Around Titan Foxtail, there are usually powerful medium gods standing guard.
Moreover, these medium gods often restrain and counter each other. None of them can truly overpower the others, which is why they are able to coexist in relative harmony near the Titan Foxtail.
The Corrosive Black Centipede is impervious to blades and weapons and can release highly corrosive mist, but it is uniquely afraid of low temperatures.
The Ice Crystal Giant Moth can whip up freezing hurricanes. Its weakness is unknown, but everyone speculates that it is extreme heat.
As for the Lava Crocodile, it can unleash ultra-high-temperature magma attacks. It seems to have no weaknesses at all, but since Qin Siyang managed to kill it, it must have had some flaw. Maybe a certain part of its body couldn't resist corrosion.
These three gods are not only extraordinarily powerful, they also counter each other perfectly, fitting the criteria for guarding Titan Foxtail extremely well.
All the professors present are top-tier researchers. There's no way they wouldn't understand the implications.
Since Qin Siyang killed the Corrosive Black Centipede and the other two medium gods whose bellies contained Titan Foxtail inner leaf fragments, then had he seen the Titan Foxtail itself?
Just as Lu Daoxing was about to ask, Li Tianming turned off the lie detector.
Everyone understood that Li Tianming didn't want Qin Siyang to be forced in front of the lie detector to lay bare all of his secrets and trump cards.
Li Tianming's action also stirred a sense of reflection in everyone's hearts.
Everyone knew that Li Tianming desperately needed Titan Foxtail inner leaves to break through a technological bottleneck and take revenge on Guo Jiuxiao.
Yet in front of Qin Siyang, he showed tremendous restraint.
Li Tianming was a righteous man. Whenever someone around him needed help, he would always lend a hand. But when it came to himself, he didn't want his personal hatred to put pressure on others around him.
Lu Daoxing stood there with his mouth open for a moment, then scratched his garlic-shaped nose.
His instinct was simply to ask about good materials whenever he saw them. He had no intention of squeezing Qin Siyang dry of all his reserves.
Seeing Li Tianming act this way, he tactfully stopped talking.
The other professors also pretended nothing had happened, their expressions unchanged.
Everyone had developed a tacit desire to protect this junior, Qin Siyang.
After all, the kid was kind-hearted. If Qin Siyang really did have Titan Foxtail, then he would definitely take it out when they needed it.
Seeing that the professors no longer dug into the matter of Titan Foxtail and that everything had come to an abrupt halt, Qin Siyang's smile grew even brighter.
Li Tianming stepped forward, straightened Qin Siyang's collar, and gently patted his shoulder, "Little Qin, I was overthinking things just now. Don't take it to heart. What happened with Old Hao last time has kept me on edge ever since."
"Come on, let's go. I want to talk to you alone about opening the Path of the Believer."
"I did indeed obtain an entire Titan Foxtail."
Qin Siyang said this cleanly and decisively, answering all of everyone's unspoken guesses.
After hearing this, the professors first glanced at Qin Siyang, then all broke into knowing smiles.
Lu Daoxing shrugged at Li Tianming, "Old Li, I didn't ask him this. Little Qin volunteered it himself."
Li Tianming shot Qin Siyang a look, feeling like he had nothing to say.
He waved his hand, clearly not planning to bother with it anymore.
Lu Daoxing patted Qin Siyang on the shoulder, "Little Qin, if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have asked. But since you brought it up yourself, don't blame me for coming after you for an IOU."
"I won't ask for much. Three pieces each of the outer leaf, middle leaf, and inner leaf of Titan Foxtail, and I'll get you a tier-five."
Before Lu Daoxing could finish, Chang Tianxiang yanked him aside.
"You're already this old. Can you have some shame? You open your mouth and ask for nine pieces. Titan Foxtail isn't something you got yourself!"
"Didn't I say I'd give him a tier-five item later?"
