Chapter 73: Evolution Result

After spending the whole night studying on the computer, Xiang Kun was preparing to go for a walk in the street for some sensory training.

His phone suddenly rang, and, to his surprise, Officer Chen’s name was the one displayed on the incoming call.

“Could it be something new about the case of the human trafficker?” Xiang Kun speculated on the purpose of Officer Chen’s call, and answered the phone. However, when Officer Chen explained the purpose of his call, Xiang Kun was somewhat surprised. It was the families of the children rescued from the human trafficker who wanted to express their gratitude in a financial way.

“The children’s families initially wanted to thank you in person. However, as you told our colleagues that you wouldn’t like your information to be leaked in the event of an interview with the press, not wanting to be disturbed, they didn’t visit casually, they are consulting you through me first…”

“Er, we were at the right place at the right time, and managed to do a good deed…” Xiang Kun still maintained his modesty and disguise, after all, he had told the police at the branch that he didn’t know the people in the car in front were human traffickers.

Officer Chen said: “Yes, I know. You just happened to have a collision with their car. In fact, the police in the neighboring province had already found out who was the kidnapper, had identified those people, had located their license plate number and knew they were in our city. Even without the clash with you, they would have been captured soon.”

Xiang Kun listened silently.

Deep down, Xiang Kun was a bit helpless. If only his overnight “patrol” video hadn’t been seen by Officer Chen, leading him to mistakenly believe he wanted to be a “voluntary policeman” or a “superhero”. Otherwise, when he had encountered incidents, didn’t he always call the police first? He really did not have the slightest intention of being a “superhero” fighting for justice.

Over the phone, Officer Chen continued: “… But it really is because of you that the two children were rescued safely in advance, and all the criminals were caught. If you agree, I’ll give them the bank card number you left before. If you really don’t want to accept the money, they can also donate it in your name…”

“Give them the card number.” Xiang Kun interrupted Officer Chen quite decisively.

Although he didn’t think of gaining anything when he dealt with the human traffickers, if the parents of those children sincerely want to thank him with money, he wouldn’t mind accepting it. He was in need of money right now — being unemployed and “ill” as he was — even if it was just several hundred or a few thousand, it would be an excellent supplement.

Moreover, this reward is something the parents of the rescued children have proposed voluntarily. He believed it would be an amount they could easily afford.

Officer Chen on the other end of the phone, didn’t find it strange at all. After a brief pause, he responded with an “okay.”

Xiang Kun then said, “I will forward their thanks to my three friends.” This meant he would divide the reward money among the other three. After all, strictly speaking, they were all four in the car when the incident happened.

But Officer Chen said: “No need, the families of the children have already thanked the other three girls. This money is intended for you alone.”

Xiang Kun was slightly stunned but didn’t say anything else. After speaking for a little longer with Officer Chen, he ended the call.

Speaking of which, Officer Chen also gave him money the last time he called.

Officer Chen is certainly my lucky charm!

About ten minutes later, his phone beeped. Xiang Kun looked at it to see a bank deposit notification.

But upon seeing the amount, he was taken aback, thinking he had misread. He logged into his online banking to check his balance and transaction details, and finally confirmed that he was not mistaken.

The just transferred amount was a whopping 200,000?!

The children’s families had given him “financial thank you” of 200,000 yuan?

Moreover, Officer Chen said that the families of the children had already thanked Tang Baona and the other two. If each person received 200,000, wouldn’t they have given out 800,000 for eight people in total?

Big spenders…

He suddenly remembered Officer Chen’s earlier remark that the families of the kids already knew his address and didn’t visit casually because they knew from his communication with their colleagues at the branch that he did not wish to be disturbed. This meant they already knew his address, and it wasn’t Officer Chen who revealed it.

Recalling Officer Chen’s account of the swift reaction of the neighboring province’s police, it seemed the two children’s family backgrounds were quite extraordinary, huh?

But if so, how were they kidnapped by the human traffickers in the first place?

Maybe those four guys were not human traffickers. Could there be other circumstances?

Xiang Kun didn’t bother to think too much. The child was already safe, and the ins and outs of the matter didn’t have much to do with him.

Having that 200,000 in hand shouldn’t pose any hidden threats.

At 7.22 p.m. on August 29, Xiang Kun once again felt the sensation of hunger.

Just like before, he drank the blood from two rabbits and then went to bed.

He woke up at 8:50 p.m. the next day, having slept within the normal range.

After waking up, he didn’t immediately get up. Instead, he shut his eyes to perceive the tissue paper, named “Tissue 2”, which he had stared at for 38 minutes after the last Blood-drinking Period.

Before the previous Blood-drinking Period, on a whim, Xiang Kun tried to practice Telekinesis, so he stared at a tissue paper for 16 hours. Although he didn’t acquire the ability to manipulate objects from afar, after the last Blood-drinking Period, he suddenly could sense the tissue paper from a distance, wherever it was.

He referred to that tissue paper as “Tissue 1”. Still, after conducting several experiments, it had turned into ashes, and the sensing had also disappeared.

However, he had observed another paper, “Tissue 2”. Although he only observed it for 38 minutes, he had noticed the same brief flash of white light that had happened while watching “Tissue 1”.

At that time, he guessed that the short flash could be a signal of some sort of observation effect, so he put “Tissue 2” away to test and confirm after the next Blood-drinking Period.

Now, laying in bed with his eyes closed, Xiang Kun sensed the “Tissue 2” that he had stored in the kitchen cabinet, tightly wrapped in several preservation bags.

It seems the brief flash of white light indeed signaled that his observation had achieved some effect.

However, compared to “Tissue 1”, his perception of “Tissue 2” was noticeably more vague and weaker.

It probably had something to do with the difference in observation levels of “Tissue 1” and “Tissue 2”. After all, he had observed “Tissue 1” for a good 16 hours, during which he experienced the flicker of white light four times.

Xiang Kun went to the kitchen to take out “Tissue 2”. He planned to conduct two experiments on “Tissue 2” during this Blood-drinking Period:

He would send “Tissue 2” to the furthest city from his own within the country, using an incorrect address and recipient information. Then he would contact the courier company to return it. This was to test the distance within which he could sense “Tissue 2”.

No matter what he was doing, as soon as he was free or thought about it, he would sense “Tissue 2” and time how long the perception lasted. He planned to record if continuous sensing would consume this sensing and locating ability.

Of course, these were things to do after dawn. For now, he quickly went through his standard procedure after waking up from each Blood-drinking Period, recording and analyzing his body’s various information.

To measure the improvement in his ability to read, memorize, think and understand during the last Blood-drinking Period, he sat at his computer and examined a few books.

After spending ten minutes reading a new book on genetic mutations, Xiang Kun could visibly note that his reading speed had increased by at least a third compared to before. Moreover, his memory seemed to be quicker and easier to access.

But he found that as soon as he concentrated fully on reading, his muscles would unconsciously tense up. His body seemed to be in a state of alert and combat, with his senses firing on all cylinders. His brain was almost subconsciously collecting various sounds and smells from his surroundings.

After a bit of thought, Xiang Kun understood why he was in this state. It seemed to be the result of his previous attempts to speed up his reading and memory skills by stabbing his thigh…

He wasn’t able to coerce his body into understanding that it needed to read and remember quickly to escape danger and damage. Instead of advancing his cerebral evolution, his body had developed a perception that serious reading could potentially lead to attack and injury, evolving an instinct to stay alert while concentrating on reading.

This left Xiang Kun unsure whether to laugh or cry.
