Upon returning to her estate in the suburbs, Becky threw herself ungracefully on the couch in the living room. She ordered her servants to prepare meals and hot water, behaving like a cat that had smelled catnip. Hao Ren looked at Becky and found the scene particularly familiar. After thinking for a moment, he realized that this was also what he usually did at home…

Becky then suddenly sat up and asked, “Hey, do you think His Majesty really doesn’t care?”

Lily’s ears twitched. “Of course. Mr. Landlord already explained it.”

Hao Ren was secretly pleased.

However, Vivian answered Becky’s question carefully instead, “Of course the king will continue to pay attention to the ‘ancient mage emperor’ even if it’s only a clone. But with our intervention, his actions will stop at paying attention.”

“Aha… I don’t like to get involved. Why make it complicated when it can be solved easily,” said Becky, waving her arms vigorously. “By the way, is your work here done?”

Hao Ren nodded.

He had no intention of staying in Holletta for too long. He came here to contact the “homecoming group.” The plan was simply to talk to Ophra, but the dark mountain incident was an unexpected twist, delaying his stay for another two days. It now seemed that the two days of delay had been worth it, for he had dug a mage emperor out of a ravine, though it was a replica…

In a moment of reflection, he looked in Lorrisa’s direction. The “mage emperor” was now sitting upright in a chair not far away, surveying the room with great interest. For her, the world after ten thousand years was full of unknown and fresh feeling. It was an incredible backwater on all sides, but it’s a new environment worth exploring.

Hao Ren’s gaze did not deceive Lorrisa’s intuition. Her long pointed ears turned sharply, then she turned her head and asked, “Um?”

“Do you have a plan of action now?” asked Hao Ren.

“You need my help?” Lorrisa asked keenly.

It’s easy to talk to smart people.

“Yes, I need a little help,” laughed Hao Ren. “I wonder if you’d be interested in doing a little inspection with us.”

“Inspection?” Now there was a change in Lorrisa’s ever-cool expression. Her eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. “Why do I feel a chill for no reason…”

“Err… Ahem. It’s not like the inhumane programs you worked on,” Hao Ren hastened to explain. “Well, we’re looking into some deep problems with the ‘divine power’ within the demon hunter. I was going to ask the ancient species of this planet for help, which is Ophra. But now I suddenly feel that… You are the perfect specimen.”

Lorrisa’s eyebrows quivered even more when she heard “perfect specimen”. “The more I listen, the less reassured I am…”

“Don’t worry, our unit is totally different from that of those mage emperors. We use scientific methods. It’s pretty safe,” Hao Ren hastened to explain as she saw Lorrisa’s reaction. “Probably just a little blood sample from you. Then record your soul readings as you use your powers. No pain, no side effects…”

Lorrisa was a little confused by the string of strange new words, but she still asked, “are you really sure that I’m such a ‘perfect specimen’? You know, I’m not really an ‘ancient species’, but a product during the process of this project. The perfect creatures you mentioned were completed after the experimental base in the dark mountains was blocked off—there’s a huge difference between me and the ‘finished product.’”

“But you’re more qualified because you’re the ‘semi-finished product’,” said Hao Ren straightforwardly. “Because the most crucial step in the transition between human and divine power is in you, the divine cells. The complete ‘perfect creature’ has completed the fusion of divine and mortal cells. No trace of this crucial transition was found in their bodies. But you’re different… You are the intermediate product between the ordinary person and the ‘perfect creature’, and you have maintained this intermediate state until now… There’s no better specimen than you.”

Lorrisa looked at Hao Ren for a moment, then burst out laughing. “I’ve never seen such a straightforward discussion. Don’t forget that I’m a victim of a biological test, and in my timeline, I was just victimized a few days ago.”

“Because I don’t like to entrap, abduct and drag people into the ditch. It’s better to make it clear at the very beginning. So you don’t want to cooperate? That’s okay, we can actually get someone else to do it, but it’s probably going to take a little more time and collect more samples…”
