Chapter 2371 The Wisdom of Etching

Continue to observe.

The magic trick explanation is, of course, to recreate the conversation that took place when the earring was eaten.

The contents of the cylinder also mirrored the fate of that earring.

That's right, asking Professor Lisa to apply for Kalaudora Flesh was indeed a preparation for the scientific expedition.

But this preparation was never intended to bring it into the Ash Sea.

As mentioned earlier, one should not blindly believe in equipment upgrades when conducting academic research, but having equipment and not using it is an even more foolish act.

The flesh and blood of Kalaudora is a valuable piece of material forcibly brought back from the accident scene years ago, and there is no reason not to investigate it.

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

So Fu Qian's action was simple: another mouth grew from his palm and swallowed the divine flesh and blood.

Wen Li should have been vaguely aware of this as well.

"Professor Fu... how are you?"

Staring at the empty metal barrel, Wen Li was briefly shocked before her gaze shifted to Fu Qian's face. However, she did not show any discomfort and simply called out softly.

"I feel okay."

Seeing that Miss Wen's expression was somewhat serious, Fu Qian nodded to indicate that there was no need to worry.

It's not just a consolation; tonight is the second time I've had sex, and what I'm swallowing now isn't anything pleasant either.

However, unlike the mushrooms mentioned earlier, at least after careful observation, no obvious symptoms of poisoning appeared immediately.

The Wisdom of Etching

There are even text messages.

When you gaze at the world, the reflection in your eyes begins to seem less reliable.

……

So is this the difference between original factory and remanufactured?

Silently observing the information he had gleaned, Fu Qian couldn't help but sigh at that moment.

They actually gained a skill, although the effect seemed a bit hard to understand, and might not even be positive.

However, we should always look on the bright side. For example, after the upgrade, even the Insight slot was expanded.

This skill, which seems to have a somewhat ambiguous effect, doesn't require you to choose an original skill to replace it; instead, it's directly embedded into the skill. Furthermore, it's clearly a passive skill.

As for the specific effects...

"Professor Fu, are you injured again?"

With Fu Qian's reassurance, Wen Li remained silent for a moment.

Just as I was quietly savoring the moment, another familiar voice rang out from the side.

However, the research assistant, who had already gone up to rest, returned, staring intently at the leader with the same solemn expression.

Sword Heart's keen perception is no joke; Liu Shuang noticed Professor Fu's unusual behavior once again.

"I feel okay."

In response to the research assistant's concern, Fu Qian nodded slightly and repeated his previous answer.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but Wenli's appearance earlier made me a little worried."

Although Fu Qian's response seemed to have limited persuasiveness, Liu Shuang did not press the matter further. She simply sighed and explained why she was there.

It's not surprising. Anyone who pays close attention would easily notice Wen Li's obvious abnormality.

Not to mention that Liu Shuang had already discovered her injury back when she was with Professor Lisa. "It's alright. What are your thoughts on the voice within the flesh and blood?"

It is indeed impolite to eavesdrop on other people's reports, but as a lab assistant, it is perfectly acceptable to observe group meetings.

Fu Qian waved his hand dismissively at Liu Shuang's apology, and even asked her for her opinion on the project.

……

"To be honest, I can hardly grasp anything in it, whether it's the emotional ups and downs or other similar fluctuations."

While the leader's attention was certainly gratifying, Ji Liushuang seemed to be an honest student, shaking her head after a moment's thought.

"But if there really is that special emotional performance, I vaguely hope it doesn't belong to Professor Kalaudora..."

The following sentence clearly reveals the speaker's feelings of emotion.

"Yes, if it is truly a struggling soul, it has probably suffered far too much."

At first glance, it seemed a bit heartless, but at that moment, Fu Qian also sighed.

Even if all the previous analyses were wrong, the emotion truly belonged to Professor Kalaudora. Such a rigid cycle undoubtedly gave people a rather unpleasant feeling.

For decades, the individual's will has never been completely dead, but rather sealed within this filthy flesh and blood, feeling itself rotting inch by inch and even being cut apart... Just thinking about it makes one realize the pain involved.

To be driven mad by torture and left only with these bestial murmurs seems like a relatively optimistic conjecture.

"It's unimaginable for me...and I don't want to imagine it."

With her idea agreed upon, Ji Liushuang's face showed even more melancholy, filled with reluctance at the possibility of what might happen to her.

"If possible, I hope no one has to have this experience... I'm going back now."

As she sighed, she couldn't help but look up at Fu Qian and say something in a rather peculiar tone.

I've already sensed something, but I don't want to say anything pointless and cause trouble.
In this feeling, it seemed that she didn't want to face her own heart. The next moment, Ji Liushuang stood up and took the initiative to end the conversation.

“That was wonderful… Liu Shuang has been a little worried about your condition.”

Just as Fu Qian was seeing his research assistant back upstairs, Wen Li, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

While praising the wonderful magic performance, he followed Fu Qian's gaze and sighed softly.

……

"You feel it?"

Judging from how they addressed each other, it was clear that the two had become quite familiar with each other over the past few days.

Upon hearing Wen Li's explanation, Fu Qian glanced at her and casually asked a question.

“I didn’t actually intend to spy on you... but it was from Liu Shuang’s reaction that I realized the problem with you.”

Wen Li looked somewhat ashamed and explained that she did not mean it, and admitted that even though she was already a demigod, it was still Liu Shuang who discovered Professor Fu's injury earlier.

“Kenshin Tongming is indeed a bit unreasonable; sometimes I need her help to confirm the situation.”

The evaluation before the payment was much more straightforward, stating that the research assistant was indeed incredibly talented and had a limitless future.

"She's not asleep yet, but she's probably studying hard..."

Wenli seemed to misunderstand the offer of help, and subconsciously looked at the stairs again, indicating that it might be best not to disturb them.

"Indeed, I hope this part-time lab job hasn't affected her progress."

Fu Qian echoed this statement, his gaze falling on the chair where Liu Shuang had just sat.

So... this is why "the reflection in your eyes starts to seem less reliable"?
Is this skill truly the ultimate, enhanced version of eating mushrooms?
"What did I just say?"

The next moment he suddenly asked a question.
