"I'm thinking," said Ji Kanghua, a government official, with a frown.
"Captain Ji, there's a phone call. It's from that young master Ning."
One of his men came over and whispered.
Ji Kanghua nodded and said, "Transfer it to me."
As he spoke, he raised the silver bracelet in his hand and pressed it twice.
"Hello? Young Master Ning, where are you right now? What exactly happened here...?"
"..."
"Oh right, I forgot for a moment, you've always relied on yourself..."
"..."
"I see. That's how it is. I understand."
……
On the Dragon Core fighter jet, which was speeding outwards.
Otogi Kagura sat in her seat, glanced at Ning Yuantai who was on the phone not far away, and turned to Xue Jing with a smile:
"Isn't that a pity? Xue Jun, you are a great hero who saved countless people this time, and you deserve to be raised high by the people..."
Xue Jing glanced at her, shook his head, and said:
"The label of 'hero' sounds great, but it is actually an invisible constraint. People will arbitrarily impose all kinds of beautiful fantasies on heroes and arbitrarily coat them with a golden image."
"Once his whole body is shining, any blemish on him, even the smallest one, will seem particularly glaring."
"I have no psychological need for this. This title only has negative effects on me, so I'd rather not have it."
Otogi Kagura's eyes showed a strange look: "Xue-kun, you're very clear-headed."
"Many things are not so easy to let go of, even if you know them clearly in your heart. Almost everything people seek is fame and fortune, with fame taking precedence over fortune. It takes great cultivation to be able to let go of fame so easily."
Xue Jing casually said, "If you can't let go, it means you're still not clear in your heart. Isn't Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind very popular in the Far East? The essence of the philosophy of mind is the unity of knowledge and action, which means 'if you really know that doing this is right, then you will naturally do it.' If you are just so-called 'clear in your heart' but your actions don't follow up, then you are still not clear. You are just pretending to be clear."
When the name Wang Yangming was mentioned, Otogi Kagura's face lit up, and she even straightened her posture.
This is a figure who holds a special place in the hearts of people in the Far East. His influence on the Far East is quite exaggerated. High-born nobles like Otogi Kagura receive education in the philosophy of mind from a young age.
"Does Mr. Xue also study the philosophy of mind?"
Otogi Kagura asked with great interest.
Xue Jing stroked his chin, his eyes darting around: "Uh... I guess I know a little bit."
"Then we need to have a proper discussion. As a person of the Xia people, I imagine you have different views on the sage Yangming than I do... So, where should we begin?"
Otogi Kagura happily put her legs together and sat upright, as if she were in a classroom, eager to try.
Xue Jing coughed lightly: "This would go on and on..."
He did have some understanding of the philosophy of mind, but it wasn't particularly deep.
Otogi Kagura looked very interested and insightful, which made Xue Jing feel a little guilty... As a member of the Chinese people, he didn't want to show weakness to the people of the Far East when it came to his own culture.
“…Hehe.”
Otogi Kagura merely smiled, chuckled softly twice, and then changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, doesn't Xue Jun know the 'Flawless' marksmanship?"
She reached behind her head, untied her hairpin and cap, and held up two broken ribbons, saying:
"Then you must be very good at mending clothes... Could you help me with that?"
Xue Jing crossed his arms: "Who told you that being able to make clothes seamless is the same as being able to sew clothes?"
Otogi Kagura blinked: "Shall we continue our discussion of the philosophy of mind?"
Xue Jing held out his hand and said, "Let me see it. I'm actually quite interested in sewing..."
Otogi Kagura couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
……
After several hours of high-speed flight, the Dragon Core fighter jet gradually approached Qingcheng.
Having been away from home for almost a month, Xue Jing was feeling a pang of homesickness as he prepared to return.
He opened the panel and took a look.
[Possessing Divinity: 4468]
【Twins Lv9 (Divinity required for upgrade: 4468/6000)】
[Passive: Possesses two lives; after death, can freely choose a resurrection time within seven days. Cooldown: 10 days]
[Active: Each level 1 allows you to designate one ability related to your own physical body, which will have double the effect when used]
[Currently activated: Physical strength, movement speed, physical defense, instincts, flexibility, concentration, calculation ability, reaction speed]
[Currently available options: ...]
On his way to the Skyscraper Center, he spent 4,500 divine essences to level up his Twin Soul, bringing him to Lv9, due to the energy expenditure from the journey.
The passive effect still reduces the resurrection cooldown by ten days, and the base cooldown is now reduced to only ten days... If the cooldown reduction continues at this rate, at the next level (Lv10), he will gain a true infinite resurrection ability...
