Chapter 505 "Infecting the World" Male Mother (116)

It sounds like an easy thing, but when you really think about it and do it, it's actually not that easy.

The two fell silent, lost in thought once more.

Although dividing the apple among several people may only guarantee its effectiveness for a period of time, it is indeed possible to ensure that the tracking is focused on the person you want to track.

Because this is no longer on the body, it's already inside the body.

"What can stay inside a person's body forever without being metabolized or digested?" Lu Liruan murmured.

This time, there was no need for Zhao Linchuan to analyze and discuss with her.

Liao Tingyuan's voice came from the side indifferently: "No."

"Ruan Ruan, don't even think about trying any weird or strange things. Be careful, it might be bad for your health," he earnestly advised.

Lu Liruan: ...I was just thinking about it. I'm not stupid enough to actually eat anything weird.

Zhao Linchuan was startled by his sudden joining of the discussion.

Based on his understanding of Liao Tingyuan, the other party should not be interested in this kind of topic, or rather... he is not interested in anything.

So Zhao Linchuan just thought that he simply didn't want to move and just wanted to sit there without considering other people's feelings. But he didn't expect that he had been listening the whole time!

Not only were they listening, but they even joined the discussion!

Lu Liruan was quite used to it; she did the same thing at home all the time.

Lu Liruan sometimes talks to herself without necessarily expecting a response from Liao Tingyuan. Sometimes Liao Tingyuan will reply to her, and the two will exchange a few words, but they don't feel awkward at all when they are together in silence.

"Teacher Liao, do you have any ideas?"

Liao Tingyuan looked up from the book, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

These conditions are actually quite difficult to achieve.

In particular, Zhao Linchuan's skills are mostly used in missions within the space, rather than in daily life.

If he wanted to track both An Tang and Fan Zhenxiang at the same time, he could naturally make them share an apple. But if he wanted to know the whereabouts of two strangers, there was no way he could make them share an apple!

This is based on the premise that both the tracker and the tracked know each other.

After all, it involves separating something from another thing, ensuring that everyone gets a portion of it, and then carrying it around with them...

These conditions combined made things suddenly very difficult.

Since she had nothing else to do in the afternoon, Lu Liruan leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

It has to be something like a dandelion... something that can be separated, yet still attaches itself, and doesn't attract attention...

The downside of dandelions is that they are easily blown away by the wind or a shake of clothes. If they were more sturdy...

Lu Liruan's mind was racing.

Suddenly, Lu Liruan heard Fan Zhenxiang mumbling and cursing his teammates from the sofa over there, followed by a soft "smack" sound.

Lu Liruan's eyes lit up instantly when she looked over!

"Hey! Zhao Linchuan! That one! That one!" She pointed in the direction of Fan Zhenxiang.

Fan Zhenxiang was in the middle of a team battle when he was startled by Lu Liruan's voice, causing his hand to tremble. He was instantly killed by the opponent, and the screen went dark.

He had just finished berating his teammates and was still angry. He looked up, intending to say something to Lu Liruan, but when he caught Liao Tingyuan's indifferent gaze, he took a deep breath and said nothing.

Zhao Linchuan didn't understand what Lu Liruan meant by pointing at Fan Zhenxiang.

"What can he do? Everything he does is bad!" Zhao Linchuan said irritably.

“I’m not talking about him, I’m talking about chewing gum!” Lu Liruan continued.

The "pop" sound she just heard was the sound of a bubble popping from the chewing gum Fan Zhenxiang blew.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Lu Liruan's head.

"Huh? Chewing gum?" Zhao Linchuan thought to himself, "Isn't that something to eat?"

"Isn't giving someone half a piece of chewing gum even stranger than stopping them on the street and giving them half an apple?" Zhao Linchuan asked, puzzled. "Besides, the chewing time of the gum is probably shorter than the time the apple stays in your stomach."

"Who told you to give someone chewing gum?" Lu Liruan shook her head: "That's just your limited thinking."

"Then what are you going to do..." Zhao Linchuan was confused by her words.

If chewing gum isn't for chewing, what is it for?

