Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2371: Chapter 2366: Engraving Wisdom

Continue to gain insight.

Speaking of magic, naturally, we need to rehash the conversation from when the earring was swallowed.

The contents of the cylinder also reenacted the earring’s fate.

Indeed, requesting Professor Lisa to apply for Kaldora’s bloodflesh was truly in preparation for the scientific expedition.

But this preparation was never meant to bring it into the Sea of Ashes.

I said earlier, one must not blindly trust device upgrades in academia, but having devices and not using them is even more foolish.

Kaldora’s bloodflesh is a precious material forcibly brought back from the accident site back then, and there’s simply no reason not to gain insight into it.

Not to mention Miss Wen just now provided another interesting observation.

Thus, Fu Qian’s action was simple: a mouth grew again in his palm and swallowed the divine blood and flesh.

And Wen Li seemed to vaguely realize this.

”Professor Fu... how are you?”

Staring at the empty metal barrel, after a brief shock, Wen Li’s gaze moved up to Fu Qian’s face, but she didn’t show any discomfort, only softly called out.

”I feel alright.”

Seeing Miss Wen’s face being somewhat serious, Fu Qian nodded to indicate there’s no need to worry.

It’s not purely for comfort; tonight has already been twice, and what was swallowed at this moment is equally unpleasant.

But compared to the previous mushroom, at least after gaining insight, there was no immediate apparent poisoning symptoms.

[Engraving Wisdom]

There was even written information.

[When you gaze upon the world, the reflection in your eyes begins to become unreliable]

...

So this is the difference between original and reprocessing, huh?

Silently looking at the information gained from insight, at that moment Fu Qian couldn’t help but sigh.

To unexpectedly acquire a skill, although its effect seems hard to understand and not necessarily positive.

However, one must see the optimistic side of things; after upgrading, it indeed expanded even the insight slot.

This skill, which seems ambiguous in effect, didn’t require replacing an original skill but was directly engraved, and very clearly is a passive skill.

As for the specific effect...

”Professor Fu, are you injured again?”

With Fu Qian’s reassurance, Wen Li temporarily didn’t speak.

And while silently savoring the moment, another familiar voice rang out beside.

It was the research assistant, who had gone upstairs to rest, returning, intently observing the leader’s body, also with a serious expression.

Jianxin’s perception is not to be underestimated; Miss Liushuang had indeed once again detected the anomaly with Professor Fu.

”I feel alright.”

And facing the concern of the research assistant, Fu Qian continued to nod slightly and repeated the previous answer.

”I didn’t intentionally eavesdrop on your conversation, but Wen Li’s appearance earlier made me a bit worried.”

Although Fu Qian’s response seemed to have limited persuasiveness, Miss Liushuang ultimately did not pursue further questions, only sighed softly for a moment, explaining why she was there.

Not surprising, Wen Li’s evident abnormality, for anyone meticulous, wouldn’t be difficult to notice.

Not to mention, even back with Professor Lisa, Miss Liushuang already noticed the injury.

”It’s okay, do you have any thoughts on the voices in the bloodflesh?”

Eavesdropping on others’ reports is indeed impolite, but as a laboratory assistant, it’s entirely reasonable to attend group meetings.

Regarding Miss Liushuang’s apology, Fu Qian waved his hand indifferently, even enquiring her opinion on the topic.

...

”Honestly, I can hardly grasp what’s inside, whether it’s emotional fluctuations or other similar pulses.”

The leader’s attention, of course, is gratifying, but Ji Liushuang seems to remain an honest student, after brief thought, shaking her head.

”But if there really is such special emotional interpretation, I vaguely hope it doesn’t belong to Professor Kaldora...”

And the subsequent addition, she clearly conveyed a heartfelt sentiment.

”Indeed, if it truly is a struggling soul, it’s likely endured far too much.”

When initially hearing it felt somewhat unempathetic, at that moment Fu Qian also sighed.

Even if all previous analyses were mistaken, and the emotions truly belong to Professor Calaudora, such rigid cycles undoubtedly offer a rather grim impression.

Decades of one’s will never entirely extinguished, but sealed within filthy bloodflesh, experiencing the inch-by-inch decay and even dismemberment... just contemplating it brings the pain to light.

Ultimately driven insane, only leaving such beastly murmurs, seems to be a relatively optimistic speculation.

”For me, it’s truly unimaginable... nor do I want to imagine it.”

Thought agreed upon, Ji Liushuang’s face became more wistful, full of unwillingness regarding that possible encounter.

”If possible, I hope no one ever has such experiences... I’ll head back now.”

And amid the emotions, she couldn’t help but lift her head to look at Fu Qian, speaking with a particularly distinctive tone.

Has she sensed something, yet unwilling to say more for fear of bringing unease?

In such a feeling, seemingly unwilling to face her inner self, in the next moment, Ji Liushuang stood up directly, voluntarily ended the dialogue.

”Quite brilliant... Liushuang has always had some concern about your condition.”

And just when Fu Qian watched the research assistant head back upstairs, the previously silent Wen Li finally spoke.

While praising the brilliant magic trick, she followed Fu Qian’s gaze with a soft sigh.

...

”Did you sense it?”

From each other’s address, it’s clear the relationship has become rather familiar after a few days.

And hearing Wen Li’s words, Fu Qian glanced at her, casually asked.

”I actually didn’t intend to specifically probe... but indeed it’s from Liushuang’s reaction that I realized the issue with you.”

Wen Li’s expression suddenly became somewhat reproachful, explaining she didn’t intentionally do so, and admitting that despite already being a demigod, it was still Miss Liushuang who noticed Professor Fu’s injury earlier.

”Sword Heart Enlightenment indeed defies logic; I sometimes need her to help ascertain situations.”

Fu Qian’s evaluation was very straightforward, stating the research assistant truly has astounding talent, with limitless potential.

”Although she’s not asleep now, she should be studying hard...”

And Wen Li seemed to misunderstand about the collaboration, subconsciously glancing again towards the stairs, suggesting perhaps it’s best not to disturb.

”Indeed, hopefully, this laboratory part-time position hasn’t influenced her progress.”

Echoing the sentiment, Fu Qian clearly agreed with this, his gaze falling on the chair Miss Liushuang had just sat on.

So... is this the ”reflection in your eyes begins to become unreliable”?

This skill, is it truly the ultimate enhanced version from eating mushrooms?

”What did I say just now?”

The next moment he abruptly asked a question.
