Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Yes what's the matter?"

"You didn't take a shower today."

Su Ruoli realized something, her face suddenly turned red, and she pulled her legs back.

Bai Yu stood up and said, "I'm just curious, is the Heroic Spirit Bloodline really that useful? I can actually run around in sneakers in the middle of summer without my feet smelling."

"Idiot! You can't say that to my face!" Su Ruoli blushed: "There is still a little taste... but I'm very careful."

"I think it's useless to pay attention to this thing. It depends purely on your physical condition." Bai Yu spread his hands and said, "Ah, don't mind it. I don't like it. I just mentioned it casually."

Su Ruoli lowered her head, her face so red that it seemed as if white smoke was coming out of her head.

Bai Yu walked in front and shook his head.

Miss Su, high attack and low defense is a wrong way to allocate points.

……

The two arrived at the Su family by car.

The Su family was not far from where the two lived, only less than ten kilometers away.

The Su family's residence is located in a high-end residential area in the city center. There are rows of duplex villas and sunrooms on several floors.

Bai Yu was quite familiar with the area and drove to his doorstep at a leisurely pace.

Su Ruoli took out the key and opened the door, and the warm light illuminated the corridor.

The air was filled with the aroma of food.

"My sweetheart is back."

The woman, Shang Ming'e, put down the big pot of ginseng chicken soup in her hand, took off her heat-proof gloves, and walked quickly across the corridor, as if she wanted to give a hug to her child who had not been home for a long time.

"Mom..." Su Ruoli also raised her hand.

Then passed by

Shang Ming'e walked past Su Ruoli and hugged Bai Yu directly, rubbing the boy's face vigorously: "My good boy, my dear boy, I miss you so much."

Su Ruoli raised her hand and then put it down, puffed up her cheeks and stomped her feet: "Mom! Don't hug him!"

She is definitely his biological daughter.

While the mother and daughter were arguing, Bai Yu quickly walked through the entrance and met the eyes of the middle-aged man in the living room.

Su Haoran put down the file in his hand and stood up. He had a strong aura as the head of the family. He looked like a rather gentle middle-aged man. He wore a pair of plain glasses without prescription, which added a lot of scholarly temperament to him.

"Everyone is here. Let's go to the table and eat first." Su Haoran took off his glasses and said, "Let's talk about what happened recently at the table."

Chapter 115 Civil and Military Examinations

The dinner was quite rich and all of it was made by Shang Ming'e herself.

Bai Yu felt his mouth water as soon as he took a bite. It tasted very good and was not inferior to the chef's.

Most of the modern people's tastes are built up by various spices. Usually, as long as there are enough seasonings, the taste of the dishes can always be varied.

However, even the home-cooked dishes made by Shang Ming'e taste excellent. The seasonings are just right and there is no excessive oil or salt.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu had to divert his attention from the delicious food.

Su Haoran also ate slowly, but his speaking speed was not slow at all. His words were clear and his speaking speed was fast.

"I wasn't in Nanling during this time, but a lot of things happened."

He put down his bowl and said in a low voice, "You two children have suffered a lot... It's because I, as a father, have not done my job well."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "You're being too kind. In that kind of situation, no one could possibly notice it, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Su Haoran didn't deny this, but he still reflected on himself. "That's true, but I still need to reflect on myself. When the other children's parents were worried, I was completely absent and failed to share the pressure with them. This is a dereliction of duty as a parent. Ruoli, Yujing... I'm sorry."

Su Ruoli took a bite of the spring roll and said in a crisp voice, "I don't mind. In fact, it came back intact."

Bai Yu said: "Parents are not omnipotent. Children are not little anymore. They should be responsible for their own lives."

"This is your first time being a child, but it's not our first time being parents." Su Haoran smiled bitterly. "I didn't want you to encounter this kind of thing again, but I didn't expect...ah, things are unpredictable."

Bai Yu's heart moved, and he asked subtly, "Are you talking about...Su Ruoji?"

Shang Ming'e sighed softly, put down her chopsticks, and lost interest in eating. She said with a sad look in her eyes, "Ruoji has been missing for over three years."

