Chapter 244: Back To That Key Moment ⑧

---

TL: Resonance

    在这种紧张时刻，系统你就别来捣乱了好吗！尚可在脑中对系统打出一个“无语”的符号。

System, don’t come and make trouble in such a tense moment! Shang Ke gave the System a “speechless” symbol in his brain.

    【亲爱的宿主，开后宫是造福人类的伟大事业。以宿主的生育能力，可以最大限度地改良其他优秀男性的基因，孕育出更加优秀的后代。按照一年三个的高产效率，三四十年后，塔国各个行业的金字塔顶端，都会被宿主的后代所占领。宿主难道不想拥有一个子孙满天下的美好未来吗？】

【Dear Host, starting your harem is a great job that would benefit mankind. Based on Host’s fertility, you can improve other outstanding men’s genes to the maximum and give birth to excellent offspring. If we go by the high efficiency birth rate of three per year, in 30 to 40 years, the top of the pyramid in every industry in the country will be occupied by Host’s offspring. Don’t host want to have a bright future with bountiful children and grandchildren?】

    尚可：别再说了……

Shang Ke: Stop talking… 

    【系统秉持着一切围着宿主打转的行事原则，提供的都是最适合宿主的发展方案。请宿主务必慎重考虑系统的建议，不要吊死在亚奥尼斯一棵歪脖子树上。】

【The System upholds the principle that everything revolves around the host and provides the most suitable development plan for the host. Please consider the System’s suggestions carefully and do not hang yourself on a crooked tree called Yonis.】

    系统貌似开启了话痨模式，锲而不舍地给尚可洗脑。

The System was like it had turned on the chatterbox mode, persistently trying to brainwash Shang Ke.

    尚可不仅暗想，亚奥尼斯是不是哪里得罪系统了？不然怎么老想着给他戴绿帽子？

Shang Ke secretly thought: Did Yonis offended the System? Otherwise, why does it keep trying to cuckold him?

    忍了一会，终于还是忍无可忍，尚可在脑中问道：有没有屏蔽系统的功能？

After enduring a while, Shang Ke finally could not stand it. Shang Ke asked in his brain: Is there a function to block the System?

    【没有这种不仁道的功能！】

【There is no such inhumane function!】

    好在这时，前来支援的武装部队赶到了。尚可等他们控制好局面，这才收回自己的精神屏障。

Fortunately, at this time, the armed forces arrived to support. Shang Ke waited for them to control the situation before he withdrew his spiritual barrier.

    一名军官走过来，眼中带着压抑的激动和热切，神色恭谨地向尚可行了一个军礼：“今天的事多亏尚可向导了，我代表所有获救的军民向您致敬。”

An officer came over with suppressed excitement and eagerness in his eyes and respectfully saluted Shang Ke: “Many thanks to guide Shang Ke for what happened today, I salute you on behalf of all the rescued soldiers and civilians.”

    “不必客气。”尚可微微一笑。

“You’re welcome.” Shang Ke smiled.

    这位军官对尚可闻名已久，但从未见过，如今第一次见面，便被这位S级向导的强大和风范所倾倒。在场数百人，唯有尚可能够开启精神屏障，挥手之间掌控全局，高手风范尽显其中。

The officer had known about Shang Ke for a long time, but had never met him before. Now when they met for the first time, he was overwhelmed by the S-class guide’s power and skill. Among the hundreds of people present, only Shang Ke was able to use the spiritual barrier and control the whole situation with a wave of his hand. His skill can clearly be seen.

    这一幕，全被远处的记者和其他围观者记录下来，即时传上网络。普通民众或许只是看个热闹，但其他稍有见识的人却很清楚，即使是S级向导，在那种情况下，恐怕也不敢使用精神力。而尚可不但用了，还完美地阻隔了病毒的侵蚀。如果不是他的实力已经强大到可以无视精神病毒的程度，就是他研究出了与众不同的精神控制技巧。无论哪一种，都足以引起各方的关注。

This scene was recorded by reporters and other onlookers in the distance, and instantly uploaded to the Internet. The general public may just be watching the fun, but other people who are a little knowledgeable are very clear about it. Even if there was an S-rank guide, the guide probably wouldn’t dare to use his spiritual power under that situation. Not only did Shang Ke use it, he also perfectly blocked the virus. Either he was already strong enough to be able to ignore the spirit virus, or he had developed a different kind of spiritual control technique. Either way, it was enough to attract the attention of all parties.

