Chapter 535: Enlightenment and Foundation Building

"...I don't understand what you mean."

Qi Tengyi's expression froze. After a long silence, he showed the faint smile on his face again: "What do you mean I am not Chu Xuan's shadow? Between Chu Xuan and me..."

"It means that you don't need to spend an A-level branch plot to exchange for an auxiliary type of superpower for Chu Xuan's experiment or research... Especially the effect of Weiyuan matter, which has a large overlap with the effect of fantasy materialization."

Yang Yun's words attracted everyone's attention, and as another protagonist whose name was mentioned, Chu Xuan just stood there quietly without saying a word.

Yang Yun looked at Qi Tengyi, and he clearly saw the shock in the eyes of this young man. Similarly, he also knew that Qi Tengyi had irreplaceable importance in the Zhongzhou team.

This is actually not a secret, because in the original world line, Zheng Zha originally wanted to revive the young man who died in the Mummy, but Chu Xuan took the job first. After resurrecting Qi Tengyi, Chu Xuan also showed great interest in him, and even made him, who was obviously a non-combatant, his exclusive assistant, specifically translating the ancient texts and secrets found from various worlds for him...

In today's Zhongzhou team, Qi Tengyi's importance has obviously reached a higher level. Although he has always been a "non-combatant" in the Zhongzhou team and has basically never shown his actual combat ability, everyone who knows him will not underestimate this young man who has always been like a researcher rather than a combatant. He is not only the person who has the deepest understanding of orthodox cultivation in the entire Zhongzhou team, but also showed a beautiful array attainment in Resident Evil 2 and killed a member of the Demon Team.

——Qi Tengyi's strength is by no means a weak one even in today's Zhongzhou team.

——But at this time, he would rather spend an A-level branch plot on logistics to exchange for the auxiliary type of "Weiyuan Matter", which is mostly used in the manufacture of materials.

To be fair, Yang Yun knew why Qi Tengyi chose this exchange, and he also understood the choice Qi Tengyi made, but he could not accept it. Because making this choice is tantamount to choosing to escape, to actively limit his future, and to let his talents and skills shine in the second-line logistics of the Zhongzhou team.

"It's not that I exchanged it specifically for research."

Facing Yang Yun's burning eyes, Qi Tengyi waved his hand and moved his eyes away in embarrassment. He whispered: "The unearthed material itself is a powerful superpower. It is not only convenient in research, but also can play a great role in combat..."

"But you just defined yourself as a logistics staff." Yang Yun said bluntly: "Are you really willing, or willing to be a logistics staff? Even after seeing what cultivation can do?"

"..."

Qi Tengyi's defense came to an abrupt end in front of the second fact pointed out by Yang Yun. It seemed that he was asked to the point. The half-bald young man began to show the uneasy expression when he first entered the main god space.

If Zheng Zha was the captain of the Zhongzhou team, he would probably not pay attention to Qi Tengyi's subtle psychological changes, nor would he know what Qi Tengyi could do and what he should do. Perhaps Qi Tengyi, who was resurrected after the Lord of the Rings, was just an insignificant little transparent person in the Zhongzhou team, missing a series of training opportunities, and ultimately only existed as a logistics staff, translation expert, and human optical brain. But now Qi Tengyi is the only orthodox cultivator in the Zhongzhou team.

——He should not waste his potential.

"People change."

Yang Yun stepped forward and spoke his mind: "Perhaps at the beginning, your past experiences, your unconfident personality, and your limited wallet forced you to choose a wizard bloodline that could only be strengthened to level B. But a bloodline that cannot be further strengthened is not a problem at all, and you don't have to live like this."

"The past is wealth, not a shackle that restricts you; your language talent is not something that makes you hate it."

Looking at Yang Yun's eyes, Qi Tengyi's throat moved. He seemed to want to say something, but the words turned into a few short words: "... I didn't hate it."

Anyone could hear that his words were not sincere, and Qi Tengyi himself knew that he could not deceive Zhan Lan's mental power, Yang Yun's insight, and even more so himself. Because in countless tossing and turning nights, in addition to hating why he was so easily hooked and tied to the pirate ship, he also hated his language talent... If he didn't have this talent at the beginning, would he be able to live an ordinary life and not get involved in those countless storms?

"Then let me ask you." Yang Yun stared at Qi Tengyi's evasive gaze and whispered, "Do you like what you are doing now?"

Yang Yun looked at Qi Tengyi, as if he saw himself before Resident Evil 2, the same confusion, the same lack of confidence. But the difference is that he had a moment of enlightenment at that time, while Qi Tengyi was still wandering in the memories of the past, and subconsciously chose to rely on the strength of his teammates.

"Qi Tengyi, you are a teammate who has fought side by side with us in five worlds."

Yang Yun suddenly called out his name seriously: "And Chu Xuan has only experienced four worlds, not even as many as you... In this case, there is no need for you to become a satellite orbiting Chu Xuan's planet."

The moment Yang Yun said these words, several shocked eyes fell on him.

Everyone knows that the importance of Chu Xuan in the Central Continent team can be said to be self-evident, whether he is a veteran who joined the Central Continent team during the time of Alien and Grudge, or whether he joined the Central Continent team late but has become a veteran in the real world. Cheng Xiao, who worked under Chu Xuan, knew what kind of wisdom this seemingly ordinary man had. Because of their understanding, they were even more surprised as to why Yang Yun suddenly said these words - and in front of Chu Xuan.

Even Qi Tengyi blinked in surprise at Yang Yun's words. After a long time, he said in a slightly trembling tone: "I don't understand what you mean, Yang Yun..."

"The meaning is very simple. You are by no means the kind of weak person who can only shine by studying runes in the research room and need to rely on the existence of others to survive, but a strong person with his own independent personality who fights side by side with us. You are here We have come a long way on the path of cultivation, and when it comes to formations, even Chu Xuan and I have to contend."

Yang Yun slowed down his voice: "You can also shine with your own light. Believe in yourself. You have the potential... you just lack a little confidence, that's all."

With that said, Yang Yun patted Qi Tengyi on the shoulder, and the true energy contained in his hand also made Qi Tengyi tremble all over. The young man felt a strange change in the energy in his body, as if he was awakening from a big dream: "This, this is -"

"You have perfected your Qi training, your mind is stable, your thinking is clear, and you are completely free of confusion... Congratulations, you are on track to build a foundation."

Yang Yun smiled and said a familiar line: "So, do you still plan to exchange for unyielding matter?"

"No."

Qi Tengyi seemed to be a different person. He felt that although the true energy in his body was not as pure as Yang Yun's, it was the same in origin. He shook his head firmly: "I want to exchange this."

With that said, he didn't wait for Yang Yun to respond, and directly contacted the main god, and found the exchange that he had taken a fancy to a long time ago, an exchange that he only dared to wait and see from afar, and one that he thought he would have to wait until a long, long time before he could use it. The exchange arrived——

"Mother box."

The next moment, a small red box fell into his hands.
