Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 178 The 178th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"what is this?"

As Li Xingyu uttered his questioning and shocked words, everyone crowded around to examine the beads in his hand.

Li Xingyu carefully examined the small bead in her hand and found that it was still semi-transparent, somewhat like it was made of glass.

"Little Feather, can I and Tian Shu take a look?" Xinghe looked at the bead in Li Xingyu's hand, exchanged a glance with Tian Shu, nodded to each other, and then asked Li Xingyu if she could take a closer look.

Li Xingyu did not agree immediately, but looked at Qingqi with a questioning gaze.

After all, they made this little bead together, and they needed to ask for Xinghe's opinion before showing it to him and the others.

Qingqi, who had been looking at the beads in Li Xingyu's hand with curiosity, turned back to look when she noticed his gaze.

Looking at the questioning expression on Li Xingyu's face with some confusion, Qingqi paused for a second before realizing that she was asking for her opinion. She smiled and nodded gently.

Having received Qingqi's instruction, Li Xingyu handed the pretty little beads to Xinghe and Tianshu respectively.

After all, Xinghe and Tianshu were the most knowledgeable people present. Li Xingyu and Qingqi were also quite curious about this strange but beautiful little bead.

Why is this little bead considered strange?

Because it simultaneously emitted the mental energy fluctuations of Li Xingyu and the ability fluctuations of Qingqi.

Up to this point, Li Xingyu still doesn't know that such a thing as interstellar space exists.

Xinghe and Tianshu watched the exchange between Li Xingyu and Qingqi, pretending not to see it. After all, it belonged to the two of them, which was normal.

The two first placed a handkerchief in their hands before taking the small beads from Li Xingyu's hand.

Xinghe and Tianshu originally intended to wear experimental gloves, but neither of them put such items in their storage space.

After all, Xinghe and Tianshu weren't researchers, and the gloves in their storage space had different uses, mostly for fighting and isolating themselves from dangerous items, so wearing them now wasn't appropriate.

Seeing Xinghe and Tianshu's cautious demeanor, Li Xingyu became even more puzzled and curious.

Xinghe held the bead in one hand with a handkerchief, and placed the other hand on top of the bead. Her hand was covered with a very light blue color, which did not directly touch the bead, but rather emitted a faint light above it.

The scene on Tian Shu's side was no different from that on Xing He's side, except that the light covering his hands was the same amber color as his pupils.

The others looked at Xinghe and Tianshu with a mixture of admiration, anticipation, and curiosity.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Xinghe withdrew the power covering his hands, exchanged a glance with Tian Shu, who had also lowered his hands at the same time, and the two nodded to each other.

"Hmm... If the test shows no problems, then Xiao Yumo and Qingqi are also Chosen Ones. This is an energy ball that you two created together." Xinghe explained to everyone while handing the small bead to Li Xingyu.

"This energy ball stores both Xiaoxing's mental energy fluctuations and a portion of Qingqi's abilities. Both the mental energy fluctuations and abilities inside are usable." Tian Shu returned the small bead in his hand to Li Xingyu and continued Xinghe's words.

"Is that so? In other words, its essence is no different from a spiritual energy condensation, but it has more uses and is more difficult to manufacture?" Li Xingyu took the small bead handed to her by the two and summarized Xinghe and Tian Shu's conclusions based on her understanding.

"Well, that's generally the case, but... Little Star, why aren't you surprised at all? Qingqi and you are the chosen ones, that's true?" Tian Shu listened to Li Xingyu's simple and straightforward summary, thought for a moment, and then expressed his affirmation, and was surprised by Li Xingyu's reaction.

"Huh? About the Chosen One?" Li Xingyu looked at everyone's surprised and puzzled expressions. "I knew it the moment I saw him, not just Qiqi, but all of you?"

Seeing Li Xingyu's puzzled expression, everyone present except Li Xingyu looked completely bewildered.

“All…all of them?” Elnis’s trembling voice contained complex emotions, and he even stuttered.

The others weren't much better off, with Xinghe, Tian Shu, and Li Yue displaying particularly complicated expressions.

