Chapter 6: The Opportunity of Fate

  Contractor's machine

  Watching Duan Chuyue become more and more wronged, her eyes also becoming teary, Duan Wenyu finally exploded in anger.

  "Alright, alright!" He was so angry that he was humming with rage, but there was nothing he could do to Duan Chu. In the end, it was still Mo Jiaxuan who cared: "You like him that much?"

  Duan Chu's momentum paused, a flash of sadness and determination crossed his face: "No matter who he marries, it can't be Bei Jinglan's child!"

  Duan Wenyu and Bi Weisi stared at each other, somewhat unable to keep up with Duan Chu's thoughts. Even willing to become the lowest-ranking warrior, Duan Chu's infatuation with Meng Jiaxi was beyond doubt, so why did it seem like he was talking about someone else when mentioning the engagement - specifically, Duan Yaqing?

  "Alas, actually, it's only when the Meng and Duan families are united in marriage that you'll have hope of being together with him." Qiong said with a sigh.

  Because of the well-rehearsed lines and straight gaze, Du Chu was startled by Qiong's words and stiffened all over. Looking at Qiong's still elegant face, she shook her head abruptly and stuttered: "Grandmother, how is this possible?"

  If it weren't for fear of arousing suspicion, he would have liked to transform into a raging emperor. Is this grandmother's brain problematic or does she think the original master's mother was cheated on in marriage, so let the original master take revenge in person?

  Qiong smiled meaningfully, disregarding her husband and Beavis' surprise, slowed down her tone and said with a gentle smile: "You probably don't know, unlike ordinary husbands and wives, warriors who haven't formed a contract marriage can have one to four concubines or mistresses outside of their main wife. There are even many who keep lovers on the side. This is also why we've never stopped Mo Jia from getting close to you. Because whether or not you're his contracted partner, if he likes you, he won't give up on you. That's why your father was so angry about you taking the evolution agent - once you become a warrior, you'll really have no hope."

  This is of course nonsense, if Duan Chuyi really becomes a contract partner, they will only be sent to the Contract Partner Guild in the capital star for matching, and at that time there are many more excellent innate warriors to choose from; as for being a concubine or an unnamed lover, Duan Jia's old ancestor Duan Qiyao is a ninth-level warrior, how can Duan Jia's children be so humble!

  However, Duan Chu didn't know that as long as he didn't cause trouble at the engagement party, she would naturally arrange for him to be persuaded. Dealing with a weak and incompetent waste was simplicity itself for Qiong. As for the future, Duan Chu's life would of course be arranged by her, and Bei Jinglan was an idiot who only knew how to make trouble, so there was no need to intervene at all.

  Duan Wenyu furrowed his brow, and he naturally knew this. The excessive mental and physical energy of the warriors would lead to a lack of comfort for the contractors, so they had to find other safe outlets.

  However, it's clear that Bai Jinglan and Duan Yaqing won't agree to let Mo Jiaxuan get away with his behavior. Bai Jinglan is a high-level pharmacist, and even if he looks down on him, for warriors below the sixth rank who don't have a contract, a high-level pharmacist is an existence that absolutely cannot be offended. Moreover, now that Duan Churu has become the side king, what face does he have left to see his father and other brothers?

  Duan Wenyu turned his gaze to Duan Chu, seeing that he was still dazed, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Your grandmother said so, are you willing?"

  At this point, Duan Chu had already made up his mind. The grandparents of the two original masters in front of him not only lowered their status to comfort him but also did not dare to restrain him. If they knew their true concerns, they would not have to worry about his life safety and could even take advantage of the situation to leave this family full of calculations.

  "I refuse!" Duan Chuxin replied firmly, her eyes no longer avoiding his. With a tone of resentment, she continued: "Even if I weren't a member of the Duan family, I would never stoop so low. Let's just say that if Mo Jiaxuan really liked me, he wouldn't have agreed to marry Duan Yaqing right after my 18th birthday. He was just hoping that I would become his contract partner."

