[Lin Su: Nan Jie, Qiuqiu has evolved. [Image]]
After sending the message, Lin Su briefly browsed the Beastmasters Association forum, and then prepared to set out with Qiuqiu.
However, before he could turn off the communicator, Qin Nan’s reply arrived.
…
Mountain City University’s Evolution Research Institute.
Inside Qin Nan’s laboratory, on an armchair with the back part flattened out, Qin Nan was sleeping soundlessly with her head tilted on the headrest, snoring loudly. The dark circles under her eyes and her snoring like thunder were telling signs of her otherworldly sleep schedule.
“Dingling!”
An especially loud notification sound from the communicator interrupted her snoring.
Qin Nan slowly opened her eyes, and her scattered short hair fell on her delicate features. With her drowsy eyes, she would have looked quite heart-stirring in the morning light if one could ignore the dark circles under her eyes.
But soon, that girl-next-door charm was no more. frёeωebɳovel.com
Those drowsy eyes quickly sharpened, and a murderous intent was revealed through her fierce gaze. Qin Nan grit her teeth and sat up from the recliner, grabbed the still-vibrating communicator on the desk and growled, “Who the hell is disturbing my sleep!”
Seeing the time on the communicator, Qin Nan became even angrier, “I’ve only slept for two hours! Dammit!”
Qin Nan muttered to herself, her face showing dissatisfaction as she turned on the communicator and saw the avatar displayed. She paused slightly, then her eyes flashed with killing intent, “Good job, Lin Su, gallivanting back in District 32 and you even disturb your sister’s sleep, wait until you come back and see how I deal with you.”
Despite her discontented face, Qin Nan still opened the message and began to check it out.
She wanted to see what lame excuse that little brat had for disturbing her sleep.

Qin Nan fell silent for a moment, followed by her eyes widening dramatically.
What the hell?!
Qiuqiu has evolved?!
Is it the Qiuqiu I know?!
The one belonging to the Xue Henqing species?!
Xue Henqing can evolve now?!!
Hiss…
Qin Nan sharply inhaled a breath of cool air. She, who had been slightly drowsy just a moment ago, was now completely alert.
She couldn’t wait to open the image.
Soon, a 3D projection appeared in front of Qin Nan through the display of the communicator.
Looking at the fully new beast form which had some features of Xue Henqing but was far removed from the form of Xue Henqing, Qin Nan’s expression turned intriguing.
You…
She silently opened Lin Su’s social media profile, her eyes settling on his latest post — the one with tens of millions of likes on the comment offering a million federation dollars for the evolved form of Xue Henqing, and equally tens of millions of likes on Lin Su’s reply.
[Lin Su: Reply to Gu Shumo: The next research project is the evolved form of Xue Henqing, stay tuned.]
There was a timestamp in the bottom left corner of this reply.
Three days ago.
Three days!
Only three days have passed since this guy proposed to research the evolution of Xue Henqing!
You really researched the evolved form of Xue Henqing in just three days?!
Lin Su, are you even human?
Qin Nan suddenly felt dumbfounded. Being very fond of Qiuqiu, she had naturally tried to research the evolved form of Xue Henqing before but didn’t make any progress after three months of work.
So annoying!
No, I need to get some clarity!
Qin Nan gritted her teeth and quickly replied.
[Qin Nan: Low, intermediate, or high grade?]
…
Inside the orphanage.
Noticing that Qin Nan replied almost instantly, Lin Su was surprised.
Nan Jie is already awake?
He thought she would still be sleeping in at this hour.
Seems like Nan Jie slept normally last night.
Lin Su smiled slightly and began reading the message.
[Qin Nan: Low, intermediate, or high grade?]
This question…
Lin Su pinched his chin, looking at Qiuqiu who gazed back at him innocently.
In principle, the evolved form that Qiuqiu became, Frost Flower Dream Shadow, should be classified as a high-grade Monarch species.
But if he answered high-grade, and it turned out that the subsequently researched Frost Flower Dream Shadow were a lower grade, wouldn’t that be a bit awkward?

It would be like artificially raising expectations and then finding that reality didn’t meet them.
So…
Lin Su hesitated for a moment, then replied.
[Lin Su: Low grade.]
It wasn’t long before Qin Nan’s reply came through.
[Qin Nan: Just one small rank up, although it’s not bad, you need to keep working hard.]
Hmm?
Seeing Qin Nan’s reply, Lin Su raised an eyebrow, realizing he had misunderstood something.
So Nan Jie’s earlier inquiry about low, intermediate, or high grade… was she asking about the leader species?
It seemed likely, since on Blue Star, evolution being limited to three small ranks had become a common acceptance. The evolution of the high-grade elite species Xue Henqing should indeed be a leader species.
Having been traveling back and forth for so long, he occasionally got the two worlds mixed up and hadn’t considered this earlier.
Thinking this, Lin Su’s expression became strange, and he quickly replied.
[Lin Su: Nan Jie, what I meant was low-grade Monarch species, not low-grade leader species.]
[Qin Nan: ???]
The next moment, a phone call came through.
“Nan Jie, what’s wrong?” Picking up the phone, Lin Su cleared his throat.
“You asking me what’s wrong? You, young man, decide to tell me such news first thing in the morning, aiming to keep me from sleeping, yeah?” On the other end, Qin Nan spoke irritably, “Forget it, no small talk, where are you now?”
“I’m at the orphanage,” Lin Su blinked and answered.
“Alright, stay put, I’m coming over now.” Qin Nan left these words and was about to hang up the phone.
