It wasn't until the last sentence that he said, "Boss, when I first discovered I was about to travel through time, I thought I was the protagonist of a novel and so I always thought about developing in a sneaky way, constantly strengthening myself. I was greedy for gold bars and I even hid information from you, making many mistakes.
Now I might have understood that there are no real protagonists in this world, life is not a novel, and someone like me who is indecisive and lacks real ability, should just honestly follow you."
"Thank you for still being willing to help me today, really."
Qing Chen looked at these words of gratitude and stayed silent for a long time.
Actually, him taking action in public tonight was a very risky move, but in that moment, when he saw Liu Dezhu carrying his mother on his back, and saw Liu Youcai persuading his son to leave, he still couldn't hold back.
But there was a gain tonight, Liu Dezhu finally returned to his senses.
Qing Chen felt a bit emotional inside. In the stories, others would brace themselves and immediately form brotherly bonds, while it turned out to be quite an effort for him just to win over Liu Dezhu.
But he thought about it, it's probably because Liu Dezhu is a real person, not just a tool, right?
Qing Chen sent back a plain message: "Rest well."
The next moment, Liu Dezhu's messages came rattling in: "Boss, I feel like my body is burning up right now, it started when I was fighting in the pouring rain, and I've always felt like there's a fire inside me that wants to burst out, but it's being forcefully suppressed by some rule within my body, do you know what's going on?"
At this point, Qing Chen was guessing: Perhaps the rules of this world don't allow Awakening.
That's why Liu Dezhu can't Awaken, and neither can Young Young!
But could he, after completing the challenge in this world, unlock the Genetic lock? Qing Chen wasn't sure, he could only know after trying.
Of course, Qing Chen couldn't say he didn't know, otherwise, the image of the "boss" being unfathomable would collapse.
Speaking with a confident and mysterious tone, he voiced his conjectured conclusion, "You have reached the threshold of an Awakener. If you can keep this fire inside you until the next travel, you will directly Awaken into a Transcendent in the Inner World."
Liu Dezhu thought to himself, the boss is truly the boss, knowing much more than me.

A surge of joy burst from within him, was he about to become an Awakener?
"Boss, how can I maintain this fire inside me?" Liu Dezhu asked humbly.
Qing Chen pondered for a moment: "Recall the emotions you had when this fire appeared."
"At that moment, when I saw the huge wave swept by a Transcendent, I was filled with immense anger," Liu Dezhu said uncertainly.
"Maintain that emotion," Qing Chen instructed.
If he becomes a Transcendent on his next travel, great, if not, then it means you didn't maintain it.
Anyway, no one has ever experienced this kind of thing.
"Okay, boss, have a good rest!" After sending the message, Liu Dezhu burst angrily from the stall of the hospital public restroom.
The next moment, a certain playboy sent Liu Dezhu a WeChat voice message: "Brother Zhu, I heard something happened at your place, what's the situation?"
Liu Dezhu pressed the voice key and roared: "I don't know!"
The playboy who heard the voice was confused, if you don't know, you don't know, what's with the yelling...
Before he could react, Liu Dezhu sent another roaring voice message: "I'm sorry!"
Do big shots apologize so politely when they lose their temper!?
