Age: My Small World

"Perhaps everyone has another side. The persona that is always shown to others is the one that they want to maintain. But when no one is around, the other personality comes out."

Yang Jun wasn't talking about split personality, but rather that everyone has an innate talent for performance.

Even a child knows that behaving well will get you candy, let alone an adult.
Many people are forced to put on a smiling face because of social interaction, but how genuine that smile is is another matter.

Qi Changyu fell silent after hearing this, and then sighed quietly.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, Comrade Yang. Have you noticed if Xiao Song has any accomplices? We must find out any hidden dangers."

The importance of this base is self-evident. In addition to experiments, it also contains a real ecosystem, which will drive the development of the surrounding area in the future.

Okay, that's still a long way off.

In any case, this base is extremely important at present.

"The three of us will remain stationed here until the end of the month. If we haven't discovered anything by then, we will leave."

"That's great. I'll arrange your work properly and make sure the base cooperates well."

Although Qi Changyu was somewhat upset and didn't know how to explain it to his friends, the importance of his work outweighed his feelings, and he didn't have time to say more.

"Okay, Director, we'll head down now."

"Yes, I also want to see the body of the poisoned person to see if there are any other suspicious things."

As he walked outside, Yang Jun waved to the two of them: "You two go back and rest first, I'm going to check on the body."

Watching his departing figure, Wei Ye raised an eyebrow: "Should we follow him?"

Sun Buyong laughed and said, "No need. If Yang Jun makes any discoveries, he will definitely come and tell us."

Wei Ye glared at him: "So you just like to take advantage of others like this?"

Sun chuckled: "No, actually you haven't noticed. Yang Jun prefers to work alone when he's investigating a case; he doesn't like anyone following him around."

"So by doing this, I actually gave him some free time."

"Nonsense." Wei Ye curled his lip, not wanting to listen to his nonsense at all.

As Sun said, Yang Jun was perfectly fine investigating cases alone, which allowed him to calm his mind and focus without being disturbed by others, thus facilitating his thinking.

He was now back at the scene of the crime.

The dead have long since been taken away, leaving only a trace or pattern in the original location.

People around would come over to take a look, but they couldn't understand anything at all.

It wasn't just Qi Changyu and his men here; most of the people were ordinary local residents, so there were quite a few onlookers.

Along the way, Yang Jun also took the opportunity to get to know all the onlookers.

Fortunately, so far, no one with too many ideas has been found.

"Killers usually like to return to the crime scene... Hmm, this doesn't quite fit the rule, after all, this is someone else's case."

He was now certain that the person who had just killed the man was the one who used the blowgun, because the remaining poison he had found on the ground was indeed his.

"If an ordinary person were to investigate, it would probably take a very long time to find the cause."

The ability to find trace amounts of toxins in the soil puts him ahead of many others.

"It seems that waiting passively isn't a good idea; I should take the initiative and go for a walk."

Yang Jun began to move, walking around the entire base.

The base is very large, easily accommodating several thousand people, and it is further divided into different areas.

Yang Jun could only take a cursory look around; if he really wanted to stop and linger, it was probably because he had encountered a problem.

Such as now.

Yang Jun was surrounded by a group of people who were clearly locals. "Hey buddy, where are you from? We've never seen you before!"

"Yes, yes, they look unfamiliar."

Some of the older women started gossiping, and then one of them even offered to introduce him to a potential partner.

Even more incredibly, the auntie said that as long as she could get a divorce later, it wouldn't matter if she had been married before.

Yang Jun was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? They even wanted to steal married men.

"Hehe, I have something to do, so I have to go back to my dorm first. Let's talk again next time."

Yang Jun hurriedly made an excuse to escape. If he were really entangled with this group of people, he would really have to get a divorce and remarry later.

Of course, these people might just be saying that.

Back in his dorm, he was still somewhat shaken.

Patting his chest, Yang Jun locked the door and entered the small world.

Inside the bamboo house, Yang Jun placed a bowl on the table, his eyes fixed intently on it.

In the seemingly empty bowl, tiny crystals gradually began to appear.

Yes, that was potassium cyanide that Yang Jun collected.

Even just a tiny bit would be enough for him to poison several livestock.

"I hope I won't need it in the future."

He only collected these for self-defense, so it doesn't matter.

"Hmm, it's been several days since we've had a decent meal. Let's cook something."

Even when eating noodles with everyone else, he was still starving. You have to understand that Yang Jun's appetite is almost equivalent to that of ten people, so how could a small bowl be enough?

He first cooked a large pot of rice and set it aside, and then cut some meat and started stir-frying it.

I specially made a stir-fried pork with green peppers, and the amount of green peppers in it was almost twice that of the pork.

He mainly ate the green peppers in this dish; the meat was secondary.

"It really has to be spicy to be satisfying."

As a Sichuan cuisine enthusiast, Yang Jun's mouth would truly go numb if he couldn't eat spicy food for a long time.

"Only when you are well-fed and watered can you have the energy to solve cases and arrest people."

Lying on a recliner in front of the bamboo house, Yang Jun looked at the starry sky in the little world he had created. Somewhat listlessly, he waved his hand, and the starry sky changed with his wave.

One moment it's vibrant and colorful, the next it's completely devoid of starlight.

"I don't know how this breakthrough in perception came about."

After some investigation, he discovered that it was very likely because the small world had grown again.

"We really need to collect more jade. The more jade we have, the larger the small world will become, and the more powerful the rewards will be."

It should be that as long as the small world grows, his perception will definitely be greatly improved.

Having become accustomed to his perception, he absolutely couldn't miss out on such a good opportunity.

"I wonder if there are any jade mines around here. It would be great if there were raw ore."

All jade stones are the same to him. Raw ore is better because he can absorb it completely, but jade artifacts are a waste if he absorbs them all.

The jade in Jiangcheng is also very famous, and Yang Jun plans to go out and explore it whenever he has time.

Besides searching for jade, let's also see if we can find any small animals. (End of Chapter)
