Chapter 152: Something Is Crazily Pouring Into the Body
The starship sped toward the Main Star.
Bai Zhi sent a message to Hu Yan, telling him to come home early. She also had Yue Junxiao tell the chef to prepare some food and pack some basic supplies in advance.
It was almost evening by the time they arrived home.
Because she had told Yue Junxiao and the others ahead of time, they had already packed and were waiting. All the food was packaged to be eaten on the starship.
Hu Yan had just gotten back when Bai Zhi and the others arrived.
Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen were the first to spot Bai Zhi. They immediately called out, "Darling, you’re back? We’ve got the things you asked for. They’re all in our spatial storage."
Hu Yan had barely stepped through the door when he heard Yue Junxiao’s shout, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
He turned to see Bai Zhi rushing and thought something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "What’s happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Bai Zhi first nodded at Yue Junxiao and the others, then quickly answered Hu Yan’s question. "I have a star system. It can increase spiritual power. You all should go try it and see if you can break through to the SS and SSS-levels. We’ll talk about the rest on the way. Don’t you have things to do tomorrow? We need to get there and back quickly."
Bai Zhi had only told Yue Junxiao and the others to prepare some things, without specifying what they would be doing. Now, hearing her explanation, they were all stunned by her words.
Sang Mo was the first to react. He strode over to Bai Zhi, his expression serious. "Are you being serious?"
At Sang Mo’s words, Yue Junxiao and the others snapped out of it and asked excitedly, "Darling, are you for real?!!"
Hu Yan had heard Bai Zhi mention a star system before, but he didn’t know it could actually increase spiritual power. Still, he knew this wasn’t the time for questions. "Let’s go," he said. "We can talk on the way."
Yue Junxiao reacted instantly. He grabbed Yan Yichen and started walking, his voice filled with unconcealable excitement. "Let’s go!"
Bai Zhi’s starship was quite large, so she had parked it a little far away.
They rushed the entire way, not stopping for a moment, and arrived before dawn.
She gave them a simple explanation on the way. Fortunately, they were all too excited to ask many questions.
A star system that could increase spiritual power... If news of this got out, countless people would flock to it. After all, it was the first of its kind in the entire Federation!
To avoid revealing the combat mechas, Bai Zhi had deliberately parked in a different location.
Construction robots built several rooms with extreme speed.
Beastmen have a natural habit of claiming their own territory, so unless absolutely necessary, they generally don’t like to be crowded together.
They were going to be here for a while, after all. They couldn’t just stay outside the whole time, exposed to the wind and sun. If it rained, they’d be in a sorry state.
The moment Hu Yan and the others stepped off the starship, they felt clear-headed and refreshed. Even their moods improved unconsciously.
Yan Yichen took a deep breath. "I never knew a place like this existed."
Lang Qiu had been here twice, but he hadn’t felt much the last time, possibly due to where they’d parked. This time, however, he could truly feel the satisfying sensation of his spiritual power being replenished.
Yue Junxiao had only been standing outside the starship for a few moments when he faintly felt a stir in his spirit sea. He exclaimed excitedly, "I can feel my spiritual power rising!"
His words jolted everyone.
They had expected their spiritual power to rise, but they hadn’t thought it would be so obvious!
Yan Yichen’s eyes widened. "Me too! I feel like something is frantically pouring into my body."
It wasn’t just the two of them; the others felt it too. Even Bai Zhi could feel her own spiritual power shooting up.
The robots were building quickly. They had only been standing there for a few minutes after getting off the starship, yet they could all clearly feel their spiritual power increasing. If they slept here for a night, wouldn’t they break through by the time they woke up?!
Many people desperately longed to increase their spiritual power. In a situation like this, where it was rising so directly, Bai Zhi worried they might become blinded by the temptation and refuse to leave. If that happened, not only would they fail to improve, but they might even cause irreparable harm to their bodies.
So, Bai Zhi stated with a serious expression, "Everyone pick a room. You can only stay for a maximum of twelve hours. Any longer and you might experience physical discomfort. Regardless of whether you break through after twelve hours, you must all come out and leave. Understood?"
Yue Junxiao was the first to respond. "Understood. I’ll definitely come out at the last minute."
The others all voiced their agreement as well.
Only then did Bai Zhi say, "Go on in."
They had already eaten on the starship, but since it had been a while, they each brought some food inside with them.
After getting the go-ahead, everyone immediately chose a room and went inside.
Before opening his door, Yue Junxiao turned back and gave Bai Zhi a sweet smile. "Thank you, darling~"
Lang Qiu nodded at her before entering the second room.
Even Sang Mo’s attitude had softened considerably, though the look he gave Bai Zhi was somewhat complicated. Bai Zhi just assumed he was still holding a grudge about past events.
Yan Yichen shuffled over and gave Bai Zhi a hug before quickly entering the third room.
Hu Yan stood beside her. "They won’t go over the time limit. They all know what they’re doing."
Bai Zhi turned to look at him. "Aren’t you going in?"
Hu Yan glanced at the sky, which was just beginning to brighten. "It’s still early. It doesn’t matter if I go in or not."
That was true. She hadn’t asked the system to restrict the spiritual power enhancement to a specific location; it worked everywhere. It was just that it might be a bit sunny during the day, which could make it hard to concentrate, so it was better to be in a separate room.
Hu Yan asked, "Is this also from that ’cheat’ of yours?"
Bai Zhi faltered for a second, not immediately understanding what he meant by "cheat." Then she realized he was talking about her system.
She nodded and hummed in affirmation.
Hu Yan continued, "The surprise you mentioned last time—was this it?"
Bai Zhi nodded, then shook her head. "Yes and no."
Hearing this, Hu Yan pondered for a few seconds and didn’t press further. "Then I won’t ask. That ’cheat’ of yours certainly gave you a good place."
Hearing Hu Yan praise it, the system immediately puffed out its little chest with pride. Although no one could see it, Bai Zhi vaguely noticed that the shop interface was trembling. The system was clearly a little excited.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. ’So the system is the type that likes to be praised?’
Just then, Hu Yan spoke again. "If word about this place gets out, it will definitely cause various powers to fight over it."
Bai Zhi nodded in agreement. "That’s why I don’t plan on revealing it for now. We can make use of it within a small, reliable circle. For example, anyone who has sworn an oath to the Beast God can come. If you have any trusted subordinates, you can send them here for a few hours too."
The people here believed in the Beast God. They might lie to the Emperor, but they would never dare lie to the Beast God. This was why Bai Zhi dared to make use of this place.
