175: Chapter 175 Physique Breakthrough to Two Hundred!

The door closed.

Only two people remained in the Pilot Tower.

Jiang Jiuyou was still staring at the panel, her fingers not stopping.

"Now is not the time to rest."

Chen Chen walked behind her, bracing his arms on the console from both sides, enclosing her in the middle.

His scorching body heat pressed close.

Jiang Jiuyou's spine stiffened instantly.

"Chen Chen."

"Drink the soup."

"No time."

Chen Chen reached out and directly gripped her wrist.

Jiang Jiuyou struggled a bit, but couldn't break free.

She turned her head; her ice-blue pupils were filled with bloodshot veins, yet she still insisted on maintaining that calm facade.

"Three hundred thousand people are pressing in from the outside, and you're messing around with me right now?"

Chen Chen lowered his head, his breath falling against her ear.

"We agreed on it, seventh in line."

Jiang Jiuyou's breathing faltered for a beat.

"Do you have to pick this time?"

"You're about to collapse."

Chen Chen pushed the soup bowl in front of her.

"Drink it, replenish your status."

Jiang Jiuyou stared at that bowl of soup, her throat moving.

"Can't you just say you care about me?"

"No."

"Bastard."

She picked up the bowl and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.

The high-grade bone marrow soup entered her stomach, and a warm current quickly spread.

Jiang Jiuyou's complexion recovered a bit, but that bit of exhaustion simply couldn't be suppressed.

Chen Chen gripped her waist from behind.

The clasp of her military cloak was gently unfastened by his fingertips.

Click.

The cloak slid onto the back of the chair.

Jiang Jiuyou's hands pressed against the edge of the console, her knuckles turning white.

"Do you know how many people outside are waiting to seize your Floating City?"

"I know."

"Then how dare you get distracted?"

"This isn't called being distracted."

Chen Chen turned her around.

"This is pre-battle reinforcement."

Jiang Jiuyou froze for half a second, then suddenly chuckled softly.

"You're treating me like a weapon upgrade?"

"Aren't you always?"

This sentence struck a chord with her.

Jiang Jiuyou raised her hand and slowly unbuttoned the top of her black high-neck inner lining.

Her movements were a bit shaky, but her tone remained hard.

"Chen Chen, I'll only say this once."

"I am not anyone's accessory."

Chen Chen gripped her chin.

"You are my deputy commander."

Jiang Jiuyou looked up at him.

A few seconds later, she took the initiative to lean in.

"Then let your deputy commander see just how outrageous this pre-battle reinforcement of yours really is."

Outside the one-way panoramic glass, the entire Floating City was brightly lit.

Inside the glass, the cold pride that Jiang Jiuyou had suppressed for thirty hours was torn away bit by bit by Chen Chen.

She no longer tried to act tough.

Nor did she use duty as a shield anymore.

The console's automatic takeover mode lit up, and the Sea Scale secondary battery array temporarily switched to Shen Wanbing's remote supervision.

A system prompt popped up.

[Forbidden Domain Dual Cultivation triggered.]

[Qi and Blood Mutual Nourishment initiated.]

Chen Chen's current constitution is 207.

Jiang Jiuyou's constitution was originally only over seventy.

The gap was too large.

The first round of mutual nourishment landed, and Jiang Jiuyou froze noticeably.

Violent Qi and Blood poured into her limbs and bones, and her exhaustion was forcibly washed away.

She gritted her teeth, her forehead resting on Chen Chen's shoulder.

"Is this... what they call charging every day?"

Chen Chen lowered his head.

"If you can still talk, it means it's not enough."

"You dare—"

The second round prompt popped up.

[Jiang Jiuyou constitution +8.]

[Jiang Jiuyou Spirit +6.]

[Jiang Jiuyou agility +4.]

Jiang Jiuyou didn't finish her sentence; her fingers gripped Chen Chen's shoulders tightly.

Her lingxi ring emitted a faint vibration, and all biological signs within fifteen meters were forced to feed back into her brain.

Chen Chen's heart rate was so steady it didn't seem human.

Her own heart rate soared.

This made her both ashamed and annoyed.

"Is it that hard to make your heart rate messy just once?"

Chen Chen chuckled softly.

"You can keep trying."

In the second half of the night, the red lights outside the Pilot Tower didn't stop.

In the first-floor hall.

Shen Wanxing hugged a blanket, staring at the fourth floor, her little face flushed red.

"Isn't Sister Jiang commanding?"

Blood Rose sat by the bar, shaking her cup.

"She is still commanding now, it's just that the command authority has been taken over by someone else."

Su Xiaoqi chewed on a steak, nodding seriously.

"Brother is really hardworking; he still has to level everyone up after fighting monsters."

Shen Wanbing's fingers paused on the panel.

"Su Xiaoqi, stop learning to talk like Blood Rose."

Su Xiaoqi felt aggrieved.

"I was praising Brother."

Jiang Yanxue leaned against the wall, listening to the faint movements coming from the fourth floor, and snorted.

"Jiang Jiuyou won't last too long."

Qin Hongye checked her firearm without lifting her head.

"You said the same thing about yourself last time."

Jiang Yanxue's movements stopped.

Blood Rose laughed out loud on the spot.

"Sister Hongye, that stings."

Shen Wanbing enlarged the Radar.

"Stop messing around."

"The people outside have entered within ten kilometers."

The hall instantly quieted down.

...

4:20 AM.

Inside the Pilot Tower.

The last round of mutual nourishment ended.

Jiang Jiuyou leaned against the console, her breathing not yet steady.

Her silver-white long hair was scattered on her shoulders, her black inner lining was loosened, and she had lost that sharpness, gaining a bit of the relaxation that only appears after battle.

System prompts refreshed.

[Jiang Jiuyou constitution breakthrough 100.]

[Jiang Jiuyou Spirit breakthrough 100.]

[beauty bond level increased to Lv.5.]

[Gold affix: Mechanical Empress: Starport Resonance, underwent a qualitative change.]

[Fleet Link range increased to 20 kilometers.]

[New God-level active skill: Firepower Overload.]

[Firepower Overload: After activation, within three minutes, all weapon attacks within the Fleet Link range forcibly ignore 50% of the target's armor. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

Jiang Jiuyou stared at the system panel, not speaking for a long time.

Chen Chen helped her up.

"How do you feel?"

Jiang Jiuyou raised her hand and tied up her scattered silver hair again.

She tried to mobilize her Mental Power.

The next second, the entire Floating City's firepower nodes, the Sea Scale secondary battery, and the outer vehicle turrets all lit up in her mind.

Ten times clearer than before.

She slowly buttoned up her inner lining.

"Now, whoever says I need to rest, I'll shoot them first."

Chen Chen threw the cloak to her.

"Then go to work."

Jiang Jiuyou caught the cloak and glanced at him sideways.

"Kicking people out after using them?"

"There are three hundred thousand people outside."

"Fine."

She put on the cloak and sat back at the deputy command console.

The bloodshot veins in her ice-blue pupils were still there, but her entire aura had changed.

When the adjutant pushed the door open, he almost thought he had walked into the wrong place.

"Commander Jiang, the The Three Major Alliances have entered the ten-kilometer range!"

Jiang Jiuyou's fingers landed on the console.

"Full city combat readiness."

"Connect their channel."
