580: Xiaonai's tricks

Chapter 579: Xiao Nai's Mischievous Idea

In the early morning, Dick's consciousness dissipated from Wuluan Ancient City and slowly woke up from the large bed inside the military tent.

In his arms, Mina's pretty face was flushed, and she was sleeping with a look of happiness.

Based on the surrounding scent and humidity, as well as the degree of contraction of Mina's various muscles, Dick accurately judged that the battle had just ended not long ago.

On the sofa beside the bed, Yang Tao sat curled up with her hands around her knees, expressionless. She had clearly witnessed the entire battle.

Dick narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly noticing that Yang Tao's nightgown was a bit messy, and combining that with the unnatural blush on her face...

"Did you participate in the battle last night?"

"No."

"Then why did you..."

"No means no."

Looking at Yang Tao's warning gaze, Dick pouted and didn't ask any more questions.

Rich experience told Dick that Yang Tao should not have participated in the battle last night. She was conducting a military exercise on her own while watching the battle.

He didn't expect that as a Lord, she would actually do such a thing. Dick was quite enlightened.

While he was thinking, a pillow suddenly flew over. Dick caught it with his backhand and frowned at Yang Tao.

"I'm hungry!"

Dick was a bit speechless. While getting dressed, he said casually, "There are ingredients in the kitchen, make it yourself."

"I can't cook."

"Then go to the military camp's cafeteria..."

"I don't like noise."

"Then go to Manbo City next door..."

"I don't like trouble."

Then don't eat, starve yourself to death!

Although Dick really wanted to say that, he ultimately held back, as he still needed to proceed with the strategy.

Ten minutes later, Dick took Yang Tao to Isurna's military tent and waited to eat at the dining table with Xiao Nai.

After many days of sparring and sleeping together, Xiao Nai's Extremely Yin Common Luck Body had absorbed a huge amount of luck, reaching an unprecedented level of fullness.

In daily life, Xiao Nai's luck had visibly improved, to the point where she could trip over gold nuggets while walking on the road.

Dick glanced at the upper right corner of his vision. The temporary storage time for the reward of The Last Confession mission was running out.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Blessing selection would take place no later than tomorrow night.

At that time, Dick would lightly snap his fingers and plunder all the luck stored in Xiao Nai's body to maximize the Blessings he wanted.

After repeated consideration these past few days, Dick already had a clear idea of his current needs.

Needless to say, the colored System VIP was definitely the top priority!

This Blessing could completely refresh the entire System and comprehensively enhance the strength of all Blessings. Dick had only experienced it once and had completely fallen in love with it.

In addition, the second priority was some "Prophecy-type", "Navigation-type", and "Sensing-type" Blessings.

After all, at this stage of the World Task, child of prophecy, Dick currently had no specific direction and urgently needed some inspiration.

The System only said that the truth was in Suweier Magic Academy, but it didn't say how to find it specifically.

Should he dig three feet deep, or solve a mystery?

Is the starting point a person, or an event?

Is the investigation itself safe, is there any danger?

Dick knew nothing at all, completely groping his way across the river.

He knew clearly that he could succeed as long as he reached the other side, but he didn't know the width or depth of the river, and even the direction was unknown.

As for the third priority Blessings, Dick planned to get some "Gambling-type" Blessings that could create miracles.

After all, with Isurna on one side and Xiao Nai on the other, plus Dick's own excellent luck, he was 100% compatible with gambling Blessings.

And the subsequent priorities were some "Growth Limit-type", "Life-saving Trump Card-type", and "Instant Combat Strength-type" Blessings.

While thinking, Dick noticed that Xiao Nai had been "exchanging glances" with Yang Tao. The two were clearly communicating through telepathy.

Out of curiosity, Dick quietly used Soul Control, switched his consciousness to Xiao Nai, and eavesdropped on the two girls' telepathic conversation.

"Yang Tao Tao, you're just too timid. Dick is lying in bed not moving, you can't even seize such a good opportunity..."

"I'm sorry, Master Xiao Nai, I've disappointed you!"

"After all, it's your first time, it's understandable. Yang Tao Tao, you have to cheer up."

"Master Xiao Nai, weren't you scared your first time?"

"Hmph, scared? What a joke. I was the one who pushed Dick down back then. He was so weak under me, he almost cried..."

Listening to Xiao Nai's bragging, which was completely contrary to the truth, Dick's mouth twitched wildly. Just as he was about to reprimand her, she suddenly said something astonishing.

"Yang Tao Tao, don't worry, I, Nai, have another brilliant idea that will allow you to easily succeed!"

"A brilliant... idea?"

"It's like this, do you know Anberer'er? She's the female ghost next to Dick. You can let her possess you, and then... hehehe~"

Dick raised an eyebrow, and the reprimand he was about to say was swallowed back, because he actually thought Xiao Nai's idea was quite good.

The reason Yang Tao had a stress reaction wasn't a physical problem, but a mental problem.

And if Anberer'er controlled her body, Yang Tao's consciousness would just be "watching a live broadcast". This way, she wouldn't have a stress reaction anymore!

Although this was a temporary solution, as the number of times increased, Yang Tao would gradually adapt and eventually be able to participate herself.

Looking at Xiao Nai, who was still trying to persuade Yang Tao, Dick's eyes showed appreciation, and he nodded slightly.

He had to admit, sometimes Xiao Nai's mischievous ideas were quite useful and could break the deadlock.

"Eat while it's hot."

Isurna brought four bowls of stewed noodles. While untying her apron, she smiled and said, "Dick, I'll take you around Suweier Academy later. It's my alma mater."

From the age of seven, Isurna attended Suweier Magic Academy until she graduated at 19.

Since the Academy was a fully enclosed boarding school, Isurna could only go home during winter and summer vacations during the twelve years she attended school.

Because of this, she was very familiar with Suweier Magic Academy, and after learning that Dick was enrolling, she immediately volunteered to be his guide.

Having been reborn a hundred times, Dick had never attended Suweier Magic Academy, only knowing some basic information.

After all, every time he was reborn, Isurna had already graduated three years ago, so Dick didn't need to go to school anymore.

If there were no interests involved, Dick wouldn't want to touch troublesome things like going to school.

But for Isurna, Suweier Magic Academy was her second home, or to be precise, her second hometown!

Because the Academy was very large, located next to the Royal Capital, and after years of expansion, it had become a city of considerable size!

Commercial streets, dueling arenas, parks... it had almost everything inside, even Courtesan Houses and gambling dens, and they were all operated by the Academy itself.

Of course, the consumption level of the Academy was very high, almost several times that of Suweier Imperial Capital. There were basically no poor people who came here to study.

However, if you were truly exceptionally talented, you could be exempted from all tuition and miscellaneous fees, and the Academy would also provide various "work-study" options.

It is rumored that you can live your entire life within Suweier Magic Academy, as there are even cemeteries there...
