25: Chapter 25 How about we elevate our revolutionary friendship to a higher level?

"Yun Zhuo, you're courting death!" Su Qingyuan grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at him, her face flushing red then turning pale. Flustered and angry, she defended herself, "I did that to maintain elasticity! It's not what you said at all!"

"What did I say?" Yun Zhuo asked, deliberately pressing the issue.

"My feet don't smell."

"Words are not proof."

"If you don't believe me, smell them."

The moment the words left her mouth, combined with the act of extending her foot, Su Qingyuan realized how suggestive that sounded.

She jerked her foot back halfway through, blushing as she stammered, "W-well? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"The way you're doing it, even if it were a pile of crap, I wouldn't be able to smell it."

"You..." Su Qingyuan was so furious her teeth itched. She steeled herself and extended her foot again.

This time, without waiting for her to speak, Yun Zhuo grabbed her ankle, seized the opportunity to lean in, and took an exaggeratedly deep breath.

"Just smell it, don't inhale it into your lungs!" Su Qingyuan, both embarrassed and angry, grabbed his hair and yanked him up, glaring at him.

Yun Zhuo laughed out loud, "It smells really good."

Su Qingyuan's face turned bright red. She quickly let go of his hair, pulled her foot back to hide it behind the sofa, and stammered, "A-alright, stop messing around, hurry up and pack your things!"

"Ding~"

"What is it now?" Su Qingyuan asked, turning back.

Yun Zhuo pointed at his bracelet, "The bracelet and that blade have been sold. They were snapped up so quickly, do you think I sold them too cheaply?"

"How much did you sell them for?"

"The brand new bracelet for 95,000, and the 90% new long blade for 90,000."

"That's not cheap. Storage bracelets are always in high demand, and as for the long blade, I guess you're just lucky, kid."

"Is your luggage packed?"

"Why?"

"We have money now. After we go to the guild to collect the payment, we can open an inlay slot for you."

An hour later, the two arrived at the guild to complete the transaction, exchanging money for goods.

Two bracelets for 190,000, the long blade for 90,000, plus what remained in Yun Zhuo's pocket, they now had a total of 430,000.

This time, there was no need to spend money on a hotel room. After exchanging for 400,000 in cash, they went straight back to Teacher Su's cousin's training room.

"Ding! inlay slot four successfully activated. War Princess talent upgraded to Earth Rank High Grade. Do you wish to continue activating the fifth inlay slot?"

[Name: Su Qingyuan]

[Rank: 2]

[Age: 22]

[Appearance: 97]

[Talent: Earth Rank High Grade]

[Attack Power: 400 × 2 (Mecha Form)]

[Defense: 400 × 2 (Mecha Form)]

[Speed: 400 × 2 (Motorbike Form)]

[Transformation Form: Small Electric Scooter → ever-changing motorbike]

[inlay slots: 4 (Inactive: 5)]

[Clapping Count: 0]

[Current Status: She feels flustered when facing a kid named Yun Zhuo.]

Opening the fifth slot costs one million, and they didn't have that much money on them.

Yun Zhuo had the System perform a match directly.

Opening the slot cost 100,000, and matching cost 100,000; 200,000 was gone just like that.

But the effect was immediate. Not to mention Teacher Su's mecha, the Corrosion Energy being input from Teacher Su was five times faster than before.

After matching, the conversion rate of his own corrosion energy furnace also increased fivefold.

Correspondingly, his own upgrade speed and recovery speed also increased fivefold.

Next, he spent another 1,000 to reach the entry level for "Six Harmonies Great Spear".

But Proficiency required 30,000, Major Achievement required 100,000, and Return to Truth required 380,000.

Yun Zhuo planned to just get the entry level first, because the price for Cultivation given by the System was not fixed.

Previously, the price for "Stance Step Flat Spear Style" Return to Truth was 100,000, but now it was only 99,999, which was 10 less.

Although it wasn't much, Yun Zhuo knew that the System's pricing was related to his own understanding of spear techniques.

Ren Honglin said that average people couldn't learn "Six Harmonies Great Spear", but it only cost him 1,000 to get the entry level because his "Stance Step Flat Spear Style" had already reached Major Achievement.

He was no longer a newbie starting from scratch.

