"Old Wan, my idea is very simple. Didn't you promise to give me one hundred million old banknotes in US dollars, British pounds, and euros before? I don't want any of those now. Just help me get a few properties and a few cars instead."

Wan Hailu was stunned and couldn't help reminding, "Master, due to money laundering, three hundred million in old banknotes can be exchanged for about four hundred million brand-new Huabi on the black market. You must think this through!"

Yang Tang chuckled lightly, "Old Wan, do you think that with my ability, earning another three hundred million is difficult?"

Wan Hailu: "..."

"Alright, enough chatter. Let me tell you about the property issue first. I plan to get four properties!" Yang Tang's words were not exactly an exorbitant demand. "One school district property, which must be near Peking University and Tsinghua University, no less than one hundred and twenty square meters. Then two apartment complex properties, which must be opposite each other, no less than two hundred square meters. The surrounding environment of the complex must be good, with water, within the Third Ring Road. Finally, get a villa. Aside from a golf course, it is best to have everything else ready. The environment must be good, larger, and a bit secluded. Later, if you have something to discuss, you can invite me there—wait, no, no, how am I supposed to live there then?"

Hearing this, Wan Hailu didn't find it strange at all. Instead, he made a suggestion, "Master, why don't I get another villa near your villa? When I have something to discuss with you, I can just invite you to that one, right?"

"Hmm... that is a method. Let's just do that!" Yang Tang said non-committally. "Right, these four properties had better be newly built. Second-hand villas are only acceptable if no good location can be found."

"I understand. So you don't like using second-hand properties. No wonder you didn't mention a courtyard house to me!" Saying this, Wan Hailu chuckled.

Yang Tang, however, was momentarily stunned, because the habit of "never buying second-hand houses" was inherited from his "wife," and once this quirk was formed, it could not be changed. Thus, he silently wondered if he should find some time to visit his father-in-law's family.

"Master Yang? Master..."

"Ah, oh... let's continue talking about cars!" Yang Tang snapped back to reality. "First, get me an SUV worth around four hundred thousand. The top speed should be around one hundred and sixty, and the safety factor should be as high as possible. If it can be bulletproof, raising the price to three million is no problem!"

"Huh?" Wan Hailu was somewhat speechless. He had thought Yang Tang would want a flashier car, but he actually wanted an SUV. Even a bulletproof one would top out at around one million.

"The SUV should have ordinary license plates from Chongqing. It's mainly for my mom and dad to drive. They both work in universities, so driving too nice a car is too flashy!"

Wan Hailu suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is!"

"In addition, help me get two sports cars, sedan coupes or sports cars are fine, like Ferrari, Maybach, Aston Martin, and things of that sort. As for the last car, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. If it's bulletproof, make it bulletproof; if not, forget it," Yang Tang instructed Wan Hailu without any politeness. "Also, for all the cars, keep the colors low-key. Black, silver-gray, white are fine. In short, bright red, dazzling blue, and the like are not allowed."

"Alright, alright, I've noted it all down. Later on, I'll have someone send pictures of the sample cars to your phone!" Wan Hailu readily agreed to all of Yang Tang's requests. "Right, Master, what is your recent mobile phone number?"

Yang Tang laughed and scolded, "What do you mean my recent mobile phone number? My mobile phone number has never changed, you just never asked!"

"Without Master's permission, how would I dare to make so bold an inquiry!" Wan Hailu said.

Yang Tang made a stop gesture. "Alright, alright, what is your mobile phone number? I'll call you."

Wan Hailu paused and recited a phone number that he rarely used, but through which he could definitely be reached twenty-four hours a day.

Yang Tang dialed the number. It took about a minute of transferring before it connected. The incoming call alert immediately rang inside Wan Hailu's accompanying briefcase. He hurriedly opened the bag and fished out a brick-sized mobile phone not much smaller than the old generation large mobile phones: "Master, is this the number ending in 188?"

"Yes, yes, yes. What kind of phone is that? Why is the transfer so slow?" Yang Tang asked casually.

"This is a Thuraya satellite phone jointly launched by the five permanent members of the United Nations," Wan Hailu briefly introduced. "If you find it slow, I'll dial you using my regular phone!"

This time it was fast. Just a few seconds after Wan Hailu dialed on his other phone, Yang Tang's phone rang. "Is this the number ending in 186? Alright, I've noted down both of your numbers."

"That's great. I will take my leave now, Master!" Wan Hailu stood up and bowed slightly. "Once the matters of the houses and cars are all settled, I will contact you again!"

The next day, under the escort of his father and mother, Yang Tang followed Qin Xuewu to the 309th Hospital.

According to Qin Xuewu's introduction, the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the 309th Hospital was relatively strong among military hospitals. After all, Yang Tang had previously undergone a comprehensive physical examination at the Chongqing Tumor Hospital, which possessed no weak medical strength, and no problems were found in his torso. Now, only his head remained to be examined.

As soon as Yang Tang entered the MRI scanner, an epiphany followed: passive skill "Reticence" activated, temporarily occupying one skill solidification slot!

Reticence on what? Yang Tang couldn't help asking himself.

