章 37: The Genius Betty
編集者: Simple MTL
Lin Meng frowned, not understanding Betty's joke.
Ever since Lin Meng had let her control "Julie"'s body, she was as transparent as glass and seldom spoke.
But Lin Meng also understood.
The girl named Julie seemed to have been sent to a secret base by Jack.
And according to Julie, she was now studying all kinds of things all day long.
It seemed to be not only about fighting and cultivating spiritual power.
She was also studying all kinds of common knowledge.
As a result, Betty naturally didn't have much time to talk to Lin Meng.
Controlling Julie's body remotely to learn all kinds of knowledge was a very draining thing for spiritual power.
As soon as Betty came back, her consciousness sank into the root of the tree and fell into a deep sleep.
"Master, is there something that even you don't know?"
"Uh..."
There was a rare silence. Lin Meng did not understand the meaning behind Betty's words.
"Honey badger, an omnivorous animal. It feeds on small mammals, birds, reptiles, carrion, wild fruits, nuts, and other things. It can eat poisonous snakes. According to the records of the mutated beasts in the army, if this kind of beast successfully mutates, their strength and resistance will be greatly increased. Of course, their innate immunity to poison will also be increased by several times."
"Up until now, the mutated honey badgers that have been discovered are not afraid of lethal poison."
As she said this, Betty also looked at the cave entrance in the distance with a strange expression. She asked with a half-joking smile,
"So, my dear Master, if you use poison to bully the honey badger, you might as well use a branch to whip it..."
Speechless.
After being stunned for a long time, Lin Meng was also unable to say anything.
This was the crushing of knowledge.
Although he knew that the honey badger's resistance to poison was very terrifying, he had a moment of fun and wanted to use the honey badger to try out the newly evolved poison.
How could he have noticed this detail?
Not to mention that there was another piece of news that he did not know.
After the honey badger mutated.
Its resistance to poison would increase exponentially.
"Cough..."
After a long while, Lin Meng coughed dryly as if he was trying to hide his embarrassment.
Then, his gaze fell on Betty who was sitting on the treetop.
He smiled and said, "Looks like you've gained a lot from the humans."
He chuckled.
Betty did not say anything.
After a moment, she lifted a strand of hair that covered her eyes charmingly and gently stroked Lin Meng's thick and sturdy tree trunk.
"These are my gains from this period of time."
As soon as she finished speaking, a series of images appeared in Lin Meng's mind.
It was as if he was watching a 3D movie from god's perspective.
In Lin Meng's mind, he clearly saw that a girl named Julie had arrived at a mysterious place.
This place was really mysterious.
It seemed to be deep underground. Just by being in a black elevator, Lin Meng felt that he had spent five to six minutes.
Then, a huge city appeared in front of him.
Yes, a city.
A city built underground.
Looking up, Lin Meng saw the huge door plate with the words "Spirit Energy Research Institute" engraved on it.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Meng took a deep breath.
When he looked up, he realized that Betty had already sunk into the roots of the tree and had chosen to sleep.
"It's been hard on you."
He sighed.
Lin Meng also realized how hard it had been on Betty these days.
The Spirit Energy Research Institute was as simple as its name. It was an institution that studied spirit energy.
However, it was more of an academy than an institution.
That was because, other than many humans who had awakened their talents, there were many professors.
And there were two reasons for the existence of this institution.
One was naturally to study spirit energy.
And the second was naturally to cultivate extraordinary humans.
As for Julie, as a genius girl who had awakened her fire elemental talent, she was naturally noticed by many professors the moment she came here.
In order to not disappoint Lin Meng's expectations, she was trying her best to conceal her identity.
Betty chose to act as an obedient girl and listen to the various arrangements made by the professors.
However, it would be fine if she didn't listen. Once she heard this, something big would happen.
After all, while "Betty"'s body had awakened her fire elemental talent, she herself had also awakened her spiritual elemental talent.
And what did this mean?
The development of the brain-filling field.
In addition to being able to use spiritual power to interfere with reality, it also showed that her learning speed far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Under the surprised and delighted gazes of the professors, a monster that surpassed the imagination of countless people was born.
In just half a day's time.
She had completely mastered a human language.
In just a few hours, she had already learned the spiritual power cultivation method that humans claimed to be the most difficult to cultivate...
...
One record after another was broken.
For a time, Julie became the most eye-catching girl in the Spiritual Energy Research Institute.
Her resources were even more heavily inclined towards Julie.
Of course, as a price, Julie had endless things to do every day.
Apart from the necessary spiritual power cultivation, she had to learn all kinds of knowledge but every one of them was helpful to her.
And understanding the habits and weaknesses of various mutated beasts.
Was also one of her compulsory homework.
In this way, Julie naturally understood the characteristic of the honey badger that was not afraid of lethal poison.
...
Lin Meng looked at Betty, whose entire body was shining with starlight, and could not help but smack his mouth.
"Tsk tsk..."
He was not sure about other things but there was one thing that Lin Meng was sure of.
It was that a "monster" that was a combination of mutants and humans was about to be born.
The others didn't know but didn't he know?
Other than her two great talents, the fire element elemental talent and the spiritual talent, Betty also had a huge amount of human cultivation resources.
On Lin Meng's side, he had given her a large amount of life essence and even used tree roots to nourish her soul.
Just thinking about this made Lin Meng's scalp tingle.
Not to mention, Betty was also cultivating so seriously.
If this was the case, if she still couldn't rise up, then probably no human would be able to rise up.
"Fortunately, I have the golden finger's evolution points in my hands. Otherwise, in time, I might not be able to suppress the rising Betty."
Sighing in his heart, Lin Meng was somewhat surprised at Betty's opportunity.
This kind of opportunity was definitely the main character.
But now, Betty was using his tree roots to nourish her soul. It could be said that she had already formed a kind of contract with him.
Symbiosis?
No, to be precise, it should be dependence.
Betty needed to be attached to his existence.
Without Lin Meng, there would be no Betty.
It was also because of this that Lin Meng was very confident in Betty. Everything was under his control.
And, in essence, there was no conflict of interest between them.
One was a soul. Yhe other a tree.
One was illusory, the other was physical, and both were outliers among outliers.
