Although the current local sampling robot technology is not particularly advanced, many times it is said to be intelligent, but in reality, it is not much different from being mentally handicapped.

However, under close proximity, completing simple sampling and human body testing is not difficult.

A few minutes later.

This sampling device, somewhat similar to a sweeping robot, was sent into the operation room.

Click, click, click——

The robot's chassis slowly slid across the floor, quickly arriving by Hua Xiaomo's side.

From the screen, it could be seen.

This beast-eared girl's expression was very peaceful at the moment.... no, very content, as if she were in a dream.

Pst——

A sampling needle extended from the side of the robot.

Then, under the control of Wang Qiang, a small tube of blood sample was taken from the girl's left arm.

At the same time.

The robot's built-in simple detection template also received start-up instructions one after another.

Several tentacles extended, recording her heartbeat, armpit temperature, blood pressure, and hair sample information.

Ten minutes later.

The sampling robot returned normally.

The related data analysis was handed over to other team members to complete, while Wang Qiang went to analyze the collected blood samples.

Although the analysis of the samples is not troublesome in terms of process, it does require some time.

Therefore, Lin Li and others weren't in a hurry, patiently waiting at the command platform.

Ten minutes passed just like that.

Wang Qiang's side was still quiet, but Zhang Guanghua, who went to contact Ma Ning, quickly walked over:

"Captain Lin, Professor Ma has sent a message, he's on line number two."

Lin Li immediately straightened up, signaling:

"Oh? Quickly let the operator connect."

A moment later.

Ma Ning's image appeared on the screen.

At this moment, the little old man was holding a thermal mug, barely making out a few goji berries.

After confirming the signal was normal, he got straight to the point, saying:

"Captain Lin, the runes you asked me to investigate have results."

Zeng Gu Cheng came over at this moment, asking:

"Old Ma, tell us specifically?"

"Oh, it's Old Zeng."

Ma Ning nodded in greeting to him, their experience in assisting Yang Zhengchu through tribulation recently had brought them a bit closer than before:

"Didn't the command transmit a total of five runes?

We're in luck; all five runes are within the Yang Family's knowledge range."

Saying this, Ma Ning picked up a rune similar to a mosquito coil and said:

"This is the rune marked as number one, pronounced as δξυ in Damo language.

The nature of this main rune is somewhat similar to local prepositions, like 'to' or '于' in these words.

Captain Lin, Old Zeng, here's a language question for you:

Do you remember the concept of prepositions?"

Lin Li was momentarily stunned, then thought for a moment:

"Prepositions.... I remember they are positioned in front, unable to serve as a sentence component on their own, usually followed by a noun or pronoun.... that's all I remember."

"Remembering that much is already impressive, and you hit the nail on the head."

Ma Ning nodded approvingly, seeing Zeng Gu Cheng still somewhat puzzled, he explained:

"Old Zeng, just as Captain Lin said, prepositions are positioned in front.

It means that what's important is not the prepositions themselves, but the words that follow them.

For instance, the Yang Family's teleportation array.

The destination of the teleportation array after the number one rune is connected to places like Frost Snow City, Anhua City, etc.

By the same logic.

The runes on the halo beside Hua Xiaomo should follow this pattern.

Of course.

What follows the number one rune might not necessarily be a place name, but it's definitely a noun or pronoun.

If we can uncover their secret, we might figure out the energy source."

Then he paused briefly, continuing:

"The second rune is a noun, but the specific semantics are unknown to the Yang Family.

But according to Yang Zhengchu.

The more of this rune, the more stable the array becomes.

I reckon it might have some local firewall nature, but much higher than the ordinary firewall — because we've also collected a lot of runes for ordinary defensive arrays, and the difficulty of drawing them and their commonality are not on the same level.

As for the third and fourth runes, they are simpler, part of the foundational runes for constructing channels.

Just like local electrical wires, they form the cornerstone of a teleportation array.

This is exactly why.

We see them glowing and flickering each time."

After finishing with the four runes, Ma Ning took a sip of goji berry tea.

One reason was to moisten his throat, the other was to give Lin Li and Zeng Gu Cheng enough time to digest the information.

After about half a minute.

Ma Ning's expression slightly tightened, continuing:

"As for the last fifth rune.... it's rather special."

Lin Li's interest was piqued upon hearing that:

"Oh? What's so special about it?"

"It's an.... ancient rune."

Ma Ning took a deep breath, seriously stating:

"It is said that this type of rune has existed for tens of thousands of years, a living fossil-level rune of the Damo Realm.

According to Yang Zhengchu.

The role of this rune is to communicate between the heavens and the earth, converting spiritual energy into unknown forces to initiate the initial stage of teleportation.

Moreover, this type of rune cannot be inscribed by any means and must be unearthed from ancient ruins in some dangerous places.

There is also a rumor...

The former homeland of the ancients contained a large number of such runes."

Upon hearing this.

Lin Li couldn't help exchanging a glance with Zeng Gu Cheng, seeing deep shock and joy in each other's eyes.

Actually, at the beginning, Lin Li and the others only contacted Ma Ning with the thought of trying without any cost.

After all, there's no harm in using the Yang Family as a tool.

Unexpectedly.....

