Chapter 1 Crossing Over

  Chapter 4 Crossing Over

  Early summer sun is like fire, in Lushan City located in southern China, at this time there is already a hint of sweltering heat in the air.

  In the suburbs, not far from Fenglin Academy, on Lin Yin Avenue, a gentle breeze blew through the treetops, causing the leaves to sway back and forth on the branches, making this place feel exceptionally cool and refreshing.

  At this time, on this cool and shaded road, there was a young man walking slowly.

  This young man was about twenty years old, with a head of short black hair, eyes that were not large but very spirited, and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His skin was extremely fair, and he wore a floral shirt, looking refined and elegant.

  This young man, who looks weak and bookish, is named Muxin Xing. He is a student at Fenglin College, a famous high school in Lushan City. Although this classmate looks like a weak and bookish scholar on the surface, he is actually one of the few skilled fighters.

  In today's modern society where material desires are rampant, fewer and fewer young people are willing to learn traditional Chinese martial arts. With free time, everyone is now busy eating, drinking and having fun.

  Mudan Xing is different, he has been fond of Chinese martial arts since childhood. He once visited famous masters and practiced hard to learn traditional martial arts such as Bajiquan and Miao Dao. Therefore, although he appears to be thin and weak, if he were to fight with ordinary people, he could take on ten at a time without any major issues.

  In the past, five street thugs saw Mochou Xing's weak appearance and mistakenly thought he was a soft and vulnerable fat sheep. They planned to rob him in a small alleyway. As a result, all five of them were seriously injured and hospitalized, while their target, the "fat sheep", returned home safely for dinner.

  Today, Mochanxing's mood is extremely good. Just now, he had a fight with the captain of the Taekwondo team at school. He has been looking down on that guy for a long time, thinking that just learning some fancy moves in Taekwondo makes him superior and arrogant.

  As a result, today with one's own hands, the true form was immediately revealed, until Mudan Xing left, that waste material master had not yet crawled up from the ground.

  Although Mu Chen Xing is not the so-called "angry youth" of today, his community has always had a bad relationship with other communities. As for those stick-wielding people's so-called national skills, he never had any good feelings about them.

  Because Mudan Xing's home is very close to the school, after finishing all the things at school, he usually walks slowly back home. He especially likes this walking feeling.

  Many classmates in school know that Mu Chen Xing's home is near the school, but few people know that this brother's home is actually a three-story villa.

  As Mudan Xing's parents were engaged in archaeological work and were often away from home, they bought a large villa for their son to live in, under the guise of training his independence.

  The villa in front of me is lush and green, with the entire house covered in ivy. The garden in front of the villa is also planted with various flowers. The only drawback is that the roof is filled with all sorts of strange antennas, which instantly destroys the overall style of the villa, giving it a somewhat incongruous feel.

  The villa of Mu Xingxing used to be very different from its current strange and avant-garde appearance, but after two more guests moved in, the exterior of the villa gradually changed to what it looks like now.

  For the bizarre and avant-garde appearance of the villa in front of her, Muxin Xing had already reached a state of indifference, anyway, as long as it didn't become too scary, it was fine.

  When Mochuan Xing walked to the front of the villa gate, a red infrared scan quickly swept over his body on the gate above, followed by an electronic synthesized voice from inside the gate: "Identity confirmed, you can enter."

  The gate just opened automatically like this, and it's rare for ordinary families in China to have an infrared scanning system that controls electronic gates. Generally, only large-scale scientific research laboratories will be installed, while ordinary people's homes do not have the strength to install such high-tech products.

  As soon as he walked into the spacious living room, the coolness brought by the central air conditioner came instantly, making Mudan Xing feel extremely comfortable after just returning from outside.

  Looking at the spacious hall of the villa, those high-configured computers were turned on. Muxin Xing immediately opened his mouth and shouted loudly upstairs without saying a word.

  "Old Zhou, Old Xia, come out quickly, I have something to discuss with you!"

