood, asked: "Brother Li He, I...is this a good thing?"
Ji Xing thought for a moment: "Whether it's a good thing or not is a matter of debate. Under normal circumstances, this talent is useless unless there is a life or death crisis.
But now I have an experiment and a conjecture - this N substance may also be the thing that prompts numbered hunters to master supernatural powers and even determines the type of supernatural powers. And Yi Nan, you happen to be in the stage of awakening spiritual power but have not yet awakened.
At the stage of superpowers, are you willing to try to speed up and awaken your superpowers with my help?"
Yi Nan was startled and glanced at Xu Shengnan.
Ji Xing added: "Maybe you will speed up your awakening with my help, maybe it will slow down, maybe you will awaken a stronger ability, maybe you will awaken a weaker ability, so you have to decide this matter yourself——
Personally, I am quite confident and sure, but I cannot give you a 100% guarantee.”
Xu Shengnan looked around. If it were herself, she would definitely choose to trust Ji Xing. Unfortunately, she has already awakened her superpower.
It is true that this kind of thing will determine Yi Nan's future. Although she believes that Ji Xing will not mess around, she can't say anything.
Yi Nan thought quietly for a while and said, "Brother Li He, what should I do?"
"Dare you believe me?" Ji Xing said, "You are the first experimental sample and I have no experience."
After making the decision, Yi Nan nodded without hesitation: "I want to become stronger faster. Brother Li He, you won't hurt me. I'm willing to give it a try!"
Ji Xing smiled: "So... first of all, do you have any hobbies? Anything is fine."
"Um...chess, okay?"
"Okay, that's great!" Ji Xing laughed and walked back to the table and took out a chess set: "I happen to have some here, let's play a game?"
Yi Nan's eyes shone slightly, and Xu Shengnan suddenly became happy. She remembered that her father often fell into the trap of Li He and always liked to give orders. Now Yi Nan would kill him to pieces.
But what surprised her was that after the chess was laid out, Yi Nan's expression changed, but then the two of them were fighting inextricably and ended in a draw!
She knew a little bit about chess and complained: "Yi Nan, you look like a master, but at this level... it's really just a hobby. Why can't you even win against Li He?"
Yi Nan scratched his head and said with a smile: "I only studied for more than a month. Then I went to White Tiger Fortress and didn't have much time to play chess... Ah, no..."
Halfway through his words, he realized that it was inappropriate to say this. He quickly looked at Ji Xing and saw that Ji Xing had a speechless expression.
"Ku——" Xu Shengnan burst into laughter.
Xiao Ai pinched Xu Shengnan's wrist with the spiritual power fluctuation measuring device and said slyly: "Li He, the amplitude of sister Shengnan's spiritual power fluctuation has increased to 1.4."
Ji Xing shook his head helplessly. He couldn't throw away the stinky chess basket character of Li He for the time being. He also went to use the spiritual power fluctuation measuring device to measure Yi Nan.
"Oh, it's actually 6.6?"
He wanted to give Yi Nan a little help, but he didn't expect that this kid seemed to be really... very talented!
