Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Although Anna felt quite frustrated when Gwyn was promoted to A-rank before her, she quickly adjusted her mindset after seeing how hard Gwyn worked, and she also worked harder.

Although Anna has not yet been promoted to A-level, she has not stopped working hard.

"Speaking of which, Anna, you're about to be promoted to A-level, right?

When the time comes, our equipment will undergo a round of upgrades. I believe your combat effectiveness will far exceed its current level after you adapt."

Although it was obvious that Anna's mental state was very stable, Gwyn still smiled and comforted the girl.

"Hmm~"

Hearing this, Anna put her fair hands behind her back, raised her chin slightly, narrowed her eyes, and looked very pleased.

"Promoting to A-rank is certainly not a problem for me now..."

Anna, who was already a little genius, became more hardworking under the influence of Gwyn. Even though she was limited by her talent and physical fitness and could not train as hard as Gwyn and Urandel, she still made considerable progress.

However, because she had two freaks, Gwyn and Ulander, by her side, Anna did not feel proud at all.

"But even if our combat effectiveness improves by then, it will still rely more on equipment. Our own hard power is far inferior to you and Bianca."

"That's not true. Being able to fully utilize the power of equipment is also a kind of ability."

Gwen smiled.

"And, to be honest, a large part of my combat power also depends on the Xuanyuan Sword..."

Even though Anna, who came from the Shaniat family, had no privileges, the secrets passed down in the family still made her know the existence of the Key of God, so Gwyn did not have to deliberately hide anything.

Hearing this, Anna smiled and said:

"But as someone just said, being able to fully utilize the power of a weapon is also a kind of ability."

"You learn pretty quickly..."

Hearing Anna's reply of "returning the favor in your own way", Gwen also smiled, reached out and gently tapped Anna's little head, causing the girl to roll her eyes.

"What are you planning to eat for lunch?"

After a while of playing around, the two had already walked out of the office area. Anna asked with a little anticipation, her hands behind her back.

Although they had met once, they hadn't spent much time together for half a month, which made Anna a little excited.

However, Gwen's answer shattered the girl's expectations -

"For lunch...I might have a box lunch."

"box lunch?"

Anna blinked, and the expectant look on her little face suddenly froze, revealing a look of great doubt.

"correct."

Gwen spread his hands helplessly.

"As I just said, I'm in charge of an experiment and will be in the lab soon. Based on past experience, I'll probably have a box lunch with the researchers in the lab at noon."

Chapter 110 Changguang: Is Otto serious?

"Eh!?"

Hearing Gwen's answer, Anna couldn't help but look a little surprised.

Anna originally thought that Gwen's so-called experiment was just testing weapons or something, and she never expected that he would participate in it to this extent.

"Okay~_~"

However, although she felt a little disappointed, Anna did not act unreasonably. Instead, she shrugged her small nose and forced a smile.

"Then there will be no share for you, Gwen, at today's lunch."

"You knew I was going to have a box lunch, but you still secretly had a big meal. Anna, can you really bear it?"

Hearing this, Gwen's expression became somewhat heavy, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, just kidding. I'm so tired, how can I have the energy to make lunch?"

Anna covered her mouth and chuckled, then punched Gwen's shoulder lightly with her little fist.

“Okay, let’s go, start early and finish early.

If you come back in the evening, please send me a message."

"Well, see you tonight."

Gwen said no more, waved his hand and went towards the Saint 1504 Institute.

"See you tonight……"

Annabell waved her little hand and watched Gwen leave. She bit her pink lips lightly with her teeth, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her little face.

Meanwhile, in the director's office of the Saint 1504 Research Institute, Changguang was welcoming a rare guest... If you ignore her unfriendly attitude—

"Mr. Otto, when I signed the contract, I didn't say anything about providing emotional counseling, did I?"

Although the golden retriever in front of him was his immediate superior, Changguang did not hide his dissatisfaction at all.

"Oh, of course..."

Facing Changguang who was questioning him condescendingly with his hands on his hips, Otto chuckled and raised his hands to show that he realized his mistake.

"If that's the case, then why did you give me such an order before?"

Seeing that Otto didn't make excuses as expected, Changguang's stern expression relaxed a little:

"In my impression, Bishop Otto, although you're not a good...good gentleman, you're not bad enough to issue such a foolish order."

Although Changguang has some confidence when facing Otto because of his own talents, as a smart man, Changguang also knows that there is no bottom line.

Therefore, after Otto showed his cooperation, Changguang's attitude quickly softened.

