Chapter 180: Cultivating Su i
After feeding the snake swarm until they were full, Zhou Ming finally rode Silver Scale back to the underground camp.
After briefly learning about the changes in the camp over the past few days, Zhou Ming placed most of his attention on Su Ningfeng.
Although the gene structural diagram had not yet involved deeper-level research such as bloodlines, it was still quite a challenge for Su Ningfeng.
If not for the assistance of the intelligent assistant Snake Spirit, which could handle so chanical tasks, Su Ningfeng alone would not have been able to keep up.
“Sir, over the past few days I have already familiarized myself with and mastered all kinds of instrunts. I have now begun researching the genes of the Ironthread Snake, but obtaining a complete genetic structure diagram cannot be accomplished in a short ti.”
Inside the laboratory, Su Ningfeng, dressed in a lab coat, was reporting the latest progress to Qin Fan.
“You don’t need to rush this matter too much. I know the difficulty of genetic structure diagrams. You just need to do your best according to my requirents.”
“This docunt is one-third of the Ironthread Snake’s genetic structure diagram. Take so ti to study it carefully to avoid wasting ti on repetitive research, and it should also provide you with so research ideas.”
Toward Su Ningfeng, Zhou Ming did not impose any rigid deadlines.
Back then, he himself had researched Ironthread Snakes in Snake Valley for an entire year, so he understood very well the complexity of bloodlines and genes.
Even a small problem would require a great deal of ti and effort to resolve.
Now that it was confird Su Ningfeng had not lost his professional skills, Zhou Ming conveniently handed over his own past research results to him, with the purpose exactly as he had stated.
“Thank you, sir.”
“Also, I have a task arranged for Su i. It’s not a dangerous mission in the wilderness, but rather entering the base to help with deliveries. There’s no danger, but I wanted to inform you in advance so you won’t worry.”
After understanding the laboratory situation, Zhou Ming then inford Su Ningfeng of Su i’s arrangent, since she was Su Ningfeng’s daughter.
As the camp’s only research talent at present, he naturally needed to show so respect.
“Thank you, sir.”
Upon hearing that there was an assignnt for his daughter, Su Ningfeng could not help but feel nervous, but once he heard there was no danger, he imdiately expressed his gratitude.
After all, everyone in the camp had their own duties. Letting his daughter remain idle all the ti was not a good thing.
Having spent ten years in the wilderness, Su Ningfeng also understood that there was no such thing as pies falling from the sky.
“It’s good that you understand.”
After making arrangents for Su Ningfeng, Zhou Ming directly left the laboratory.
“Su i?”
Seeing that Su i was not in the small courtyard, Zhou Ming suddenly asked.
“Sir, Su i should be at the No. 2 Cave training ground.”
At the corner of the small courtyard, two Snake Guards stepped out from the shadows.
Ever since the establishnt of the Snake Guards, and with Su Ningfeng staying in his laboratory, there were always two Snake Guards guarding the courtyard, ensuring soone was always available to await Zhou Ming’s orders.
“Shi Lei, go and call Su i over to see .”
“Yes, sir.”
“Luo Feng, I have placed thirty sets of Saint Elephant Type-2 Combat Suits, Thunder Type-2 Revolvers, and Blood Hunter Type-3 Handguns in the storage room. Go notify Li Hu to take fifteen sets himself.”
“Among them, two sets are for Qiu Tieyi and Li Bao.”
“As for the Thunder Type-2 Revolver specialized bullets, thirty rounds per person. For the Blood Hunter Type-3 Handgun ammunition, you can take them as needed from the Internal Affairs Departnt.”
“Yes.”
After arranging the two of them, Zhou Ming returned to his own living room and brewed a cup of Blood Jade Royal Jelly.
After drinking good things for so long, Zhou Ming had little interest in ordinary tea or coffee.
A mont later, Su i arrived.
“Su i, do you still rember what life inside the base is like?”
