76: A table full of beauties, a door to a supernatural space! (Please read on)

On the top floor of the Jinge Building, over twenty beauties were seated around a long table.

There were sweet school beauties, such as Gu Miantang, Yu Zihan, Tian Wei, Zheng Jingyi, Xiong Jiner, and Zhang Ningzhu.

There were also mature beauties, such as Emilia, Bai Zhihui, Pang Ruoyu, and Tang Cailin.

There were cold and noble ladies, such as Gu Lengyue and Teng Qiuyan.

There were even screen beauties, such as Shi Xueqi and Tao Yingshi.

Besides them, the flight attendant twins Tantai Huanyan and Tantai Xiaoyu, the foodie beauty Yan Chenchen, the dancers Ding Nannan and Wen Wanqing, and the good girl Qiao Sijia each had their own unique characteristics.

But Lu Zheng felt it wasn't enough.

The number of Transcendent Material Cards was too small.

With such a large population, it was impossible for there to be only a few Transcendent Material Cards.

He was currently limited to Canglan City and Kuosen City, and the resources he could find were too few, so he needed to venture out.

This was what he was going to talk about today.

He cleared his throat twice and spoke:

“I'm announcing something: I plan to leave Canglan City to see other places.”

“With Teleportation Talismans, traveling back and forth is very convenient. A thousand kilometers is only a hundred Teleportation Talismans; used continuously, you can arrive in fifteen minutes.”

“However, since I'm going out, I definitely won't come back often, at least not for now.”

“So, I'm asking you: do you want to stay here and live a leisurely life, or come out and travel with me?”

“Jingyi, Jiner, and Zhihui, the three of you need to come along. Others can freely choose whether to stay or follow.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chenchen raised her hand and said:

“Me! I want to follow you!”

Lu Zheng's mouth twitched as he guessed:

“Do you want to follow me just to eat delicious food?”

Yan Chenchen's face turned red, and she nodded.

“Yes! Only by following you can I eat delicious food!”

To a foodie, Lu Zheng's ability to conjure delicious food at will was simply too tempting; she had absolutely no resistance.

Lu Zheng smiled and said:

“Okay, then you come along.”

“What about the others?”

Tantai Huanyan and Tantai Xiaoyu looked at each other and then said together:

“We're coming too.”

“It's only safest by Hubby's side.”

These words resonated with many people.

Even if Teleportation Talismans were very effective, they still took time, after all.

Only by staying by Lu Zheng's side could they receive the best protection.

The blonde beauty Emilia followed up:

“I can't be apart from Hubby! I want to fight alongside you, and I want to become strong too.”

This was also the sentiment of some others. After mastering their abilities, they also wanted to become stronger, and only by following Lu Zheng could they obtain crystals without danger.

In the end, almost all of them chose to follow Lu Zheng.

Even the big star Shi Xueqi wanted to stay by Lu Zheng's side.

She wanted to take the opportunity to have Lu Zheng help her find her family.

Several other girls had the same thought.

Lu Zheng agreed to all of them.

This was a good thing.

With their families around, they would only become more dependent on him, because only he could bring them safety.

Gu Lengyue spoke up:

“I'll stay behind. Someone has to look after the home. I'll take charge of the overall situation.”

Teng Qiuyan followed:

“I'll stay too. I'll help Sister Gu.”

Qiao Sijia raised her hand.

“I... I'll stay too. I don't want to go out.”

Ultimately, the three of them chose to stay and guard the place.

Lu Zheng directly gave Teng Qiuyan and Qiao Sijia a large number of crystals, letting them advance their abilities to the third rank.

This way, they would have a certain level of self-protection.

Combined with some Teleportation Talismans, they basically wouldn't encounter any danger.

As for the rest of the women, those without abilities were also given crystals to gain abilities and advance to the second rank.

Lu Zheng planned to let them practice using their abilities when they stopped to rest on the way. Once they had some combat power, he wouldn't need to watch over them every single moment.

Most of them obtained offensive skills like Wind Blade or Fireball, but three obtained special abilities.

The sisters Tantai Huanyan and Tantai Xiaoyu gained the ability of Telepathy.

They could communicate over long distances with people they wanted to talk to using Mental Energy. When together, they could even strengthen this ability.

By communicating with two people simultaneously, they could act as a relay station for long-distance communication.

Very convenient!

The ability Shi Xueqi obtained was Space Gate.

Every time she increased a rank, she could create a Space Gate.

A Space Gate could be fixed in any space, while she could create a temporary Space Gate at any time.

Through a temporary Space Gate, one could go to any fixed Space Gate!

The downside was the small number of Space Gates, and she could only leave a gate where she had already been; the restrictions were significant.

But it was understandable.

This ability was too powerful; the energy of a first-rank ability user was essentially unable to support the opening of a Space Gate.

Being able to use it at all was already very powerful.

The appearance of this ability completely eliminated everyone's dilemma of whether to follow Lu Zheng out or stay at home.

After Lu Zheng helped Shi Xueqi advance to the third rank, she left a Space Gate on the top floor of the Jinge Building.

If they wanted to return, they just had to open a gate and they'd be back in a second.

This was great.

After all, even with a luxury RV, the vehicle couldn't hold many people.

Lu Zheng loved seeing his family eating together at one table. Looking at the twenty-plus beauties, the food even tasted better.

With this Space Gate, they could return to the Jinge Building to rest at night.

Now, the women who originally felt they would lack Lu Zheng's company if they stayed behind completely relaxed.

Everyone re-discussed the personnel arrangements.

Lu Zheng's regular accompanying group consisted of Xiong Jiner, Zheng Jingyi, Shi Xueqi, and Bai Zhihui.

The others would follow a shift schedule every half-day, where two people would take turns accompanying Lu Zheng in the vehicle to tour various places.

A luxury RV seating seven people was just right.

This way, only one vehicle was needed, and the speed would be much faster.

Once things were settled, the next morning, Lu Zheng informed Chang Ziqian and the others of his plan to leave, including, of course, the existence of the Space Gate.

Upon learning that Lu Zheng only needed a second to return, everyone stopped worrying about it.

They continued their work step-by-step, completing the control over the existing territory.

The small goal for the first stage was to complete total control over the area within the scope of the Jinge Building, Canglan University, and Zhongyang Hospital.

Making it a Level 2 Safe Zone.

Lu Zheng called the range of the three absolutely safe strongholds the Level 1 Safe Zone, while the expansion range of the strongholds was called the Level 2 Safe Zone.

A Level 2 Safe Zone meant there would still be insects appearing, but they would be under control.

After making the arrangements, Lu Zheng had Xiong Jiner drive, and the group set off for their first destination.

The first target hadn't left Canglan City yet. Previously, a female college student named Wang Yue had shown Lu Zheng a photo of her older cousin, Jiang Xiangtong.

That was also a Basic Material Card.

Since he knew about it, he felt like he'd be missing out if he didn't go check it out.

Since it was on the way anyway, he also planned to go to the zoo to see if there were any suitable targets to control.

The Hongfang Building where Jiang Xiangtong was located was right next to the zoo.

Before long, the RV stopped at the foot of the Hongfang Building.

Thanks for your support!
