This time, Qin Mo could answer the question.
"Mistress, in the history of the Federation, there have indeed been an extremely small number of females who awakened special abilities and were able to help males purify their contamination in order to raise their ability rank."
"However, you probably also know that the probability of a female awakening special abilities is less than one in ten thousand, so this kind of situation is even rarer."
"According to the information I have on file, to date, only two honored ladies in the entire Federation have been able to upgrade their abilities through this method. However, those two ladies have long since returned to the galaxy."
To put it more plainly, the two females who had come before had already passed away of natural causes.
But this situation had indeed existed, and there were records regarding abilities in the Federation's archives.
Yunyang's beautiful eyes immediately lit up.
If that was the case, then if she helped males purify their contamination while simultaneously absorbing low-level bug cores, wouldn't her ability upgrade speed be incredibly fast?
Even an F-rank ability user could dream of rising to S-rank!
But she only had five beast-husbands. Qin Mo and Xuan Yu's contamination values were temporarily stable for now, and the other three beast-husbands had yet to arrive.
Relying on just a few beast-husbands probably wouldn't be enough.
Seeing Yunyang's eyes dim again, Xuan Yu seemed to think of something, and took the initiative to say, "If Mistress wants to upgrade her abilities this way, you could go to the Federation Purification Tower."
Worried that Yunyang might not know what a Purification Tower was, he proactively explained.
The Purification Tower was called a tower, but in reality, it was no different from a prison.
The males inside all had contamination values exceeding 95 but had not yet crossed the 100 limit.
Such males had to be placed under supervision, which was why the Purification Tower had come into existence.
Each floor of the tower supervised a varying number of high-contamination males. As such, apart from the supervisors, only females willing to help purify were permitted to enter.
"Mistress, the Purification Tower is very dangerous. If you absolutely must go, please be sure to bring me... and Xuan Yu."
Qin Mo gritted his teeth on those last few words.
Even though he was reluctant, he had to go with that wolf cub for Mistress's safety.
Inside were all males affected by contamination values. In that kind of situation, an S-rank female with purifying ability in there was no different from a sheep barging into a wolf den.
Especially since many of those "wolves" had long since lost anything resembling reason.
"I will." Yunyang also knew how serious this was.
Any male with a contamination value above 90 was at risk of going berserk and hurting people at any moment, let alone those in the 95–100 range.
Even if she wanted to upgrade her abilities, she wouldn't gamble with her own life.
Only then did Qin Mo tell her how to apply to enter the Purification Tower.
The process was simple. All she had to do was contact the head of the X92 Star High-Contamination Male Supervision Center on her optical brain.
Yunyang sent a message according to what Qin Mo had said.
·
X92 Star Purification Tower.
This was the least popular place on the entire planet, with no other buildings within several hundred kilometers around it.
The high tower was filled with a violent, oppressive aura, and each floor had at least ten supervisors.
All of these supervisors came from the Federation military. Apart from their abilities, their overall qualities were top-notch, precisely to prevent those males who had lost their reason from escaping.
Apart from the noble females who occasionally came to help, no one would go near this place.
At the very top floor of the tower was the office of Lao Wei, the highest supervisor of the Purification Tower and the head of the X92 Star High-Contamination Male Supervision Center.
Lao Wei had to inspect the supervised individuals on every floor each day. After finishing that work, he would frantically post help requests on the star network.
The Federation had too many Purification Towers. It had been a long time since any honored lady had visited their X92 Star.
If this continued, those males with contamination values of 99 would eventually turn into beasts without reason.
Most of them had come from the Federation military and had ended up this way while resisting the bug swarms. They were heroes of the Federation.
They were also Lao Wei's former comrades-in-arms.
Seeing any former comrade turn into a beast was something Lao Wei could not bear.
If just one honored lady were willing to come and help, even a mere F-rank mental power user, it would greatly slow down the speed at which his old comrades completely degenerated into beasts.
But no one came.
His help requests, like before, attracted no attention from any females.
The males who saw the requests could do nothing but feel sympathy.
Lao Wei lowered his head in pain.
His military merits were also used up, and he could no longer exchange them for a direct request to an honored lady.
Was he really supposed to watch his old comrades turn into mindless beasts?
At the moment of Lao Wei's despair, his optical brain suddenly rang out.
He almost eagerly opened it, hoping it might be some honored lady replying to his post.
It was not.
It was someone contacting him through the official website.
This was a common situation. The Federation's supervision could not cover everything.
Some males whose contamination values had just barely exceeded 95 had not yet been detected, so other beast-kin would contact them to bring those individuals back to the Purification Tower.
Lao Wei silently notified the first supervisor squad to prepare for an external mission.
There were more and more males in the Purification Tower.
It was only after sending the notification that he opened the message.
Unexpectedly, it was from a noble lady: [Hello, I would like to go to the Purification Tower to help.]
Lao Wei suddenly stood up.
Was he seeing things?
Had an honored lady really agreed to come help?
Lao Wei was overjoyed, and replied in a fluster: [Of course, of course, noble lady, when would you be available?]
His old comrades had hope!
[Tomorrow morning, I suppose. Please arrange for two males who need purification.]
[Very well, very well. Where does the lady live? Do we need to send someone to pick you up?]
[No need. My beast-husbands will escort me there.]
After replying to Lao Wei's message, Yunyang finally had time to go out for a walk. Naturally, this time she went with her two beast-husbands together.
With no shady beast-kin coming over to harass her, taking a walk was actually quite relaxing.
After returning to the villa, Yunyang sat down on the sofa and began absorbing the bug cores from Xuan Yu's dowry.
One by one, the bug cores became empty shells with no energy, which were then "eaten" by the Butlers One, Two, and Three.
These empty shells were treated as garbage, and the garbage elimination system built into the butler robots could handle such things very well.
While Yunyang was busy, her two beast-husbands were also not idle, beginning to prepare her second meal of the day.
Of course, not long after, Qin Mo was kicked out of the kitchen.
The reason was that Xuan Yu found him clumsy and in the way, interfering with his work.
Qin Mo was happy to be free of the task, and hurried over to Yunyang's side, helping her hand the absorbed bug cores to Butlers One, Two, and Three.
Level one and level two bug cores could only provide very limited energy. Yunyang absorbed over a hundred of them, yet she only felt her ability improve by a tiny bit.
It was still less than what she gained from helping Xuan Yu purify his contamination!
This kind of utterly slow upgrade speed was no wonder the Federation had so few S-rank ability users.
Yunyang let out a sigh, picked up another bug core and prepared to absorb it, only then catching the aroma of delicious food in the air.
She turned her head and indeed saw Xuan Yu carrying two plates of steaming hot dishes toward the dining corner.
