98: Chapter 98: My older sister caught me red-handed while I was checking homework.

Yun Zhuo slipped his feet into his slippers while glancing at the high heels in the shoe cabinet.

"You two really are sisters; even your taste in shoes is the same. I remember you have a pair exactly like these ones with the crushed diamonds, right?"

"Yeah, but my sister buys them and never wears them, so now they're all mine to enjoy."

"She buys them but never wears them?"

"Yeah, haven't you noticed? She only wears low heels, and it's always the same style. Someone who didn't know better would think she only owns one pair of shoes."

"Then what about these?"

"I guess she has a hoarding habit."

"Is it possible that she's actually a closet pervert?"

"You're the closet pervert! My sister isn't that kind of person."

As she spoke, she pulled Yun Zhuo's hand and walked toward the house. "By the way, why did it take you so long to come back?"

"If I said the school was too big and I got lost, would you believe me?"

Teacher Su smiled slightly. "I don't believe that for a second. You must have been too mesmerized by the seniors' legs. How was it? Did you see anyone you liked?"

"Are you trying to play matchmaker for me?"

"In your dreams. I'm asking if you saw any War Princess you liked. After forming a contract, our leveling speed could be faster.

I heard from the delivery guy earlier that those Recommended Enrollment Students who arrived before us are already level twenty-five.

Some of them have already reached a Bottleneck and have started taking on missions to earn academic credits."

"Delivery guy?"

"Yeah, buying things in Phoenix City is much more convenient than in Dawn City.

You can order whatever you want directly on the wristband app, and someone will deliver it to your door."

After finishing, seeing that Yun Zhuo didn't seem interested in this novel way of shopping, she added, "Aren't you going to ask me when the leveling Bottleneck happens?"

"Have we encountered it?" Yun Zhuo asked.

"Doesn't look like it."

"Then that's that."

As soon as Yun Zhuo sat down on the living room sofa, Teacher Su naturally snuggled up to him.

Without needing to force a conversation, just leaning in his arms made her feel incredibly at ease.

Before she knew it, her hands started wandering over Yun Zhuo. Although she knew this kid would definitely tease her, her hands just wouldn't listen to her.

A moment later.

"Xiao Zhuo?"

"What is it?" Yun Zhuo looked down at Teacher Su.

Teacher Su seized the chance to tilt her head up and kiss him. "Why do you think Teacher likes you so much?"

Yun Zhuo laughed. "What's wrong? Do you want to check my homework again?"

Teacher Su bit her lower lip and nodded slyly.

"Don't mess around, your sister is coming back soon."

"How do you know?"

"Well, don't you look at the time?"

"If she hasn't returned by now, she's probably working overtime tonight. Come on, let's go."

As she spoke, she stood up and pulled his hands, trying to drag him up.

"Stop, can't you hold back a little? Your sister really is coming back."

Unable to pull him up, Teacher Su simply sat on his lap. "Hmph, you forced me."

As she spoke, she flipped her long hair back, placed her hands on the collar of her bathrobe, and bit her supple lower lip, looking at Yun Zhuo seductively.

"What are you doing?"

Teacher Su smiled slightly, pulled her bathrobe down with both hands, and said triumphantly, "I don't believe you're heartless. You're not tempted even like this?"

"No, you..."

Just as Yun Zhuo grabbed the bathrobe to cover her, the villa door opened, and Big Teacher Su walked in.

She was just about to bow her head to change her shoes when she saw the two of them on the living room sofa. "What are you two doing?"

Teacher Su jumped in fright and immediately covered herself with the bathrobe.

"Sister, why are you back?"

Her face turned bright red. She hurriedly jumped off, sat down next to Yun Zhuo, and scratched her hair to hide her embarrassment.

"If I didn't come back, where else would I go? What were you two doing just now?"

"We were just... just..."

Yun Zhuo held back his laughter on the side. I told you your sister would come back, but you didn't believe me. Now let's see how you make up an excuse.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Big Teacher Su looked at the door in confusion.