"What are the properties of chewing gum after it's been chewed?" Lu Liruan raised an eyebrow.

"Huh...what?" Zhao Linchuan turned his gaze to Fan Zhenxiang. Seeing the two of them talking so enthusiastically, Fan Zhenxiang opened his mouth towards Zhao Linchuan, letting him see the chewing gum in his mouth: "What are you looking at? Never seen chewed gum before?"

"Chewed gum...and then what?"

Lu Liruan pursed her lips, then gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "Well, this method might be a bit lewd."

"Huh?" Zhao Linchuan was puzzled. The girl turned her head and faced Lu Liruan with a strange expression. What kind of method could be described as "lewd"?

But judging from Lu Liruan's expression...

"Tell me first?" Zhao Linchuan suddenly became curious, wondering just how despicable this method could be.

"Actually, my inspiration came from dandelions," Lu Liruan said, clearing her throat as she explained.

"Just tell me..." Zhao Linchuan became more and more curious.

"If you put a whole piece of chewing gum in your mouth and chew it all, does that count as something?" Lu Liruan asked him.

“Yes, it counts.” Zhao Linchuan nodded: “Especially the ones I chewed, they definitely count as a whole.”

"Can the chewing gum be divided into several pieces? I should say, it can be divided into as many pieces as you want." Lu Liruan made a "tearing" motion with her hand.

"……indeed."

Who hasn't played with chewed gum when they were little?

“Chewing gum is very sticky after you finish chewing it. So I thought… depending on how long you want to follow that person, there are probably a few options.” Lu Liruan held up her finger.

How can there be several options?

Zhao Linchuan vaguely felt that he was about to hear some strange things, but now it was no longer something he could simply ignore.

“The first method is to choose the right time and place a small piece of chewing gum on the person’s path… If you’re worried it won’t work the first time, you can break the chewing gum into small pieces and place several in front and behind… Then, let the person step on it.” Lu Liruan pointed to the ground.

"As long as that person doesn't clean their shoes, they'll be easy to track for a while... You can't wear different shoes every day, can you?"

“…Hmm.” Zhao Linchuan realized that he had actually listened to what Lu Liruan said, and for a moment, he couldn’t find any flaws in her words.

“If the tracking time is not long… there are even more insidious methods.” Lu Liruan hesitated to speak, but held up her finger and gestured a little.

"Never mind the rest, you go first!"

Fan Zhenxiang urged impatiently.

"Put chewing gum on your finger, and when you pass by someone, either stick it on their clothes or their hair!" Lu Liruan said in one breath.

"Of course! It's the only option available!"

Zhao Linchuan couldn't help but think to himself: Are you a brat...?

Noticing the silent complaints and reproaches in the eyes of the people present, Lu Liruan raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Doesn't this at least guarantee that we can definitely track it down that day? I'm talking about emergency situations. If you're so capable, then don't use it!" Lu Liruan pointed at Zhao Linchuan.

Zhao Linchuan shut his mouth.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that there was indeed no more effective and feasible method than Lu Liruan's!

Moreover, the advantage of this method is that you can divide the chewing gum into as many pieces as you want! If you could really track all the suspected individuals in space like this, it would really save a lot of effort.

Moreover, although it is called tracking, it is Zhao Linchuan's perception, so it is not entirely simple tracking. He can also perceive the other party's mood or the atmosphere in which they are, to varying degrees, depending on the specific circumstances at the time.

"It really is quite feasible," Zhao Linchuan said honestly.

Lu Liruan raised her chin.

"Why don't we try it on Sister Tang and Sister Shiyi first? Let's see if we can do it without them knowing?" Zhao Linchuan suddenly suggested with great interest.

Lu Liruan: ? ?

"You're going to stick chewing gum in their hair? You're absolutely outrageous!" Lu Liruan rebuked sternly and righteously, "You're so wicked!"

"I didn't mean to stick chewing gum in their hair! I meant to see if I could stick it to the soles of their shoes!" Zhao Linchuan cried out, accusing himself of wrongdoing.

"If I dared to put it in their hair, I'd never have to go on a mission again. I could probably retire as a cripple!" Zhao Linchuan grinned.

