With a sense of urgency to verify her thoughts, she decided to find someone to help her test it out. However, after checking her contacts, she realized that none of her teammates were available. Meng Xingchen was busy taking care of the half-conscious Wang Jincheng in the medical office. Although his injuries weren't severe, he needed time to recover. Zhang Feng and Wan Xiaoqi were preoccupied with preparing energy food and couldn't spare a moment. Bai Zhenzhen, who shared her wood affinity, lacked distinctiveness.
Scrolling through her contact list, Lin Yao's gaze finally landed on the name Yao Beiluo.
"Yao Beiluo, are you free? Can you come to Lab Three and help me out?"
"Lin Yao, are you in the lab?" Yao Beiluo replied, surprised.
"Yes, I need some assistance with an experiment. Can you come help me?"
Lin Yao couldn't help but feel relieved; Yao Beiluo was indeed the top student in the Command Department's first class, so asking him for help was definitely a good choice.
When Yao Beiluo arrived and saw Lin Yao, he wasn't surprised by her usual scatterbrained demeanor but frowned and said, "Lin Yao, why haven't you treated your injuries?"
"It's nothing serious; just a little scrape. I can treat it after I finish my experiment. Come on, focus your gold energy here and just use your energy."
Despite his concern for her injuries, Yao Beiluo complied with her request obediently. As soon as he released his gold energy, the transparent threads in the beaker transformed into a golden hue, radiating gold energy.
Lin Yao was overjoyed and began to issue various requests to Yao Beiluo. He followed each one diligently. In her excitement, Lin Yao jumped up in place but inadvertently pulled at her wound, letting out a cry of pain.
"You really should get treated now," Yao Beiluo insisted.
"Just a moment; I'm almost done with this experiment," she replied.
"This experiment isn't something that can be completed in a short time. You should go get treated first."
This time, Yao Beiluo didn't indulge her whims and firmly guided her away.
Unable to resist him, Lin Yao hurriedly stored her precious threads in her spatial pouch.
She lay on the hospital bed as Yao Beiluo assessed her injuries: minor rib fractures, dislocated leg bones, slight internal organ damage, and extensive soft tissue bruising.
"I told you it's just a scrape," Lin Yao said as she listened to Yao Beiluo's report on her injuries.
"I heard from Tang Zhixuan that the intensity of those ten strikes you took shouldn't have resulted in just this level of injury," Yao Beiluo said, a puzzled expression on his face.
Lin Yao smirked slightly, "Do you want to know the secret?"
"Yes."
"It's simple. It's like fighting; you anticipate your opponent's attacks in advance and dodge them in time. Also, there are some tricks to reduce damage. If you want to know, I can teach you!"
Yao Beiluo looked at her skeptically. "Is it really that simple?"
"It really is."
Was she going to tell him that she had only learned this from getting hit too many times? Seeing Lin Yao's expression, which seemed to suggest exactly that, Yao Beiluo could only accept it as the truth. "Alright, I'll prepare some healing supplies for you."
Lin Yao lay on the hospital bed, watching him busily moving around. She couldn't help but tease, "Yao Beiluo, you're really quite considerate. Why don't you join our Mingguang team?"
Hearing this, Yao Beiluo paused his busy hands. He glanced at her swollen face, which resembled a pig's head and was barely recognizable, before slowly saying, "Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious."
While assisting the doctor in fixing the splint for her broken bone, he continued, "Do you know that I used to have a different opinion of you?"
"Used to? Well, as long as you acknowledge me now, it's fine." Lin Yao replied nonchalantly.
"Aren't you even a little curious?"
Lin Yao initially wanted to say no but seeing the story-like expression on his face, she quickly changed her mind. "Alright then, tell me about it."
"Actually, after the practical exam, I talked to my grandfather about you. I described your actions to him, and he became very interested in you. He even specifically reviewed your exam footage."
Yao Beiluo came from the renowned military family of the Yao clan in the Yunmeng Star System; his grandfather was the semi-retired General Yao Zhenyun.
"After watching your videos," he continued, "he analyzed your actions in detail. From when you arrived at Blue Belt River and discovered the giant python blocking the way, prompting Meng Xingchen to investigate the forces at play back then. Then there was when you had Meng Xingchen create metal cookware, sparking everyone's curiosity. When everyone gathered together and you boldly attacked Wang Jincheng to establish your authority. Finally, when you publicly announced your plans and extended an invitation for collaboration—every step seemed casual but was executed with precision and purpose."
Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this. "To be honest, Yao Beiluo, if these words hadn't come from you, I wouldn't have realized I had done so much and so tightly packed! Perhaps your grandfather is right; when I was doing all that, I didn't think about it too much—I just wanted to get my hands on the treasure and cross the river quickly!"
"That's what makes it truly terrifying!" Yao Beiluo sighed with a wry smile. "My grandfather said there are people who seem to have learned nothing yet take every step precisely where it matters without overthinking anything. Such people are born leaders."
Hearing his serious tone made Lin Yao momentarily speechless. She wasn't a natural leader; she had simply fought many battles and developed her skills over time.
She couldn't bring herself to say it directly, so she tried to explain, "Have you ever heard of the term 'overinterpretation'? That incident was quite simple, but you all have overcomplicated it. You should learn from Wang Jincheng and just charge ahead; who knows, you might have crossed the river by now."
Yao Beiluo looked at her in confusion. "Why are you avoiding my compliments?"
"I just hope you don't think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary person, really not the impressive figure you make me out to be."
"But Grandpa is so remarkable; he can't be mistaken. He said you're an outstanding talent in every aspect. Whether it's personal combat ability, intelligence, or leadership skills, you're at the top. Most importantly, your inner strength is exceptional; not only are you decisive, but you also maintain your composure at all times. You're truly a natural leader."
Seeing that she couldn't evade the topic any longer, Lin Yao covered her blushing face with her hands and revealed a shy expression. "Wow, to receive such high praise from a distinguished leader like you is truly an honor. What else did Yao Shuai say?"
"He also said that in terms of combat power and strategic insight, I fall far short of you."
Hearing his dejected tone, Lin Yao could imagine how a prodigy who had been praised since childhood would feel when faced with such a blow to their ego.
