Chapter 251

In the midst of chatting, time flew by, and four hours had already passed, but there was still no sign of Molly waking up.

Su Hao asked, “Sister Xiaotian, how much anesthesia did you give her earlier?”

Xiaotian looked at Molly’s extraordinarily beautiful face, expressing envy, “The same dosage as three days ago!”

Su Hao sighed, “Then we don’t need to wait; she probably needs another four hours of sleep!”

Xiaotian seemed slightly embarrassed, “You asked me to give her a bit more before; I thought Molly had a special constitution!”

Su Hao said, “Well, I’ll leave then. Let Jingyi stay with you!”

Sister Bai seemed nervous, “Jingzhong, why don’t you stay with us too!”

Su Hao understood her concern about the fierce-looking parents outside, fearing they might not only be ungrateful but also pose a threat to them.

The gene modification for the client had concluded without any issues. Su Hao staying here didn’t serve much purpose; he was thinking of going back to summon more summoning beasts and quickly cultivate a batch of fourth-level mutant beasts to serve as summoning beasts.

Suddenly remembering something, Su Hao asked, “Sister Bai, how many summoning beasts can you control now?”

Sister Bai looked somewhat embarrassed, “I can barely control three.”

A summoner’s level depends on the number of B-level summoning beasts they can control; the more they control, the higher their summoner level. Sister Bai being able to control only three indicated she was still in the early stages of being a summoner. To advance to an intermediate summoner, controlling more than five B-level summoning beasts is required.

Su Hao said directly, “Three is enough! Throw away your Frost Iron Wolf. In a while, I’ll get you three S-level summoning beasts for protection! Don’t worry; they are all powerful kings of their races. Handling three won’t be a problem.”

Sister Bai instinctively thought Su Hao was joking, but judging by his expression, it didn’t seem like a joke.

Conflicting emotions filled her heart. Was an S-level summoning beast as common as a cabbage on the street? Is it something you can easily obtain just because you want to? And kings of their races… But Jingzhong hasn’t made any big promises yet; he seems to always deliver on what he says. Yet, this talent is just too excessive…

The uneasy feeling almost made Sister Bai explode.

Why does life seem to have taken a strange turn since these two little guys, Bai Jingzhong and Bai Jingyi, entered her life?

To reassure Sister Bai, Su Hao decided to stay.

When Molly woke up, Sister Bai let the man who was presumed to be Molly’s father come in for identification, but it turned into a farce. The bald man, captivated by Molly’s beauty, boldly claimed she wasn’t his daughter…

Almost leading to a physical confrontation!

Until Molly actively acknowledged her identity and revealed her father’s details on the spot, father and daughter were finally reunited, embracing and shedding tears.

After some ‘shocking,’ ‘unbelievable,’ ‘hard to believe,’ ‘the beauty technology is so powerful,’ and ‘world’s number one beautician’ events, the gathering finally dispersed.

Su Hao had seen this kind of situation many times. What relieved Sister Bai was that the other party seemed entirely uninterested in their beauty technology. From start to finish, he only cared about his daughter’s recovery to a normal appearance.

Indeed, the big shots from the management center never paid attention to such trivial gains.

What surprised everyone was that Molly actually requested to stay in Yongxin City for some time. The reason was to spend time with her new friends, Sister Wan’er, and Sister Xiaotian.

This left Sister Bai and Xiaotian looking at each other, starting to doubt if they had been too enthusiastic these past few days!

Business is business, and friendship is friendship; they need to be kept separate!

Su Hao didn’t mind. Thinking it was an opportunity to learn more about the management center, he signaled Sister Bai and Xiaotian to act as guides and chat companions for a few days.

Then Su Hao quoted, “Beautiful ladies’ chat, two hundred thousand per day!”

What astonished Sister Bai and Xiaotian was that Molly actually agreed, and she immediately handed over two million, booking ten days.

Then Sister Bai and Xiaotian immediately became very enthusiastic, stating that it wasn’t about the money; they genuinely liked Molly as a sister.

Of course, Su Hao’s purpose in quoting was not only to take advantage but also to send a signal to the bald man: we only want money, as long as there is money, chat services are available, and the key is we’re only after money, not anything else.

Back at the ‘Morning Sun Courtyard,’ Su Hao resumed his daily studies and explorations.

