Then let them offer their loyalty!

This idea even made Qiu Tu, a pervert, feel a bit perverted.

However, he immediately became curious about who made the potion and who it was intended for.

After much thought, Qiu Tu concluded that in the New Territories, the only person who could be so perverse and happen to be involved in the act of "reproduction" was the evil goddess La Ri Luo.

Previously, Lariro's followers created "rosemary love potion," which was later proven to be used to bewitch and tame the wives of section chiefs and department heads.

Now that she has created this "pregnancy potion," Qiu Tu is honestly a little worried.

He suspected that Larilu was plotting something again, or had her eye on some target...

Aside from the three Cataclysmic Treasures obtained in the "salvage game," Qiu Tu didn't gain much else in the past seven or eight days.

Because Wang Xi was arrested, Qiu Tu's authority hadn't expanded, and his subordinates were all highly loyal, his "fighting game" had no worthy opponents. So Qiu Tu simply didn't even bother playing it.

As for the [Crisis Treasure Chest], since there haven't been many crises recently, only [Jia Shu's Assassination] brought Qiu Tu one catastrophe material: Shadow Fragment.

According to the description of the cheat code, this is a somewhat valuable Cataclysm material that can be used to craft Cataclysm items such as "Shadow Whip", "Spell Skull", and "Old Seal".

This corresponds to the cataclysmic material that Qiu Tu obtained last time, called "Nameless Stele Stone Powder".

Qiu Tu pondered handing the material over to Shen Lingshuang to see what kind of amazing cataclysmic artifact this genius blacksmith could create!

Aside from the rewards he received from the cheat system, Qiu Tu's biggest gains during this period were his promotion and the improvement of his disaster recovery capabilities.

The former allowed him to truly gain a certain status and influence within the Detective Agency and in the New Territories.

The latter, however, further enhanced his strength.

However, Qiu Tu has always been puzzled by the fact that he is already very strong, second only to the highest-ranking third-tier Cataclysmic Being among humans.

But... why does he still feel so weak?

This extreme weakness is not only physical, but also mental.

He didn't seem to have the same strong self-confidence as Tang Feifei, nor did he seem to have the awareness of becoming a superhuman being.

He always felt like he was missing something...

He wasn't sure if it was because he was a latecomer to the field, groping his way on the path of catastrophe alone, and lacking certain key factors.

So, he plans to have a serious talk with Tang Feifei about this matter if he has time in the next couple of days, to see if there's anything wrong...

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was taking stock of his gains.

Footsteps could be heard on the stairs on the second floor of the villa.

Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze and looked up. He saw Shen Lingshuang, with her short legs, running happily and excitedly downstairs.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bai's body had become flat and wide, almost like a thin sheet, carrying a black statue the size of a basketball on its back. It followed behind Shen Ling Shuang and ran happily downstairs.

Because the potion it drank was incomplete, only one part of its body could grow larger. Therefore, its large body, coupled with its short four legs, small head, and bent body, looked extremely comical.

Qiu Tu smiled as he looked at the man and the dog, and then got up to greet them.

When Shen Lingshuang reached Qiu Tu, she grabbed his hand, pointed to the black statue on Xiao Bai's body, and excitedly said, "Qiu Tu, look! What's this?"

Qiu Tu held Shen Ling Shuang's hand, tilted his head and looked at the black statue on Xiao Bai's body, carefully examining it for a long time.

But... perhaps Shen Lingshuang's artistic skills were too superb, Qiu Tu looked at it carefully for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out what the statue was.

In his view, it was a structure made of mud... mud.

It was covered with the marks and fingerprints of Shen Lingshuang's clenched hands, making it look like an octopus. It looked strange, and upon closer inspection, it even had a touch of Cthulhu horror.

However, faced with Shen Lingshuang's pride, Qiu Tu felt that it was most likely that there was something wrong with his own aesthetic judgment.

So he looked at Shen Lingshuang and tentatively asked, "Is it... a work of art?"

