BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 - Luxury Testing.
That very evening, Drake and all his friends flew back to their homeland. The rest of the students in the college were called over by the embassy and were given a choice whether they would like to stay in the Jewel Nation or go back to the Crypto nation. Surprisingly, all of them stayed. The reason was that they did not have any significance back at home as well.
...
In the military zone hospital, Yang Dao was sleeping on the bed with comfort. On the couch beside him sat Laohu Bai. She was meditating, suddenly the door of the ward was pushed open and Lin peeked in. The white-haired girl opened her eyes and asked her in a low voice, "What is it?"
Lin replied, "The task has been completed, General."
Laohu Bai nodded and was about to send her away when Yang Dao, who still had his eyes closed, spoke up, "Senior Lin, you can call in the others. I am not asleep."
The general nodded and Lin returned to call over the rest, she turned her head to Yang Dao and asked, "Young Master, since when have you been awake?"
Yang Dao replied, "Almost a couple of hours, you were meditating. I didn\'t think that disturbing you was a good thing. Also, I meditated as well. I can now move my hands slightly." he raised his arms a little.
He said, "While meditating I focused on your source essence, it gave me a refreshing feeling. It was pure fluke that I tapped in on this secret."
Laohu Bai smiled and said, "So, you finally figured it out?"
The boy asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you can focus on one source essence at a time, as you grow stronger and learn more about elements you will be able to use two or more source essence together. In simpler terms, you can be seen as a processor. As you upgrade the more tasks you can handle at a time. By tasks I mean..." Laohu Bai\'s words were completed by Yang Dao, who said, "Manipulating and integrating with the source essence."
The girl nodded. Before they had the time to continue, the door was knocked. Laohu Bai said, "Come in."
Victor entered the room with, Kaya, Talen, and Lin in tow. They all saluted Laohu Bai, who nodded back to them.
Kaya took the lead, "General, we apologize for underestimating the situation. We were not good enough to be Yang Dao\'s protection team." then she bowed.
The rest also followed and gave a bow. Yang Dao glanced at Laohu Bai and said, "Baibai, do you want to go on a drive after I get well?" his voice may sound sweet but the threat was immense. Laohu Bai was planning to smash the four people with her hammer tongue but the Dao child tamed the white tiger to be a kitty.
She sighed and said, "It\'s fine. The fault is not yours. we all specialize in attacks and destruction of the target. Also, to take into account we usually dwell in the forests and not the concrete jungle. You guys did well enough to bring him to the hospital in time. Raise your heads."
The four did as commanded. Yang Dao said, "Did you guys not take a bath since you went out? Then you even came here straight?"
Victor smiled and said, "Yeah, we came here straight after dealing with the task."
Yang Dao scrunched his nose and said, "Senior victor, I am not praising you. This is a hospital ward and I am a patient prone to infections. You guys came here covered with the scent of a massacre on you. Such unhygienic behavior. Go, go clean up. We can eat together later." listening to his words the people smiled and left the ward after saluting Laohu Bai.
Later on, the four joined Yang Dao and Laohu Bai for the dinner. Feng Yun was busy taking care of some business affairs. The curtain of night fell over silently. Yang Dao slept comfortably on the bed with Laohu Bai beside him. Before falling asleep, he asked her to go to bed, but she just said that she can handle it. She was an Elemental God plus a general in the special forces. This much endurance was not even worth thinking about.
...
The night passed swiftly like a swallow flying through the skies. The following morning Doctor Stephen came for a check-up and he dealt with the stitches and gave some instructions regarding the cleansing and bathing to Yang Dao. He also used a water-resistant/proof bandage to cover the wound. Feng Yun has come over to take the boy back to the Dao Courtyard Mansion.
Yang Dao bade farewell to the nurses and the staff who had taken care of him these two days. Then the two people boarded a helicopter and flew away. Inside the helicopter, Yang Dao asked, "Sister Yun, what about Icarus and the rest?"
