“This…”
The research director was confused.
What was the meaning of this?
It had clearly answered the first 19 questions very well.
Why did it get the simplest question wrong?
The researchers looked at each other and did not know what to do.
“How do you usually teach this little guy?”
The research director vaguely guessed something.
“I just teach it normally.” Wang Che coughed, “Maybe the caterpillar saw its name and subconsciously wanted to choose.”
“Why don’t we try again?” a researcher suggested.
“No need, no need.” Wang Che waved his hand, “It’s okay if the score is lower.”
Then, Wang Che patted the green caterpillar’s head.
Look at how proud this guy was.
“That’s true.”
The director did not ask further. It would not affect him much.
At most, it would be a comment: above nine years old, below ten years old.
“Its intelligence is indeed higher than most of the soul pets that came to test.” The research director waved his hand and said, “Prepare for the next test, intimacy.”
Intimacy was an expression of emotions.
How could one test the intimacy between a soul pet and its master?
First of all, it was the same as before.
A questionnaire was required.
As a Contract Soul Master, he needed to fill in the basic information of soul pets, their daily preferences, their working hours, their mood changes, and so on.
After the questionnaire was completed, the researchers would test the green caterpillar to determine the score.
Finally, he had to complete a task with a soul pet. The higher the completion rate, the higher the intimacy.
Different soul pets required different things to complete.
After Wang Che filled in the questionnaire, he scored full marks.
He knew everything about the green caterpillar.
He had been accompanying it since birth.
Even its hobbies were cultivated by him.
“Very good. You seem to understand your green caterpillar very well. If you don’t infuse your own emotions into the cultivation process, you won’t understand it so well.” The research director nodded in satisfaction. “Next, it will depend on the green caterpillar’s feelings for you.”
“First of all, Student Wang, enter the circle on stage.”
“Around the circle, there will be layers of flames with higher temperatures. You can’t leave that circle.”
“What the green caterpillar has to do is to come and save you.”
“From hesitation to decision and entry, the shorter the time, the deeper its feelings for you.”
“If it can enter the circle within ten seconds, it means that your intimacy is very high.”
This test was very interesting.
Most bugs were afraid of fire.
When the Contract Soul Master was deep in a predicament that it feared, as a soul pet, whether or not it was afraid of being hurt, it had to save its Contract Soul Master.
This was very important.
The life contract was most profound in this aspect.
The deeper the relationship between a soul pet and a Contract Soul Master, the higher the level of the life contract between the two, the more illogical changes would occur.
However, this test was extremely difficult.
“For the test of intimacy, so far, none of the students have a soul pet that can pass.” The research director said, “Students all think that they are very close to their soul pets. However, that is only because they live together every day. Without spending adequate time and experiencing suffering together, the intimacy between a Contract Soul Master and a soul pet will never truly appear.”
“Therefore, we simulated this environment to test the intimacy between different soul pets and Contract Soul Masters.”
“Of course, because it’s only a simulation, there’s still a difference from the actual situation.”
“But if it can’t even pass the test in a simulated environment, it would be even more impossible in real life.”
This test made sense.
Wang Che did not deny it.
He arrived at the center of the stage and quickly saw layers of flames.
This was quite a large area.
To him, it would not cause much harm.
But from the outside, it was still very dangerous.
“When the time starts, you can encourage the green caterpillar to come and save you. That will depend on whether you have deep feelings for each other.”
The research director reminded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a researcher beside him left and said, “The time starts now.”
The green caterpillar watched from the side and did not have any intention of entering.
It was still afraid of flames.
Although it had absorbed the fire life force, its entire body was burning with flames when it was struck by the Raging Flame Strike.
However, that was because a layer of soul power had been attached to its skin, isolating it from the flames.
Therefore, the flames on its body had no contact with it.
Otherwise, when this move was used, if the enemy did not die, it would be the first to die.
Wang Che: “…”
Many researchers watched with interest.
This test tested the Contract Soul Masters and students the most.
This was because their soul pets had not experienced too many hardships. Their affinity was actually very low and their emotions were not very deep.
Therefore, not to mention that a soul pet could enter in ten seconds, it was already not bad if it could not retreat.
This could not be blamed on soul pets.
They were not intelligent now and had not experienced much with Contract Soul Masters.
It was impossible for them to have the resolve to hurt or even sacrifice themselves when facing something they were naturally afraid of.
Normally, as long as a soul pet didn’t retreat, their affinity wasn’t zero.
“It’s been three seconds. The green caterpillar did not retreat. Not bad. It seems that even Wang Che can only do this.”
The research director nodded, not surprised.
The green caterpillar continued to watch.
It looked at Wang Che, hesitant.
The flames looked quite threatening.
Wang Che: “…”
‘Good fellow, I raised you for nothing.’
Time passed.
When the researchers thought that this was the end,
Wang Che suddenly said, “Today, I’ll… read you two chapters!”
The green caterpillar’s eyes lit up, and its retreating footsteps immediately stopped.
Then, it crawled forward.
Everyone was shocked.
“Three chapters!”
Without any hesitation, the green caterpillar flicked its tail and rushed into the fire, braving the flames.
It landed accurately in front of Wang Che and even used its tail to pat the ground.
All the researchers, including the director, were stunned.
What was going on?
Just now, the green caterpillar was clearly still retreating. Wang Che had only said one sentence, but its courage seemed to have reached its limit?
Looking at the way it rushed in without any hesitation, it was simply amazing!
The flames quickly extinguished.
Wang Che brought the green caterpillar down.
“Impressive! Eight seconds… this result is the best we have so far.” The research director sighed, “It’s too incredible. Many students tried encouraging their soul pets, but they haven’t had the same effect as you. They won’t charge in…”
“Moreover, your words don’t seem to be encouraging it… This green caterpillar is really strange.”
“Hmm… It’s a secret code.” Wang Che could only answer.
“No matter what, it came to save you. This is enough to show that you have a deep relationship.”
Result: Deep intimacy.
Wang Che glanced at the green caterpillar.
Green caterpillar: (・ ́ω`・)
They were indeed very close.
He would go back and increase the training intensity from now on.
The researchers in the room quickly carried out the next test.
“The last is telepathy. The increase in the life contract will strengthen your telepathy. It will understand your every command.”
The researcher smiled and said, “With just a glance, it will know what you mean. Mental telepathy is very strange. Other than some mental-type soul pets with natural telepathy or martial souls, you and your soul pets will have to experience the telepathy between yourselves.”
This test was also very simple.
If it needed to be silent, the Contract Soul Master could just order his soul pet to use a soul skill.
Wang Che and the green caterpillar completed the task perfectly.
Because with a glance from Wang Che, the green caterpillar obediently used its soul skill, Spit Thread.
They had a tacit understanding.
Many researchers were speechless.
That was because they felt that this was not an ordinary telepathy.
It was more like a tacit understanding that had been ingrained from training.. It was a little far-fetched to call it telepathy.
