"It's not that I'm deliberately not paying for it, it's just too expensive for me. You're a man, so please bear with it!"

He muttered to himself as he took out a low-grade gold-type crystal core from his spatial storage and had him hold it in his palm.

Using his wood-based supernatural abilities to assist his mental energy, he guided the energy from the crystal core into the man's sea of ​​consciousness little by little. At the same time, he stimulated the man's dantian with his mental energy, trying to get him to fight back and break free of the constraints on his own.

[Host, he is about to successfully awaken.]

Even without system reminders, Gu Zuozuo knew he was nearing the awakening point, just one final tremor away.

The energy in these rooms has become unstable.

After stuffing a Qi-boosting pill into his mouth, Gu Zuozuo's figure instantly disappeared from the room.

At the same time, sharp golden blades appeared beside Jiang Bei, flying out uncontrollably in all directions.

Hearing the crashing and banging sounds inside the house, Gu Zuozuo, filled with envy, slapped her behind and walked away with a flourish.

"Commander, why can't I awaken my metal-type ability?"

Isn't it said that the type of superpower awakened after a superpower is similar to the personality of the user?

Why did she, with her less-than-ideal personality, awaken the gentlest of the five elements—the wood element?

Jiangbei has a good temper, and the awakened form is indeed a very powerful metal-type.

[Host, the awakening of your superpowers isn't just due to your temper, but also to your talent.]

Doesn't the host even realize that with her dog-like temper, she managed to transform the gentlest wood element into a deadly weapon?

Therefore, temper is quite important.

As the room gradually quieted down, Gu Zuozuo opened the door a crack to make sure he was still alive and his breathing was strong before she felt relieved.

Now that the most dangerous awakening period has passed, Jiang Bei is no longer in mortal danger, and Meng Tian won't be sad, there's no need for her to stay here and waste her time.

Before leaving, she glanced at Xie Jinyu.

As soon as I entered the room, I noticed that the atmosphere was off; the invisible air conditioning was so cold it felt like the air was frozen solid.

He glanced at the cold-faced woman in military uniform who was busy running around beside him, ignoring him, and then at Xie Jinyu who was staring at him with a half-smile. He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

Look at that familiar expression, it's exactly the same as when we first met. You can tell at a glance that he's up to no good.

"It seems your injury is almost healed."

It can still spare mental energy to monitor people, so it seems to have recovered quite well.

Startled by her sudden voice, the woman's expression changed slightly upon seeing her face. Then, as if remembering something, she quickly lowered her head to prevent anyone from seeing her expression.

Seeing this, Gu Zuozuo blinked her big eyes, looked at the person sitting silently to the side, and gestured to Xie Jinyu.

"Is this woman doing Sichuan opera face-changing? Her face-changing speed is incredible!"

Xie Jinyu pretended not to understand her meaning and waved for the woman to leave.

"Ah Jin, your aunt said I should take care of you..."

"I'm fine now. You should get back to the team as soon as possible. Didn't you say you had a performance?"

The woman hesitated, glancing at Gu Zuozuo who had already pulled up a chair and sat down, then at Xie Jinyu who was starting to get impatient. She could only nod resentfully, turn around, and walk out.

"What's going on? Your girlfriend?"

Xie Jinyu waved her hand, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"A person introduced to me by my family."

Gu Zuozuo suddenly realized, her tone laced with amusement.

"One man for two women, what a fancy way to play the game."