Feng Yun replied to him, "I arranged for them to take the helicopter from Lakewood Residency. Lisa will be accompanying them. She was living alone there for two days. So I thought about calling her over for the time being as well."
Yang Dao had no objections and nodded. Feng Yun then said, "Icarus asked me whether they can bring over Kylie Dew, as she is also a programmer involved. I agreed on my own initiative. Hope you don\'t mind." her teasing was evident.
The boy shook his head and said, "When did you pick up Baibai\'s disease of teasing me?" his tone was helpless, making Feng Yun chuckle.
Soon, the chopper landed on the helipad built in the mansion. Yang Dao got down with Feng Yun supporting him with her hands. The boy suddenly said, "Can you have a rocking chair placed in the pavilion? I would like to rest there. I need to let the air wash this medicinal smell off me. I don\'t know how the medical staff tolerates this."
Feng Yun smiled and nodded, she took him to the pavilion slowly while a maid and a steward arranged for a rocking chair with a thin mattress over it. Yang Dao bent the air like a gentle breeze as he sat down on it. He sighed, "This is life."
Feng Yun shook his head at his antics. This boy was just afraid that if he went inside the house, Feng Yun will make his sleep to recover his energy. Soups were not enough to make him feel energized and also he just sat through an hour-long flight.
She turned to a maid and said, "Prepare some chicken soup, some little fish recipes for the lunch also, remember we will have some guests over."
The maid was about to leave when Yang Dao said, "Madam, wait. I have a menu." he gave her several names, while he kept looking at Feng Yun from the corner of his eyes.
After the maid went away Yang Dao asked, "Sister Yun, what about my car?"
The girl replied, "Under repair. Will come back when you recover." her words made Yang Dao feel at ease. He squinted his eyes and swayed lightly in the rocking chair. After a few minutes, he fell asleep unknowingly.
Feng Yun received a message from the security that a chopper is inbound. She allowed it and stood up. Despite the status, she must treat the guest with courtesy. Turned to Yang Dao and said in a soft voice, "Dao, your friends have arrived, wake up."
The boy woke up, glanced at her drowsily, and said, "Food is ready?"
Feng Yun could not help but laugh at this. This foodie was thinking about food and not his friends. She helped him up and sorted his hair carefully and then took him to the helipad. Yang Dao held her hand gently. He asked, "Are they here?" in reply he got a nod from the other party.
Soon, Icarus, Ray, Kiya, and Kylie stepped down the chopper with their eyes almost falling off their sockets. Lisa was the last one to get off the chopper. She saw Yang Dao and Feng Yun walking towards them and rushed over to meet them.
Lisa came over and bowed twice to Yang Dao and Feng Yun. She asked in her soft voice, "Young Master, are you alright now?"
Yang Dao nodded, as he replied, "I am fine now. I apologize for leaving you alone in the house."
Lisa shook her head like a rattle at his apology. Yang Dao smiled and walked forward to meet the others. Kiya greeted first Feng Yun with a bow and then she came to Yang Dao and held his hand. She said, "Why are you not resting?"
Yang Dao replied, "I have some work to do and then eat some food. Then I will go to bed. Don\'t worry."
Feng Yun was smiling at their behavior, which was as if a couple. While Kylie was totally burning on the inside. She did not dare to show it in front of Feng Yun but Kiya was now a love rival for her. After greeting them, Feng Yun took them all inside the mansion.
Yang Dao, Ray, Icarus, Kylie, and Kiya came to the study and Icarus set up the equipment. He looked at the data and then said after half an hour, "This is still lacking but we did not have many resources if only we code have more cars equipped... Yeah, we can do this."
He called over Feng Yun and said, "Can we use the cars in the garage for the experiment? Like you just take one out at a time and the rest are just lying down like empty shells. So we can equip them with the sensors and have them take a run in the city during the commuting hours. The data input will grow exponentially."
Feng Yun nodded and said, "Why do you ask just use it."
Yang Dao smiled, he did not use any extra resources just recycled what Feng Yun did not use. This was effective and simple.
