Beast Taming Patrol

"I just received an email, I'm going to participate in the Cooperation Oath tomorrow. What's the matter?" Lin Su blinked.

"It's good that you passed." Qin Nan nodded slightly, and then glanced at Lin Su, "Your identity verification took quite a detour, and it almost got rejected."

"Ah?" When Lin Su heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that they discovered I was exploiting the amusement arcade owner?!"

"What in the world is that..." Qin Nan's expression suddenly became animated.

She shook her head and after a moment regained her composure, "That's not what I'm talking about."

"You passed the Central Brain's verification, but the higher-ups in the alliance raised objections to your qualifications during the approval stage, so according to the verification rules, your qualifications should have been temporarily shelved, pending a detailed investigation before making a decision."

"Why is that?" Lin Su couldn't help asking, "Which high-level official? I'll send him some local specialties!"

Qin Nan tapped Lin Su's forehead annoyedly, "I certainly can't tell you which high-level official, and besides, they were just being factual and had well-founded doubts."

"The personal experience summary compiled by the Central Brain shows three doubts in your personal history," Qin Nan looked at Lin Su.

"First, although your high school grades were excellent, they were not exceptional enough to justify the theoretical possibility of researching multiple evolutionary pathways and teaching methods in a short period of time, which contradicts your actual situation."

"Second, you refused to detail how you killed Han Wang after he kidnapped you, though you were not found lying under the True Sound, it still raises some suspicions."

"Third, and most importantly," Qin Nan's voice paused slightly, "after testing the evolutionary rank of the second Trickster Clown, the Central Brain determined that there was obvious data fabrication during your testing process of the initial species rank of the Trickster Clown."

"The first point doesn't actually have a big impact on your qualification review, because everyone has their secrets, and since your research results are greatly helpful to the alliance, the process is of no concern to them."

"The second point has a slight impact, but you have passed the True Sound test, so it wouldn't be enough to stall your qualification review."

Glancing at Lin Su, who was stunned, Qin Nan coughed lightly, a trace of a peculiar smile flickering in her eyes.

"But the third point has a significant impact! You might think this is a minor issue, but it involves academic integrity, which is no small matter. Your research title could have been raised this month, but now..." Qin Nan spread her hands, "Wait for the next time!"

"I..." Lin Su was momentarily at a loss for words.

The first doubt, there's not much to say.

He had been bringing Talent Skills from the Divine Martial World to Blue Star as quickly as possible, so it was inevitable that some projects would not take months, thus some doubts were expected.

Since every one of his research findings was beneficial to the alliance, they wouldn't trouble him over the sources of his research.

The second doubt, there was no remedy for that.

He couldn't outright say that he used a supernatural resource called the Seven Mysterious Feather to kill Han Wang, could he?

Even if he did, who would believe it?

As for the third doubt...

"Nan, what the hell is the second Trickster Clown?" Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

"Exactly what it sounds like." Qin Nan spread her hands, "A second Trickster Clown was found in Zone 1, determined through testing to be a mid-level commander species, and when compared with the data you provided initially, the Talent Skills of the Flying Knife Skill were severely inconsistent, thus the Central Brain ultimately judged that there was data fabrication."

"Is there any chance..." Lin Su carefully begun, "I mean, perhaps... there's individual variation?"

"What kind of individual variation would differ by tens of times?" Qin Nan tapped Lin Su's head forcefully, "A mid-level commander species is a mid-level commander species, what were you thinking at the time? You should have just let it be tested honestly."

"Did you really think that just because there was one Trickster Clown, there wouldn't be a second one appearing?"

Lin Su silently glanced at Ghost, who was similarly dumbfounded, his expression turning bizarre.

That there was a second Trickster Clown was indeed absurd!

Ghost wasn't a native beast species of this world.

That meant, after he brought Ghost to Blue Star, a native Trickster Clown happened to appear...

That's to say, it was quite a coincidence.

When he let Ghost be tested, he didn't think too much about it, mainly because Ghost was just one small rank higher than a low-level commander species, and he was worried about future troubles...

Unexpectedly, such concealment instead brought him trouble.

"Nan, how did my review pass, then? Wasn't it temporarily shelved?" Lin Su swallowed, unable to help asking, "Did you sort it out for me?"

"I don't have that kind of power!" Qin Nan said annoyedly, "It was the Yan Huang Alliance Military Management Department that specifically called to vouch for you, allowing your qualification review to pass."

"Yan Huang Alliance Military Management Department..." Lin Su seemed to remember something, "Is it because of the Body Strengthening Liquid and the Bone Tempering Liquid?"

"Yes." Qin Nan's expression became more serious, "The first batch of Body Strengthening Liquid has been experimented on some combat personnel and has shown great results; that's why the Military Management Department vouched for you."

"This credit has also been added to your personal history, naturally dispelling the original doubts."

Lin Su fell silent.

Every event has its predestined time.

"Nan, about Ghost's qualification review..."

"Consider it resolved." Qin Nan looked at Ghost, "Next time, don't make this kind of mistake again."

"Falsifying research reports as a researcher is a serious matter, and I'm telling you this as a warning," Qin Nan said earnestly to Lin Su, "Also, about tomorrow's Cooperation Oath..."

Her voice paused slightly, "I hope you return safely."

"Hm?" Lin Su's expression changed slightly, "Is the Cooperation Oath very dangerous?"

"Not dangerous per se." Qin Nan glanced at Lin Su, "The death rate is 0."

Hearing this, Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief.

A death rate of 0 sounded quite safe.

Before he could think more about it, Qin Nan's next statement reached Lin Su's ears.

"But... there's a 1% to 2% rate of disability every year."

Lin Su: "..."
