Chapter 512: The Final Window Paper
Chapter 512: The Final Window Paper
"She's not coming back...?" Lu Tianjiao muttered to himself, his expression filled with dejection, and a hint of complex emotions flickered across his face.
"Alas!" Li Qian nodded and let out a long sigh. "Speaking of which, she's also a victim of an undeserved disaster."
Lu Tianjiao fell silent upon hearing these words, lost in thought.
Regarding Mary Gallovy, to be honest, Lu Tianjiao felt a sense of guilt. The past romantic experience, though it ended without incident, was ultimately his fault.
Now, with her sudden disappearance, it was impossible for him to feel nothing.
In fact, at this moment, his heart was in turmoil, and the ripples of emotion were unpredictable. In the past, he had also encountered attacks by cultists.
He had witnessed the tragic sacrifices of beastmasters, but those experiences didn't affect him as deeply because they weren't people close to him.
But at this moment, he truly felt the danger, right by his side, surrounding him.
"Why would it be her?" Lu Tianjiao still couldn't quite believe it. He shook his head and let out a pained sound.
A vibrant girl, who had occasionally bickered with him, was just gone, and for a moment, Lu Tianjiao struggled to accept it.
"Perhaps it's a case of the enemy within," Li Qian said. "Do you remember the attack we encountered before?"
"That time, Mary was infested by the Blood Spirit Parasite of the Blood Demon Sect and launched a crazed attack on both of us."
"After the attack, we made the mistake of assuming the Blood Demon Sect wouldn't target Mary again. But we never expected..."
In the dormitory, the two of them sat in low spirits. After about an hour, they fell silent.
"You should get some rest," Li Qian said to Lu Tianjiao, changing the subject. "The departed is gone, and all we can do is wish for her happiness and well-being in another world."
There were some things Li Qian didn't say, but after seeing the determination in Lu Tianjiao's eyes, he decided not to speak further.
He already knew what Lu Tianjiao was going to do. Seeing his silent departure, Li Qian didn't try to stop him.
Since his advancement to the Overlord Rank, Li Qian's Golden Finger had undergone a new change, and his task list had increased from two to three.
However, as he hadn't decided on a specific task to create yet, his task list currently only displayed one task.
This task was the evolution method for the Silver Crown Crimson Feather Chicken, and its progress had already reached 98%. Only two points were needed to complete the evolution, but those final two points eluded him.
He had already researched the required materials for evolution, the Voidbreak Stone and Spirit Dew, and had figured out the 'ignition' method—the Concentration Array.
Logically, everything was in place, and nothing was lacking. Yet, the task progress was stuck at 98%.
This left Li Qian feeling frustrated, not knowing how to proceed, and his research direction stalled.
As for directly filling in two achievement points, Li Qian didn't even consider it. The task feedback was currently his most effective way to enhance his combat power.
If he used achievement points, all task feedback would disappear, and the value would be greatly discounted.
So, unless absolutely necessary, Li Qian would never use achievement points to fill in this task progress.
After two days of contemplation with no results, Li Qian decided to leave the research base and wander around the secret realm.
"Meow!" Radiant Light Cat followed behind him, also wandering. It raised its head and meowed.
"What's troubling you?" Radiant Light Cat noticed that Li Qian was deep in thought even as he wandered, so it asked.
Li Qian thought for a moment and replied casually, "I'm thinking about a beast's evolution method. It feels like I'm just missing the final layer of window paper."
