From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 159 Dual Talents, Mechanical Heart
When he said this, tears welled up in Yuan Hecheng's eyes.

Lu Heng was somewhat moved and finally understood why he was so anxious.

How could a father not be anxious when he learned that his ten-year-old daughter was recruited to the Abyss Battlefield?
Lu Heng frowned and recalled, trying to recall information about Yuan Hecheng's daughter.

Yuan Hecheng was a very famous tempering master in later generations, and was well-known in Daxia.

There were a lot of news about Yuan Hecheng in later generations, but Lu Heng recalled it and did not find any information about his daughter.

Perhaps he did not let his daughter appear in media news out of the idea of ​​protecting her.

It could also be another possibility, his daughter may have died in the abyss battlefield.

The Abyss Battlefield recruits people with special abilities. The rule is whether the person is suitable or not, and there is no age limit.

Moreover, Lu Heng suspected that the latter was more likely.

Because in his previous life, Yuan Hecheng became a famous tempering master a year after the abyss descended.

It is now the seventh month since the Abyss came, and he still has five months to go before he becomes a famous tempering master.

As a Tempering Master, once he gets the recognition from the Tempering Castle, his value will skyrocket immediately and he will be sought after by capital. It won’t take as long as five months.

In Yuan Hecheng's previous life, he emerged a year after the abyss descended.

In other words, if he did not intervene in this matter, Yuan Hecheng would remain unknown for the next five months.

He may even have been depressed for several months because of his daughter's death.

Of course, these are all Lu Heng’s guesses. He is not sure what happened in his previous life.

After thinking carefully, Lu Heng asked, "If I give you 10 million, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Hecheng saw hope and said quickly, "As long as you give me 10 million, I am willing to sign a contract to sell myself, even for 15 or 20 years."

Lu Heng asked again: "I mean, what are you going to buy with the 10 million? Are you going to buy skill crystal cores?"

Yuan Hecheng nodded quickly: "Yes, I want to buy skill crystal cores for my daughter, and buy a few more life-saving skill crystal cores. I just want her to come out of the abyss battlefield alive."

in fact.

There's something very strange about this.

There is indeed no age limit for recruiting people with special abilities in the Abyss Battlefield, but there are rules for recruiting people regarding combat power.

The lower the combat power, the lower the chance of being recruited, so people with life-related abilities will basically not be recruited.

According to the recruitment rules of the Abyss Battlefield, only those whose combat power reaches a certain level will be recruited.

However, Yuan Hecheng's daughter was only ten years old. What caused her to be recruited to the Abyss Battlefield?

This is a difficult question.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "How long is the countdown to conscription?"

"There are still two days... no, only one and a half days left." Yuan Hecheng said halfway when he remembered that it was already afternoon and more than half of the day had passed.

When Lu Heng heard the time, he frowned and said, "Even if I give you 10 million now, you won't have enough time to buy a suitable skill crystal core."

Yuan Hecheng sighed and said, "I don't have any other choice but to buy whatever I can get."

In all these days, Lu Heng was the first person who was willing to listen to him talk so much.

Therefore, he regarded Lu Heng as his last straw, with hope in his eyes: "Boss Lu, you don't need 10 million, 8 million will do. I am willing to sign a 20-year contract to sell myself. You can let me do anything."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "I can sign you. Ten million is no problem. However, you need to be my quenching assistant. I can do business orders for you with quenching level below level 3. In addition, it is too late for you to buy skill crystal cores now. I will ask my assistant to bring the crystal core list later. If there is a suitable one on the list, you can use it first."

Yuan Hecheng didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, and he almost wanted to kneel down: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Mr. Lu."

At this moment.

Lin Zeyu pushed the door open and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. The manager said you were here. What are you so busy about? Can you leave now?"

Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "That's great. Have someone print out a Tempering Master contract for a ten-year term. The advance payment is 10 million. Also have someone bring over a list of the skill crystal cores."

Lin Zeyu blinked, pointed at Yuan Hecheng and asked, "Sign him?"

Yuan Hecheng quickly stood up and bowed to Lin Zeyu: "Boss, my name is Yuan Hecheng, and I'm a tempering master."

Tempering masters are not very popular nowadays, and Lin Zeyu can’t see what’s special about Yuan Hecheng.

More importantly, Yuan Hecheng had never been to the Quenching Castle and had never taken any assessment, so how could he have directly reached the signing stage?
Lin Zeyu blinked and asked, "Don't you need to take an examination?"

