Chapter 209

Xia Dongliu immediately laughed heartily, walked up warmly, and patted Xu Zi'an on the shoulder.

His eyes were filled with satisfaction: "No need for such formalities."

"Zi'an, you have truly given me, your Master, a huge surprise."

"I originally thought you would need three years to pass the assessment."

"I never imagined you would pass it in just a few months."

"Really quite impressive."

Receiving his Master's praise, Xu Zi'an chuckled: "Actually, it's mainly because I quite like this line of work."

"In truth, my talent isn't as good as you say, Master."

"Ever since reaching Rank 1, I began researching the evolution of frigates and the enhancement of Perfect-grade quality."

"Unfortunately, it's been several months, and now I can only upgrade some unimportant small components to Perfect-grade."

"For slightly larger components, I am unable to do it; I end up failing every time."

"As for the evolution of the frigate itself, I currently have no clue at all."

"Since you seem a bit free now, Master, I have many questions I'd like to ask... uh..."

As Xu Zi'an spoke, he noticed the atmosphere seemed a bit off.

He saw his Master, along with the several elderly men with crane-like hair and youthful complexions behind and beside him, slowly opening their mouths one by one, looking at him with stunned expressions.

Xu Zi'an, meanwhile, was somewhat confused.

Did he...

say something wrong?

It is true that he can only evolve some very small, unimportant components to Perfect-grade, and the success rate is quite low.

This has made Xu Zi'an feel quite dejected during this period.

Because not long after he first bound the system, during his first evolution simulation,

his level reached Rank 1, and it was a Rank 1 capable of evolving to Excellent-grade.

Now, after trying so many times, he still cannot successfully evolve the frigate, and even component evolution has a high probability of failure.

This makes him feel that he might not really be a genius.

So, isn't this the perfect time to ask his Master and see if he has any time later?

To have him clear up his confusion or something.

Perhaps he might have an epiphany.

It's just that...

what is wrong with them???

Xu Zi'an was bewildered.