Wu Yu also chimed in, "Stop shouting. Old Lu, if you really had something like that, how come we didn't see you use it during that life-and-death fight outside the safe zone last time?"
"I… I just didn't think of it at the time…"
["Lie."]
Qin Siyang chuckled, "Sorry, my hand slipped. I'll turn it off right now."
Sure enough, the moment Lu Daoxing saw rare materials, his habit of bragging kicked in again.
Under everyone's scornful gazes, Lu Daoxing blushed, "I'll figure it out sooner or later!"
Li Tianming said, "If you haven't figured it out yet, then don't spout nonsense."
Off to the side, Zhang Kuang said listlessly, "Little Qin, you went out once, killed the Thunder Snow Wolf, the Corrosive Black Centipede, the Ice Crystal Giant Moth, and the Lava Crocodile, and even got Titan Foxtail. You directly solved more than half of the materials Old Li was stuck on. Is there really such a coincidence?"
Qin Siyang couldn't help smacking his lips, "To be honest, I also think it's unbelievably coincidental. When Guo Jiuxiao reported the materials Old Li needed that day, it scared the hell out of me. I thought he was calling them out while looking at the materials in my storage box."
["Truth."]
To make everyone believe that he truly had no idea how this coincidence came about, Qin Siyang turned the lie detector on again.
Zhang Kuang grabbed at his tangled hair hard a couple of times, "That's possible too? Then you really are Old Li's destined benefactor. How come I never run into benefactors like that…"
Li Tianming put his hands on his hips, "You've always said I was your benefactor before. Why are you suddenly turning your back on your benefactor today?"
"You still fall a bit short compared to Little Qin. I'm telling you, Old Li, why don't you two switch roles and acknowledge Little Qin as your godfather. Otherwise, I think you'd feel embarrassed taking all these materials from him."
"Old Zhang, you're talking a bit too much today."
"I'm in a good mood. When I'm in a good mood, I talk more."
Qin Siyang didn't hesitate either. While Li Tianming and Zhang Kuang were chatting idly, he directly took out the storage box containing the portioned Titan Foxtail and placed it in front of everyone.
He first took out a full piece of Titan Foxtail inner leaf and handed it to Li Tianming, "This one is for your research."
Then he took out another inner leaf and gave it to Li Tianming, "This one is for Director Chen's research."
He then turned to the other professors, "How much do you need?"
Hao Liang and Wu Yu each asked for one piece of middle leaf. Chang Tianxiang and Chang Tianxiong together asked for one piece of outer leaf.
Lu Daoxing shamelessly pestered Qin Siyang for one piece each of inner leaf, middle leaf, and outer leaf.
Zhang Kuang said he didn't research this kind of stuff, so he didn't take anything.
Qin Siyang couldn't help but sigh, "Director Zhang really has no desires or demands."
Zhang Kuang glanced at Qin Siyang tiredly, "Little Qin, you didn't forget that I want Death Spore Powder, did you?"
"Uh… okay, now that you mention it, I really did forget. I'll have to look up what that is. I've never even heard of it."
Chang Tianxiong immediately followed up, "I want Phantom Crystals! Little Qin, don't forget."
Wu Yu echoed him. "I want Phantom Crystals too." Then he added, "If you can trade for them, that would be best. If you really have to hunt gods to get them, then don't take the risk."
"Professor Wu, don't worry. Whether I can even encounter them is a whole different matter."
Qin Siyang put away the round carapace offerings, then gave Li Tianming a confident smile, "The corpses of the Lava Crocodile and the Ice Crystal Giant Moth haven't been dealt with yet. I'll give them to you in a couple of days. I said it already, the materials are on me. Sooner or later, I'll get them all for you. You have to believe me!"
Li Tianming turned his head slightly, his reddened eyes avoiding Qin Siyang's gaze.
His trembling hand tried twice to find the pocket but failed to slip in, so he could only tug at the hem of his clothes.
He responded softly, "Okay."
