Chapter 129
Qiu Chi first went to the ghost world to check on Lou Ye.
Lou Ye was still the same, except now no one dared to bully him. He had also shot up in height.
When Qiu Chi saw him, he was practicing magic.
Seeing his level of effort, Qiu Chi felt even more disdain for Murong Yi.
She took out a spatial ring from the magic world and handed it to Lou Ye. "This is for you."
Lou Ye took it and looked at it. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did you go rob the magic world?"
Qiu Chi, accustomed to hitting Murong Yi, couldn't resist slapping him. "What nonsense are you talking? Just take what I give you."
Lou Ye said, "...Oh, I see."
Even so, Lou Ye was still curious about where the spatial ring and its contents came from.
He stared at Qiu Chi silently, looking as if he wanted to say something but was holding back.
Qiu Chi was already used to this behavior from him. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't dilly-dally."
"Where did this come from?"
"Why do you care so much? Once it's in my hands, it's mine. And since I'm giving it to you, it's yours."
Lou Ye: "..."
Qiu Chi and Lou Ye really had nothing to talk about; they couldn't even manage to reminisce.
After giving him the ring, Qiu Chi ate a meal of meat he had roasted, then floated away.
One was taciturn, barely saying a word all day, while the other was a chatterbox who could ramble on by himself for ages. She wondered what the next one would be like.
Qiu Chi went to the mecha world.
The architecture in the mecha world was mechanical. The deeper one went, the more mechanical it became, with almost no greenery to be seen. Everyone had their own mecha, which was usually stored in a portable spatial button.
Perhaps because they needed to pilot mechas, the people of this small world, both men and women, were all quite tall.
However, the most important factor for piloting a mecha was actually mental strength.
Chu Huai, the native of this small world, originally possessed S+ level mental strength. However, at the age of thirteen, he was schemed against by a family member. His mental strength was severely damaged, leaving him unable to pilot a mecha.
His status plummeted. It took only three days for him to fall from being heaven's favored son to being trampled in the dust.
When the doctors announced that due to the severe trauma, he would likely never be able to pilot a mecha again in his life, all his former glory vanished into thin air.
Even knowing who the culprit was did no good. No one would stand up for him now that he was considered useless. On the contrary, they had to curry favor with the very person who had harmed him, because that culprit possessed A+ mental strength.
The Chu family was a minor one, and the highest mental strength level in their lineage had been S+. When Chu Huai tested as having S+ mental strength, the entire family was ecstatic.
Everyone except the clan leader and the wife he later married.
The clan leader was a love brain. He had been extremely reluctant to marry Chu Huai's mother. After she died in childbirth, he married his current wife almost immediately.
Then, just a few months later, Chu Huai's younger brother was born.
At first, Chu Huai didn't know he wasn't born to the current wife. He just found it strange. Why did his father and mother both like his younger brother but not him?
But when he tested as having S+ mental strength at the age of seven, his parents' attitude toward him became exceptionally good. He was quite happy about it and never stopped to wonder why they had treated him so poorly before.
He had the clan elders to thank for being able to live safely until the age of thirteen after his mental strength was discovered, before he was finally schemed against and his power was crippled.
Unfortunately, Chu Huai was too naive and simple-minded. He had no guard up against his family at all. When his younger brother handed him something and told him what to do, he did exactly as he was told.
After his mental strength was crippled and his entire life was ruined, you might think he would be filled with resentment and bitterness, right?
Wrong. He wasn't.
He was surprisingly philosophical about it. He felt that since he was already useless, he might as well live an ordinary life.
As for the culprit who had harmed him... the family had finally produced someone with high mental strength, and the clan elders treated him so well. It was better to just let it go...
Before he learned that he wasn't their biological son, Chu Huai had always been naive and simple-minded.
This continued until he met Yi Luo. They became friends, and Yi Luo overheard a conversation between the clan leader and his wife. She heard how they had caused his mother's death and how they had conspired to harm him.
Yi Luo was furious. Chu Huai was stunned for a moment, and the constant smile on his lips finally faded. But after a long silence, he merely sighed and said, "I'm useless now. Even if I know the truth, what can I do?"
"No, you're not useless! You just can't pilot a mecha anymore. You can learn other things, like magic from the magic world or metaphysics from the ghost world. You can learn all of it."
