Lisius sat at the dining table with his wife and daughter, and the maid served today's pre-dinner soup as usual.
Soft lighting, various tableware like works of art. Special coats of arms representing the Lysius family can be seen everywhere on the surrounding walls, floor tiles, and furniture.
These are the assets he has accumulated little by little through his own efforts over the years, without relying on his family.
Looking across at the blond, charming wife and daughter who has grown up and become a big girl.
Lisius just wanted everything in front of him to continue forever.
Warmth, comfort, satisfaction, and all kinds of positive emotions constantly surged in his mind.
"By the way, dear, prepare three of the same gifts for me as before. In addition, prepare two more houses in the Silver Belt District. I want to arrange for a few people to live in them."
Lisius suddenly spoke up.
"Yeah, I understand." His current wife is both his family member and his secretary, so arranging these things is quite easy.
"Are you going to send money and sponsors again?" Daughter Bella pouted her lips slightly dissatisfied.
"Dad, you didn't even buy me the aircraft I wanted last time. You still give money to people you don't know every year. Am I not your biological daughter?" she complained.
Indeed, although Lisius is the highest official of the Hidden City, he has many powers and channels.
But he also needs to take care of his own network every year, and every time he has to sponsor the talented officers discovered by Hidden City to go to the Silver Belt District for further training.
"But Bella is right. After so many years, aren't the people you have funded still of no use?" His wife also advised with some helplessness.
Lisius smiled. It was indeed true. He had supported them for so many years, and also used family connections to arrange food and accommodation for these officers, and even settled some troubles.
It cost a lot and put in a lot of favors, but the harvest was very little.
Not only the family members, but also the other elders in the family had quite a few complaints.
But he persisted.
"Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. I believe that my efforts will not be in vain."
Dudu.
Suddenly, a prompt sound came from the personal terminal.
Generally, Risius's personal terminal will rarely have a prompt sound unless there is something particularly important.
At the level he is currently at, many things are no longer important to him.
But if the terminal rings, it means there is something he must pay attention to.
Lisius turned on the terminal projection and projected a light curtain on his retina.
The light curtain is displaying a message.
‘Lisius, come to the Silver Belt District for a drink together when you have time.’ Wei He.
Want a drink? Lisius hadn't realized it yet. Generally, people with a personality like Wei He's would rarely ask people out for dinner and drinks to celebrate.
But now he actually takes the initiative to invite me for a drink?
He was about to ask what good thing had happened, but inadvertently, he saw the sun mark that had just been certified under Wei He's portrait.
"puff."
The drink in his mouth almost spit out.
What the hell!?
This guy Wei He? He actually broke through to the light!? Is this a joke?
He thought about many people and many geniuses breaking through the light, but Wei He was not the only one.
It's not that Wei He doesn't have this possibility, but the probability of this possibility is too low.
If the other talented officers he has funded have a 20% chance, then Wei He has a 2% chance.
So now I suddenly see that Wei He suddenly jumped from the storm to the light.
This shock and confusion was the reason why Lisius lost his composure.
"Is the certification next to your kid's profile picture real?"
"What do you think?" Wei He.
"Really a breakthrough? Isn't it a fake certification?" Lisius reached out and picked at it, only to realize that it was a retinal projection. The certification sun cannot be removed.
"We made a breakthrough. It cost a lot of money and energy, but the result is not bad." Wei He said with a smile.
"You..." Lisius was speechless.
He shook his head, breaking through the light was not such a simple matter. This meant that a light family that had been around for at least four hundred years was about to be established.
"I never would have thought that the first person in my circle to break through would be you! Illumination, you are so good!
Awesome! This way, I can have more friends to drink with in the Silver Belt District." Lisius.
"Don't come to me if you have nothing to do. Come back if you have something to do." Wei He said with a smile. His relationship with Lisius was not an ordinary friendship.
At first, Lisius trusted him and risked his life to wait for his return. Later, when he was wronged, Lisius also made great efforts to help him find someone.
Therefore, an ordinary relationship is no longer enough to equal the friendship between two people now.
"You're still the same kid, but no one would have thought that you would be the first to break through in your generation." Lisius said with emotion.
Countless storm levels, hundreds of years of hard work, and countless money spent, for what? Isn’t it just the little sun certification next to the avatar?
And now, Wei He has done it.
He successfully stood out from so many storms and became the dazzling one.
"It's meaningless to talk about succession. Let's talk about it later." Wei He.
"good."
Communication hung up.
Lisius sat in his original position and remained silent for a long time, his face naturally showing emotion.
