Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Lanlan Wants, Lanlan Gets

They had clearly agreed that this period would be all his! Besides, the Female Master still hadn’t consummated their marriage—that wasn’t his fault, was it?

Every day, the Female Master was busy activating the vitality of plants. By the time she returned to the room and used her spiritual power to repair or soothe Shi Lingfeng’s Spiritual Sea, she would pass out from exhaustion. When she woke up the next morning, she would go right back to work. They simply hadn’t had a chance to consummate!

Gu Weilan worked this tirelessly to solve the problem once and for all. She had discovered that using the Vitality Activation Talent Skill to cultivate plants in her space not only drastically accelerated their growth, but the seeds produced by this batch of plants could be replanted without needing another talent activation! However, a problem soon arose!

This batch of talent-activated plants simply could not retain their seeds for a third generation of cultivation. To put it simply, she could use one seed to catalyze the growth of a hundred more. But once the plants grown from those hundred seeds matured, they would be contaminated again and lose the purity needed to reproduce the next generation. Only by continuing to use the Vitality Activation Talent Skill on those hundred seeds could they consistently produce more.

But if she did that, she and Zhan Heng would have to stay here constantly, never leaving for even a moment. Her true plan was to skip the secondary activation of these hundred seeds and hand them directly over to Beastmen with the Wood Beast Rank. With the help of Cultivation Liquid, they could be mass-cultivated.

This would completely achieve mass production. She and Zhan Heng would only need to handle the initial step of cultivating the first-generation seeds to produce a massive amount of second-generation seeds.

By now, Gu Weilan could release the Vitality Activation Talent Skill without even needing to bend down. She was passionately researching talent skills and formulas, completely absorbed in her urgent work. Because of this, she had unintentionally neglected Shi Lingfeng.

Shi Lingfeng felt that despite his miserable situation, he remained incredibly considerate of the Female Master. For a brute like Zhan Heng to jump out and compete with him at a time like this was simply too wicked! Was he a monster?

Seeing the two guys’ gazes still clashing, Lorenzo found them highly unreliable. He couldn’t help but ask Gu Weilan, who was currently following Shi Lingfeng’s instructions to apply for a patent, "Lanlan, do you have some other purpose for applying for a patent right now? The semester only started a month ago. Female Master, you’re rushing this a bit."

Gu Weilan paused for a moment, finally drawing the attention of Zhan Heng and Shi Lingfeng as well. While continuing to submit the required data for the patent, she replied casually, "Oh, I asked around. Disciplines like Material Science, Pharmacy, and Mecha Design all have precedents of students submitting patents right after entering the academy. There are even freshmen who submitted patent applications on their very first day. It just didn’t happen at our academy, but at the Fourth Military Academy. Therefore, I shouldn’t fall into the category of the tall tree that catches the wind."

Zhan Heng, Shi Lingfeng, and Lorenzo Snow all couldn’t help but freeze slightly. Good heavens, the people the Female Master was comparing herself to were either propped up by the Beast Clan or backed by their fathers’ corporate groups. If those students could apply for patents on their first day of school, there were underlying reasons behind it!

"Secondly... my purpose for doing this is so that when I cancel my matching with Xuanshuo, I can demand that he not leak any information about me in any form." After clicking to submit the application, Gu Weilan turned off her Light Brain.

She smiled at Lorenzo. "Previously, I thought about how Xuanshuo seemed to harbor a slight malice toward me, and that I should cancel my matching with him immediately.

"However, I might have been a bit arrogant. On one hand, I wanted to see what his true goal was. On the other hand, I wanted him to know that by missing out on a catch like me, he might spend the rest of his life in regret. Because of that, I kept delaying the cancellation. I don’t know if other females would have such wicked thoughts. But it’s exactly this situation that led to him seemingly learning more secrets about me, and about you all.

"So, I must get my patent approved as quickly as possible—"

DING. The patent project you applied for has been approved.

Gu Weilan blinked and continued, "After my patent is approved—"

"Granny! Your granddaughter is calling you!"

Gu Weilan’s ears turned bright red. To receive notifications conveniently, she had set her Light Brain’s audio to speaker mode so she would know the moment her patent application was approved. But what was with this ringtone? After silencing the unknown caller, she tried again. "After my patent is approved—"

BZZT, BZZT, BZZT... A vibrating alert buzzed in her earpiece after she turned off the Light Brain’s speaker mode. Gu Weilan blinked, sighed, and directly answered the call.

It turned out to be the duty teacher from the academy! The professor hadn’t rested yet and had casually clicked on the patent application. Initially, he had intended to read it with a critical eye, wanting to see which freshman was so arrogant. But as he read, he grew increasingly shocked. The more supporting data he saw, the more engrossed he became. That was why he had immediately made the call!

"Hello... Yes, it’s me... That’s right. I didn’t record the data for the previous experiments... I was young back then and didn’t understand these things. Thank you... Mmhmm, okay... Thank you, Professor... Yes, yes, understood. I’ll keep doing my best! Okay, goodbye, Professor."

Gu Weilan hung up and looked at Lorenzo again.

Lorenzo hurriedly reminded her, "Female Master, you were saying that you wanted to wait until the patent was approved to—"

Gu Weilan nodded. "Ah, right. I plan to cancel my matching with Xuanshuo now that the patent application has been approved. Then, I’ll use patent protection laws to forbid Xuanshuo from spilling any of our secrets!" Seeing another incoming call, she tapped her screen a few times and shut off her Light Brain entirely.

Lorenzo, Zhan Heng, and Shi Lingfeng’s eyes first lit up, and then they each turned on their own Light Brains. Zhan Heng immediately began analyzing the situation. "Female Master, if you directly cancel your matching with Xuanshuo, the Beast God Matching System will throw you right back into the matching mechanism."

Shi Lingfeng, however, looked at Gu Weilan. "But if the Female Master can produce two more patents, the conditions won’t be lowered, and you won’t face a downgraded forced matching."

Lorenzo instantly understood the intentions of these two "brothers from another mother"! Zhan Heng wanted to secure a spot for his twin brother. Shi Lingfeng, on the other hand, didn’t want the Female Master to suffer any grievances, nor did he want any extra, eyesore Beastmen intruding into their lives. Lorenzo quickly sided with Shi Lingfeng. "For these two patents, you only need an application direction and a preliminary outline."

For the umpteenth time, Gu Weilan wanted to ask her system, Pomegranate Seed. Pomegranate Seed was like her walking encyclopedia. Now that it was offline, it really... It made Gu Weilan feel a bit like she was back in the Apocalypse, where no one deserved more than forty percent of her trust.

Gu Weilan nodded slightly and said, "Let me think about it." For a brief moment just now, she faintly heard Pomegranate Seed say a phrase in her mind: "Space Talent Skill."

What did that mean? Was it telling her to use a Talent Skill from her Space Beast Rank? What did that have to do with what she was just talking about—canceling the match?

After mulling it over, Gu Weilan decided to activate Synchronized Binding, the skill she had awakened at the First Rank of her Space Beast Rank. As a result, Gu Weilan’s eyes widened more and more. Look at this! What had she just obtained!
