Chapter 24 Just Right

“Biological energy crystal? What is it—where did you hear it?” Yun Jingzhu was confused—no such product in her company.
“From eavesdropping on Grandma and him.” Yun Xinrui repeated everything.
“Biological energy crystal? Never heard—made for him?”
Yun Jingzhu was sure—her mother must have secretly developed it.
“Acts fast—change strategy. Tonight, after dinner, arrange to call him out when Grandma sleeps.”
In her view, he was too fast—met at noon, home by afternoon, accessing company secrets.
Too dangerous—must resolve quickly.
……….
Yun Jingzhu and daughter spent two hours cooking—a feast.
“Dinner’s ready.” They brought food to the dining room.
Yun Xinrui glanced at Yun Qingsheng—stunned.
“Mom, he looks younger—so strange.” She whispered to Yun Jingzhu, glancing at him.
“Seems younger.” Yun Jingzhu looked—disbelieving.
Impossible to age so much in hours.
“When we first met—30 – 40, haggard, weak. Now—20s, better complexion.”
“Too strange.”
Though strange, they said nothing—treated him coldly at the table.
Yun Qingsheng didn’t care—just here to be with Yun Jinxin.
After absorbing the crystal, his body recovered—needs training to reach peak.
He’d been seriously injured twice—energy deficiency left scars, lived comfortably for years—rusty.
Estimated 30% recovery—enough to handle current issues.
No more energy worries—Yun Jinxin said they mastered synthesis.
Even without armor, he could solo enemies—just more effort.
Now strong enough to contact the Ninth Bureau—equal footing.
Before, weak—would be imprisoned. Now, only nuclear weapons could kill him (if they hit).
So he wanted to contact the Ninth Bureau—ask about parasites.
After dinner, Yun Xinrui and Yun Jingzhu cleaned—Yun Qingsheng did nothing.
Initially wanting to help, Yun Jinxin stopped him—”elder, no need.” So he relaxed.
The family watched TV—harmonious.
Yun Qingsheng liked this—let down guard, lived with trusted ones.
By 9 (for Yun Jinxin’s age), they slept.
He went to the third – floor bedroom—energy – sufficient, sleep optional.
He turned on the computer, learning quickly—searching parasite info.
Strange—little info, seemingly hidden.
When he saw the “Gate,” he thought it was to protect civilians, prevent escapes.
Now—suspected secrets.
Online info was vague, blurry—listed as legends.
No solid evidence—parasites might be rare, manageable.
ZF hid it to avoid panic—short – term correct, but long – term bad.
With current tech, a few more giant beasts/evolvers would doom the world.
Civilians unprepared, military unable to suppress—panic, spread.
He thought of a bizarre thing—”just right.”
His world: global plague, 10 million elites survived.
This world: tech backward (thermal weapons, no energy weapons), parasite numbers “just right” (controllable).
A few more giant beasts in busy areas—no kill in time, snowball effect—millions infected, beyond tech.
But none—”just right” at the pressure line.
Yun Qingsheng broke into a cold sweat—thinking of Multiverse,high – dimensional spaces, disasters.
Is this world simple? Were they lab rats?
If so, how to define existence? If not, explain “coincidences.”
Only Lin Moyan could help—key to “coincidences” was parasites.
Need to solve: parasite composition, mutation cause, origin, purpose.
Questions unanswered in his world—war redirected resources to the Embryo Project.
Survival first—no time for others.
Now, war Controllable —he believed his knowledge would make the Ninth Bureau cooperate.
With power and resources, he’d restart research—uncover the truth!!!