"Well, because I couldn't sense any fluctuations in my abilities before I awakened, and I didn't know about it until I confirmed that Xinghe and I were the chosen ones."

After confirming that Xinghe was the chosen one, I did some research on related information and also asked my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother some questions.

Then I roughly understood some of the feelings that women would have after meeting the Chosen One.

Yes, the messages I sensed from you were the same as those I sensed from Xinghe, but there were also some differences.

Although it's a little complicated to explain in words now, the general idea is like this. After finishing the two round little beads in his hand, Li Xingyu marveled in his heart at how his mental energy fluctuations worked, while explaining to Xinghe and the others.

Xinghe and the others listened to Li Xingyu's words with a dazed expression.

However, everyone quickly realized that their courses did contain knowledge and information about the Chosen Ones.

The people present were not academically weak or had poor memories; in fact, they were all excellent students and quickly connected the information with the relevant knowledge they had learned.

"Huh?! Little Feather, in that case, can we make such an energy ball with you?" Tanuki Moon was the first to react and immediately shifted her attention.

For Li Yue, now that he and Li Xingyu have established a relationship, whether or not he is the Chosen One is no longer so important. Therefore, he was able to react quickly and was attracted by the small bead in Li Xingyu's hand.

"Well, in theory... it is indeed possible, but I don't know how I managed to do it with Qingqi just now." Li Xingyu's attention was immediately diverted by Li Yue, and she thought about it seriously before answering his question.

"Would you like to try it with me, little feather?" Yufinal joined in Li Xingyu and Li Yue's conversation, his face full of excitement and eagerness.

The others who gradually came to their senses listened to the conversation between the three, finding it both funny and exasperating. They then promptly put aside their thoughts and began to get restless.

A group of children, the oldest just turned 18 and the youngest just awakening, were full of curiosity and energy for new things. Not to mention that they were actively participating themselves, and the ten of them immediately got moving.

Even the shy and timid Li Yue, the proud and elegant Cain, the reserved and restrained Qing Qi, and the aloof and indifferent Michael all looked excited and eager to try.

Li Xingyu and the others had completely forgotten about the fried chicken and didn't even realize that there were still four batches left to fry.

Fortunately, the fried food was placed within the time-stopping device's range, so there was no need to worry about it getting cold and not tasting good.

Then Li Xingyu and his group collected a large number of small beads of different colors but of very standard size.

As they played, they started experimenting and discovered that as long as Li Xingyu participated, they could integrate many different abilities. They then began to mix and match them freely and even discussed which colors would look better together.

Because none of the ten people present were the same color:

Li Xingyu's was pure gold with a hint of silver.

The Milky Way is a pale blue that is almost white;

The color of Tian Shu is amber, like honey;

Li Yue's ears were a light pink, the same color as his ears;

Euphemia's is a pinkish-purple, like that of a magic thorn fruit tree;

It was a clear, deep blue, like the vast ocean.

Cain's blood was a deep crimson, like fresh blood.

Qingqi's green is a vibrant, life-giving emerald green;

Michael's color is a golden-orange, like a burning flame;

Elnis's is a dark purple mixed with specks of gold.

Therefore, there are many possibilities for pairing them up, so many that Li Xingyu and the others are having a great time.

The viewers in Li Xingyu's live stream just watched helplessly as the food live stream turned into... well... something else entirely.

Those who are destined for greatness also know this, or rather, those who have been to school know this.

But what is that little bead? Why did General Xinghe and Tian Shu intelligence officer say it contained god-level mental energy fluctuations and god-level abilities?

and……

Those who knew the details felt a pang of unease watching Li Xingyu and his friends having so much fun.

Why could Lord Xingyu/Your Highness create energy balls so easily?

Why can the energy spheres they make contain so many different abilities?

Why……?

Yes, that's right. Li Xingyu and the others were having so much fun that they didn't realize they were being streamed live.

Even if they find out, they probably won't have much of a reaction other than feeling a little embarrassed. After all, Li Xingyu's live stream is about recording life, isn't that life?

