I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 213: Electromagnetic Induction LV2, 3D Image

Upon enlightenment, Lin Yao figured out many things and somewhat understood why he could absorb some kinds of light and not others.

He even had some speculations about the nature of moonlight.

Nevertheless, according to a saying, as one’s circle of knowledge expanded, so did the circumference of darkness surrounding it.

Lin Yao could empathize with this. The more he came to know, the more he realized he didn’t know.

Unfortunately, his foundation was inadequate and the state of a sage in a Light-Bulb Moment quickly disappeared. He could only bury the things he didn’t know in his heart.

Although the state of enlightenment disappeared, the feelings still lingered. Therefore, Lin Yao didn’t get up. Instead, his lying body became more languid as he tried his best to replicate his earlier enlightenment experience.

This was very useful. Knowledge was power. This enlightenment had taken Lin Yao’s understanding of light to the next level, making it easier for him to study light-related combat skills in the future.

There was also an immediate effect. After understanding the complex relationship between light and electromagnetic waves, Lin Yao discovered that his Electromagnetic Induction had advanced from LV1 to LV2.

[Introduction: The host has thunder talent. After combining this with his mental strength, the host can use his mental strength as a medium to induce magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves. He can also map the received information in his mind. Electromagnetic Induction LV2 will send and present the information to the host in the form of a 3D image in his mind.]

[Note: The range of receiving the electromagnetic waves is linked to the mental strength of the host.]

Originally, Lin Yao’s electromagnetic induction had been like a sonic radar that could only perceive human silhouettes vaguely. This time, the electromagnetic induction transmitted an image to Lin Yao’s mind.

Now, in addition to seeing the image with his eyes, his mind had a 3D layer surrounding him. Everything within a radius of two kilometers was clearly displayed in the layer, and nothing could hide from his detection.

This was a good thing, as it could allow Lin Yao to see and observe things more clearly. However, the clear images had also increased the burden on Lin Yao’s brain.

“Ss… Xiaoxue, press harder.”

Lin Yao was trying to relieve himself from the headache caused by the advancement of electromagnetic induction. Fortunately, after his advancement to a Silver Person, his hypostasis had elevated and his mental tenacity had improved. He could still endure the burden of electromagnetic induction.

In fact, a certain degree of stress was beneficial. As long as he did not reach the limit of his potential, external pressure could stimulate the body to evolve faster.

The same principle applied to exercise, such as running, weightlifting, and other weight-bearing training that could increase muscle strength.

The image layer in his mind was now exerting pressure on his brain and growing his mental strength rapidly.

‘As long as I don’t reach the limit of my hypostasis, a certain amount of pressure is good.’

As he savored the lingering moment of enlightenment and pondered the impact of this situation on him, Lin Yao was fully focused on himself.

This was the natural reaction of every enlightened person. However, doing this when guests arrived was somewhat disrespectful.

Of course, they would understand if they knew about Lin Yao’s situation.

Unfortunately, they didn’t.

At present, they had this impression of Lin Yao.

‘The guests have come, but he’s neither greeting nor welcoming them. Instead, he’s lying down on a girl’s lap lazily and requesting a massage. He even needs someone to feed him food. This is a complete loafer who makes others look down on him instinctively.’

To be specific, there were women in this place. Lin Yao’s demeanor and the fact he was surrounded by several ladies made the policewoman feel even more dissatisfied.

“There are so many girls. What a scumbag. Are you sure the bureau wants us to recruit this playboy?”

“Uh… Youngsters are romantic… Ha ha ha…”

When he saw the death stare of the young policewoman, the smile on the middle-aged man’s face gradually turned awkward and disappeared.

“Inspector Lin Ru, please. We’re here on official business. Please don’t lose your temper like before.”

“I know. But such people will only ruin our culture if they join the civil service! Wait… Are you saying I have a bad temper?”

“No, no. Why would I?”

The two communicated through sound transmission. Based on the transmission, it was obvious that these two people’s evaluation of Lin Yao had somewhat changed because of the latter’s attitude toward others.

However, only the young policewoman revealed the dissatisfaction on her face. The middle-aged man had an amiable expression.

“Student Lin Yao, right? We are…”

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Yao raised his hand to stop him.

“Did the bureau send two groups of people here?”

“No, it’s only us.”

“Wait a minute then. Someone is here again.”

“Huh?”

Lin Yao’s words made the middle-aged man feel slightly confused, but he soon thought of something and frowned slightly.

Lin Yao noticed this subtle expression. After perceiving the people heading toward the place, he tapped his finger on the table and an idea came to his mind.

‘This may not be a bad thing.’

As Lin Yao’s perception range was very wide, no one arrived after five minutes. This made the young policewoman named Lin Ru get impatient.

“It has been five minutes. Are you sure someone will come?”

Lin Yao had no intention of replying. He was enjoying Qin Xue’s massage quietly, and this attitude made the policewoman’s face turn cold.

However, before she continued to speak, they heard footsteps coming from downstairs. The policewoman then realized she had misunderstood and sat down with a cold snort.

Although Lin Ru, who was still young, didn’t feel anything, the middle-aged police officer suddenly looked up at Lin Yao with an astonished expression. He seemed to have thought of something!

