Chapter 85: Cutting Off Dust Ties

In short, spraying aptitude modification potions was not a troublesome job, and in many cases, magic puppets or artificial living beings would be directly arranged to implement it.

However, one advantage of Jie Ming was that he listened to advice; confirming that Mentor Lei Ke had no malice, he did not have too much resistance and set off immediately after taking this mission.

Driving the spraying equipment provided by the academy, it was a streamlined small floating boat with a built-in automatic spraying device and energy detection system.

He flew steadily toward the designated area according to the coordinates provided by the mentor.

As the floating boat slowly descended, he saw a small team on the ground coming to greet him, led by a regional lord wearing gorgeous clothes.

When he saw the face of that lord clearly, Jie Ming was slightly stunned, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

He knew this lord!

Because the two had met a few times, the one who sent him to the Plane Nuolun Academy back then was precisely this lord before him!

The area he was responsible for was actually his hometown in this world!

"... Heh! Although a bit poker-faced, the mentor is actually a good person." After a moment of silence, Jie Ming couldn't help but grin.

Until this moment, Jie Ming truly understood the intention of Mentor Lei Ke arranging this mission for him.

One year later, he would go to participate in the test of hundreds of academies organized by the Plane Nuolun workshop.

Although he was not clear about the specific reason and purpose, judging from the situation that the Plane Nuolun workshop suddenly proposed to conduct a test and required high-tier wizards and apprentices to return forcibly, these personnel who passed the test probably had other arrangements.

Although he had always been humble, Jie Ming would never underestimate himself; he was not sure if he could take first place in that test, but passing the test was absolutely no problem.

And judging from the intensity of the Plane Nuolun workshop's actions, if he passed the test, he would probably not return to the Plane Nuolun 13 plane in the future, and might not even return during the rest period.

Even if he could return later, it was estimated that it would be a long time later, and Jie Ming's parents were just ordinary people, so it was estimated that they would have passed away by then.

Therefore, Mentor Lei Ke arranged such a mission for him, giving him the last chance to see his family before leaving this plane in a seemingly official way.

This mentor, although not smiling, revealed humanistic care inadvertently.

However, after knowing this fact, Jie Ming found that his emotions were unexpectedly calm.

Not in a hurry to go home, Jie Ming first officially handed over the mission permit with the local lord, and then was pulled by the lord to the laboratory for an academic exchange.

It was not until four or five days after taking the mission that Jie Ming said goodbye to the lord and came to the area where his hometown was located with the spraying progress.

He used the gap between spraying potions, using the excuse of needing to replenish energy, to let the floating boat land on the edge of the town not far from home, and then went to visit his parents.

The meeting with his family was even flatter than Jie Ming expected.

Pushing open the familiar wooden door, his parents were still a few years older, but their bodies were still strong.

They saw Jie Ming return, and a trace of surprise and joy appeared on their faces, but this joy was not too intense.

After all, the entire plane was under the deliberate control of wizards, and in order to "optimize the population," the residents worked very hard to give birth to offspring.

Even ordinary farmers, supported by sufficient food and an excellent medical system, having five or six children in a family was normal.

And small merchant families like Jie Ming's parents obtained richer resources, so they could raise more children.

At least before Jie Ming left, there were already seven or eight brothers and sisters in the family.

And after he returned, this number had soared to more than ten.

So when Jie Ming pushed open the door, what came into view were children of all sizes playing in the yard.

For this child who left home a few years ago, in the eyes of his parents, he was just one of many children, a child who "left home to venture out."

They were gratified that he could "get ahead," but there was no too much sadness of parting or excitement of reunion, and there was even an indescribable sense of strangeness.

And Jie Ming himself had long possessed the consciousness of an adult and had experienced the baptism of the supernatural world, so his mentality had long been detached from the attachment to mundane family affection.

For these two parents who raised him, he naturally had gratitude deep in his heart, but he did not have too much sadness of parting.

Although he had imagined whether he would be sad before coming, those feelings vanished after meeting.

Although regretful, he would not be too sad—just like in his previous life, when a friend he had been playing with for a long time suddenly lost contact, and he suddenly recalled it one day.

As for his parents, ever since he was taken away by the lord to enter the academy, Jie Ming's family suddenly received a lot of subsidies from "nobles"—this was the subsidy and invisible care belonging to wizard apprentices.

Relying on these subsidies, Jie Ming's father had changed from an original small merchant to the leading big merchant in the town now.

The family was well-off, life was comfortable, and he even found a few more "lovers."

So overall, the family members did not have much feeling about Jie Ming suddenly returning, but the young lovers his father had found in the past two years showed worry in their eyes.

At the current stage of the Plane Nuolun 13, supernatural power was in a state of strict confidentiality for ordinary people.

They only thought that Jie Ming was favored by nobles and became a guest (or even a plaything) of the lord, so they had natural awe for these "nobles."

Seeing that Jie Ming did not bring any attendants or carriages this time, they worried whether Jie Ming's return this time was because he angered the lord and was expelled, or if he escaped privately.

No matter which one it was, it would make their family not have such a good life in the future.

So not long after entering the door and sitting down, Jie Ming received a report from local officials through the communicator, unable to laugh or cry: a lover reported Jie Ming's whereabouts.

Until this moment, Jie Ming truly realized that the two sides were indeed no longer people of the same world.

Because of this reason, Jie Ming did not stay at home for long; he just chatted with his parents and several brothers and sisters about family affairs and left them some gold coins.

Then, he returned to the floating boat and continued to complete the remaining potion spraying mission.

When the floating boat drew an arc in the sky and evenly sprinkled the diluted aptitude modification potion to the ground, Jie Ming's heart was calm and complex.

He knew that this land would move toward a completely different future under the transformation of the Wizarding civilization.

In any case, Jie Ming was also very grateful to his mentor Lei Ke for giving him this opportunity.

He had already drifted away from this mundane home, and his path was in the depths of the starry sky, on the other side of the supernatural. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