By now, he had unveiled the mysterious veil of summoners. However, he desired more than just becoming a summoner.

He wanted to unravel the secrets of space!

But his current exploration faced a dilemma. After several attempts, Su Hao shifted his focus to two organizations: the Summoning Beast Management Center and the Summoning Beast Resistance Association.

Su Hao had a premonition that these two colossal entities might have what he desired.

As for why Su Hao didn’t continue exploring on his own, it’s because he never considered himself a top-notch researcher throughout history. He didn’t believe he could achieve research results spanning centuries with his own power, even as a ‘Prophet,’ an unquestionable genius. He preferred learning, accumulating enough knowledge, exploring breakthroughs, and thoroughly turning that knowledge into his own wealth.

Never underestimate the research results of predecessors; individual strength is minuscule in the face of an entire civilization.

However, before going to learn from the Management Center and the Resistance, Su Hao needed to do one thing first.

That is to gather his summoning beast lineup, fully transforming into an undisputed advanced summoner.

As for how many summoning beasts Su Hao could control, even he wasn’t sure.

He currently has around twenty to thirty summoning beasts, and as long as he engages in ‘mental cultivation’ every day, continuously strengthening his mental power, he can control even more.

Following this trend, conservatively estimated, he should be able to simultaneously control a hundred summoning beasts after reaching adulthood.

Summoning auxiliary star beasts is obviously not something that can be done at the Morning Sun Courtyard. The academy has dedicated facilities, but it’s inconvenient due to the large number of people.

So, in the middle of the night, Su Hao brought out Yashan and said, “Yashan, let’s establish an experimental base in a remote location!”

Both of them vanished underground and used transmutation to move outside the city. After searching for a moment, they found a not-so-high small rocky mountain.

Su Hao approached the small mountain and activated the ‘Ten Rooms, One Hall Technique.’ He said to Yashan, “Yashan, learn quickly. It will be your turn to do this in the future.”

Yashan patted his chest loudly, “Don’t worry, Boss Wei, I’m a genius now. I can learn it with just one look. Leave it to me next time!”

Soon, the inside of the mountain was hollowed out by Su Hao. After entering, they used flashing runes to illuminate the interior.

Then Yashan said, “Boss Wei, I find this pattern a bit complicated. Please allow me to take a few more looks!”

Su Hao chuckled, “Sure, there’s a small hill next to it; you can go there to practice.”

After sending Yashan away, Su Hao entered the spacious hall and began summoning his summoning beasts.

Su Hao closed his eyes slightly, and his mental tendrils extended, following the fluctuations in space law. Soon, he appeared in the auxiliary star space.

Su Hao didn’t pick and casually extended his mental tendrils. When he encountered a white spot, he grabbed it and pulled it back.

A fierce and ugly red-furred giant bear with red eyes roared and rushed towards Su Hao.

Su Hao extended his hand, and a long knife condensed.

“Swoosh!”

The bear’s head separated from its body.

Su Hao shook off the blood on the knife and muttered, “Looks too ugly, incompatible with me. Better serve as food for other summoning beasts!”

Next one!

    Chapter 251

    Conversation made the hours pass quickly. Before anyone realized it, four hours had gone by, yet Molly still showed no signs of waking.

    Su Hao glanced at Xiaotian and asked, "Sister Xiaotian, how much anesthetic did you give her?"

    Xiaotian looked at Molly's now flawless face with unconcealed envy.

    "The same amount as three days ago."

    Su Hao rubbed his forehead.

    "Then there's no point waiting. She'll probably sleep for another four hours."

    Xiaotian looked embarrassed.

    "You told me to use a little more this time... I thought Molly might have a special constitution."

    Su Hao could only sigh.

    "I'll head back then. Let Jingyi stay here."

    Sister Bai immediately grew nervous.

    "Jingzhong... why don't you stay too?"

    Su Hao naturally understood her concern.

    The fierce-looking bodyguards waiting outside weren't ordinary people. Even if the treatment had been successful, there was no guarantee they wouldn't suddenly become hostile.

    Still, there was nothing more for him to do here.

    He had planned to return and continue summoning beasts from the Secondary Star before evolving them into powerful fourth-stage exotic beasts to build his summoned beast lineup.

