With a word of praise, Donna Dong instantly transformed into a foodie, quickly devouring all four dishes on the table.
Fifteen minutes later, Donna Dong had polished off all four dishes, patting her belly with satisfaction. She looked at Landon Lu curiously. "Did you cook this?"
"Takeout," Landon Lu replied.
"Which place?" Donna pressed. "Do you have their number?"
She'd eaten plenty of gourmet dishes before, but none quite matched up to these simple home-cooked plates.
"Forgot," Landon Lu said.
"You didn't make it yourself, did you?" Donna asked suspiciously.
"No," Landon Lu replied firmly.
"Really?"
Suddenly, Donna Dong got up and walked toward the kitchen. One glance and she totally got it. She thought, wow, Landon Lu hasn’t just gotten way stronger these past few years—his cooking game is on point too! Now she was seriously curious; what other secrets was he hiding?
"Landon, do you live here alone?" Donna Dong asked.
"Yeah."
Donna grinned. "Perfect! I’m going to be staying in Plumridge City for a while, so I’ve decided—I’ll just live here with you!"
"I don’t agree."
Landon Lu spoke in a low voice.
Donna waved her fist at Landon Lu. "Why not? You should know, being able to live under the same roof as a beautiful woman is a blessing you’ve earned over eight lifetimes! What gives you the right to refuse?"
"I still refuse!" Landon Lu said, his attitude unwavering.
Seeing Landon Lu reject her again, Donna Dong glared at him angrily. "Really, Landon? After all, we’re old classmates. You’d let your old classmate end up on the street and still refuse to take her in? You’re heartless! You’re cold!"
Landon Lu was completely unmoved by Donna Dong's complaints. "No matter what you say, I won’t let you stay. You should leave."
Donna Dong staying here would be a liability, so even if she was a beauty, Landon Lu wasn’t going to let her stay.
Landon Lu’s unwavering attitude left Donna Dong feeling hurt. "You bastard, Landon! I’ll remember this!"
Watching Donna Dong slam the door and leave, Landon Lu breathed a sigh of relief—he’d finally managed to drive off this troublesome girl.
But soon, Landon Lu frowned. He realized that although Donna Dong had left his apartment, she was still lingering nearby, secretly watching him. Apparently, his firm attitude had made her suspicious.
Eh, let her watch all she wants. As long as Landon Lu didn’t want her finding anything, she’d be stuck staring at nothing.
With that thought, Landon Lu scooped up the dishes and got to cleaning.
Once the dishes were cleaned up, Landon Lu returned to his room to study hypnosis techniques in this world.
Hypnosis was a fairly basic use of mental power—every Psychic Adept could do it. So, there were plenty of discussions about hypnosis on the LightNet.

Suddenly, a Psychic Adept’s post caught Landon Lu’s attention.
According to this post, everyone has their own unique magnetic field and frequency. If a Psychic Adept could tune their own frequency to match the subject’s, they could hypnotize them with ease.
"Interesting."
Sounded fun. If he got the chance, Landon Lu was totally trying that trick out on someone.
After that, Landon Lu searched the LightNet for more information about Psychic Adept cultivation.
Suddenly, he remembered that Dai Ming had once told him: with the help of Psychic Solution, cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.

It seemed someone had deliberately scrubbed all traces of Psychic Solution. Thinking of this, he exchanged a few words with Landon Lu in the Divine Temple—turns out, Landon didn’t know about it either.

After shutting down the LightNet, Landon Lu pretended to work on his mental arts. Honestly? The method Landon was using was a joke compared to the Princess’s Meditation Formula—like, night and day.

In a car parked several hundred meters from the apartment, Donna Dong was using a military-grade Clairvoyant Vision telescope to observe what was happening inside.
But soon, he frowned—there was no information about Psychic Solution on the LightNet.

"What a jerk. All these years, I kept thinking about him, and he treats me so coldly. Hmph! Landon, you bastard, if you want to avoid me, I’ll make sure you don’t get your way! Just wait and see!"

But after two whole hours of watching, she’d found nothing.
After a few days, Landon Lu had become a celebrity at the School of Business. Previously, when rumors spread that he’d reached sixth-level Warrior, most people thought it was fake—after all, out of thousands of students, there were only eleven sixth-level Warriors.
But now, Landon Lu’s sixth-level status had been personally confirmed by Instructor Dai Ming.
Putting away the telescope, Donna drove off.
Once he became a War General, both the military and major powers would try to recruit him—the sky would be the limit.
So, after Landon Lu’s repeated indifference and rejections had left him with no admirers, girls were now flocking to pursue him again.
To reach sixth-level Warrior at age twenty meant his future was limitless—he could realistically hit ninth-level by thirty, and maybe even break through to War General.
"Landon, have you made up your mind? Will you join the military, the City Special Police, or stay at the Body Arts Hall?" Dai Ming asked with concern.
"I plan to join the City Special Police," Landon Lu replied.
One day, Dai Ming called him into the office again.
Dai Ming was a bit shocked—he’d assumed Landon Lu would choose the military.
After a moment of silence, Dai Ming advised, "Landon, you should think carefully. It’s hard to earn great merit in the City Special Police, and your chances of getting advanced martial arts techniques won’t be high!"
"Thank you for thinking of me, Instructor Dai, but I’ve made up my mind!" Landon Lu said.
"Alright, fill out this form. I’ll submit it to the City Special Police department for you—you should be approved soon!"

In a private room at a high-end restaurant not far from the School of Business.
Lily Shen sat across from a tall, handsome young man.
"Linlin, why did you ask me out? Just say it!" the handsome young man said in a deep voice.
"I want you to help me deal with someone!" Lily Shen said angrily.
"Who?"
"Landon Lu!"