    最后，尚可带着里奥上了军车，一路开往医院。

Finally, Shang Ke took Leo to a military vehicle and headed towards the hospital.

    这件事很快上了头条，短短几小时，网络电视争相报道。目前已有两个孩子确认死亡，另有七十多人被感染，其他伤者不计。

The story quickly made the headlines, and in just a few hours, online TV sites were scrambling to cover it. As of now, two children have been confirmed dead, more there were 70+ others who have been infected, other injured uncounted.

    尚可受医院邀请，帮忙救治伤患，里奥则被几名警卫保护着，顺便做笔录。他是那间训练室中唯一没有被感染的孩子，其中的原因，自然让人很感兴趣。

Shang Ke was invited by the hospital to help treat the injured, while Leo was protected by several police officers who stopped by to take statements. He was the only child in that training room who was not infected, and the reason for that was naturally of great interest to people.

    被感染的游离者一共七十五人，其中有三十五名孩子，尚可和其他向导一起对这些游离者进行救治。在场的S级向导只有三位，其中以尚可的效率最高。但真正让人惊奇的并不是他的效率，而是他竟然可以无视属性限制，对所有哨兵进行治疗。

There were a total of 75 infected people, of which 35 were children. Shang Ke worked with other guides to treat these people. There were only three S-rank guides present, among which Shang Ke was the most efficient. But what really amazed people was not his efficiency, but the fact that he could ignore the attribute limitation and treat all the sentinels.

    这个事实让不少人惊掉了下巴。尚可不是专属于黑暗哨兵的向导吗？为什么连普通哨兵也能撸得这么顺？这完全不科学好吗？

This fact made many people’s jaws drop. Wasn’t Shang Ke a guide exclusively for dark sentinels? Why can he handle even the ordinary sentinels so well? This is completely unscientific okay?

    “我怀疑尚可大人的实力又晋升了！”一名哨兵小声对同伴说。

“I suspect that Lord Shang Ke’s strength has advanced again!” A sentinel whispered to his companion.

    “怎么可能？S级已经是最高等级了，再晋升岂不是要上天了？”

“How is that possible? S-rank is already the highest rank, wouldn’t he advance to heaven if he advanced some more?”

    “谁说S级是最高等级？只是以往没有人突破更高等级而已，进化无极限，说不定尚可大人真的打破限制了。”

“Who said S-rank is the highest rank? It’s just that no one has broken through to a higher rank in the past. Evolution has no limits, so maybe Lord Shang Ke has really broken through the limit.”

    “似乎有些道理。这么说，尚可大人如今不止适配所有黑暗哨兵，而是适配所有哨兵？”

“That seems to make sense. Which means, Lord Shang Ke is now not only compatible to all Dark Sentinels, but to all Sentinels?”

    “嗷，我要去申请成为尚可大人的配偶！”

“Oh, I’m going to apply to become Lord Shang Ke’s spouse!”

    “加我一个！”

“Count me in!”

    “还有我！”

“And me!”

    ……

    正忙着治疗的尚可还不知道，已经有一大群饥渴难耐的哨兵准备向他展开追求攻势了。要知道他可是宝贵的“国家财产”，拥有自主择偶以及群P（？）的权利。只要他愿意，随时可以选择不同的哨兵进行适配交往。唯一的限制，就是无法建立真正的婚姻关系。换言之，尚可享有不限人数、不限时间、合法约炮的待遇……（尚可：节操呢？）

Shang Ke who was busy treating didn’t know that there was already a large group of thirsty sentinels ready to pursue him. He is a valuable “national property” and has the right to choose his own spouse and harem (?). As long as he is willing, he can choose different sentinels for a suitable relationship whenever he wants. The only restriction is that he cannot enter into a real marriage relationship. In other words, Shang Ke enjoys unlimited number of people, unlimited time, and can book legal appointments to date… (Shang Ke: Where are your principles?)

    亚奥尼斯得到消息时，正在执行一个军事任务。为了尽快赶回去，他硬生生将一场持久战变成了一场突击战，只花了两个小时就将敌人一网打尽。其手段之凶残，足以让他的敌人留下永远无法磨灭的心理阴影。

Yonis was on a military mission when he got the news. In order to get back as soon as possible, he forcefully changed from a prolonged battle into a surprise assault, spending only two hours to wipe out the enemy. The ferocity of his methods is enough to leave his enemies with a psychological shadow that can never be erased.

