Chapter 536: Chapter 443 Magnetic Resonance_1
Cultivating a psychic barrier isn’t an overnight job; it requires long-term training to increase proficiency. It’s going to be a good half month before Tang Qing can use it with ease and at will.
Then there’s another skill.
It’s called ’Magnetic Resonance’.
As the term implies, it’s related to magnetic fields.
The main idea is to sense magnetic fields to achieve interaction.
For example, Tang Qing once thought that if his nerve telekinesis became powerful enough, he could lift himself up and glide freely in the sky. He tried once before and managed to slow down his falling speed, but ’Magnetic Resonance’ completely subverted his previous view.
It turns out you don’t have to use nerve telekinesis to lift yourself up and fly; instead, you have to sense the planetary magnetic field, establish a connection, stimulate the psychic force to interact with the magnetic field in some manner. There’s an easy way to understand it - it’s anti-gravity.
Yes, it’s anti-gravity.
The method is to quickly form telekinetic nodes in the body, like under the feet. Once formed, sense the magnetic field and act in the opposite direction according to the method described in the book. This way, not only can you fly upwards or downwards, but in every direction. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
On planets, the main thing is to sense the planetary magnetic field.
Leaving the planet, to fly within a star system, the planetary magnetic field no longer provides enough anti-motion. You’d have to sense the magnetic field of the star. As to how to do it outside the star system, the guidebook doesn’t say. Logically, you should sense a deeper physical force.
Or...
Goodness gracious, in such a vast universe, who would be as stupid as to fly by oneself, seeking such thrills? There’re certainly many types of flying devices.
But ’Magnetic Resonance’ isn’t just about flying around, it can also quickly accomplish many things usually difficult to do. For instance, in combat, when you can’t find a point of leverage in mid-air, you can use the telekinetic nodes to forcibly turn or even move from mid-air. It’s very convenient.
However, this is a rather difficult skill to master as well. Don’t expect to get it under two months.
Thus...
Tang Qing spent the whole night getting familiar with these two skills. If this were a war-torn world, he’d be rushing and training crazily, but as the world was at peace, he didn’t need to rush. He could just make an effort and take his time. It’s perfectly okay to make a little progress every day.
After all, there’s still a long time before the next gene lock is unlocked.
...
The next day.
After washing up.
"Old Tang, why the hell is your skin so good, even better than your wife’s?" Li Kai said, looking envious. Tang Qing’s flawless skin had been the target of his complaints for more than once.
It’s really demoralizing, not just for men, but I bet the woman would be envious too.
As for Tang Qing, who was evolving more towards a pretty-boy, he was quite troubled. But there was nothing he could do; as his strength improved, all aspects of his bodily functions would naturally be in optimal condition. It would even be hard for him to get a tan.
Body fitness of up to five hundred meant his healing powers were off the charts. He couldn’t tan even after a month of sun exposure. If he cut himself now, the wound would heal in just ten seconds. And that was already him exerting a lot of strength. For the average person, the power within Tang Qing could enhance the strength of their muscles to a point where they were hard to wound.
With pure telekinesis, a density of over twenty could reduce the impact of a bullet. Now as long as he circulated the power throughout his body, a density of over ten could do that, and at worst he would only suffer minor injuries.
Tang Qing was curious, what would it be like in a society full of handsome men and beautiful women? Would there be people so good-looking that the heavens and earth were jealous of them?
Damn, I’m daydreaming again.
Tang Qing didn’t answer Li Kai’s question, only giving him a smirk.
Yeah, I am that awesome.
Jealous, aren’t you?
Li Kai was exasperated but had no way out. If Tang Qing had a hairstyle, he could mess it up to let off some steam. However, Tang Qing had a buzz cut and there wasn’t much he could do. He certainly couldn’t strip him naked.
Good God, what if Feng Sen misunderstood?
"Old Tang, with your looks, you could be a model. You could probably make a lot of money, and droves of girls would fall for you," Li Kai said sourly.
"No interest, being a model is boring. I’d rather be an extra in a film," Tang Qing laughed.
Life is about experiencing, filling memories with beautiful things, finding meaning in life. So, there were many things Tang Qing wanted to try. For example, being an extra in a film, being a street artist, playing with penguins in the Antarctic, having a go with a polar bear, trekking through the Sahara Desert, discovering unknown treasures and so on. There were so many things, just waiting for a chance to make them happen.
"Extra? What do you want to play?" Li Kai asked, curious.
"A rich second-generation kid," Tang Qing replied matter-of-factly.
"...Shameless," Li Kai uttered these three words.
"Well, I’ll play a rich first-generation man then."
"..."
The morning passed in the banter between the two.
After breakfast.
Tang Qing and his party started their day’s journey.
It was a day tour of his uncle’s company.
Stepping off the car.
What they saw was an eight-story office building, considered a ’high-rise’ in Bangkok. The whole building belonged to his uncle’s company, displaying signage in both Chinese and Thai on either side of the building’s front. In the center was a large group ’LOGO’.
’Kaihua Jewelry Group’
Six large golden Chinese characters.
"Tangtang, this is my company." Tang Kai introduced proudly.
Tang Qing nodded, saying, "Not bad, the first floor is a store."
"This is the company’s flagship store, inside are the company’s highest-end and most expensive jewelry. Come, I’ll take you inside to have a look," Tang Kai said.
"Sure."
After that,
Tang Kai led Tang Qing and the others inside.
