Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 9 Conversation with Uncle Qing

Under Instructor Jiang Nian's guidance, Qin Mu gained a clear understanding of the guiding technique.

Unlike the Gene Energy Cultivation Method, there are many types of Guiding Techniques, and the efficiency of different Guiding Techniques varies greatly, sometimes by several times, or even by dozens of times.

For example, the guiding techniques possessed by the Ultimate Martial Arts School, the Thunder Martial Arts School, and the military are among the most advanced.

This is also a key factor in attracting martial artists to join them.

After the assessment, the group chatted with the instructors for a while, carefully inquiring about details such as guidance techniques and mental cultivation. Qin Mu listened in as well.

After a while, Instructor Jiang Nian finally spoke.

"Alright, that concludes today's preliminary martial arts assessment. I have other matters to attend to. The four of you can go back now."

The group then stopped asking questions, obediently left the clubhouse, and headed out of the Mingyue residential area.

At the entrance of Mingyue Residential Area, Qin Mu, Luo Feng, Yang Wu, and Bai Yang all had smiles on their faces.

I'm happy to have passed the assessment.

"My name is Bai Yang, and I'm from the top military academy in Jiangnan. My hometown is Yangzhou, and since it's summer vacation, I came here for the assessment."

Bai Yang introduced himself and shook hands with several people.

"I am Qin Mu, a student of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy."

Qin Mu smiled and introduced himself to the group.

"Luo Feng, a student at the Limit Martial Arts Academy."

"Yang Wu, a student at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

The last few people had lunch at a restaurant, exchanged contact information, and then parted ways.

On the subway, Qin Mu watched Luo Feng's departing figure and chuckled softly.

Luo Feng will soon find out that his father was insulted by a spoiled brat, then he will erupt in anger, injure the man, be imprisoned in the police station, be assassinated, and awaken as a spiritual master.

Now that he had become a quasi-martial artist, he needed to start preparing for the plan to enter the wilderness and hatch the insect hive.

But before that, I need to call Uncle Qing.

"Uncle Qing, I passed the test!"

Qin Mu's first words were...

"Haha, great! It's approved! Come over for dinner tonight, I'll cook something delicious to celebrate!"

Wang Qing had been waiting for this call for most of the day, and upon hearing the news, he couldn't help but grin.

Taking the assessment is one thing, passing it is another.

"Okay, Uncle Qing, I'll be there in a bit!"

Qin Mu didn't stand on ceremony and immediately replied.

"Okay, then I'll take the day off today, go home early, and have a good drink."

Wang Qing was genuinely happy.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Qing walked out with a smile, intending to ask for leave.

"Old Wang, did Xiao Mu really pass the preliminary martial artist assessment?"

Nearby, an older woman asked with a curious look, while several other workers on the assembly line watched with envy.

They also knew about Qin Mu's situation.

These people are either retired military personnel or family members, and they are more aware of the treatment of martial artists than the average person.

"Yes, they just called and said it's approved."

Wang Qing replied with a smile.

"Then hurry up and go! What are you waiting for? Just wait to enjoy the good life!"

At the workshop entrance, a bald, middle-aged man heard the commotion inside and a look of envy appeared on his face.

Those are martial artists, martial artists with special privileges. Even someone like him, with a military background and a manager at a military factory, wouldn't dare offend a martial artist.

"Manager, I'll head back now."

Wang Qing smiled.

Amidst the envious and jealous looks of a group of people, Wang Qing hurried home with light steps.

On the other side, Qin Mu got out of the car and bought two bottles of good wine, as well as some snacks and other treats.

Uncle Qing's house is not far from Qin Mu's house, only about a ten-minute walk away.

Carrying his things, Qin Mu walked to the elevator door in a building and pressed the button for the 23rd floor.

"bite"

The elevator doors opened, and Qin Mu stepped out, stopping at room number 2301 and knocking on the door.

"Brother Mu, you're here."

The person who opened the door was a long-haired girl with an oval face, wearing an apron and beaming with a smile. The girl had delicate features and an expression that revealed innocence and cuteness.

"Mumu".

A smile appeared on Qin Mu's face.

The girl is Wang Qing's eldest daughter, named Wang Mumu, who is only 15 years old this year.

