Qing'er's resources

"Hahaha..."

A giggle escaped her, and a laugh like silver bells suddenly rang out beside Yu Ziyu's ear.

Looking toward the sound, Yu Ziyu discovered an ethereal woman in a fluttering white dress sitting on his treetop, covering her mouth as she laughed aloud, seemingly unable to hold it in.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yu Ziyu asked dubiously, somewhat at a loss as to what Qing'er found so funny.

Ever since Yu Ziyu had told her to keep controlling Ling'er's body, this girl had become almost invisible, rarely speaking.

Still, Yu Ziyu understood.

The girl called Ling'er seemed to have been sent to a secret base by Yan Gaoyuan.

And according to He Qing'er, she now spent all day learning all sorts of things.

It seemed her lessons covered not just combat and spiritual energy cultivation, but all sorts of general knowledge as well.

As a result, He Qing'er naturally had little time to talk to Yu Ziyu.

After remotely controlling Ling'er's body to study for half a day, the first thing this girl did upon returning her consciousness was sink into his roots to replenish her depleted energy.

"Master, are there things even you don't know?"

"Uh..."

Falling silent for once, Yu Ziyu failed to understand what Qing'er meant.

"The honey badger is an omnivore that feeds on small mammals, birds, reptiles, ants, carrion, wild fruit, berries, nuts, and so on. It can prey on highly venomous snakes. According to the military's mutated beast compendium, if this beast successfully mutates, its various strengths and even its resistances will improve. Of course, most importantly, its naturally strong immunity to toxins will also increase exponentially."

"So far, every mutated honey badger discovered has been unafraid of potent toxins."

As she spoke, Qing'er cast a peculiar glance at the distant cave entrance and asked half-jokingly:

"So, my dear master, rather than bullying a honey badger with toxins, you'd be better off whipping it with your branches..."

"..."

Speechless.

He truly had nothing to say.

After staring blankly for a long while, Yu Ziyu still could not find any words.

He had been utterly outclassed in knowledge.

Although he knew honey badgers had terrifying resistance to toxins, he had gotten carried away playing around. How could he have noticed that detail?

Not to mention, there was something here he had not known-the honey badger's resistance to toxins actually increased exponentially after mutation.

"Ahem..."

After a long while, Yu Ziyu gave a dry cough, seemingly to conceal his embarrassment.

Then his gaze returned to Qing'er, who sat on his treetop with her little snow-white feet raised, and he asked dubiously:

"It seems you've gained quite a lot from the humans."

Qing'er chuckled but said little.

A moment later, she charmingly brushed aside a lock of blue hair that obscured her eyes, then gently stroked Yu Ziyu's thick trunk with one hand.

"This is what I've gained during this time."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a string of images flooded into Yu Ziyu's mind.

It was like footage from a bird's-eye perspective, or watching a 3D blockbuster.

Yu Ziyu clearly saw the girl named He Ling'er arrive at a mysterious place.

This place truly was mysterious.

It seemed to be deep underground. Just riding a black elevator felt to Yu Ziyu as though it took five or six minutes.

Then an enormous city came into view.

Yes, a city.

A city built underground.

Looking up, Yu Ziyu saw a huge sign engraved with the words "Spiritual Energy Research Institute."

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Ziyu let out a deep breath.

Looking up, he discovered that Qing'er had already sunk into his roots and chosen to sleep.

"You've had it hard."

With a sigh, Yu Ziyu realized just how hard things had been for this girl lately.

The Spiritual Energy Research Institute, as its name suggested, was a Federation institution that researched spiritual energy.

However, rather than an institution, it would have been more fitting to call it an academy.

Apart from the many humans who had awakened talents, even more of those inside were professors.

And this institution existed for two purposes.

One was naturally to research spiritual energy, while the second was to train Transcendents.

As a girl who had awakened a fire-elemental talent and been called a "genius" the moment she entered, He Ling'er had naturally attracted several professors' attention upon her arrival.

And to live up to Yu Ziyu's expectations and better conceal her identity, "Qing'er" had chosen to play the obedient girl, following the various arrangements made by the professors.

Had she not complied, things would have been fine, but once she did, something major happened.

After all, while "Qing'er's" body had awakened a fire-elemental talent, she herself had also awakened a psychic-attribute talent.

And what did that mean?

The full development of her brain-not only could she interfere with reality through spiritual power, but she also learned things far faster than ordinary people.

Before the astonished, delighted eyes of one professor after another, a prodigy beyond countless people's imaginations was born.

In just under half a day, she completely mastered a human language.

In just a few hours, she had learned a spiritual energy cultivation method that humans called "the most difficult to practice"...

Breaking one record after another, "Qing'er" became the most closely watched girl at the Spiritual Energy Research Institute for a time.

Its resources were also allocated much more heavily to her.

Of course, the price was that "Qing'er" had endless things to do every day.

Apart from the necessary spiritual energy cultivation, she studied all sorts of varied subjects, all of which benefited her.

And learning the habits and weaknesses of various mutated beasts.

Was also one of her compulsory subjects.

As a result, "Qing'er" naturally understood the honey badger's immunity to potent toxins.
