Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"That's enough, that's bright enough, put it away now."

Hughes covered his eyes with one hand and waved his other hand, signaling Isaac to take the diamond ring back.

After Isaac put the ring back in his pocket, Hughes said helplessly, "You made this with alchemy, didn't you?"

"Ah."

"Phew... You alchemists have it so easy."

Hughes sighed deeply, and then said.

"Diamond rings are basically no different from scrap metal to alchemists. I think you'd better prepare other types of rings, preferably the kind that even alchemists have a hard time getting."

"..."

"What's wrong? You look like you're in a really difficult situation?"

"Um...it might be a little difficult."

Isaac looked conflicted.

"You know I'm a bit different from ordinary alchemists. For me, I can concoct anything that exists in reality."

"...Never mind what I said."

Hughes thought for a moment and then continued.

"Let's go with a diamond ring. It's an old tradition anyway, so it's fine to keep it traditional. The key to a proposal is timing. For example, when I was having dinner with Gracia, I bribed the waiter beforehand so that when the atmosphere was just right, he would suddenly turn off the lights, and when the lights came back on, I would propose with a diamond ring."

"Oh, I see. We'll just follow this procedure, right?"

"Don't follow this process exactly. This is from our generation. The times are developing so fast now, there are always some new solutions worth trying."

Hughes patted Isaac on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Stop trying to copy answers, use your imagination."

"..."

"Okay, this might be a bit difficult for you."

Seeing Isaac's constipated expression again, Hughes continued.

"Perhaps you can ask others; maybe they can give you some inspiration."

"……I see."

--------

Central City, inside Research Institute No. 5.

"Dr. Muroto, I have some questions for you... Hmm?"

As soon as I entered the ground floor of the research institute, I saw Sumire Muroto looking at the huge culture tank in front of her while recording data.

Isaac looked into the culture tank and saw a baby floating in a clear liquid.

"This is……"

"Your daughter."

"That's what Sumire Muroto said."

“She died in that world, and her soul is hidden in your son’s body, so a new body needs to be created.”

After saying that, Sumire Muroto stretched.

"You said it, a soul can only avoid collapsing if it is hidden in a suitable body, so now we must create an identical body. In order to avoid the tragedy that happened before, we can only let her body grow in the incubation tank until she is eighteen years old."

"Ah."

Isaac nodded gently, stepped forward, and reached out to stroke the huge culture tank, looking at the baby inside with tenderness.

Recalling that parting at the amusement park, Isaac murmured to himself.

"See you next time...it will be more than ten years from now."

"Fortunately, your daughter won't be as outrageous as your son, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to take on this matter."

In what was essentially the previous world, a boy from the future nearly caused a cosmic-level catastrophe, and Sumire Muroto felt a sudden headache coming on.

At first, I thought that the daughter created using Isaac's genes had an extremely terrifying combat power at stage five in her normal state, but at least her growth curve was normal, and no matter how much she grew, it wouldn't be too outrageous.

The boy's growth trajectory was completely abnormal.

In short, the daughter starts at max level and can continue to grow steadily, while the son may not start well, but his growth is like Brownian motion at lightning speed.

"Never mind, after all, it's an isolated case that only comes about due to countless coincidences." Sumire Muroto sighed.

"How wonderful."

"..."

Seeing the loving look in Isaac's eyes as he gazed at the baby in the incubator, Sumire Muroto curled her lip.

"Hey, stop looking, your son is still abroad."

"Oh, but the thought of him becoming an unfilial son who will use gamma-ray bursts on his old father in the future makes me think that being a daughter is better."

Isaac answered without hesitation.

"...Never mind, what do you want from me all of a sudden? I just got back from working overtime in that world, don't even think about assigning me tasks."

"Oh right, Doctor, since you're from the year 2030, I was wondering what the marriage proposal methods were like in your time?"

Why are you suddenly asking about the proposal?

Sumire Muroto paused slightly, then picked up the document and covered her lips.

"Are you perhaps planning to propose to me?"

Are you out of your mind?

"Just kidding, I know it's Violet."

Sumire Muroto smiled.

"In our time, proposals were all about surprises and romance. I personally think that using code words or scientific theories that only the other person would understand, like spelling out the words of the proposal using the periodic table, would be quite romantic, right?"

Chapter 1655: This is a decompression tool

Isaac felt he should gather more opinions, then summarize and plan them to form an effective proposal strategy.

After leaving the Fifth Research Institute, he planned to travel to the Kingdom of Albion.

On the one hand, I wanted to ask Anjie's opinion, and on the other hand, I wanted to pick up the baby.

After being shocked by the boy who had grown up to be eighteen years old and came from the future in another world, Isaac decided to send the boy to the new country to be raised by his mother.

Although the baby is currently very filial and adorable, considering that the future is unchangeable, Isaac plans to let the baby experience what he himself experienced back then.

They opened the Gate of Truth and arrived directly in the Kingdom of Albion, in the same activity room of Queen Mayfair Academy. There were still only Ange and the baby in the room.

At this moment, Anjie is feeding a baby a macaron.

Upon seeing Isaac arrive, Ange placed the last macaron into the baby's mouth, then picked up the baby and asked, "Isaac, have you come to see the baby?"

"Dad~"

The baby stretched out its pink little hand and smiled at Isaac.

"That's it."

Isaac nodded.

"By the way, Anjie, may I ask you a question?"

"What's the problem?"

"If you were to use yourself as the standard, what kind of marriage proposal would you like?"

"..."

Anjie stared at Isaac expressionlessly for a while, then tilted her head to the side.

"Are you going to propose to me?"

Baby: ?

The baby in Ange's arms looked at Isaac, then looked up at Ange, his face full of confusion.

"You're kidding, right?"

"It's definitely a joke; this is how Black Lizard People socialize."

"It seems you're not the only Black Lizard Alien hiding on Earth."

She recalled that Sumire Muroto seemed to have played this joke on her as well.

"You should know who that is."

"Victoria?"

"It's Violet, you bastard! You know perfectly well that I'm dating her."

Isaac rubbed his temples.

"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked you, you immature girl. You've probably never even been in a relationship. Asking you this question is really beyond my level."

"That's a bad word."

Ange's expression remained unchanged as she spoke.

"I've been in more than ten relationships."

"I know, it's the unique sense of humor of the Black Lizard Aliens, right?"

"You really know me quite well."

Anjie held the baby in one arm and made a "V" sign with the other, her expression still as calm and composed as ever.

With that poker face, it's hard to make anyone laugh when you're joking.

"Personally, I think it would be incredibly romantic to go through a thrilling mission together and then be proposed to at the very end... Oh, and it would be even better if there was a grenade exploding in the background."

"Isn't this a scene from a movie?"

Anjie's proposal is utterly worthless.
