"Wow..."
Seeing the little fox holding the Spirit Particle Potion and chasing Momo, Tang You, and Lingren to jab their behinds, a look of amazement appeared on Ah Qing's face, as if gaining a new understanding of the little fox's grudge-holding nature.
"Are you also Old Qin People? Performing the Qin King Avoiding the Pillar routine at the Security Bureau first thing in the morning?"
Walking out of the elevator, Wang Qiqi and the Golden Leopard were preparing to clock out and go home to rest, only to see Momo and the others spiritually transforming and frantically running around the office like their behinds were on fire.
Until Wang Qiqi saw Master Fuli chasing after the trio in the corridor, her face showed sudden realization.
"They just used the Spirit Particle Potion to jab the little fox's behind, and now Huhu wants to jab theirs."
Seeing Wang Qiqi enter the room, Ah Qing raised her hand to greet Sister Qiqi and explained the situation clearly.
"Jab... jabbed Master Fuli's behind?" Upon hearing this, Wang Qiqi and the Golden Leopard were simultaneously shocked, their faces showing surprise.
They exchanged glances, each with a slightly odd expression.
It's very rare; for the first time, there's talk of Master Fuli's terrifying Physique being jabbed.
If Ah Qing hadn't said it herself, Wang Qiqi wouldn't have believed, even if it killed her, that Master Fuli's Physique could be pierced.
Master Fuli fought from the south to the north, rubbed the cat head of the Golden Leopard, kneed Miyel's chest, then headed south to punch Vimal on Peace Island, detoured to Africa to embrace the Mayflower for a wild output, and returned to Chang'an.
During this journey, the Security Bureau specially prepared a medical kit for Master Fuli, which was merely expired and unopened.
"...666."
Wang Qiqi's expression filled with astonishment, as if she were seeing an Immortal.
"Great, you're all at the Security Bureau, so I don't need to make an extra trip."
Retrieving her curiosity, Wang Qiqi slightly turned to reveal the backpack behind her. She took out a report, handing it to Ah Qing, and said: "The autopsy report is out; the ancient tomb's owner died from a fungus infection."
"Having been in a closed space with fungi for a long time, there was an infection in the lungs and digestive tract. However, during the autopsy, a strange discovery was made: his arms seem to have some kind of symbiotic relationship with the black fungus."
Wang Qiqi knew that Master Fuli had brought fungi from the ancient tomb back to the dormitory.
Thus, when the autopsy report was released, she actually planned to clock out after work and take the report to Master Fuli at Xinxing Agricultural Science College.
Based on the known information, the construction time of the tomb complex was during the early or middle period of the Yu Dynasty, and the specific year would need carbon-14 testing results.
The tomb owner wasn't very old, around twenty, died due to fungal infection and the symbiosis with it.
As per a unified cause of death, they actively infected themselves with fungi during a period where Spiritual Particles were nonexistent, using their flesh and nutrients to nurture the black fungi in return for special powers far beyond the average person.
Of course.
These matters are not the most important; what Wang Qiqi actually wants to say is.
The skull taken by Master Fuli is very likely the sole surviving dragon person skull in existence.
Wang Qiqi wants to ask Master Fuli if there's a day she could go over and chip some bone powder for research.
The fungus in the skull is 90% dependent on the residual power of the skull, having endured since the end of the Second Epoch into the human epoch, and secretly participated passively in the course of human history.
"Could even a single one cause a fungal infection?"
Ah Qing was a bit surprised, even though she couldn't fully understand the autopsy report, she knew some common knowledge related to farming.
Fungal infections are common in scenarios of low immunity or in closed spaces with large-scale, high-density fungal cultivation.
Well... according to what Ah Qing knows, boys' dormitories are a high occurrence area for fungal infections.
Often they wear each other's shoes or enjoy fishing in drains, leading many to develop foot fungi.
"It's not an ordinary fungus, although fungal infections don't necessarily occur, but it's essential to prioritize safety precautions," Wang Qiqi said.
"Okay, Sister Qiqi, we promise to always keep the Black Group on the balcony and never allow it inside," Ah Qing nodded in agreement and thought to remind Xiaolan later not to touch the Black Group.
Skin infections by fungi can cause fur loss; if the feet were to get a fungal infection, it'd become a stinky Huhu.
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to. I should report for check-out and handover work now."
Wang Qiqi waved to Ah Qing, led the Golden Leopard upstairs to clock out.
As she was going upstairs, Wang Qiqi greeted Master Fuli and Momo's group, briefly stopping her gaze on Shasha, expressing regret.
Shasha...is simply too amazing.
Unfortunately, Shasha was assigned to the Xia East Security Bureau in terms of jurisdiction.
Otherwise... its leg-wrapping, and cool, rough-textured shark tail would be quite comfortable in the sweltering summer.
"Ouch..."
Momo, with her fox ears, rubbed her recently jabbed behind, full of discontent, hid behind Ah Qing and shakily pointed her black bushy tail at the proud little fox.
"Ah Qing, look, Huhu bit my butt, hurry up and catch him, I want to bite him too," Momo urged Ah Qing to arrest Huhu.
"Then... I'll bite you too," Ah Qing turned and giggled while hugging Fox Lady Momo, jokingly said.
With playful laughter, they stepped out of the Security Bureau, ready to head to the ecological base to deal with the temporary residence permits for Shasha and the two big snails.
Ansheng, looking puzzled at Shasha with the retracting shark tail, asked: "We're waiting for the elevator, what are you here waiting for? You don't mean you want to take the elevator, do you?"
"I only weigh 113 pounds now. If I evolve away the excess flesh on my front and behind, I could get my weight down to under 100 pounds."
Shasha revealed a bright smile, raised her hand to give a thumbs-up to Master Fuli: "Adaptive evolution."
The over 200-ton weight brings not just the mass, but bone muscle density quality as well.
She couldn't wear human clothes; anything—even Kevlar—was fragile as paper. With just one big movement, Shasha would tear or burst the seams. Her Physique wasn't suited for urban living; nothing could withstand her touch.
Therefore, Shasha specially consumed Spiritual Particles to activate the Life Blueprint System for adaptive evolution.
Now, she's no different from humans, except her tail carries the will of a megalodon.
Life became more convenient, yet the cost was requiring two minutes of charge time to enter combat mode.
"Oh, so it's about adaptation; I thought you wanted to experience bungee jumping!"
Ansheng showed understanding, waving: "This is pretty good now, no need to evolve further, having two platform pedals is convenient for me to ride and land."
Stuffing the two big snails into the truck bed, Momo drove to the Qinling ecological nature protection base.
"What do you all have planned for the afternoon?" Momo asked everyone excitedly.
"Playing games," Tang You raised her hand: "Me, grandpa, and dad joyfully squad up in games."
"Xiaolan and I might stream? Xiaolan, it's been so long since we've streamed that viewers are accusing me of hoarding food..." Ah Qing confusedly complained.
Usually, when other streamers don't stream, they're called lazy dogs; but in her case, it became hoarding food.
"I'm up for anything, originally I thought about going to the boys' dorm to gossip about what happened last night," Lingren playfully chuckled: "And show off my charm."
"Since no one has plans, let's go off-roading. I know a place with an off-road track."
After hearing everyone's opinions, Momo, knowing they're all homebodies, happily decided they'd take a ride this afternoon and test out the little fox's car.