Shen Lingshuang clearly didn't notice Qiu Tu's confusion. She exclaimed excitedly, "A thinker! This is a thinker!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu took another careful look at the black statue.

After a long while, he suddenly realized!

I didn't notice at all...

But faced with the results of the girl's hard work over several days, Qiu Tu certainly wouldn't tell the truth honestly.

So he didn't hesitate to give Shen Lingshuang a thumbs up, offering plenty of emotional support, "You really do look alike!"

"Ling Shuang, you know what? You really are quite skillful!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's praise, Shen Lingshuang chuckled shyly twice and then said, "Actually... my father has always praised me for my artistic talent since I was a child."

"They say the clay figures I sculpt look just like real people."

Qiu Tu:.......

It's alright, your father is a high-ranking official, so what he says makes sense.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu steered the conversation back to the main topic. He asked, "So what exactly is the purpose of this contemplative statue?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Shen Ling Shuang proudly put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said triumphantly, "This is the first cataclysmic artifact I created: a mind statue!"

"Mind sculpture...?"

As he murmured the name, the confusion on Qiu Tu's face slowly turned into realization.

He remembered.

The last time he saw Shen Lingshuang repairing her workbench, preparing to create a Cataclysmic Treasure, he casually handed over all the Cataclysmic materials he had obtained before: the ashes of a giant beast and memory clay to Shen Lingshuang (Chapter 182).

According to the description of these two cataclysmic materials by the cheat code, they can be used to create a cataclysmic artifact called "Mind Statue".

Qiu Tu didn't have high expectations for Shen Lingshuang to create this treasure; he just wanted to give Shen Lingshuang something to do.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lingshuang actually managed to make it in just a few days!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu looked at Shen Ling Shuang with a hint of surprise.

Qiu Tu's surprised look clearly pleased Shen Lingshuang.

She carefully removed the "Mind Statue" from Xiaobai, then held it in her arms and introduced it to Qiu Tu, saying, "Don't let its slightly ugly appearance fool you. This Cataclysmic Artifact I made looks terrible. But... I guarantee it! Its abilities and effects are flawless!"

At this point, Shen Lingshuang said with a proud look, "The effect of this cataclysmic artifact is to greatly enhance the user's thinking speed, memory and other abilities."

"It can not only help users analyze problems and make decisions more easily, but also help users learn knowledge and skills quickly."

Shen Lingshuang said with a serious expression, "So this treasure can really be called a cheating artifact."

With a nostalgic look in her eyes, she said, "In the Third Shelter, many powerful and influential people used it as an aid to quickly learn a skill or acquire certain knowledge. It often made things much more efficient."

Hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "If I want to learn some martial arts, will it work?"

Shen Lingshuang slightly puffed out her small chest and said confidently, "Of course!"

"It will have excellent results for anything related to learning and thinking."

At this point, Shen Lingshuang, perhaps worried that Qiu Tu wouldn't believe her, gave an example, "Actually... I used this cataclysmic artifact in the Third Sanctuary."

She said, "I learned my pharmacology, potion-making skills, and the ability to create cataclysmic artifacts all through it!"

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, when Qiu Tu heard Shen Lingshuang's words, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

Did Shen Lingshuang learn her unreliable pharmaceutical and artifact forging abilities through "mind sculpting"?

Why did Qiu Tu suddenly feel that this treasure was unreliable?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu coughed to cover his emotions, and then asked, "So... does this treasure have any side effects?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang immediately calmed down.

She looked at Qiu Tu and said, "This prop does have some side effects."

Qiu Tu tentatively inquired, "Is it that the things you're learning are incredibly strange?"

Shen Lingshuang: ? ? ?

She always felt that Qiu Tu was implying something, but she had no evidence.

So, she pouted and looked at Qiu Tu suspiciously. Seeing that he hadn't noticed anything amiss, she dismissed the thought and said, "It's not that what I'm learning is strange. It's just... it requires a lot of mental energy."