Su Ruoli lowered her head and bit the rice grains silently.

Su Haoran placed his hands on the table and clasped them together: "As parents, what we hope most is that you can live in peace and safety together. In fact, after going through this incident, I think you have already fully understood the risks, so..."

He said slowly: "Ruoli, Yujing... I hope you don't apply for the military exam."

He said seriously, "Choose a liberal arts university. As long as it's in a nearby city, I guarantee you'll find one that satisfies you."

Military subjects, extraordinary military subjects, in Daxia, the ratio of civil and military subjects is twenty-two to one.

If you choose liberal arts, you can only do ordinary jobs and the employment scope is not narrow, but choosing liberal arts means you are destined to have no hope of becoming extraordinary for the rest of your life.

Su Ruoli raised her eyes and said quietly, "I have awakened the principles of the heroic spirit, Dad."

"Even so, I hope you won't take the martial arts exam..." Su Haoran said seriously, "So what if you're an innate heroic spirit? It doesn't mean you won't get hurt or die... You know, in our institute, we have several high-level remains donated by innate heroic spirits after their death, used to study the mysterious principles of heroic spirits! This is certainly a talent, but it doesn't mean you have to live like this!"

"I've made up my mind." Su Ruoli looked at Su Haoran and said seriously, "I'm going to Penglai!"

Shang Ming'e frowned: "Do you really have to follow your sister's old path?"

"My sister just disappeared, maybe she just got lost. I want to take her home." Su Ruoli said stubbornly: "I don't believe she is dead. How could such an energetic and stubborn person die? Don't parents want to see my sister come back?"

"I do, very much! I dream about it!" Su Haoran said with absolute certainty, clenching his fingers tightly. "But I regret more. I regret agreeing to let her apply for the military exam seven years ago. If it weren't for that, if I hadn't been soft-hearted, she would still be staying home."

As a father, what he regretted most was that he agreed to his daughter's willfulness without being mentally prepared.

Su Ruoli picked up the bowl of rice, disregarding her ladylike image, and ate the food in big mouthfuls. Then she stood up and her chair moved backwards with the movement.

"I'm stuffed!"

She couldn't convince her parents, but she didn't plan to change her mind either.

Bai Yu watched her leave silently.

"This child is always like this." Shang Ming'e was in great pain. "She is always so stubborn. Yujing, can you try to persuade her?"

Bai Yu took a bite of the croquette and shook his head, saying, "That depends on her."

"Then you plan to..."

"Auntie." Bai Yu interrupted her and replied, "I have already entered the extraordinary realm."

Shang Ming'e was stunned.

Su Haoran sighed heavily. Now he had no reason to stop it.

According to the laws of Daxia, all extraordinary people must be recorded, and young extraordinary people must study in the military department. This is a mandatory obligation.

Why is there this obligation? It is like the country's compulsory conscription. Once we enter a war era, if the war causes a large-scale population loss, then according to the law, everyone has the obligation to defend the country. In fact, military service is also a kind of obligation. You don't have to serve in the military because it is not needed. Once it is needed... then it must be compulsory.

Now Daxia needs to invest a lot of manpower to recover the subsidence area, so it is also mandatory not to let go of anyone who steps into the extraordinary realm.

This is actually the same all over the world. The extraordinary are precisely the barrier used to protect the safety and ordinary lives of ordinary people, so becoming an extraordinary person means taking risks hundreds of times greater than that of ordinary people.

Of course, there are not only risks, but also huge rewards. Once you become a transcendent, you are destined to climb up, the kind that you can never stop for the rest of your life, and you will be improving all your life. Otherwise, it will be like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Powerful strength means higher status and power. After becoming a high-level transcendent, you can get everything you want, and the mortality rate will also drop greatly.

Data shows that the mortality rate of a third-level transcendent while carrying out a mission is less than 3%, and that of a fourth-level transcendent is less than 1/1000, because high-level transcendents are equivalent to a country's strategic reserves and cannot be consumed at will.

But there is no guarantee for the first and second levels.