  Duan Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that this grandson was extremely pleasing to the eye. "Good, a descendant of the Duan family must not belittle himself!"

  Qiong was also surprised and looked at Duan Chu with suspicion. Could it be that this time's emotional ordeal had actually made this weak grandson grow up?

  "It's better this way." Qiong nodded and looked at Duan Chu deeply, saying: "Actually, the marriage between the two families of Meng and Duan was decided by your grandfather and the great marshal of the Meng family. You really wronged your sister."

  Duan Chu's face changed color, as if he had thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he didn't continue speaking.

  Qiong's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Without city walls, and without ability, it's even easier to control. After all, the Duan family raising an idle person is nothing simpler. As for the conflict between Duan Chu and Bei Jinglan, mother and daughter, if Bei Jinglan can't even deal with a normal person with low spiritual power, she wouldn't have climbed to the position of high-level pharmacist.

  Duan Wenyu saw that this storm had also passed, and he was satisfied. Seeing that Qiong had finished speaking, he instructed Bevis in a low voice: "Xiaoqi's body needs to be well taken care of. Have the medical team assign someone to follow him specially."

  "After finishing, he arranged for Duan Chu in a crisp and neat manner: 'You are the descendant of my Duan family, we will not treat you unfairly. After the age of 18, specialized learning will be conducted according to talent and aspiration. However, you are not a warrior, so there is no need for centralized teaching, just find what interests you on the star domain! If you want to deepen a certain aspect, Grandpa can invite a famous teacher for you.'"

  The Hua Wa Star System has a vast star domain network, and within the coverage of the star domain, all basic training and intermediate-level specialized learning can be provided. Minors under the age of 18 are all taking basic courses on the star domain network, except for the spiritual power test at the age of 10, minors can even stay at home without leaving their homes.

  Of course, from the age of twelve to eighteen, there will be successive awakeners who must register with the Warrior or Contractor Guild and concentrate on specialized training at the Ministry's affiliated schools. The acquired warriors just go a little later and need to pass the assessment.

  Duan Chu watched as Duan Wenyu quickly made arrangements, and before he could say anything else, the conversation was abruptly cut off. He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in his heart. Originally, he had planned to use the excuse that he didn't want to see Duan Yaqing and Meng Jiayi, and temporarily leave the Duan household. But now, with Qiong's words and Duan Wenyu's swift arrangements, he found himself unable to speak out. However, with Duan Wenyu arranging for a doctor to attend to him, it seemed that he no longer had to worry about Bei Jinglan making any secret moves.

  Bai Wei smiled as he looked at Duan Chu. Being able to break free from the shackles of love and coincidentally gaining the favor of the great general, it seemed that Seventh Young Master would no longer be as muddle-headed as before. In fact, his spiritual strength was slightly lacking, although in some areas he couldn't achieve too much, at least his life was safe. This was probably also the original intention of the great general and his wife.

  Duan Chuyi thought of becoming a warrior, Biweis reminded him: "In the military department, even professional maintenance of mechs requires high-level spiritual power support. Moreover, postnatal warriors rely on evolution agents to externalize their innate spiritual power, making their spiritual power more violent and difficult to control, with an extremely high dependence on condensing agents. Seventh Young Master, it's best not to try taking evolution agents in the future."

  The Star Domain Network has been opened, and the previously cancelled electronic defense must be redeployed. If Duan Chu does something dangerous, it will not be easy to detect. And with the subtle relationship between Duan Chu and Bei Jinglan, if Duan Chu becomes a warrior, getting the Mind Concentration Pill will be extremely difficult.

  All of Duan Chu's understanding of Ibiza came from the original master's memory. As for the problem of spiritual power value and awakening, the original master only knew that there were level divisions and awakening could become a contractor or an innate warrior. What is awakening, the original master did not know at all. On Earth, the Demos star people also did not explain why he was always in an awakened state, causing Duan Chu to be confused now.

  "Lord Bevis, what is this 'external release of spiritual energy'?" asked Duan Chuguang with respect.

