"This assessment was probably a waste of my time, but thankfully I was able to get the certification smoothly."

As he said this, Qin Ming's expression was relaxed and at ease, carrying a Versailles-like quality that he himself was unaware of.

Otherwise, not only would Little Fatty need someone to help him during the assessment process, but he would also need someone to help him during the final qualification review stage. That would be too embarrassing for him to face anyone.

He walked along, making plans in his mind. Once he got the certification, he would be qualified to go to sea. Qingchen's food list was still on the agenda, and Cangxuan's water-repelling equipment also needed to be checked again.

As for Little Fatty, he lives a life of luxury with his turtle friend backing him up, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.

Qin Ming was quite leisurely thinking about all sorts of things, his pace neither hurried nor slow.

The training ground was filled with groups of spirit masters, some looking worried and pacing around, others squatting on the ground pretending to be mushrooms.

Qin Ming strolled leisurely through them, like a fish swimming upstream.

He walked toward the assessment and certification office at the end of the road, where a glowing sign hung on the door, bearing the three large characters "Certification Office".

Submit the assessment data, receive the certification, and if everything goes smoothly, you can get the qualification to go global today.

Until Qin Ming passed by a machine,

"Beep! A sharp fluctuation has been detected in your contract connection; a breakthrough is expected soon! Please hang in there! Please hang in there!!"

The machine emitted a crisp, loud beep that echoed three times in the empty corridor before dissipating.

Qin Ming stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head to look at the source of the sound, a cylindrical instrument about half the height of a person, with a crystal ball the size of a fist embedded at the top, which was now flashing a cheerful green light.

Inside the crystal ball, one could faintly see patterns of spiritual energy flowing, resembling the core of some kind of monitoring array.

The official team also put in a lot of effort by using instruments to monitor the situation and providing real-time encouragement.

Qin Ming silently gave himself a thumbs up.

This design is very user-friendly. When a spirit master is most anxious and needs confidence the most, the device can step in and say, "You are about to break through." That feeling is probably like someone handing you a glass of water on a marathon track. Although it can't run for you, at least it lets you know that you are on the right track.

Qin Ming looked around, wanting to see which lucky person was identified by the instrument as "about to break through".

This state is quite rare; he hasn't actually seen it in person much.

As a result, he looked left and right, up and down.

The corridor was empty except for him and two other staff members who were organizing documents behind a counter in the distance.

The doors on both sides of the corridor were closed, and there was no sign of any living person coming out from the cracks in the doors.

Qin Ming: ?

He glanced at it again to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

The corridor was truly empty, and there was absolutely no one there.

Like someone who hands in their paper or abandons the exam shortly after it begins, the path they take is quite lonely.

Qin Ming took a few steps back, filled with doubt.

The footsteps were light, but each step carried a sense of caution and disbelief, as if saying, "I need to check the license."

After retreating about five or six steps, the instrument could no longer recognize him, and the crystal ball dimmed and returned to standby mode.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, took another step, and walked past.

"Beep! A sharp fluctuation has been detected in your contract connection; a breakthrough is expected soon! Please hang in there! Please hang in there!!"

The familiar notification tone sounded again, this time accompanied by a cheerful panda's cry, probably the built-in mascot pet sound effect of the device, used to increase the encouraging and friendly feeling.

Qin Ming: ? ?

He looked down at himself, then looked up at the instruments.

The exit was just a stone's throw away, and with his tacit understanding with Little Fatty or Cang Xuan, he was certain he could get through; he had never doubted that.

But the question now is, should he go out?

Despite having a considerable number of highly compatible spirit beasts, 90 is a watershed moment, a number that many spirit masters cannot surpass in their entire lives.

His synergy with Little Fatty and Cangxuan is somewhat due to some inexplicable circumstances. Even Keda only recently reached 90.

And now, the instrument tells him that he is about to achieve a new breakthrough.

Could it be... that his and Keda's rapport is about to make new progress?

Although it seems to be most effective for spirit beasts below level 90, it doesn't mean it's ineffective for spirit beasts that have just reached level 90!

As a general who can contribute greatly in the water, if Keda can further improve his teamwork before going to sea, it will definitely be a great help.

Thinking this way, Qin Ming felt more and more that it was worth it to fight for a possible breakthrough!

So he stopped.

With the notification sound saying, "Please hang in there a little longer, you're almost there!" Qin Ming nodded silently and gave Kedabi a thumbs-up.

Encouraged, Keda's eyes were still somewhat confused, but he quickly became determined.

He spread his wings slightly, leaned forward, and entered a state of "going all out".

He flew around Qin Ming again and again, constantly adjusting his position, posture, and breathing rhythm, trying to find the feeling of "taking another step closer".

Time passed by, second by second.

Qin Ming gradually felt that "a breakthrough was imminent" was indeed present.

The thinnest thread in the contract is gradually becoming thicker, brighter, and stronger.

He closed his eyes, immersing himself in that perception, waiting for the moment of breakthrough.

coming.

A sense of clarity welled up from the depths of the contract, and a connection that was once small, fragile, and easily disrupted and severed became much stronger at this moment.

This connection became strong, clear, and stable, like a spider silk turning into a cable.

The direction of this link seems wrong; it's not accessible from the front.

Overjoyed, Qin Ming became puzzled, his brows furrowing slightly as he followed the connection forward...

All that could be heard was, "Help! Help! Someone please save the rat! Anyone will do!"

"Boss! Keda! Cangxuan! Little Fatty! Anyone will do!"

"If we don't come soon, we might not even see the rat's whole carcass!"

"Waaaaah~"

Qin Ming: !!!

Qin Ming's expression changed drastically. Ignoring the instrument still shimmering with iridescent light, he uttered the repeated congratulatory phrases, "Breakthrough successful! Congratulations!"

They didn't even care about the certification office that was right next door or the overseas qualification certificate that they hadn't yet received.

While comforting the crying baby, she leaped onto Keda's back and soared into the air.
