Chapter 48 You wouldn't want your brother to be unable to rent anything, would you?

A wild surge of emotions rose in Su Ze's heart.

【Burst】!

One hour per day, all attributes doubled!

These four words were more shocking than any flowery language!

What did this mean?

His personal attributes, with the addition of Jiang Yuwan's Bond Effect, had already reached 8 points for all attributes and a Comprehensive Combat Power of 48 points.

Once 【Burst】 was triggered, his Comprehensive Combat Power would soar directly to a terrifying 96 points!

96 points!

What kind of concept was this?

The data was more than twice that of an average adult male!

This wasn't a simple addition;

one must know that the difference in basic combat power between an average male and female was only 8 points, but the difference in fighting capability was worlds apart!

This was no longer a simple attribute boost; it was a trump card that could turn the tide and make a desperate comeback in a critical moment!

And the duration was a full hour!

Su Ze's breathing became slightly rapid because of this.

This Qiao Yunge, he had to have her!

He had sent her a private message before, but it had vanished without a trace; he didn't expect her to deliver herself to his doorstep.

Su Ze suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his gaze fell upon that valiant and heroic figure.

Qiao Yunge didn't notice Su Ze; she was talking to several boys beside her.

One of the boys, who looked somewhat like her, should be her younger brother.

"Yun Feng, you guys go over and line up. Try to rent three decent weapons."

Qiao Yunge's voice was crisp, carrying a sense of decisiveness developed from years of sports and exercise.

"Sis, aren't you coming with us?" The boy named Qiao Yunfeng asked with some confusion.

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Qiao Yunge's face. She lowered her voice and spoke with some frustration.

"I won't be going over... When that Su Ze said he was recruiting goddesses in the channel before, I... I scolded him."

"Huh?" Qiao Yunfeng and the others were stunned.

"How was I supposed to know he had so many supplies back then!"

Qiao Yunge scratched her hair irritably. "Didn't he post 'Recruiting goddesses, don't come if you're not beautiful' back then?"

"I... I called him a stupid and wicked off-putting man in the channel..."

"Sis, you..." Qiao Yunfeng gave a bitter smile. "What if he saw it and holds a grudge?"

"That's why I'm letting you guys go!" Qiao Yunge glared at him.

"He doesn't know you. You guys go line up and rent three decent weapons. Don't say you're my brother. I'll wait for you here."

"Understood, Sis. We'll head over then. You wait for us here."

After saying that, Qiao Yunfeng led several companions and obediently walked toward the end of the long queue.

Qiao Yunge stood in place with her arms crossed, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

When she saw the sight of the fourth-floor corridor without a single zombie, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart.

This Su Ze,

clearing an entire corridor of zombies and possessing a large amount of supplies...

How on earth did he do it?

Just then, she felt a gaze fall upon her.

She turned her head alertly and met a man's eyes.

Qiao Yunge raised an eyebrow. She was naturally bright and generous, and was used to the attention of men,

but the gaze of the person before her made her feel a strange sense of discomfort.

It wasn't simple admiration, but more like... a hunter scrutinizing his prey.

She met Su Ze's gaze without hesitation and spoke up proactively, her voice clear and carrying a hint of wariness: "What is it?"

Su Ze slowly took two steps toward her, a faint, half-smile playing on his face.

"Nothing, just introducing myself..."

He stopped in front of Qiao Yunge and spoke softly in a playful tone, "I am that... stupid and wicked off-putting man."

Qiao Yunge's mind went 'buzz,' and her whole body froze.

An uncontrollable blush instantly surged onto her bright and elegant face, spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears.

Embarrassment, shame, and a hint of panic from being caught on the spot left her momentarily unsure of how to react.

She never imagined that the private conversation she just had with her brother would be heard so clearly by the man himself!

Seeing her colorful expression, the curve of Su Ze's lips widened.

"I heard what you said just now."

Qiao Yunge took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the embarrassment in her heart. After all, she was the goddess of the Physical Education Department, and her mental fortitude far exceeded that of ordinary people.

She feigned calmness, lifting her chin to meet Su Ze's teasing gaze.

"If you heard it, you heard it. You're a grown man; surely you won't hold it against a woman like me?"

Her words were very skillful, both admitting to it and subtly placing Su Ze on a pedestal, hoping to use moral kidnapping to brush the matter aside.

Unfortunately, she had met Su Ze.

"That's not for certain."

Su Ze spoke lazily, his gaze drifting past her toward Qiao Yunfeng and the others who were waiting anxiously in the queue.

"After all, I am a very petty person."

He added slowly, "Senior, you wouldn't want your brother and the others to line up for so long only to end up being unable to rent anything, right?"

Qiao Yunge's expression changed instantly.

She snapped her eyes toward Su Ze, her gaze filled with disbelief.

This man... was actually threatening her?!

"You!"

"What about me?" Su Ze looked innocent. "These things are mine. I'll rent them to whoever I want. That's reasonable, isn't it?"

Qiao Yunge's chest heaved violently with anger, but she couldn't find a single word to refute him.

That's right, the items were his, and he set the rules.

He had every right to refuse to rent weapons to anyone!

Looking at the punchable smirk on this man's face, Qiao Yunge's teeth itched with hatred.

She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Don't push it! At worst, I won't let them rent! I'll call other friends over. I don't believe you know all of my friends!"

"Oh?" Su Ze raised an eyebrow. Instead of getting angry, he laughed teasingly. "You actually reminded me."

"I remember, your Dormitory seems to be... Room 100 on the 10th floor, right?"

"When you were scolding me before, I made a note of it~"

The color drained completely from Qiao Yunge's face.

A chill rushed from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

He... he even remembered her Dormitory number?!

She stared fixedly at Su Ze, her voice trembling slightly: "What... what do you want to do?!"

"I don't want to do anything." Su Ze shrugged. "I just have a good idea that I'd like you to agree to..."

"Otherwise, I might just have to pay a visit to your Dormitory~"

"You..." Qiao Yunge gritted her teeth. "Tell me, what is this 'good idea'?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Qiao Yunge's face, which looked even more enchanting due to her anger, and slowly uttered the second half of his sentence.

"Did you forget? I'm recruiting goddesses, and I don't take them if they aren't beautiful."

"Now, in my Dormitory 404, there's one last tenant spot left..."