"What's going on?" His wife was a little worried. She rarely saw Lisius behave like this because of other things.
He has always been calm and emotionless.
"It's nothing, it's a good thing." Lisius smiled, "Do you still remember the Wei He I tried my best to help last time?"
"Remember, what happened? I remember that we spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to get it done." The wife nodded, "Did he ask you for help again?"
She was a little worried.
"No, he broke through the light and asked me to go to the Silver Belt District for a drink." Lisius smiled broadly.
"He also said that if you have anything to do in the future, remember to look for him!"
"Have you broken through the light?" The wife was stunned. She and her daughter both knew how difficult it was to break through the light.
Originally, my wife had complained about the time she helped Wei He before, but now, looking at the old man who was smiling happily, she suddenly understood why he persisted in supporting Wei He for so many years.
Even though we have funded so many people, as long as one or two cross that line, it will be a long-term help to the family in the future.
But all the previous expenses seemed to be worth it now.

The news of Wei He's breakthrough in illumination spread silently throughout many circles around him like the wind.
Sri Lanka, who was practicing physical combat in the army, was almost knocked over by a slap from the opposite sparring partner.
He fell to the ground and couldn't get up at all. He looked at Wei He's profile picture in the address book and laughed outright.
In his own circle, Lao Wei, who had a good relationship with him, broke through the light, which was undoubtedly good news.
And it’s still great news.
At the Silver Belt District Supervision Department, Bilian was returning to the headquarters after leading a team to perform a mission.
I just dragged my tired body into the gate of the Supervision Department.
She then saw several colleagues walking towards her, staring at her with strange eyes.
She just came back from the outside. She has been away solving the last case these days and preparing to go to the alien planet.
Now that I see this scene, I don’t know what happened.
"Bilian, you are the one!" Yingte, who had competed with her for the position of deputy minister, held a glass of water, walked past her with her buttocks in a skirt, and gave her a thumbs up.
"??" Bilian was a little confused, what do you mean?
"Sister Bilian, congratulations, we must treat you!" Two subordinates from the Supervision Department stood up from their seats and congratulated her with a hint of envy in their smiles.
"Congratulations on what I am doing? Is there anything good you can do?" Bilian kept smiling and walked to her seat.
"My brother-in-law broke through the spotlight and was promoted at the same time. Isn't it worthy of congratulations?" a baby-fat subordinate with double ponytails said sweetly.
"Break through the light?" Bilian was stunned, what does it mean?
She was in seclusion for the past two days because Wei He was in seclusion, and she was also outside closing cases. She was so busy that she didn't pay attention to this at all.
Now that she heard her subordinate mention this, she was a little stunned.
Wei He? Break through the light?
Isn't he in retreat?
And is lighting so easy to break through?
Bi Lian didn't believe it.
"Sister, didn't you see his official certification mark? It's right next to the profile picture. It's such a big one." A subordinate asked in surprise. She really didn't know when she saw Bilian.
Bilian quickly opened her personal terminal and looked at Wei He's personal avatar.
Sure enough, I saw a sun mark on the side.
For her who comes from a big family, this mark is not uncommon, so she recognized it at a glance as an officially certified mark.
Wei He, only when he has truly achieved enlightenment can he be qualified to receive this mark certification!
"Unexpectedly" she stood there, stunned for a moment.
She thought about many possibilities and her future life.
I thought about working hard to make progress, and after entering the light industry, I could redeem various genetic devices for my husband to extend his life.
But I never expected that Wei He would enter the light.
And he entered earlier than she did!
Quickly searching the webpage, she also found public information. However, she looked at the information above.
Everything made her feel like she was dreaming, but the congratulations from people around her kept reminding her that this was not a dream.
Bilian clicked on Wei He's communication interface.
"Why didn't you tell me? Such a big thing?"
A reply soon came from there.
"It's still consolidating, I haven't had time to tell you." Wei He is indeed still consolidating his spiritual power.
Between the light and the storm, the leap and sublimation of spiritual energy required him to become familiar with and master it again.
So until now, he has not informed anyone and has been stabilizing himself.
I didn't expect that my wife already knew about it in advance.
"Do you want to go home later?" The corners of Bilian's mouth curled up unconsciously. All the worries she had about Wei He disappeared at this moment.
A feeling of happiness, satisfaction, and expectation kept pouring out of her heart.
"Yeah. I'll see you after get off work later." Wei He replied affirmatively.
The conversation between the two was as normal as usual.
But compared to before, their moods were different.
Crossing the light represents too many things, not just themselves. It affects the people around them as well.
