Chapter 256: Desperate Struggle >

oth Wan Liang and Tong Wanwan's expressions changed, and they looked at her simultaneously."I am a ripple, not a cloud. Even though I've played the role of a cloud for so long, I'm still not her. You...Xue Wenjing hung up the video call, her brows furrowed tightly. Her son had been doing well before, but now he was falling behind in every aspect. Although she felt Lian Bo hadn't told him the truth, she knew she couldn't abandon her son. Now, Lian Bo was her only bargaining chip.

Because her father died in the explosion of the General's Mansion and received a large sum of compensation, she was not in a rush to marry into the Wu family. Moreover, she couldn't even if she wanted to, because at that time Wu Lianyi disagreed with her father remarrying. As the other party was underage, this decision could restrict Wu Yishan's actions.

At that moment, she felt a pang of anxiety. If she truly couldn't marry into the Wu family, then what was the point of all those years of humility, raising her son alone, sacrificing her youth to become a single mother

Fortunately, his own son was outstanding, with superior talent compared to that incompetent person. With this advantage, everything else became easy. Wu Yishan, in order to accept his talented son, had a conversation with Wu Lianyi and made a three-year agreement.

It's just that she couldn't bear it, how could that good-for-nothing live so comfortably and have so many resources while her son had to wait another three years So she pretended to be obedient and take a step back, saying she could wait for three years, but her son couldn't.

"Lenovo has already assessed the child's potential, such excellent potential must be cultivated well and guided by their father. The past time cannot be recovered, but at least let the child grow up with their father, making up for some of the child's childhood absence."

As a result of her tears, Wu Yishan agreed to bring Lian Bo to his side earlier and promised to give him better education.

Everything was going smoothly at first, and Wu Lianyi even left the Wu family directly because of Wu Yishan's decision to rely on his maternal grandfather, the Du family.

At this time, something happened at the General's Mansion. Her father, who she depended on, also passed away. She was heartbroken and filled with resentment in her heart. She was just one step short. Why didn't Wu Lian die instead!

Upon learning that Wu Lian's temper was big enough to abandon her surname, this was good news for both her and her son. They hoped the father and son would fall out completely so that their son would become the sole heir to the Wu family.

Unfortunately, it was later revealed that Wu Lianyi's original aptitude test had been inaccurate. After retesting, her aptitude proved to be no less than her son's, and even surpassed his in some areas. This realization brought a sense of crisis to both her and her son.

Things have developed to the point where she and her son feel like a joke. They were about to get what they wanted, but then they watched it slip through their fingers. How could they possibly be okay with this

After figuring things out, Xue Wenjing used her smart brain to log into an underground trading website. There you could find anything you needed, as long as your star coins were sufficient.

Ripples didn't know that after she destroyed the system, she instead fueled Xue Wenjing and her son's resentment. They began to think of ways to remedy it, and that so-called secondary gene potential activation serum wasn't a good thing at all.

Although this potion can stimulate potential a second time, it also has side effects. After stimulating potential, mental power and ancient martial arts levels will remain at the current level, and lifespan will be shortened. In short, it is through overdrafting future promotion space to improve the current level.

And this is currently the best way for Wu Lianbo to protect himself, he must maintain his position in the Wu family.

After much effort, Xue Wenjing bought the medicine at a high price and then, under the pretense of visiting her son, went to Wu's house to see Wu Lianbo. She handed him the second-time gene activation medicine and secretly instructed him:

After taking the potion, you must remain conscious. The longer you stay awake, the better the effect will be. If you faint midway, the potion's power will be reduced.

"I remembered! Mother is still the best to me!"

Wu Lianbo coquettishly said.

"You are my son, I don't treat you well, I treat anyone well! You are my future reliance."

Xue Wenjing gave Wu Lianbo a reproachful glance, said two words, and then hurriedly left.

That night, under the assistance of ZhiNao, Wu Lianbo consumed a second dose of gene-activating fluid. To stay awake, he bit his lips and scratched his palms raw. In the end, he succeeded. His mental power barely reached S-grade, and his ancient martial arts level recovered to the fourth rank, temporarily stabilizing his condition.

But over the next year, no matter how hard he trained, his ancient martial arts level didn't improve. When he entered his second year, Wu Lianyi also advanced a level. However, since his class was Class A, from the fourth year onwards, he had been assigned practical tasks.

The ripples class had twenty people. Their first mission this semester was to deliver supplies to the orbital satellite of Blue Star and assist the stationed mecha soldiers in inspecting and maintaining their used mechs, ensuring a zero fault rate. At least during combat, the mechs should not suffer damage caused by inadequate maintenance, except for battle damage.

After all, it was their first mission. Although the danger level was zero, Teacher Song still gave them repeated instructions and made a list for everyone to prepare their equipment according to the list. They would set off in two days.

Meanwhile, after a year of recuperation, Du Hongying officially returned to the Third Army. His return caused quite a stir, as the military doctor had previously examined his condition and determined that he was unable to control his spiritual power surges, essentially rendering him half-disabled.

After a year of being back home, her mental energy had calmed down and even increased. It was impossible to say she wasn't curious. For a while, everyone focused their attention on Du Hongying, while Ripples remained hidden, going with her comrades to a space station codenamed ZJWL.

This was everyone's first time riding the Blue Star II spaceship, and they were all excited. After all, here they were underage, at their most energetic age, so they were running around inside the ship, exploring everywhere, touching everything, not stopping for a moment.

Ripple tried to get Ian to download the spaceship blueprints, but Ian said that everything about Starbase 2 was classified and he couldn't download the blueprints. He had to give up.

After a month on Blue Star Two, just as everyone was getting restless, a voice came over the public channel of the spaceship.

"Lanxing No. 2 has successfully arrived at the ZJWL spacecraft and is currently docking with the station. Please prepare for disembarkation."

Twenty people immediately assembled at the quickest speed. Their leader, Teacher OuYang, was already waiting for them. After everyone had arrived, he immediately issued the first order:

Put on your own personal mechs, stay on the same frequency as me. We'll bring supplies for the stationed personnel, leave the ship, and form up to fly to this outpost. Got it

"Understood!"

These three words were almost shouted.

I emphasize this again, obey orders! Listen to the commands! This is not an academy, you are not here for a sightseeing trip, you are here to put your training into practice. Don't hold back the class, this counts towards your year-end grades, understand

"Got it!"

Ou Yang looked contentedly at these spirited students and nodded, motioning for them to get started.

The next second, a variety of mechs appeared beside their masters. Lian Ri's mech was purple and looked ordinary on the outside, but it was actually the fourth-generation full psychic control mech developed by Du Zi Feng inside. who was already awake. Tears welled up in her eyes immediately."Quiet! Mommy is late."Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face. Ripples' eyes also gradually moistened. She knew...
