[Current Status: A woman blinded by love; if she doesn't see that boy Yun Zhuo for a single day, she feels as if something is missing from her life.
Unfortunately, that guy is leaving today. She hopes he will summon her soon, yet prays he never runs into trouble; her heart is twisted like a pretzel.]
As for Jiang Jingjing, her Rank had also reached 30. However, as the only person in the village besides Yun Zhuo who could activate the cyber bodhisattva, Yun Zhuo did not intend to summon her.
Therefore, he didn't inlay any crystals for her, and the runes were all inlaid with Corrosion Energy absorption.
The other War Princesses who would be summoned for combat, like Yaoyao, Xuanxuan, and Nana, had also reached Rank 30. Their inlaid crystals and runes were similar to Di Zhenzhen's.
As for the Ranks of the others, they were only at Rank 10, and their inlays were all runes that enhanced Corrosion Energy absorption.
From the current situation, leveling up was a process of physical strengthening. The higher the Rank, the more Corrosion Energy was required, but a War Princess's ability to absorb Corrosion Energy from the outside world only increased by a small point every ten Ranks.
This slight increase was almost negligible compared to the Corrosion Energy needed for leveling up.
The only things that could increase the speed of Corrosion Energy absorption were talents, potions, and runes. As for the Energy Gathering Arrays, they merely increased the concentration of Corrosion Energy within a unit of space, allowing the War Princesses' absorption to reach saturation.
To put it bluntly, it only ensured the War Princesses were full; it didn't increase their appetite.
Fortunately, Yun Zhuo's corrosion energy furnace could regulate the distribution of Corrosion Energy. This way, he could convert all the Corrosion Energy absorbed by the War Princesses and distribute it to himself and a few designated War Princesses.
So, even though he had contracted so many War Princesses now, it was impossible to turn them all into wingmen in a short time. Instead of letting them level up idly, it was better to use them as leveling accelerators.
This was much faster than using potions. If not for the need to consider his combat power redundancy, reaching Rank 50 in a month wouldn't have been a problem.
Regarding the aura concealment runes inlaid for the Su teachers, his Mother-in-law had given him one before, but he hadn't paid attention to it at the time and even sold it for money.
Now that he knew the two sisters were peerless divine weapons forged for him by Qiu Min at Su Jingzhou's request, he finally understood his Mother-in-law's painstaking efforts back then.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late to find out. Plus, with Li Jianrong sending so many runes, hiding the sisters' auras was a simple matter.
Recalling the partnership with Li Jianrong, it had been a whim; he just felt it would be embarrassing to stand him up.
He hadn't expected that a casual action would bear such great fruit.
Now, he had achieved freedom with runes and crystals just by lying at home, and in one month, he had earned three hundred million.
Early in the morning, just as Teacher Su opened the door, she saw Di Zhenzhen standing in the white frost outside the courtyard, her nun's robe still damp with the morning mist.
Before she could speak, Di Zhenzhen cut in, "I've come to see you off."
Teacher Su opened the door wide and stood there without saying a word, a faint sense of distance in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
The elder Teacher Su walked out, looking at the younger Teacher Su in confusion.
The latter pouted toward the outside.
The elder Teacher Su followed her gaze and saw Di Zhenzhen standing outside the courtyard.
She immediately gave a gentle smile and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Then she turned back toward the house and called out, "Xiao Zhuo, are you ready? Sister Zhenzhen is waiting for you outside."
"Coming, coming."
As Yun Zhuo's voice rang out from inside, the two Su teachers at the door quickly made way for him.
"Sister Zhenzhen, morning."
The corners of Di Zhenzhen's mouth curled up, her smile tinged with reluctance. "I've come to see you off."
"Didn't I say it wasn't necessary? I'm just going back to school; it's not like we won't see each other again."
As he spoke, Yun Zhuo walked toward the courtyard exit.
The Su teachers also followed, walking hand in hand.
Di Zhenzhen's gaze followed Yun Zhuo from the moment he stepped out of the house until he stood before her. She watched him quietly, her eyes so focused it was as if she wanted to firmly imprint every detail of his face into her heart.
"Are you reluctant to see me go?" Yun Zhuo brushed the dew from her clothes.
Di Zhenzhen smiled slightly. "Mm."
"Then how about coming to my place for some tea?"
"Huh?"
