I Can Control Resources

"A miracle?" Wu Qingjing and Yutian exchanged a look.

"Yes. I saw it with my own eyes. Gao Neng found three growth sites for attribute materials. And in each of those growth sites, he found two evolved specimens!" Zhang Hongying’s face was flushed.

"Evolved specimens? You’re saying... there were two evolved specimens in each attribute material growth site?" When Wu Qingjing and Yutian heard this, they knew how important the matter was.

"That’s right!" Zhang Hongying affirmed.

"That makes no sense. How could evolved specimens be so easy to find? Are you sure you didn’t see things?" As the Vice Governor of the Underground City, Yutian was naturally aware of how low the production rate of evolved specimens was.

"I’d stake my reputation on it!"

BRRING BRRING.

Just then, Yutian’s communicator rang.

Yutian glanced at it and pressed the answer key.

The voice of a staff member from the Alliance Exchange quickly came through.

"Reporting to Governor Yun! Gao Neng just turned in fifty stalks of raw attribute materials, and among them were three evolved specimens!" The staff member’s voice was filled with excitement.

"Three evolved specimens?" Yutian’s brow furrowed slightly as he glanced at Zhang Hongying.

"Yes, three evolved specimens, all from Zone 93. It looks like the geniuses on the Dragon List have gone a little crazy. A lot of people have gone out today!"

"They all rushed to Zone 93?"

"Yes. Should we send some people to protect them?"

"No need. The more people that go, the safer it will be. I’ll make arrangements for this." Yutian thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"Understood!" The staff member hung up.

Standing to the side, Zhang Hongying had naturally overheard the call.

"There were six in total, two at each growth site. I saw them with my own eyes!"

"Mm. That means Gao Neng hid three for himself. I just don’t understand what that kid plans to do with them," Yutian said, clearly believing Zhang Hongying’s words.

"He’s not planning to sell them on the black market, is he?" Zhang Hongying thought of a possibility but quickly dismissed it. "But the black market prices have always been low, while our buy-back price is higher than the market rate. There’s no point in him doing that."

"Indeed, there’s no point." Yutian nodded, then turned to Wu Qingjing. "Old Wu, you’re more familiar with Gao Neng. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"I can’t guess. But the root of the problem right now is that Zone 93 has somehow produced six evolved specimens. Does this mean there’s some kind of special evolutionary energy inside Zone 93?" Wu Qingjing shook his head.

"Mm, that is a possibility. I’m preparing to send a few people to Zone 93 to take a look... No, I’ll go see for myself!" As Yutian spoke, his expression grew serious.

"I’ve already marked the locations of the three growth sites!" Zhang Hongying said immediately.

"Good. Thank you for your hard work on this trip, Instructor Zhang. You can leave the rest to us."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Hongying withdrew.

But very soon, she began receiving a series of notifications about people heading out.

She opened the location monitor again.

She saw a large number of red dots, representing names, rapidly moving toward Zone 93’s location in the Underground City. And by now, it was already afternoon.

"They’ve gone mad. Truly mad!" Zhang Hongying sighed and didn’t dwell on it. There was no distinction between day and night in the Underground City, since there was no sun.

...

On the road from the Underground City to Zone 93.

Yi Qinglian, Shaximo, and others were also among the crowd.

As the top-ranked genius on the Dragon List, Shaximo actually had many more options. He didn’t necessarily have to eat someone else’s leftovers, especially when that someone was Gao Neng.

But this time, the situation in Zone 93 was far too unusual.

As the saying goes, anything out of the ordinary is cause for suspicion.

In the end, Shaximo couldn’t suppress his curiosity and set out on the road to Zone 93.

The same was true for Yi Qinglian.

Her biggest grudge right now was against Gao Neng. If possible, she would absolutely never want to go to a place Gao Neng had just been.

But the problem was, these were evolved specimens!

Her rating was only A-rank.

Her initial starting points hadn’t been much, and she had already exchanged most of them. Now that she had a chance to harvest evolved specimens, she couldn’t possibly give up this opportunity, no matter how resentful she felt.

"Brother, drive faster! I have to harvest more evolved specimens than Gao Neng this time!" Yi Qinglian could only vent her resentment in another direction.

’Surpass Gao Neng!’

’That will be my victory!’

"I’m already going as fast as I can!" Yi Qingge replied, but he still floored the accelerator, causing the off-road vehicle to let out a roar.

Tonight, Zone 93 was destined to be hit by a tidal wave.

And the creator of this wave, Gao Neng, was at this very moment enjoying a bath in his room with a clear conscience.

Only after he had exchanged his resources did he learn that this bath was actually a process of mixing large amounts of energy materials into the water to constantly nourish and strengthen the body.

If he wanted to reach the Core Burst state, he couldn’t be stingy!

Gao Neng was very generous on this point. After all, he had plenty of points.

He swallowed a few pills.

Combined with the surging energy in the wooden tub’s bathwater, he felt himself sink into a state of ’infinite passion.’

The energy in his body accumulated, gathering toward his magnetic core.

’If I could add some dual cultivation to this Core Burst state... that would be perfect!’ Just as Gao Neng was thinking this, the communicator he had placed to the side vibrated.