However, although his attitude softened, Changguang's eyes were still fixed on Otto, waiting for his answer.

"Yeah, a stupid order."

Otto nodded in agreement with Changguang's comments, which were still very harsh, although he had restrained them a bit.

"so……"

Changguang stared closely at Otto's expression, confirming that the words of his immediate superior were indeed from the heart, and he couldn't help but feel even more confused.

You know the order is stupid but you still give it. Are you crazy, Otto?

However, facing Changguang's questioning gaze, Otto's smile remained unchanged, and his tone was flat:

"But, my dear friend, you must know that stupidity is often the tone of this world."

"..."

Changguang blinked, not commenting on Otto's subjective and arbitrary nonsense, but he still couldn't help but wonder what Otto was trying to say -

Doesn't she look like the kind of girl who can be fooled by just a few words?

Facing Changguang's questioning gaze, Otto smiled without saying a word. A faint light quietly lit up in the hands behind his back, and an illusory feather quietly appeared in his palm.

However, before the invisible spiritual fluctuations could spread, the door of Changguang's director's office was knocked.

Immediately, without waiting for the two people in the room to say anything, the door was pushed open, and Gwen, carrying the harvest he had made in the past few days, entered the room.

"Um?

Lord Bishop? "

Looking at Otto with some surprise, Gwen quickly thought of the reason why Otto appeared here -

"Are you here today to check on the progress of the experiment?"

"It's not really an inspection, I just came to take a look when I had time."

The feather in the palm of his hand behind his back quietly dissipated, and Otto, as if nothing had happened, had a smile on his face that was as refreshing as spring breeze.

"As for you, Gwen, you should have just returned this morning, right? Did you come directly to the research institute?"

"Well, research is important after all."

Gwen nodded, lifted the box containing the magic stone in his hand, and showed a sunny smile on his face.

When facing Otto again at this time, Gwyn was no longer as nervous and cautious as he was last year. He was able to face it calmly.

"Don't push yourself too hard."

Looking at Gwen's smile, Otto's heart moved slightly. He stood up and patted Gwen's shoulder.

“The body is the most important thing…

I don't want to lose humanity's best future warriors because of a trivial experiment."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. I will grasp the right degree."

Gwen held his head high and chest out, looking straight ahead, and spoke seriously.

If Gwyn hadn't known that the man in front of him was a madman (treasure knowledge language) whose only thought was about a woman who had been dead for five hundred years, he would have almost been conquered by the man's personal charm.

But until now, Gwyn can only act.

"Good boy, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Looking at Gwyn like this, Otto's face showed a little more satisfaction, and his voice was a little relieved.

"You are still young and have a long way to go. There is no need to rush. Perseverance is the greatest test."

“I will work hard to develop that resilience.”

Gwen nodded vigorously, his expression serious.

"Yes, I am ambitious."

Otto smiled again and patted Gwyn's shoulder.

"However, this kind of resilience cannot be achieved simply through hard work; a balance between work and rest is also an important part of it."

"..."

Changguang, who was standing by, looked at Otto, the kind elder, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Could it be that the ridiculous task Otto gave himself before was really just because he admired Gwyn's arrangement too much, rather than some conspiracy?

Even with Changguang's self-proclaimed good eyesight, he could not see any falsehood in Otto, and he could not help but doubt his previous guess.

"Okay, since you said so, let's continue the experiment this morning -

I'll come and help, and we'll try to finish today's task by noon."

After chatting with Gwyn for a few more words, Otto, who failed to persuade Gwyn to go back, did not try to persuade him any further and had to say this.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, you truly care about little Gwyn..."

Seeing that Otto looked like he was going to fight himself, Changguang, who was watching silently from the side, smiled.

"A good and sensible child deserves more attention instead of being ignored, doesn't he?"

Otto smiled calmly at this.

Meanwhile, Anna, who had washed up thoroughly, didn't relax as she had promised. Instead, she changed into her training uniform and headed for the training ground...

Chapter 111 Chance Encounter

Time passed bit by bit as the research progressed. With the strong support of a dedicated Archbishop of Destiny, the materials brought back by Gwyn had been used up by noon.

With the input of a new batch of materials, this research project, which was just launched a little over a month ago, finally has some progress.

"How beautiful..."

Looking at the energy distribution diagram displayed on the monitor, he wrapped himself up like a dumpling again and could only see a little bit of skin light through the eyepiece, and couldn't help but sigh.
