After hesitating and dawdling for a long time, the little fat boy finally managed to slowly "squeeze out" a small ball of warm, light green energy from the cracks in his shell.
This energy cluster was only the size of a pearl, and the energy it contained was so thin that Qin Ming felt embarrassed.
The tiny ball of light drifted towards the Spirit Abyss Duck, landing on its broad wings. In an instant, it was like a drop of water falling into the sea, only slightly wetting the outermost few feathers before leaving no trace.
All eyes were fixed on the Spirit Abyss Duck.
The Spirit Abyss Duck, which had been sensing with its eyes closed, slowly opened them after a few breaths. It didn't say much, only letting out a soft "quack" at Master Zheng.
Master Zheng's clenched fist suddenly loosened, then clenched again.
He took a deep breath, as if inhaling all the shock, hope, and the heavy pressure that followed.
He turned around and slapped Qin Ming's shoulder hard, so hard that Qin Ming staggered slightly.
"Qin Ming," Master Zheng's voice was more serious than ever before, "you must remember every single word I'm about to say."
"Your growth rate has far surpassed that of your peers, and even many so-called geniuses can only look up to you. But since you possess such a treasure, that's not enough!"
He paused, seemingly considering how to reveal more information, but ultimately told the truth.
"I won't lie to you. There's a forbidden zone on the frontier called 'The Abyss,' which has recently experienced an unusual riot. Its spreading spiritual corrosive power has caused a large number of people to lose their senses and suffer mental breakdowns. Conventional treatments have extremely limited effectiveness."
His gaze swept over Little Fatty, filled with a complex mix of amazement and regret. He sighed and said, "The life energy emitted by Little Fatty's mutated sal tree is very special. It has an extremely effective effect on stabilizing the mind and soothing spatial perception trauma!"
I just had Lingyuan Duck experience it to verify this. And the result… you understand.”
"However," Master Zheng's tone abruptly shifted, becoming even more somber, "this energy level is too low! Too weak! For cases that have already been deeply eroded, or require large-scale treatment, this amount of energy is utterly inadequate!"
Seeing Qin Ming's expression change from understanding to seriousness, he continued, "The unique mutation caused by the space within Little Fatty's body is a miracle that is difficult to replicate, even without delving into its principles."
"The best approach is to maintain the status quo, let it grow naturally, and observe how things unfold."
"However, you must understand that when people face life-or-death situations or when their loved ones are in dire straits, so-called 'reason' and 'waiting' often become incredibly fragile."
Everyone has selfish desires and moments of recklessness. Once the news of this leaf or this sapling is completely leaked, with your current strength, you simply can't protect it, nor can you protect yourself!
"Therefore, you must seize every opportunity to grow stronger! Until you possess the strength to deter the villains and protect the secret, this matter must not be known to any more people! Understand?!"
Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat. The sense of urgency and potential crisis in Master Zheng's words sent a chill down his spine.
He immediately realized something and hurriedly said, "But... it seems that Elder Zhou Weiming of the Academy's Medical Center has already noticed something. When Little Fatty went for treatment for his sensory overload, he gave me his business card, and his attitude was quite meaningful."
Qin Ming took out the simple and elegant spirit pattern name card.
Master Zheng frowned, took the business card, and carefully examined the patterns and name on it. His expression softened slightly, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Zhou Weiming... I know him and have dealt with him a few times. He is a true healer with a kind heart, highly respected among spiritual healers, and reliable in both character and principles."
"Since he didn't expose you on the spot, he will definitely not reveal your situation later. You can rest assured about that. However, try to avoid his in-depth examinations unless absolutely necessary."
With the important information confirmed, Master Zheng seemed to have a weight lifted off his shoulders. He said no more and began operating his terminal.
A moment later, Qin Ming's personal terminal emitted a series of pleasant notification sounds.
Qin Ming clicked on it and was immediately stunned.
His account not only contained a huge sum of special gym points that took his breath away, but also a list of extremely rare resources.
The list was dazzling, with the vast majority being rare aquatic resources, ranging from "Deep Sea Mystic Crystal" and "Tidal Essence" suitable for third and fourth-tier spirit beasts to consolidate their foundations, to "Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow" and "Water Heart Lotus Fruit" which are usually only used by fifth and sixth-tier powerhouses to break through bottlenecks or for daily cultivation and nourishment...
Qin Ming even saw a rare item labeled "Sixth Rank - Heart-Protecting Scale"!
That's incredibly extravagant! As the Water-type Gym Leader, Gym Leader Zheng certainly possesses abundant Water-type resources, but he himself definitely has the means to use a treasure like the "Heartguard Scale"!
So they just gave it to Qin Ming, who was only a third-tier Spirit Master, ahead of time?
Moreover, Qin Ming knew that although he had studied under Master Zheng and received his guidance and care, there was no formal master-disciple relationship between them, let alone a close relationship like that of a teacher and father.
Master Zheng's act of kindness is truly immense!
"Master Zheng, this..." Qin Ming looked at the dazzling list, his throat went dry, and he didn't know how to refuse.
"Don't overthink it." Master Zheng waved his hand, interrupting him, and said frankly and directly, "I've seen your character and temperament. Your potential is beyond doubt."
These things are just lifeless objects stored in a warehouse; they only reach their full value when used by the right people.
Seeing that Qin Ming still looked hesitant, he changed to a more relaxed approach and said with a smile, "If you really feel bad about it, just consider these as my 'investment' in your future."
"You can repay me when you grow up, become a powerful figure, or achieve something remarkable. I trust my judgment, and I believe in your future."
Having said all that, further refusal would seem pretentious. Qin Ming took a deep breath, suppressing all his gratitude and shock, and solemnly bowed to Master Zheng before operating the terminal to confirm and receive the resources one by one.
With these resources now under ownership transfer, he can contact the association directly for delivery whenever he needs them.
In addition to water resources, the list also includes a lot of high-quality wood resources, obviously taking into account the needs of Cangxuan and the sapling of the Bodhi tree.
Master Zheng looked at Qin Ming as he accepted the gift, a satisfied expression on his face.
He concluded by saying, "I don't have much experience in raising space-type spirit beasts, so I dare not give any advice. But fortunately, you still have Elder Chu at your Magic City Academy."
He has a deep understanding of space, and although his whereabouts are unpredictable, his guidance would be of great benefit to both you and Little Fatty. Keep an eye on this matter yourself.
"I know, thank you for reminding me, Master Zheng," Qin Ming nodded.
He had told Qin Ming everything that needed to be told, and given him everything he was entitled to. Master Zheng patted Qin Ming's shoulder heavily again, a hopeful smile on his face, and without saying another word, turned and hurriedly left.
The situation on the frontier has not yet calmed down, and he has already withdrawn from this trip; he must hurry back.
