“The attack on Lin Su was ordered by the Eastern God of the Beast Cult, planned and executed by the last steward of the 32nd district of the Beast Cult, Tang Meng. Tang Meng was killed by me, four members of the Beast Cult were captured and are currently being interrogated, hoping to eradicate the entire branch of the 32nd district,”
“In this incident, several third and fourth-level resources were seized, including one sixth-level resource. This sixth-level resource was the pet beast of the Beast Cult steward Tang Meng, the core of the Fear Demon Statue’s eyes. Another of Tang Meng’s leader-level pet beasts was shattered to pieces during the fight, and there was no time to recover any resources…”
With her legs crossed, Qin Nan was sitting in her research lab, sending a message to someone unknown, when suddenly a notification sound from a communication device made her momentarily pause her typing.
“What is it at this hour? Let’s see…” Qin Nan muttered softly, minimizing the text box she was typing in, and opened the email flashing with a little red dot next to it.
“Lin Su’s research application was approved?” Qin Nan nodded, “As expected, let’s see what evolutionary material this guy has actually used.”
Saying this, she curiously opened the details of the application and started examining them. Your next read is at m v|l-e’m,p| y- r
Although Lin Su was officially a researcher, he was still divided into the same project group as Qin Nan, and as a member of the same group with higher authority, Qin Nan had the right to check Lin Su’s application report.
Of course, her doing this was mostly out of curiosity.
This was the first time an evolution had skipped more than three minor ranks. If not for Qiuqiu’s body not being fully recovered, given Qin Nan’s research-obsessed nature, she would surely have dragged it into studying without hesitation.
As she looked, Qin Nan’s brow furrowed slightly.
Her gaze gradually settled on an item listed in the application’s resource list.
Sixth-level resource, the core of the Eye of the Fear Demon Statue.
“This kid…” After pondering for a moment, Qin Nan minimized the application, opened a certain interface, and started browsing.
After entering Lin Su’s identification details, it wasn’t long before his contribution point usage records appeared on the screen.
He couldn’t possibly list such a sixth-level Spiritual resource in his research application for no reason.
Therefore, there was a high probability that Qiuqiu’s evolution had used this resource.
However, there was no record of any transaction involving the Eye Core of the Fear Demon Statue in the contribution point usage records.
“This idiot.” She couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Doesn’t he know that supernatural resources above sixth level are regulated resources, only exchangeable through contribution points, and moreover, each usage is recorded by the central intelligence?”
“In the end, it’s still me who has to clean up the mess,” Qin Nan said as her fingers lightly tapped the screen, preparing to execute some operation.
Her actions paused slightly, her eyes revealing a conflicted expression.
Where did this kid get such valuable resources?
Some underground black market, or… the Beast Cult?
Even though the Beast Cult had just made an assassination attempt on Lin Su, this possibility was not very likely, but still, she couldn’t help but have some doubts.
“Lin Su…” Qin Nan murmured softly, biting her lip, “Having secrets is fine, but if I find out you have ties with the Beast Cult, I’ll strike you down myself!”
Her finger fell, beginning to draft an explanation document for the regulated resource gift.
After submission, Qin Nan’s fingers lightly swiped, returning to the report she was initially writing.
After pondering for a moment, she quietly deleted the line about the confiscated sixth-level resource.
…
It has to be said, as a rich woman, Gu Shumo was quite competent.
The restaurant she had booked, though a bit out of the way, was elegant in style, and each dish was exceptionally delicious.
After finishing their business talks, the dishes were served one after another, and both Lin Su and Qiuqiu ate with great satisfaction.
After dinner, having declined the rich woman’s movie invitation, Lin Su took Qiuqiu back to the research institute.
The Frost Silence Storm required the simultaneous use of ice-based and spiritual powers, but because of the backlash from the Cold Frost Dream Domain still not being fully healed, Qiuqiu could not easily use spiritual power at the moment. In order to enable a better recovery, the previously set plan to train the Frost Silence Storm also had to be postponed.
“Meow… (*꒦ິω꒦ີ)” (I c
Learning that it couldn’t train due to injuries felt like a sudden thunderbolt, and Qiuqiu’s expression gradually became more pitiful.
Damn it!
It was already so weak, without immediate training, how could it protect Lin Su properly?
“Qiuqiu, stop fussing.” Lin Su, half-laughing, picked up Qiuqiu and gently rubbed its small head, “Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, and forcibly using spiritual power could cause irreversible damage, which would be worse. Go rest in the Beast Taming Space, with its help, you can recover completely by the afternoon.”
Even though it understood Lin Su’s words, Qiuqiu was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
“Meow!” (I can train ice-based skills!)
“Meow, meow!” (I’m too weak, I must become stronger!)
Lin Su remained silent, his hands tightening slightly on Qiuqiu.
“I know you are very worried about me, but being hasty is useless,” Lin Su said with a slight smile. “Even if you want to break through the leader level, you have to wait until my Beast Taming Space reaches the fourth level. I’m still far from the third level, and the higher the level of the Beast Taming Space, the harder it is to upgrade.”
