Chapter 11 - Slow And Steady.
Yang Dao followed Mary inside the elevator. The OL swiped a golden card at the number panel and the elevator automatically took them down. Yang Dao asked with curiosity, “Excuse me, Ma’am, is the card you just used, a piece of SMART BUTLER SYSTEM?”
Mary glanced at the boy beside her with a surprise. She smiled and replied, “Yes, do you have an interest in technology?”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “A little. Ma’am, If I am not wrong, this system should be the basic version right?”
Mary was surprised once again. She nodded and said, “Yes, it is a basic version. How do you know this?”
Yang Dao shook his head and said, “When this system came out, I followed the introductory conference the manufacturing company held. I have to say this is a very good system, but Crypto Nation is maintaining hegemony over advanced tech for years now. How can they allow others to be comparable to them? They do not provide other countries with high-level tech products. I suspect that If not for the name and face of The Phoenix Group, they would not have sold this basic version as well.”
Mary subconsciously nodded in her opinion this boy was very smart. The elevator opened with a ding sound. Yang Dao stepped out after Mary. He was led to a door ten meters away from the elevator. Mary was about to knock on the door when she heard something shattering inside. Her hand paused mid-air. A wry smile immediately surfaced on her face. Seems like someone is going to have a bad time today. Yang Dao looked at Mary and said, “Ma’am is everything okay? Why did you stop?”
Mary spoke, “Young sir, how about we wait for a bit? Is there something you would like to do?”
Yang Dao spoke, “Can I have some meat buns? I am starving.” he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Mary smiled and was about to lead him away when the cabin door flung open and a man hurriedly rushed away. They all heard a harsh, cold voice from the inside.
“If this task is not completed by the evening, then you better resign on your own.” Yang Dao recognized this voice, it was Feng Yun who was speaking.
Yang Dao turned around and peeked inside the room. Feng Yun sensed it and shouted, “Who?” when she raised her head and spotted Yang Dao peeking inside. Her anger immediately vanished. She even fumbled a little. The lady spoke, “Young Master, why are you standing outside? You can come in whenever you want.”
Yang Dao walked inside the cabin. The cabin was very exquisitely decorated. Though the color was mostly red, it looked very nice. Yang Dao spotted a broken sculpture on the side of the table. He said, “Sister Yun, what made you so angry?” he spoke with a smile on his face.
Feng Yun stood up and came to his side. She put her jade hands on his shoulders and led him to sit down in her own chair. Yang Dao spoke, “Sister Yun, this is your chair. I cannot sit down in it.”
Feng Yun shook her head and said, “Young Master, I belong to you. So what is mine, is yours.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Yang Dao still wanted to protest, but he was pushed in the chair by Feng Yun. This beautiful tyrant actually used some physical force on him. He was helpless against an elemental practitioner who had higher strength than him. Feng Yun nodded in satisfaction when she saw Yang Dao sitting in the chair.
The door of the cabin was knocked. Feng Yun spoke, “Come in.”
Mary pushed open the door. The sight of Yang Dao sitting in the president’s ‘ROYAL THRONE’ almost gave her a heart attack. This chair was taboo in the office. Nobody could even approach one meter near the chair, let alone sitting in it. She could not help but wonder what was the relationship between this boy and Feng Yun.
Feng Yun unintentionally answered this question in her heart. Feng Yun spoke, “Young Master, have met Mary earlier. She is my secretary and a good friend.” she looked at Mary and said, “Mary, this is my Young Master. From now on, when you see him, it is like you see me. His words are placed over mine.”
Mary was shocked when she heard the words ‘my young master’ then another bomb fell on her when she heard ‘his words over mine’. She wanted to yell at Feng Yun ‘are you kidding with me? Who is this boy?’ yet she did not have the courage to say all this. She nodded and walked up to the table. She put an exquisite lunch box on the table. She said, “Young Master was hungry and wanted to eat some meat buns so I took the liberty and called the cafeteria. Is it okay, President Feng?” before Feng Yun could say anything, Yang Dao took the box and said, “Thank You, Ma’am.”
He opened the box and inside laid six meat buns. He picked one meat bun in his hand and stretched it towards Feng Yun. He said, “Sister Yun, can we continue our conversation. I have a lot of questions.”
Feng Yun naturally had no objections and nodded. She spoke, “Mary, you can leave and see if the thing I asked you about in the morning is done.”
Mary nodded and left the room after greeting Yang Dao. The door was closed and Feng Yun waved her hand, creating a barrier. She spoke, “Young Master, you can now ask any question you may have.”
Yang Dao picked up a meat bun and started gobbling it. He asked as he ate, “Sister Yun, I want to know if the power is divided and classified. If yes, then can you tell me how it is divided?”
Feng Yun spoke, “The strength is divided into five levels. People who can control elements are called the elementalists. Elementalist have five levels among them, the weakest of them is Elemental seeker. This is the first level of elementalists. In this level, the practitioner seeks the elements they try to interact with the elements. Like altering the airflow, controlling the temperature of flames, stirring a cup of water with no external interference, or making the earth tremor. When a practitioner can successfully interact with an element within a one-kilometer radius, they step into the second level. The second level is called Elemental Bender. At this level, a practitioner can let the element behave according to his commands. Let me show you.”
She lit up a decorative candle. She pointed her hand at the candle tip and the flame turned shapes. One second it was normal. The other second it became a butterfly with flaming wings. Feng Yun spoke to Yang Dao, “Young Master, when a practitioner can control the element to bend into a shape as big as an elephant. They step onto the third level. Now before I explain the third level, I would like to say something.”
Yang Dao nodded and Feng Yun spoke, “Young Master, I think too much knowledge will make you rush, so I would suggest that you practice yourself and when you have digested the result, I will tell you more about the power levels. Is that okay? or I can tell you all right now, but it is better to be slow and steady.”
Yang Dao thought about it, and his life changed too suddenly and he was not yet completely ready. So he nodded to Feng Yun with a smile. Just when the two were about to continue, Feng Yun’s phone buzzed.
