Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1909: Chapter 1904: Miracle Buzzwords

Of course, Stoss recognized Professor Fu from the Academy, who was none other than the brave citizen Fang Xun from Shangjing not long ago.

On the Chief’s side, a formal application had already been submitted, hoping that the Chief Poison Master under her, along with the bookstore owner surnamed Fang, who was well-acquainted with Su Gao, would act together.

Then, on the side of the Academy, classmate Su Gao gained a special operations consultant.

Just a little confirmation with Yuan Fang about the situation here was enough to draw a conclusion.

Not to mention, Demigod Su even directly used the consultant’s laboratory as a temporary base.

The two of them flaunted their journey with no concealment at all.

But just like they addressed before deciding to do so, there was no need to worry about any negative impact, it was just Professor Fu’s merit points increased once again.

It even seemed that if it goes any higher, the Night Watchman might give him a special allowance.

Thus Fu Qian admitted openly, the ease of it further made it difficult for others to harbor doubts.

This...

Including the current reaction from Aike, she had evidently realized something.

However, after glancing back and forth between Su Gao and Fu Qian a few times in astonishment, she eventually understood the critical nature of the situation and hesitated to speak.

”Is Lord Logan okay now?”

In contrast, Fu Qian appeared much more at ease, casually inquiring once more about Logan’s current status.

”He’s almost completely healed.”

And Stoss brought back an astonishingly optimistic answer, making it sound like the journey to the Unseen Hillock last time had accomplished significant effects.

The weakened Logan had almost fully recovered.

”Alright, let’s not dwell on this; let’s begin the operation.”

Without giving Fu Qian the chance to express any shock, Stoss directly stood up the next instant.

...

”Considering the situation inside, this time we only need the participation of high-tier transcendents, and having Professor Fu from the Academy join us is enough.”

It was clear that Lord Stos had already planned the arrangements on the way, directly pointing to everyone the next moment without giving Fu Qian the chance to refuse.

”Director Li, I need you and Yuan Fang to hold the position outside.”

And in the next moment, he looked at Li Weixuan, giving specific instructions.

”While ensuring everything is normal, set a three-day deadline this time. If we haven’t come out by then and there’s no news, contact the council.”

A reasonable arrangement.

And regarding his idea, Fu Qian found no fault with it.

Obviously, Old Master Stoss had a detailed understanding of the previous situation.

While fully considering the risks, the three-day limit clearly referred to the exploratory experiences of himself and Su Gao.

Meanwhile, leaving a demigod aware of the situation outside is also helpful in preventing unexpected situations.

Moreover, there’s no one better than Li Weixuan and Yuan Fang to mobilize surrounding resources.

”Okay.”

The always prudent and steady Li Weixuan had no objections to the arrangement, directly agreeing.

”Professor Fu, take care, and be sure to stay safe.”

He also earnestly instructed the Academy personnel.

”It’s my duty.”

To this, Fu Qian gave the same reply as before, and as he stood up, he glanced in the direction of the door.

”Professor Fu—”

In the next instant, the door was directly pushed open from the outside, and it was Professor Ah Kai’s voice.

...

It had been more than a day since they last met, and Professor Ah Kai seemed haggard.

Not realizing there were so many people inside, Ah Kai, looking slightly listless, entered and was startled as he looked around.

At the same time, Fu Qian was also sizing him up.

He wasn’t injured, just looked like a student during exam week, with eyes glazed over from reading too much, mentally exhausted.

”It’s okay, if there’s anything, just say it.”

Instead of responding directly, Fu Qian glanced at Su Gao.

The latter nodded slightly and gestured for Professor Ah Kai to speak slowly.

”...I’ve searched for all the instructors from the Benevolence Institute this day and checked all the manuscripts available, unfortunately, I still couldn’t find anything about miracles related to the ship.”

Encouraged, and seeing how busy everyone in front of him seemed, Ah Kai went straight to the point of his visit.

So not only a student in exam week, but did he also fail in the end?

It turns out Professor Ah Kai has been busy with previous arrangements, but the results he provided were not optimistic.

”What about those related to leaves?”

After a brief silence, as Fu Qian pondered, he casually asked.

”Huh? None of those either.”

Ah Kai seemed a bit confused, shaking his head involuntarily.

”Alright then... Doomsday?”

Sighing, Fu Qian switched to another keyword.

”There are a lot of those—”

It seemed he finally chose the right term, and Professor Ah Kai’s eyes lit up with excitement. Yet in the next second, he felt the presence of Old Master Stoss’s gaze, and his voice halted.

”But they’re all merely attempts; it seems none have succeeded...”

Though unfamiliar with this prominent figure, he could clearly see Stoss held considerable authority within the group. Coupled with the handling of this incident, his identity was almost conspicuous.

It was clearly inappropriate to discuss the Benevolence Institute’s exploration of doomsday in front of a Night Watchman bigwig.

Even Director Li Weixuan seemed solemn, and a spark of clarity hit Professor Ah Kai, prompting him to hastily add.

Lord Stos’s gaze slightly softened, though he still remained silent.

...

”None of them succeeded?”

Amidst the eerie atmosphere, it was Demigod Su’s voice that cut through the silence, signaling for Ah Kai to continue without emotion.

”To my knowledge, none.”

A sigh of relief escaped involuntarily, and Ah Kai answered earnestly.

”In terms of miracle exploration, the doomsday concept is unmissable, so almost every researcher attempts to gather related information. Of course, they proceed with great caution...”

Besides that, he carefully tried to justify the Benevolence Institute’s dedication to this exploration.

”And simply guessing like this, the efficiency is really low. Is there a chance I might directly experience it? I believe it might yield more results.”

Seeing the dauntingly pressing gazes, Ah Kai, seemingly unfazed, thought of something and proposed an idea.

This...

Finally, there was an exchange of glances among the group.

However, judging from Old Master Stoss’s demeanor, he wasn’t inclined to let this person of lesser ranking take risks.

”I do have some special protection methods, and if it really is a miracle, I might even attempt to find a way to undo it.”

With such a reaction, Ah Kai seemed to confirm he had indeed stumbled upon an imminent operation, prompting him to eagerly volunteer once more.
