Chapter 209: What do you need me for? Why did you take so long to come? (Please keep reading)

When Cao Mengjie finished cleaning and gathered her courage to come out, she found that Lu Zheng wasn't the only one waiting for her; her sister, already in her pajamas, was there too.

As she hesitated shyly, Lu Zheng simply picked her up.

Cao Mengying obediently followed behind.

Ding! Successfully sheltered Cao Mengjie, obtained one Supernatural Material Card.

Ding! Successfully sheltered Cao Mengying, obtained one Basic Material Card.

Lu Zheng hadn't drawn a Basic Material Card in a long time, and he took a look, finding it quite good.

Item: Rice, Flour, Grain, and Oil Shopping Gift Package

Type: Basic Material Card

Effect: Can infinitely obtain one Rice, Flour, Grain, and Oil Shopping Gift Package.

This gift package included many items.

Rice, including processed rice such as regular rice, millet, glutinous millet, and other grains.

Flour, including wheat flour, corn flour, buckwheat flour, and other ground grain flours.

Grains, including raw grains like paddy rice, wheat, corn, sorghum, millet, barley, buckwheat, soybeans, adzuki beans, mung beans, broad beans, kidney beans, etc.; and finished grains like eight-treasure rice mixes, mixed coarse grains, etc.

Oil, such as peanut oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn germ oil, palm oil, olive oil, salad oil, blended oil, etc., and also animal fats like lard and beef tallow.

Each item weighed one hundred catties.

And since this was an infinite material card, for Lu Zheng, it meant that every item was limitless.

Previously, the basic infinite material cards Lu Zheng had drawn were for cooked food, prepared items; the last time, seeds appeared, and now he received various staple food ingredients.

This was naturally a good thing.

Those cooked foods were difficult to preserve and transport, and unless Lu Zheng used a Sealing Card to portion them out individually, he couldn't directly distribute materials to his subordinates.

But these grains were very easy to manage.

He only needed to place the items in one location, then let his subordinates bring people to transport them, which would ensure the supply of materials and save him time.

Next, he looked at the Supernatural Material Card.

Item: Soundwave Ability Fruit

Type: Supernatural Material Card

Effect: Can infinitely obtain one Soundwave Ability Fruit.

Soundwave Ability Fruit: Upon consumption, grants soundwave ability, allowing the user to unleash soundwave attacks or perform soundwave hypnosis on a single target or within a certain range, and also provides soundwave defense.

Lu Zheng wasn't surprised by the appearance of this Ability Fruit.

He was, however, very surprised by the effects of this soundwave ability.

Initially, he thought this soundwave ability was simply about shouting at a target, at most emitting infrasound waves to make enemies dizzy and their heads explode.

But he didn't expect the effects of this soundwave ability to be so diverse.

It could create various types of soundwaves, capable of high-frequency soundwave attacks, creating soundwave barriers for defense, and even performing large-scale infrasound hypnosis.

It was a very versatile superpower.

Cao Mengjie also had good cultivation potential.

With over five months of development, she should have a good understanding of her ability, and as long as her rank increased, the combat power she could unleash would surely not disappoint him.

In fact, he had already experienced how unique Cao Mengjie's voice was; she truly was a soundwave ability user.

The night passed uneventfully, and early the next morning.

After showering with the two sisters, he led them, one on each arm, to the dining table.

During breakfast, he announced their current identities.

Ji Dache said with a smile:

“We’ve added two more sisters, and our big family has grown even larger, which is wonderful.”

As the person Lu Zheng left in charge of managing the women on the Sky Cruise, Ji Dache naturally needed to possess sufficient magnanimity.

Regardless of how much of her words were sincere, at least Lu Zheng was pleased to hear them.

He said with a smile:

“Mengjie’s ability is excellent, and I plan to have her lead a team, to shine, and to display her self-worth and charm.”

“As for Mengying, this little mermaid will be in charge of watching the swimming pool!”

Cao Mengying gently nudged Lu Zheng’s shoulder upon hearing this, shyly saying:

“Hmph! I don’t want to watch the pool!”

Ji Dache chuckled:

“Mengying, why don’t you help me manage the affairs of this grand cruise ship!”

“With more people, I can’t manage it all by myself, and my husband will surely bring more people up in the future. You can help me share some of the burden.”

Cao Mengying immediately nodded obediently and said:

“Okay, I’ll follow Big Sister Dache!”

Ji Dache had been managing the women on the cruise for the past two days, and Cao Mengying was originally a maid, managed by her.

Naturally, she was very obedient now.

After breakfast, Lu Zheng uncharacteristically didn't go out, but instead played with the women at the cruise's water park.

Not just his seven or eight women, but dozens of maids also joined in the fun.

Many maids took the opportunity to show off their figures, trying to display their charm to Lu Zheng, and some even directly touched him.

But Lu Zheng wouldn't let them succeed so easily.

He didn't lack women.

There were still dozens of women in the other world eagerly awaiting him; how could he so easily benefit these people?

If just anyone could rise in status, it would make those who had already risen lose their sense of superiority.

Lu Zheng was also too busy.

Even while playing in the water with everyone, he didn't stop clicking on the Sword Control Technique skill book to learn, still continuing to make himself stronger.

He didn't go to collect crystals today; this morning, he was relaxing and resting, and also giving those bases some time to prepare more crystals.

Lu Zheng personally coming to trade was definitely a sign of great respect.

Otherwise, if they had to come to him for trade, the transportation of materials would be a huge problem.

Lu Zheng delivering the goods to their door meant they should prepare more crystals to save him a few trips, which was only right.

After playing all morning and having lunch, Zheng Jingyi came forward and hugged Lu Zheng.

“Husband, I miss Taozi and the others. Can I go back for a visit?”

Tantai Huanyan and Tantai Xiaoyu also came closer.

“I miss my family too.”

The two said together.

Although only a day had passed, this was, after all, another world.

After the novelty wore off, it was normal to worry about family in the other world.

Lu Zheng said with a smile:

“Alright, then I’ll let you go back for two days.”

After obtaining the material cards last night, he didn't rest but focused on absorbing crystals, and he absorbed another batch while playing in the water this morning.

His strength increased, and the number of times the dimensional portal could be opened per cycle increased again, reaching six times.

At the same time, the single recovery time shortened from fourteen hours to twelve hours.

This meant that Lu Zheng’s anxiety about the number of traversals was greatly reduced.

He could completely cross back and forth multiple times.

He first informed Shen Qingyun and the others, then took the three women back to the Yanxia World.

Soon after returning, Lu Zheng received news from Bai Zhihui that Miss Tang wanted to see him.

Lu Zheng had already established a psychic link with Miss Tang, and he appeared directly before her.

“What do you need me for?”

Upon seeing Lu Zheng appear, Miss Tang suddenly burst into tears, throwing herself directly into his arms, looking as if she had suffered a great grievance.

“Why did you take so long to come?!”