However, this is unlikely. Although Xue Jing is quite confident in A Ban's strength, he doesn't think it would actually give him such a bugged and invincible thing.
Xue Jing didn't have any extravagant hopes for this; what he looked forward to most was reaching Lv10 and unlocking another divine incarnation.
As for the newly added Twin Active Effects...
Xue Jing scanned all the options, thought for a moment, and then selected [Perception Ability].
The "Perception Ability" in the panel definition is quite special. It sounds like it's just one ability, but it's actually a combination of multiple abilities.
First, it includes the five senses of the human body: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
In addition to the five senses, there are also senses of direction, spatial awareness, empathy for others' emotions, and many other more abstract perceptual abilities that will be enhanced simultaneously.
With this doubled [perception ability], Xue Jing's hard skills won't improve much, but his soft skills will be greatly enhanced.
"4468... It takes 6,000 divinity to reach Lv10, plus 2,000 for the divine incarnation, so there is still about 3,500 divinity needed to activate the twin incarnation."
Xue Jing looked at the panel and pondered.
"The Qingcheng government still owes me ten divine relics. I don't know how many they've managed to get."
"I can still get some of my sister's Stigmata when I get back, but this little bit of meat is better than nothing."
"In Qingcheng, there are no other sources of divinity besides these two."
Xue Jing shook his head.
"Although it may not seem like much difference, if the Qingcheng government doesn't provide enough support, we might really be stuck for a while."
He turned off the panel and looked at the ribbon in his hand that had been perfectly sewn together. Apart from a few traces of different colored thread at the original break, there was almost no visible damage.
He sewed it.
It's quite amazing... It seems that 'seamless' really is a tailoring skill. Xue Jing was clearly touching needle and thread for the first time, but he was like a master craftsman who had been immersed in this art for decades. In just a few swift movements, he sewed the 'change of hairpin and cap' perfectly.
The process was almost identical to when he used the flawless marksmanship; as soon as he made a move, he instinctively calculated the perfect stitching route for the next step.
Unfortunately, although the repairs were completed on the surface, Otogi Kagura did not grow the Ryuken and transform into Otogi Suzuka after trying it on.
It appears that it was only a surface stitch, and not a real repair.
Divine relics cannot be destroyed in the absolute sense. Even if they are reduced to particle-level ashes, they will reappear in this world.
Based on this principle, all divine relics actually possess a certain degree of self-repair capabilities... but the extent varies.
The 'injury' of being cut in half can be restored in a second for some divine relics, while it may take several days or even months for others.
In short, now all we can do is wait for the "changing hairpins and caps" to heal itself.
"By the way, what would be the effect if a man wore this?"
Xue Jing turned to look at Otogikara, who was standing beside him looking out the porthole.
"Eh?"
Otogi Kagura paused slightly, tapped her pale chin with her index finger, thought for a moment, and then shook her head:
"I'm not sure, I haven't tried it... Maybe I'll become the most manly man in the world?"
she guessed.

Title: Simultaneous Transmigration! But the Silver Superman
Chapter 288 Returning to Qingcheng, the New Dojo, Senior Sister Meng's World-Class Embrace (4K)
The Dragon Core fighter jet landed at the White Crow temporary base in Sunny City.
After several months of construction, the base, which was originally just a simple framework, is now quite substantial, and the word "temporary" can basically be removed.
This base was prepared in preparation for the possible occurrence of the "overlapping of two realms" phenomenon in the unfinished building area of Qingcheng South City. Originally, it was just a makeshift facility, enough for people to live in and store things. However, for some unknown reason, the person in charge of the base suddenly received an order from above, saying that the base should be built seriously according to the standards of a formal base, which seemed to indicate that a group of White Raven members would be stationed there permanently.
This made the Qingcheng government particularly happy, and they allocated a sum of money to help with the construction.
After the plane landed completely, the cabin door opened.
Xue Jing stepped out first.
The cat perched on his shoulder, and Otogi Kagura, dressed in a Ning Fengwan dress, followed beside him, her hands folded in front of her, exuding a composed and elegant demeanor, showcasing the style of a young lady, making her not-so-expensive clothes look like high-end items.
Half a step behind Xue Jing was Yun Qin, dressed in a classic maid outfit. The whole group looked like a noble young master returning from a trip with his pet and wife.
"You've stolen the show again, Master Jing."
The member of the Void Blade Squad, Yamaki, who came to greet them, immediately stepped forward and smiled.
"The strongest, most ruthless, and most arrogant champion in U19 history. There is a lot of discussion about you online right now, and the heat hasn't died down for several days."