‘Hey, this must be a joke. This is a five-minute journey… Damn it. He’s only a beginner warlord!’

With this thought in mind, the middle-aged police officer couldn’t help but secretly spout expletives. Lin Ru had also noticed the change in his expression.

“What happened to you?”

“No, nothing. I’m just thirsty.”

Picking up the glass of water on the table, the middle-aged police officer tried to conceal his shock, and his expression soon returned to normal.

After his expression changed, Xiaomeng led two more people into the house. They were men in military uniforms. Upon seeing the two armed policemen, they halted.

“You guys were quite fast.”

“Well, just one step ahead… Did you guys make a detour when you came?”

“Do you think I learned how to read a map for nothing?”

The middle-aged armed police officer’s question made the two military men look slightly cold. In response, the armed police officer smiled awkwardly.

“No, it’s pretty hard to get here, and I thought you guys might have needed some time.”

As the two forces conversed with each other, Lin Yao’s brains felt slightly more relaxed after the intense stimulation.

He looked up from Qin Xue’s lap and turned his gaze to the two forces in charge of maintaining law and order in China.

“Welcome, everyone. What made you pay a visit in the middle of the night?”

“Student Lin Yao, you haven’t graduated, and no one can recruit you yet. Here’s the thing. We would like to invite you to join our organization after graduation.”

The military was the first to speak. They were stationed at the frontline and faced the most intense battles. Therefore, they needed a strong and powerful troop. As a result, they were given priority to list their terms and conditions regardless of the genius they were dealing with.

“Although you can choose your career after you graduate, we recommend that you decide about your future now. This way, you will get subsidies from the organization while you are studying. The contract we are offering you is the best. There are king-level combat skills and techniques included, as well as a king-level teacher that will teach you personally. If your advancement speed meets our requirements, we’ll provide you with king-level resources…”

The people from the military had said a lot, but Lin Yao didn’t make a decision right away. He looked to the side instead.

Over there, the middle-aged police officer smiled and said, “Our terms and conditions are similar to those stated by our military buddies… No, they’re slightly less. We don’t have that many mystic realms, and our kings are slightly weaker. Nevertheless, we have fewer rules. If you work in the armed police, you can go home more often.”

The military and the police were members of the same family, and both of them had been educated the same way. Therefore, the two parties didn’t engage in a heated argument.

However, Lin Yao had no plans to join either of these two forces.

In fact, he would benefit from joining them. Although both the military and the police would pay him less, he would be in a position of great power upon being promoted to a senior role. For example, a military general stationed in an area had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. Although the police were slightly weaker, tens of thousands of people were maintaining law and order, and this was great power and authority.

However, as representatives of the people, they had great power but also many restrictions.

It was against the disciplinary rules for Lin Yao to have several female assistants serving him daily and openly.

“Sorry, I prefer a life with more freedom.”

Looking at the four girls who were serving Lin Yao, the military men opened their mouths but eventually didn’t try to persuade him further. They understood Lin Yao’s thoughts. However, he was not a king seedling and wasn’t in a position to make the military break the rules for him.

On the other hand, the middle-aged police officer lowered his voice a little and said, “We understand that you are young and romantic. As long as you don’t use your power for personal gain or to deceive others and you don’t expose all this… Forget it.”

The middle-aged armed police officer thought very highly of Lin Yao. The year-round investigations had equipped him with keen observation skills, and he had discovered Lin Yao’s detection ability. Lin Yao could perceive people who were located a five-minute journey away, which was very extreme.

He also realized that Lin Yao was only a beginner warlord now. If he were to advance to a higher level, Lin Yao alone would be akin to a reduced version of Skynet, so he would be able to monitor a city alone.

Furthermore, the most important ability of the police was the ability to investigate cases. Therefore, he wanted to persuade the higher-ups to allocate more resources to Lin Yao.

Unfortunately, Lin Yao’s problem was not the resources, but the behavior and discipline. This was not an issue in other places, but the military and the police were the face of the country. If any of these two forces were to go wrong, they would risk damaging the country’s reputation and prestige.

Lin Yao understood this as well. Though he respected them, he had never thought of joining the forces.

“Sorry to take up your time, Student Lin Yao.”

“It’s okay. We’ll have a chance to cooperate in the future.”

In line with the military’s swift and decisive style, the military men left the place very quickly. Lin Yao saw the two teams off by walking them to the door. Then, raising his brows slightly, he looked into the distance out of the corner of his eyes. Someone was heading his way again.

“What’s going on today? Are people coming one after another?”

“What you did today has stunned many people. Those who heard the news don’t want others to take the lead and naturally rush over.”

These words made Lin Yao pull a long face.

“I have the feeling that my information is everywhere.”

“It’s not your fault. Shanghai has too many powerful forces. In a small city, it’s very likely that only the mayor would be in a position to investigate you.”

The middle-aged police officer was quite humorous, and he and Lin Yao conversed quite a lot. However, he didn’t plan to take them downstairs. Upon reaching the doorstep, he was prepared to watch them leave.