  He remembered that the original owner had regarded becoming a contractor as a lifeline, and when he was on Xingyu Domain Network before, he had searched countless times for information about the awakening process, but to no avail. Apparently, this question was either not publicly available or the original owner's permissions were insufficient.

  The person in front of me, Mr. Bevis, is a congenital warrior who has successfully awakened and must know what to do. And since Duan Chu wants to live on this planet, the focus of his research should also be the spiritual power and awakening that the people of the Hua Va star system care about most. Because behind him, Bei Jinglan and Duan Yaqing will not let him go easily.

  Baiwei saw Duan Chu being so concerned about awakening and smiled indifferently. Not to mention that Duan Chu was a person who pinned all his hopes on becoming a contractor, even other minors were mostly very curious about it.

  He thought for a moment, explaining as simply and clearly as possible: "What is meant by awakening is the innate spiritual power that can leave the body for a certain period of time. The characteristic of a warrior's spiritual power is aggression, while that of a contractor is gentleness. The higher the spiritual power value, the longer the time, and the greater the aggression."

  Because it's a profound and mysterious issue, no matter how detailed the explanation is, it can't be fully understood. Moreover, for those who haven't awakened or successfully transformed through evolution agents, even if they know about it, it's useless. The Stellaluna Network has blocked these contents anyway. Of course, if you ask a warrior or a contractor, you can still get the answer. Otherwise, Bevis wouldn't have said what he said earlier.

  Duan Chu only felt very familiar, leaving the body and existing independently? How does it sound like the soul leaving the body on Earth, is it an awakened person who can leave the body? Those who can attack are warriors, those without attacking ability are contractors?

  Duan Chu suddenly remembered the scene where he was drained of his spiritual energy and died, a kind of soul-leaving fear surged up in his heart, making Duan Chu's whole body cold.

  "Thank you, Lord Bevis." Duan Chu hastily expressed his gratitude.

  Baiwei's eyes were piercing, and he naturally saw through Duan Chu's unnatural behavior, thinking that he was reminded of his own failure to become a contractor. He didn't expose him, but simply nodded, and immediately used his authority to contact the central control within the castle, opening the electronic defense and star network in Duan Chu's room.

  "Seventh Young Master, I've opened up the Star Domain Network for you. You can go take a look and find some topics that interest you." After finishing speaking, Biweis saw his distracted expression, smiled lightly, and turned to leave.

  At this time, Duan Chu didn't have the heart to go online on Xingyu Wang. Just before Bi Wei opened Xingyu Wang, he suddenly felt a strange energy in the room. No, it wasn't an energy, but rather a magnetic field that had formed, yet without any aggressive intent, it was as if something was being isolated from the outside.

  Duan Chu involuntarily closed her eyes and instinctively went to investigate the mysterious and eerie presence that had suddenly appeared.

  Invisible to the naked eye, a transparent energy like a whirlwind suddenly burst forth in the mind, with countless spiritual tentacles extending outward. Although his eyes were clearly closed, Duan Chu still easily "saw" the target of his search, which was none other than the three-dimensional strong electronic interference defense network presented by Yuan Zhuang's memory in the star domain web.

  "Beep, beep, beep", the familiar alarm sounded, Duan Chugang thought of opening his eyes, and his attention was immediately drawn to the door. The transparent control door that originally needed to be manipulated to turn off the alarm, as he imagined, appeared in front of him, and Pres stood at the door with a food cart.

  Duan Chuguang was about to try and take a peek at the dinner plate, when "Huh?" Pres exclaimed in surprise. Duan Chuguang's body swayed, and his spiritual energy surged back into his brain like a tidal wave. "Mmm," Duan Chuguang let out a muffled groan, as that strange energy from his past life that made his body weak appeared once again, stirring restlessly inside him, sending waves of familiar pain through his body.

  Duan Chu gritted her teeth and sat back down on the edge of the bed, reaching out to press the button that opened the door of the warning light.