When Yuan Hecheng heard that there would be an assessment, his heart began to tighten again.

Although he was confident, he was also afraid of the worst.

If he fails the assessment and the negotiated contract falls through, he will want to die.

After all, this was a gamble with his daughter's life. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of failing the assessment, he didn't dare to gamble.

Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "No need, just do as I say, quickly."

Lin Zeyu didn't ask any more questions and agreed, "Okay, I'll get someone to do it."

As he said this, he turned around and went out to ask someone to do something.

The company is very efficient and has ready-made contracts. All we have to do is change the term and amount.

Yuan Hecheng signed his name on the contract, and when he saw Lin Zeyu stamp the company's seal, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Lu Heng continued, "Old Yuan, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Sure, sure. Mr. Lu, you're too polite." Yuan Hecheng quickly nodded in agreement.

"We have some skill crystal cores on hand. You can use the suitable ones first. However, you have to bring your daughter here and choose the appropriate skills according to her talents." Lu Heng handed him the list of skill crystal cores.

"Okay, I'll go back and bring her here. Should we bring her here?" Yuan Hecheng has signed the contract now, but he doesn't know whether he has a skill crystal core suitable for his daughter.

If you don't have the right skill crystal core, you have to buy it separately, and then you may not have enough time.

After all, there are only one and a half days left in the countdown to the call-up.

……

An hour later, Yuan Hecheng came over with a little girl.

The little girl is very playful and cute, and also very well-behaved and sensible.

When he saw Lin Zeyu at the door, Yuan Hecheng hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, hurry up and call someone. Is this Uncle Lin... or should I call him brother?"

Lin Zeyu's eyes widened and he said, "Am I that old?"

"Then call me Brother Lin." Yuan Hecheng quickly agreed.

Yuan Yaoyao was a little shy. She shrank back with a smile on her lips, then called out in a very low voice.

After sitting down, Lu Heng looked at the girl and felt that she looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

It is certain that he is not a supernatural being with peak combat power in later generations, because I have never heard of a supernatural being with peak combat power at such a young age in my previous life.

"What talent have you awakened?" Lu Heng asked.

"Um……"

Yuan Yaoyao placed her hands on her knees, picked at her nails, and grumbled twice before answering, "Metal ion reduction."

When Lu Heng heard about this talent, he was a little confused and glanced at Su Muyu next to him. Su Muyu understood, got up and went out. After a while, he came back with a cup of blue liquid: "Copper sulfate solution."

Lu Heng pushed the cup of blue solution over and said, "Is it okay?"

Yuan Yaoyao didn't say anything. She slowly stretched out her hand and placed her right index finger into the copper sulfate solution.

After about ten seconds, she pulled out her fingers, and they were covered with a layer of purple-red metallic element.

This talent is very special and will be of great value in the field of scientific research, but it does not demonstrate much combat effectiveness.

Lu Heng then asked: "Can you control this ability? Restore it when needed, and don't react when not needed."

Yuan Yaoyao shook her head: "When you touch water, your hands will be covered with something."

She didn't like this ability very much.

As long as your skin comes into contact with water, a layer of metal will be deposited on it.

The concentration of the copper sulfate solution does not need to be so high; ordinary tap water will react.

Because there are trace amounts of metal ions in tap water, they will be reduced by her ability and adhere to the skin.

Although the amount is small, you will still feel it when it accumulates.

It’s okay if it gets on your hands, the most uncomfortable thing is taking a bath.

Lu Heng saw her inner thoughts from her expression, smiled and said: "When you reach a higher level in the future, you can slowly learn to control this ability and not react when it is not needed."

When Yuan Yaoyao heard that she could control this ability, her mood immediately improved.

Lu Heng then asked: "Are there any other talents or abilities?"

“No… no more.” Yuan Yaoyao shook her head, and the more she shook her head, the lower her voice became.

"Are you sure?" Lu Heng asked again.

Yuan Yaoyao lowered her head and nodded, but Lu Heng felt that she was not telling the truth.

Because just relying on [Metal Ion Reduction] alone cannot demonstrate much combat effectiveness.

In addition, at her current age, her physical fitness is very weak and her level is low. Judging from the rules of conscription in the Abyss Battlefield, it is unlikely that she will be conscripted.

