199: Chapter 200 With the portal, I can go wherever I want.
In the Underground City, inside an abandoned hotel building, Yun Zhuo was checking the room for surveillance while Teacher Su took out a portable corrosion crystal stove to prepare a meal.
“Xiao Zhuo, what would you like to eat tonight?”
“Don't bother cooking.”
“You didn't eat anything at noon; aren't you hungry tonight?”
“I'm hungry, but you carried me on your back all day. It breaks my heart to see you having to cook for me now.”
Teacher Su smiled slightly. “Naughty. Hurry up and tell me what you want to eat?”
“Have you never thought about letting someone else do the cooking so we can just eat a ready-made meal?”
“No way, you're even thinking of robbing people for that? Besides, most of the other students brought dry rations. Even if you rob them, it definitely won't taste good. It's better to make it ourselves.”
“I guarantee it will be freshly made and absolutely delicious in every way.”
“Hmm?” Teacher Su looked at Yun Zhuo suspiciously, then suddenly thought of something. “You're not thinking of calling that woman Di Zhenzhen over to cook, are you?”
“Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, there's not a chance!”
“You must eat mine; you can only eat mine.”
“My wife is so smart. As expected, I can't hide anything from you.”
“Hmph, as long as you know.”
“Then let's go home and cook.”
“Go home? Aren't you taking the exam anymore?”
“I am, but that doesn't stop us from going home.”
“Look at this place, it's covered in dust. Cooking is inconvenient, sleeping is inconvenient, and we'd have to be on guard against Chen Qi's midnight sneak attacks. We definitely won't sleep well. It's better to go home first and come back tomorrow.”
As he spoke, Yun Zhuo opened the Space Gate.
Now, with the increase in his psionic energy base, whether it was the Space Gate, Time Manipulation, or Gravity Manipulation, he could use them all with ease.
Through the Space Gate, Teacher Su saw that the other side was their previous home in Nun Village.
“Why didn't I think of that?”
“Let's go.”
“Won't we be discovered like this?”
“No, I've checked the surroundings. There's no surveillance here.”
As soon as they returned home, Teacher Su lay down on the sofa and stretched comfortably. “Mm, home is still the most comfortable.”
“Go take a shower first.”
Teacher Su looked at him with a half-smile. “What are you trying to do, kid?”
“What else could I be doing? Feel your own hair. Isn't it rough?”
Teacher Su touched her hair; it really was a bit rough, feeling as if sweat had glued the dust to it.
“Then I'll go shower first.” As she spoke, she suddenly turned back to stare at Yun Zhuo. “Are you planning to go find Di Zhenzhen while I'm showering?”
“I do need to head out for a bit, but I won't necessarily see Sister Zhenzhen. You forgot that tomorrow is the day Li Jianrong comes to pick up the goods. I have to deliver the runes and crystals to Sister Jingjing.”
“No way. Shower first. If you're going, we'll go together later.”
“Why bother?”
“Haven't you always wanted to shower with me? Today, I'll grant your wish.”
“Now, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think carefully.”
It's true, if you didn't stop me, I would have already entered the city after passing this village.
“Let's go, what are you still thinking about?” Teacher Su grabbed his arm and dragged him toward the bathroom.
“Um, Teacher Su, in your database, do you have the bubble baths from Jianmu City?”
“Yes. Today, I'll be your Ultimate Bubble Princess. If you dare mention going out again, I'm really going to be Life Qi.”
...
Di Zhenzhen sat alone under the eaves, lost in thought.
Because when Yun Zhuo left yesterday, he told her he might summon them during the exam, she hadn't gone anywhere today.
But after waiting all day, she still hadn't received Yun Zhuo's summons.
“Sister Zhenzhen.”
Jiang Jingjing appeared outside the courtyard gate.
“Why are you here?”
“Thinking about that brat Yun Zhuo again?”
“I'm just thinking about things.” Di Zhenzhen subconsciously avoided her gaze.
