The two ate pastries outside.

Dang Changming wasn't in the mood for pastries; he simply picked up his tea and sipped it slowly.

Shi Wen sat next to Dang Changming and could feel his heart beating very fast, faster than normal.

His heart rate probably wasn't that fast before.

They waited silently outside.

A moment later, Xing Mingyue came out and said, "Shi Wen's Divinity is now 170,000 and his Abilities is 168,000, both about five times higher than before. Judging from the data, he is already God-Level Abilities User."

Dang Changming looked at Shi Wen, "As expected of you, congratulations!"

Only when both the Abilities and Divinity stats exceed 100,000 can one be considered God-Level Abilities User.

Shi Wen originally thought it would take him eight or ten years to become God-Level Abilities User, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and he felt a mix of emotions.

He and Yan Kexing a glance.

Yan Kexing put his arm around his shoulder and kissed him on the hair.

Xing Mingyue handed over a thick report, one copy for each person. "The details are written in the report. Shi Wen's current development is very normal, just like the development process that a young Qilin goes through. However, compared to other Qilin, most of the parts of your body are changing, rather than growing back."

Shi Wen looked at the various technical terms on the report but didn't quite understand them. He only knew that his report was fine and that he was in good health.

He looked up at Yan Kexing.

Yan Kexing's eyes held a hint of a smile as he whispered, "I'll tell you when we get back."

Xing Mingyue immediately replied, "You can ask me anything you don't understand, and I can explain it to you directly. I'm always available."

Dang Changming stopped him, saying, "It's getting late, let's eat first. We can talk after lunch."

Xing Mingyue had no objections.

This was a lunch that no one could enjoy. After lunch, Dang Changming arranged for someone to Shi Wen and Yan Kexing to rest.

The rest area is located within the base; once inside, you'll find suites that look no different from a five-star hotel.

Shi Wen went to wash her face and finally felt a bit more relaxed.

He was genuinely nervous just now; if Yan Kexing hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face.

He asked Yan Kexing, "What will the Abnormal Affairs Bureau do to me next?"

Yan Kexing, "They'll probably adjust your rank within the entire Abnormal Affairs Bureau first, then ask us to cooperate with their research, before letting us return to the ranch."

Shi Wen, "Is that all? Then isn't it no different from what we have now?"

"What other difference do you want?" Yan Kexing laughed. "You're a special case, a true-blue member of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau."

Yan Kexing: "Ever since they learned that you had awakened the Qilin Bloodline, they've studied you for so long but haven't figured it out. They can only let you go back and develop at your own pace. At most, they might help guide other Variant Beasts or Abilities."

Shi Wen laughed too, "I don't know either, I just feel a bit uneasy right now, like I'm floating."

Yan Kexing: "You'll probably settle down after a while, and maybe you'll even become a proper little Qilin in time."

Shi Wen became interested. "Is it the same as the pictures we found?"

Yan Kexing: "No, those pictures are just drawings made by the ancients based on their imagination. You'll only know what a real Qilin looks like when you actually become Qilin."

Shi Wen turned his head and glanced at his own tail. "I feel that the Qilin they imagine isn't too different from the reality, at least that's what it looks like from the tail."

Yan Kexing: "Completely different. The Qilin in the picture doesn't have such a cute tail."

Yan Kexing spoke, he reached out to pinch it.

Shi Wen's eyes widened, and he quickly backed away. "You can't do that! If you pinch my tail, I'll fall right here."

Yan Kexing smiled and said, "Your tail feels nice to the touch."

"No matter how good it is, I can't pinch it. This is my newly discovered Achilles' heel." Shi Wen tightly protected his tail, glanced at it again, and said, "Can this tail be retracted? I can't retract it myself."

Yan Kexing: "Try to find that feeling of retracting your wings before?"

Shi Wen turned his head. "I looked for it, but it feels completely different. Maybe the wings could retract on their own? This tail feels like an extension of my bones, as if I was meant to have a tail, so it can't retract at all."

Yan Kexing: "Just like Brother Monkey."

Shi Wen paused for a moment before realizing what he was talking about. "So, does that mean I'll have to cut a hole in my underwear to hold my tail from now on? Besides, Monkey King's tail isn't showing, is it?"

Yan Kexing smirked. "When it gets a little longer, try wrapping it around your waist?"

Shi Wen: "..."

The two gradually relaxed as they talked about this topic.

Shi Wen feel a bit sleepy, maybe because I was too tense before, or maybe because I've been up and about all day. Now that I'm relaxing, sleepiness is washing over me like waves.

Yan Kexing said, "Let's get some sleep. They shouldn't be looking for us for the time being."

Shi Wen frowned. "It's a bit difficult to adjust my position; I keep pressing on it, which is uncomfortable."

Yan Kexing: "I'll put my arm around you."

Shi Wen leaned against Yan Kexing's arm, which held her close, and she finally had a comfortable afternoon nap.

When he woke up, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Dang Changming came to visit them, he invited them to dinner.

The Abnormal Affairs Bureau didn't seem to have any particular concerns about his tail, probably because he was Abilities under their Abnormal Affairs Bureau, and the two sides had always cooperated very well. He was willing to cooperate with the Abnormal Affairs Bureau whenever needed.

So now, Dang Changming and the others have decided in a meeting to ask him to return to the ranch and live a normal life as usual.

If there are other collaborations or other needs, the Abnormal Affairs Bureau will contact him again.

Shi Wen yawned and said, "Let's go back tomorrow then. It's too late to move around much tonight."
