Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 11 Leaving, Emotional Closure
"Mr. Chenzhou, can I..."

"No."

Chen Zhou ignored the little girl in front of him, coldly rejected her, and walked forward with the book in his hand.

The little girl's voice trembled slightly, full of expectation and desire, but her request was like a ripple on the sea, instantly drowned out by Chen Zhou's cold rejection.

Her heart dropped heavily, tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare say a word. She could only wipe her tears and trot away.

Chen Zhou had experienced scenes like this countless times during his three years in primary school. He really couldn't understand why a child of eight or nine years old could become so mature at such a young age.
Alchemists expressed doubts!
After turning a page of the book, Chen Zhou's destination was right in front of him.

"teacher."

Chen Zhou gently knocked on the door of the teacher's office and then called out softly.

A gentle response came from inside the door: "Come in."

Chen Zhou pushed open the door and walked into the office. Inside, Lin Ximeng was sorting documents on the table. She looked up, saw Chen Zhou, and smiled slightly: "Chen Zhou, what's up?"

"Teacher, I'm going to Donghai City."

Chen Zhou's face remained calm, as if he was describing something very ordinary.

Lin Ximeng put down the documents in her hand and looked at Chen Zhou softly, feeling helpless for a moment.

During these three years, she had completely understood the character of this young man, whom she believed would achieve great things in the future. She didn't feel any reluctance to let him go, but instead said gently, "Really? You're leaving so soon. Time flies."

A flicker of emotion flashed across Lin Ximeng's eyes, and then she regained her composure. She stood up, walked over to Chen Zhou, and gently patted his shoulder: "You have always been very independent. I believe you will do well no matter where you go."

Chen Zhou nodded, still without much expression: "Thank you, teacher."

Lin Ximeng smiled, turned around, took out a book from the drawer, and handed it to him: "This is what I prepared for you. It contains a lot of theories and techniques about soul guidance technology. You will definitely use it in Donghai City."

Chen Zhou took the book and flipped through a few pages, discovering that it contained not only basic knowledge but also some advanced practical application cases. He frowned slightly and said, "Teacher, I can find this information at the library anytime. Why do you have to prepare it yourself?"

"You should understand that this book is not just information, it also contains my expectations for you."

Lin Ximeng's tone was gentle, but it was filled with an unshakable firmness.

"Also, the book contains several papers I wrote, so please don't laugh at them.

Chen Zhou looked up, seeing the expectation and concern in Lin Ximeng's eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. However, he still didn't want to relax too much. So, he said softly, "I will try my best."

Lin Ximeng nodded, a faint smile on her lips. She knew that deep down in Chen Zhou's heart, he had a desire for the future, but on the surface he was always so calm that people couldn't get close to him.

To him, every person and every emotion seemed to be separated by a layer of cold glass.

As early as a year ago, she had completely regarded Chen Zhou as her own brother and had long since given up the so-called "investment genius" plan. Chen Zhou was the kind of independent existence who did not need any support, but she could never break the thick layer of defense deep in his heart.

Chen Zhou turned to leave, but stopped at the door. A wave of mixed emotions washed over him. He wanted to say something, but words couldn't express his feelings. Finally, he opened his mouth slightly, only to utter one sentence: "Teacher, thank you for your care over the past three years."

A gentleman does not care about his heart when discussing his deeds. There is no perfect person in the world when it comes to his heart.

Chen Zhou had guessed Lin Ximeng's thoughts almost exactly when she first entered school, but Lin Ximeng was indeed helping him, and the care and encouragement she showed him were real.

Chen Zhou has never been a heartless person. He refuses anyone to knock on the door of his heart, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to be grateful.

"You have to take care of yourself."

He whispered, opened the door, and walked out. Chen Zhou left the office, the sunlight from the corridor streaming through the window onto him, warm but unable to dispel the coldness within him. He glanced down at the book in his hands. The cover read "Soul Guidance Technology and Applications." Lin Ximeng's handwriting was neat and powerful. He gently stroked the spine, a complex mix of emotions welling up in his heart.

"Chen Zhou!" A familiar voice came from behind him. Chen Zhou stopped and looked back, only to see a tall boy running towards him. The boy had a bright smile on his face and his eyes were full of enthusiasm.

"Tang Wulin?"

Chen Zhou frowned slightly, his tone still cold.

Tang Wulin was his classmate at the Elementary Academy. He was cheerful and well-liked, the complete opposite of Chen Zhou. Tang Wulin ran up to Chen Zhou and panted, "I heard you were going to East Sea City?"

Chen Zhou nodded: "Yeah."

"That's perfect. How about we go there together tomorrow?"

Tang Wulin admired Chen Zhou from the bottom of his heart. His extraordinary talent, hard-working attitude and ability to understand knowledge about everything far surpassed his own.

The feeling of being unable to even catch up made Tang Wulin feel lost for a while.

But self-pity wasn't Tang Wulin's nature. He quickly adjusted his mindset and decided to set Chenzhou as his goal, constantly striving to catch up. Although Chenzhou's aloofness made him difficult to approach, Tang Wulin always felt that there was some kind of tacit understanding between them, or rather, he firmly believed that Chenzhou was not as difficult to get along with as he seemed.

"I have already arranged my itinerary, so there is no need to come with me."

Chen Zhou's tone remained cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

Tang Wulin's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. "Oh, I see. I was hoping to have some company on the road, so we could chat about mecha design. You're one of the top experts in our academy, and I'd love to learn more."

Chen Zhou glanced at him, carefully sizing up the bright-eyed boy before him. He knew Tang Wulin genuinely wanted to communicate with him, but he was used to being alone and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.

Although calling on friends can help you gain support and pool your wisdom, it will always make you lose your most original and objective judgment.

In his previous life, Chen Zhou had sealed his emotions. He was obsessed with exploring the transformation of matter and the mysteries of life, and believed that emotions were the biggest obstacle for humans to understand the truth.

In his view, emotions are like a layer of fog that obscures people's insight into the nature of the world.

Joy, sadness, anger, love. Although these emotions give color to life, they also make people fall into subjective prejudice and obsession.

In order to pursue pure truth, Chen Zhou fell into a bottleneck. He pursued the truth and decided to seal his emotions and face the world with absolute rationality.

Yet, sealing off his emotions didn't leave Chen Zhou feeling lonely or empty. On the contrary, he felt an unprecedented freedom. No longer swayed by emotions, he could observe the world with a purer perspective. He delved deeply into the nature of matter, discovering many mysteries previously unexplored.

It was because of this that his alchemy skills reached their peak!
A trace of memory flashed through his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"If you want to learn soul guidance techniques, you can read more books, or go to the intermediate college and ask the teacher for advice."

Chen Zhou said this lightly, then turned around and continued walking forward.

Tang Wulin sighed as he gazed at Chen Zhou's back, but he wasn't surprised. He was used to Chen Zhou's rejections, but he wasn't about to give up. He believed that while Chen Zhou might appear cold and indifferent, he must have a soft side deep down. He believed that one day, he would truly enter Chen Zhou's world.

"Chenzhou, take care!"

Tang Wulin shouted at Chen Zhou's back, "When we get to Donghai City, if there's a chance, we'll meet again!"

Chen Zhou didn't look back, just nodded slightly, and then disappeared at the end of the corridor.
