Chapter 36: I Await Your Answer, This Is Too Awesome! (Please keep reading)

The next day, after breakfast.

Lu Zheng called Professor Gu into the RV for a private conversation.

“Professor Gu, do you have any plans for the future?”

This question startled Gu Lengyue. She had thought Lu Zheng wanted to ask if she could make a choice.

“What plans can I have now? Just survive first, and if there’s a chance, see my family again.”

Her parents were both researchers, working in a research institute far to the west.

Therefore, from the beginning, she had no intention of trying to rescue her parents.

Because it was impossible.

But as a daughter, she still prayed for her parents' safety.

Hoping to reunite one day.

Lu Zheng continued:

“So you plan to just rely on the relationship between Gu Miantang and me, just idling your life away, waiting for your parents to find you?”

“Don’t you want to gain strength and actively search for your parents?”

“Think carefully about this question. I await your answer.”

After speaking, Lu Zheng didn't wait for Gu Lengyue to give an immediate answer. Instead, he called Bai Zhihui, Yu Zihan, Xiong Jiner, and Emilia, and the four women, to head to the Third Teaching Building.

Yesterday, he obtained two second-tier crystals and fifteen first-tier crystals.

He absorbed both second-tier crystals himself.

His energy limit increased to 60 units, and his maximum spatial volume also reached six cubic decimeters.

Xiong Jiner and Emilia each received two crystals and gained their respective abilities.

Emilia gained a combat ability, Wind Blade.

The Wind Blade's power was considerable, capable of cutting through the Scythe Mantis's defenses.

With Emilia's current energy, she could unleash four Wind Blades in total. If her accuracy was a bit higher, she could single-handedly kill a Scythe Mantis.

However, she lacked combat experience, so he still needed to train her more.

Xiong Jiner, on the other hand, gained a special ability, Life Fluctuation.

Centered on her, she could release an energy wave that could detect the location of life within a certain range, essentially a human radar.

This was definitely something to keep by his side.

Xiong Jiner could currently sense a range of fifty meters. This ability consumed little energy, and the consumed energy could be recovered in ten minutes.

In other words, Xiong Jiner could report the safety status within fifty meters to Lu Zheng once every ten minutes.

Zheng Jingyi and Yu Zihan each absorbed three crystals.

Of the remaining eleven crystals, Bai Zhihui absorbed five.

Her portable space increased to five and a half cubic meters.

This was a considerable amount of space.

He gave her such a significant boost because Lu Zheng planned to transfer all the food from the Comprehensive Building to the Third Teaching Building.

Moving it by hand was too slow; with this portable space, it would be very fast.

However, this space was still not large enough. Today, they would have to continue hunting insects to try and upgrade Bai Zhihui's ability.

The area around the Third Teaching Building had not yet been cleared, so there should be many insects around.

Lu Zheng brought the four women to the Third Teaching Building. Sun Ru immediately excitedly recounted how she had persuaded Wang Cong to surrender.

“Haha, it seems I didn’t choose the wrong vice-manager.”

“Today, I will help you gain an ability.”

Sun Ru immediately said in surprise:

“Thank you, brother-in-law!”

At this moment, Wang Cong walked over and respectfully said:

“Hello, Boss.”

Seeing four beautiful women accompanying Lu Zheng, Wang Cong felt even more certain that he had made the right choice.

The caliber of these four was very high.

There was even one from abroad.

Sometimes, how strong a man's power is can be seen by looking at his women.

That guy Liu Mingyang was still pursuing the campus belle Zhang Ningzhu without success, while this boss already had beauties surrounding him. This was the difference in power!

Lu Zheng looked at Wang Cong with a smile.

He had only learned about abilities when he saw this kid release a fireball.

Liu Mingyang had even tried to use this kid to threaten him into handing over his supplies.

Now, this kid had voluntarily defected to him.

Interesting.

Lu Zheng asked with a smile:

“Wang Cong, how many crystals have you absorbed so far? Do you have any second-tier crystals? The kind produced by the Double-Tailed Scorpion.”

This question made Wang Cong a little embarrassed.

“Including the one that awakened my ability, I’ve absorbed a total of four, all from the bodies of those Scythe Mantiss.”

“No second-tier ones.”

Lu Zheng shook his head.

“You were among the first to gain an ability, and a powerful offensive one at that. Yet you’ve only absorbed four crystals so far. My women have absorbed more than you.”

“It seems that guy Liu Mingyang extorted quite a few crystals from you!”

Hearing this, Wang Cong immediately agreed:

“Yes, that guy Liu Mingyang, relying on his position as President, forcibly took my crystals.”

Lu Zheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

“Don’t worry, I’ll take you to get justice.”

“But today’s mission is to kill insects, so bear with it for now.”

Wang Cong immediately volunteered.

“Boss, I’ll join the fight too. My fireball is very powerful, and I’ll definitely show you my worth.”

Lu Zheng nodded.

“Very good, commendable courage. I appoint you as the captain of the Second Patrol Team, under the command of Chang Ziqian. For now, your team will consist of your current people.”

“Chang Ziqian, call out all the patrol team members and come with me to kill insects.”

Chang Ziqian and Wang Cong each led a team, and with Lu Zheng and his four women, the group numbered over thirty.

This was a very large target.

When people gathered, their aura became stronger, and insects would quickly converge.

Lu Zheng led his people to the chosen open area, drew a circle, and had everyone stand inside it.

He himself seemed to walk on air, stepping into the sky as if strolling through the void.

Xiong Jiner issued a warning.

“They’re coming! Northeast direction, two. Northwest direction, one. All Scythe Mantiss.”

Wang Cong immediately tensed up.

Although Lu Zheng said there would basically be no danger within this circle, they were still facing insects after all.

But when he saw Lu Zheng pull out an assault rifle, he was completely stunned.

He had heard Sun Ru say Lu Zheng had a gun before, but he thought it was just a pistol. He never expected it to be such a powerful assault rifle!

This thing had a range of two to three hundred meters. At such a long distance, could insects even get close?

Wang Cong was convinced that if it weren't for the black mist obstructing their vision, Lu Zheng could eliminate all the insects beyond fifty meters with that gun alone, without any danger whatsoever.

“Da da da!”

Once they reached a certain distance, Lu Zheng began to spray bullets.

The three Scythe Mantiss fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Xiong Jiner continued to report life fluctuations, while Lu Zheng ordered Wang Cong and his team to dig for crystals.

Attracted by the sound and human scent, the insects quickly gathered, and Lu Zheng led his people in a massacre of the insects.

He found opportunities to leave one or two Scythe Mantiss for Emilia and Yu Zihan to hone their combat skills.

In one morning, they killed six Double-Tailed Scorpions and thirty-eight Scythe Mantiss, a huge harvest.

They returned to the Third Teaching Building at noon, eating lunch while distributing rewards.

Chang Ziqian, Sun Ru, and Wang Cong each received three first-tier crystals.

Emilia, Xiong Jiner, and Yu Zihan each received ten.

The remaining two first-tier crystals went to Bai Zhihui, along with one second-tier crystal to enhance her ability.

The other second-tier crystals were naturally all absorbed by Lu Zheng himself!

“Boss, shall we continue this afternoon?”

Wang Cong asked excitedly.

He had discovered that following Lu Zheng meant no danger at all; it was purely about leveling up by killing monsters. This was too awesome!
