Chapter 130: Longing for This Day, Taking the Initiative! (Seeking continued readership)

To expedite the acquisition of the aerial Safe Zone, Wang Shengbang had all major bases quickly collect a batch of crystals.

He didn't hesitate to use a large amount of food and other supplies to exchange for them from individuals or private organizations.

Originally, supplies had a standard price across all bases.

But to quickly obtain a sum of crystals, they had to offer double the amount of supplies in exchange for crystals.

"Mr. Lu, this batch of crystals totals 260,000 Tier 2, 5,000 Tier 3, 200 Tier 4, and three Tier 5 crystals."

Wang Shengbang said earnestly:

"We will pay the required amount of crystals as soon as possible, and for the information you requested, we have already assigned personnel quotas. Once there's news, we will inform you immediately."

"I hope the price can be reduced to one-tenth. We will provide no less than ten qualified personnel information to you!"

"The common people cannot afford to wait, I beg you, sir."

He paused, seemingly afraid Lu Zheng would refuse, and added:

"Professor Nan will be coming to you today. Please take good care of her."

The meaning of these words was obvious.

Professor Nan Yirou had already agreed to become his woman.

These past few days, Gu Lengyue had been probing Professor Nan Yirou, and the latter had already wavered.

Wang Shengbang personally found her, emphasized Lu Zheng's importance, and then explained the various benefits of following Lu Zheng.

Ultimately, Professor Nan Yirou gave a positive reply.

Although it wasn't information about a newcomer, being able to immediately unlock a new transcendent material still satisfied Lu Zheng.

He said with a smile:

"Alright, once I've absorbed the crystals and recovered my energy, I will immediately begin the construction of the second aerial Safe Zone."

"The price will be one-tenth, which means 10,000 Tier 3 crystals for one Safe Zone."

"However, when building the next Safe Zone, you will need to provide another batch of crystals and an additional piece of information about a top-tier goddess."

"After providing enough for nine pieces of information, I will only need the crystals to build new Safe Zones."

Wang Shengbang immediately nodded in agreement.

No matter what, being able to build the first aerial Safe Zone meant a group of people could be settled.

Settling some people in advance could reduce casualties.

"Alright, Professor Nan needs to pack some experimental equipment and will arrive at your place by evening."

After Wang Shengbang finished speaking, the conversation concluded.

Lu Zheng, having received a large sum of crystals, wasted no time and quickly began absorbing them.

He was already a Tier 6 ability user, and to advance to Tier 7, he estimated he would need at least 50,000 Tier 3 crystals, or over 600,000 Tier 2 crystals.

Lu Zheng had already absorbed energy equivalent to 20,000 Tier 3 crystals.

Even after absorbing all the crystals obtained from this transaction, it was still not enough for him to advance to Tier 7.

But he was just one step away.

His ability had been enhanced, and he estimated that with a small additional batch of crystals, he would be able to advance to Tier 7.

After absorbing the crystals, it was already night.

He had even missed dinner.

Now, chefs were in place on the cruise ship, and a batch of fresh ingredients had been obtained, allowing for delicious food to be provided.

Coupled with Bai Zhihui's portable space and the sealed cards held by other girls, more or less some food and supplies were stored.

Therefore, there was no need to worry that his women would go without food when Lu Zheng was not around.

When he returned to the cruise ship, Professor Nan Yirou was chatting with Gu Lengyue and Yao Qiaoqiao.

The three of them were university professors with extensive knowledge. Although Yao Qiaoqiao's research direction differed from the other two, their thinking abilities were equally matched.

They could converse on various topics.

While chatting, they were soaking in the pool, with a floating table in the water holding some fruits and snacks.

They ate and chatted, appearing very happy.

Lu Zheng entered the pool, then emerged from underwater, embracing Gu Lengyue and Yao Qiaoqiao, one on each side.

Then he smiled and said to Professor Nan Yirou:

"Professor Nan has finally arrived. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Hearing this, Professor Nan Yirou couldn't help but roll her eyes and said to Gu Lengyue and Yao Qiaoqiao:

"Did you hear that? Your husband has been harboring ill intentions towards me for a long time!"

Gu Lengyue smiled:

"I helped him pursue you, so of course I knew."

Yao Qiaoqiao also laughed.

"I welcome it. I like you as a sister!"

Saying this, Gu Lengyue and Yao Qiaoqiao communicated through their Mental Domain, then together they grabbed Professor Nan Yirou's arms, pulled her between them, and directly pushed her into Lu Zheng's embrace.

Lu Zheng was a helpful person, and of course, he couldn't just watch Professor Nan Yirou fall into the water, so he immediately went to meet her.

After a very soft and elastic collision, their mouths were sealed by the other.

Professor Nan Yirou's eyes suddenly widened.

Just as Lu Zheng thought she was going to push him away, Professor Nan Yirou's two legs directly wrapped around his waist.

Her two arms embraced his neck.

After a full three minutes, Professor Nan Yirou finally released Lu Zheng, panting, then turned and sat in his arms.

She glanced at Gu Lengyue and Yao Qiaoqiao beside her, raised her chin, and said:

"This man is my choice, I'm taking the initiative. You still want to arrange things for me!?"

But the next moment, feeling the changes in Lu Zheng's body, her face flushed, and she was about to leave.

It was too late.

Lu Zheng wrapped his arms around her slender waist, dropped a sentence, and directly used a teleportation talisman to send the two of them to a quiet place.

"I have something urgent to attend to."

[Ding! Successfully sheltered Professor Nan Yirou, obtained one Transcendent Material Card]

Professor Nan was a relatively assertive person.

She liked to take the initiative.

But her stamina was clearly insufficient, and in the end, she could only silently endure.

Lu Zheng gave her two Strengthening Pills to replenish her combat strength, but she quickly succumbed again.

Eventually, she was too tired to even move a finger, lying on Lu Zheng's body, mumbling:

"So this is what it feels like. If I had known, I would have come sooner."

And Lu Zheng, taking advantage of the rest, looked at the newly appeared Transcendent Material Card.

[Item: Returning Spring Pill]

[Type: Transcendent Material Card]

[Effect: Can obtain one Returning Spring Pill indefinitely]

The Returning Spring Pill could provide abundant vitality and mental power, heal injuries, replenish energy, and restore depleted mental power.

There was no limit to the number of uses, but after recovering to full status, taking more had no effect.

Simply put, this pill could only be used for healing and recovery, not for assisting cultivation or boosting combat power.

Seeing that it could also replenish energy,

Lu Zheng decisively took ten pills in one go.

Then he came to a conclusion:

One Returning Spring Pill was enough to allow a Tier 5 ability user to fully recover all energy and mental power depletion in a single breath!

Lu Zheng's physical fitness, due to the restrictions on taking Strengthening Pills, had only just reached Tier 6.

Taking twenty pills would allow him to completely recover from energy depletion and fully replenish his mental power.

He glanced at the beauty lying on him, then directly administered one Returning Spring Pill to her, forcibly restarting her.

"Come on, let's continue playing!"
