Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2031: Chapter 2026: Insulation

Student, if there’s a Transcendent form called Versailles Girl, you’ll definitely digest it well.

Research Assistant Ji Liushuang usually manages expressions quite well, but on her way back with a teacup, she momentarily seemed stunned.

Observing their reactions, Fu Qian, despite feeling baffled, could understand.

With his reminder, Miss Wen revealed the secret directly.

After leaving here last time, she returned with the stance of ”Don’t underestimate the youth for being poor,” seemingly reaping the greatest benefit from Heaven’s Commencement Institute’s bullying of Divine Ashes Institute over the past days.

Under the host of Old Master Veron, Divine Ashes Institute appeared to invest resources in her without considering the costs.

Of course, they didn’t know what kind of ”cost” was actually involved in this so-called cost-free investment.

Although the final results were significant—she successfully digested Senior Lilianna’s relic.

Meanwhile, it proved the accuracy of her alternative probe; indeed, this person has officially stepped into the High Tier Extraordinary Domain.

This kind of Versailles performance is not pretentious.

Wen Li, who wasn’t foolish, could hear from the terms addressing Linghui that regardless of intentions, she was indeed grateful for the guidance from the masters.

The last time she cooperated with a dramatic performance was indeed based on her trust in herself.

Moreover, just as mentioned at the time, she had probably noticed something amiss and, after receiving his overly ”radical” guidance, confirmed that the situation wasn’t simple.

To sum up, she already had a certain consciousness as a tool during the collaborative act.

Ultimately, Wen Li seemed more worried than ecstatic about the remarkable achievement before her.

”Take a look at your new acquisition.”

Fu Qian did not rush to explain the current situation to Wen Li nor to probe into materials and rituals; he pointed directly to the key point.

After all, it was technically the immense scientific achievement Divine Ashes paid dearly for; he chose to respect their intellectual property for now.

”Alright... but be careful. It’s difficult to describe, but it’s indeed somewhat different from before.”

There was indeed something new, and Wen Li was not unexpectedly open to suggestions.

However, compared to before, her reminder was notably solemn.

Even after Fu Qian nodded slightly in acknowledgment, she took a deep breath to calm herself.

...

”How is it?”

As she exhaled, Wen Li was eagerly focusing on Fu Qian’s evaluation.

”Unexpectedly, even now I can’t perceive Professor Fu’s emotions... so it’s hard to determine the effect.”

She even expressed genuine astonishment while consulting.

Perhaps, there wasn’t any effect at all.

To this, Fu Qian merely thought to himself.

The value of the Mechanical Tyrant continues to grow.

As someone who is inclined towards supportive roles within the Psychic Series, Wen Li is indeed remarkably powerful within her domain.

Including her previous attempt where she integrated her full efforts learned in Divine Ashes Institute, she could genuinely make neurons seem fleeting.

The theme from Beauty Kaleidoscope was deeply felt.

Yet theoretically speaking, at this moment I am merely at the Demigod Level.

Regarding touching Divinity’s new acquisition, the only thought just now was—huh, it’s over?

No fluctuations... The fully realized ”Mechanical” Tyrant seems directly immune to psychic influences.

Even actively lowering the ranking wouldn’t matter.

Just consider thinking positively, this clearly falls under the impact Extraordinary Perception no longer brings.

Although without deliberately suppressing the ranking, even without this, Wen Li’s testing likely yields the same result.

However, this greatly increases flexibility.

In whatever form henceforth, there would be no worries of unknowingly falling into traps.

And upon reflection, faced with this all-round magic immune rogue behavior, quite a few ”old friends” would be rather uncomfortable.

Is this the terror of Mechanical Ascension?

Though in reality, there’s an issue—after Wen Li and Fu Qian finished the test, it wasn’t mutually beneficial for him to cooperate with her.

”Can’t feel it, why don’t you describe it with words first?”

Fu Qian blinked, honestly providing the test result.

...

”Why don’t I try?”

Faced with Professor Fu’s rare commentary, Wen Li almost seemed a bit at a loss.

After serving tea to Professor Fu, it was Miss Liushuang who voluntarily offered.

This talent newly discovered by Divine Ashes Institute had visited her twice as an observer.

The peculiarly behaved manner earlier and subsequent dialogues incongruent with her character already allowed Ji Liushuang to confirm her earlier suspicions and even reapproach Professor Fu’s coaxing behavior.

So essentially one of us? All performances were for Divine Ashes to see?

As for the purposes—Miss Wen already articulated quite frankly earlier, in just two days directly touching Divinity, consuming immense resources...

Recalling the determined turning point and Professor Ni Huayuan’s consistent expressions throughout, Ji Liushuang couldn’t help but feel compassion for Divine Ashes.

Although strictly speaking, Divine Ashes didn’t suffer losses—their original intent was merely to demonstrate the superiority of the Psychic Series, now having indeed crafted a miracle.

Professor Fu merely assisted in applied effort, even helping them firm resolve to invest resources.

In just a moment, Ji Liushuang found the reasons for the leadership, understanding Professor Fu’s good intentions.

”My Sword Intent is relatively sensitive to mental influences, though perhaps attention should be paid to intensity.”

Looking at this overly youthful lady before them, she spoke more freely.

This...

Wen Li, feeling gratified, instinctively sought Fu Qian’s opinion with her gaze, who signaled agreement but without objection.

”Go ahead, give it a try.”

On one hand, Fu Qian was confident in Wen Li’s control over intensity, while on the other, this confirmed no issue with the Return Edict, available for handling contingencies at any time.

”Alright, I’ll start now.”

Seeing Fu Qian’s stance, Wen Li no longer hesitated, consulting carefully with Ji Liushuang and calming herself after receiving affirmation.

”Huh?”

Contrarily, this time the experimenter’s reaction was starkly different.

Even before Wen Li could inquire, Miss Liushuang uttered a soft gasp, her originally serious face betraying surprise.

”What’s wrong?”

Prompting Fu Qian’s curiosity.

Clearly, this wasn’t Wen Li forcibly startling her, but an emotion generated by her own operations.

”My joy ... seems to have come to life...”