    Just then, a thought occurred to him.

    "Sister Bai."

    "How many summoned beasts can you control now?"

    Sister Bai looked slightly embarrassed.

    "Three... barely."

    A summoner's rank was determined by how many B-rank or higher summoned beasts they could control simultaneously.

    Being able to control only three meant Sister Bai was still a Junior Summoner.

    To become an Intermediate Summoner, she would need to control at least five B-rank or higher summoned beasts.

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Three is enough."

    "Forget about replacing your Frost Iron Wolf."

    "I'll get you three S-rank summoned beasts."

    "They'll all be kings among their own species."

    "With those protecting you, you won't have to worry about anything."

    Sister Bai instinctively assumed he was joking.

    S-rank summoned beasts weren't vegetables growing by the roadside.

    How could anyone simply say they would find three of them?

    Not to mention...

    Kings of their species?

    Yet after thinking carefully, she realized something unsettling.

    Ever since meeting Jingzhong...

    He had never once failed to do something he claimed he could accomplish.

    That thought alone left her feeling strangely uneasy.

    Had her life somehow wandered completely off course after meeting Bai Jingzhong and Bai Jingyi?

    To reassure her, Su Hao ultimately decided to remain.

    Several hours later, Molly finally awoke.

    Sister Bai invited the bald middle-aged man waiting outside into the room.

    The moment he saw Molly, however, the situation nearly descended into chaos.

    The man stared blankly at the breathtaking young woman before him before blurting out,

    "She's not my daughter!"

    He almost started arguing with everyone present.

    Only after Molly calmly recounted countless details that only the two of them knew did he finally believe the impossible.

    Father and daughter embraced each other, tears streaming freely down their faces.

    There followed the usual barrage of astonishment.

    "Incredible!"

    "Unbelievable!"

    "How can beauty treatment accomplish something like this?"

    "It truly deserves to be called the greatest cosmetic technique in the world!"

    Su Hao had seen reactions like this countless times already.

    To him, it was nothing new.

    What reassured Sister Bai most was that Molly's father showed no interest whatsoever in the technology itself.

    From beginning to end, all he cared about was that his daughter had regained her face.

    That alone was enough.

    Apparently, people of his status did not concern themselves with businesses like theirs.

    What surprised everyone instead was Molly herself.

    She requested to remain in Yongxin City for a while.

    "I want to spend more time with Sister Wan'er and Sister Xiaotian."

    Sister Bai and Xiaotian exchanged helpless glances.

    Had they become a little too enthusiastic while entertaining their client?

    Business should stay business.

    Friendship should stay friendship.

    The two really ought to remain separate.

    Su Hao, however, didn't mind.

    Instead, he saw an opportunity.

    If Molly remained here, perhaps he could indirectly learn more about the Summoned Beast Management Office.

    He immediately gestured toward Sister Bai and Xiaotian.

    "You two can accompany her."

    "Just chat with her for a few days."

    Then he smiled.

    "Companionship service for beautiful ladies."

    "Two hundred thousand yuan per day."

    What shocked Sister Bai and Xiaotian was that Molly agreed without the slightest hesitation.

    She immediately transferred another two million yuan.

    Ten days.

    Paid in advance.

    The attitudes of Sister Bai and Xiaotian changed instantly.

    "It's not about the money."

    "We genuinely like Molly."

    "We've already become sisters."

    Su Hao smiled inwardly.

    Of course, the money mattered.

    But there was another purpose behind quoting a price.

    He wanted Molly's father to understand one thing.

    They were only interested in making money.

    As long as someone paid, they would happily provide their services.

    Nothing more.

    Nothing less.


    ---

    After returning to Morning Sun Courtyard, Su Hao resumed his peaceful routine of studying and conducting research.

    At this point, he had already uncovered most of the basic principles behind summoners.

    But that wasn't enough.

    What he truly wanted was to uncover the secrets of space itself.

    Unfortunately, after exhausting every avenue available to him, his investigation had reached a dead end.

    Now only two organizations remained worthy of his attention.

    The Summoned Beast Management Office.

    And the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    His intuition told him that the answers he sought were hidden somewhere within those two organizations.

    The reason he wasn't continuing to conduct research entirely on his own was simple.

    Su Hao had never believed himself to be the greatest researcher in history.

