I gazed at Qinglan, stroking her soft hair gently, knowing she smelled like my shampoo made me excited.
But there were other things I needed to do.
'System, Qinglan is fine right?'
There was a beat of silence while I bit my lip, nervously.
[System Message: Mu Qinglan is no longer infected. Her immunity remains, and many other benefits. However, to call her human would be wrong, too. She is an evolved human, or a mutant, using your knowledge and hobbies.]
'I see...' Relief, that's what I felt hearing these words, mutant or cat girl... who cared if she was alive and safe.
The bigger changes might be mine...
'System, how did I reach Stage Two so suddenly?'
The question was filled with concern and worry, because after curing Qinglan, something changed inside my body. Now I only needed two hours of sleep a day, which made it difficult to adjust.
