Chapter 242: Nightmare

Qi Shang frowned, looking somewhat reluctant. "I'm in a good state now. We can start!"

The man in the white robe shook his head disapprovingly. "Kid, you're too impatient. A poor state will affect the result of the experiment. This is not something that can be completed in a short time. Listen to me. Go and get some rest, and then we'll start."

Qi Shang took a deep breath. He knew the other person was right. "Professor Ming, I understand. I'll go take a shower, have a meal, and then go to sleep right now. Can we start in four hours?" Qi Shang calculated that he would probably be able to adjust his state in four hours.

Professor Ming nodded. "Sure. We're already prepared. We're just waiting for you."

Before leaving, Qi Shang looked rather conflicted for a few moments. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Professor Ming, may I ask what the success rate of this experiment is?"

Professor Ming pushed his glasses. "A 50% success rate. So, are you still brave enough to give it a try?"

"Sure! A 50% success rate is already higher than I expected!"

Professor Ming looked at Qi Shang with a pleased expression. "You've become more courageous and more determined than before. I'm really looking forward to your growth!"

Four hours later, Qi Shang was lying on the bed. Professor Ming looked at him strangely. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you wearing a hat?"

Qi Shang remembered what Xia Lin had told him. He must, must wear the hat and never take it off!

"Is it not okay to wear a hat?"

Professor Ming shook his head. "It's not that it's not okay. It's just a bit strange."

"Then it's fine. Professor, let's start."

Professor Ming said to his assistant, "Administer the anesthetic!"

Qi Shang fainted. As his vision blurred, the only thought in his mind was to become stronger and go back to see Xia Lin!

In a daze, Qi Shang felt as if he had entered a white space all around. This space was so vast that it seemed to have no end.

As he walked, a figure appeared in front of Qi Shang... It was Xia Lin. Qi Shang's eyes lit up and he wanted to chase after her. "Xiaolin!"

But Xia Lin actually smiled at Qi Shang and slowly disappeared. Before vanishing, she left a sentence, "You can't protect me. You can't protect me..."

"Xiaolin!" Don't go!

Qi Shang opened his eyes and sat up abruptly. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. Suddenly, a glass of water appeared in front of him. It was a glass of water handed to him by Professor Ming.

"Did you have a nightmare? That's not supposed to be. The experiment went smoothly."

Smoothly... Catching the key word, Qi Shang woke up. "The experiment was successful, right? I've become stronger, right?"

Professor Ming thought Qi Shang's state was a bit strange. But Qi Shang had always had a very special personality. Moreover, Professor Ming himself was immersed in the joy of the successful experiment, so he didn't really care about Qi Shang's emotional unease. He replied, "Yes, the experiment was more successful than I expected! Qi Shang, if your superpower was at the S level before, it has now reached the SS level."

Hearing this, Qi Shang was very excited. But then he said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't it reach the SSS level?"

Professor Ming looked at him through the hat (actually, he had already complained that the hat seemed to be glued to Qi Shang's head. Even with Qi Shang's big movements just now, the hat didn't fall off). "You rascal, don't be so greedy. Your strength has improved a lot compared to before the experiment. If you're still not satisfied, you can only rely on your own daily accumulation. You can't always take shortcuts to improve your strength!"