This flagship store is more than three hundred square meters, quite large, with strong security. At the door alone, there are at least eight muscular bodyguards, definitely not your average security guards. Inside, the security force is no less substantial.
The total market value of what’s inside is several billions, so no mishaps can be allowed to happen. Fortunately, the recent security status of Bangkok has been surprisingly good, especially in this area, which is under the direct control of the fighters. Thieves have been stamped out, let alone ’big thieves’. Those who enter this territory will be taken in for a ’little talk’.
"Good morning, Chairman." The manager of the flagship store respectfully greeted his chairman as he came in.
"Hmm, go ahead with your work. I’ll look around on my own," Tang Kai waved his hand and said.
"Yes."
The manager tactfully left, understanding that these were all the group’s items, Tang Kai obviously didn’t need him to introduce anything. However, he didn’t go far, instead watching Tang Qing and the others from a distance. If they needed anything, he could rush over at the first call.
He was curious about who these people were, to warrant the company of the chairman himself.
Next,
Under Tang Kai’s lead, Tang Qing and the others briefly browsed the items in the store. This store did not carry ’low-priced’ items such as gold and silver. Instead, it offered various kinds of jade, diamonds, red, blue, and green gemstones, pearls etc. None of the items were priced under 200,000 RMB.
Tang Qing wasn’t the least bit interested in these. He was merely here for the spectacle. If he wanted these items, he could definitely weigh them by the kilograms. These items, precious to ordinary people, were nothing more than somewhat expensive stones to him.
Li Kai and Feng Sen, on the other hand, were looking around with amazed expressions.
"Jiaxue, just tell uncle what you like, and you can take it," Tang Kai said to Lin Jiaxue with a smile. As for his own nephew, well, Tang Qing was even wearing an electronic watch. Aside from his custom-made Sheng Tang Group outfit, he had no expensive accessories.
Apparently he didn’t see these ’vulgar items’ as worthy. Otherwise, with Tang Qing’s money, there was nothing he couldn’t afford.
Just as well.
Like him, Tang Kai didn’t wear much jewelry as a wholesaler, he had seen all kinds of jade and gemstones, and with his status and net worth, he had no need to show off these trinkets.
Embarrassing.
Lin Jiaxue shook her head and said, "Thank you, uncle, but I think I’ll pass. It’s not really suitable for me to wear these to school." She really wasn’t interested in these, preferring small trinkets that cost just a few dollars. Most importantly, these were quite expensive, and she feared losing them.
Tang Qing found this reasoning oddly familiar; it was what Lin Jiaxue had told him when he wanted to buy her something in the past.
"No problem, just keep them at home, you don’t have to wear them to school. Since you’re here, naturally you should pick something you like to take home. Tangtang, you can accompany Jiaxue to choose, I have to go now, I have a meeting. Once you’ve finished picking, have the manager bring you to my office to wait for me." Tang Kai looked at the time and said.
"Alright," Tang Qing said.
Once Tang Kai made up his mind, Lin Jiaxue naturally couldn’t object.
Upon receiving the order from Tang Kai, the store manager promptly came over.
"This is my own nephew and his classmates. After a while, take them around. Everyone can pick one item, just put it on my account," Tang Kai instructed.
Since Li Kai and Feng Sen were already present, it would not be right to ignore them. In addition, Li Kai’s father was Tang Qing’s business partner, and Li Kai was Tang Qing’s best friend. As for Feng Sen, he appeared to be Tang Qing’s follower, and his father held a high position. It was just a small token of goodwill to give away some items. He believed the two were not the type to intentionally choose the most expensive items.
"Yes, Chairman."
The manager looked at the nephew of the chairman, whom he had never seen before, in surprise.
After Tang Kai left,
An excited Li Kai and Feng Sen immediately began to browse around. Seeing how lavish uncle Tang Kai was over the past couple of days, he certainly would not mind these small amounts of money. However, the two of them wouldn’t be without a sense of propriety, choosing only the cheapest items in the store.
One planned to win over his sweetheart with it,
While the other planned to give it to his mother.
"Let’s go and choose something," Tang Qing took Lin Jiaxue’s hand and started to stroll around the store while the store manager introduced their items proficiently.
Eventually, Lin Jiaxue was overwhelmed by the choices. With Tang Qing’s suggestion, she chose a pair of earrings. I must say, the polished emerald earrings were breathtakingly verdant. They were water drop-shaped, with a heart-shaped border adorned with numerous small diamonds, incredibly luxurious.
The selling price was almost 600,000 RMB.
Seeing Lin Jiaxue wearing the earrings, looking stunningly beautiful, Tang Qing couldn’t help but lean in for a kiss, causing Lin Jiaxue to blush so much that she couldn’t even lift her head.
The store manager stood at a distance, smiling as he blessed the two of them. He had been with Tang Kai for over a decade. When his wife was gravely ill, it was Tang Kai who had loaned him money, which he repaid with hard work. His efforts earned him Tang Kai’s recognition, otherwise, he wouldn’t hold the position of manager in this flagship store.
To him, Tang Kai’s family was just like his own.
All is well that ends well.
Soon, Li Kai and Feng Sen also picked the cheapest items. As it was time to pack, Li Kai, now less excited, wanted to return his choice. However, Tang Qing simply pushed it back to him.
In his previous life, when things weren’t going well for Tang Qing, Li Kai had never looked down on him. In this life, this mere worldly possession was not something Tang Qing would fuss about.