Qin Mu carried the things inside and saw Uncle Qing busy in the kitchen, with a little boy helping him.

"You're here, why did you bring anything?"

Uncle Qing glanced back and said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's just some food and two bottles of wine."

Qin Mu raised his glass slightly and said with a smile.

After putting his things down, Qin Mu went to the kitchen and volunteered to help.

Uncle Qing only has one arm, which makes many things inconvenient for him. Qin Mu is not one to just sit around waiting to be fed.

"Xiao Wu, go out and have some fun. I brought you some food, go and eat something."

The kitchen wasn't big; it could only accommodate two people at most. So Qin Mu simply let Xiao Wu, Qing Shu's youngest son, go out to play.

"Okay, Brother Mu."

Xiao Wu had been eyeing the snacks Qin Mu had brought for a while, but he couldn't go out. Now that he heard about it, he had no heart to work anymore and ran out.

Uncle Qing chuckled and scolded, but didn't stop them. In the kitchen, the two chatted as they busied themselves preparing ingredients.

"Xiao Mu, you've really made something of yourself this time. I never expected you to become a near-martial artist all of a sudden."

Uncle Qing laughed.

"I didn't expect it either. It's mainly because the human cell repair fluid you gave me, Uncle Qing, really worked very well."

After using it, my body recovered, and my strength actually increased significantly.

Otherwise, you definitely won't pass the assessment.

Qin Mu said.

That's absolutely true. Without that human cell repair fluid, Qin Mu would likely have been stuck on the nerve reaction speed issue.

"That's because you worked hard and had good talent. That stuff doesn't really improve your strength."

Uncle Qing exclaimed as he skillfully cut the meat with one hand.

They chatted casually and quickly prepared the meal.

At the dinner table, both of them poured themselves a drink.

Uncle Qing had no other hobbies except for drinking a little. Although Qin Mu didn't really like alcohol, he also enjoyed drinking and chatting with Uncle Qing.

After several rounds of drinks...

"Uncle Qing, I heard that after the practical assessment, no matter which faction I join, I will be allocated at least a villa in the villa area. At that time, Uncle Qing, you, Mu Mu, and Xiao Wu can move there together."

Qin Mu took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and said solemnly.

"It's good that you have the intention. As for moving there, we won't go."

Uncle Qing smiled broadly, but he refused outright.

As if he had already guessed Uncle Qing's thoughts, Qin Mu didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Uncle Qing, although I haven't passed the practical test yet, I'm still very confident, so I'm telling you in advance to avoid being caught off guard later."

Once you pass the assessment, you can move in with me, so we can look after each other.

The environment and conditions in the villa area are much better.

Before Uncle Qing could speak, Qin Mu continued.

"Over the years, Uncle Qing, you've treated me like your own nephew. Now that I've finally become a martial artist, we should definitely enjoy the good life together."

"Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Mu Mu and Xiao Wu, right?"

Mumu is taking the high school entrance exam this year, and it seems she hasn't decided which high school she'll attend yet. I've inquired, and it seems that if we move to the Wuzhe residential area, she can get into a private high school, which has much better conditions than regular high schools.

Xiao Wu will be starting junior high next year, and he can attend a private middle school.

Hearing Qin Mu say this, Uncle Qing hesitated. He didn't care about himself.

But when it comes to children, it's a different story.

"Let's not bother. Your intention is enough. You're not young anymore. In a couple of years, you'll be getting married and having children, so it won't be convenient for us to come over."

Besides, although becoming a martial artist will get you a villa, only relatives can move in, so we'd better not go.

Although he hesitated, Uncle Qing still refused.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu knew that Uncle Qing was interested, so he added fuel to the fire.

"How can you not be my relatives? I say you are, so you are."

As for marriage and having children, that's still far from being a done deal.

Besides, the villa is so big, how many people can't live there?

Seeing that Uncle Qing still wanted to refute, Qin Mu didn't say anything more and simply said.

"When the time comes, we can just move over there. That's settled."

"Uncle Qing, what did I say when you bought me the human cell repair serum?"

Seeing Qin Mu's sincere expression, Uncle Qing did not insist any further.