  Mudan Xing knew that the two diners in this house must be doing research in one of the rooms in the villa, and if he didn't want to waste his energy searching for them room by room, then using this method was the fastest and most efficient way.

  "Hey, watch it! Can you keep your voice down? We're not deaf yet, old chap!" The method used by Mu Chen Xing was indeed effective. A middle-aged uncle with a thin build and a tired face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, appeared on the second floor of the villa.

  The uncle who just appeared waved his hand to signal Muxin Xing to stop shouting, and slowly walked down from the upstairs.

  The middle-aged uncle who walked down from upstairs, although he looked like he had a lot of white hair and was unkempt with a decadent look as if he hadn't woken up, his actual age was actually less than fifty years old. He couldn't help it because he had been conducting various experiments for many years, making him look older.

  A set of white lab coats hung loosely on his thin body, and he walked with an unsteady gait, giving the impression that he might fall over at any moment.

  He is one of the guests in the Mudan Star family. Don't look at him now, he's actually a monster-level figure who excels in mechanical design and manufacturing.

  "Xiao Mu, it's only been a few days and you're already getting into some kind of trouble that needs my help to resolve! My time with Old Zhou is precious, I hope you're not asking me to download those so-called youth education videos again! Young people need to take care of their bodies, just look at your pale face!" Old Xia slowly walked up to Mu Chenxing and shook his head, speaking in a serious and concerned tone.

  Lao Xia had just approached him when Muxun Xing suddenly discovered the strong body odor wafting towards him, which was especially heavy in this fresh and airy hall, almost suffocating him.

  Muxin Xing could only shake his head helplessly and complain to Dr. Zhou.

  "Sorry, my skin is naturally this white. But as for Old Xia, how many days has it been since you last took a shower? I know your time is precious, but you should also pay attention to personal hygiene, especially now that it's summer. Just look at the smell on you."

  "What's it to you! What's your business here, kid?" Old Xia sat down carelessly on a chair beside him, speaking to Muxin Xing in a casual tone.

  Looking at Old Xia sitting on a chair next to him, constantly yawning with a sleepy and decadent look, as if he would fall asleep at any moment. Muxin Xing immediately handed the metal cube in his hand over to him, saying: "I want you to take a look at this thing and see how it's charged. Yesterday, its surface was covered with glowing strange symbols. But this morning it didn't light up, I think maybe the power is gone. However, after searching for half a day, I couldn't find any charging port on this thing."

  "Hey! What's this thing?" Rubbing his tired eyes, Lao Xia looked at the metal object handed over by Muxin Xing and not only made a puzzled sound.

  Looking at the metal cube in his hand, he felt the cold texture from his palm and saw how smooth the surface was, yet it was so light that it defied common sense. This discovery immediately caught Old Xia's attention.

  "Hey, Old Xia, don't space out! Take a look at this thing and see if it can be charged! I think you should have a way to do this, right?" Just then, Old Xia was staring blankly at the metal cube he had handed over, having fallen into his old habit again. As soon as he saw something strange, his attention would immediately be drawn to it. Having no choice, Mudan Xing hurriedly shook him awake while reminding him of his task.

  "Oh! Alright, I'll try using my universal charger to see what this metal is. It's worth studying, it's worth studying." Old Xia woke up and replied to Muxin Xing's words while holding the metal cube, his body swaying as he walked towards a room on the first floor.

  Watching Old Xia walk into the room with his mouth muttering non-stop and his body swaying back and forth, Muxu Xing was truly speechless. These researchers, once they found something that piqued their interest, would immediately have all their attention drawn to it, and then they wouldn't care about anything else or anyone else.

  Anyway, Lao Xia won't be able to finish that cube so quickly. Muxin Xing knew he still had to wait for a while, so he simply went to the living room and watched a movie on his own computer to kill some time.

  That computer has a 10TB super-large hard drive, which is also a special configuration of Muxu Star.

  In his spare time, besides practicing martial arts, he also likes to watch various movies and animations, play various computer stand-alone games. The hard drive of this computer is so large mainly because of this reason.