This ti, Zhou Ming planned to have Su i take charge of transporting Sapphire Fish. Although she possessed strong survival abilities in the wilderness, he was worried that she might not understand the rules of the base and cause trouble.
After all, if sothing happened inside an Alliance base, with his current capabilities it would be very difficult to resolve.
“I only have a little impression.”
Facing Zhou Ming’s inquiry, Su i did not hesitate much and answered truthfully.
“Starting tomorrow, I will personally take you to Qinghui Base, to familiarize you with the environnt and ways of handling matters within Alliance bases.”
Within the camp, aside from Zhou Ming himself, only Su i currently had the qualifications to freely enter and exit Alliance bases. Her importance was no less than that of her father.
Moreover, the other party also possessed outstanding Beast Tar talent and had even mastered rare assassin techniques.
For such a talent, Zhou Ming did not mind investing a bit more effort in her.
“Yes.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Su i imdiately accepted Zhou Ming’s arrangent for her.
For Su i, as long as Zhou Ming could ensure her father’s safety and she no longer had to endure a life of displacent and wandering, she did not mind obeying Zhou Ming’s orders.
And the attitude Su i displayed also made Zhou Ming feel extrely satisfied. He imdiately took out the items he had prepared for her.
“This is a Beast Knight class advancent, an assassin manual called ‘Shadow Sting’, a tube of essence blood I extracted while researching the Phantasmal Scale Snake Lizard, as well as one milliliter of Star-glow Spirit Liquid, and finally several basic books related to Beast Tars.”
“You should keep these things well. I hope you take the assassin path of a Beast Knight.”
“I believe that with your intelligence, you can understand what I an.”
“Understood.”
Su i’s personality was much like her attire—clean and straightforward, without any unnecessary words—perhaps an influence brought about by life in the wilderness.
After handling the matters at hand, Zhou Ming then had Su i take the items and withdraw. Only then did he have the ti to carefully examine the Phantasmal Spirit Sword he had won at the auction.
The sword body was slightly over one ter long and a little more than two fingers wide. The blade was like silvery frost, the entire sword tough and straight.
After a brief inspection, Zhou Ming activated it with his spiritual power, and the sword body imdiately beca flexible, able to bend freely like a soft sword.
After testing the transformation effect of the Phantasmal Spirit Sword, Zhou Ming then proceeded to test its enchantnt effect.
He saw that semi-transparent snake scales surfaced on his right hand holding the sword. Soon after, the scales turned ink-green as the toxin stored in the gallbladder erged.
The next mont, the Phantasmal Spirit Sword, radiating a sharp aura, also began to show ink-green patterns on its silvery-white blade. With a gentle swing, a special faint fragrance spread through the air.
If there were low-tier Ferocious Beasts beside Zhou Ming, the faint fragrance emitted by the snake venom would be enough to make their entire bodies go limp, eventually causing them to gradually lose all resistance.
“At last, I have a weapon suitable for . From now on, when facing Phantasmal Tars who wield spells, I no longer need to rely on my physical body to resist head-on.”
The test results left Zhou Ming extrely satisfied. He imdiately sheathed the sword into a scabbard shaped like a belt and fastened it at his waist.
This scabbard had been provided free of charge at the auction, so Zhou Ming did not need to specially have one made.
……
Early the next morning, Zhou Ming brought Su i with him to Qinghui Base.
Su i’s identity was registered in the Alliance’s records, so entering Qinghui Base went very smoothly. Only her hunter-like attire attracted so curiosity, since it was rare for won to venture into the wilderness as hunters.
“How does it feel?”
Looking at the bustling Qinghui Base before them, Zhou Ming turned his head and asked Su i about her feelings.
“Good. Much better than the wilderness.”
Compared to Su i’s simple reply, the light flickering in her eyes expressed her inner feelings far more clearly.
Seeing this, Zhou Ming revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and did not ask further. He then began taking Su i around to familiarize her with the Alliance base, teaching her how to live within the base and how to handle different situations she might encounter.