Jiang Jingjing smiled slightly, pushed open the courtyard gate, walked in, and sat down beside her.
“Didn't you say Brother-in-law would summon us today? It's almost dark, why hasn't there been any movement?”
Di Zhenzhen gave her a look. “He said it was possible, so we should be prepared and not be flustered when the time comes.”
“Actually, I miss Brother-in-law a bit. How can his classmates be so weak that they don't even have the strength to force him to summon a War Princess?”
“Yeah,” Di Zhenzhen responded subconsciously, then hurriedly added, “Isn't that a good thing?”
Jiang Jingjing curled her lips. “By the way, I've already picked out the hundred sisters you asked me to choose yesterday. When are you going to tell that kid?”
Just then, Nana suddenly pushed open the courtyard gate and ran in.
The two were startled. “What happened?”
Nana pointed toward Yun Zhuo's house, swallowing hard as she said, “It looks like a thief broke into that kid Yun Zhuo's house.”
How could a thief enter the village? Di Zhenzhen was suddenly stunned. “He's back?”
“But didn't you say Brother-in-law was taking an exam today?”
“Then who could it be?”
“No matter who it is, let's go check it out first. We can't actually let a thief in.”
When the three arrived at Yun Zhuo's house, they indeed saw white steam drifting out from a room on the second floor.
The courtyard gate was unlocked, but the house door was locked. Di Zhenzhen knocked and called out “Xiao Zhuo” several times, but no one answered.
Fortunately, she had a spare key.
She opened the door; the inside didn't look like anyone had been there.
But looking from the outside, steam was coming from a room on the second floor. Could there be a problem with the appliances?
To prevent a short circuit from starting a fire, the three went to Teacher Su's bedroom on the second floor based on the location they had seen from outside.
The steam should be drifting out from the bathroom in the bedroom.
But as soon as the three saw the frosted glass door of the bathroom, they all left sheepishly.
Walking on the road outside, the three were blushing, and no one spoke.
Suddenly Jiang Jingjing said, “Don't you think that just now looked like a Two-Dot?”
“Two-Dot?”
“Yeah, the Two-Dot in Mahjong. It looked like it, right?”
Nana thought about it and was amused. “If it were me, it would definitely be two One-Dots.”
“Just you?”
“What's wrong? Don't I have the assets?”
“In front of Sister Zhenzhen, you're at most a slightly larger Two-Dot.”
Sister Zhenzhen heard this. “You dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“No, isn't Xiao Zhuo taking an exam today? Why would he be at home?” Nana looked puzzled.
Sister Zhenzhen smiled and said, “He has the Space Gate, did you forget?”
“Then who is the other person?”
“Is there even a need to ask? It must be the Su Family's Young Miss.” Jiang Jingjing curled her lips.
“Couldn't it be Number Eighteen?”
“She's a teacher and she's participating in the exam? Wouldn't that be cheating?”
“Alright, alright. Xiao Zhuo definitely won't be summoning us today. I'm going to find Lingling. She said yesterday she was making dumplings; I'll see if she's finished wrapping them.”
“Is Lingling making dumplings today? I'll go with you.”
“Sister Zhenzhen, are you coming?”
Di Zhenzhen shook her head. “You guys go ahead.”
...
As two thousand students flooded into the Underground City, the silent city finally had some sounds of voices and footsteps, gaining a bit of long-lost vitality.
The incident of Yun Zhuo blocking the door didn't happen, which allowed Du Mingxing and the others to breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, feeling as though they had been played by Yun Zhuo.
Because they had waited for over a thousand people to gather before they dared to head toward the second floor.
As a result, they didn't even make it into the top five hundred and didn't receive any bonus points.
But fortunately, there was still a chance. They could still overtake the others tomorrow when hunting for peach crystals.
When he found the base where Chen Qi was located, Du Mingxing's eyes lit up; he finally saw the Auntie Pu he had been longing for.
But when he saw the two Sister Cuis, a wave of anger surged in his heart again.
