“Okay.”
After hearing Qin Nan’s words, Lin Su nodded slightly.
The Cold Frost Dream Domain belonged to the illusion and mental attack type of Spirit abilities. Unlike skills like Frost Silence Storm, which didn’t affect the user after being cast, opponents who endured the Cold Frost Dream Domain and were stronger than oneself could easily cause a backlash of the skill.
Although the Thunder Horned Leopard was not a Spirit beast, it was still a leader-level existence. The likelihood of a backlash after releasing the Cold Frost Dream Domain was almost one hundred percent; this was why, until the very last moment, Lin Su had never thought about letting Qiuqiu use the Cold Frost Dream Domain against the Thunder Horned Leopard.
Unexpectedly, in order to save himself, Qiuqiu did it anyway.
The backlash it suffered was of a mental nature; after resting in the Beast Taming Space for about two to three hours, it had already recovered quite a bit.
To fully recover would still require some time, but summoning it to let Qin Nan see was no longer a problem.
Moreover, Qin Nan’s mushroom baby possessed the Vitality Breath skill, which could to some extent boost the mental state and also benefited Qiuqiu’s healing.
A pale yellow light flashed, and Qiuqiu appeared in Lin Su’s arms.
Seeing Qiuqiu’s listless appearance, Qin Nan also guessed that the little guy must have been injured. Heartachingly taking it from Lin Su’s arms, she quickly summoned her mushroom baby and, while letting the mushroom baby heal Qiuqiu, she carefully observed Qiuqiu’s new form.
After a while, Qin Nan gently placed Qiuqiu on the wide, soft umbrella cap of the mushroom baby for it to continue receiving treatment. Her gaze shifted to Lin Su, “It’s indeed a new evolution, judging by the normal energy levels, it should belong to the monarch species.”
If it weren’t for Qiuqiu’s poor condition and the impracticality on the transport plane, Qin Nan would have been eager to let Qiuqiu demonstrate its abilities right away.
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, “What attribute? This might be the first case of an evolution spanning more than three minor ranks. If the research results are published, you might become famous again.”
“I don’t want to be famous again,” Lin Su said with a wry smile, shaking his head, “Spirit type.”
“Deep Sleep and Dream?” Qin Nan’s eyes widened in surprise, then she realized, “That makes sense. Qiuqiu had incidentally mastered this evolutionary skill, so it’s normal for you to try this approach, but…”
Her voice trailed off, her expression turning odd, “Even so, figuring out a new evolution in just three days is too incredible, isn’t it?!”
“Is there a possibility…” Seeing Qiuqiu steadily improving under the mushroom baby’s treatment, Lin Su’s mood also lightened. He coughed lightly and said, “that I was just lucky?”
Qin Nan: “…”
Damned good luck! freēwebnovel.com
But then again, there seemed to be no other explanations.
She shook her head helplessly, “No wonder Xue Henqing’s evolution has never been found. It seems that this little guy’s evolution is of the Spirit type. How could it be discovered without identifying the Spirit evolutionary skill?”
“Indeed,” Lin Su nodded in agreement.
Even in the world of Spirit Warriors, Xue Henqing had only this type of evolution.
“Next, you will start studying the stable evolutionary pathways?”
“Yes, Qiuqiu’s evolution was an accidental incident. The research for a stable evolutionary pathway also needs to be scheduled,” Lin Su nodded, “I have already submitted the project application report this morning.”
“Then there shouldn’t be any problem,” Qin Nan stretched her body lazily, “Grandpa Du was still praising you yesterday for earning some reputation for our Mountain City University Evolution Research Institute. With your research project, it should be a breeze, right?”
The two chatted intermittently, and soon, the transport plane landed in District 11.
During their conversation, Qiuqiu had also regained its spirit with the help of the mushroom baby. Although the frost patterns in its vertical pupils were still a bit dim, they no longer affected its normal activities.
After putting Qiuqiu back into the Beast Taming Space to continue its recuperation, Lin Su followed Qin Nan off the plane.
Back at the research institute, he put his luggage back in his dorm and was just about to go for lunch when the communicator suddenly beeped.
He saw that the review application he had submitted was approved, and the corresponding research resources along with the Xue Henqing samples would start arriving from tomorrow.
Tomorrow, huh…
After reading the notification of the approval, Lin Su fell into thought.
It seemed he had forgotten something.
What was it again…
Oh right, that senior sister offering a million alliance coins!
A million — he had never seen that many alliance coins in his entire life.
Contribution points don’t count.
Without any hesitation, Lin Su opened his social media platform, ignored the slew of follow, like, private message, and comment notifications, and went straight to the account that had replied to him that day, messaging it.
[Lin Su: Senior sister, my Xue Henqing has already evolved, and the stable evolutionary pathway for Xue Henqing is currently under research. Is your previous offer still valid?]
The senior sister named Gu Shumo replied instantly.
[Gu Shumo: ???]
Lin Su pinched his chin and sent over the 3D photo of Qiuqiu he had taken earlier.
[Lin Su: [Image]]
This time, after waiting quite awhile, Gu Shumo finally responded.
[Gu Shumo: Big shot! Are you currently in District 11? Can I treat you to a meal, and we can discuss in detail?] Find more chapters on m_v l|e-NovelFire
A meal, huh…
Lin Su blinked.
He was just getting hungry.
[Lin Su: Okay.]
…
Upon learning that Lin Su was at the research institute, Gu Shumo chose a restaurant near Mountain City University with a good rating. Famished, Lin Su quickly gathered his things and prepared to head out.
