From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 79 Morning Visitors
Taoyuanli Community, Ningyun District, Binhai.

Since the roads around Gardenia Beach were closed, Lu Heng hasn't been home for some time.

When I returned home this time, my mother pulled me up and down, left and right, fearing that I was injured somewhere.

"No limbs are missing."

In the past, Lu Heng would have felt that his mother’s saturated care was a bit annoying, but now he just felt warm and a little funny.

"I'm glad you're okay. It's too chaotic outside right now. Why don't you go home? Schools now encourage online classes. It's too dangerous outside." Li Xiuyun considered keeping Lu Heng at home.

Lu Heng laughed it off and had a hearty lunch at home.

In the afternoon.

Father Lu Mingli drove Lu Heng out, saying that there was something very important.

At first, Lu Heng was wondering where his father was going to take him.

When we got there we realized we were at a shooting range.

When Lu Mingli was young, he was also a wolf in the border army. Later, after he retired from the army, got married, had children, and was slowly tamed into a gentle and kind father.

Since the invasion of the abyss, demons have appeared in the human world, forcing Lu Mingli to pick up again what he had learned.

"You've never touched a real gun, right?" Lu Mingli laughed and patted his son's shoulder.

In fact, there is a model gun at home, with real shells and bullets, but there is no gunpowder inside.

When he was a child, his father would occasionally take Lu Heng with him when he got together with his old comrades-in-arms.

Some of those old comrades are still serving in the military, and sometimes they carry real weapons around their waists.

Every time, the old comrades would urge little Lu Heng to touch a real gun, but they would be stopped by Lu Mingli.

Thinking of these things from my childhood, I feel inexplicably nostalgic.

In the past, Lu Mingli hoped that his son would study hard and get into a good university so that he wouldn't have to suffer the same hardships as him.

But now it’s different. The invasion of the abyss has brought drastic changes to the world in which humans live.

If you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, you won’t feel safe when you go out.

So, Lu Mingli found a way today and brought Lu Heng over to teach him something.

Several types of firearms have been placed on the long table in front of him, mainly pistols and rifles, all of which are relatively practical models.

"I'll teach you how to shoot today, and next time I'll find someone to teach you some Kung Fu." Lu Mingli had already made up his mind that he had to let his son learn some means of self-defense.

He picked up a Black Star and said as he inspected the gun: "Put on your earmuffs first. If you have never fired a gun, you might be scared by the sound the first time."

Lu Heng didn't know what expression to use to deal with his father's concern. He reached out and picked up a pistol, loaded it, took off the safety, aimed at the target twenty meters ahead, and fired ten shots in a row.

10 shots in a row, either 10 rings or 9 rings.

Lu Mingli looked at the bullet holes on the target with a look of surprise on his face.

"Dad, I know this. No need to teach me. What happened at home recently? What makes you so nervous?" Lu Heng could feel that his father must have encountered something. He was extremely alert, completely different from his gentle self before.

Lu Mingli frowned as he looked at his son in front of him. Suddenly, he felt a little unfamiliar with him, as if the little boy had grown up overnight.

He understood a lot of things in an instant, and instead of asking when Lu Heng learned how to use a gun, he asked:
"Did you offend anyone outside?"

Lu Heng did not answer this question, but asked: "Did someone come to see you?"

We won't get anything out of the conversation if we play charades like this.

Lu Mingli said directly: "I found that someone was monitoring our family during this period. I became alert, so I found a way to get a gun and carry it with me."

When Lu Heng heard this, he guessed that it should be someone hired by Gong Teng Group.

"Don't worry, I'll get this sorted out in a couple of days."

"Could it be that you have already..." Lu Mingli frowned and looked at his son again. He always felt that many things were different from before.

It's not a change in appearance, but a change in aura.

The Abyss invasion has become public, and there is no need to hide it any longer.

Lu Heng directly admitted: "I am a superpower, and I should be the strongest one at present."

Even though Lu Mingli had some guesses, he was still shocked when he heard Lu Heng admit it himself.

He has maintained contact with many old comrades, so he can obtain a lot of information that the outside world does not know.

After Lu Heng admitted his identity as a person with special abilities, many things could be discussed openly.

The father and son talked for a long time, discussing their thoughts and future plans.

"Have you ever been to the Abyss Battlefield?"

Lu Mingli had already learned about the Abyss Battlefield from other channels, but he did not know the details. He only knew that the Abyss Battlefield was very dangerous and the mortality rate was extremely high.

"I have been in, twice." Lu Heng nodded in admission.

Lu Mingli suddenly became so nervous that his heart was in his throat. His son was right in front of him, but when he heard him say that he had been to the abyss battlefield, he couldn't control his worry.

The two talked about their future plans.

