Beast Taming Patrol

"Reset—"

Qin Nan rapidly entered numbers into the calculator function of the communicator, performing simple multiplications and divisions.

Beside him, Lin Su, who had already released his Guardian Beast Co-operation state, helplessly held his forehead.

This was already the fourth time he had heard Qin Nan's extremely retro prompt tone.

"Nan-jie, I really didn't miscalculate, it's an increase of 69%," Lin Su said helplessly.

"I know." Qin Nan tossed the communicator aside and frantically ruffled his short hair into a mess, "But this isn't scientific!"

Lin Su: "…"

To tell the truth, he hadn't expected Qin Nan's reaction to be so intense.

"Damn, if only my Ghost Energy Synchronization Rate could be doubled twice as well!"

Lin Su: "…"

So that was the reason.

Then it's no big deal.

After a while, Qin Nan gulped down the coffee in his cup in one go, then turned his gaze to Lin Su, "So, are you planning to keep this a secret or not?"

"Unless I never use Guardian Beast Co-operation in combat in front of others, I can't really keep this a secret…" Lin Su said with a weird expression.

"True." Qin Nan sighed lightly and pressed her temples, "In that case, just don't use Guardian Beast Co-operation for now."

"Why?" Lin Su blinked.

"Because it's still uncertain whether this is actually a good thing or not," Qin Nan said with a slightly serious expression. "The extra boost from Guardian Beast Co-operation doesn't come from nowhere. It's rooted in the Beast Taming Space. Your Ghost Energy Synchronization Rate has increased twice. I'm not sure whether this situation might overdraw your Beast Taming Space, so I'll go and inquire about this for you."

"If this situation leads to the overdrawing of the Beast Taming Space and causes some irreversible consequences, then we would need to think of a solution."

A warmth brushed over Lin Su's heart.

After hearing Qin Nan's words, he was even more certain that the anomaly in his Ghost Energy Synchronization Rate was related to the fusion of his two Beast Taming Spaces.

If that was the case, then obviously, there would be no side effects, nor would it overdraw the Beast Taming Space.

As it involved his biggest secret, Lin Su wasn't in a position to explain.

It was somewhat like shooting himself in the foot.

But Nan-jie was concerned about him, so Lin Su went along with what she said, "Then how do you plan to inquire about it, Nan-jie?"

"That won't be difficult." Qin Nan picked up the communicator, "I'll make a call."

Lin Su tactfully moved his chair aside, creating some distance from Qin Nan.

Soon, he saw Qin Nan compose her facial expression, presenting a... obedient look, and then dialed a number.

Obedient?!

Lin Su was somewhat astonished.

This was the first time he had perceived such a demeanor from Nan-jie.

Sensing Lin Su's gaze, Qin Nan fiercely glared at him, then continued to act obedient.

Soon, the call connected.

Qin Nan smiled affectionately and spoke, "Grandpa!"

Oh, it turned out to be Nan-jie's elder relative. No wonder she was acting completely different from usual.

Lin Su then understood.

He became a bit curious, though.

Was Nan-jie's elder also a researcher?

Able to solve his problem?

The call continued, and Qin Nan swiftly communicated Lin Su's situation to the other end of the phone.

There was silence for a good while on the other side before a phrase was spoken and the call was terminated.

"Alright!" After putting down the communicator, Qin Nan stretched lazily, "My grandfather will arrive in a few hours. Just wait here for a bit."

"Nan-jie, can your grandfather solve my problem?" Lin Su couldn't help but ask.

"He should be able to," Qin Nan shrugged with a hint of strangeness in her eyes. "If he can't, I doubt anyone else could."

"Well, okay then," Lin Su nodded, resigned to the situation.

"Have a seat. You can try out the 'Spatial Technique' in the meantime," Qin Nan smiled. "It has nothing to do with the Ghost Energy Synchronization Rate, so you can still work on it, and I can give you pointers anytime you have a question."

"That works." Lin Su nodded.

He was already eager to try out this remarkable way of improvement. With Qin Nan's guidance, it would be easier to avoid taking the wrong path.

So, should he choose Qiuqiu or the shadow clone?

Lin Su's gaze shifted to the two guardian beasts by his side.

The two beasts had already learned about the 'Spatial Technique' from Lin Su. After exchanging a glance, Qiuqiu patted the shadow clone's paw and raised its head.

"Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)" (Let the junior enter the resonance zone first!)

As the elder brother, it signified that it was a disgrace for the junior to not even be able to access the resonance zone.

"Alright, let's have the shadow clone go first then, and quickly raise the Bonding Co-operation Index to over 60." Seeing Qiuqiu voluntarily yield, Lin Su smiled.

"Caw! Caw!" (Then I'll give it a try! It's your turn next, big bro!)

The shadow clone looked slightly reluctant.

Practicing the technique meant that it would not come out of the Beast Taming Space for a short while.

Although it would accelerate the increase of the Bonding Co-operation Index, this meant that its skill training and learning in university classes would also have to pause.

Thinking about it this way...

It felt like a small loss.

After quickly admitting the shadow clone into the Beast Taming Space, Lin Su opened the introduction to the 'Spatial Technique' to review. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he immediately asked Qin Nan, and soon, somewhat unfamiliarly, began his first Technique cultivation.

About an hour later, he completed his first clumsy cultivation. At that moment, the shadow clone was inside the Beast Taming Space, but it was able to partially activate the constructed mental pathways through the Synchronization Jade, sharing its senses and thoughts with Lin Su.

This situation was somewhat similar to the shadow clone using its ability to create a clone to perceive its surroundings. The only difference lay in the fact that the shadow clone couldn't control Lin Su's body; it was Lin Su's own consciousness that was in charge.
