[Ruan Mei developed Friendship toward you. Gained 860 Friendship points. Current Friendship Level: Lv.9 (343/900)]
Li Qiuzhi looked at the Character Panel that popped up, a satisfied expression on his face.
It was already noon. Li Qiuzhi had spent half the day cooperating with Ruan Mei's research, which had involved studying his mind, his blood, and so on.
Naturally, this had made her develop some Friendship toward Li Qiuzhi, on top of the Friendship gained from spending several hours together.
And so, her level had naturally reached nine.
Li Qiuzhi looked at Ruan Mei, who was absorbed in studying a drop of his blood. After a moment's thought, he said:
"My strength has improved quite a bit recently, so this probably isn't something you can figure out just by taking a quick look."
As he spoke, he put on a troubled expression.
"But I have things to do, too. I can't keep watching you work, and having your research interrupted halfway through probably wouldn't be a very pleasant experience."
Ruan Mei glanced at him, seemingly asking what he wanted to do.
Through her research just now, she had discovered that Li Qiuzhi's mind and genes were stronger than anything she had ever encountered, many times more powerful than even an "Emanator."
He was the living being closest to an Aeon that she had ever encountered. Ruan Mei truly did not want to miss this research opportunity, but Li Qiuzhi was rather cautious and insisted on watching in person before allowing her to study him.
There was nothing she could do, though. She could only accommodate him.
"How about setting up a laboratory at my place? That way, I won't have to make a special trip here, and I can check on your experiments whenever I want."
