Chapter 1295 576: Aftermath
Although Xing Xueman dislikes Jinfang Zai, she is willing to make some compromises to avenge her master.
Moreover... Jinfang Zai, despite the risk of demonization, possesses undeniable strength. If he were to fight without reservation, he might even be stronger than her.
As the youngest and fastest rising Hall Master, her foundation is still too shallow.
Whether it's handling affairs or investigating cases, having Jinfang Zai's assistance makes things much easier.
After pondering for a moment, Xing Xueman spoke.
"Alright! Just this once, you and I will work on this case together!"
Jinfang Zai smiled and extended his hand.
The other fair hand reluctantly reached out and then clasped it.
The two Hall Masters, at this moment, have formed an alliance to investigate!
Such a scale is extremely rare, even in the history of Thunder City!
After all, which Hall Master isn't a peak-level powerhouse? Handling cases alone is impressively oppressive, and working together, they could almost suppress any force outside the Ten Major Families!
This game of cat and mouse seems to have ended right from the start...
...
"Ah-choo!"
Fang Yu sneezed.
The surrounding feathers fluttered about, and his nose felt rather uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after a night's effort, the feathers had almost all been categorized.
In fact, Ding Hui had divided the processed Golden Feather into three tiers.
The first tier consisted of golden feathers mixed with tiny granular particles that resembled gold beads, which to Fang Yu, looked somewhat like the platelets in a human body.
The more gold beads mixed, the higher the quality seemed to be.
Before Ding Hui processed them, these Golden Feather appeared no different from other Golden Feather; it was only after processing that their special qualities became apparent, with the feathers seeming to transform into translucent blood vessels, revealing certain internal structures.
The second tier was purely golden, where the enhanced phenomenon allowed a direct view inside the golden feathers, as if containing a golden liquid, like molten golden water.
The feathers would undulate together with any slight shake.
However, most of the feathers in this second tier contained very little golden liquid, with only a few having more gold liquid, marked specially by Ding Hui.
As for the third tier, it was far more ordinary, with feathers that were almost non-transparent and not purely golden, but a mixture of white and gold. According to Ding Hui's explanation, this tier was categorized by the extent of gold coverage, with more gold coverage indicating better quality.
Among the three tiers, Fang Yu could only assist with the third tier, which was relatively easier to differentiate, and also the most numerous. Ding Hui soaked them in specially mixed medicinal water, took a quick look, and then tossed them to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu then had to sort the third-tier feathers by gold content from top to bottom for Ding Hui to easily access and use.
The task wasn't troublesome, but Ding Hui inspected each Golden Feather individually, so the efficiency was low, and it took all night to barely complete it.
Next, they would reprocess the materials and attempt to integrate them into Golden Bone, testing specific reactions.
This step didn't require Fang Yu's help, as he couldn't assist even if he wanted to.
Once Ding Hui completed the processing, Fang Yu, as the Golden Bone holder, would be needed for direct human experimentation.
Since Ding Hui handled things personally, Fang Yu had never considered the risk of performing direct human experiments, which could be extremely high.
If it weren't Ding Hui wielding the scalpel, but another doctor, they might not even dare to proceed, as most doctors lack confidence in managing the situation if issues arise during human experimentation.
But Ding Hui could, even predicting possible scenarios and preparing before starting the operation. Even if unexpected situations occurred, she could silently resolve them, ensuring Fang Yu never felt anything went wrong during the experiment.
"So, you don't need me now?" Fang Yu washed his hands and asked, tilting his head.
"Not for the moment, I'll handle the rest. I'll call you when it's done."
The Golden Feather was just a bold conjecture within Ding Hui's knowledge reserve for producing beneficial effects on Golden Bone; whether it would work had to be tested.
But with the opportunity right in front of her, Ding Hui wouldn't miss it.
Fang Yu glanced at the feathers lined up on the table, lost in thought.
Like the rarity ranking in a card game.
The first-tier Golden Pearl Feather was akin to SSR rarity; out of the large batch of feathers brought back, only five contained gold beads.
According to Ding Hui, if successful, these few high-quality tier-one feathers could extend the Golden Finger's coverage to a full finger.
Of course, this was the ideal scenario; Ding Hui planned to try increasing the success rate through material purification, auxiliary enhancements, and effect strengthening, but the final experiment results would tell.
The second-tier pure gold feathers were akin to SR and were more numerous than Golden Pearl Feather, but still not abundant, totaling about thirty-four feathers.
This tier of feathers was useful, but significantly inferior to tier-one feathers, with mixed quality. Generally, they served as experimental material for consumption, essentially consumables, as substitutes for lower-SRR items.