Simulating an ordinary person's normal brain state, hiding abnormalities such as brain sulci more developed than ordinary people, and the Sea of Magical Power! During your previous examinations in Chongqing, when you were unconscious, you also relied on Reticence to pass!

Could it be that my brain really has an extra structure called the Sea of Magical Power?

Of course. What else did you think?

I thought it was just visualized...

Visualization is similar to daydreaming, daydreaming is similar to fantasy, and fantasy is equivalent to a mirage—it's fundamentally an illusion. But the Sea of Magical Power actually exists; it can store magical power as vast as Mount Sumeru containing mustard seeds, which is truly extraordinary. Unfortunately, although its physical volume is small, it cannot be hidden, so Reticence must be used to cover it up!

Can Reticence be solidified?

Yes. The solidification duration is eight hours, and it requires deducting one thousand points of merit and demerit!

One thousand? So expensive?!

The epiphany instantly went silent. Its meaning was very simple: that's the price, take it or leave it.

One thousand is one thousand. I'll solidify it, deduct one thousand demerit points!

One thousand demerit points deducted. Skill solidification begins, duration eight hours.
Cannot be used before skill solidification is complete.
Use skill solidification slot one!
Solidification begins...

Currently possessing forty-four skill solidification slots!

"Hey, alright, your scan is done. You can get up." The nurse on duty greeted Yang Tang, telling him to get up from the bed of the MRI machine. "Half an hour later, use the barcode on this slip to retrieve the results from the color printer over there!"

While waiting for the results, taking advantage of the presence of all three members of the Yang family, Qin Xuewu brought up the matter of the house auction, saying there would be one the day after tomorrow. He asked if Yang's father and mother wanted to participate in the bidding. Since it was an online auction, they only needed to submit the bidder's identity information twenty-four hours in advance.

Yang's father and mother had no strong opinions on this matter and left it entirely to Yang Tang. Feeling embarrassed to tell his parents in front of Qin Xuewu that he had already taken a different path and entrusted Wan Hailu to handle the house and cars, Yang Tang had to go along with it, saying, "That's just wonderful! I'll be responsible for providing the money, and Uncle Qin can help register. When the time comes, you can also help my dad and mom brainstorm!"

After this matter was settled, the results came out. However, the director of the Department of Neurology stared at the scans for a long time without uttering a single word. "Director Wang, you take a look too..."

"Director Li has already looked at them, what else is there for me to look at?" Although the director of neurosurgery, Director Wang, was modest in words, his hand still took the scans, and he stared at them for a long time as well. "Eh? Isn't this a completely normal person? Why on earth did you come to take scans just to kill a few good cells, Old Qin?" As he said this, he laughed directly at Qin Xuewu.

Qin Xuewu seized the opportunity to introduce all three members of the Yang family to the two directors, and then said with some worry, "This child Yang Tang has been examined several times at large hospitals in Chongqing, and there is also nothing wrong with him. But when he was admitted to the tumor hospital, he was indeed in a coma. If you don't believe me, look, this is the medical record..."

After reading the medical record, both Director Li and Director Wang shook their heads slightly, and finally, Old Li spoke first. "In my years of practicing medicine, I have encountered a few cases of such unprovoked comas. Excluding the possibility of mental illness and neurological disorders, the most likely cause is excessive psychological stress, resulting in a mechanical system crash of the body!"

Mother Yang asked, "Doctor, what is called a mechanical system crash?"

"Heh, this problem is simple to say, but very complicated to explain. Let me put it this way: everyone's body always has some minor flaws, such as calcium deficiency, or pulmonary alveoli, or occasional cardiac arrhythmia. These flaws are not fatal under normal circumstances, but if they all happen to erupt simultaneously on a certain day and at a certain time, it can very well be fatal. For example, calcium deficiency can cause muscle cramps, right? The heart muscle is also a muscle. If you add the problem of cardiac arrhythmia, it spasms like that, and then the pulmonary alveoli suddenly burst due to blood pressure and oxygen circulation. When all unfavorable factors erupt together, it may cause a mechanical system crash of the human body!"

Director Wang patiently explained a long string of medical concepts, but Mother Yang listened in a daze.

On the contrary, Father Yang understood the general meaning and asked, "Director, then how can we avoid similar situations from happening again as much as possible?"

"Actually, it mainly relies on self-conditioning: a healthy diet, reasonable rest, so that those minor flaws in the body won't erupt all at once even if they do act up. This way, you can avoid unprovoked fainting without any detectable abnormalities!"

"Right, right, Old Wang is right. One is regular rest and a reasonable diet, and the other is learning to reduce psychological pressure. Looking at the medical record, your child is turning eighteen in a few days, right? Taking the college entrance examination next year..."

Qin Xuewu waved his hand and said, "Sorry, Old Li, let me interrupt. This child Yang Tang has already been admitted to Peking University this year!"

"Heh, then I must congratulate you!" Old Li smiled with a chuckle.

Old Wang, however, changed his expression slightly. "So, Little Yang fainted on the eve of the college entrance exam? That's no wonder then. It must have been excessive psychological stress..."