    Even after becoming a Prophet, he didn't imagine he could single-handedly reproduce centuries of accumulated research.

    Rather than reinventing everything from scratch, he preferred learning from the achievements of those who came before him before building upon that foundation.

    An individual's abilities were insignificant compared to the accumulated wisdom of an entire civilization.

    However...

    Before approaching either organization...

    There was something else he needed to accomplish first.

    He needed to complete his own summoned beast lineup.

    Only then could he truly be considered a powerful summoner.

    Exactly how many summoned beasts he could control simultaneously...

    Even Su Hao didn't know.

    At present, he controlled around thirty.

    As his mental cultivation continued and his spiritual power steadily increased, that number would only continue growing.

    Judging from his current rate of progress...

    By adulthood, controlling a hundred summoned beasts simultaneously shouldn't be difficult.

    Naturally, repeatedly summoning beasts wasn't something he could do at Morning Sun Courtyard.

    Although the academy possessed dedicated summoning facilities, there were too many eyes watching.

    Late that night, Su Hao called Yashan over.

    "Jingyi."

    "Let's build ourselves a proper laboratory."

    The two disappeared beneath the ground.

    Using Earth Transmutation, they quickly traveled far beyond Yongxin City's outskirts before finally choosing a remote rocky hill.

    Standing before it, Su Hao activated the Ten Rooms, One Hall Technique.

    Solid stone melted like flowing mud beneath his control.

    Room after room rapidly took shape.

    Before long, the entire hill had been hollowed out into a spacious underground laboratory.

    After illuminating the interior with Light Runes, Su Hao turned toward Yashan.

    "Watch carefully."

    "You'll be responsible for building these in the future."

    Yashan patted his chest confidently.

    "Don't worry, Boss Wei."

    "I'm a genius now."

    "I'll learn it after watching once."

    A few seconds later, however, he scratched his head awkwardly.

    "...Actually..."

    "It looks a little more complicated than I expected."

    "Let me study it a few more times."

    Su Hao laughed.

    "There's another hill nearby."

    "Go practice there."

    After sending Yashan away, Su Hao walked into the large underground chamber alone.

    Without wasting any more time, he began summoning beasts.

    His eyes slowly closed.

    Countless spiritual tendrils spread outward, following the rhythm of space.

    Moments later, his consciousness once again crossed into the Secondary Star.

    This time, he didn't bother searching carefully.

    He simply extended his spiritual net.

    The instant it encountered a nearby white light, he wrapped around it and pulled.

    A moment later...

    A gigantic crimson-furred bear burst through the spatial passage.

    The beast roared furiously and charged straight toward Su Hao.

    Without even changing his expression, Su Hao casually condensed a long blade in his hand.

    A single slash flashed through the air.

    Swoosh.

    The bear's head flew cleanly from its shoulders.

    Blood sprayed across the ground.

    Shaking the blood from his blade, Su Hao glanced at the corpse before speaking calmly.

    "Too ugly."

    "It doesn't suit my aesthetic."

    "I'll use the meat to feed the others."

    He looked back toward the still-open spatial passage.

    "Next."

    The mutant genes are cool and all but isn't it lazy to not try and find out about this world's beasts? What if he can research their genes and find out about their powers too and he'll even figure out how to gain their abilities later on?

    Like runes and the mutant powers are cool and all but I'd still prefer if he was more focused on gaining the worlds powers and adapting it for himself

      I was thinking the same thing bro. These biological abilities should be like an irresistible tier 10 candy to a gene manipulator like Su Hao. I think the author is too focused on the spatial aspect. But then again, the spacial aspect is much more important at this stage, once it's learned then other things like this can be stolen studied

        I ended up dropping it later on so I won't try and spoil anything. The spacial aspect does seem important but he can also study multiple things at the same time. Not to mention if he could create a pet that can be tied to his wormhole space he wouldn't have to worry about being super weak. Imagine how much more chill his early stages could be if he just had a strong helper to keep the mobs at bay

          Also since these creatures can be summoned it makes even more sense for them to be able to be tied to the wormhole space. My only issue is that time is still a factor and it takes actual millions of years for him to wake up so that puts a huge wrench in my idea.

          That space can only contain consciousness for now. But if he can control that even after sending into new world then it would be awesome.