Even when Su Ruo disappeared while on a mission in Penglai, she was about to advance to the third level of transcendence.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. The thoughts of Su's father and mother are what normal parents would think. However, both Su Ruoli and Bai Yu have their reasons for not being able to stop.

It cannot be said that this family dinner ended in a bad mood, it can only be said that both sides were helpless.

Bai Yu also has a room here, so I don’t have to go back at night.

After dinner, he came to Su Ruoli's room. The latter did not turn on the lights, but sat on the window balcony looking at the starry sky outside.

"Dad and Mom didn't say much to you, did they?"

“They just accepted it naturally.”

"They are always extra tolerant towards you, but they are more serious towards me." Su Ruoli hugged her knees and said, "I just don't understand why they won't let me go find my sister."

"Isn't this simple? We lost one child, are we going to lose a second one?" Bai Yu walked closer and sat on the other side of the bay window.

"I miss my sister." Su Ruoli lowered her head: "I miss her very much."

She showed a fragile expression, and Bai Yu reached out and touched her hair: "I know."

"She won't come back, so I have to go find her." Su Ruoli accepted the comforting touch, a green light flashing in her eyes: "I want to take her home."

"So, you are going to Penglai College."

"Yes, my sister went to Penglai, there must be news about her there." Su Ruoli replied: "I can pass the exam, but..."

"Are you worried that I won't pass the exam?"

"Mu Tou also said in the past that he wanted to take the exam for Penglai. I understand, but..." Su Ruoli hesitated because Bai Yu's talent was not high.

"I'll go too." Bai Yu looked at the starry sky outside the window and whispered, "Of course I'll go."

Because this is the young man’s wish.

Because the boy's mother said that if she could go to Penglai in the future, she hoped he could help her accomplish something.

Bai Yu's biological mother left something behind in Penglai, but she never made it clear and kept it a secret.

The boy's memory of his parents was not very deep, and even his memory of his grandfather Bai Pojun, who had been away from home all year round since he was a child, was quite vague.

There are quite a lot of mysteries about his life experience, but there are almost none about his relatives and friends.

There is only one old man in the Bai family who appears and disappears mysteriously, and Su's father and mother are also acquainted with the boy's biological mother...and the Su family behind the biological mother seems to have a great background, but they have almost no contact.

The Bai family is even more mysterious. Even his biological father is unknown where he has gone, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead. Even if Bai Yu takes the initiative to inquire about this, the answer he gets is that he knows nothing at all.

If it weren't for the fact that there was an old man named Bai in the Bai family who was thinking about his grandson and sending him souvenirs and local specialties, he would have suspected that his mother was deceived into marriage.

Moreover, there are many doubts about the death of the boy’s biological mother. She was clearly in her prime, but she still died.

The specific reason is not clear at all. It even seems that the funeral was very ordinary, with no guests and very low-key.

Because his memory of this part is very vague, Bai Yu has no idea what his elders are deliberately concealing.

But he couldn't ask now, so he could only give up.

"By the way." Bai Yu suddenly remembered something and took Su Ruoli's hand and walked out.

The latter followed obediently and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Yu walked to a door and asked, "Do you have the key to this place?"

"Isn't this Sister Ruoji's room?" Su Ruoli pushed it open gently. "Her room has not been locked for a long time because no one has used it for a long time."

Bai Yu turned on the light and saw that the room was clean and dust-free. The bed was also newly made, which showed that it was cleaned regularly.

Su Ruoli looked at the familiar scenery, his eyes dazed for a moment.

Bai Yu immediately interrupted her thoughts: "Okay, let's talk about it later. Remember Su Ruoji's diary that I mentioned to you?"

"Ah, that's what happened."

"I found three pages, and I wonder if there might be a final page at home."

Chapter 116 New Relic

While Su Ruoli was reading the diary she had copied.

Bai Yu began to search the room.

Unfortunately, there were not many items left in Su Ruoji's room.

Come to think of it, she stayed in Penglai College for four full years and disappeared in the fourth grade. It has been three years now, and most of her daily necessities should be stored in Penglai College.

Of course, I carry a diary with me.

White elm is not found here.
