Chapter 1554: Chapter 1549: The Waning of Pleasure

At the masquerade, Brother Benji was the only man with long hair.

Of course, not anymore.

Fu Qian stood quietly, watching the figure seated there.

As the head of the Academy’s key laboratory, illegal invasion of private homes was child’s play.

Certainly, the master-level lock-picking skills displayed again were quite shocking to Miss Liushuang standing slightly further away, making her deeply aware of what it means to have endless learning.

And upon revisiting after their last encounter, Brother Benji surprisingly had a change of appearance.

Unlike the unconventional flair at the banquet, the flowing long hair was replaced with a buzz cut, presenting a look of complete transformation.

Even in gestures, he was enjoying the delicacies before him normally, relishing the food.

After the incident, both the Academy and the Night Watchman are obliged to provide some assistance to these victims.

Judging by the current situation, the transformation was clearly quite successful.

”Hi, Brother Benji! Long time no see.”

With a friendly greeting, Fu Qian had already made his presence known in Benji’s field of vision.

...

Not mere nonsense, the words spoken to Miss Liushuang earlier were sincere statements from an academic worker with many years of experience.

Fu Qian had no doubt about the authenticity of Professor Chang’s evaluation report, even considering the ideas to be perfectly correct.

The victims of the previous incident must be utilized.

Even sharing the same thought, Professor Chang also gave unique attention to Brother Benji as a special case.

Compared to Old Master Qiao and the others, this person is certainly the exception among them.

While others were indulging in wanton pleasure, Benji already learned to gain pleasure from restraint, showcasing extraordinary talent.

His changes after encountering the Finger Ball will offer unique reference significance.

Although the final report from Professor Chang showed the results were not entirely satisfactory.

After preliminary psychological counseling, the restlessness among the victims like Old Master Qiao had significantly eased, so Benji’s performance wasn’t particularly special among them.

In subsequent tests, he further showed a conspicuous tendency to blend in with the crowd.

Upon close contact, even imitating the group’s usage style from the gathering, Benji’s reactions were remarkably consistent with others.

This is what Chang Mo referred to as ’no cure, slightly improved.’

One specific manifestation is that the food tasted more delicious.

The current scene undoubtedly illustrates this point.

Is the Finger Ball truly an object of redemption?

Though for the ordinary fallen, it works more effectively on the supernatural level ecstasy crucibles.

The actions of the disappointed father essentially ended its unappreciated fate.

This is Professor Chang’s conclusion; now is the time to showcase the technology standing on the shoulders of giants.

...

”You are—”

At that instant, faced with the sudden unwelcome guest in his sight, Benji was visibly startled.

Furrowing his brows, the overly familiar tone of the stranger paired with that unfamiliar face continued to leave his thoughts in disarray, unable to draw conclusions.

Of course, due to his reaction, Fu Qian felt no dissatisfaction.

Because of the task reset, the previous intense discussion about the essence of true pleasure had long become a memory exclusively his, even Lanaia wouldn’t remember.

Otherwise, upon seeing him, Benji’s first response would likely be to quietly pull away from the bowl of soup on the table.

”Just call me Fu Qian, Brother Benji may not remember, but your charisma left a deep impression on me.”

Fu Qian gestured towards his hair.

”Also, rest assured, the matter has already concluded. This visit is not for cooperation with the investigation, but for collaboration in testing.”

”Testing... you’re from the Academy?”

Benji’s response was quick, instinctively grasping a certain point, and soon noticed Ji Liushuang standing nearby.

This is where the importance of choosing a partner becomes evident; even though the nature of illegal invasion was no different from Fu Qian, and there’s no expression on the face either.

But suddenly seeing such a graceful and elegant maiden standing there, Benji’s defensive posture naturally eased a bit.

Fu Qian demonstrated considerable humanity, deliberately giving the other party some time to sort his thoughts, without rushing to speak.

Unfortunately, Brother Benji’s once exceptional psychological quality seemed to have shattered along with the fallen long hair, even appearing no longer capable of leveraging the Night Watchman.

”But someone from your side already came before...”

Though instinctively doubting their origins less, his tone was still somewhat timid.

”Moreover, I’ve already freed myself from that indulgence...”

Seemingly intending to prove these words, Benji deliberately raised his utensils, showcasing his brunch.

...

Bone china with gold trim, fine as silk, these obviously expensive utensils combined with a small serving of clear soup were indeed appetizing.

Such a delicacy, if it were the past, Brother Benji would most likely enjoy it with his eyes rather than his mouth.

But judging from the battle results already half drunk, Benji’s self-proclaimed therapeutic effect was quite real.

Fu Qian simply assessed; even the large bowl beside them was far from sufficient to push his face into it like last time.

”No need to be nervous, I’m here because of this.”

Waving his hand, Fu Qian directly laughed and took a seat, even flipping through the files in his hand.

”Judging by the effect, your recovery is quite remarkable, so we intend to continue the efforts for further advancement.”

”If we can fully resolve the hidden dangers within you, academic achievement reporting for this year will be abundant.”

This thing...

While Benji was left speechless, he saw Fu Qian had already taken out the Finger Ball, its texture comparable to the fine utensils, and placed it boldly on the table.

Soon attracted attention, Benji looked evidently deeply affected.

”Do you remember how it was done last time?”

Though having doubts, he showed little resistance.

Satisfied with Benji’s reaction, Fu Qian gave him more time to digest before proceeding with a cheerful inquiry.

”...I remember.”

”Good, we’ll continue with the same approach for this second session.”

Truly standing on the shoulders of giants...

Watching Benji silently for a few seconds, he indeed reached out both hands, wrapping the sphere as much as possible and holding it to his chest.

Miss Liushuang, witnessing the entire scene, gained a more profound understanding of Professor Fu’s academic appropriation.
