As the door opened, a slender figure swiftly walked in.
However, her speech halted midway the moment she saw Qiuqiu.
“How did you grow so big all of a sudden? Qiuqiu, did you learn to enlarge yourself?” Qin Nan blinked, casually scanning with her communicator and glanced over…
“Holy shit!” Qin Nan’s pupils shrank suddenly, “A commander rank?!”
Lin Su released the little black ape, allowing it to flee back to the other little black apes in panic, then turned and came to Qin Nan’s side, clearing his throat, “Sister Nan, my Beast Taming Space has reached the fourth level.”
“You…” Qin Nan’s expression was wooden, “Not only is your research speed fast, but your Beast Taming Space cultivation speed is also this fast?!”
Four months!
It had only been four months since this guy broke through to the third level of the Beast Taming Space!
Ever since she met this guy, her shock never ceased!
What kind of monster had she actually brought back from Zone 32?“You know, my Beast Taming Space is unusual…” Seeing Qin Nan’s face, which read ‘keep making up stories’, Lin Su found it difficult to continue. He cleared his throat, signaled to Qiuqiu by the side, took out a Space Heart and handed it to Qin Nan, “Alright, the truth is, it’s because of this.”
Now that his status was different from before, showing some unique features wasn’t too dangerous.
“What is this…” Qin Nan held the Space Heart, looking at it curiously, “It is quite pretty indeed.”
“Sister Nan, try holding it and meditating,” Lin Su prompted.
“Okay.” Qin Nan nodded, then closed her eyes. Moments later, her eyes snapped open, her expression one of shock, “You…”
She carefully watched the Space Heart in her hand, becoming cautious as if she was holding a fragile porcelain, “Can this thing be used indefinitely?”
“That won’t do,” Lin Su coughed lightly, “This thing will be exhausted in about a month, and the higher the level of the Beast Taming Space, the shorter the usage time will be.”
“That’s still not bad. Can we obtain a lot of these things?” Qin Nan asked anxiously.
If they could be obtained in large quantities, it would be incredibly useful!
“We can’t.” Lin Su’s expression was odd as he shook his head.
The Space Heart was only a fourth-grade resource.
However, it was always in short supply and its origin was a subject of much speculation.
Lin Su had once thought that it came from killing a certain kind of special space beast, or like the Cloud Dream Kun and the Illusion Dream Stone, it was produced by a powerful space immortal-rank beast.
It was only later during a casual conversation with Yan Susen that the well-informed Yan Susen gave him the answer.
The Space Heart, in fact, had nothing to do with space beasts.
Instead, it was produced by a special type of secret realm called the Source Secret Realm.
According to rumors, such realms are actually secret realms that were discovered prematurely before they fully formed, representing the initial state of all secret realms. ŗἈΝỌ฿Ěs
In terms of quality, this type of realm is even inferior to the Yellow-rank secret realms and doesn’t even have a Secret Realm Core.
Yet, it can continuously produce Space Hearts.
This single fact drove its value to a mind-boggling level.
A secret realm like this is valued higher than a mysterious-rank secret realm and could even lead to a war across empires.
The reason why the price of Space Hearts remains high within the territory of the Great Yan Empire is precisely that there are no Source Secret Realms available; the Space Hearts have to be purchased from the outside world at prices several times higher before the sellers are willing to part with them in small quantities.
And as for the Blue Star, there’s no such thing as a secret realm, so naturally, there would be no Space Hearts.
“Then keep it safe,” Qin Nan said, handing back the Space Heart without hesitation. “If your Beast Taming Space improves faster, you’ll be able to protect yourself sooner.”
“Nan Sister,” Lin Su coughed softly, not taking back the Space Heart from Nan Sister, but instead took out four more from Qiuqiu, “These are for you.”
The royal family had given him a hundred Space Hearts, and the Beast Taming Union had also given him dozens.
As the preliminary competition had ended, Space Hearts were not as scarce as before.
Thus, the Lin Family had also purchased some for Lin Su.
At this moment, Lin Su had over two hundred Space Hearts in his possession.
Once he made it to the upper sect, he would certainly not be lacking in these.
Nan Sister had always been kind to him; it was only right for him to give a few to Nan Sister in return.
After all, he had already said it out loud.
“You use it, this thing is so precious…” Qin Nan was in the middle of speaking when she suddenly paused, the realization hitting her, and she stared straight at Lin Su, “You little rascal, still have quite a few left?”
“I have enough for myself,” Lin Su nodded slightly.
“Then I won’t be polite!” Qin Nan rolled her eyes, unhesitatingly picking up the other four Space Hearts and carefully stuffing them into her pocket. “I have a level seven Dark Crystal Stone that I don’t need, from when we killed that Dark Crystal Beast, I’ll let Qiuqiu go with me to get it later.”
Well, he had made a profit.
“Alrighty!” Lin Su hee-heed with a smile, then continued, “By the way, Nan Sister, you were just talking about my researcher level assessment…”
He couldn’t help feeling nervous.
During the last researcher level assessment, because he had hidden data during the testing process of Qiuqiu’s species and class, the assessment had been put on hold.
He had no idea how this researcher level assessment would turn out.
The Alliance’s researcher levels were divided into official researcher, third level researcher, second level researcher, first level researcher, and Special Level Researcher.
After reaching the Special Level Researcher, there would be no further promotions based on research contributions, but some other honorary titles would be awarded.
For example, those who received the “Gleaming Scholar” medal could be called Gleaming Scholars.
It was the same with other honorary titles.
“First level researcher,” Qin Nan said, not keeping Lin Su in suspense, directly stating, “The researcher level assessment announcement will be made tomorrow, and your certification will be updated accordingly then.”
She looked at Lin Su and smiled, “Congratulations, you’ll be at the same level as me now.”
“It’s all thanks to Nan Sister’s good teaching,” Lin Su said very obediently, his face alight with a smile.
The Alliance’s secret levels corresponded with researcher levels.
As a first level researcher, he could access the Alliance’s first level secrets.
This included all known imperial species’ evolution pathways within the Alliance.
These were emperor-class species evolved from lower-tier pet beasts, which were very important references for Lin Su to find evolution directions for Qiuqiu and Qiuqiu next.
“Ding——”
The doorbell rang again.
Lin Su blinked, feeling that quite a number of people had come to see him today.
Without him having to say anything, Qiuqiu had already taken the initiative to go open the door.
Soon, a figure walked into the research lab.
