When I arrived, Cher was laid down on the bed that I had summoned from the old man, and she was sleeping quietly next to me.

Cher, I'm finally seeing you again. The thought of being able to wake her up right away made me feel so excited, and there were so many things I wanted to say to her, whether it was pain or sorrow, joy or joy, I wanted to tell her right away and share it with her, because she was half of my body, the person I loved the most.

With the potion in hand, I walked towards Cher step by step, although it was only a few steps away, I still felt that it was so long, I wanted to teleport over like Xiao Lao. At this time, my hands were trembling, so even though I wanted to go faster, my steps were very slow, for fear that my hands would shake and throw this hard-won potion to the ground.

When I got to Cher, I leaned down and was about to open the cap with excitement.

"Boy, I need to warn you before I give you the medicine." Xiao Lao's voice sounded in my ears, and I hurriedly stopped the movements in my hand, could it be that this medicine still has side effects? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but concentrate my attention, but everything related to Xue'er must be careful and careful.

"Although the Sleep One virus has been developed to alleviate it, that is, the bottle of medicine in your hand, there is still a part of the structure of the virus itself that has not been studied, so this medicine is only a symptom but not a cure. And because this virus is too domineering, so in order to better suppress it, the amount of medicine in the medicine is very large, although the side effects have been optimized as much as possible, but this bottle may still have a bad impact on her body, the light is not well in a short period of time, and even the life expectancy may be reduced in serious cases, but it can undoubtedly wake up at the first time. ”

"Therefore, some people have found another way to take the medicine, which is to take it each time, which can minimize the damage, but if you want to wake the patient up, the dose required is not one, but three."

"So it's up to you exactly how to do it, okay, I'm done." With that, he sat down again and drank his tea, while I fell silent after listening to his words.

On the one hand, it is the torment of not being able to see my lover, and on the other hand, it is the side effects of the medicine, what should I do? If I look at it from Cher's standpoint, she will definitely choose to see me sooner, even if it will bring danger to her, and for me, I also want to see Cher immediately, and sometimes thinking about this kind of thing is more unbearable than killing people with a blunt knife.

But can I really do that? No, I can't do that, I can't ignore her safety because of my feelings, even if I try to get Cher to wake up, I can't let her be hurt because of it, even if it's just possible.

My hand was placed on the cap of the potion several times, and then put it down several times, and the inner entanglement was put to the maximum at this moment, I really wanted to see her so much, I wanted her to wake up so much, I loved her too much. If we keep waiting, who knows how long it will take to find the other two vials? Who can guarantee that I will be able to complete the SSS-class mission? What's more, there are still two, is it difficult to go to the old man for help? No, I would never do that, because that would be tantamount to betraying my bottom line.

"Elder Yoi." I asked in a low voice, with a frown.

"Say." Yoi replied casually.

"If I try to learn from you, is it possible to get the other two bottles of potion?"

Xiao Lao smiled, "It turns out that you kid can also use honorifics, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is naturally possible." ”

"How long will it take?"

"It's hard to say, the SSS-level mission itself is extremely difficult, and the nature of other missions is completely different, I dare not say that you will definitely be able to pass, but in three years, as long as you can persevere for three years, I dare to guarantee that you can get the opportunity to challenge the SSS-level mission."

Without answering, I took a deep look at Cher, kissed her on the lips, walked over to Xiao Lao, and returned the potion, "Until then, please help me keep it." ”

Xiao Lao didn't stretch out his hand, just nodded with satisfaction, and the potion disappeared out of thin air, "Very good, you have the style I had back then." As soon as I raised my hand, everything in front of me began to change rapidly, and in a blink of an eye the stars in the sky were replaced by daylight, and the surrounding scenery flowed, and a lake appeared at our feet, and we stepped on the platform erected on it, and in front of me appeared a wooden house, which was not small, two stories high, with a complex and beautiful structure, and the sun sprinkled on the roof, quite out of the world.

"This is my place of residence, and it is also a view of this world, and I thought it was a good place to build a wooden house, and you can live here in the future." As he spoke, Xiao Lao threw me a strange-shaped key, "You can't use it yet, but in a few days, you will be able to control it, it is together with the teleportation device in this room, your genetic information has been registered, and only you can use it, and the energy to drive it also needs to be provided by you, how to do it, I will talk about it later." ”

I saw that Xiao Lao waved again, and we came to the house, and Xue'er was also sent to the bed. Elder Xiao looked at me and asked, "Did you really decide to do this?" ”

I nodded, knowing he was asking about potions.

