Chapter 32: Chapter 31: The Essence of Upgrading is Giving Birth to Aliens?_1
Wen Li, who had just awakened, still looked a bit dazed.
But Fu Qian could clearly sense that the aura emanating from her was much stronger than before.
Rubbing her eyes and recognizing the high and mighty Fu Qian above her, Wen Li suddenly jolted awake, instinctively reaching to touch herself.
Undoubtedly, a piercing scream that could split eardrums resounded.
There was no helping it, having received so many lashes just now, even the best quality clothing couldn’t withstand it.
Add to that the tears from the twisting and deformation of her body, it was no exaggeration to describe Wen Li’s current state as riddled with countless wounds.
Tch, as if anyone was interested in looking!
“Congratulations on leveling up,”
Fu Qian said with a smile while looking at Wen Li’s face, offering his congratulations.
This was a joy that ca from the heart.
Ah!
Wen Li shuddered and stared at Fu Qian’s face, so much so that she was unaware that she had even let down the arm covering her chest.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes to release her perception, only to feel a power within her that she had never experienced before surging intensely.
Truly, Sixth Phase!
She had really broken through the bottleneck and officially beco a Middle Tier Transcendent!
“But… I really don’t rember anything, and I don’t know what happened.”
Wen Li frowned and murmured subconsciously.
“This is destiny, the daughter of fate, nothing more than that!”
Fu Qian sighed deeply, thinking to himself that there is no need to be modest—she had indeed just slept, and others had taken the hardships for her.
Of course, it was also true that she had taken quite a few kicks, and the title of kick receiver was truly befitting of her.
As the noise above beca closer, Fu Qian estimated that Tan Mingxue and the others would be able to break through the ventilation shaft soon, and he posed one last question to Wen Li.
“Do you resist hiding in the safe house because it’s related to your ability? If there are no people nearby for you to perceive emotions from, would your own emotions be reflected and amplified repeatedly?”
“How do you know…”
Wen Li suddenly looked up, but the person in front of her had already disappeared, leaving only a ss in the empty safe house.
Nonsense, if this wasn’t your issue, you could’ve just found a place to hide whenever you didn’t want to hear others’ emotions, and there wouldn’t have been any unbearable tornt.
The only explanation is that you suffer more when you are alone.
Fu Qian mused internally upon his return to the warehouse.
The anomaly that occurred during Wen Li’s upgrade had already made him suspect, and now he finally had confirmation.
[Evaluation: rciless Sacrificial Blade]
[Erging from a chrysalis is a painful process, especially when you are the chrysalis.
You personally extinguished an underdeveloped creature and allowed transcendent powers to ascend in a seemingly normal fashion.
No one will know this secret, including Wen Li herself, whom you saved, just like when life is nurtured within a chrysalis, nobody knows what happens inside.]
[Kill count: Yvette x1]
[Reward: SAN Points 25; Inspiration 5]
[Do you wish to replay the event review?]
Wrap up!
Fu Qian was very satisfied with the results of his last attempt.
The Mist Gate and the anomalies in the warehouse had disappeared, indicating clearly that he could clock out.
Looking back now, the black and white worm chrysalis lying on the Mist Gate, in a sense, had already foreshadowed the relationship between Wen Li and Yvette.
“You personally extinguished an underdeveloped creature and allowed transcendent powers to evolve in a seemingly normal fashion.”
Based on the literal aning, the transcendent powers in the containnt scene’s world are quite peculiar indeed.

When I first entered, the undeveloped juvenile ntioned in the prompt was naturally assud to be Wen Li, who needed protection; now, it seems it actually referred to Yvette.
She had been silently growing inside Wen Li’s body, and under normal circumstances, the mont Wen Li advanced to the Sixth Phase, her consciousness would have been completely replaced by Yvette.
By then, no one would know the Middle Tier Transcendent Wen Li was no longer the person she used to be, and Yvette would have officially completed the process of erging from her cocoon.
This was also the reason for my last mission’s failure.
Alien form, ah!
Fu Qian inexplicably thought of a line.
“Letting Transcendent powers evolve in a seemingly normal way.”
This sentence suggests that in that world, this process is unknown to people.
At least to most people’s eyes, no one would realize that Wen Li’s advancent to the Sixth Phase was fundantally such a change, but would instead regard it as a normal upgrade.
At this point, the directive from the Night Watchman to “watch and wait” took on so significance. What did they know? Or did they sense sothing?
Of course, none of that mattered now, it was ti to go back and rest!
I have to say, today’s workload was a bit heavy, escort missions are indeed the most exhausting.
Compared to that, the rewards for containing the situation seed sowhat ager.
Aside from the regular rewards, there was nothing else.
But upon further reflection, although the containnt scenario was fraught with traps, I did not encounter any powerful entities difficult to contend with.
Moreover, in the previous attempts, I had already gained quite a lot of benefits.
I wonder if the rewards might be upgraded if the sitting big boss of the Night Watchman made a move.
As for the accident replay, Fu Qian did not check it out.
Not to ntion the process was so brief that it hardly required assisted mory, but Miss Wen’s exposed scenes were not few either; it’s better to respect the newly advanced Sixth Phase.
…
Upon returning ho, Fu Qian imdiately looked at the clock and found it was the exact sa ti as when he had entered.
Indeed, working in that job did not consu real-world ti; no matter how long I stayed, when I erged it was still the exact mont of entry.
Outside it was still early sunrise, as if nothing had changed at all.
Fu Qian shook his right hand a bit, and there on his middle finger, a dark red ring was strikingly visible.
Under the sunlight’s reflection, it seed as if blood was surging within it.
Quite a few things had changed, after all.
Recalling the scene of swallowing the dark blood clot, Fu Qian couldn’t help but touch his chest again.
Although the thought was a bit nauseating, that shape was really sharp, and thinking about it, there’s a special kind of beauty to it.
Speaking of which, since the rewards I gained could be brought back to reality, then, in theory, could I transform into that in the real world too?
Stop!
Fu Qian rubbed his face, interrupting his bold thoughts.
Indeed, has the harsh working environnt caused spiritual contamination?
Now, it seems I completely deserve the million-dollar salary.
Speaking of which, I ran off to work as soon as I got out of bed today, and haven’t even had breakfast.
Fu Qian went to the kitchen and whipped up a bowl of noodles for himself in a few minutes.
As everyone knows, noodles are an indispensable magic weapon for people who live alone.
This simple food, with just a pot of boiling water plus two leaves of vegetables, can soothe a ravenous stomach.
As soone without family or close ties, Fu Qian had an abundant experience living alone and had mastered this skill long ago.
Of course, most importantly, this one of the cheapest foods perfectly matched his near-bankrupt spending level before, so he had stocked up quite a lot at ho.
Looking at the steaming noodles on the table, Fu Qian was about to dig in when a tily knock on the door was heard.
