Master of the Stars-Chapter 360: Sibling Seizure (Part 2/3)

Chapter 360: Sibling Seizure (Part 2/3)

Translator: Strivon

Luo Nan was slightly startled. His attention deviated as he went to look, and it turned out that he didn't take the common commands course for nothing. He was immediately able to discern the meaning of the series of gestures.

"You can use the time from tonight until tomorrow's B time slot, before handover occurs."

The B time slot spanned from 5:00 to 7:00 in the morning. It was the period of time between when Luo Nan woke up and when Luo Nan started class. During this time, he would perform his morning exercises and eat breakfast.

Driver Qin's intentions were very clear. He was suggesting that Luo Nan use this time period to handle the matter. In any case, from night until morning, it was their team on shift. It was easy for them to do a last-minute change in tasking.

Luo Nan's mind stirred. Tomorrow morning was unacceptable. His aunt's house was located on the eastern side of the Nade District. He would have to go through half of Xia City to get to the River Wu District from there. There wasn't enough time.

As for where they were currently, they haven't even left the River Wu District. They could make it to Luo Nan's apartment in ten minutes if they changed directions right now. The drug equipment was of most importance over at the Blue Bay Community. He would dump the raw materials into a portable cooler, take the cooler and his grandfather's notebook, then leave.

As for cleaning up…. Well, screw her!

Luo Nan's thoughts arrived at this point, and he switched his tone. "How about this, sis? We can pick up the pace. I just so happen to be in the River Wu District. We don't need to wait until tomorrow. Right now I will go there as fast as possible. I'll take whatever needs taking. Then you have your good friend take over from there. I'll give her an hour."

"Yeah, this is fine. I'll ask her."

As soon as Luo Nan's thoughts started running, his mind became quite agile. He continued amending the plan, "It's okay if she doesn't come over tonight. I'll change the security door to take in a secret key, which I'll give to you later. You can be the middleman, and everything will be okay."

"Excellent," said Mo Ya in rarely heard praise. "Though you've been to the hospital more than Acumen College, your brain capacity has seen growth. Do you know what this means?"

"...GTFO!"

Luo Nan hung up the call without a trace of politeness, but it was unavoidable for him to be a bit embarrassed. He gave Driver Qin a nod and expressed his thanks, "Brother Win, I owe you for today."

Driver Qin laughed, speaking for the first time tonight, "Then where to next?"

"The Blue Bay Community."

It only took them ten minutes, in line with Luo Nan's estimation. The security car sped into the parking lot of Blue Bay Community, and Driver Qin was scrupulous in his bodyguard duties. He got off the car to walk together with Luo Nan.

Accidents didn't occur too much in this world. At least, tonight was very normal. Two minutes passed, and Luo Nan returned to his small nest that he had left over a month ago. This was the only real estate property that was under his name. He had inherited it from his father, whose trail was unknown.

Mo Ya's so-called cleaning party was an exaggeration. There was an AI housekeeper keeping watch. A month had passed, and although Luo Nan didn't dare say that the apartment was untainted by even a speck of dust, he considered the place to be quite clean and tidy. There wasn't even the smell of a human.

Mo Ya called him again as he went up the stairs. Her good friend unfortunately couldn't make it, so it was fine for Luo Nan to use the secret key method he talked about before.

Since things were like this, Luo Nan wasn't going to stay too long in this place. He simply walked straight to the study as soon as he entered the door. He took out the crucial items.

The black suitcase atop the desk, the portable cooler in the bookcase, as well as the leather notebook hidden in the secret drawer.

The drug synthesis equipment and raw materials were destined to be dealt with sooner or later. Luo Nan didn't really care, but when he saw the raw materials, he suddenly recalled that of these two items, at least half belonged to Mo Ya.

It was very difficult for Luo Nan to engage in drug research, even if his grandfather had left behind educational funds as a foundation. Luo Nan had been young at the time, merely hitting ten years old. Over the course of five years, Mo Ya had provided him with financial aid. This was the number one reason why was he ultimately able to persevere down this path.

Mo Ya was right. He really owed her far too many favors.

But he thought of today's matter. It didn't even count as a favor. When was the last time a favor was asked between this brother and sister? Luo Nan felt unbearable with the most essential problem; he was growing further and further away from his normal family life.

Luo Nan chuckled. He wanted to lift up the suitcase and the cooler, but Driver Qin had rushed to do it for him. His physique was healthy and heroic. He carried the two boxes like he was pinching two rice straws.

"Thank you, Brother Qin." Luo Nan felt slightly embarrassed. He had tried to take the two items back to no avail, leaving him to rely on Brother Qin.

He took the most important item of all, the leather notebook, into his hands, placing it with his loose-leaf notebook. He looked around the room, then easily covered the space with his mental senses. He confirmed that he didn't miss anything, and the two exited the apartment and went down the stairs. He didn't forget to set up the secret key to the door, sending Mo Ya the digital key upon generation.

Sending the secret key was easy. It was done in a few minutes. They entered the elevator by the time it was done, and Luo Nan let out a breath of relief. Finally, a matter was resolved. As for what Mo Ya and her good friend would do next, it had nothing to do with him.

Driver Qin maintained his silence as the elevator went down. He didn't do anything and the space was narrow, making the atmosphere a bit awkward. Luo Nan simply thumbed through his grandfather's notebook, looking at the familiar and complex molecular formulas, as well as the handwriting that was either neatly or slovenly done.

He had already gotten started with Formatting Theory, and he had a foundation with internal refinement. The Body Gear and the God Gear coupled in interaction, while his soul strength continued its violent and uncontrollable growth. His awareness toward his mind and body far exceeded that from before. He would look at the contents of this notebook later, with all these things as a foundation. Even if he would find things hard to comprehend, his level, angle, and way of thought were greatly richer than before.

He could probably get a general understanding of his grandfather's thought process. It seemed like these notes were talking about how to use molecular targeting drugs to realize an activation with specific neurons. This realized self-growth and differentiation, reconstructing or strengthening neural circuits, thereby affecting the development of the body's organs and ultimately forming the Self-Format.

But this notebook's contents were merely the records of experiments in the end. The pertinent theory was scattered and messy throughout the notebook. It was impossible to form a whole system no matter how many times he tidied the information up. The most intact depiction of the theory was the figure and words atop the title page.

Luo Nan flipped to the title page. He saw the properly hand-drawn figure and the messy handwriting.

A tetrahedron, an inscribed sphere, and an outer-scribed sphere formed the visualization diagram. This diagram had already fused into his soul. There was also the twenty-word mantra, "My heart’s a prison. My heart’s a furnace. My heart calls for a lens. My heart calls for the nation." This mantra existed alongside his breathing from beginning to end.

Luo Nan had reached this step, but he was still far away from reaching a true understanding of Formatting Theory. He was incapable of ascertaining the image and significance that Formatting Theory, as well as this figure and these words, that his grandfather, his mother, and that person had in their eyes.

However, a thought suddenly formed in his mind: The way I currently view the world with clairvoyance is far different than how normal people view the world. It is reasonable to say that my grandfather and them should have been the same as well. It should be close, at the very least. I didn't possess this skill before. Maybe, I should start from this angle and follow the contents of the notebook once more?

Luo Nan squeezed the pages as he thought deeply to himself. A cough came from the person next to him, and he suddenly snapped back to reality. Only then did he discover that the elevator had stopped moving. The floor indicator light showed that they were on the underground 2nd floor, the parking lot. The metal doors were closing straight ahead.... Most importantly, there was a couple standing outside the elevator. They should have just finished with shopping, for they were carrying large and small bags of stuff. They were looking at him dazedly.
