Lu Daoxing burst out laughing, "Little Qin, I knew you were sharp!"
Then, loving it so much he couldn't put it down, he carefully examined the Blue Water Glazed Ore.
"Saw it, so I brought it back," He had already entered the safe zone.
Qin Siyang removed his armor to let his body relax a bit.
When he took off the hand armor, he revealed his left hand with the broken-off index finger.
Chang Tianxiang asked, "Little Qin, what happened to your finger?"
"Oh, ran into some trouble outside. To escape with my life, I chopped it off."
"Chopped it off? Do you still have the severed finger?"
Hao Liang, as if he had just heard of some major business opportunity, immediately grabbed Qin Siyang's left hand with the missing index finger and asked with concern.
Qin Siyang nodded and took out his severed finger from the storage box.
"I remembered Professor Hao had a potion that could reattach a severed hand, so I brought my finger along too, to see if Professor Hao could help."
"If Professor Hao's potion can't heal it, I can find a way to ask Dean Chen or Dean Zhao to treat it too."
Hao Liang waved his hand, speaking so excitedly his voice even grew rough, "Eh, such a little thing, why bother those two old ladies."
But Qin Siyang definitely couldn't follow Hao Liang's words about "old ladies this, old ladies that."
He scratched his head, "Uh, without bothering Dean Chen or Dean Zhao, can Professor Hao's potion heal it?"
"No problem! Just wait a sec!"
Hao Liang immediately opened his waist pouch and carefully searched.
After a few seconds, he pulled out a bottle of green potion.
"This recovery potion, just apply it to the wound and you can reattach a severed limb."
Qin Siyang took the potion, applied it to the severed spot, then pressed the finger back on.
After about ten seconds, the finger had completely recovered, as good as new.
Only a faint scar remained.
"Professor Hao, this recovery potion of yours is too amazing! Does it work no matter where something's cut off?"
Hao Liang waved his hand, "My potion can reattach limbs, but it's not all-powerful. For example, if you had two heads, one big one small, can't reattach those."
"…Professor Hao's choice of words really is easy to understand."
Hao Liang didn't mind at all, "Heh, as long as it's clear, what's the point of fussing so much."
Wu Yu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, "If your wording in class and meetings wasn't always so plain, you wouldn't have had to wait until last year to be promoted to professor."
"What, Wu Yu, are you sick? Did I provoke you? Why are you coming at me?"
"I was just telling the truth."
"I think you just haven't been beaten enough."
Qin Siyang asked again, "Professor Hao, do you still have this recovery potion? Could you give me another bottle, just in case?"
"No problem! The research cost of this potion isn't that high, just needs a little Vine-Heart. Don't worry about it, really not expensive. No need to worry, to me it's just a lift of the hand. Just a lift of the hand, you get it?"
Saying that, he pulled out another bottle of recovery potion and placed it in Qin Siyang's hand.
But Hao Liang didn't let go, instead kept smiling cheerfully, looking at Qin Siyang with full expectation.
"Uh… Professor Hao, you're too generous. You need multi-headed weasels, right? Next time I go outside the safe zone, I'll try to find some."
As soon as Hao Liang heard that, he let go, patting Qin Siyang on the shoulder, "Ah, Little Qin, look at you, so thoughtful."
Wu Yu spoke again, "Isn't the Vine-Heart for your recovery potion originally provided by Little Qin anyway?"
Hao Liang's face immediately turned cold, "Wu Yu, if you can't talk properly, just shut your mouth."
Watching the two respected professors bicker was actually kind of amusing.
Qin Siyang just smiled without saying anything.
Then he turned to look at Lu Daoxing, who was carefully examining the Blue Water Glazed Ore.
But Lu Daoxing's smile slowly faded, his brows gradually furrowing.
"This Blue Water… this Blue Water Glazed Ore doesn't seem quite right?"
"Not right? What's not right about it?"
Qin Siyang took out another piece from his backpack, examining it closely.
Lu Daoxing crushed the ore into a few pieces, tossing a small chunk to each of the others.
"You all have seen Blue Water Glazed Ore before, check if this thing looks right. I don't think it's Blue Water Glazed Ore."
Everyone held the ore and examined it carefully, brows furrowing slightly.
Wu Yu nodded, "This really isn't Blue Water Glazed Ore. Blue Water Glazed Ore doesn't have these grayish-white impurities."
Hao Liang agreed, "Not Blue Water Glazed Ore. Probably some kind of new mineral."
Chang Tianxiang and Chang Tianxiong, both experts in new substances after the Cataclysm, pulled out strange tools to carefully identify it.
After a while, Chang Tianxiang suddenly spoke.
"No, this is Blue Water Glazed Ore."
Chang Tianxiong also agreed with his elder brother's judgment, "It really is Blue Water Glazed Ore. Except for the gray-white material in the middle, the rest of the structure is almost identical to Blue Water Glazed Ore."
"Moreover, this gray-white material doesn't look like an impurity, but rather some kind of strange substance."
"Old Lu, you've done more research on ore materials, why don't you take a closer look?"
Because he had to experiment with all kinds of materials for God Hunting tools, Lu Daoxing was equally well-versed in ores.
Hearing the two of them, he also pulled out a glasses-like tool and carefully examined it.
He used tweezers to carefully pick out a piece of ore wrapped with gray-white material, rotating it before the glasses to check.
Moments later, Lu Daoxing froze.
"Old Lu, what did you find?"
"Second Chang was right. This gray-white material isn't an impurity, it's some kind of condensed essence."
"Essence?"
Lu Daoxing took off the glasses, face full of astonishment, "Yes. This gray-white material, after stripping away the useless stone and crystal structure in the Blue Water Glazed Ore, what's left is entirely new substance after the Cataclysm, just like…"
Zhang Kuang cut in, "Just like the starlight on the Yellow-Silver Star Ore?"
"Exactly."
Qin Siyang opened his mouth wide and asked, "So, what I brought back isn't Blue Water Glazed Ore, but… Blue Water Glazed Star Ore?"
"At present, it seems that way. But the real situation still needs further study."
"After all, before this, besides Yellow-Silver Star Ore, we've never seen this gray-white essence in any other ore."
All the professors' faces carried both seriousness and excitement.
"We originally thought Yellow-Silver Star Ore was the only strange ore after the Cataclysm. Looks like there are other similar variant ores."
Lu Daoxing turned to Qin Siyang, "Little Qin, where did you find this ore?"
"Oh, ran into it by chance while tunneling underground with a Drill Cabin."
"By chance?"
"By chance."
Lu Daoxing's brows twisted into a knot, "I've spent plenty of time underground, how come I've never stumbled upon such a thing?"
"Professor Lu, where do you usually explore?"
"Within fifty kilometres of the safe zone."
"No wonder. I ran into this more than a hundred kilometres away from the safe zone."
After hearing this, all the professors fell into deep silence for a long time.
More than a hundred kilometres away? That really was bold.
Finally, Hao Liang let out a long sigh, "With the way you're always fooling around, saving you last time was really unnecessary."