He picked it up and saw just three words on the screen.

"Come dual cultivate."

Sender: Shen Ning’Er.

"Okay!" Gao Neng immediately replied.

Speak of the devil.

Gao Neng stood up at once.

"MEOW..." Just as he stood up, Gao Xiaomeng leaped in through the window, just in time to see a stark naked Gao Neng.

"..." Gao Neng.

Their eyes met.

Gao Neng looked at Gao Xiaomeng.

Gao Xiaomeng looked back at Gao Neng.

Then, Gao Neng watched as Gao Xiaomeng’s body gradually grew, rapidly transforming from her cat form into the form of a silver-haired young woman.

She was also stark naked.

And she was walking toward him, step by step.

"What are you doing?" Gao Neng was stunned for a moment.

"Taking a bath, duh," Gao Xiaomeng said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Weren’t you with Fang Tangtang? You didn’t bathe with her?" Gao Neng remembered that Gao Xiaomeng had been with Fang Tangtang for the past two days.

"Have you seen Mom?" Gao Xiaomeng didn’t answer his question. Instead, with a light leap, she jumped into the wooden tub.

"Yeah," Gao Neng nodded.

"You’re not bathing anymore?" Gao Xiaomeng asked again.

"I’m going to dual cultivate. You can bathe by yourself." Gao Neng waved his hand, then quickly put on his clothes and pants.

"Dual cultivation? Is it that amazing?" Gao Xiaomeng blinked her deep blue eyes, her gaze fixed on Gao Neng’s every movement as he dressed.

"Of course," Gao Neng replied casually.

"Then this Queen can give you an opportunity. You can dual cultivate with me," Gao Xiaomeng said after a moment’s thought.

"Hah." Gao Neng scoffed. He, a handsome man, dual cultivate with a cat? ’This Gao Xiaomeng girl really is naive.’

Ignoring Gao Xiaomeng, Gao Neng walked right out the door.

The moment Gao Neng left, arcs of lightning-like light erupted from Gao Xiaomeng’s body, enveloping her like a suit of armor.

In that instant, the water in the wooden tub seemed to transform completely into a mass of blue lightning.

Of course, Gao Neng saw none of this.

He had already slipped into Shen Ning’Er’s room and gone straight up to her second-floor bedroom, where he found Shen Ning’Er sitting on the bed in a black bodysuit.

"Have you bathed?" Shen Ning’Er asked.

"Just did."

"Mm, get on the bed."

"..."

The two quickly entered a state of dual cultivation.

And then, a small figure appeared at the window. Gao Xiaomeng had changed back into her cat form and was sitting on the windowsill, watching Gao Neng and Shen Ning’Er dual cultivating.

After watching for a full half-hour, two beams of light flashed in Gao Xiaomeng’s eyes, intertwining with each other like a pair of dragons.

A moment later, the two beams of light vanished.

...

Fang Tangtang was taking a bath.

Moreover, she liked to hum while she bathed.

Doo doo doo doo...

Doo doo...

As she was humming, a figure stepped into her wooden tub.

"MEOW," a cat’s cry sounded.

"Huh? Gao Xiaomeng, you want to take a bath too? Don’t they say cats are afraid of water? Oh well... I guess you’re not. Let’s bathe together then!" Fang Tangtang was in a great mood today, because Gao Neng had said that she and Shen Ning’Er would also get a share of the raw materials he’d found.

"MEOW MEOW MEOW." Gao Xiaomeng meowed again, waving her two small paws in front of Fang Tangtang.

"You want to play with me?" Seeing this, Fang Tangtang immediately splashed water from the tub onto Gao Xiaomeng’s face.

"MEOW!" Gao Xiaomeng let out an angry cry, shaking her head furiously. Her two deep blue eyes held a look of utter exasperation.

"Hahaha... Again, again!" Fang Tangtang was clearly having a blast. She stood up in the tub with her hands on her hips, about to splash Gao Xiaomeng’s face again.

But just as she pushed her hands forward, Gao Xiaomeng’s two paws met them.

HUM!

A strange energy fluctuation spread out.

Fang Tangtang’s expression changed slightly. When her hands and Gao Xiaomeng’s paws collided, she felt a surging energy.

Most importantly, after that energy entered her body, it actually circulated within her, giving rise to a peculiar feeling.

In that instant, she could almost hear Gao Xiaomeng shouting furiously at her.

"Dual cultivate, you flat-chested loli!!"

"Huh? Dual... dual cultivation? A cat wants to dual cultivate with me, Death God Fang Tangtang?!" Fang Tangtang was startled. She found the whole thing incredibly bizarre.

And yet, she could clearly feel Gao Xiaomeng’s intention.

’Might as well give it a try!’

Two small hands and two cat paws finally, formally, clasped together.

The surging energy circulated endlessly.

A comfortable sound escaped Fang Tangtang’s lips involuntarily.

"Ah... oh..."

She felt as if she were hugging a powerful ball of energy that was constantly nourishing her body, making her feel like her cultivation speed was skyrocketing.

Gao Xiaomeng also seemed to be enjoying it, but amidst her enjoyment, a series of patterns like elemental formulas suddenly appeared in her eyes.

3/1H+2/1H→4/1He...
