Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang also calmed down immediately.

She looked at Qiu Tu and then said, "This prop does have some side effects."

Qiu Tu tentatively asked, "Is it that the things learned will be incredibly bizarre?"

Shen Lingshuang: ???

She always felt that Qiu Tu seemed to be making an implication, but she had no evidence to confirm it.

Therefore, she pouted suspiciously and glanced at Qiu Tu. After not seeing through any flaws, she dismissed the thought and then said, "It's not that what's learned is bizarre. Rather... it requires a large amount of spiritual power."

Shen Lingshuang raised a finger to her face and gave an example, "Although these learning-type props can greatly shorten the time needed to learn, they do so by increasing 'Brain Speed,' enhancing brain activity so that one's learning ability doubles."

"This leads to a huge consumption of spiritual power in a short period of time."

"Generally, only Second-Order Cataclysmics and above can afford such a massive cost."

"Of course, if there are a large number of potions or props that can replenish spiritual power, ordinary people or Cataclysmics can also use it."

"I relied on drinking potions to use this treasure initially."

At this point, Shen Lingshuang was somewhat vexed. She spread her hands and said, "So... you might have to wait for a while before you can use this Cataclysmic treasure."

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, a strange expression immediately appeared on Qiu Tu's face.

He glanced at the unassuming dark statue, then at Shen Lingshuang's disappointed face, coughed softly, and then slowly said, "Um... how do you know I've become a Second-Order Cataclysmic?"

Shen Lingshuang, who was a bit vexed just a moment ago, first froze upon hearing Qiu Tu's words. Then her eyes widened dramatically, and she looked up at Qiu Tu in shock, as if trying to read any sign of a lie on his face.

But Qiu Tu was telling the truth, so his gaze was direct, without even a hint of wavering.

After quietly watching each other for two or three seconds, Shen Lingshuang finally believed it!

She said in shock, "You really became a Second-Order Cataclysmic?!"

Qiu Tu first smiled and nodded his head.

Then he reached into his pocket, pulled out the empty Crystal Bottle that he had just given Qin Shuman to drink from, and said, "Additionally... how do you know I have more Cataclysmic treasures that can replenish spiritual power?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang couldn't help but look down at the bottle in Qiu Tu's hand.

The exquisitely crafted Crystal Bottle didn't look as odd and bizarre as the treasures she had made.

Therefore, with just one glance, relying on the Cataclysmic treasures encyclopedia imprinted in her brain by the 'Thinking Statue,' Shen Lingshuang accurately identified the Cataclysmic treasure before her: the Nightmare Crystal Vial.

A Cataclysmic prop that could be reused to replenish spiritual power.

Shen Lingshuang looked at Qiu Tu again, surprised.

What met her gaze was Qiu Tu's smiling expression.

Shen Lingshuang stared blankly at Qiu Tu for a while, then said with a strange look, "Qiu Tu... you really do have a lot of secrets."

Having said that, she paused for a moment and then added, "Last time, I learned you got promoted so quickly and suspected you sold your body to a superior."

"Now, I suspect you sold your body to the Evil God."

"After all, aside from an Evil God, how could a person's strength increase so fast, and how could they have so many Cataclysmic treasures."

Qiu Tu: ....

Truth be told, Qiu Tu felt that Shen Lingshuang really took the wrong path in studying pharmacology; she should have become a fortune teller or a charlatan!

After all... although her reasoning was always wrong, the outcomes were alarmingly accurate.

Thinking about his chastity that Larilo kept eyeing, and the beautiful women constantly presenting themselves, Qiu Tu felt his willpower might not hold out for much longer.

While Qiu Tu was thinking this, Shen Lingshuang took the Nightmare Crystal Vial from his hand.

As she examined it carefully, she expressed with a cute sense of wonder, "You know... Cataclysmic Items and Cataclysmic Potions aren't common things you find everywhere."

"Even in the Sanctuary, they are more commonly found in the hands of the upper-middle hierarchy."

"As for the lower hierarchy, or the Planning Area, that would be even rarer."

"It would be somewhat more common only in the hands of the Evil God."

The crisp sound of Shen Lingshuang's voice was full of girlishness, akin to a warbler, making it particularly pleasant to hear.

Hearing her words, Qiu Tu snapped back to reality and then asked, "Why would the Evil God have more?"

Shen Lingshuang bared her little canines, grinning and said, "Are you dumb?"

"Of course, it's because there's an abundance of Cataclysmic Material in the Boundless Heart Sea."

"The formation of a piece of Cataclysmic Material is definitely influenced by the baptism of Cataclysmic Power, or it comes from the body of a Cataclysmic Creature."

"Where in the real world would there be so much high-purity Cataclysmic Power, and where would there be so many Cataclysmic Creatures."

"In comparison, the Boundless Heart Sea has plenty."

"Thus, some Third-Order and above Cataclysmics take time every year to go to the Boundless Heart Sea to collect Cataclysmic Material for crafting Cataclysmic treasures."

"From this, you can see how precious Cataclysmic Material and Cataclysmic treasures are, right?"

