I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: The Helplessness That Resonates

Xu Sheng cleared his throat, bringing the atmosphere back.

”The reason I called you this time is indeed important. You know, apart from giving our opinions behind the scenes, there’s not much we old folks can do.”

”Lin Yi hasn’t returned to Blue Star for a whole ten years. He must have encountered significant troubles out there. I feel we can’t let Lin Yi bear the future of Blue Star alone. We need to take action. I wonder what you and Sun Dachuan think. With you two leading, how about developing some individual planets as footholds for professionals from Blue Star?”

When speaking of this, a trace of unnoticeable sadness appeared in Nangong Ling’s beautiful eyes.

Whenever Lin Yi’s name was mentioned, Nangong Ling would react this way.

Shenxiao has had no headmaster for ten years.

Every time Nangong Ling returns to Shenxiao, the students there always ask when the mysterious academy head will come to guide them again.

The other college heads, including the principal, would also inquire.

But how could Nangong Ling know?

Nobody wants Lin Yi to struggle under the burden alone; everyone hopes to share a bit of the pressure with him.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t have that capability.

”He hasn’t given me specific instructions, nor did he provide plans for Blue Star’s future development. I think the idea is feasible. These years, we’ve often been restricted in Blue Star’s development speed due to material issues, disrupting our plans. The root cause is that leaving the planet is too troublesome.”

”Leaving the planet does pose challenges. However, opportunities and challenges coexist. Since the leaders proposed this idea, I, Nangong Ling, must support it. We can’t just expect our junior fellow to solve all the problems. I also hope to give him a surprise when he returns.”

Since Blue Star came together as one, meetings proceeded smoothly.

When everyone prioritized collective interests, proposals would often pass smoothly, without disputes or intrigue.

Just as the plan was finalized and Nangong Ling was about to form an expedition team, a powerful aura suddenly descended on the meeting site.

Yes, the owner of this strong aura was Mr. Gongsu.

As the air of presence around him dispersed, the shabbily dressed old man appeared in everyone’s sight.

Everyone curiously examined the old man before them:

What’s this old guy up to, coming out without dressing properly? What’s his plan?

”Come, everyone, take a look. Is Lin Yi even human? Look at the message he sent me. He actually told the Immortal King about my mastery of the Enhancement Skill. Gosh, he sold me out so easily.”

The message content was concise and straightforward.

In the message, Lin Yi mentioned that he informed the Immortal King about Mr. Gongsu’s abilities. The Immortal King was delighted and asked Lin Yi to bring Mr. Gongsu over to work for him.

Upon receiving this message, Mr. Gongsu exploded immediately.

He had deep-seated grievances with the Immortal King.

Indeed, it’s been many years, thousands of them. By right, Mr. Gongsu should be able to face this past, but he is still very angry.

He turned to look at Nangong Ling.

”Look, girl, is this kid even human? Over the years, I’ve been wholeheartedly working for the development of this planet. Don’t I deserve some credit? Lin Yi just turned around and sold me out. That’s my enemy who wiped out my people, and if meeting him means I can’t even seek revenge, and still have to bow to work for him, isn’t that pure torment?”

What Mr. Gongsu said was indeed true.

Over these years, he had been diligently contributing to Blue Star’s development.

He’s done right by Lin Yi and everyone on Blue Star.

Asking him to handle such a matter is indeed torturous for him.

However, everyone knew well about Lin Yi’s personality, knowing he wouldn’t backstab a companion.

There must have been his own helpless reasons for doing this.

What they could do, perhaps, was just help to comfort Mr. Gongsu on behalf of Lin Yi.

”Come, come, Mr. Gongsu, have a seat.”

Xu Sheng cheerfully welcomed Mr. Gongsu over.

”At first glance, this message is also quite infuriating to us. Lin Yi, this guy, is really something, inviting you to work for the Immortal King. He can’t do it by himself, and instead, he has to torment you.”

”Yes, yes, Lord Gongshu, we know this is hard on you....”

When Lin Yi tossed over this message, and Mr. Gongsu made a scene, leaders of various countries immediately understood Lin Yi’s intention.

They quickly began to comfort Mr. Gongsu.

Besides combat, they can’t be bad at verbal persuasion either.

With everyone’s agreement and comfort, no doubt, Mr. Gongsu felt a bit better, and his anger toward Lin Yi’s action lessened.

”Mr. Gongsu, you see, to win every battle, knowing oneself and one’s enemies is crucial. I think Lin Yi considered this point, and you going to work for the Immortal King might give you access to critical information needed to defeat him. Could you share Lin Yi’s specific arrangements with me?”

After Xu Sheng’s words, Mr. Gongsu felt much better.

He patiently started discussing.

After seeing Lin Yi’s arrangements, Xu Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit of disappointment in his heart.

All these years, he hasn’t seldom visited Lin Yi’s parents.

Step by step, Xu Sheng watched Lin Yi’s parents accumulating wrinkles on their faces.

Yes, Lin Yi, as a hero of Blue Star, has countless admirers and people wanting to befriend him, as well as those lining up to help pay back this hero far away from home.

Yes, Lin Guodong and his wife would never feel lonely or estranged.

But the fact that they cannot see their child remains unchanged.

Seeing Lin Yi’s plan of not intending to return, but merely taking someone and leaving, Xu Sheng felt somewhat saddened internally.

As a parent himself, he naturally knows what Lin Guodong and his wife think.

A son becoming the hero of the entire planet, the core of the planet, is indeed a matter of great pride.

But as parents, who wouldn’t wish for their child to be safe, without having to constantly worry on some foreign land?

”Forget it, let’s not talk anymore. Mr. Gongsu, please prepare to leave with Lin Yi.”

”Before we execute our plan here, Nangong Ling, would you like to join me for a trip?”

Blue Star, Imperial Capital G Zone.

Development here was rapid, changing drastically over time.

Though it’s not the Imperial Capital’s Zone A, not a military stronghold, the protection here is not lax compared to Zone A.

Powerful War Gods frequently rotate their duties here to ensure the safety of Blue Star hero’s parents.

Of course, Xiyue can ensure the safety of Lin Yi’s parents. They know their presence might not be greatly significant, but it’s a necessary attitude to display.

Even if their son isn’t by their side, their future daughter-in-law is, which does bring considerable comfort to Lin Guodong and his wife.
