Applied Immortality

Chapter 158: You’re So Human-like

“Deviating brings disaster, but disaster offers Evolution Chart the opportunity to advance. It’s a blessing. Isn’t your Heavenly Spirit Range’s cultivation method tough?”

Ai Dinglan smiled. She said the same thing on their first meeting.

“They say Little Wang Qi aims for Myriad Arts Sect’s true disciple spot, yes? Missing out on this examination will lower your chances of achieving your goals, to say nothing of the Bernoulli family.” Ai Dinglan said as she rocked in the squeaky chair. “Evolution Chart has great potential, but it has to be mapped out carefully.”

Wang Qi cracked up. “Don’t I have you, Senior Sister?”

“Me?”

“Senior Sister’s bean is still fresh in my mind.” Wang Qi laughed. “You have any more Mendel clan peas?”

Ai Dinglan’s rocking stopped. “Eh? So that was your plan all along! Hold on, didn’t Zimiao say you did something with her last night? So that’s…”

“Please change ‘something’ into math.”

Ai Dinglan puffed up in mock anger. “Anywho, was this your plan all along, Little Wang Qi?”

Wang Qi huffed.

He had a certain dumb cat ‘chill out’ last night, and not all of it was out of spite. It was done to force her to sleep in a roundabout way while also making sure she forgot everything about looking after him. It was a twofer.

First off, fractals weren’t detailed in the Immortal Institute’s curriculum and he couldn’t learn them. And since his ties with Daoist Proscribe were still unclear, it was best to play it safe and not use too advanced concepts.

If a certain grandpa told on him to a certain dumb cat, that same dumb cat would stop him too—unlike the spirit grandpa, she had a physical body she could make use of as well.

But this modified ancient art, incorporating aspects far beyond its original scope, had an unclear origin. He couldn’t just give it over to others to test it out. As for stopping, did you expect a re

For the sake of his mental health, Wang Qi cried out, “Hey, hey! Senior Sister, that’s enough! Just pick it from the top?”

Ai Dinglan picked a pea from her sleeve. Her affable smile had Wang Qi unable to determine if she was a natural airhead or doing it on purpose.

With the Mendel pea in hand, Ai Dinglan turned grave. “Junior Brother, think it through. Mendel pea might help with Evolution Chart, but it contains Senior Mendel’s insights and would affect the prospects of your path of life and path of bloodlines.”

Wang Qi smiled carelessly. “I never planned on walking those paths. My path lies in math and using it to model natural selection for my cultivation in Evolution Chart.”

Ai Dinglan guffawed. “That’s some weird path there, Junior Brother! You and him are so alike. So confident…”
