Chapter 308: 3S Female
In past tests, she had discovered that a female’s spiritual power level ranged from approximately 1 to 100. A score of 100 was the current S-level, while 1 was the F-level.
As for this device, the director usually used it on herself more than anyone. Her highest reading had reached 101, but it seemed unstable and often hovered around 100. This made her wonder if her theory comparing spiritual power to potential was completely misguided.
Unlike a male’s, a female’s spiritual power could only reach a maximum of 100, which was S-level.
However, Shi Lan’s test today had just confirmed her suspicions. She hadn’t been wrong—spiritual power, just like potential, was limitless.
And Shi Lan’s spiritual power, according to the director’s own researched classification system, wasn’t just 2S, but at least 3S.
The reason she used "at least" was that a 3S Female was still unknown territory. No one had ever reached that level before, and the director had no research samples to reference. It was only an estimate.
After Shi Lan took off the helmet, the director turned off the device and stared at her with fervent eyes. "Lanlan, do you know? You might be a 3S Female, not just S-level."
Shi Lan’s jaw dropped in a daze. "D-Director, are you sure? I thought... the device... can only measure up to S?"
She was so stunned that her words came out in a stammer.
The director shook her head. "That’s for the commercially available devices. Mine is different. It’s a machine I developed myself that can test above S. However, I wasn’t sure if it actually worked, so I never released it to the market."
"It wasn’t until I saw your test results today that I could be certain."
"No wonder you were able to control your spiritual power so quickly in the game test just now."
The director’s voice was clearly trembling with excitement. Her eyes, which usually held the deep wisdom of age, were now blazing with a fiery light. The reason she had always focused on spiritual power research was because of Ye Ming’s spiritual power collapse in the beginning.
In the past, there had never been a single case of recovery from spiritual power collapse. The director suspected that the S-level of a female’s spiritual power was too low, making it impossible to treat males of 2S or higher who were prone to spiritual power collapse.
’If a female’s spiritual power were stronger,’ she had thought, ’could that solve this problem?’
And now, she finally couldn’t resist asking, "Lanlan, were you the one who treated Ming’er and the others?"
Shi Lan was also taken aback by how high her own Spiritual Power Level was.
Hearing the director’s question, she instantly understood what kind of "treatment" she was referring to.
She wanted to hide it, but the director already knew her Spiritual Power Level. It was obvious she had guessed something, so there was little point in lying.
After all, Shi Lan never thought she could hide the fact that she had treated their spiritual power collapses for a lifetime.
So, after a moment’s hesitation, she nodded.
Upon hearing this, the director was finally certain.
’My theory must be correct. Spiritual power that surpasses S-level has the ability to treat spiritual power collapse.’
’So how can one raise their Spiritual Power Level?’
The director was desperate to ask more questions, but she had already lost her composure enough. Worried that asking too much would annoy Shi Lan, she suppressed her curiosity for the time being and said, "Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about you being 3S, or about Ming’er and the others."
Shi Lan’s lips curved into a smile. "Thank you."
However, the two of them were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn’t notice a female lingering outside the door for quite some time.
Her eyes flickered. Suppressing the shock in her heart, she quietly slipped away, found a dark corner, and typed a line of text on her chip.
"Interested in a big deal? This information is definitely worth a lot."
The reply was a question: "You sure? I need to know how big."
The female sent an audio file, then quickly retracted it.
"Fifty million Star Coins. Trust me, this news will definitely earn you more than that."
"Okay."
A transfer came through from the other party, and the female sent the audio file.
That afternoon, before Shi Lan had even left the director’s office, she discovered a crowd of males had gathered outside Zhenxin Hospital, all talking animatedly.
"Director, did you really develop a device that can test for Super S-level spiritual power?"
"Director, is Shi Lan’s Spiritual Power Level really 3S?"
"Oh my god, is it true? If there’s a 3S Level female, does that mean we don’t have to worry about spiritual power collapse anymore?"
The director stood at the window, looking down at the dense crowd below. Listening to their words, her expression turned grave. "Someone eavesdropped on our conversation and leaked your spiritual power."
After speaking, she turned to Shi Lan apologetically. "I’m sorry, Lanlan. This is all my fault."
Shi Lan was currently reading the news online. Ye Ming had also contacted her, his message filled with worry. He told her that while he’d quickly dispatched people to take the news down, the discussion was too widespread to contain. As an heir, he couldn’t resort to intimidation, and since the information was true, he had no right to do so anyway.
After listening, Shi Lan realized it was an audio recording of her conversation with the director. It clearly exposed her 3S Spiritual Power but didn’t mention her ability to treat spiritual power collapse.
But since things had come to this, she wasn’t that afraid. Things were different now. She had powerful Beast Husbands and her own abilities; she was no longer the helpless, isolated person she once was.
A message came from Ye Ming: "Lanlan, don’t worry. I’m coming to get you right now."
Not only that, but Jiang Xia, Mu Tangfeng, and Yan Huoshui were on their way too. They were worried something might happen to her. Even He Hanshi, feeling uneasy, had dispatched a squad from the Capital Star to help.
Downstairs, the security guards recruited by the director were forming a strong, solid line to hold back the surging crowd.
As a hospital for females, the director’s security guards were all retired soldiers recommended by her own primary husband. Every one of them was highly capable, so they could hold the crowd back for a while.
Shi Lan turned off her chip and looked at the director, comforting her. "It’s all right, Director. You don’t need to blame yourself. It’s just my spiritual power. It doesn’t matter if other people know."
"But... you’re the only 3S Female. I’m afraid some males might do something crazy..."
The director’s brows were tightly furrowed, her expression still fraught with worry. Ordinary males below A-level weren’t the main problem. She was most worried about the S-level and higher males. They faced the greatest risk of spiritual power collapse, and when faced with their own mortality, it was hard to guarantee they would still abide by the female protection code.
Shi Lan knew this as well, but her greatest asset was her own spiritual power talent.
However, for safety’s sake, she wouldn’t easily reveal her Talent Skill. She just said, "Have you forgotten? My Beast Husbands are all very formidable. Whether it’s Ye Ming or He Hanshi and the others, their spiritual power is immense. Almost no one is a match for them."
"If you really had to name someone, it would probably only be the Monarch."
"But the Monarch probably wouldn’t do something like this."
Hearing this, the director’s expression didn’t improve; on the contrary, it grew even more grim.
’Other people might not know what the Monarch is like, but she knew him best.’
’Especially after something she had witnessed with her own eyes back then.’
The director couldn’t very well bring up these old stories to a junior’s face, so she simply reminded Shi Lan again, "No matter what, you must be careful of the Monarch."
