I Can Control Resources

"Hong Ying, have you lost your mind? Why would I blast rocks?" Yutian looked at Zhang Hongying with a strange expression. A certain person actually came to his mind.

Wang ChaCha!

He heard Wang ChaCha had been studying neurology recently.

If Zhang Hongying was really having mental problems, he wouldn’t mind having Wang ChaCha come over and give her a check-up.

"Governor Yun, I’m not crazy. What I mean is..." Zhang Hongying explained in great detail to Yutian how Gao Neng had made Fang Tangtang blast the rocks with the No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon yesterday.

And every time she did,

a pile of attribute raw materials would appear from behind the rock.

"So, you’re saying that the attribute raw materials in the Forbidden Zones are actually hidden under the rocks?" Yutian’s brow furrowed after he heard this.

"Yes. Another explanation is that the evolutionary energy is under the rocks, which would mean the attribute raw materials are there as well," Zhang Hongying replied.

"If that’s really the case, the development of our Human Alliance might be about to enter a new era!" a powerful expert standing next to Yutian exclaimed.

"A new era isn’t so easily entered! Besides, it’s too early to draw conclusions based on this alone. However, for the future of the Human Alliance, we have to try, even if there’s only the slimmest of chances! Everyone, go back and prepare demolition tools. We’ll head out in an hour, on the dot. This time, we’re going to Forbidden Zone 118, and we’re going to level it!" Yutian finally made his decision.

"Understood!"

"..."

「...」

That night, Forbidden Zone 118 was clearly about to face another disaster.

But Gao Neng knew nothing about this.

He was taking a bath.

As for why he was taking a bath, let’s explain in detail: for relaxation, for enjoyment, for cultivation, for luxury, for whiteness...

In short, this was life.

After inspecting the attribute materials, it was time to eat. After eating, it was time for a bath. After the bath, he would find Shen Ning’Er for some dual cultivation. This was how life was meant to be lived.

"I’m a genius, and a handsome man. I’m a genius *and* a handsome man..." Gao Neng was in a great mood, humming a tune as he bathed.

Then, he felt as if someone was standing behind him.

’Did Gao Xiaomeng come back again?’

’Her timing is impeccable, always picking when I’m in the bath.’

Gao Neng couldn’t even be bothered to turn his head. Gao Xiaomeng was like a cat, silent when she walked. Plus, she loved climbing through windows. Perhaps that was just a cat’s nature.

’She’s probably going to jump in and bathe with me again.’

’Whatever!’

’I’ll let her have her way this once.’

’Otherwise, it’s not good if Gao Xiaomeng keeps running off to Fang Tangtang’s place. What if she has a change of heart? Xu Zilan did tell me to take good care of Gao Xiaomeng.’

"Don’t just stand there. Come on in and wash up." Gao Neng leaned his head back, found a comfortable position, and gestured casually with his hand to the empty spot in front of him.

"..." Li Tiannan.

He looked very seriously at Gao Neng, whose back was turned to him, and then glanced instinctively at the half-empty space in Gao Neng’s bathtub.

In that instant, Li Tiannan recalled the last time he had seen Gao Neng.

Tipping a male streamer!

And dropping hundreds of millions at once!

He was a true whale.

Thinking of this, Li Tiannan suddenly felt his butthole clench. ’Could it be? Does my own apprentice really have this kind of... special hobby?’

Li Tiannan sighed.

’Indeed, a man has to know how to protect himself when he’s out and about.’

But he had seen and experienced far too much over the years. Plenty of people had hobbies far more peculiar than Gao Neng’s. It wasn’t as if he would expel Gao Neng from the sect over such a minor flaw.

’Huh? She didn’t jump in... No, wait. It’s a sneak attack!’ Gao Neng hadn’t felt any movement. A flicker of curiosity was instantly replaced by a sudden realization.

The person who came in wasn’t Gao Xiaomeng.

If it were Gao Xiaomeng, she would have decisively leaped into the tub with a "meow" after hearing him, but this person was clearly hesitating.

’Barging into my room at a time like this...’

’It must be a sneak attack and kidnapping.’

After all, he was currently carrying several Attribute Elixirs.

Gao Neng wouldn’t attack someone without provocation, but he always kept his guard up. So, the instant this thought appeared in his mind, he leaped violently from the tub and swung the entire thing down behind him.

Li Tiannan was just pondering how to set Gao Neng ’straight’ when he suddenly saw a tub come crashing down on his head, along with a torrent of bathwater.

"You brat, how dare you!" Li Tiannan roared. His eyes widened, and all the bathwater froze in mid-air, as if time had stopped.

In an instant, it turned into shards of ice.

Gao Neng felt a wave of cold wash over him. The air in the room plummeted from harsh winter to absolute zero in a flash, and even the water clinging to his body was no exception.

And so, he became a human popsicle.

Of course, it was only the outside that was frozen.

Li Tiannan had held back; he wouldn’t actually hurt Gao Neng.

Even so, Gao Neng paused in mid-air for a moment before crashing headfirst to the ground, the ice on his body shattering everywhere.

"Ah, so it’s you, Master! Why are you sneaking around like a ghost without knocking?!" Gao Neng bounced back up the instant he hit the floor.

It was as if he was completely unscathed.

Li Tiannan stared, stunned for a moment.

Although he had deliberately controlled his power, Gao Neng was only a Sixth-Order. To be frozen like that and then just get right back up... it was something of a miracle.
