"Hey! Hey! Hey! Chen Mu, did you see that? It licked as well!"
At this mont, Du Jiajia's excitent was beyond words. She couldn't have imagined that, in a mont of absent-mindedness, she licked the glass and unexpectedly discovered sothing new.
"I saw it," Chen Mu replied, also very curious.
Could it be that this so-called telepathic feeling is just mimicking actions?
Like copying without variation?
If that's the case, it seems a bit unimpressive.
But Du Jiajia didn't care about that. After making this discovery, she was overjoyed and didn't mind whether the glass was dirty or not. She extended her tongue to lick the glass again.
However, this ti, the little cat didn't imitate her.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be just a coincidence?"
Du Jiajia was on the verge of collapse. She and the little cat had been practicing together for several days, thinking they had finally made so progress, but once again, she was disappointed.
Feeling powerless, she sat down and sighed with her head low.
At this mont, the cat outside the door seed to sense sothing again and let out a soft "ow." Its head lowered even further, and its eyes seed filled with innocence.
Chen Mu looked at the cat in surprise and then at Du Jiajia.
Du Jiajia also seed to sense sothing. She looked up at the huge cat face outside the glass window, and her heart seed to feel much better.
"I have a guess," Chen Mu said.
"What?" Du Jiajia stood up abruptly.
"Tang Jing's talk about spiritual communication and telepathic feeling is likely true. It's just that the recipient is a cat, and your ability has only recently been discovered, so the effect is still very weak. In other words, Yellow (the cat) can currently only sense your strong emotions but can't accurately grasp your intentions."
"Can you make it simpler? I'm not Tang Jing," Du Jiajia said a bit forlornly.
"Let give you an example. When you feel bored or hungry, those are relatively simple feelings, so the cat can respond to them."
"But later, when you wanted the cat to carry away a dead mouse, you couldn't do it. That's because Yellow could only sense that you were disgusted, but it couldn't understand specifically what you were disgusted with."
"In simple terms, it can currently only sense your emotions, but the specific details are beyond its comprehension."
"So when you licked the glass in annoyance to spite , the cat copied your action because you were genuinely upset at that mont. But with the second lick, it was obvious that you did it on purpose, so the cat couldn't sense your emotions."
"And just now, when you felt disheartened, the cat picked up on your emotions again."
Du Jiajia listened attentively and finally grasped the idea.
"So, I only have a pet that can sense my emotions, and there's actually no way to communicate with it, right?" Du Jiajia couldn't express whether she was relieved or disappointed at this mont. The result wasn't too bad, but it still felt incomplete.
Chen Mu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The growth potential of abilities is its most significant characteristic. The starting point of any ability is usually not too strong. Ultimately, it depends on each person's talent and effort."
This realization was Chen Mu's ultimate understanding of abilities.
"So, you an there's still a chance for ?"
"I believe that one day, you will be able to communicate with Yellow genuinely and even have it take you around on its back," Chen Mu smiled.
Du Jiajia imdiately wiped away her tears and laughed, "By that ti, I'll definitely invite everyone to go together and let Yellow take us for a ride."
"What are you talking about?" Tang Jing happened to walk over.
Chen Mu repeated his earlier conversation and speculations.
Tang Jing smiled and said, "Well then, thanks in advance, Jiajia. I really want to experience what it feels like to ride a cat."
"You're welco, you're welco," Du Jiajia waved her hand with a smile, as if this matter had already beco a reality.
But then, she realized a problem, "So, how should I train my ability?"
This question left Tang Jing and Chen Mu both speechless.
It was easy to talk about other people's abilities, just by continuously using them, but Du Jiajia's ability seed to lean more towards being a passive skill. She couldn't keep changing her emotions all the ti, especially since the cat wouldn't pay attention unless it was genuine.
"You are the first person we've encountered with a power related to the mind, so there are no precedents to follow. However, the principles should be similar," Tang Jing said, glancing at Chen Mu. After hesitating for a mont, she suggested, "I recomnd trying so actual contact."
"Let Du Jiajia go out?" Chen Mu was taken aback.
"Yes," Tang Jing nodded.
"Isn't it too soon?"
"I think it's worth a try."
Upon hearing this, Du Jiajia instantly understood and exclaid, "Tang Jing, you also agree with going out, right?"
The previously frustrated Du Jiajia, who had licked the glass in annoyance, was especially excited now that soone supported her.
Opening the glass would ultimately require Chen Mu's assistance. If he disagreed, Du Jiajia would have no way to do it. However, since Tang Jing, the chief strategist, said so, Chen Mu wouldn't likely object.
After so hesitation, Chen Mu said, "Let's ask for everyone's opinions."
As it concerned the life and death of a senior mber of the Bright Start team, it was undoubtedly a significant matter. Moreover, Du Jiajia's ability showed great promise, and she held considerable importance to the entire team. Her life was no longer just her own concern.
During the al, Chen Mu explained the situation to everyone.
However, Dong Junwei was the first to object, saying, "No, this is too risky."
Du Jiajia frowned and said, "Squad leader, I think it's okay. Yellow is very close to now."
"It's not about its intentions towards you that I'm worried about. But with such a small cat, it might scratch you or lick you without being gentle. Would you be safe then?"
"I don't think so," Du Jiajia opposed, but her voice had softened considerably.
Dong Junwei's longstanding authority was enough to intimidate soone as gentle as Du Jiajia.
However, at this mont, Chen Mu suggested, "Squad leader, how about letting Du Jiajia give it a try? I will provide her with a full-body plastic armor for protection. If it's just a few licks, it should be fine. If there's any issue, I'll imdiately pull her back to avoid any life-threatening situations."
Dong Junwei sighed, "Do we really need to rush like this? Even if Jiajia doesn't awaken her ability, no one will look down on her."
"But I'll look down on myself," Du Jiajia shrunk her neck, seeming a bit afraid of Dong Junwei.
Chen Mu understood Dong Junwei's personality well. She had always considered the safety of all team mbers as her own responsibility. The incidents involving Luo Hui and Gu Ping had already left her feeling extrely self-reproachful. She didn't want to lose a single mber, and if sothing were to happen to Du Jiajia in this stable environnt, she couldn't bear it.
Chen Mu said, "This is a step we'll have to take sooner or later. Now, while the little cat still appears relatively gentle, it might be the best opportunity."
Dong Junwei wrinkled her brows, unable to make a decision easily.