Shen Lingshuang held up a finger to her face and explained, "While these learning tools can significantly shorten study time,... they double a person's learning ability by increasing 'brain speed' and enhancing brain activity."

"This results in it requiring an enormous amount of mental energy in a short period of time."

"Generally, only Cataclysmic beings of the second rank or higher can afford such a huge price."

"Of course, if there are a large number of potions or items that can replenish mental energy, ordinary people or ordinary disaster victims can also use them."

"I was able to use this Noble Phantasm by taking medicine in the first place."

At this point, Shen Lingshuang looked a little embarrassed and spread her hands, saying, "So... you might have to wait a while before you can use this Cataclysmic Treasure."

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Qiu Tu's face immediately showed a strange expression.

He glanced at the dark, unremarkable statue, then at Shen Lingshuang's disappointed face, coughed, and slowly said, "Hmm... how did you know I became a second-tier Cataclysm?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang, who had been somewhat sullen, was taken aback. Then her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked up at Qiu Tu with a shocked expression, as if trying to find signs of lying on his face.

However, Qiu Tu was telling the truth, so he looked at Shen Ling Shuang with a frank gaze, without even a flicker in his eyes.

The two stared at each other silently for two or three seconds, and Shen Lingshuang finally believed it!

She exclaimed in shock, "You really became a Tier 2 Cataclysm?!"

Qiu Tu first smiled and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, he reached into his pocket and took out the empty crystal bottle that he had just given Qin Shuman to drink from, and then said, "Also... how did you know I have a Cataclysmic Treasure that replenishes my spiritual energy?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang couldn't help but look down at the bottle in Qiu Tu's hand again.

That exquisitely crafted crystal bottle was nothing like the bizarre shapes of the treasures she made.

Therefore, with just one glance, relying on the encyclopedia of catastrophic artifacts imprinted in her brain by the "mind statue," Shen Ling Shuang accurately identified the catastrophic artifact in front of her: Nightmare Crystal Bottle.

A cataclysmic item that can be reused to replenish mental energy.

Shen Lingshuang looked at Qiu Tu in surprise again.

She was greeted by Qiu Tu's smiling expression.

Shen Lingshuang stared blankly at Qiu Tu for a while, then said with a strange expression, "Qiu Tu... you really have a lot of secrets."

She paused for a moment before adding, "Last time I found out you got promoted so quickly, I suspected you sold your body to your boss."

"Now... I suspect you've sold your body to an evil god."

"After all, apart from the evil god, how could a person's strength increase so quickly, and how could they possess so many cataclysmic treasures?"

Qiu Tu:.......

To be honest, Qiu Tu felt that Shen Lingshuang had really gone down the wrong path by studying pharmaceuticals. She should have gone to study fortune telling or become a charlatan!

After all... even though her process was completely wrong, the result was always so accurate.

Thinking about how La Riluo was eyeing his virginity and how beautiful women kept coming to him, Qiu Tu felt that with his willpower, he might not be able to resist for long.

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Shen Ling Shuang took the Nightmare Crystal Bottle from Qiu Tu's hand.

As she carefully examined them, she remarked with a touch of cuteness, "You know what? Actually... Cataclysmic items and cataclysmic potions aren't exactly commonplace."

“Even shelters are more commonly found in the hands of the middle and upper classes.”

"As for the ground floor, or areas awaiting planning, there are very few of those."

"They'll probably have more in the hands of evil gods."

Shen Lingshuang's voice was crisp and youthful, somewhat like a lark, and sounded particularly pleasant.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu snapped out of his reverie and asked, "Why does the evil god have more?"

Shen Lingshuang grinned, showing off her two little tiger teeth, and said, "You're so silly!"

"Of course, it's because there's a lot of catastrophic material in the boundless sea of ​​the mind."

"The formation of a piece of Cataclysmic material must be due to the baptism of Cataclysmic power or taken from the body of a Cataclysmic creature."
