Chapter 1136 - 1133: Shuttle Run

"Hmm... it really doesn't work!"

Ah Qing was full of surprise, gave the little fox a once-over, and scratched her head confusedly:

"It seems that our little fox is truly a determined fox, completely unaffected by outside influences."

The ability Sun Xingyao taught Ah Qing seemed only to transfer some knowledge, but if Ah Qing violently forced knowledge, she could fry an enemy's CPU directly.

The evil cat from the Security Bureau, after a morning of chanting from Ah Qing, would immediately break down in tears upon seeing Ah Qing, standing on two legs and covering its head with its paws, exclaiming:

"[Master Ah Qing, stop chanting, the cat's gone dumb.]"

Having a cat understand biochemistry, crop breeding science, cultivation science, ecology, and soil science was truly demanding it. Ah Qing chanted away all the worldly desires in the evil cat's heart.

"This willpower technique is quite practical, no casting delay at all, it can be forcefully activated with just eye contact."

"In battle, it can disturb the enemy's thoughts and sneakily attack when they show a vulnerability. Quite impressive."

Ansheng had a quirky look, raising a fox paw to pat Ah Qing's forehead as encouragement.

Ah Qing's chanting ability is somewhat like a weakened version of Blood and Flesh Will pollution, except one affects the physique, and the other affects the mental will.

This knowledge infusion from Ah Qing isn't something the average person can handle, especially those who slacked in their studies before.

"Naturally..."

Ah Qing chuckled proudly, picking up the little fox and said, "But it's still not that impressive."

"Teacher Yaoyao says I've just started, mainly testing physique values and mental will. The true art of defeating enemies still requires looting it from battles."

"It's those black fungi spirits..."

Ah Qing relayed Teacher Yaoyao's words to the little fox word for word, explaining the subsequent course arrangement.

The path for Ah Qing's ability trait progression mainly relies on the black fungi. With today's understanding, the following courses will focus on picking mushrooms.

"By the way..."

After describing the course arrangement, Ah Qing looked at the little fox with a smile and said, "I've finished my class, do you have any work at the Security Bureau?"

"Not for now, at least for the next few days, there won't be any work..." In Ansheng's mind, a vision of the King of the Universe crying into red goo appeared, and he shrugged.

With the King of the Universe in such a state, he won't be bothering them for a while.

"That's good! Let's go shopping then!" Ah Qing placed the little fox on her shoulder, chuckled, and said:

"Before we left, mom said we're in charge of buying the chickens, ducks, and geese for this year. If we go home empty-handed, our butts might be in trouble!"

Ah Qing picked up the little fox and ran upstairs to say goodbye to Teacher Yaoyao before heading home.

"Teacher, the little fox and I are heading home now." Ah Qing knocked on the door and poked her head in to greet Sun Xingyao.

"Alright, remember to come to class on time tomorrow," Sun Xingyao nodded slightly, "Then, the teacher will teach you a will power scan. By then, you can manipulate the stones inside your enemies as you please..."

"?" Ansheng looked at Sun Xingyao, baffled with a question mark on his face.

Is this course serious?

"What are you looking at? You think you can perform [Eco-Resonance] with just a little mental will?"

Sun Xingyao seemed to notice the suspicious expression in Master Fuli's eyes and rolled her eyes.

With Ah Qing's current power of will, combined with the strength of the Treasure Mushroom, the most direct way to deal with enemies is to control the kidney stones inside their bodies, making them gallop back and forth along the urinary tract.

Forget about some flashy moves, Ah Qing's current mental will is not enough to perform them.

Ansheng: "......"

Ah Qing: "......"

Sun Xingyao's well-reasoned mockery left both Ansheng and Ah Qing silent.

"You're amazing!"

Ansheng gave a thumbs up to Sun Xingyao: "Save me an auditor's spot for tomorrow's class."

"Well... see you tomorrow, teacher."

Ah Qing, looking awkward, covered the little fox's mouth and walked towards the door, getting into the old work car Sister Wanlin lent them to drive home.

Ah Qing turned on the GPS and followed the route towards Changxi Town.

However, Ah Qing didn't go straight home but drove towards the farmer's market next to the town.

First, she completed the task Chen Peipei gave her, stuffed the chickens, ducks, and geese, along with the pork, into the trunk, and purchased the gifts and items needed for the New Year.

As for fresh items like fish and seafood, Ah Qing planned to buy them all together on New Year's Eve to ensure freshness.

On the way back home via the village road, in front of the Fox Immortal Temple, it was still bustling with incense offerings.

The abstract Fox Immortal Statue, in Master Fuli's eyes, was glittering with gold and full of wishes.

"Dad, I'm back..."

Back at the front door, Ah Qing entered the courtyard with large bags, ready to ask her father how to arrange the New Year's goods she just bought back.

But upon entering, she saw Yu Zhenghong sitting on a small stool in the courtyard, deep in thought, watching the Arctic Fox and Lion-headed Goose playing.

"Dad?"

Ah Qing called out strangely.

"Nothing, I'm just curious if our Lion-headed Goose at home has fatty liver," Yu Zhenghong turned around, with a quirky expression on his face, "Our diet is the same, it should have fatty liver..."

Although the geese and ducks we keep don't migrate, they're still migratory birds.

Ducks and geese gorge themselves before migration, storing energy as fat in the liver.

That's what we call foie gras or fatty liver...

As a pet, Old Deng naturally wouldn't touch the Lion-headed Goose, but he was curious about the size of the foie gras from a goose pampered with good food and care.

"Honk?"

The Lion-headed Goose, playing with the Arctic Fox, was momentarily stunned upon hearing Old Deng's provocative words and made a highly human-like gesture of rolling up its sleeves before striding toward Yu Zhenghong's stool.

"Ah Qing..."

Yu Zhenghong stood frozen, watching as the Lion-headed Goose spread its wings, seemingly preparing to deliver a thumping with the force of nine thunders, and asked:

"Our big goose won't be eavesdropping on our father-daughter secrets, right!"

"Dad, step back. The big goose says it wants to check if you have alcoholic liver disease..." Ah Qing translated.

"Holy crap! The Lion-headed Goose at home is possessed..." Yu Zhenghong exclaimed, eyes wide, and quickly ducked into the living room to avoid the possessed Lion-headed Goose.

"Knowing the Lion-headed Goose is aggressive, why provoke it?"

At the dining table, making red sugar rice cakes, Chen Peipei scolded Old Deng, then looked at the newly returned Ah Qing and the little fox and said:

"Ah Qing, Xiaolan, go wash your hands. There's a drawer of freshly made red sugar rice cakes in the fridge. You can eat them together!"

"Oh, coming, mom!"

Ah Qing blocked the Lion-headed Goose at the door, cheerfully responded to her mother, and then looked at the little ones at home, saying:

"You all have a treat today. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you..."