  The villa with more than twenty rooms, most of which have been converted into various laboratories. Usually only the two guests in the house use it, but they haven't paid a penny in rent since moving in, and from time to time they ask Mudan Xing, the landlord, to fund their research.

  Luckily, Xue Chen's star had made some money from stock trading in his free time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford these two so-called researchers, who were really burning through cash. The cost of experimental materials was staggering - tens of thousands of yuan would be gone in an instant.

  It's also quite coincidental that Muxu Xing and Lao Xia met. A few years ago, one day, on his way home, Muxu Xing found two old brothers who were faint from hunger by the side of the road. With the idea of saving a life, Muxu Xing took the two to a small restaurant to eat.

  As they ate, the three of them slowly started chatting. From their conversation, it was learned that these two guys used to be researchers at a scientific research company, but they often misused the company's expensive equipment for their crazy and unrealistic experiments. As a result, the company lost a lot of expensive equipment, and it can be imagined that the two were kicked out of the company together.

  Because they have been doing various research experiments for many years, the two people's ability to take care of themselves is very poor. As a result of having to compensate the company for the equipment, the two have no money and haven't eaten for two days.

  Mudan Xing knew the situation and, with a playful mindset, discussed cooperation issues with two science enthusiasts. He mainly provided venues and research funding, while the two science enthusiasts provided technology. Their products were given priority to Mudan Xing for use.

  As a result, both parties reached an agreement immediately, and from then on, the Mu family had two long-term guests.

  After more than ten minutes, Old Xia finally walked out of the laboratory with the metal cube in his hand. It seemed that he had finished charging, but at this time, his expression was very strange. Muxin Xing was watching a movie on the computer at this time and didn't notice the situation.

  "Where did you get this metal object, Xiao Mu? Neither I nor Old Zhou have ever seen such a metallic material before. Moreover, it has an incredibly strong current capacity. Do you have any more of these? Give us one to study." Looking at the metal cube in his hand that had just been fully charged with electricity, Lao Xia asked Mu Dusteng curiously as he watched the movie.

  "This thing, I picked it up unintentionally! After I play with it for a few days, I'll give it to you. By the way, Old Xia and Old Zhou, can you make the clothes that Batman wears in this movie? It should be able to withstand knife and bullet attacks as well as have fireproof functions." Mu Chen Xing said casually without even turning his head, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.

  "This, we don't have the equipment so it can't be done. If you don't want those functions then it's possible to make it happen. By the way, you mentioned last time that you were going to set up a research center in the suburbs, when will it be completed? Old Zhou and I are waiting!"

  "I've been to the research center, it's really big, but it's located in a mountainous area. The price hasn't been negotiated yet, so I think we'll have to wait for a while longer. And as for Lao Xia, what's the point of having that bat suit if it doesn't have those functions? Are you just going to wear it out and play dress-up?" Mu Xingyun said, taking the metal cube in one hand and pointing at the computer screen with a look of frustration.

  Just then, the Batman on the screen was wearing a bat suit and fell on the roof. At this time, the index finger of Mudan Xing's right hand happened to be pointing at the screen, while the metal cube in his left hand suddenly emitted an electric current.

  The space in front of him was like the surface of a lake, slowly rippling with waves. After a flash of lightning, the dust and stars enveloped everything, and he disappeared silently before Old Xia's eyes, leaving no trace behind. The result left Old Xia staring blankly in astonishment!

  At the same time, in a movie, on the roof of an old house, Batman Bruce Wayne was painfully lying on the roof, with cold rain pouring down on him. He is now being strongly stimulated by the toxin of the hallucinogen.

  In his final moment before passing out, he managed to contact his loyal butler Alfred.

  "Alfred, I've been poisoned... poisoned... hurry!"

  Before the words were finished, Bruce Wayne couldn't hold on any longer. In his last moment of unconsciousness, a pair of feet slowly appeared in his gradually blurred vision.

  Bruce Wayne hadn't even had time to think about his current situation before he completely passed out.