Ahem, I've gone too far, come back.

"Gululu~"

A strange sound drew Xinghe and the others' attention back from their fun.

"It's getting late, and I'm hungry." Li Xingyu rubbed her protesting stomach and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Ah~ Sorry, we forgot the time. Let's pause making the energy ball for now and finish making dinner first. We'll talk about it after we eat." Xinghe handed the energy ball to Li Xingyu and patted her head apologetically.

"It's okay, I was having too much fun too, it's not Xinghe's fault. Let's get dinner ready first, and then we can talk about other things." Li Xingyu took the energy ball that Xinghe handed her and put it in a small bamboo box next to her.

This little box was given to Li Xingyu by Li Yuanyou and Cassie when they went to the bamboo forest to find Congqian and Xiaoqing.

There were too many energy balls, and they would easily roll away if left on the table, so Li Xingyu took out a small bamboo box from her spatial storage to store them.

The others also put the energy balls in their hands into the small box next to Li Xingyu. Soon, the 20cm x 10cm x 10cm box was two-thirds full.

Xinghe and the others washed and dried their hands and went back to frying chicken. After Qingqi put the energy ball into the small box, she stood next to Li Xingyu and watched her unconsciously fiddle with the energy ball in the box.

While unconsciously rummaging through the energy balls in the box, Li Xingyu pondered what to do with so many energy balls.

"Hmm... Qingqi, what do you think about using these energy balls to make bracelets?" Li Xingyu picked up a colorful energy ball, held it up to reflect the light in front of her eyes, and talked to Qingqi.

The energy ball itself was translucent, and with the light reflected off it, Li Xingyu felt as if she were seeing a colorful nebula, dreamlike and beautiful.

"Huh? Sure, but these are all solid balls formed from Xingyu's spiritual power and our abilities. How do we drill holes in them?" Qingqi didn't react at first, but after he did, he asked a question.

“Hmm…that’s a good question, otherwise…” Upon hearing Qingqi’s words, Li Xingyu lowered the hand holding the energy ball and looked at Qingqi seriously.

Then, halfway through her sentence, Li Xingyu suddenly had a whim and released her mental energy again, intending to try out the ideas in her mind. Since she had so many anyway, and the energy ball had no consciousness, she could think of other ways if that didn't work.

Li Xingyu's idea was:

Since divine-level mental power can be condensed into objects, and these energy balls contain her mental power, it might be worth trying to connect the energy balls directly using mental power.

Qingqi was unaware of Li Xingyu's thoughts. He quietly stayed beside Li Xingyu, casually playing with two energy balls of different colors in his hands.

As it turns out, Li Xingyu's idea was entirely feasible.

The only thing to consider is the distribution and direction of the colors on the surface of the energy balls. Then, you can use a rope condensed from your mental energy to string the energy balls together. This is a bit troublesome, mainly because there are just too many of them, which is too much for the eyes.

Although this operation is troublesome, it will not damage the energy or spiritual power inside the energy ball; on the contrary, it will enhance the effectiveness of the energy ball.

Seeing Li Xingyu's actions, a bunch of people in the live stream who were about to cry "Grandpa" breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the energy ball wasn't destroyed.

That is to say, Li Xingyu had just awakened and listened to advice.

While Xinghe and Tianshu were making energy balls with Li Xingyu and the others, they also explained the importance and precautions of energy balls to them.

It was obvious that Li Xingyu and Qingqi listened attentively and remembered what they had heard.

Although Xinghe and Tianshu didn't explain how to make a hole in the energy ball and string it together with a rope, we can arrive at a similar answer by reasoning in reverse based on the precautions and importance they mentioned.

Li Xingyu stopped threading the red, elastic rope, which he had condensed with his mental energy, through an energy ball and exchanged a glance with Qingqi. Then he put the threaded energy ball and rope into a small box.

The two of them hadn't forgotten that they were in the kitchen, and that dinner was just around the corner, so they decided to tidy up and get ready to eat.

Anyway, these energy balls aren't going anywhere, so we can take it slow. Right now, eating is more important.
