Chapter 293: Seeing Susan Again
Night fell and enveloped the entire Los Angeles.
The headquarters of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s Earth Branch in the suburbs was still brightly lit. The research institute located in the southwest corner could even see figures moving. It could be seen that they were extremely busy.
Tahm Kench’s eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he was already in a state of exhaustion. However, his expression revealed an extremely excited and even excited appearance. From time to time, he would loudly command his subordinates beside him and give orders.
“Great! That’s it… that’s it…”
Looking at the rows of data continuously sliding down the virtual screen in front of him, Tahm Kench kept muttering, looking especially excited.
He was indeed not wrong!
This Chu Nan contained qualities that other martial artists did not possess. Not only could he easily cultivate various types of Internal Breath cultivation methods with completely different styles, he could even adjust these cultivation methods according to Tahm Kench’s requirements at any time, allowing the data of the experiment to be more perfect and comprehensive.
Just this point alone was far superior to all the other martial artists participating in this experiment.
Not to mention that he seemed to have an extraordinary understanding and control of his body. No matter what cultivation method he cultivated, he could accurately determine what effect this Internal Breath cultivation method had on his body before the human data analysis report was out. Then, he immediately made a very accurate judgment and adjusted it.
The various cultivation methods given to him by Tahm Kench were gathered by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce through various methods. Because they were all relatively low-level cultivation methods, there were naturally many flaws and unsatisfactory aspects.
…
However, when Chu Nan cultivated these cultivation methods, it was very easy to find these flaws and unsatisfactory points. Then, after a few cultivation sessions, he completely modified them to match his own condition, increasing the effect of this cultivation method much stronger than before.
Tahm Kench was also a good martial artist. Of course, he knew how difficult it was to modify a cultivation method that had already taken shape, let alone modify it completely according to his own situation.
However, Chu Nan could easily do it.
Tahm Kench could not understand the reason for this and could only call it talent.
Of course, this reason was not important to him. What was important was that Chu Nan had modified a targeted cultivation method to allow the research team to collect more varied data changes from him. It was more helpful to the current experimental research.
It could even be said that the research data gathered from Chu Nan today was comparable to the years of research the Chamber of Commerce had done on the ten martial artists.
Such an extremely precious experimental individual, Tahm Kench wanted to lock him in the laboratory and study him non-stop every day.
However, this was clearly unrealistic.
Just as Tahm Kench picked a relatively special Internal Breath cultivation method and got the staff to place it on the virtual screen in front of Chu Nan, he suddenly straightened his back and jumped down.
Tahm Kench was stunned and hurriedly rushed into the laboratory.
“What? Is there a problem?” Tahm Kench asked with concern.
The current Chu Nan was simply his most precious treasure in his heart. He did not want any accidents to happen to him in the experiment.
“There’s no problem, but I’m tired. Let’s end today’s experiment here.” Chu Nan shook his head.
“Hmm?” Tahm Kench was stunned. He turned to look at the window of the laboratory and discovered that it was already dark outside. He thought for a moment and tried to ask, “Erm… can you last a while longer? Let me collect more data?”
“I’m afraid not.” Chu Nan shook his head again, “I’ve cultivated too many martial techniques today and my mind is a little weak. If this continues, my Internal Breath might be in chaos and I might even go berserk.”
Tahm Kench widened his eyes and stared at Chu Nan’s eyes. Although he knew that he was definitely talking nonsense, since Chu Nan had said so, he could not force him to continue the experiment.
Moreover, what Chu Nan said was not impossible.
It was not strange for a martial artist to forcefully cultivate a brand new Internal Breath cultivation method in a mentally exhausted state and cause their Internal Breath to lose control.
“Alright, that’s all for today. Tomorrow…”
“I won’t be coming tomorrow.” Chu Nan interrupted him, “There’s less than a week until the start of school. I have to make a trip home before school starts. Otherwise, the next time I return will be at least a year later.”
“Then… Alright.” Tahm Kench could only sigh helplessly, “In any case, as you said last time, you’ll still have to study in Star Cloud Academy. With a lot of time on Earth, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to continue cooperating in research in the future.”
“Yes, as long as I have time in the future, I’ll try my best to come over.” Chu Nan smiled, “To be honest, I still rely on you for my tuition and living expenses in Star Cloud Academy.”
Tahm Kench laughed, “You don’t have to worry about that. The reward the Chamber of Commerce pays you is definitely enough for you to easily complete your studies in Star Cloud Academy. Moreover, if you really feel that it’s not enough, you can choose to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce in a deeper manner. For example… how about we sign a long-term cooperation contract?”
“There’s no need. I think this is pretty good.” Chu Nan decisively rejected Tahm Kench’s suggestion.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Tahm Kench personally sent Chu Nan to the entrance of the branch headquarters.
“I’ve already gotten the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a shuttle over. The driver will bring you to the hotel under the Chamber of Commerce in the city. Rest well. It’s been hard on you today.”
Tahm Kench instructed Chu Nan and patted his shoulder before turning around to leave in a hurry.
From the looks of it, he probably wanted to rush back to the experiment to continue his research.
“Scientists are all research maniacs…” Chu Nan shook his head. Before he could turn around, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
“Heh, Chu Nan, we meet again.”
Hearing this voice, the corners of Chu Nan’s mouth curled into a smile.
“I was still wondering if the person who came to pick me up was you again. After all, only…” Chu Nan turned around and was about to raise his hand to greet when he was suddenly stunned.
The person who appeared in front of him should undoubtedly be Susan who picked him up at the airport last time. However, the current Susan’s hair was neat and tidy, and there was no disorder at all. Her face also did not have any exaggerated makeup like the last time, and she was even wearing a decent and close-fitting formal suit. No matter how he looked at it, she looked like a very standard working woman. How could he see the appearance of a hooligan last time?

The shuttle parked beside her did not have any special decorations on the surface. The picture that was not suitable for children had already disappeared. The entire car looked ordinary and belonged to the type that no one would look at if it was thrown on the street. It was completely different from its previous ostentatiousness.
Compared to the last time he saw her, it was as if she was a completely different person.
However, as soon as she spoke, her true nature was immediately exposed.
“What? Does this look more to your taste? If you like it, why don’t we find a hotel now? Or do you prefer to fight in the wild?”