"I heard you talking badly about us upstairs. What were you saying? What bad things were you planning to do? And why are you dragging Li Ruan into it?"

An Tang peeked out from the corner of the stairs upstairs.

I'm truly innocent...

Clearly, from the initial conception to the actual implementation of this bad idea, none of it was my intention! Looking at Lu Liruan's cute and innocent face, Zhao Linchuan felt that he had suffered because he wasn't born with such an innocent appearance.

"What are you all thinking about?" An Tang walked into the kitchen, washed some fruit for everyone, and called Zhao Linchuan to come and take it away.

Lu Liruan skipped over, picked up two slices of watermelon, stuffed one into her own mouth, and naturally offered the other to Liao Tingyuan's lips.

Although everyone's attention seemed to be elsewhere, everyone saw that Liao Tingyuan naturally, without even reaching out, leaned forward slightly and took a bite of the watermelon from Lu Liruan's hand.

The two of them moved in one smooth motion, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

It feels like it's not just Liao Tingyuan taking care of the little girl; in fact, the little girl is unconsciously learning how to take care of and show concern for Liao Tingyuan as well.

"Hey?"

After listening to Zhao Linchuan's words, An Tang also seemed to be deep in thought.

“That does sound quite reasonable,” she nodded.

“Here’s what we’ll do: when Lao Cheng comes, try to see if you can stick it to the sole of his shoe without him noticing…” An Tang suggested.

Lu Liruan: ? ?

Is this okay?

“That way we’ll know when he’s coming this way, and everyone can avoid him,” An Tang continued with a smile.

Then Lu Liruan discovered that no one in the room raised any objections, nor did anyone think that this was something that should not be done.

Even when Lu Liruan looked at Liao Tingyuan, she saw that he subtly expressed his affirmation.

So what you mean is that whenever he comes, we should go out and seek refuge, right?

How scary was that person? Why are you doing this?

The key point is... as that person's girlfriend, Gao Shiyi did not object. After listening to the whole thing and hearing how they were going to treat her boyfriend, she not only remained unmoved, but also chimed in: "He's quite perceptive. If you can do it without him noticing and keep it from being discovered, then this method should work on other people too."

Why don't you care?

Lu Liruan was already filled with curiosity about Old Cheng.

In fact, Lu Liruan still doesn't understand what else this person has besides being happy to paint that makes these people scatter like birds and beasts.

After all, everyone seems to have their own quirks, so how could they be so intolerant of one person, including Liao Tingyuan?

So after dinner that evening, Lu Liruan, driven by her curiosity, pressed for an answer again, finally uncovering the root of the problem.

“He’s a survivor too.” Liao Tingyuan brewed lemon tea, waited for it to cool to a warm temperature, handed it to Lu Liruan, and then turned back to wash the dishes.

"Zhao Linchuan's special ability was something he actively developed."

"Hmm?" Lu Liruan took a sip and found the sweet and sour taste just right.

"It means that when he wants to use this ability, he actively controls it to use it," Liao Tingyuan patiently explained to her.

"So... are there other shapes?"

"Old Cheng's abilities... compared to Zhao Linchuan's, should be considered passive abilities." Liao Tingyuan's words were very cautious.

"And... what about this kind?" Lu Liruan thought to herself, isn't this just saying that one's abilities are completely beyond one's control? It's said so euphemistically.

Could that person's ability be to automatically slap anyone who passes by him? Is that why everyone is avoiding him? Lu Liruan let her imagination run wild.

Seeing Lu Liruan's thoughtful expression, Liao Tingyuan was amused. This little girl's thoughts were written all over her face.

"It won't cause any real harm to anyone," Liao Tingyuan said, denying her guess first.

"But...it does create a tense atmosphere and makes the environment tense all of a sudden," he continued.

Lu Liruan: ? ?

Magic attack?

Lu Liruan has been playing too many games lately.

"So... what does it feel like?" Lu Liruan couldn't quite understand, since the description was too vague.

"It depends on the individual. I have a weaker sense of this, but it's like feeling that the air pressure is lower on a rainy day?" Liao Tingyuan used this analogy.
