I Can Control Resources

It created a self-sustaining resonance within her Spiritual Power. Combined with the existing genetic mutation in her brain, her Spiritual Power almost completely solidified in an instant.

BUZZ!

A long spear manifested and floated out.

It levitated above Shen Ning’Er’s head.

One blade, one spear, balancing each other in mid-air.

"My Spiritual Power... it solidified?" Shen Ning’Er’s body trembled uncontrollably as she sensed the translucent spear above her head.

「Five minutes later.」

Gao Neng awoke from his transcendent state.

The first thing he saw was Shen Ning’Er’s miniskirt, which was soaked with sweat. It clung tightly to her body.

"Guh!" Gao Neng’s eyes went wide. Then, he saw the translucent spear levitating above Shen Ning’Er’s head, and the utter mess the room was in.

’What happened?’

’What did I just do?!’

BAM!

Just then, the door was kicked open.

Fang Tangtang charged in with her hands on her hips.

"Gao Neng, what the hell are you doing? It’s the middle of the night! With all this racket, do you think I, Death God Fang Tangtang, don’t need my beauty sleep?!" Fang Tangtang was furious.

Then, she saw the collapsed bed, the mess all over the floor, and, sitting on said bed, Gao Neng and Shen Ning’Er turning to look at her.

"!!!" Fang Tangtang.

’What a coincidence!’

’She’d actually walked in on a steamy scene!’

’What should I do?’

’Waiting for advice, online now!’

’This is urgent.’

’Should I just pretend I didn’t see anything?’

"I’m going back to my room to take a shower," Shen Ning’Er said as she slowly stood up. She glanced at the collapsed bed. "Gao Neng, after you shower, you can come sleep in my room."

"Okay," Gao Neng nodded. He was also drenched in sweat, and after his breakthrough, he really did need a shower to cool down.

"Huh? You two aren’t done yet?" Fang Tangtang blinked. It wasn’t that she felt ignored, she just figured that after going at it for so long, they should be finished by now, right?

"I’m hungry. I want a midnight snack," Shen Ning’Er said with a slight smile.

"Ooh, me too!" The moment Fang Tangtang heard there was a midnight snack to be had, she forgot about everything else and immediately threw her hands up, ready to join the feast.

"Alright, I’ll have Chen Bai send some over."

"Great, great! I brought alcohol with me. We’re not stopping until we’re drunk tonight!" Fang Tangtang immediately nodded.

"Not until we’re drunk!"

’...’ All Gao Neng could think was that Shen Ning’Er was truly amazing. With just a few simple words, she’d made Fang Tangtang completely docile, unable to stir up any more trouble.

"Meow..." Gao Xiaomeng yawned.

...

The first half of the night was intense.

As for the second half...

By the time Shen Ning’Er had returned to her room and showered, half an hour had passed. Right on cue, Chen Bai came scurrying over, carrying several large platters of food.

Fang Tangtang immediately took out the fine alcohol she had prepared in advance.

So, the second half of the night was destined to be a drunkard’s feast.

Without Chen Bai, of course.

He was only suited for delivering the food, not for eating it with them.

Gao Neng was in high spirits after his breakthrough.

He didn’t even remember when he fell asleep. He only remembered drinking a lot that night. The scary part was, he couldn’t hold his liquor.

So, he got shamefully drunk.

When he woke up the next morning, he found himself on the bed in Shen Ning’Er’s room. Sprawled out next to him were Shen Ning’Er, Fang Tangtang, and Gao Xiaomeng.

As for the room, it absolutely reeked of alcohol.

’Sigh, this lifestyle is so decadent. I can’t let myself sink into this depravity!’ Gao Neng thought as he carefully climbed out of bed. He then gently brushed aside Shen Ning’Er’s long hair.

’Mm, this enchantress is truly beautiful!’

Then, he went downstairs to make some congee. After a night of heavy drinking, something light was definitely better for the morning appetite.

By the time he returned with several large bowls of congee and some side dishes, Shen Ning’Er and Fang Tangtang were already awake.