Well, there was only one possibility, either she was not recruited, or she had hidden some talent that was very useful and powerful.

Lu Heng then asked, "How much time do you have left in your countdown? Read out the number."

袁瑶瑶开口念出一组数字：“1天8小时12分19秒，18秒，17秒……”

Lu Heng checked the time and found that the countdown was exactly twelve o'clock tomorrow night.

There is nothing wrong with the countdown. The girl won't remember the countdown all the time just to lie.

Moreover, this was her first time being called up, so she probably couldn't tell the exact countdown number.

That said, she was indeed drafted.

Then there is only one possibility left, that she has concealed a talent that has powerful combat power.

Lu Heng changed his tone and said in a serious tone: "You lied."

As soon as these words came out.

Yuan Yaoyao's body froze. Yuan Hecheng, who was standing by, showed a puzzled expression and defended his daughter: "Mr. Lu, Yaoyao is very sensible and well-behaved."

Lu Heng stared at the little girl's expression, but her head lowered lower and lower.

"There is only one day left in the countdown, and the survival rate of the Abyss Battlefield conscription is less than 30%. That means there is a 70% chance that you will not be able to come back after the countdown ends, and you will never see your father again. Are you sure you want to continue lying?"

Yuan Yaoyao's body began to tremble, she pursed her lips, and tears were about to fall.

"Mr. Lu, Yaoyao is very sensible and she won't lie." Yuan Hecheng continued to defend his daughter.

Lu Heng raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Listen to her herself."

Yuan Yaoyao wiped her tears with her hands, nodded and admitted: "There is another talent in the data, but I think I may be mentally ill."

Yuan Hecheng didn't know about this, and she never thought her daughter would lie to him: "What's going on?"

The initial double talent is very rare, it can be said to be one in a million.

Lu Heng asked: "What is the other talent?"

Yuan Yaoyao grabbed her skirt with both hands and replied after a long while: "Mechanical Heart, I can hear the refrigerator and rice cooker at home talking, I must be mentally ill too."

When Yuan Hecheng heard this, his expression changed and he helped to explain: "Yaoyao's mother died of mental illness, so..."

When Lu Heng heard the talent "Mechanical Heart", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This talent is very strange, just like the situation she described.

It is said that people with this talent can hear machines speak. In their eyes, all machines have "life".

Of course, if you don't understand this talent and just listen to the description, it does sound like a mental illness.

Lu Heng thought about it and explained: "The Mechanical Heart can indeed hear the machines talking. This is normal, not a mental illness. Moreover, this ability is very powerful if used well."

If it was the talent [Mechanical Heart], it wouldn't be surprising to be recruited.

The Abyss Battlefield recruits psychics based on their combat power, talents, and skills.

Someone proposed a theory in the previous life that the same psychic would have different combat power ratings when entering different abyss battlefields.

For example, for this [Mechanical Heart], if you enter the Boneyard of the Evil God, the score of this talent will be very low, because there are no mechanical units there that can make use of this talent.

On the contrary, if you enter the cyber world, then [Mechanical Heart] will take off directly and the score will be very high.

This theory has not been confirmed, but Lu Heng believes that it makes sense.

According to this theory, Yuan Yaoyao will most likely be recruited into a world where mechanical units exist.

If this were a world without machines, the score for her talent would be very low, not even high enough to be recruited.

Therefore, the Abyss Battlefield where she is recruited can only be a world with more mechanical units.

Moreover, according to the fact that there was no news mentioning that Yuan Hecheng had a daughter in the previous life, Yuan Yaoyao should not have been able to return alive in the previous life.

After all, she is just a ten-year-old girl and has no other life-saving skills. It is indeed difficult for her to survive in the abyss world.

When Su Muyu saw the little girl, she felt very sorry for her and took the initiative to say, "Let's help her."

Lu Heng picked up the crystal core list and said, "Let's see if there are any suitable skill crystal cores. By the way, how many skill slots are there?"

Yuan Yaoyao held up three fingers: "Three."

"You didn't lie this time, did you?" Lu Heng teased.

"I didn't lie. I...I just..." Yuan Yaoyao puffed her cheeks and tried to defend herself.

"Brother Lu is just joking with you, be good." Yuan Hecheng hurriedly began to look through the crystal core list.

Now he just wanted to prepare a few more life-saving skills for his daughter. He didn't ask for anything else, only that his daughter could come back alive from the abyss world.
