Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Upon seeing Liu Qingyang, Shang Muchen was overjoyed.

Upon seeing Xu Lele, Shang Muchen felt an urge to kick her downstairs.

What's this light bulb doing here?

Liu Qingyang immediately saw through Shang Muchen's change in expression. She smiled and said, "I can't help it, I have to go back to work overtime in a bit. I can't just leave Lele alone in the lab while I go out and have some fun, can I?"

"That's not all!" Xu Lele said enthusiastically, "I'm Boss Ai's informant!"

Boss Ai ordered me to come and help you two, to make sure you can fly side by side, fly and fly, all the way to the sky!

As she spoke, she raised her chubby, fair hands and made a "flying" gesture with her index finger.

Shang Muchen sighed deeply, thinking to himself, "I can only take off without you!"

But he held back and didn't argue with Xu Lele, afraid of appearing petty and upsetting Liu Qingyang.

"You guys are really busy," Shang Muchen asked. "Busy with what?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you," Xu Lele retorted with a look of disdain. "Liberal arts students should stop asking questions; it'll only make you sick."

"How have you been these past few days? What have you been busy with?" Liu Qingyang asked with a smile.

"I've moved!" Shang Muchen had a million things he wanted to say to Liu Qingyang, but he didn't know where to begin. "I found a place to stay in the 157 Art District. You're welcome to come visit!"

"157 Art District? An international 5A-level scenic spot, why did you think of staying in a place like that?" Liu Qingyang asked in surprise.

"The ultimate goal for liberal arts students is to play with art," Xu Lele said, shaking her head and complaining. "A thousand pieces of gold may be spent, but they will come back again; let not the golden goblet stand empty before the moon. Pluck the flower while it blooms, for it will be too late to pluck a bare branch."

This is the mindset of liberal arts students.

"You make it sound like I'm a spendthrift. My family doesn't have any gold goblets. I'm just a poor commoner," Shang Muchen explained with a smile.

"My fourth uncle found me a haunted house, an old art studio, where no one lived, so I moved in."

"Goodness, you sound pretty poor. Yangyang will definitely have to take care of you from now on!" Xu Lele said with a grin, turning to Liu Qingyang.

"Yangyang, tell me, besides being good-looking, what other good qualities does Shang Muchen, this pretty boy, have?"

"Beauty is justice, huh?" Liu Qingyang covered her mouth and laughed. "Looking at him like this, even if I'm angry, I can't bear to hit him."

Shang Muchen was speechless; he'd just take it as a compliment.

The dishes were served one after another, and the three of them started eating and drinking, soon chatting animatedly.

Shang Muchen had experienced a lot these past few days, but he didn't want to talk about it in front of Xu Lele. He only mentioned what he could say, such as moving house.

"Hey, Shang Xiaobai, you said there are rats in the place you live in?" Xu Lele asked.

"Ugh, that's terrifying," Shang Muchen said. "Have you ever seen anything like that? Countless rats, their tails all tangled together, forming a giant ball!"

"Isn't that an exaggeration?" Liu Qingyang said with a disbelieving look. "How can there be so many rats in this big city?"

"Shang Muchen, don't talk nonsense when you're drunk!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I saw it with my own eyes." Shang Muchen sighed and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

Xu Lele, however, said, "I believe it! This is called the 'Rat King,' and it's recorded in history."

Shang Muchen and Liu Qingyang turned to look at her at the same time, listening to her explanation:

"In medieval Europe, especially during the Black Death, there are many written and pictorial records of rats multiplying so much that they would form a circle with their tails intertwined."

This phenomenon is called the "Rat King."

"Wow, you even know that?" Shang Muchen asked in surprise.

"Don't underestimate the breadth of knowledge of a female PhD in science," Xu Lele said proudly, tilting her head back.

"Let me tell you, if we could really catch a 'rat king,' biology experts would be very happy to buy it, and it might fetch a lot of money."

"Sell it for money? Forget it, it's disgusting!" Shang Muchen gestured, pointing to the sphere. "It's a huge ball over a meter in diameter, who knows how many rats are inside!"

"Hey, if that's the case, why don't we test that thing we made with him?" Liu Qingyang nudged Xu Lele's arm and said softly.

"What is it?" Shang Muchen asked.

"Professor Eileen led us to build something, uh... let's just call it a weapon... actually, it's not really a weapon, you could call it a 'cleaner'," Liu Qingyang said hesitantly. "How can I explain it to you..."

"No need to explain, it's a weapon!" Xu Lele said bluntly. "Boss Ai has taken on a big job and is developing a state-of-the-art anti-drone weapon."

You probably won't understand the principle, but the effect is fantastic!

"So this weapon you're talking about can kill rats?"

"Killing people might not be effective, but it's definitely enough to kill rats." Xu Lele asked Liu Qingyang with anticipation, rubbing her hands together.

"Hey Yangyang, Boss Ai can't find a place to test that weapon, right? How about we try it out at Shang Xiaobai's place?"

"Will this work?" Liu Qingyang hesitated. "Will Professor Ai agree?"

Furthermore, would anti-drone weapons be effective at killing rats?

"How will we know if we don't try?" Xu Lele said excitedly.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, what kind of weapon is it? A laser? A microwave directed energy weapon?" Shang Muchen's curiosity was piqued.

"Those are all outdated!" Xu Lele waved her hand dismissively, displaying an air of dominance, her chubby arm sweeping over the wine bottle, spilling wine all over the table.

"Our weapon solves the problem 'at its root'!"

"Fundamental? How fundamental?"

"Absolutely not!" Xu Lele seemed to be trying to keep it a secret, "As soon as the weapon is activated, the propeller stops, the engine shuts down, and the power is cut off..."

In short, let the living die, and the dead perish; sweep away all enemies!

"Good heavens!" Shang Muchen grimaced, unable to believe it.

Both sides boasted for a while, their faces flushed from drinking. Liu Qingyang glanced at his watch and said:

"Mu Chen, we really have to go back. Professor Ai is still working overtime in the lab. It's not appropriate for us to leave her alone and go out to play for too long."

"Okay, I'll take you."

The three of them walked out of the private room and left the restaurant. As soon as they stepped onto the street, they saw Lu Mingdi walking towards them with three followers.

"The stalker is here again!" Xu Lele was the first to spot them and whispered to Liu Qingyang.

Shang Muchen also saw it, and somewhat displeased, he took the initiative to walk towards Lu Mingdi.

As Lu Mingdi walked, he put on a white glove inlaid with many pearls and gems.

Shang Muchen was surprised to find that the white glove was the same white glove he had seen Lu Mingdi trading with several Japanese a few days ago using his X-ray vision.

The white gloves seemed to have some kind of control ability. Shang Muchen witnessed Lu Mingdi using the white gloves to control a girl.

"Yangyang, what a coincidence!" Lu Mingdi greeted her warmly, extending his hand.

Just as Shang Muchen was about to step forward to stop him, the short Wu Biao swayed his body and rushed up, using his waist and hips to push Shang Muchen aside.

Just as Lu Mingdi's gloved hand was about to touch Liu Qingyang, Xu Lele suddenly jumped over and grabbed Lu Mingdi's gloved hand.
