NOVEL NEXT Chapter 845: Sensitive
Looking at Pandora standing in front of him, Richard couldn't help but cover his forehead.
Pandora didn't seem to notice any problem with her current situation, and asked in confusion: "Richard, what's wrong? Is there something amiss?"
"You..." Richard wanted to say something but retracted his words as soon as they came out, shaking his head, "Nothing."
From the Space Iron Ring, he took out a piece of clothing he wore and tossed it to Pandora, asking her to put it on. Richard thought to himself: It seems that I should prepare more clothes for Pandora to carry around, so that every time she transforms, she won't be stark (censored for harmony) naked. Just don't know if Pandora can skillfully use the Space Iron Ring.
Thinking these thoughts, Richard looked at Pandora again and asked, "Aside from what you mentioned, becoming stronger and being able to transform, are there any other changes after you woke up this time?"
"This..." Pandora thought carefully, "I seem to be more deceptive now, does that count? I don't know why, but after learning to transform, as long as I maintain my current state, it's hard to notice anything special about me. The person I fought previously didn't notice anything wrong with me before I made a move. Even after I acted, he still had a look of disbelief."
"That's indeed good." Richard nodded.
Is this a permanent solidification of the Concealing Breath Skill... Richard added in his heart.
"And beyond that?" Richard asked again, "Your ability to shape metals, your prediction ability, have they improved?"
"This..." Pandora thought for a long time this time and shook her head, her mood somewhat gloomy, "It seems not. However..."
Then Pandora's tone changed: "However, I seem to be able to greatly enhance my power in a short period of time. If the standard value of my power is 1, then after enhancement, it can reach between 2 to 2.3." Pandora didn't forget the math knowledge previously taught, expressing quite precisely.
After speaking, she looked at Richard and added, "With this, during my outburst, I am very powerful, generally not afraid of anyone."
"Is that so." Richard nodded with little interest. For no other reason, Pandora's improvements were all in combat skills, not in supportive skills.
For him now, after successfully developing the Magic Missile, Pandora's improvement in strength is just the difference of a few Magic Missiles.
Moreover, he doesn't intend to involve Pandora in combat-related matters. If Pandora improves her supportive skills, whether in metal reshaping abilities or prediction abilities, it would greatly aid him.
Pandora looked at Richard's expression, thinking he didn't believe her, and said aloud, "It's true, Richard. I'm really very powerful now. I think after transforming and bursting out, I could even beat you."
"Beat me?" Hearing this, Richard looked at Pandora with a slight amusement, asking, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Pandora nodded seriously, with a hint of eagerness in her eyes. It seemed that after sleeping for so long, she was impatient to really stretch out.
"Quite confident, indeed." Richard glanced at Pandora without striking her down, nor did he childishly engage in a real contest with her.
Next, he wore a serious expression, saying, "Confidence is a good thing. Since you're so confident, maybe I can consider teaching you some advanced mathematical knowledge next. Maybe delving into calculus, geometry, etc."
Pandora listened, at first stunned, then her face stiffened, and she hurriedly explained, "That... Richard, I... I didn't mean that, I just..."
"It's okay, whether you meant it or not, since you're confident, I'm sure you'll learn well, just like this."
Patting Pandora's head, Richard stepped out of the main laboratory, leaving a message: "I'll go find some useful learning books for you."
Pandora stood there: "..." Suddenly wanting to sleep a bit more.
...
"Tap tap tap..."
Richard walked out with a smile on his face.
He didn't really rush to find books for Pandora; continuing to teach Pandora mathematical knowledge was part of his plan, but not to the point of being unyielding about wasting a second.
Now he was more thinking about how to arrange Pandora.
Perhaps letting Pandora stay at the mine for a while is a nice choice.
Since not long ago, after discovering Ford the madman intruded the mine construction site, he was on alert and found a serious problem—the mine's security forces are too weak.
Although Waltz has begun organizing workers to guard, it's only to guard against ordinary people. When really faced with wizards with extraordinary power or Truth Society, they're completely lacking, unable to even detect them.
He couldn't stay at the mine all the time, so letting Pandora go would fill this gap.
Moreover, he could also let Witch Demon Elder Ah Fu go too; maybe he couldn't provide power support, but with his long life, he could offer some insightful opinions, reducing unforeseen occurrences.
In this way, if extraordinary power does infiltrate, Pandora and Witch Demon Elder Ah Fu wouldn't need to stop them; as long as they detect it and inform him later, he can keep aware.
This would at least allow him to determine whether the Truth Society is investigating him or not. Or it would let him know that maybe he's just being overly sensitive.
Is he being overly sensitive?
Richard squinted slightly, pursing his lips.
...
In the northern part of Jialan City, near Great Delan Town, in an underground space.
This is the secret branch of the Truth Society, where Steward Canon was sitting behind his desk in an independent room within the branch.
His whole figure mostly hidden in dim light, with a stern face, browsed through the piles of documents on his desk very seriously. Occasionally, he would look at the corner of the desk, showing some relaxation.
There at the corner of the desk, a plush big white rabbit was lying there. Its lips constantly moving, seemingly chewing something, its ruby-red eyes half-open, appearing lazy. More like a pet cat than a rabbit.
After a glance at the big white rabbit, Canon retracted his gaze, put down the document he finished reading, and picked up a new one. His eyes scanned over the contents, suddenly becoming focused.
At the top of the document, there was a striking line of text: Shambala Town Mine Strange Situation Report.
