Xu Ran and his mom were speechless.
Mom: "As the research director of Demigod Kindergarten, you don't know the cure?"
Director Qin shook her head: "The children of the wealthy grow up in luxury, their Qi Blood Value is abundant, they never experience Celestial Punishment.
The poor... if they die, they die, who cares? So no one addresses this issue."
"I cannot do anything either..."
Director Qin said dejectedly.
Xu Ran: "..."
Can't cure it?
Then he, the "Perfect Cubs," would have to step in — Xu Ran couldn't just sit idly by.
On one hand,
his talent for "Reading Thousands of Books" was exceptionally extraordinary. When he read 500 books, the strange knowledge points hidden within them were memorized by him.
Some knowledge points would even suddenly inspire deep thought. He had a solution for Tiger Girl's situation!
On the other hand,
he had known Tiger Girl for more than 700 days now.
He witnessed Tiger Girl learn to walk in a fit of anger; witnessed her progress from babbling to calling him Brother Ran proficiently...
He also used Tiger Girl as a tool every day, crazily boosting his Skill Progress...
Besides Tiger Girl, he didn't have other friends his age.
If it weren't for Tiger Girl, his mom would worry every day that he was a withdrawn child.
From any perspective,
he couldn't just watch Tiger Girl suffer "Celestial Punishment."
"Reveal a little bit of my background... about one-twentieth. Anyway, I also plan to join Demigod Kindergarten. I've got to show some talent."
Thus,
Xu Ran walked up to Director Qin's side and poked her side.
"Make an incision two centimeters deep at the tip of ten toes, and drip in ten drops of True Blood from a Tier Seven Crystal Beast. That will cure it!"
Hmm?
Director Qin looked down at Xu Ran. Although Xu Ran spoke fluently and logically, with a steady tone, she directly ignored the little kid's suggestion.
"Little handsome boy, why don't you go play elsewhere?"
Dodging Xu Ran, Director Qin continued to stare at Lin Qian.
His mom was already sweating: "Director, listen to my son. I don't even know about the 'Celestial Punishment' phenomenon, yet he does..."
Upon hearing this, Director Qin frowned deeply.
"...Ma'am, a drop of True Blood from a Tier Seven Crystal Beast is worth a full 5 million. Ten drops are 50 million!"
"If such precious resources are used recklessly, not only will my position be suspended, but I'll also be held accountable and imprisoned, you know?
If it weren't for a special reason, I would never risk taking them out. And now you want me to listen to a child's suggestion?"
"This joke isn't funny at all, ma'am."
Director Qin's tone was serious.
"Well, as expected, there's a trust crisis..."
Xu Ran was at a loss.
But objectively speaking, what a child says shouldn't be believed!
After all, this isn't a small matter. Using resources worth 50 million!
You have to give people a convincing reason to dispel doubts.
Xu Ran poked Director Qin's side once more.
"I have Comprehension Root Bone. My Qi Blood Value is also at 200 points. You can test it."
Upon hearing this,
Director Qin raised her eyebrows slightly.
"What did you say?"
Xu Ran didn't say more, just extended his hand, gesturing for Director Qin to take blood for verification.
Director Qin was skeptical, but still let her assistant take tools to collect Xu Ran's fingertip blood for verification.
The assistant dripped the blood into the instrument: "Director, Qi Blood Value is 206 points..."
The assistant's arm and voice trembled in synchrony while holding the measuring instrument.
Seeing this,
Director Qin grabbed the instrument, widened her eyes to check the measurement data a few times, then suddenly looked down at Xu Ran: "Little friend, how old are you?"
Xu Ran blinked: "It's the 1001st day since I was born."
"Not yet three years old? And you have a Qi Blood Value of 206? This... this... this..."
Director Qin's voice involuntarily rose, full of disbelief and overwhelming excitement.
When Adam was almost four, his Qi Blood Value was 546, but you have 206 before you even turn three... although it's not as high as Adam's, it's already incredibly extraordinary!"
Director Qin looked at Xu Ran as if a miser had found a gold mine, eyes gleaming, filled with burning desire.