    等亚奥尼斯处理完手上的事，以最快的速度赶到医院时，已经是第二天的中午。

By the time Yonis was done with his task and arrived at the hospital as fast as he could, it was already noon the next day.

    在军士的引领下，他快步走进医院食堂，结果却看到他思念的爱人正在和一个男人谈笑风生。那个男人不是别人，正是与他齐名的A级黑暗哨兵米歇尔，这几年来，他一直没有放弃追求尚可，是亚奥尼斯最不待见的情敌兼竞争对手。

Led by the sergeant, he walked quickly into the hospital cafeteria, only to see the lover he had been missing so much talking and laughing with a man. That man was no other than Mitchell, the A-rank Dark Sentinel who was just as famous as him. He had not given up his pursuit for Shang Ke over the years and was Yonis’ most unwelcomed love rival.

    亚奥尼斯的出现很快引起了一阵骚动，尚可见到他，立刻笑着迎了上去，热情地给了他一个大大的拥抱。

Yonis’ appearance soon caused a commotion, and when Shang Ke saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile and enthusiastically gave him a big hug.

    不要以为一个拥抱就可以抵消某人背着他与野男人“约会”的事实。

Don’t think that a hug can offset the fact that someone is “dating” a wild man behind his back.

    亚奥尼斯以绝对霸道的姿态抱着尚可的腰，气场大开，表情冷傲地盯着不远处的米歇尔，无声地奉上一个字：滚！

Yonis held Shang Ke’s waist in an absolutely domineering way, his aura spread wide. He stared at Mitchell who was not far away with a cold and arrogant expression, and silently offered one word: Scram!

    米歇尔权当没看见，对尚可说道：“忙了一天一夜，回去好好休息。”

Mitchell pretended not to see and said to Shang Ke: “You have been busy for one day and night, go back and have a good rest.”

    “不劳阁下挂心，我的人我自然会照顾。”亚奥尼斯将尚可往怀里一带，留给米歇尔一个冷艳高贵的背影。在情敌面前，他总是表现得像一只斗志高昂的孔雀。

“There’s no need for you to worry sir, I will naturally take care of what is mine.” Yonis took Shang Ke into his arms, leaving Mitchell with a cold and noble back. In front of his love rival, he always acted like a peacock with a high fighting spirit.

    两人在众人的瞩目中走出食堂，直到离开米歇尔的视线，亚奥尼斯这才问道：“可可，有没有受伤？里奥呢？”

The two walked out of the cafeteria amidst the attention of the crowd. When they were out of Mitchell’s sight, only then did Yonis ask, “Keke, are you hurt? Where is Leo?”

    “我没事，里奥已经回家了，有警卫队保护，不用担心。”尚可转头打量身边的男人，几个月不见，好像比以前黑了不少，看起来有种铁血硬汉的感觉。他大概刚回来就赶来医院了，澡也没洗，衣服也没换，身上散发着男人特有的、混杂着荷尔蒙和土石气的汗臭味……

“I’m fine, Leo has gone home. He’s protected by the police, don’t worry.” Shang Ke turned his head and studied the man beside him. Shang Ke hadn’t seen him for a few months. He seemed to be much darker than before, and looked like a tough guy made of iron. He probably rushed to the hospital right after coming back as he did not shower nor change his clothes. His body emitted a characteristic smell of sweat of a man, that was mixed with hormones and the smell of rock and soil… 

    在回来之前，亚奥尼斯已经通过不同渠道了解了大致情况，也知道尚可和里奥都平安无事，但心里总是挂念着，只有亲眼见到，才能放下心来。

Before he came back, Yonis had already learned the general situation from various channels, and also knew that Shang Ke and Leo were fine. However, he kept thinking about them and can only be rest assured after seeing them with his own eyes. 

    【宿主注意，三点钟方向！】刚走到停车坪，尚可脑中便响起系统的声音。

【Attention Host, towards the 3 o’clock direction!】 The System’s voice sounded in Shang Ke’s head just when they reached the parking lot.

    他警觉地朝那边望去，只见一辆外型酷炫的跑车停在不远处，从车上走下一名戴着墨镜的年轻男子。

He looked over there vigilantly, only to see a cool-looking sports car parked not far away, from the car came a young man wearing sunglasses.