Ma Ning actually brought back such a big surprise this time!

Among these five runes.

Runes Three and Four are actually not very useful; they're considered as basic, common goods.

It's not to the extent that they should be ignored.

After all, they are foundational technology; without them, the array wouldn't function, so they count as prerequisite conditions.

But from a research perspective, they only need to be deciphered and used, without any progressive value.

Rune Two is like a firewall, suspected to be some kind of space-related 'key,' and it obviously has considerable research potential.

For example, the quantum hidden state sensing that Academician Pan is working on; transmitting keys is a difficult and yet unconquered area.

Aside from the three runes above, the value of Rune One is actually the lowest.

But as a preposition, the runes connected after it must possess a certain practical meaning.

Whether it's a place name or another pronoun, they can contribute significantly to current research.

In short.

The floor of the runes connected to Rune One is roughly city names, but the ceiling is hard to estimate.

As for Rune Five...

It's not only the core of the array but also an output terminal.

To put it this way.

Upon learning that it was inherited from ancient times, the first reaction in the minds of Lin Li and the others was...

This is an imprint left by an ancestral civilization!

And it's an imprint that can still operate.

Just for that reason alone, Lin Li and the others considered it worth going all in.

Indeed.

These runes might be of little use at present, representing only a few percent compared to all runes.

But don't forget.

The rabbits have something called a supercomputing database.

Many information and laws that the Yang Family couldn't provide can be finely analyzed by supercomputing.

Perhaps two runes that appear unrelated to the naked eye, the supercomputing could find a 40% or 60% similarity, thereby achieving breakthroughs.

Similar examples have already appeared locally — scientists via supercomputing's comparison ability helped find ancestors for marine snails, and incidentally published over sixty papers.

This incident later spread to domestic circles, and a bunch of idle professors shamelessly copied the work, using up a significant amount of supercomputing resources to study ants, wolf spiders, and even southern cockroaches.

Fortunately, the rabbits reacted quickly, issuing a slew of administrative orders and even penalties to stop these actions.

Of course.

This situation doesn't only occur domestically; the Eagles, neighbors, and Gaul have also been copying work, with a Nepali lab even publishing over a hundred and seventy papers insanely...

Returning to the topic.

In summary.

It's still as said before.

The Dao begets one, which is the hardest; one begets two, two begets three, which just requires enough accumulation.

After exchanging related information, Lin Li also passed on more rune samples to Ma Ning.

These runes total about 300 pieces, and only a few have ever flashed.

This means, theoretically, some runes might be completely useless, like eventually being deciphered to be "ah," "oh," "eh" or something.

But likewise.

The decryption duration for these 300 runes is long, and immediate results are not required.

Ma Ning can seek out Yang Zhengchu today, and Yang Bolin the day after, unlike the urgency this time.

Given the image of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Race that the Yang Family has now brainstormed, these small assists really aren't much.

Another half hour passed.

Wang Qiang excitedly ran over to Lin Li's side:

"Teacher, Xiaomo's blood analysis report is out; no issues were found!"

Lin Li glanced through the report and pointed at the computer screen, saying:

"The results of routine information came out sooner than yours, and the data are all normal.

That means.

Theoretically, we can make physical contact with Hua Xiaomo.

But you still have to be cautious, since normal physiological status doesn't mean mental status is also normal.

In a world like the Damo Realm, anything unknown can potentially happen."

Wang Qiang puffed out her chest instantly:

"Rest assured, I understand."

As Lin Li said.

Physiological and mental states actually have no direct correlation; theoretically, the risk Hua Xiaomo currently poses cannot be entirely dismissed.

For all we know, the halo might be like a ghoul seal, where Hua Xiaomo wakes up to find a Nine-tailed Fox within herself.

Wang Qiang clearly understood this too, so her plan was practical:

First carry this Beast-eared Girl to another observation room with a bed, so as not to leave the young girl lying on the cold, hard floor.

This was a humane approach, without risk and not overly benevolent.

Therefore, after getting Lin Li's permission.

Wang Qiang quickly opened the operating room, walked to Hua Xiaomo's side in a lab coat.

However, just as she was about to pick up Hua Xiaomo.

This young girl suddenly twitched her tail a few times and groggily opened her eyes.

Consequently.

Wang Qiang's hand just stopped in mid-air, looking like she was playing the Statues game.

A few seconds later.

Hua Xiaomo propped herself up and rubbed her eyes:

"Wang Qiang sister, what are you doing? Why are you wearing this big white outfit?"

Wang Qiang gave her a careful look and asked with concern:

"Xiaomo, are you okay?

Do you remember what happened just now?"

"Huh?"

Hua Xiaomo responded blankly, feeling her body with a puzzled expression.

She seemed to know nothing about what happened before.

However, as she touched around.

The expression of this Beast-eared Girl suddenly froze.

Wang Qiang noticed this change sharply and immediately asked:

"Xiaomo, what's wrong?

Is there any discomfort anywhere?"

Hua Xiaomo remained silent but her small face visibly turned bright red from its fair color.

After a while.

She covered her hands behind her back, flicking her ears a few times, and shyly said:

"Wang Qiang sister, it seems I've grown another tail...."

Wang Qiang: "What the hell?!"
