Chapter 50: Schedule (Part ?) (1/2)
Chapter 50: Schedule (Part ½)
After all, there was the lesson to be learned from Yan Hong. Luo Nan had to consider the issue of plagiarism.
In the end, the Wilderness Explorers Society was not the academic circle. Academic competition, contested ground, didn’t seem to exist here. Instead, they cared more about practical results.
The status of a psychic was exceedingly high without even taking into account the special circumstances of the present. As long as he stood his ground and displayed the functionality of his grandfather’s results, no one would be able to strip away his grandfather’s achievements.
He considered things a few more times, but he still decided to place his trust with Octopus. He replied simply:
“You can.”
Octopus burst into laughter on the spot: “Excellent. Then I will prepare the power of attorney form. The Society uses a unified system, so we will need two people to act as notaries. Each of us will choose one person. Who will you choose? Your secretary?”
Luo Nan was finally completely at ease upon hearing Octopus take the initiative to say these words. He thought of He Yueyin’s personality. Indeed, she would make the best notary and would agree to it.
The family had already boarded the car right now and the car drove off from the sanitorium. Luo Nan sat shotgun again and he turned his head to watch the setting sun gradually turn blood red amidst the large buildings. He was silent for a time.
A moment passed before he requested something of Octopus: “My Grandfather is there. I ask you to look after him.”
Octopus naturally pledged to Luo Nan: “Be at ease! I never knew that there was such a god next to me before. Now I know. From now on, he’s my grandfather too! I will be sure to visit him morning and evening and attend to him properly.
“......Cough. There’s no need to follow my Grandfather too closely with his current condition.” Luo Nan was worried that Octopus was unable to think clearly, that Octopus would seize his grandfather as a treasure and interrogate him several times.
“I understand. I understand. It would be bad to disturb Grandfather with his current condition. Then how about you let me see Grandfather’s records post haste?”
Octopus was currently in an extremely interested state. His thoughts were jumping around at lightning speeds: “Oh right. I heard you mention that Grandfather also had a large portion of his records lost. This is easy to deal with. Let’s issue a mission in the Society later. We just need to set the reward to be very high. For example, one Honor Point for one notebook. Do you think even President Ouyang would mobilize? Don’t be scared about not having enough points, I can split the cost. Just give me a complete copy of anything related to drugs and I will pay all the points okay?”
Luo Nan smiled from Octopus’s passionate surge of details. But soon Luo Nan changed the topic to something else:
“Oh right. Let me ask something else Bro Octopus. For an ability user, It doesn’t matter how crazy one’s Self-Logic is as long as their Self-Logic is complete and can be verified, right?”
“Of course! Just look at those Secret Orders with their Gods, Holy Sons and Daughters, and First Oblatums1. Their mysterious and magical abilities are way too overpowered. They’re unstoppable.”
Octopus has spoken all of this in a single breath, but he immediately felt that part of it was wrong so he rushed with some additional words: “Mm. Mm. What’s more important than a complete logic is the verification. The verification! If you can’t meddle with reality, then you’re just psychotic; you just believe you can meddle with reality. Now that’s a serious mental disorder…… Oh, shoot! It looks like the things I just told you are things you find in the intermediate level seminars. This is beyond your scope. Don’t let your imagination run wild!”
No wonder Octopus worked in the mental sanatorium; he was very keen towards these questions. He even worried that Luo Nan would let his imagination run wild without bound. Luo Nan being at a young age, and also being a psychic, made it so that misunderstandings could easily give rise to extremely serious issues.
Luo Nan watched Octopus continue to give him advice and laughed: “Relax Bro Octopus. I know. The most important task for me to do right now is to temper my body and achieve an equilibrium between my mental mind and fleshly body. Then through the dual channels of the mental mind and fleshly body, I shall slowly perceive this world to form an answer progressively…… I shouldn’t spend my time interpreting this world right?”
“Good!”
Octopus didn’t know that most of these words were pointers from He Yueyin2. He immediately let out a breath of relief and greatly supported Luo Nan: “Excellent. You have wits kid! One should move steadily, one step at a time. Indeed, your body is lacking some polishing. But that doesn’t matter. You’re still growing man!
“When the matter with the Human-Faced Arachnid is over, I will give you a set of training methods for the mentally enhanced. You will certainly achieve equilibrium in just a few years time before your body finishes maturing. You will become an Awakened when that happens from relying on the foundation I lay for you. You should naturally find success like a canal that is formed when water flows.”
“Oh right. I’ll send you the study notes I took in the junior classes back in the day. You can refer to them for now. There are a lot of very fundamental things in them, but this information will still be useful even if you become an Extraordinary.”