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu nodded in agreement.

No wonder he felt the people in the Planning Area rarely used Cataclysmic treasures, only he and the Evil God Cultists used them more frequently. So that was the reason.

And so, as he chatted with Shen Lingshuang about the secrets of Cataclysmics and Cataclysmic Material, Qiu Tu freshened up and then went back to the bedroom to sleep with Shen Lingshuang. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

Before moving to the new house, the little girl had expressed a desire for her own room, not wanting to sleep with Qiu Tu anymore.

However, after moving into the new house and Qiu Tu had finished washing up and lay in bed, she was the first to burrow into Qiu Tu's covers.

As for the second, um… it was Xiao Bai.

Following Shen Lingshuang, it climbed up the bed and was then kicked off by Qiu Tu.

Angered into a fit of rage, it barked several times at Qiu Tu and, with an almost human-like worried glance at Shen Lingshuang, it finally whimpered out of the bedroom to sulk alone.

Seeing Xiao Bai's human-like expressions and actions, Qiu Tu, who was holding Shen Lingshuang, curiously asked, "When I'm not at home, do you usually sleep with Xiao Bai?"

Leaning on Qiu Tu's chest, Shen Lingshuang chuckled and replied, "Not really."

"Xiao Bai is quite independent. She doesn't even want to be hugged by me."

"She probably came up today because she was afraid you'd do something bad, so she followed."

After saying that, Shen Lingshuang added, "Xiao Bai is my good sister. She might be grateful that I gave her those strange abilities and spiritual wisdom. She's always protective of me."

Qiu Tu:.....

Indeed, a dog's way of thinking is hard to understand.

If someone had force-fed Qiu Tu those bizarre potions and Qiu Tu had gained the ability to resist, he definitely would have bitten the person to death at the first opportunity.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also stroked Shen Lingshuang's budding beauty and asked, "So, is Xiao Bai a female dog?"

Shen Lingshuang was annoyed, "She's my good sister! Not a female dog!"

Qiu Tu, "Okay, okay. Good sister, good sister."

In this manner, the two bickered and talked, gradually drifting into their first night's sleep in the new home.

Of course, Qiu Tu didn't forget about today's "Loyalty Game" before falling asleep.

Although... the "Salvage Game" had no more subordinates to use.

But the "Fighting Game" now had a new target to conquer—Tan Huimin!

As a subordinate with a loyalty in the single digits, who also harbored many secrets, Qiu Tu certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to use the "Loyalty Game" on her.

Therefore, Qiu Tu unhesitatingly sent Shen Lingshuang out to attack Tan Huimin.

To Qiu Tu's amazement, this "Fighting Game" turned out to be very intelligent.

Upon starting the game, Shen Lingshuang's pixelated figure was holding a big wooden mallet, with Xiao Bai following at her feet.

She might not be good at fighting and dared not go forward herself, so she timidly hid behind, pointing at Tan Huimin, letting Xiao Bai go forward to bite.

By contrast, Tan Huimin clearly wasn't adept at fighting either. She ran all over the screen frantically as she was bitten by Xiao Bai, whose head had been enlarged in the game.

'Tsk, this is somewhat interesting....'

While reflecting on this, Qiu Tu also drifted into deep sleep....

[Threat in the Darkness (22 hours)]

[Promise to the Evil God (2.5 days)]

[Revenge of the United Front (3.5 days)]

.....

A quiet night…

The next day, Qiu Tu and Shen Lingshuang made a cozy breakfast together, which they ate. Then he gave Shen Lingshuang the "Trigger Paper Figure" he had prepared the day before and drove off to work.

Having received the "Trigger Paper Figure," Shen Lingshuang's eyes welled up with tears, moved to tears at the breakfast table.

It was Qiu Tu who kissed away the tears in her eyes and playfully kissed a bit lower, making the girl laugh and stop crying.

Afterward, he drove to the Investigation Bureau's parking lot.

Parking the car and stepping out, Qiu Tu leaned against the car and silently smoked a cigarette, gazing at the parking lot, feeling a bit of loss—Liu Fuping always liked intercepting him in the parking lot whenever she wanted to discuss something with him.

So every time after parking, he couldn't help but wait a bit to see if Liu Fuping would come to find him.

The habit had now been formed, but the charming person was no longer there, leaving only her voice and smile to make Qiu Tu feel a little nostalgic.

However, fortunately… in half a month, Dongye State would be established, and by then, Qiu Tu might see her again.

With this thought, Qiu Tu sighed softly, stamped out the cigarette butt, and then headed towards the Investigation Bureau.

Taking the elevator up to the 9th floor, he arrived at his deputy director's office.

Opening the door, Tan Huimin was already inside, currently bending her knees slightly, sticking out her butt while cleaning the office for Qiu Tu.

Her already voluptuous figure was outlined by the tight-fitting black pencil skirt, presenting a perfect curve of her buttocks in front of Qiu Tu.

Witnessing the visually impactful scene, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then quietly closed the office door....