They washed up.

And ate breakfast together.

...

While Gao Neng, Shen Ning’Er, and the others were happily eating breakfast...

「In a meeting room of the Supreme Council at the Federation Government Building.」

One Speaker and twelve council members had already been in the meeting room for a full hour.

The Federation had been dealing with too many matters recently.

The matter of three hundred Dragon List Geniuses entering the Underground City required extensive arrangements and preparations. As this was a major event concerning the Federation’s future survival, it was naturally the full responsibility of the Federation Council.

Of course, preliminary plans for these matters had already been drawn up in previous meetings.

This meeting was essentially for final confirmation.

What was rather unexpected, however... was that during this hour-long meeting, a newly established experimental project proposal was also finalized, receiving over 90% approval.

This was a rarely seen approval rate.

Moreover, and most importantly, Liang Qi’s faction and Wu Qingjing’s faction had rarely maintained such "cooperation."

The reason was that Liang Qi had no way to disagree.

It wasn’t because Wu Qingjing was personally leading the experimental project, but because Liang Qi himself had been the one to propose the project in the meeting.

Liang Qi’s proposal was a preparatory plan for a great war, which included several measures for the creation and improvement of genetic weapons.

His purpose in making this proposal was, naturally, to lay the groundwork for "certain possibilities" in the future.

But what he hadn’t expected was... that Wu Qingjing would be in strong agreement with his proposal.

Moreover, Wu Qingjing had directly taken the suggestions for the creation and improvement of genetic weapons from his plan and decisively established an experimental project based on them.

And the focus of the research was none other than Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang.

Liang Qi had only one thought on the matter: ’This is completely f***ed!’

Just yesterday, he had been in Wu Qingjing’s office arguing with him about researching Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang. Now, in the blink of an eye, Wu Qingjing was establishing the experimental project himself.

Most importantly, Wu Qingjing had even produced a signed consent form from Gao Neng to participate in the project.

It clearly stated that both Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang were voluntarily participating in the genetic experiment project.

’What the hell?! Has Wu Qingjing’s reach become this incredible? It’s one thing for Gao Neng to agree, but Fang Tangtang too? Don’t tell me he managed to persuade the Celestial King Group?’ Liang Qi truly couldn’t wrap his head around it.

His original intention was to form an alliance with Wu Qingjing.

Then, they would use the Council to pressure the Celestial King Group. Although the Celestial King Group would certainly never agree to let Fang Tangtang become a ’live test subject,’ they might be pressured into handing over data on her hidden talents and genes.

But what was the result?

Wu Qingjing had gone and handled it all himself!

Liang Qi hadn’t even had time to process how Wu Qingjing had managed it before Wu Qingjing immediately proposed they "begin the vote."

At that moment, Liang Qi was internally resistant.

He felt there had to be some hidden conspiracy at play.

So, he prepared to vote against it.

But just then, Wu Qingjing "accidentally" let the list of the genetic experiment project’s team members slip into view, and Liang Qi happened to see a particular name.

’Deputy Leader?!’ Liang Qi was stunned yet again.

’Wu Qingjing actually made him the deputy leader of this experimental project?’

In a moment of distraction... prompted by a look from Wu Qingjing, Liang Qi raised his hand.

And just like that, the matter was settled.

Wu Qingjing would personally serve as the leader of the genetic experiment project team, and Liang Qi would be the deputy leader.

Of course, once the full list of deputy leaders was announced, Liang Qi knew he’d been had. ’That old bastard is still the most cunning of them all!’

’Gao Neng was also a deputy leader?!’

Besides him, there were a few other familiar names.

Team Members: Fang Tangtang, Shen Ning’Er...

’Do these people know anything about creating genetic weapons?’

’This is obviously a setup!’

SLAM! After signing his name on the project initiation document, Liang Qi stormed out, slamming the door behind him. ’How could I, Liang Qi, be so thoroughly defeated by him?’ It was the first time he’d ever felt this way.

’Who the hell gave that old fox this idea?!’