"Since it's been decided, then your female companion will live here for the time being, otherwise staying by your side will affect you." With that, the old man moved slightly, and the scenery in front of me changed again, and by the time I came back to my senses, we were already standing outside the gates of the City of Truth.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"Go see an old friend and borrow something from him by the way."

"Then why don't you just teleport over, which high-level member of the alliance is your old friend, it's not a short distance from here."

"I always use my own 'reason' to travel, my legs and feet are not neat, I want to walk today, and by the way, I will take advantage of this time on the road to tell you some knowledge."

Following Xiao Lao, we walked towards the city, Xiao Lao's pace was not fast, and even deliberately slowed down. As I walked inside, I found a miraculous sight that seemed to be invisible to the people around me, even the guards stationed at the city gates, and I couldn't help but think to myself: if this old man had gone to steal, he would have made a lot of money.

"Stinky boy, don't stick your crooked ideas on me, I usually have a dead face, and I have a lot of bad ideas in my head." Xiao Lao glanced at me and said.

Forget that he can also read minds, "Peering on other people's thoughts is a loss of identity." I said.

"Hmph, the stinky boy wants you to take care of it." Xiao Lao said, his tone was a little child's temper, but such a sentence came out of the mouth of an old man like him, which sounded quite disobedient, and I couldn't help but complain secretly in my heart.

"There is no limit to your ability to read minds?" I asked, for my own teacher, sometimes I will also think, his ability as a controller is too strong, teleportation is nothing, and he can be completely unnoticed by others like this, summon items out of thin air, read minds, and even create the world, but even then he is not the strongest of the nine stars, if the first of the nine stars is more powerful than Xiao Lao, then in the alliance, the human race can go sideways, there is no need to ally with the other two races, isn't it easy to do anything?

Therefore, there is only one explanation, that is, there is a limit to this ability of the elderly, or the ability to "reason".

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you." Xiao Lao said, "That's right, as you guessed, there is indeed a limit to my ability, otherwise the human race would have dominated the alliance a long time ago, where would there be those two races." This is true not only of me, but of all controllers, and in order to make this clear, it is necessary to clarify a concept. ”

"All of us who possess 'Li' and want to power Li' must use a substance called 'Astral Element', which exists in the depths of the manipulator's brain, and can only detect its existence through electromagnetic waves, and its structure and so on are completely unknown. As for the origin of the star element, legend has it that it comes from the stars, so most of the controllers also refer to it as the 'star source', which is the only way for our controllers to use the ability of 'reason', and it is also the biggest means to limit us. ”

"Regarding the ability of 'reason', in fact, there is also a classification, 'reason' is generally divided into two types: offensive and non-aggressive, and non-offensive is divided into three types: defensive, auxiliary, and other; There are also three types of aggressive types, which are generally close-range, long-range, and hybrid, and if you subdivide them further, there can be more varieties, so let's wait for time here. What I really want to say is about the consumption ratio of different kinds of 'Li' and star sources, for example, some abilities, such as my 'Li', have a variety of different abilities at the same time, including mind reading, but for my ability, mind reading is not the ability that I have 'Li' itself, but a thing that can be done after reaching the level, so this kind of cross-variety ability will consume a large number of star sources, and the intensity will not be very high, on the other hand, if it is my own 'Li' itself, the ability consumption will be small. ”

"So my mind reading technique can only be used occasionally, and the time spent about ten seconds of mind reading consumes about ten times as much as teleporting once."

I see, if you explain it this way, it will make sense, "Then you still read my heart?" ”

"Hehe, just interested in what you're thinking." After Xiao Lao said this, he quickly coughed twice, and said: "Then what I want to talk to you about next is about the second characteristic of the controller, class restraint." ”

This bad old man is very bad, and he will have to be careful around him in the future. I whispered in my heart.

"The so-called class restraint refers to the high ability of the restraint between the different controllers of the star source level, and the restraint of the same level is low, and there is no restraint at the same level, this characteristic is destined to some cross-breed abilities that cannot be used when the abilities of the two sides are similar, such as my mind reading."
