Chapter 2377: Chapter 2372: AFK Lisa

"Don’t be nervous, just noticed you don’t seem to be doing well."

The real human joys and sorrows do not connect; Professor Lisa’s gaze clearly lingered in perplexity about showing concern.

Even Riet, who was nearby, felt the strange atmosphere, but his body was no longer so stiff.

In this situation, Professor Fu’s further comments clearly made the atmosphere even more peculiar.

"...Are you sure? I feel alright."

Lisa seemed to be somewhat shaken, instinctively touching her neck.

If anyone else said this, she might not care, but the person before her not only held an impressive ranking, his past achievements were indeed remarkable.

Indeed, she seemed fine.

Fu Qian didn’t rush to refute this statement, just carefully observed down the subject’s hand.

White skin, red lips, long eyes carrying an aura of allure, even the hair color suggests a full vitality.

In all aspects, she appeared as a healthy adult; it was indeed difficult to find fault.

"True, maybe I was overthinking it."

Without overly rude gazing, Fu Qian withdrew his gaze shortly thereafter, nodding to acknowledge the correctness of the other party’s words—after all, the elderly demigod just mentioned was referring not to physical but mental issues.

Typically such problems are hard to self-check, in line with Professor Lisa’s reaction.

Because of the special situation in perception, he was almost naive in this respect, which matched the current observations.

Though changes weren’t entirely absent—under the gaze radar, Professor Lisa’s calamity resistance showed a slight improvement compared to the first meeting yesterday.

...

Everything competes to flourish, just like this.

Yesterday was even around the same time, up until now not even twenty-four hours have passed.

Yet within just one day, the Academy showed thriving vitality and Professor Lisa, while still handling administrative tasks, seemed to have passively grown in prowess?

Additionally, this growth apparently emerged as early as last night.

Indeed, when Lisa went to deliver the Divine Flesh of Kaldora to the lab, his suggestion to stay a bit longer was precisely due to that slight anomaly observed under the gaze radar.

One of the hypotheses at the time was frequent contact with Kaldora’s Divine Flesh causing it.

Considering his past communication with Cass, Lisa’s background was almost confirmed—

Born an extraordinary creature, coupled with nourishment from the Divine Flesh of Kaldora under Cass’s guidance, in short, almost the most outstanding result of Heaven’s Commencement Institute’s studies in this regard.

Yet despite having the prohibition on her neck, curiosity about the consequences of excessive contact with such things lingered.

Unfortunately, even after removing Kaldora’s Divine Flesh, there seemed to be no alleviation.

...

Today’s volunteering included the core purpose of confirming the state changes.

If Professor Lisa hadn’t hurried off yesterday, he might not have needed to come for a check.

Of course, though Professor Lisa was outspoken, she wasn’t foolish, still wearing an expression of skepticism.

"Did you happen to see Cass later?"

Noticing the awkward atmosphere, Fu Qian seamlessly changed the subject without blinking.

"No... I fear I wouldn’t resist forcing him to eat it."

This hand at switching provocations proved highly effective, momentarily drawing attention to another more prominent object of resentment, quickly diverting Lisa’s focus.

Shaking her head while glaring at the pile on the table, her fierce appearance was clearly genuine.

Professor Lisa indeed showed boldness in expressing grievances.

In this scene, Fu Qian couldn’t help but silently commend.

Separating facts, the previous rebuke aside, didn’t affect his aversion to these things, truly becoming a pragmatic academic.

"But ultimately, these still need to be handed over for his review, even after being sorted... so we’d better start quickly."

Though admiring, Fu Qian didn’t delay reminding her of the harsh reality.

Oh—

Professor Fu’s reminder indeed held great persuasive power, with Lisa, having just expressed herself, soon falling silent with a sigh.

Seeing the volunteers really picking up the files for review, she too sat down, resigned.

The morning meeting, with its slight interruption, thus ended, leaving only the appreciation of ingenious ideas.

...

Regrettably, the elderly lady was not very cooperative, otherwise, at least a name could be known, helping confirm if it was on the list of the year.

As time ticked away, Fu Qian leisurely navigated the sea of knowledge, analyzing his findings.

As the only one aware of the slight incident, of course, he wouldn’t casually overlook the experience.

From the brief interaction, it was clear the elderly lady wasn’t easy to deal with, so not much effort was spent, directly testing other aspects.

Besides the previous conclusion, the effect of Engraving Wisdom still had additional insights worth noting.

For instance, although the time span seemed quite free, spatially there seemed to follow nearby effects somewhat.

No need to mention Miss Liushuang earlier; the elderly lady was once the lab owner, triggering this interaction upon his arrival—similar to a warehouse task?

Indeed, in Fu Qian’s view, this was the most intriguing part.

Already at Ye Island, there had been a faint guess about the warehouse’s operational patterns.

And upon reaching Night Holy City, he made full use of it, rendering the promotion process smoother.

Therefore, Fu Qian has always been highly sensitive in this regard.

The performance of "Engraving Wisdom" indeed successfully widened the scope.

It seemed less like food poisoning-induced mental confusion, instead akin to a warehouse, involving certain underlying logic of world operations.

It also seemed to explain why Kaldora ranked first among Heaven’s Commencement Institute’s Four Horsemen.

From the Holy Infant Star incident, the primary unresolved mystery was why Kaldora could be last in rank.

The analysis result at the time was that her calamitous aspect brought forth the "Crystal Blessing".

Even as events unfolded, the latter’s peculiar nature gradually surfaced.

Yet, the insight gained from this moment could be said to instantly elevate the severity to a new height.

"Engraving Wisdom" was indeed a negative effect, like the world’s illogical fallacy occasionally flashing before the eyes.

Yet it wasn’t entirely devoid of significance, on one hand, he was comparatively resilient, and on the other hand, the fallacy seemed to occasionally extract a spark of wisdom—like the things in his hands now.

Is this what they call the highest realm where everything interconnects at the core?

In admiration, Fu Qian set down the candidate file for the treasury.

"That’s it for today? I still have some things to attend to."
