My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 357: Chapter 355: Still Alive, but Like Another Rebirth

"Doctor, this is an ancestor’s complete body, but his soul is 99% damaged."

"Oh?"

The doctor was an exceptionally beautiful woman, but her expression remained blank as she gazed upon Su Qing’s face, which possessed the air of the Immortal Dao.

’It seems we just have to restore his soul. Amnesia is a minor issue.’

"Ordinary Level Energy?" The doctor picked up the report and began to read.

Su Qing’s body had been sent here to have its soul restored.

It was a personal directive from the three deans.

’The energy readings aren’t conserved. This is a powerful ancestor. Tell the deans... can I dissect him for a look?’

Her hand had already transformed into a form of Dao Path Energy as she tried to pluck one of Su Qing’s hairs for testing.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t even sever a single strand.

"His hair is that tough? And I wield the power of the Five Steps on the All-Knowing Dao Path!" The doctor was stunned.

She stared, dumbfounded, at the ancestor’s body.

Then she glanced at her assistant.

The assistant shook her head. "Doctor, I’ve never tested an ancestor before."

"This ancestor... he seems a lot like *that* ancestor."

"Xiaoshu, you won’t tell the deans, will you?" The doctor began to threaten her assistant, as if she had just discovered a rare treasure.

The assistant trembled in fear, shaking her head frantically. "I won’t, I won’t."

The doctor walked up to Huang Xiaoshu.

"Doctor, please don’t!"

The doctor gave Huang Xiaoshu a meaningful look, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Don’t you tell anyone, you hear?"

"This ancestor is mine."

Tears welled up in Huang Xiaoshu’s eyes as she nodded.

"Mm-hmm."

"I won’t tell the deans."

"Then let’s begin Operation Soul Restoration."

"Yes."

Afterward, Su Qing was stripped naked and placed inside a container.

Inside the container, a transparent, almost illusory liquid appeared, gathered by some unseen force to envelop Su Qing completely.

In an instant, Su Qing absorbed all the surrounding liquid.

"Doctor, this is bad! The ancestor absorbed the entire vat of Soul Nourishing Liquid!"

"Are you serious?"

"This ancestor is just like the one the dean has."

"A single vat of Soul Nourishing Liquid costs 5,000 All-Knowing Coins." The doctor felt her financial future was suddenly looking bleak.

She released another vat, but within three seconds, Su Qing, still lying in the container, had absorbed it completely.

"It’s over! My research funds!" The doctor tapped her watch, and a holographic panel materialized in the air, displaying her balance: 3,290,278.

With a balance of 3.29 million, at this rate, the ancestor would drain her little nest egg dry in less than a day.

What kind of ancestor was this? He was more like a patriarch you had to serve hand and foot!

She’d just have to wait and see what it would take for this new patriarch of hers to recover.

"Xiaoshu, take three million and buy more Soul Nourishing Liquid. Try to haggle for a better price."

"I want to see just how incredible this patriarch is. Let’s see if he can keep absorbing it all!"

Huang Xiaoshu successfully completed her mission.

She returned with six hundred and fifty vats.

"Control the machine. Pump the Soul Nourishing Liquid in."

"Right away, Doctor."

And so, it began.

Su Qing was continuously pumped full of Soul Nourishing Liquid.

It had almost no effect.

A full day and night passed.

He absorbed all of it.

The doctor stared at the ancestor in the container, gritting her teeth in frustration.

Three million. A whole three million All-Knowing Coins.

And yet, her instruments still showed his soul was 99% damaged.

’I’ll just leave him here for a month and see what happens,’ she decided.

The doctor was unwilling to give up. This patriarch was obviously powerful—perhaps even more so than the one the dean was studying.

She had to at least try to study him.

「One month later.」

Still unwilling to give up, the doctor secretly purchased a high-energy cutter just to get a sample of his hair.

But a single strand of his hair proved to be more resilient than the cutter’s high-frequency energy waves.

The doctor was utterly astounded.

But still, she wouldn’t give up.

She even considered trying to get Su Qing to produce some... ’descendants.’

In the end, however, she abandoned the idea.

’If I can’t even get a hair sample, what’s the use of trying that?’

Patriarchs really were built different.

’I made over a million this month, but I can’t spend it on him anymore.’