    【罗宾，身高195cm，体重88公斤，芳龄25，世界当红影帝，颜值A+，温柔浪漫，家底丰厚，“性”能卓越，精（子）质（量）上优，堪称最佳伴侣的不二人选。亲爱的宿主，大胆地上吧，不要手软地将他收入后宫！】

 【Robin, 195cm, 88kg, 25 years old, the world’s most popular movie king, appearance grade A+, gentle and romantic, rich family, excellent in sex and high quality (and quantity of sperm). He can be called the best candidate for best partner. Dear Host, boldly take him on. Do not be soft and add him into the harem!】

    尚可：“……”他全神戒备地准备迎危险，结果系统只是让他看帅哥？

Shang Ke: “…” He was fully on guard and prepared to meet the danger, but the System was only getting him to see a handsome man?

    亚奥尼斯见尚可突然停下脚步，心中不解，顺着他的视线看过去，只看到一个陌生男子带着两名保镖从眼前经过。

Yonis saw Shang Ke suddenly stop and was puzzled. Following Shang Ke’s line of sight to look over, he saw a man with two bodyguards passed by in front of him.

    “认识？”亚奥尼斯问。

“You know him?” Yonis asked.

    尚可摇头：“不，只是觉得有些眼熟，好像在哪里见过。”

Shang Ke shook his head: “No, I just felt he looked a little familiar, as if I had seen him before.”

    “嗯，我也觉得有些眼熟。”亚奥尼斯并没有怀疑，随意瞥了一眼便不再关注。

“Hmm, I also feel he looks familiar.” Yonis did not suspect him at all, he gave the person a casual glance and stopped paying attention.

    原本以为只是一个插曲，谁知道类似的事情在之后一段时间接连发生。亚奥尼斯无比惊悚地发现尚可的注意力经常被一些不相干的人所吸引，而且这些人个个长相出众，气度不凡。

He originally thought it was just a small episode, who knew that similar things happened one after another some time after that. Yonis was horrified to find that Shang Ke’s attention was often attracted by some irrelevant people, and these people were all good-looking and elegant.

    难道他的可可已经厌倦自己，开始偷偷物色新的配偶？！

Could it be that his Keke had grown tired of him and started secretly looking for a new spouse?

    “有没有觉得你父亲最近有些奇怪？”尚可私下和儿子讨论某人不合常理的抽风行径。

“Do you think your father is a little strange lately?” Shang Ke discussed a certain someone’s uncharacteristic behavior with his son privately.

    “比如？”里奥并没有察觉什么异常。事实上，在他眼中，父亲从头到尾都是一号表情，只有在母父面前才会华丽变身。

“Like what?” Leo didn’t notice anything unusual. In fact, to him, his father always had the same expression from beginning to end, and would change magnificently only in front of his mother.

    “比如只要有陌生人靠近，他就会高度警觉，寸步不离。平时话变少了，经常会用诡异的眼神盯着我看，还有……”晚上特别折腾，不把他弄得精疲力尽绝不罢休，他都不好意思让佣人洗床单了……

“For example, whenever a stranger approaches, he is on high alert and doesn’t move an inch. He is speaking less and will often stare at me with a strange look, and…” He is very persistent at night, never stopping until he is exhausted. Shang Ke was getting embarrassed to let the maids wash the sheets… 

    刚说到这里，便感觉两道炽热的目光朝他后背射来。

Just when he said this, he felt a hot gaze on his back.

    尚可望着自己儿子，无声询问。

Shang Ke looked at his son and silently asked.

    里奥点点头，表示没错，某人就在他身后。

Leo nodded, indicating that yes, a certain someone was right behind him.

    “时间不早了。”男人低沉的声音在尚可头顶响起，随即被一双大手揽入怀中。

“It’s getting late.” The man’s low voice sounded above Shang Ke’s head, followed by a pair of large hands wrapping around him into an embrace.

    尚可握住里奥的手，镇定地表示：“我今晚和里奥睡。”

Shang Ke held Leo’s hand and stated calmly, “I’m sleeping with Leo tonight.”

    “母父今晚和我睡。”里奥十分义气地声援。

“Mother is sleeping with me tonight.” Leo loyally gave his support.

    “你不是想要最新魅影的模型吗？”亚奥尼斯淡淡道，“我正好认识魅影的开发者。”

“Didn’t you want the latest model of Phantom?” Yonis said lightly, “I happen to know Phantom’s developer.”

