Chapter 485: Chapter 266 Home? There’s no one in their family

"Gary... what did he ask you?" In the police station office, Police Chief Tang Hexun inquired Jiang Shu.

It was a sign of his relatively calm demeanor that he had waited to ask the question until they were in the office.

If Gary had learned about the police station’s sting operation through Jiang Shu, then all the earlier preparations would’ve been in vain.

"About the ’Calming Entry,’" Jiang Shu had already thought of an excuse, "He somehow found out that I have such an entry."

After speaking, Jiang Shu glanced at Wolf, the Police Chief next to him.

Wolf simply looked at his nose, and his nose observed his heart, not expressing any opinion on the matter.

After a night of searching, both Wolf and Tang Hexun were somewhat exhausted; they had dark circles under their eyes and appeared haggard.

However, the two men sitting in their chairs were still sitting up straight, showing no signs of slackness.

Uh.

Jiang Shu gave Wolf another strange look.

From what he knew of Wolf, Wolf shouldn’t be sitting in such a standard police posture.

With his legs crossed and leaning against the back of the chair—that was the usual Wolf posture.

However, when Jiang Shu saw Tang Hexun’s stern and serious face, he understood something.

Probably...

It was that strange competitive spirit between men at work.

"He wants to use a memory USB to steal your entry?" Tang Hexun’s heart sank. If Gary really came for the "Calming Entry," his methods must be forcible.

Although Tang Hexun, as Gary’s former superior, really didn’t want Gary to go down this path, what else could one expect from a man with Cyber Syndrome?

"No, no, it’s not like that," Jiang Shu shook his head, continuing with the story he had prepared, "He wanted to know how I obtained the ’Calming Entry.’ He wanted to get this entry through systematic training."

"Training to acquire an entry?" Tang Hexun was also briefly taken aback; he had forgotten that acquiring entries through training was a possibility.

Entries are a manifestation of personal abilities, meaning everyone is qualified to obtain any entry; on this matter, everyone in Lonely City is equal.

According to the classification of Lonely City’s lexicographers, entries are mainly divided into "Knowledge Entries," "Professional Skill Entries," "Personal Quality Entries," and the "Fourth Entry."

It goes without saying that knowledge entries can be obtained through learning. For instance, before his Magic Performance, Jiang Shu had consulted Kirie, and after the performance, he had acquired corresponding basic entries in electrophysics.

Professional skill entries, like the bullet-time-like entry Wolf used, can be systematically trained for. The methods for training such skills are taught in police academy courses.

After many years of research and development, this ability has become a must-have skill for top students in the police academy and the Combat Sequence.

Personal quality entries also fall into two major categories: physical quality entries, such as robust health, etc.; and spiritual quality entries.

The former is acquired through physical exercise, while the latter is more elusive.

Jiang Shu’s "Calm" entry is a spiritual quality entry. Its hosts cover various industries and populations, and beyond a calm temperament, there aren’t any definite commonalities, making it difficult for lexicographers to find any internal logic.

Simply put, there are no systematic methods to acquire the "Calm" entry; otherwise, Cyber Syndrome would have been eradicated long ago, and Ryan wouldn’t have had to resort to Hypnosis to treat the disorder.

As for the "Fourth Entry," it is a miscellaneous category. Excluding the previous three types of entries, the remaining special entries were grouped together and collectively referred to as the "Fourth Entry."

Similarly, entries in this category are mostly unresearched and difficult to systematically learn.

"The ’Calm’ entry can also be acquired through learning?" Tang Hexun frowned; Lonely City’s lexicographers had long given up on this path, so he had not initially considered it.

Now, Gary sought Jiang Shu to find a way to obtain the "Calm" entry?

Although this approach was naïvely endearing, it also effectively reflected how desperate Gary had become.

The "Calm" entry was just a purple one, and on the black market, purple entries were just mid-to-high-end goods. However, because the "Calm" entry could directly "cure" Cyber Syndrome, its value was extremely high and virtually priceless.

At the time, Jiang Shu didn’t understand the black market’s pricing for entries. Faced with Wolf’s questioning, he instinctively hid the entries like "Deception," "Misdirection," and "Heart Anchor."

The importance of Deception goes without saying, and Misdirection and Heart Anchor were related to magic, so it was not unreasonable for him to choose to reveal an entry that seemed inconsequential at the time, the "Calm" entry, under the circumstances.

"Yes, although I’m not very clear on the specific methods, I still taught him some things," Jiang Shu shrugged, "For example, overcoming inner fear and such, being fearless enables one to be more ’Calm,’ right?"

"Just that?" Police Chief Wolf blinked, looking as if he curiously added, "Didn’t Gary think you were being too perfunctory?"

"Yeah, that’s what he said," Jiang Shu glanced at Wolf and then continued, "So I taught him some magic techniques, some performance skills, all sorts of miscellaneous things."