Teacher Su quickly stood up from the sofa. "Ah, it must be the things I ordered."

As she spoke, she rushed off to open the door, then returned holding a silver box.

Big Teacher Su looked at the box in her hands suspiciously. "What did you buy?"

"runes and crystals."

"runes? Crystals?"

"Yeah, can you believe you can actually buy these on the Treasure Hunter app?"

As she spoke, she placed the box on the table and unlocked it with her fingerprint. Big Teacher Su leaned in as well.

Seeing that it was full of crystal fragments and rune fragments, she immediately said crossly, "Do you have too much money to spend? Why buy this junk?"

"Junk?" Teacher Su smiled triumphantly. "These aren't junk, they're all treasures."

"They are so junk. Do you know that these kinds of runes and crystals are sold by the pound on the street in front of the school?"

"Yeah, that's exactly how I bought them."

As she spoke, she reached out and rummaged through the runes and crystals in the box, smiling. "I didn't expect five pounds of runes and crystals to be this much."

"Xiao Zhuo, look, five pounds of runes and crystals, there are fifty or sixty pieces here."

Big Teacher Su added, "They're all fragments."

Yun Zhuo rummaged through the runes and crystals in the box, looked at them, and asked, "How much did these cost?"

"Less than one hundred thousand."

"Less than one hundred thousand? So cheap! It seems we won't have to worry about running out of runes and crystals in the future."

Big Teacher Su was stunned. These fragments that everyone else considered junk—why did they look like they had found treasure?

How on earth did they survive in Dawn City all these years?

"Xiao Zhuo, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and synthesize them all. If it's not enough, I'll buy more."

Yun Zhuo picked up the box and was about to head back to his room when Big Teacher Su called out, "Synthesize? With that money, why don't you just buy Advanced runes and crystals directly?"

Teacher Su smiled. "Of course, that's not cost-effective. Xiao Zhuo's money didn't come from the wind; we have to spend every cent where it counts."

"Since you know Xiao Zhuo's money didn't come from the wind, you should be buying Advanced crystals directly. Take level three crystals for example; their synthesis cost is at least three to five times their selling price. And if you're unlucky, you won't be able to synthesize them no matter how much money you spend."

"Sister, you don't know this, but whether it's synthesizing crystals or runes, Xiao Zhuo has never failed. No point in arguing, Xiao Zhuo, give our sister a real eye-opener."

"For this, I need a quieter environment."

The System was his biggest trump card; it was better the fewer people knew about it.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the two Teacher Sus; it was mainly because in this world, there were too many ways to force someone to reveal secrets. Sometimes, even without the person knowing, they would spill all their secrets.

In the end, Yun Zhuo carried the box back to his room.

Seeing Yun Zhuo close the bedroom door, Big Teacher Su said to Teacher Su, "Come with me."

"What for?" Teacher Su looked at her hesitantly. She's not going to keep asking me what we were doing just now, is she?

Is she not even a little curious about Xiao Zhuo's ability to synthesize with 100% success? Why is she still hung up on that?

"Cooking. Your cooking is better than mine, I'll help you."

Teacher Su immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "So treating us to a big meal just meant cooking at home?"

"Isn't that better? You spend money outside and still don't get full. Besides, it's been a long time since I cooked with you."

"Do you know how to cook?"

"I've been learning to cook for myself lately, but I don't have your talent."

"Pfft, think about it. I've been in a girls' school since I was little; how many years do you think I spent learning to cook?"

"You've suffered all these years."

Because Teacher Su's talent wasn't good from a young age, her value to the Family was solely for political marriage with other Families.

So, her parents sent her to a girls' school to be trained as an Advanced housewife.

Teacher Su smiled slightly. "It's okay, it's all in the past. Didn't you want to help me? Let's go."

"Um, did Xiao Zhuo say anything to you when he got back?"
