It was like a relay battle, as Dr. Kaiwen took up the conversation from Miaomiao:
"To cultivate such trust in just three days, your talent must include the ability to understand languages. The termination of an Equal Contract is also related to the Spirit Beast’s thoughts. You two have already established a certain level of trust, and if she knows you’re trying to sever the contract due to Ore Disease, the difficulty of breaking the contract and the damage you’ll suffer will increase. If you agree, that Miracle Master can play the role of a rare Spirit Beast Hunter of the Divine Heart Association, forcibly severing your contract to minimize the damage, which would be beneficial for you."
Lin Guang frowned slightly. "Beneficial?"
"I have connections that can help you find a Terran Demon just as qualified as her, without the Ore Disease."
Kaiwen looked at Lin Guang and said blandly, "This way, your talent can be unleashed without any worries. Moreover, I will provide you with more resources afterward to ensure that even if your talent decreases, you can win the upcoming exchange competition."
"...And the cost?"
"The cost you need to pay is probably a drop in Talent Level by one tier, and for her, a drop in Potential by one tier. Of course, the drop in your talent is not permanent; although it is not simple, I have a way to raise it back."
Lin Guang slightly lifted his head, looking directly at Dr. Kaiwen. "I’m asking about her future whereabouts."
"I can assure you that after the contract is severed, she will be well taken care of, with no worries about food and clothing, and have the right to basic education, and—"
Lin Guang seed disinterested in listening further, interrupting her rcilessly: "Can she get citizenship? Can she receive the high-priced dicines and Miracle Master’s treatnts you ntioned? Without a Spirit Master’s backing, can she have the freedom she deserves?"
"Without access to upgraded resources, without the assistance of a Spirit Master and Contract Technique, can her Level increase fast enough as you say, to suppress the progression of Ore Disease?"
After a mont of silence, Dr. Kaiwen shook her head:
"I cannot make any promises about that. But, this is the ’best choice’ for you."
"I’m interested in your talent and have expectations for your future, which is why I’m willing to invest in you, willing to guide your practice. This is based on the premise that investnt can yield returns."
Dr. Kaiwen’s already expressionless, exquisite face seed to grow even colder, and the erald eyes seed to be glazed with frost, "The natural lifespan of a Spirit Master is 2-3 tis that of ordinary humans. A genius who may not live to see the future, a Terran dood to early death, is not worth my investnt."
"Under the rules of this world, a talent unique to [Terra] may keep your spirit untainted, but Ore Disease is a plague sweeping across the entire Terra Continent, the entire world. A Blue-level talent probably isn’t enough to resist its encroachnt."
"This is the last chance, whether to accept or not is in your hands."
Saying this, Dr. Kaiwen stared at Lin Guang with those erald eyes, still without the slightest emotional fluctuation, but Lin Guang faintly felt that she cared quite a bit about his choice.
The next mont, Lin Guang responded without any hesitation:
"There’s no need."
"The thought of abandoning my chosen partner for a so-called better future for myself never even crosses my mind."
He said calmly, "I’m sorry, I can’t accept that."
"Thank you for your kindness, Dr. Kaiwen. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first."
Having said that, without a hint of hesitation, Lin Guang turned around, about to leave the lab...
"You passed."
The voice from behind made Lin Guang pause, he turned his body slightly back, looking at Dr. Kaiwen with so confusion.
"Compared to blindly pursuing so-called greater strength, I value the bond between a Spirit Master and their partner more. If soone can treat their Spirit Beast like this, then there is no guarantee they won’t betray others."
There was a depth in Dr. Kaiwen’s gaze, as if seeing a mirage called "the past," and after a while, she ca back to her senses, looking at Lin Guang, and said softly:
"If this test made you uncomfortable, I apologize, but I believe it was necessary."
Whether Lin Guang was mistaken or not, he felt that Dr. Kaiwen’s once rigid, exquisite face seed to soften slightly, and even her tone was much gentler.
After a mont of daze, Lin Guang’s expression beca sowhat subtle.
Such an old-fashioned test content, not to ntion the various fantasy works he read in his previous life, even the current popular Spirit Master fantasy works in this world no longer use this routine.
Could it be that this Dr. Kaiwen, who looks only in her 20s, is really like Vishdair said, a post-nopausal, even over a hundred-year-old old la...old lady?
Perhaps, when you think a routine is old-fashioned and no one would use it anymore, pulling it out again can also be a form of unconventional routine.
At least Lin Guang truly didn’t see Dr. Kaiwen as testing him.
Of course, Dr. Kaiwen couldn’t possibly know what Lin Guang was thinking, as she continued:
"Apologies certainly won’t remain just verbal."
Speaking, Dr. Kaiwen opened a silver briefcase on the desk, which seed to be etched with intricate Spirit Patterns inside, containing two rows of five exquisite glass bottles each.
[Potential Developnt Potion for Spirit Beasts·Model A No. 25·Mild Type (Tier One·Perfect)]
[Potential Enhancent Potion for Spirit Beasts·Model A No. 25·Mild Type (Tier One·Perfect)]
[Manufacturing Materials: ...]
Even without the scan of the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence, Lin Guang could discern the origins of these potions from the black Dragon Pattern logo on the bottles.
"These are Tier One Potential Potions, developed by the Great Xia’s Armant and Potion Developnt Departnt, mild type, suitable for her current level."
Dr. Kaiwen introduced them sowhat casually, but Lin Guang’s eyes had already heated up.
As a master in the gaming domain, he naturally understood the preciousness of these potions.
The Potential Awakening Potion and Potential Enhancent Potion, as the nas suggest, serve two main functions: developing potential and enhancing potential.
The forr, when consud, allows the Spirit Beast to grow better and faster, with increased leveling speed and skill-training efficiency;
The latter is even more precious, with long-term consumption greatly increasing the Spirit Beast’s talent and potential, offering a broader future.
The two do not conflict at all, and are even complentary; thus, the talented youths of Spirit Master families generally pair these potions for their Spirit Beasts.