In other words, as long as he was willing to put in the effort to Cultivate the Martial Skill, the System would lower the price for subsequent Realms as his understanding of the spear technique deepened.

Plus, Cultivating Martial Skills via Body Integration could also increase his upgrade speed.

It would be better to just get the entry level and Cultivate it himself; not only could he level up, but he could also save money.

When the need arose, he still had some extra funds in his pocket, so charging straight to Major Achievement wouldn't be a problem.

Then he spent another 10,000 to learn "Six Harmonies Dragon Python Strength".

As for "Stance Step Living Body Style", it was heartlessly abandoned by Yun Zhuo because "Six Harmonies Great Spear" already contained movement and evasion techniques, and they were matched to the spear technique.

In the time that followed, Yun Zhuo spent his days practicing "Six Harmonies Great Spear" with Teacher Su through Body Integration, and his nights Cultivating "Six Harmonies Dragon Python Strength".

"Stretch out your hand, hurry up. After I finish giving you the injection, I still need to take a shower."

After exiting the Body Integration state, Teacher Su beckoned to Yun Zhuo while wiping sweat with a towel.

When he got close, she yanked him over, picked up the injection gun, and administered a D-Rank energy-gathering potion into his deltoid muscle.

Because Yun Zhuo still had to Cultivate "Six Harmonies Dragon Python Strength" alone, the D-Rank energy-gathering potion could increase the Cultivation effect by 30% for a duration of one hour.

The effective time wasn't long, and the effect was halved after the character reached Level 5, and it was completely useless after Level 10.

But it had the advantage of being plentiful and free.

Because it was all gifted by Zhou Libin, a week's supply for fifty people.

Besides that, there were also two combat suits, and stamina potions to extend the duration of Body Integration.

But the stamina potions were useless to Yun Zhuo, and he planned to sell them for money.

Because the corrosion energy furnace with 100% conversion efficiency gave him extraordinary recovery capabilities, the stamina consumption during Body Integration was far from catching up to his recovery speed.

If it weren't for the need to eat, drink, and relieve himself, he could have lived with Teacher Su in the Body Integration state forever.

But if that were the case, wouldn't he become a cross-dressing master? And the kind whose butt could shine bright enough to use as a mirror.

After Teacher Su finished giving Yun Zhuo the injection, she gave herself one too.

The power System of this world was different; the potions used for War Spirit Masters and War Princesses were mostly in double portions, divided into A and B doses.

War Princesses used the A dose to increase Corrosion Energy absorption.

War Spirit Masters used the B dose to increase Corrosion Energy conversion.

Using both doses together achieved the goal of increasing upgrade speed.

"Alright, I'm going to take a shower." Teacher Su put away the injection gun and turned to walk toward the bathroom.

Yun Zhuo watched her graceful back wrapped in the form-fitting combat suit, the sharp tailoring of the fabric outlining her slender waist and perky curves.

A pair of long legs wrapped in black boots, set off by the slender heels, looked even straighter and more slender, and every step she took carried the dashing aura unique to a mature woman.

Watching her, Yun Zhuo's throat bobbed, and he couldn't help but call out, "Do you want me to scrub your back? I guarantee the strength will be just right, and the service will be top-notch."

"Pah!" Su Qingyuan didn't even look back, her voice filled with embarrassment and anger, "If you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I'll slap you!"

"Really?"

"What's wrong with you?" She finally stopped and turned back to glare at him, "Is this one of your hobbies too?"

"Pah, what are you talking about? It's just that they say hitting is kissing and scolding is loving; the more you fight, the more you love.

To accelerate the sublimation of our revolutionary friendship, I propose... how about a mutual beat-down?"

"A mutual beat-down? There's no taking advantage like you do. Without transforming, I'm just an ordinary person, and after transforming, without you, I can't move. How can I beat you up?"

"Is that so? Then I'll let you be on top, will that do? If you're still not satisfied, then I'll take another loss; you move, and I won't. Is that satisfactory?"

"Wait, is the mutual beat-down you're talking about the one I'm thinking of?"

"Why does Teacher Su ask that? Could it be... no way, are you thinking about love growing over time?"

"Where are your thoughts going? I am very pure; you can't incite me like that."

"You... get lost!" Su Qingyuan was both angry and embarrassed, and she threw the towel in her hand at him, "If you bully me again, I'm really going to slap you!"
