The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao at the food with a calm mood. He did not speak much and went inside the room. Feng Yun did not bother with him but asked Laohu Bai, "What did you say to him?" 

Laohu Bai replied, "He was restless because he did not have a goal for his mundane life in this world. He had achieved all his previous goals. Since he wanted to have a goal, I gave him one and a few." 

Feng Yun asked, "What is this goal?"

"Stepping out to the sea of stars." replied, Laohu Bai. 

Feng Yun opened her eyes wide and said, "You know what will happen once, he achieves that? The humans on this planet are all greedy, they will all start to rush to devour everything they can stand on." 

Laohu Bai smiled and replied, "That is the second goal. To teach people to be restrained. To teach them how to not exploit things. Also, I passed your test." 

Feng Yun suddenly smiled and said, "You did. Thank you for the hard work, Xiao Bai." 

Laohu Bai flicked her hair and said, "Not a big deal." 

The two ladies gazed at each other and then they let out a peal of laughter. 

...

Yang Dao sat on the floor of his room, with his eyes closed. Sushi was swimming in the void around him, she was talking to Amber. 

"Sister Amber, what do you think? How long will it take Master to reach the pinnacle of the water element?" Sushi spoke with her spiritual skills. 

Amber was inside the ring, she replied, "I have no idea. In the noon, when Lord Atsuji guided him, Master broke through the first level. Then in the evening, he became restless about something, and only when Lady Bai came did he calm down. So, you can try and make a guess yourself." 

Sushi nodded with a humm. She did not know how would Yang Dao achieve this. She sighed and gave up thinking about it. Yang Dao was not disturbed by what the two entities in his room were doing, he meditated over things and his elemental practice as well. As the sun came up on the horizon he opened his eyes. 

He stood up and went to take a shower. He called Feng Yun and asked her to make a partition inside the lab at the office for him to work separately. Feng Yun did not mind and asked the staff to install a partition wall in the lab. Frieda Foster was the sole ruler of the lab. She found that the partition was being installed because Yang Dao was going to carry out some research work. She was very interested in what the young man would do. 

... 

It took the people one full day to make the lab as per instructions. Yang Dao came in after the workday was finished and people were clocking out of the office. He greeted the employees with a smile and the people were shocked to see his waist-long mane. The charm he had was broken to a level where females would even stop breathing for the time when they see him. 

Yang Dao got inside the elevator followed by the RALF bot. They came to the lab. Frieda Foster saw him walking in from the glass wall of her part of the lab. She was surprised by his long hair. Yang Dao found her gaze locked on him and looked back at her. He greeted her with a wave of his hand. He came to her lab and asked, "How have you been?" 

The lady nodded and said, "I am fine. What is with the look?" 

Yang Dao smiled and said, "Sister Yun." as he shrugged. Frieda understood that it was because of Feng Yun that he had put this hairstyle. 

The two had a small chat and then Yang Dao came to his room. In his part of the lab, there was just a computer, printer, a shredder, and a pile of drafting paper. He said, "RALF, you are here for security. Stay on stand by and act if someone is approaching. You will inform me before they come in." 

The bot nodded and stood at the door of his lab. Inside the lab, a bed was also placed. It was for Yang Dao's convenience. The Dao Child took a seat in front of the computer and began to first learn about 'ROCKET SCIENCE'. 

His speed of learning was good but the amount he had to learn was also very big. He did not know how much time he had spent reading the books on the screen and taking down notes. He was also given an honorary student ID at the university, using which he communicated with global peak space researchers. 

The boy did not leave the lab for anything expect, bathing and to attend natural calls. His speed and persistence were shocking. The people in the company were aware that the young master was staying indoors for a week, and did not leave for even a single day. This made them all work in high spirits.  Although the young master had come to the office in a long time, they were aware every time he came, things became busier and the world changed. 

Frieda would have interactions with Yang Dao during their mealtime and when she found out that he was charging to the space, she was surprised. She also began to look forward to the result of his research. 

Feng Yun had a building identical to her Ruby Towers made next to it to serve as the head office of the Dao Technologies. She had a skywalk made between the two buildings and connected them. The next big news was that the company had commissioned an architect to build an air tunnel in the twin tower. 

After the construction was completed, Yang Dao had spent a total of three months in his research to design an aircraft model. This styrofoam model was created with the help of a three-dimensional printer and was to be tested in the air tunnel. 

This model was named Fluid. Yang Dao had not even once taken any assistance from RALF for this. During these three months, the boy had broken through the second level of water element as well. He did not rush forward, but practiced like a river, slowly nourishing the lands.