The place Lin Yao rented was not very luxurious. Nevertheless, it was in a good location. There was an elevator opposite the door, and one could get up and down the building conveniently.

When the elevator door was about to open, Lin Yao was prepared to return to the house.

Just as he turned his head, a malicious chill that could strike terror in one’s heart suddenly appeared in his sense of perception, making him shiver.

“Be careful, there is a freak!”

Anxious and shocked, Lin Yao hollered furiously to the four people who were leaving. When his warning was heard, the four of them hadn’t sensed anything yet. However, as elites who battled all year round, aside from Lin Ru, the other three people reacted very swiftly.

They immediately took out their weapons and looked around. The middle-aged police officer also protected Lin Ru by standing in front of her.

However, the trio didn’t discover any abnormalities after looking around.

“Where is it?”

There was no need for them to ask. Lin Yao told them the answer, “Behind you guys. There is a problem with the elevator!”

Buzz, buzz.

As he warned them, there was a burst of electric light in Lin Yao’s eyes. Against the backdrop of the electric light, Lin Yao’s temperament suddenly changed from languid to cold and aloof.

He was unlocking his thinking speed acceleration!

At the same time, electric currents were circling Lin Yao’s right arm. The electric power triggered a magnetic field, forming a strong force around Lin Yao’s arm.

The Super Electromagnetic Gun was ready to go!

Unlike the competition during daytime, this time, after confirming the enemy was evil, Lin Yao was no longer using the game token as a pellet but a tungsten alloy armor-piercing pellet he had long carried with him as a precaution.

After making numerous preparations within a very short time, Lin Yao focused his gaze on what was before him. His thinking speed was three times the speed of others, so everything in the world became extremely slow in Lin Yao’s eyes. The elevator door, which was about to open, had also started moving in slow motion in front of his eyes.

When it opened slightly, Lin Yao flicked his thumb lightly and made a sizzling sound. The armor-piercing pellet made of tungsten alloy disappeared from Lin Yao’s fingertips as if it had teleported and shot into the gap of the elevator.

“This shot can penetrate elevators and walls!”

The sound of the air explosion would reach Lin Yao’s ears only after the tungsten alloy pellet shot into the gap of the elevator door. The speed of the pellet fired by the Super Electromagnetic Gun was that fast.

The Super Electromagnetic Gun was well-known for its strong penetrating power. Lin Yao had fired at full force. He felt that this shot would be able to shoot through everything in front of him even if it couldn’t kill the freak.

However, something Lin Yao hadn’t expected happened. After the electromagnetic force propelled and shot the tungsten alloy armor-piercing pellet carrying strong kinetic energy into the gap of the elevator door, not even one sound was heard.

‘Impossible. Even if the freak manages to block or dodge it, there will be a sound.’

Although the tungsten alloy pellet was small, it was also special armor-piercing ammunition, not an armature pellet that would explode. Propelled by a huge electromagnetic force, the power of this pellet was akin to that of a cannonball.

This was also the reason most electromagnetic weapons were named cannons and not guns in Mandarin.

Regardless of the enemy, a loud booming sound would occur as long as the pellet of the Super Electromagnetic Gun hit the target.

However, at that moment, the expected commotion didn’t happen, and the elevator was like an abyss that had swallowed everything.

“Tsk… There is danger ahead. Retreat!”

The Super Electromagnetic Gun hadn’t contributed. Gasping coldly, Lin Yao had a feeling he couldn’t fight the freak in the elevator. He hurriedly yelled at the others to stay away.

As for him, he was leading Qin Xue and the girls away while keeping an eye on the elevator. He was prepared to break the glass windows at the back of the house to escape.

‘This is Shanghai. I don’t need to step forward. I just need to protect myself.’

When he sensed the freak, Lin Yao’s reaction was extremely fast. He was very decisive when it came to attacking and escaping.

However, the ability of this freak was somewhat unusual. Although Lin Yao was fast, he was still tricked.

When the elevator door opened, Lin Yao’s eyes lit up when he discovered that, contrary to what he’d thought, there was no freak in the elevator. There was only an ordinary glass mirror.

Reflected in the mirror was the situation in his house and a few strange and mysterious figures.

After taking a closer look, Lin Yao discovered that the strange figures were actually Lin Yao himself and the women next to him, as well as the vigilant military men and armed policemen.

Upon seeing the figures in the mirror, Lin Yao entered a trance.

However, this trance came and disappeared very quickly within one breath of time. If it hadn’t been for the thinking speed acceleration, Lin Yao wouldn’t have realized this.

After the trance disappeared and he came back to his senses, Lin Yao looked ahead, only to discover that the mirror was still in the elevator. However, the figures in it had disappeared, which made Lin Yao heave a sigh of relief.

‘Phew… Was that a hallucination? No!’

However, before he could finish exhaling, Lin Yao perceived a numb feeling on his scalp and thought of a horrifying situation.

Due to the reflection of light, humans would be able to see their own image in the mirror when they looked into it. However, there were only reflections of scenery and objects and none of their figures in the mirror. No matter what, something didn’t seem right, and a terrifying conjecture appeared in Lin Yao’s mind.

‘Could we have… entered the mirror?’
