"You said there was a gunfight on the top floor, and then they moved to the 67th floor?"
"Don't take things out of context. What I mean is that the battle on the rooftop ended, a small number of soldiers were killed, and the rest moved to the 67th floor."
"You mean soldiers?" Li Yingmo's expression changed.
Lian Han recalled for a moment and said with certainty, "They are soldiers, no doubt about it. I saw their military insignia."
"Wait a moment." Li Yingmo frowned, still skeptical of this "sight," and opened his smart device to check Zhu Yanxing's military death list. He didn't recall anyone recently sacrificing their lives…
"This junior seems to have plenty of time?" Ling Ze was speechless when he returned home in the evening and saw the girl still sitting at the dining table eating.
No sooner had Lian Han asked for leave than the girl applied to go home. With her outstanding talent as a guarantee, the school quickly approved. Thus, Ling Ze was sent by his older brother to take care of the girl.
Although it's unclear how Ling Xin spoke to his sister, or how his sister communicated with the little girl to get him to stay here, this is a rare opportunity.
“I like it. Senior, would you like some?” Pei Sumei looked at him.
"Then I'll trouble you." Ling Ze smiled and sat down.
Pei Sumei called out, "Housekeeper, go and get another bowl."
"OK."
Taking the bowl from the robot, Ling Ze said, "Thank you."
Seeing his hesitation as he looked at the noodles in his bowl, Pei Sumei smiled and said, "Basket noodles are a specialty of Muluo Star. They taste pretty good. You can't find them anywhere else."
"Then I'll have to try it." Ling Ze smiled.
Seeing him start eating, Pei Sumei lowered her head and began working on her noodles.
You can skip the Skynet and slack off on training, but you absolutely can't skimp on food—that's the heart of a foodie.
After finishing her meal, Pei Sumei tossed the bowl to the housekeeper and settled down on the sofa to rest for a while.
"Are you free?" Ling Ze sat down next to her.
"I'm very busy." Pei Sumei glanced at him lazily.
The system had given her a very full training schedule!
However, Ling Ze didn't quite believe it. Despite the girl's seemingly lazy nature, he was convinced.
If she hadn't realized the importance of ability, she could easily have been playing from morning till night. Besides, she even has the leisure to cook now.
Realizing this, Ling Ze said, "There's a ball in three days. Would you like to be my date?"
"A ball? Why me?" Pei Sumei blinked.
"Miss Su Mei is very beautiful."
That sounds good. The girl became somewhat interested. She had never been to a ball before.
"But I don't have a dress."
"Since I invited them, I'll naturally be the one to prepare."
"That will be very kind of you." Pei Sumei said with a bright smile. Since her sister trusted this person to take care of her, she naturally trusted him too.
"No trouble at all. I just happen to need a dance partner." As Ling Ze said this, his girlfriend's face suddenly popped into his mind, and he felt a little guilty. He decided to turn around and explain to her.
Pei Sumei smiled and stood up, "Then senior should get some rest."
"Xiao Mei, you too."
Watching Pei Sumei leave, Ling Ze smiled and opened his smart device. Thanks to his sister's earlier complaint, his relationship with his girlfriend, Kali Garcia, was now going very well...
The girl's bedroom.
Pei Sumei lay in the bathtub, surrounded by scarlet liquid. The blood-red color, mixed with violent energy, made Pei Sumei's body tremble continuously.
The body-tempering fluid has the effect of strengthening the body.
The effects sound simple, but the fact that she had to expend so much energy minerals to obtain them means that the effects are quite direct and powerful.
Every part of her body was screaming in pain, and every second felt like an eternity! Pei Sumei felt that this was no less painful than the agony she suffered before her death.
But she knew even more that only by persevering could she improve.
With the system as her cheat code, she already had a significant advantage over the citizens of the Federation. After all, others only had the option of body tempering to improve their physical abilities, while Pei Sumei only needed a few medicinal baths—she wanted to catch up with her sister and didn't want to be left behind again…
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a long shadow of the girl. She wore a thin silk nightgown, and her eyes held a hint of weariness.
[The medicine has been absorbed perfectly. It is estimated that after two more body tempering sessions, I will be able to break through to S-rank.] Xiao Ya spoke up at the right time.
[Xiaoya? You're back?] The girl was surprised; her pretty face seemed even more delicate in the sunlight.
Xiao Ya said: [It's only temporary. I was only able to appear briefly because I sensed you used the body-tempering fluid.]
"How is your sister now?" Pei Sumei asked, wiping her hair.
That devilish woman, what could possibly subdue her? They didn't even bother to ask him how things were. Xiao Ya, the energy system, felt a pang of sadness. [She's fine. It's just that the mission prevents her from using her own AI.]
[That's good. You must listen to your sister, okay? She's very kind to her own people, but to her enemies—] Pei Sumei paused, [Anyway, she won't do that to you. Don't worry.]
"Oh." Xiaoya replied indifferently. She still didn't ask about his recent situation.
Pei Sumei had no idea what he was thinking. After cleaning herself up and walking out of the bathroom, she felt full of energy. It felt amazing!
Thinking of something, Pei Sumei asked, "Xiao Ya, were you just trying to fool me when you told me to end my awakening?"
Xiao Ya paused for a moment, then said, "No. The Spirit Source Technique isn't a lie either. If nothing unexpected happens, the system will help you grow step by step, even to the point of becoming a god."
Pei Sumei remained silent.
In Xiao Ya's eyes, this meant "keep making things up." Finally, in a moment of despair, he revealed the truth: "Alright. I admit there was an element of scheming involved. Once you learned the Source Technique, your interests would be completely tied to the energy system. But who knew…"
[Who knew I had such a wonderful older sister?] Pei Sumei's eyes crinkled into a smile. Her sister was the best. [So, how about you consider getting me some body-tempering fluid as compensation?]
Xiao Ya: [...You're trying to blackmail me again? Don't even think about it!]
[Then, as a compromise, I'll learn the Energy Master's skills first, and then give them to me.]
Understanding the threat in her words, Xiaoya was still somewhat reluctant: "[These are all the skills you can learn at Rank A.]"
Pei Sumei thought about it for a moment and finally agreed.
According to Xiaoya, it's best to use the body-tempering liquid only after the body's spirit and physique have completely absorbed the effects of the previous medication. There's still a month left, there's plenty of time.
Being an energy engineer is quite interesting; my sister said before that it's worth studying...
On a certain planet, in a certain manor.
Looking at the package that had arrived at their home, Ling Xin, somewhat bewildered, put her arm around her younger brother's shoulder. "What do you think Father meant by this gift? A mecha model? It's not for that Xiao Mei, is it?"
"Father has his reasons. Just send it over."
"Okay. I'll go to the villa for a walk later and check on them while I'm at it."
Ling Yue, who was flipping through documents next to her, paused. "Together."
Ling Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at her younger brother, "You! You clearly like Xiao Mei a lot too, but you just don't know how to say it." You scared her like that before.
"I'll just see if Ling Ze has completed the mission."