Lu Heng turned the topic to them: "Dad, I'm considering awakening you."

Lu Mingli waved his hands quickly: "No, your mother can't stand this. If she knew, she would be worried and unable to sleep every day. I can't be recruited to the Abyss Battlefield either. I have to stay and take care of your mother."

As soon as Lu Heng heard it, he knew what he was worried about.

According to the official information now, the Abyss Battlefield will recruit people with special abilities to enter the Abyss Battlefield, and the mortality rate in the Abyss Battlefield is very high.

Lu Mingli is not afraid of the battlefield, but for the sake of his family, he cannot take the risk.

Lu Heng explained with a smile: "It doesn't mean that you will be recruited into the Abyss Battlefield just because you become a superpower. As long as you develop in the direction of a living superpower, it's okay if your combat power is below the average."

night.

After dinner, the family held a family meeting to discuss awakening.

Li Xiuyun was initially resistant and worried, but was gradually persuaded and finally agreed to awaken.

Especially when she knew that her son was already a psychic and had to face extremely vicious monsters, she even wanted to awaken into a combat-type psychic.

However, he was finally persuaded by the father and son.

Since his parents had agreed to awaken, Lu Heng took out two ordinary crystal cores and handed them to them.

After the couple absorbed the energy of the crystal core, their worldview began to be struck by lightning. Looking at the data that appeared in front of their eyes, they were stunned for several minutes before slowly accepting this change.

Before going to bed at night, Lu Heng used his laptop to search for life-related skill crystal cores on the crystal core dark web.

At this stage, the price of combat-related skill crystal cores is getting higher and higher, but the price of life-related skill crystal cores is relatively average.

Lu Heng selected several life skills and bought them. Since the prices were not high, he bought a few more so that he could make a second selection later.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, when Lu Heng was still asleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Lu Heng, your friend is at home, get up quickly." Li Xiuyun's voice came from outside the door, with great penetrating power.

When Lu Heng heard that it was a friend coming to visit, he thought it was Su Muyu, and thought: This girl is too anxious. She comes here so early in the morning. Isn't this disturbing others?

When I went out, I saw Lin Zeyu sitting in the living room.

In addition to Lin Zeyu, there were two elderly men around 50 years old, who should be the elders of the Lin family.

The floor and table in the living room were filled with various gift boxes.

The bodyguard who was responsible for moving the gifts stood outside the door and did not enter the house.

Lu Heng's eyes widened as he looked at Lin Zeyu, speechless: "What are you doing?" Lin Zeyu stood up and said as a matter of course: "Of course I came to thank you, otherwise I would have died in there."

After returning, his injuries were healed after being repaired by divine energy.

In the abyss battlefield, he was beaten by Lei Jinhao and his internal organs were displaced. If it were an ordinary person, he would not have survived. Fortunately, he had divine energy to heal his injuries, so he was able to stand here safely.

"Come in." Lu Heng waved and dragged Lin Zeyu into the room.

After entering the room, Lin Zeyu looked at the furnishings in the room curiously.

The room was very clean, spotless, and every book and every figurine was neatly placed.

Because... Lu Heng doesn't usually live here.

Lin Zeyu took the initiative to start the topic and said, "You must want to ask how I found you. Knowing your name and appearance, it is quite easy for my family to find someone."

He was not polite at all when he spoke and lay down on the bed.

"stand up!"

Lu Heng pulled him up and said, "Can't you come to me in private? If my parents knew that the Abyss Battlefield was so dangerous, they would be worried again."

"I understand. I didn't tell your parents about what happened in the Abyss Battlefield." Lin Zeyu was very sensible on this point.

"Okay, take all your gifts back. They are scattered all over the floor and it's hard to open them." Lu Heng complained.

"This is my thank you gift, it must be given to you." Lin Zeyu emphasized.

"Can't you just put all these gifts on a little card?"

"Yes, yes, the card is here." Lin Zeyu took out a card and put it into Lu Heng's hand.

"Okay, go now. Don't make such a big fuss next time." Lu Heng waved his hand, ready to send him back.

"No, I still need you to temper my weapon. I found that my combat power is so low..." Lin Zeyu was beaten up by Lei Jinhao. Now he is full of passion and wants to improve his combat power.

"Wait a minute, you want me to temper you?" Lu Heng keenly grasped the key point of his words.

Lin Zeyu put away his playful smile and said seriously: "I'm not stupid. I didn't recognize you at first, but if I still can't recognize you after seeing you tempering weapons for the Bansel, then you have a brain problem."

In fact, Lu Heng didn’t have to hide his identity as a tempering master, he just didn’t want to cause too much trouble.

Lu Heng frowned and asked, "Who else did you tell about my identity in Quenching Castle?"

“I haven’t told anyone else yet.”