Beside them,
his mom, who hadn't reacted yet, looked a bit puzzled.
What's going on?
What kind of development is this?
She looked around, realizing everyone was looking at her precious son like he was a monster.
"Xiao Ran... you... you..."
Xu Ran calmly shrugged: "Yes, mom, I'm a genius."
"Every day I wake up, I'm filled with strength. And I have Comprehension Root Bone; I've read 800 books in the library this year."
Mom: "…Although that's the case, I'm still a bit dizzy… let me take a moment…"
Upon hearing this,
The gaze under Director Qin's black-framed glasses burned hot once again: "...Wait! You just mentioned you have Comprehension Root Bone, right? You said it twice, right?"
Xu Ran nodded calmly: "Yes. I have Comprehension Root Bone."
"You not only have high Qi Blood Value but also Comprehension Root Bone?!"
"Quick! Test it!"
Director Qin immediately asked her assistant to take out tools to test Xu Ran's Root Bone.
Unfortunately, the Comprehension Root Bone couldn't be detected.
Director Qin: "..."
"It's not there? Even though there's no magnetic field for the Root Bone's presence, you're tricking me?"
Xu Ran serenely smiled.
Indeed, he had no Root Bone; if he claimed to have other Divine Eyes or bones, it could easily be detected.
But comprehension, this thing, can't be measured by instruments.
He could boast however he wanted.
With the number of his Magical Skills, who could doubt him?
Therefore,
everything was under Xu Ran's control: "Please open the window for me. Don't ask why, just do it."
The window was opened.
Xu Ran blew strange notes towards a group of sparrows chirping on a tree.
The notes drifted out,
and the sparrows immediately tilted their heads to look over, while flapping their wings, flying into Xu Ran's palm.
"I can understand the basic phonetics of animal sounds and mimic them. This is my comprehension gift."
"In Martial Arts, this talent is equally practical."
"Do you trust me now?"
Xu Ran raised his head, as if saying: I'm such a genius, and you still don't believe me?
Having witnessed Xu Ran's extraordinariness, Director Qin felt a bit shaken inside.
She drew a deep breath: "I want to know, what's your principle behind the treatment?"
Xu Ran smiled calmly.
"That's simple. Although people rarely study 'Celestial Punishment,' in the Jing City Library, there's a book called 'Taming Diary,' written by Li Pingjun.
He's the one who spent his life breeding Crystal Beasts and wrote the 'Crystal Beast Taming Notes.'
'Taming Diary' isn't considered a professional book, but it contains professional knowledge. In the book, Mr. Li documented a peculiar incident: a Tier Seven Crystal Beast cub suddenly fell ill at the age of three, with twisted limbs, fainting on the ground and unconscious."
"Its mother bit open the cub's limb endings five times to drip in True Blood, delaying the cub's illness."
"Mr. Li closely monitored this matter, but unfortunately, the mother beast ran out of True Blood and died, and the cub lasted four hours before losing its breath."
"There's reason to suspect that the Tier Seven Crystal Beast cub experienced a 'Celestial Punishment' event. And the behavior of the mother beast was the correct response to counteract Celestial Punishment."
"True Blood is the purest and most original blood in a Crystal Beast's body, containing surging and violent lightning energy. Humans can't ingest it directly, not even apply it externally.
However, True Blood is a top-tier material for refining Magical Artifacts, it can be absorbed by them, granting the artifact a unique effect."
"An excellent Root Bone is akin to a Magical Artifact, even more powerful than an artifact. It can surely absorb and engulf True Blood!"
Everyone was stunned.
They looked at Xu Ran, not even three years old, eloquently explaining everything, and suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of 'it makes so much sense, I'm worthless!"
Medic: "… Hard to describe, but the scene's kind of eerie."
Mom: "Did I give birth to this?"
Tiger Girl's mom: "..." Her mind was blank.
Senior Specialist: "..."
Only Director Qin silently shook her head: "All just speculation, little friend, how can I dare trust you? This is very dangerous, you know?"
"True Blood can't be used arbitrarily, especially not dripped into a child's wound… it can corrode into a huge wound!"
