Chapter 228: Willing Heart, Task Feedback Part 2
Chapter 228: Willing Heart, Task Feedback Part 2
On the surface, Li Qian was still chatting happily with Sun Ruirui.
In reality, his mind was filled with questions, leaving him utterly confused.
Bewilderment was his only thought at that moment.
What had happened?
How did his Inspiration Points suddenly increase out of the blue?
And how did Task Two get completed so abruptly?
As his bewilderment gradually subsided, Li Qian soon formed a guess.
Recalling the girl's words, a term suddenly popped into his mind—Willing Heart!
Yes, it was Willing Heart!
If there was something in their conversation that could have triggered the Inspiration Points, the most likely possibility was... Willing Heart!
With this thought, Li Qian struggled to contain his excitement and continued chatting with the girl, showing no unusual change in expression.
This wasn't the right time to submit the task.
Time flew, and by four in the afternoon, they had finished touring most of the Companion Beast habitats in the Red Bridge Estate and returned to the research tower, where Sun Ruirui lived.
Butler Liao Bo appeared at the right moment and spoke up, intentionally reminding Li Qian, "Breeder Li, it's getting late. If we wait until nightfall, it might not be convenient to move around."
Li Qian glanced at Liao Bo.
Do you have to be so obvious about wanting me to leave?
Just as Li Qian was thinking of leaving the Red Bridge Estate and returning to submit the task, Sun Ruirui's voice suddenly rang out, "No, I've already told Brother Qian that he's staying here tonight and won't be leaving the estate."
Hearing this, Liao Bo's lips twitched slightly.
Li Qian's lips also twitched, mirroring Liao Bo's expression.
What's going on?
When did I say I'd stay here tonight?
He looked at Sun Ruirui in confusion, and she winked at him, indicating that he shouldn't make it too obvious.
Li Qian sighed and turned his head, only to see that Liao Bo's face had darkened like the bottom of a pot.
He shot a cold glance, not saying a word, but his unspoken threat was crystal clear.
If you dare agree to stay, just watch how I'll deal with you!
Li Qian was a hundred percent certain that this was the message in Liao Bo's eyes.
After confirming the hidden threat in Liao Bo's gaze, Li Qian smiled meaningfully and said without hesitation, "Yes, I've already told Ruirui that I'll stay tonight and keep her company!"
As he finished saying "keep her company," Li Qian emphasized the words, as if deliberately stressing something.
As expected, Liao Bo's expression turned even gloomier.
Li Qian found this amusing.
They had dinner in the Red Bridge Estate, and afterward, Li Qian found an excuse to be alone for a few minutes, during which he submitted the task.
After submitting the task, a flood of information rushed into his mind. Fortunately, most of it was already within his grasp, so it didn't take long to process and absorb.
After digesting all the information from the task submission, Li Qian's expression turned peculiar.
From the evolution method of the Golden Pearl Bud to the Tide Sea Spirit, whether it was the steps or the resources, everything matched Sun Hongyi's previous process exactly.
This detail had already crossed Li Qian's mind when his Inspiration Points increased, even before he submitted the task.
Indeed, his suspicions were not unfounded. The problem indeed lay with the Golden Orb that Jin Shibashi had offered.
According to the information imparted, the Golden Orb was the essence of the Golden Pearl Bud, containing an extremely rich life force that shared the same origin. It could aid the Golden Pearl Bud in breaking free from the shackles of life and evolving into a Tide Sea Spirit.
This detail was actually a bit unexpected for Li Qian. Evolving the Golden Pearl Bud into a Tide Sea Spirit did require a fellow species to offer its Golden Orb upon reaching the limit of its racial potential.
Here, there was a crucial detail—the offering must be voluntary and willing, or the evolution would undoubtedly fail.
The reason for failure was simple. The Golden Orb was the essence of the Golden Pearl Bud, containing the extremely strong mental will of its original owner.
This strong mental will was a double-edged sword. It could aid the evolving Companion Beast in transcending its shackles, but it could also influence their minds, leading to a failed evolution.
Undoubtedly, Sun Hongyi's previous evolution experiment fell into the latter category.
This also explained why Ah Hai could complete the evolution while other Golden Pearl Buds couldn't replicate this success.
"Even the wise can make mistakes," Li Qian murmured to himself after absorbing the knowledge from the Golden Finger's guidance.
He couldn't believe that Sun Hongyi and Sun Ruirui hadn't considered this oversight, but they had, and it had become a case of the blind leading the blind.
As a result, Li Qian had stumbled upon their oversight.
As he pondered, Li Qian felt refreshed and invigorated, as if his senses had sharpened.
Initially, he attributed this to the resolution of a long-standing issue, which had brightened his mood considerably.
However, he soon realized something was amiss. Without hesitation, he contacted Sun Ruirui, "Ruirui, is there a mental strength testing device in the Red Bridge Estate?"
Although Li Qian asked, he was almost certain there would be one.
After all, Sun Ruirui's mental strength was like a thunderclap, and Li Qian couldn't imagine Sun Hongyi not monitoring it constantly.
Indeed, his suspicions were confirmed. Soon, the girl's clear and pleasant voice gave an affirmative reply, "Of course there is, Brother Qian. Do you need it?"
"Yes, I feel like I've made some progress, and I want to see if my mental strength has improved," Li Qian replied.
Moments later, the two arrived at a research room, and the girl handed Li Qian a mental strength testing helmet.
Without hesitation, Li Qian put it on.
As the button on the helmet was pressed, a row of small red lights began to flicker one after another.
The lights flickered, brightening and dimming, dimming and brightening, finally settling on a specific value.
"Wow, Brother Qian, you're amazing! Your mental strength has reached the Elite Seventh Rank!" The girl exclaimed in surprise and delight upon seeing the value displayed on the helmet.
Sun Ruirui remembered that Li Qian had said he awakened his powers just a few months before the college entrance exam.
In other words, even now, less than half a year had passed, and his mental strength had already reached the level of the Elite Seventh Rank.
At this thought, waves of emotion stirred within Sun Ruirui's heart. Brother Qian's talent was truly awe-inspiring.
