Book 4: Chapter 58:1: The Aggressive Liz, Part 1
Chen Heng received enough points to repair his Precognition in just a minute. Thisâ¦was a sudden huge profit.
He Who Knows Fate: Didnât you guys say you werenât going to buy a cultivation technique? Especially you, @Iron Fist Teacher.
Iron Fist Teacher: About thisâ¦I saw that the cultivation techniques were quite cheap, and the note said I could use it multiple times (five times), except I could not share it with other members using other means, so I bought one for my family.
He Who Knows Fate: Didnât you just buy medicinal pills for extending lifespan?
Iron Fist Teacher: They donât clash. Even if I donât eat those medicinal pills myself, giving them to others is also an excellent option. After all, I live in a normal world with no ridiculous abilities. Such pills are extremely rare, alright?
Chen Heng suddenly felt he had missed a great opportunity.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Thisâ¦He Who Knows Fate, can the immortals of your world crush planetary bodies and explode stars?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He Who Knows Fate: Thatâs right. Why?
Efreet: Ex-explode stars?!
Queen of Ice and Snow: â¦I initially thought it was expensive. It turns out He Who Knows Fate had set a friendship price already.
Lord of the White Night: Right, right. Honestly, the 20,000 points are worth it.
Umaru-chan: Explode stars⦠No. Iâll bankrupt myself to get a cultivation technique!
He Who Knows Fate: Umaru-chan, calm down. Although you can explode a star after becoming an immortal, I donât recommend you buy these in your early stages, as it takes too long to cultivate.
He Who Knows Fate: Furthermore, some worlds have more Spiritual Energy, and some worlds have less. Kalâtsitâs world has plenty of Spiritual Energy, maybe because the limit of the worldâs combat prowess is quite high, and no one uses the Spiritual Energy. Iâm not too sure.
Umaru-chan: Explode starsâ¦explode starsâ¦
Iron Fist Teacher: Thatâs enough. Your planet is crying. Are you dissatisfied with Earth?
Umaru-chan: Noâ¦
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Then grow your ability the proper way. Your ability has great potential.
Umaru-chan: Hahâ¦got itâ¦

Time: 1 p.m.
Location: Penguin Logisticsâs transport vehicle.
People: Chen Heng, Nightingale, Skadi, Exusiai, and Texas.
âDonât worry. I will take good care of Nightâ¦Liz. I promise she will have fun.â
âHave fun!â said Shining to Nightingale.
âDonât worry!â
âHe Who Knows Fate, donât be gone for too long. Iâll wait for you in Rhodes Island. Come back earlier, my seven-star operator. When you return, Iâll get you an Elite 1 promotion.â This was Doctor.
Chen Heng felt the chances of Doctor getting him an Elite 1 promotion were very slim, as Kalâtsit would not permit it.
âDonât worry, Doctor. I wonât be back for a while.â
âSob! Sob! Donât!â
With Texas driving, the five set off for Lungmen.
After the vehicle started, Exusiai, who was in the front passenger seat, suddenly turned her head around and said to Chen Heng, âHe Who Knows Fate, before we go, letâs make this clear first. Do you remember what you said?â
âDonât worry. Even if a monk runs, the temple cannot run. If I run, you can come to Rhodes Island and find me.â Sorry, Kalâtsit. I can only trouble you with this.
âThatâs good. Speaking of which, the tightly wrapped-up one is Doctor, right? She seems reluctant to let you leave.â
âHah! Reluctant? I feel she just wants me to work. She will not let me rest until all 24 points of my Morale are drained. Rather than reluctant, itâs more that she wants my body.â
Chen Heng understood the ugly side of these researcher types, as he was one himself. He knew what fate awaited him if he remained.
ââ¦Is Rhodes Islandâs treatment of their operators that bad?â Exusiai somewhat doubted Chen Hengâs words.
âWhy not? Donât we have an example here?â Chen Heng patted Skadiâs shoulder.
âYou are Skadi, right? Does Rhodes Island really treat their staff this poorly?â Exusiai had been to Rhodes Island several times and had heard of Skadi.
âThisâ¦â Skadi did not know what to say.
âLet me put it this way. Skadi, do you go on another Rhodes Island mission after returning from a mission and resting for just one day?â
âYesâ¦â
âAre those missions difficult? Are the enemies extremely strong for ordinary operators?â
âYesâ¦â
âThatâs it, then.â
âAh! Thisâ¦Initially, our boss wanted us to work with Rhodes Island more, sending operators on exchange. It looks like I will have to raise this with my boss.â
ââ¦Exusiai, I was just joking earlier. Donât believe what I said.â If Exusiai believed Chen Hengâs earlier words and told Penguin Logistics about it, he would be guilty of ruining Rhodes Islandâs cooperation with Rhodes Island. Kalâtsit would chop him up.
âBut Skadi said she only gets to rest for a whileâ¦.â
âThatâs because Skadi does not want to remain in Rhodes Island, so she volunteers to go on missions.â
âBut Skadi faces strong enemiesâ¦.â
âThatâs because Skadi is strong. Do you believe she can easily beat you up like you are a kid? Furthermore, Skadi volunteers.â
âYou were criticizing them so hard earlier, and now you are defending them with all your might. What are you planning?â Exusiai now fully turned around, kneeling on the front passenger seat as she narrowed her eyes at Chen Heng.
âPlanning? Iâm not planning anything. I just donât want Kalâtsit to hunt me down. Making a joke is one thing, but Kalâtsit will not let me off if I ruin Rhodes Islandâs relationship with Penguin Logistics.â
âYou are glib.â
âIndeed, Chen Heng is very glib. After all, he could coax the young me to call him HusâHmmm! Hmmm!â Chen Heng covered Nightingaleâs mouth in mid-sentence.
âLiz, donât. At least not hereâ¦Just tell me if you want anything. Iâll buy them for you when we reach Lungmen. Nod if you agree.â Chen Heng could not let Liz say it. If she did, his reputation would be ruined. Skadi would be fine, and he did not need to worry about Texas. However, Exusiaiâ¦he worried about her, especially since he was planning to run on her.
Chen Heng looked at Nightingale seriously, hoping she would nod and agree. However, he suddenly felt a wet sensation on his palm covering her mouth. Could it beâ¦