"You didn't tell your family?"

"I haven't told you yet. We'll talk about it at the family meeting tonight."

"Then stop talking. Put this secret back in your head and don't let it out."

"You still want to kill people to silence them?"

"I wouldn't go so far as to kill him to silence him, but..."

Lu Heng changed the subject and pretended to pull the door handle: "Uncle Lin, Lin Zeyu asked me to tell him that he has forgiven..."

Lin Zeyu's eyes widened, and he immediately rushed over, covered Lu Heng's mouth, and said, "Deal! Deal! Let's keep the secret from each other."

"Okay, let's go. Move all the things back. My parents will definitely think too much when they see so many things." Lu Heng was ready to send him away.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, the matter of quenching weapons..." Lin Zeyu continued to talk about this matter.

"Contact me online, I'll notify you when I'm free." Lu Heng said.

"Um... I'll give you the job of tempering for other supernatural organizations. Will you accept it?"

"How much commission do you take?"

"Only 10%, not a cent more."

"Okay, we'll arrange for them to be quenched together. The minimum number of orders accepted is ten. The Quenching Castle will not accept anyone other than you."

Tempering weapons can improve the temperer's professional experience and earn crystal core resources. Naturally, such a good thing will not be rejected.

"I understand. I'll make sure it's done perfectly." Lin Zeyu was very happy because he had negotiated a big deal that would affect the situation of people with special abilities.

……

The next night.

Su Muyu came over from home to meet up and they agreed to meet outside the community.

She was wearing a light brown plaid skirt, thin black tights and small leather shoes, standing under the street light, looking so quiet.

Just looking at her appearance, who would have thought that such a girl is already an 18th-level psychic.

Seeing Lu Heng appear, her eyes lit up, and she trotted over, holding a food box in both hands and handed it over:
"Here are some taro rolls. Try them and see if you like them."

"Is it really made of mud?" Lu Heng made a joke.

Su Muyu rolled her eyes and continued, "Yes, this year's new spring mud."

"I'll take it back as a midnight snack." Lu Heng laughed and took the food box.

The two of them were walking on the street in the late autumn night.

Su Muyu hesitated and asked, "Well... can I save a crystal core for my mother? I promise to work hard to cultivate source energy and upgrade as soon as possible."

Ever since she heard that people with life-related abilities would not be recruited, she came up with the idea of ​​awakening her mother's ability, so she saved a crystal core for her mother to use.

"That's what I should do. I'll give you another one." Lu Heng said as he took out an energy crystal core and put it in her hand.

Since combat-oriented psychics will have more combat missions, they will have more opportunities to absorb demonic energy to upgrade.

Relatively speaking, the upgrade speed of auxiliary ability users will be much slower.

A mature team of psychics will give some preference to auxiliary psychics in terms of crystal cores, so that the auxiliary psychics can keep up with the level of the main team members.

"Then I'll absorb it."

Su Muyu was originally worried about being blamed, but when she heard that Lu Heng was not angry and gave her another crystal core, she happily held it in her hand.

"Absorb it. You should be almost at level 19, right?" Lu Heng estimated her level and thought she should be not far from level 19.

"Well, after absorbing this crystal core, I should be able to reach level 19." Su Muyu nodded, and then began to absorb the energy in the crystal core.

The two continued to walk along the long street, and Su Muyu slowly consumed the crystal core energy he had absorbed.

When I reached the end of the street, I reached level 19.

"I'm at level 19, with a perception of 41 points." Su Muyu smiled.

"Hmm? One point more." Lu Heng remembered that her perception was 1 points before, and it should be 38 points after the upgrade.

"Yes, when I was training the reconnaissance eagle, my perception improved a little bit." Su Muyu raised a finger with an expression that said "come and praise me".

"Have you finished the tasks assigned to you?" Lu Heng got to the point.

"It's done. I used the reconnaissance eagle to observe the movements of Gong Teng Group these two days. Gong Zhenteng already knew that Lei Jinhao was dead, so he has been meeting with the captain of another team of superpowers recently. He should be training new subordinates." Su Muyu briefly described the situation he had discovered.

"Have you found the super crystal core?" If Lu Heng wants to learn the skill [Bullet Time], he must get the [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core].

"Um……"

Su Muyu pursed her lips, worried that Lu Heng would be disappointed, and glanced at Lu Heng's expression with her eyes, and replied: "It hasn't been found yet, and Gong Zhenteng hasn't mentioned the crystal core in the past two days.

“However, I have seen Gong Zhenteng enter the vault of the Gong Teng Group building several times. The security inside is very tight, and it is difficult for a reconnaissance eagle to enter.

"Next time I'll try to get a scout eagle into the vault to take a look. I think the crystal core is likely inside the vault."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go in and take a look myself."
