Chapter 55 Active Absorption



As she was thinking, she slowly fell asleep. Later, she felt someone cover her with something. In her drowsy state, she thought it was the family's maid. She just hummed in response and didn't even bother to open her eyes, obediently letting the person cover her with a blanket.

Lossie couldn't help but admire her carefree attitude. After tucking her in, she went back to her own room.

Although the air conditioning in the dormitory is on at 25 degrees Celsius 24 hours a day, it's still easy to catch a cold if you don't cover yourself with something.

Sitting at the desk by the window, Losi was engrossed in her book. She knew too little about this world; she lacked both influence and strength to attract attention. To go to interstellar space, she had to be among the best.

Perhaps because Yuan Jing modified her body, her memory is much better than before. She can remember anything she has looked at carefully without having to memorize it by rote.

Human potential is too limited, and she doesn't really want to go down the path of genetic modification; her only hope is the Source Crystal.

Thinking of this, she took out the source crystal from the space.

I originally intended to save them for emergencies when I ran out of points, but now that I have quite a bit of wealth, perhaps absorbing them is a better choice.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to feel the energy contained within her hands. She had never actively absorbed it before and didn't know if she could succeed.

In the darkness, everything fell silent, and the once clear sound of the air conditioner cooling disappeared from our ears.

Only a faint blue light appeared ahead, and a thumping sound came from the center of the blue light, gradually merging with the sound of Losi's heartbeat.

In her mind, she slowly approached, and the blue light remained motionless.

Until she touched it with her consciousness, the originally quiet and peaceful blue light suddenly scattered into countless tiny points of light, and the energy body seemed to come alive the moment it started to move.

Under Losi's strong will, the light slowly merged into her body.

I opened my eyes; five minutes had passed.

It looks like it takes a long time, but the actual absorption time is only about ten seconds. This is mainly because I wasn't very familiar with the active absorption process the first time, and I spent a lot of time finding the right method in the early stages.

The space increased by 30 cubic meters, but there were no obvious changes in my body.

The source crystal in his hand had turned grayish-white. It looked like an ordinary stone, but it crumbled when touched and could turn into powder at any moment.

Out of caution, Losi didn't throw it in the trash can, but instead put it directly into her spatial storage, right near the vampire vine seed.

...

Time flew by as she read, and before she knew it, it was six o'clock in the afternoon. The sky began to darken, and Losi got up and turned on the light.

Just then, Nicole knocked on Rossi's door: "Want to eat?"

"No, I ate a full lunch. I'll just have some nutritional supplements this afternoon." Losi decisively refused after opening the door. Nicole's food was too nutritious, and she couldn't keep freeloading.

"Oh, but I've already ordered takeout for two people, and the cafeteria has already delivered it. If you don't eat it, I can't finish it all by myself, and it'll just have to be thrown away."

Hearing Nicole say that, Rossi twitched her nose and indeed smelled the aroma of Chinese food.

Even though she wasn't hungry, her mouth was uncontrollably watering: "Thanks a lot this time. Next time you eat out, just order your own food, you don't need to take me with you."

Nicole understood that Rossi was embarrassed and didn't insist. The two finished their dinner happily, and Rossi volunteered to clean up the trash and offered to do the cleaning for a month.

Nicole had no objection; she didn't want to do any housework: "By the way, feel free to take anything from the fridge if you want."

Lossie hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. However, she was indebted to the man who fed her, so she figured she would have to keep doing the housework.

The next morning, the noise outside was even louder. There were significantly more people registering today than yesterday.

Losi got up early and did some light exercise indoors.

After taking a nutritional supplement for breakfast, she started reading again.

Perhaps it's because she absorbed the source crystal yesterday and hoped to improve her memory, but today her memory seems to have really improved a bit, about 10% faster than yesterday.

Unfortunately, the source crystal didn't contain much energy, so the increase was relatively limited.

Now that I'm in a safe zone, I can't just look for Source Crystals like I did in the refugee camp. I have to accumulate more points to exchange for Source Crystals.

Nicole ate bread from the refrigerator this morning and went out in the afternoon.

School officially started on June 23.

Lossie got up at 4:30 a.m., washed up, and took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator.

Seeing that Nicole hadn't gotten up yet, he had no choice but to knock on her door.

"Nicole, it's 4:50, time to go to class."

There was no response from inside. After calling twice more without any reaction, Losi finally opened her bedroom door.

She knew that this second young lady had a rather bad temper when she woke up, so she didn't plan to be forceful. Instead, she whispered in her ear, "Miss Nicole, today is the first day of school."

You probably don't want to leave a bad impression on your homeroom teacher and other teachers, right? You're the second young lady of the Deepu family.

Upon hearing this, Nicole sat up abruptly. She represented the Deep family, and she could not bring shame upon the family.

Without Rossi needing to urge her, she threw off the covers and immediately took off her pajamas and changed into regular clothes, completely disregarding Rossi's presence.

Seeing this, Losi hurriedly left the room, and within three minutes she was out of the room, rushing to the washroom.

What used to take her at least half an hour to get up and leave the house only took her 20 minutes this time.

Yesterday, Nicole said class started at 5:30. So there are still 20 minutes left. Only a few girls from Class A of Grade 1 haven't left yet.

The corridor was lit up, and they recognized Nicole and greeted her warmly. They were also quite enthusiastic towards Losi, who was next to Nicole.

Lossie responded politely, knowing that they probably wouldn't have greeted her at all if they hadn't seen Nicole with her.

But she didn't care; this was enough on the surface.

Nicole was too particular about etiquette, which made them a little late. Fortunately, the teaching building wasn't too far from the dormitory, and the lights were on all the way. The two of them finally arrived at the classroom with two minutes left.

As soon as they entered the classroom, everyone looked at Rossi... and Nicole next to her.

The noisy classroom fell silent instantly, and Nicole smiled and nodded in greeting. One of the girls in the front row waved, and Nicole immediately went over.

Seeing that there was only one seat next to the girl, Rossi wisely didn't go with her, but instead went to an empty seat in the back row.

As Nicole settled into her seat, murmurs began to ripple through the classroom.

"It really is the second young lady of the Deep family. Why would she come to the United Academy?"

"I don't know, but she's in our Class A now. Do you think her dad will sponsor any events we have in the future?"

"That's Nicole Depp, she's even prettier in person than in photos."

"Hmph, the heir of the Deep family, you'd praise even a pig as good-looking."

The voices of envy and jealousy from both boys and girls were deafening, and although they spoke very softly, Losi heard them all.

Of the 60 people, a few discussed her briefly, but quickly forgot about her; Nicole was still more appealing.

"Who is that black-haired mixed-race girl sitting with Miss Nicole? They seem to know each other very well."

"She's from the Qin family, so don't mess with either of them; we can't afford to offend either of them."

"The Qin family? Why not go to Zhongzhou Academy, which her family owns shares in?"

"Because... she's an illegitimate daughter of the Qin family, which is shameful. Now that the eldest daughter and second son of the Qin family are studying in Zhongzhou, she'll probably be bullied to death if she goes there."

But don't get any funny ideas. Even if she's an illegitimate child, if we offend her, we're finished.