’I’ll run one more full scan, then I’ll call the deans to come and collect him.’

The doctor sighed.

’If this patriarch were to actively walk his Dao Path, he’d probably be a ten-step powerhouse.’

She couldn’t even cut his hair. The high-energy cutter was a top-of-the-line machine in the laboratory, capable of slicing through most things with ease.

It could even cut through experts who had reached the seventh or eighth step of their Dao Path.

"The soul damage is... down to 98%."

’The Soul Nourishing Liquid?’

’No! Is the patriarch healing his own soul?’ The doctor was dumbfounded.

She decided she had to wait another month. She couldn’t hand him over to the deans just yet.

She had to see what would happen.

Of course, it was Su Qing repairing himself.

Otherwise, given the amount of Energy Su Qing required, what good was that paltry amount of Soul Nourishing Liquid?

It provided less Energy than the Immortal Qi within his Immortal Domain Dao Foundation.

If not for his Dao Foundation and the God Demon Devouring Universe Map absorbing the Immortal Qi in a balanced manner,

Su Qing would have repaired his Immortal Soul even faster.

Gradually, the lab became home to an ancestor.

Almost no one knew of his existence.

Only the doctor and her assistant, Huang Xiaoshu, were aware of him.

Every day, Huang Xiaoshu would clean the dust off the patriarch’s container and so on.

She was just looking for any excuse to get close to him.

The doctor looked on with disdain.

’An ancestor you can’t study is just a freeloader you have to worship.’

She had already sunk so much cost into him.

There was no way she was handing the patriarch over to the deans now.

She would wait and see what happened when this patriarch finally woke up.

「Eight years passed.」

"Doctor, the soul damage is down to only 1%!"

"This ancestor is so strange. Normally, they wake up on their own once the damage rate falls below 10%."

"Does he really intend to wait until he’s fully recovered, with no damage at all?"

Eight years had passed, yet the two women seemed unchanged.

Within the All-Knowing Academy, the average person could live to be a thousand years old. Consequently, very few people, regardless of gender, had any desire to have children.

"Today’s the day he should be fully recovered. I wonder if he’ll wake up."

"He’s reached an undamaged state, Doctor!" Huang Xiaoshu announced after running another scan.

"Excellent."

Both the doctor and her assistant waited for him to wake up.

...

...

A day and a night went by.

The two women kept waiting.

...

"I’m going home to get some rest. Whoever wants to keep waiting on this patriarch can go right ahead."

The doctor couldn’t stay up any longer.

Why wasn’t he waking up? She was leaving.

Huang Xiaoshu couldn’t do anything about it. She was tired, too.

She wanted to go back and rest.

Soon, only Su Qing was left in the laboratory.

’Have they finally left?’

’Damn. Staring at me naked for eight years... you two are really something else.’

「One hour after they left.」

Su Qing sat up.

A brand new set of clothes materialized on his body.

He had fashioned them based on the clothing worn by the two young women.

They looked a lot like clothes from his past life: a light shirt and a pair of trousers.

’There are cameras here.’

Su Qing could sense one of the girls rushing back.

Su Qing moved to a spot and sat down.

He brewed himself a pot of tea.

Su Qing disabled the camera that was monitoring him.

"Intruder! Intruder!"

"Alert!"

"Alert!"

The moment the camera was destroyed, the automated intelligence within one of the instruments activated.

High-temperature beams shot out from all around.

They pierced through everything.

The entire laboratory had become an inescapable deathtrap.

’Eight years.’

’I heard they found quite a few people from the Spirit Realm.’

Su Qing summoned Xiaoqing from his Immortal Domain Dao Foundation.

From the start of the battle, Su Qing had placed Xiaoqing inside the Immortal Realm.

A Fifth Realm Soul Cultivation.

Pretty fast.

"Xiaoqing, perform an Inference. Is Su Hongshang still alive?" Su Qing asked.

Xiaoqing began its Inference. "Based on the concept of ’alive’ within Master’s memories, she is still alive. However, she has been reincarnated into the Jianmu Omniscience Institute and is now a seven-year-old child."

"..."

’Isn’t that the same as not being alive?’ Su Qing couldn’t help but sigh as a wave of sorrow washed over him.

But it was quickly suppressed by the God Demon Devouring Universe Map.
