Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1910: Chapter 1905: Five Set Out

This is the confidence that comes from mastering a professional skill.

Seeing Professor Ah Kai recommend himself so eagerly, even Lord Stoss began to hesitate, Fu Qian couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

In any case, it’s certain that this person isn’t as strong, and once inside, the risks are definitely considerable.

But if a professional follows along, the increase in success rate in such an operation would be significant.

So Professor Ah Kai’s action is essentially a noble contribution to the team.

Of course, Stoss’s hesitation is based on the premise that he acknowledges Ah Kai as a ”professional.”

This, to some extent, proves that he is somewhat convinced of the exploration results by Su Gao and myself, especially the report’s suggestion that the ark’s appearance might be due to a miracle.

It’s uncertain whether this stems from trust in Demigod Su’s work or other reasons.

”Professor Ah Kai has indeed performed exceptionally well and is undoubtedly a key member of the Benevolence Institute.”

While Ah Kai watched expectantly, Li Weixuan, on the side, took the initiative to speak up and gave a positive evaluation.

”Alright... but remember, ensuring your own safety is the primary principle.”

Indeed, kind words from a leader do work; originally hesitant, Lord Stoss finally nodded the next moment, making an exception and adding a new member to the team.

Even then, seeing the excited Ah Kai, he didn’t forget to remind casually.

”Let’s not waste any more time; set off immediately.”

After settling minor matters, Lord Stoss did not delay further, speaking while giving Fu Qian a special look.

”Does Professor Fu need to do any additional preparation?”

”No need, I’ve been ready for a while.”

Being given extra attention, Fu Qian showed no surprise or delight, instead wearing a confident smile as if everything was under control.

This is no exaggeration; ever since Su Gao received the notification to wait, Fu Qian had already prepared for this expedition.

After all, besides sending in experts for reinforcement, it’s hard to imagine what else the Night Watchman would do.

Even regarding the experts sent for reinforcement, through various operations, it highly likely would be Old Master Stoss.

As for this familiar person about to act together, aside from hiding his aura as much as possible, he naturally dealt with the items that could easily reveal his identity beforehand.

Thus, Fu Qian’s preparation involved returning those items to the warehouse.

For example, nearly all weapons, items with high identification levels, and even the ring given by the Red Moon.

Even those carried on him were carefully integrated into his flesh, not visible to others.

...

”If there’s anything at the lab, please take care of it for me.”

Confirming that everything was ready for action, Fu Qian exchanged a glance with Li Weixuan, entrusting him with the task while also indicating there was no need to worry, as he would take care of things thoroughly.

With even Old Master Stoss here, how could Li Weixuan, acting dean of the Academy, hold any blindly optimistic feelings about the meteor shower event?

Including his earlier supportive words for Professor Ah Kai, Fu Qian didn’t think Li Weixuan truly wanted to recommend Ah Kai for the exploration team.

In Fu Qian’s view, the direct reason Li Weixuan spoke up was because of Stoss’s hesitation.

This hesitation might not just be about whether to take Ah Kai or another professor from the Benevolence Institute, either could be a consideration.

A more powerful professional who need not worry about his own safety.

Realizing this, Li Weixuan decisively took on the responsibility of acting dean, using an impartial tone to inform Stoss that Ah Kai was already the best choice.

If no technical personnel are brought along, then it’s best to bring him.

In the end, it seemed Old Master Stoss decided technical personnel were necessary.

”Well said.”

Given the performances so far, Li Weixuan evidently harbored no doubts about Professor Fu’s abilities.

Yet even the newly arrived Second Phase Night Watcher showed such subtle attitude towards this person, which was somewhat shocking.

Always people with sharp minds, with Professor Fu’s care, there shouldn’t be many worries for Ah Kai over there.

Yet, with things like this, it’s Fu Qian’s position that’s somewhat puzzling.

Despite this, for the Academy’s pillar who repeatedly creates miracles, Li Weixuan still appeared full of confidence.

...

”Is it here? Then, thank you once again, Su Gao.”

As expected, Lord Stoss maintained his decisive style, expressing his appreciation for Professor Fu’s confidence while leading people directly to the Benevolence Institute.

And after indicating for Yuan Fang to arrange guards, he took them straight to the underground of the Benevolence Institute.

Since things weren’t too chaotic, the marks Su Gao made earlier out front were evident at a glance.

After observing in silence for a moment and then tossing aside the feather he was examining, Stoss gestured directly to Su Gao.

”Alright.”

Even in the face of what seemed to be a member of the highest authority of the Night Watchman, student Su Gao remained indifferent, unchanged from the start, and naturally, no one would suspect she was unhappy due to issues of speaking rights.

Responding immediately, Su Gao moved forward without any delay, thrusting out a sword.

And in the next moment, where her sword pointed, a chain tremor was triggered within the void.

...

Well done, give them a bit of a resounding shock.

In the silence, standing perfectly in the advisor’s position, Fu Qian watched this scene with admiration.

Student Su Gao never disappoints.

With previous encounter experiences, this time there was not even a need for hesitation, directly opening the door with precision that stunned everyone.

Including Lord Stoss at the side, who appeared somewhat solemn at that moment.

It felt as though he couldn’t maintain the same casual demeanor towards this rising star of the Night Watchman, a top bounty hunter, as he could with Demigod Aike.

It remains uncertain how they perceive student Su Gao’s current state and her position in the Extraordinary Sequence.

Regarding Old Master Stoss’s intentions, Fu Qian naturally didn’t think them so singular.

Even though the meteor shower and ark event, along with the exploration, seemed deeply intertwined and worthy of considerable attention.

Yet, the reasons provided through various means by myself, in terms of importance, certainly don’t fall short either.

Yes, it’s a process of mutual pursuits.

While Lord Stoss indeed harbored scrutinizing thoughts towards me, this scrutiny was something I had proactively invited, so how could there be dissatisfaction?

In fact, regarding what he would do next, Fu Qian was filled with expectations.

And also, that one hand of Fire of Madness Old Master showcased.

”Be prepared.”

While thinking, Lord Stoss’s voice had already sounded.

And after giving one instruction, he went ahead, taking the lead as the first to ”board the ship.”
