In the end, the matter was left to the project team, and a specialist was assigned to handle the aftermath.

Qin Ming simply couldn't spare the time to train his skills in black holes, especially since the project team already needed to study various data about black holes, so this arrangement was quite good.

"Gah!" Keda stretched out his head and nudged the lost-in-the-day Qin Ming.

"I know, I'll go pick out some resources for you right away! You'll definitely be satisfied!"

Keda considers himself Qin Ming's top general and is very concerned about whether his level and strength are superior.

In recent days, under the guidance of the Heavenly Deer, Cang Xuan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, which has inadvertently added a lot of pressure to Keda.

Qin Ming even suspected that Keda's recently thinning hair was due not only to being "tortured" by the black hole, but also to this layer of anxiety.

Of course, Keda would never admit to such a claim.

Upon arriving at the academy's resource exchange area, Qin Ming retrieved a list of monthly attribute resources suitable for his current stage.

"Moon Essence is pure, gentle, and easily absorbed; Moon Fruit tastes good and can slowly nourish the essence of spirit beasts; Wangshu Crystal contains the power of the moon's soul and has a slight amplification effect on skill power... These are all pretty good, which one do you want?"

These resources of the same level have similar main effects, only differing slightly in their focus and form of expression. Qin Ming habitually consulted with Keda about it.

"Gah~"

Unexpectedly, Keda didn't dwell on it too much. His eyes quickly scanned the dazzling list of resources. When he passed a rather inconspicuous option, his eyes lit up and he excitedly tapped the icon with the tip of his wing.

"You want... a Moonflower Fish?" Qin Ming was startled when he saw it clearly.

Moonflower Fish is not a resource that directly enhances strength, but rather a spiritual fish that lives in specific waters rich in lunar energy. Its flesh is delicious and contains gentle lunar energy, and it is often used as a dietary supplement or as an ingredient in certain special medicines.

Qin Ming could understand all of the above, but the question was, were there really that many people in his family who loved to eat fish?

"Gah!" Keda nodded vigorously, his eyes resolute.

"You...you're still going to give these fish to Little Fatty to raise?!" Qin Ming swallowed hard, managing to swallow the rest of his sentence.

But then again, neither Keda nor Cangxuan are fools. Since they are willing to entrust their resources to Xiaopang to "cultivate and improve" him, they must be certain that both sides can benefit from it.

After calming down, Qin Ming thought back carefully and realized that Xiao Pang had indeed become much more "generous" lately. In addition to the several big meals he had every week without fail, he would often bring out some good quality small fish and shrimp to "feed" him, calling it "sharing"...

Could it be that the gluttonous chubby boy has really grown up and become sensible?

Qin Ming, belatedly realizing what was happening, continued to ponder while his hands worked diligently, carefully selecting moonfish that were strong and healthy, with a balanced number of males and females...

As he continued browsing, Qin Ming began to regret not bringing Little Fatty along.

In his opinion, apart from slight differences in size and color, there wasn't much else to tell about these fish.

On the contrary, Keda watched intently from the side, occasionally offering pointers with a "cacacaca" sound.

With Keda's "support," Qin Ming released several handsome and robust male fish back into the water, and instead selected a relatively small, grayish female fish from the side.

"Are you sure you want this one?" Qin Ming asked again.

Keda, who had been worrying too much lately, nodded with a troubled expression.

Qin Ming returned to his dormitory in high spirits with the carefully selected number of Moonflower Fish, a good mood that lasted until the very last second before he pushed open the dormitory door.

When the door opened, Qin Ming thought he had gone blind.

In the courtyard, the pure black spirit flower, which had originally been modified by Tianze Sacred Deer and Cangxuan, has now undergone a second "creation"...

It was a color that was difficult to describe precisely in words—a multicolored black.

Yes, despite its deep black base, it shimmers with various unusual colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan—under the refraction of light from different angles, resembling oil floating on the surface of water.

Together, they create a jarring and psychologically polluting visual effect.

Qin Ming's hands trembled as he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Saint Deer and Cang Xuan, who were still discussing things meticulously.

He couldn't be sure whether it was a terrible deviation in the aesthetic direction of the two of them, or some technical difficulty encountered in the process of modifying the spiritual plants that led to such a result...

This combination of the somberness of black and the vibrancy of color was simply too "dark," Qin Ming's lips twitched.

Seeing that the multicolored black had gained another color under the Holy Deer's transformation, Qin Ming took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "This transformation isn't urgent. You two have worked hard, so how about we call it a day?"

Upon hearing this, Tianze Sacred Deer glanced at Cang Xuan beside him, whose spiritual energy was depleted and whose face was pale, and readily replied, "Oh, you're right. Then I'll go back and think it over carefully, to see if there's a better solution. It's just this half-finished product..."

Qin Ming understood immediately and waved his hand generously, "It's alright! Take plenty back with you! Come back anytime if you need more! Don't be shy!"

Finally, seeing the large patch of mottled black that he hadn't been able to send away, Qin Ming grabbed Cang Xuan, who was still full of enthusiasm and whose competitive spirit had been ignited.

"Whether it's cultivation or research, there's no rush! Let's go back to Blue Star to rest and clear our minds!"

Perhaps Keda and Cangxuan's recent schedules have been too tight; one is anxious and losing her hair, and the other is obsessed with research. They really need to take a break.

In addition, his stockpile of merit gold beads was also exhausted and urgently needed to be replenished. The more Qin Ming thought about it, the more he felt that he should go back.

……

After a familiar sense of time and space shift, the group arrived on Earth.

As soon as Little Fatty landed, he said to Qin Ming with a clear purpose, "Boss, the turtle wants to go to the sea to find its big fish friends!"

Qin Ming asked curiously, "It's possible, but you want to go...?"

"The turtle went to buy supplies!" Little Fatty answered confidently, his voice brimming with pure joy. "The turtle wants to trade food with the big fish!"

"Huh?" Qin Ming was taken aback. Buying goods? Food? Something seems off.

But then he thought about it again. Given the size of a whale, the meager spiritual energy that Little Fatty could carry with it wouldn't change anything. It was rare for Little Fatty to be so happy... so Qin Ming let it be and didn't want to disturb his mood.

"Alright, be careful, and come back soon."

"Well, goodbye, boss!"

Little Fatty responded cheerfully, splashed his limbs, and skillfully plunged into the azure sea.

Upon entering the sea, Little Fatty swam in a specific direction with a clear goal in mind, while simultaneously organizing the space within his body.

His little paws scrambled around, and he muttered to himself, "Hmm, these crystal shrimp aren't plump enough, and their spiritual energy is weak. Keeping them will affect the quality of their offspring, so they have to be disposed of... And these fluorescent sardines too, their colors aren't bright enough, they must be malnourished..."

As he carefully selected and categorized the "defective products," he sighed with concern:

"Sigh, the boss's appetite isn't what it used to be. He can't even finish these substandard products. The inventory pressure on the turtle is really getting bigger and bigger..."

"Luckily, the turtle has many friends and knows how to figure things out!"

P.S.: Taking a day off... The autumn weather is so nice, it's great for going out (except for being tired).
