Facing an Ancient God for a Year - Chapter 2376 - 2371: Previous Owner

It is said that proper rest is very important; balancing work and leisure makes things twice as effective with half the effort!

Being suddenly reprimanded out of the blue, anyone would inevitably feel a bit displeased.

However, at that moment, the technical leader’s composure once again showed; Professor Fu’s first reaction was surprisingly full of comfort.

The Engraving Wisdom acted up again; it was indeed a judgment easy to make.

Compared to the Academy and the mysterious demigod he doesn’t know, who have the means to evade his eyes, open doors in front of him, or even teleport in, Fu Qian leans toward believing that the mysterious High Tier before him doesn’t truly exist in reality.

And even though this is such a confused situation, why would one still conclude that “rest really is important”?

Simple. The first to appear was a demigod, regardless of how talented Miss Liushuang was last time, her ranking was still solidly suppressed.

Even if it is confusion, there are levels to it!

After sleeping, the scale is clearly larger. Isn’t that considered progress?

Secondly, the old lady speaking may not be the current demigod of the Academy, but this tone suggests she treats the present place as her own home.

If memory serves, this place of Professor Lisa’s is as old as my lab, which implies that before Cass, there might have been a previous owner—like the casualty in that exploration activity?

If that’s indeed the case, wouldn’t it mean there’s been a major breakthrough in time span?

Even more progress.

“She, she let me in.”

Of course, progress is progress, but respecting the elderly and sages should not be forgotten.

Facing the old demigod woman’s questioning, Fu Qian didn’t bat an eye and directly pointed at Lisa beside him.

…

In the state of Engraving Wisdom, others will also react, rather than being pure background.

At that moment, the surroundings were very quiet, but it didn’t delay Fu Qian from continuing to summarize.

Watching Lisa Professor’s face go from bewilderment to a rich palette of expressions, Fu Qian knew well that his pointing gesture had been received by the person concerned.

The deductions made by Wen Li before turned out to be problem-free; it’s as if all this happened in a time gap, snapshots taken of everyone around, none of which relate to the real world.

“Who are you? How did you get in?”

And although always dissatisfied with the two demigods of Heaven’s Commencement Institute, Lisa in this state didn’t falter at all.

Even though Professor Fu instantly transformed into a disgraceful witness, she had no intention of dwelling on it, instead directly turning her focus back on the old lady with an even sharper tone.

“Of course, I am the owner here…”

Feeling somewhat uneasy, the old demigod woman responded blandly while her gaze swept over the faces of Fu Qian and the other three; the mortal Riet had already stiffened like wood at that moment.

Is that an admission? Truly commendable.

Fu Qian naturally wouldn’t mind the impolite stares, and even because of the new findings, returned a smile.

Have I really encountered a former Academy elite? It’s undeniable that this Engraving Wisdom finally lived up a bit to its last character.

No matter how bizarre the form and angle, even with potential danger, it has at least helped to glimpse some incredible things.

One must have a broad perspective; human wisdom is inherently bizarre.

“What are you doing?”

While Fu Qian was tallying gains, the old demigod woman asked again.

Following her gaze, it’s noticeable that she’s staring at the pile of documents on the table.

“Seeking value in the failures of mentors.”

The tone was still unfriendly, but Fu Qian was extremely pleased with her question at that moment and answered honestly right away.

…

“An error is an error—constantly trying to turn it into something good is the hallmark of a fool!”

As it turns out, it instantly sparked intense reactions.

Seemingly stimulated, the old demigod woman’s eyes turned fierce for a moment, delivering coldly sharp criticism.

“Oh really? Can you guarantee to always be correct?”

Without waiting for Fu Qian to remark, it was Professor Lisa who couldn’t bear it anymore.

Initially stunned by the “owner of the lab” remark from the other side, she now couldn’t accept the word “fool.”

“Success may have elements of chance, but failure definitely has its reasons. Sharing this generously enlightens others—do you consider this a shameful thing?”

Admittedly, it was quite the contrast; although there had been strong opinions about Cass’s plan for the repository and Professor Fu’s “leadership eternal correctness,” in this peculiar environment, “Lisa” firmly defended this idea.

Her unwavering questioning included words that Fu Qian recognized as mimicking his own statements.

“Noisy!”

Unfortunately, she was still too young; barely had her words ended when Professor Lisa faced a full-scale dimensional reduction attack.

The old demigod woman didn’t even give her an extra glance, simply uttering a cold reprimand.

As the breath was expelled, her facial wrinkles relaxed slightly, while an invisible force spread outward.

…

What is this? A language suppression spell?

Almost caught in the front row, although Fu Qian wasn’t particularly affected, he still savored some elements at that moment.

No question, she initiated something, and to describe it specifically, it’s as if the concept of language was forcibly suppressed wherever it enveloped.

Not to the extent of complete prohibition, for people like Professor Lisa, perhaps akin to their language centers being paralyzed?

Moreover, there was a tendency towards other areas, evident from the dulling gazes.

Lisa, who had been ready to say more, soon stood there dumbly.

“Is there really nothing valuable in errors worth exploring?”

Faced with such a scene, Fu Qian didn’t rush to help unseal, but supported Professor Lisa’s earlier determined argument.

“You… how? Who exactly are you?”

Even the previously mighty old lady was clearly startled by his voice.

“Just call me Fu Qian, so is there truly nothing? It seems to me you do regard this with some importance.”

Not losing his smile, Fu Qian politely introduced himself while gesturing again towards the table.

“Never heard of you… not interested either, and absolutely not planning to tell you anything.”

But alas, the old lady was too worldly, merely sneering while surveying the surroundings, unwilling to yield.

“Although I’m not sure of your exact antics, a beast isn’t fit to lecture me.”

Her gaze sweeping over Lisa, her words were significantly impolite as well.

“Frankly, I think her mental state seems a bit concerning; you’d better take her for treatment.”

“Is that so?”

Fu Qian followed the gaze, only to find the charming face of Professor Lisa showing no reaction, her mind seemingly ceased functioning.

“That’s really a pity then—”

And before the words were fully spoken, a giant claw already ripped through the old lady’s figure.

…

So characters within Engraving Wisdom can indeed be eliminated, potentially ending things prematurely.

The “original owner of the laboratory” no longer left any trace, as Fu Qian’s view focused on Professor Lisa’s furrowed brow while he continued to derive a test result.