    里奥转头看向尚可，一脸正气：“母父，晚安，祝您和父亲有个好梦。”

Leo turned his head to Shang Ke and said with a straight face, “Good night mother. May you and father have a good dream.”

    尚可：这种儿子，要来何用？

Shang Ke: What’s the use of having this kind of son?

    亚奥尼斯如胜利者一般，趾高气昂地抱着尚可扬长而去。

Yonis, like a victor, carried Shang Ke away in his arms arrogantly and proudly.

    当晚，尚可又被狠狠操练了一番，从浴室到卧室，又从卧室转战浴室……

That night, Shang Ke got ruthlessly done again, from the bathroom to the bedroom, and from the bedroom to the bathroom again…

    【系统心理阴影面积过大，目前正处于了无生趣的黑屏状态。】

【The System has too much psychological shadow and is currently in an uninteresting black screen state.】

    距离小学遇袭事件已经过去一个多月，余波仍未消散，外界对反政联盟的憎恶达到了新的高度，纷纷要求对这伙势力进行彻底清剿。然而他们人数众多，分布甚广，隐藏于各个行业，想要永绝后患，除非从思想上彻底解决。

It has been more than a month since the attack on the elementary school, but the aftermath has not dissipated. The hatred of the outside world for the anti-government union has reached a new level, and people started calling for a thorough clean up of this group of forces. However, there are many of them and they are widely distributed, hiding in various industries. To put an end to the problem forever, we have to solve it from the ideological point of view.

    这次事件除了加深众人对反政联盟恐惧和仇恨外，最受关注的便是作为S级向导的尚可。在经过几次测试后，他的实力最终被证实突破了S级，达到了绝无仅有的SS级，精神力可适配所有哨兵。哨兵和向导的分级，因他而修改，增加了新的等级上限。

Other than deepening people’s fear and hatred for the anti-government union, the S-rank guide Shang Ke got the most attention from the incident. After several tests, his strength was finally confirmed to have broken through the S-rank, reaching the unique SS-rank with spiritual power compatible with all sentinels. The classification of sentinels and guides was modified because of him, adding a new upper limit to it.

    一时之间，尚可风头大盛，被誉为塔国向导第一人，无数追求者和崇拜者纷至沓来。

For a while, Shang Ke was in the limelight and was known as the number one guide in the country, with countless suitors and admirers coming in droves.

    尚可没有理会外界的喧闹，专心在家整理有关防御阵图的资料，向世界专利组织提交了专利申请。这种阵图以精神力作为动能，结构严谨，如同某种虚拟机械，可根据运转方式的不同，发挥不同的作用。目前尚可一共申请了三种阵图，可在玉石、木料上进行刻画。这种用精神力刻画的阵图被他取名为“阵符”，不久之后，毫无意外地成为了塔国最受瞩目、最为精巧的防护器物之一。

Shang Ke ignored the outside noise and concentrated on organising information about the defense array at home and submitted a patent application to the World Patent Organization. This kind of formation uses spiritual power as kinetic energy and has a strict structure. It was like some kind of virtual machinery, which can play different roles depending on the operation mode. At present, Shang Ke has applied for a total of three kinds of formation diagrams, which can be carved on jade and wood. This kind of formation diagram carved with spiritual power was named “formation talisman” by him, and soon after, it became one of the most popular and sophisticated protective equipment in the country without any surprise.

    另外一个改变的人是里奥，他原本打算按部就班地从小学读到大学。但这次袭击事件让他意识到危险无处不在，更让他想起，他的父亲会在自己十八岁那年牺牲。

Another person who changed was Leo. He originally planned to go through elementary school to college in a step-by-step manner. But the attack this time made him realize that danger was everywhere, and reminded him even more that his father would die when he was 18 years old.

    上一世，母父的死亡，让父亲一生孤独，让这个家支离破碎。若这次父亲不幸身亡，母父又会变成什么样子？今生的幸福来之不易，里奥绝对不会让悲剧重演，所以他最终做出了一个决定，那就是跳级，抓紧时间提升自我，争取在十八岁之前，拥有足以保护家人的强大实力。

In his last life, the death of his mother had caused his father to be alone for the rest of his life and the family to break into pieces. If his father died this time, what would become of his mother? The happiness in this life was not easy to come by, and Leo would never let the tragedy repeat itself. So he made a decision, which was to skip grades. He wanted to hurry improve himself, and to strive to have a strength strong enough to protect his family before he turned 18.
