Ailian.” Leikain cleared his throat as a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft... Even if that’s the reason, considering the average combat power of both teams, it’s a reasonable arrangement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina smiled sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she not see through Ailian’s little scheme? But this allocation was indeed logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Kelin and Lina’s combat power is roughly level 2; Ailian and Leikain are at level 3, hence the assessment of balance.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has to be said that the plot of Zer0 is truly excellent, but you don't feel it until the second viewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Ye Qingfeng's estimated combat power is around level five; considering stamina, he can pass through a Level 4 Wraith without taking damage, though he'll expend most of his stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak combat power in Zer0 so far is likely Xingjian Ya at level six, even without unleashing her demonic blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback is that there are too many ambiguous elements and foreshadowing, which isn't very friendly to fan authors...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combat balance? So in Victoria’s household, who’s the strongest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Ye, you team up with Ailian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina clasped her hands together beside her cheeks, elbows pressed against the black Slime, and blinked at Ye Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Master Rope-Crafter, you join me and Leikain—is that alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every gesture exuded elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Ye Qingfeng, Lina’s unintentional movements carried an added touch of cuteness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ling, is that fine with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng did not immediately agree; he lowered his head to ask Ling’s opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!” Ies nodded, then let out a pitiful whine, “Don’t ignore my question! Who can answer what I just asked?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina took Ies from Ye Qingfeng’s hands; upon noticing this, Leikain immediately called out, “Alright everyone, let’s move out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Leikain turned and walked away with Lina, while Ies, squeezed between the black Slime, wore a conflicted little expression—pained yet delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay nestled in Lina’s arms, eyes half-closed in bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life is just like this~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng watched the two depart, then led Kelin and Ailian toward the electrical room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he pondered Ling’s earlier question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though lacking concrete data, he leaned toward Ailian being stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailian is unquestionably near the upper tier of level 3—a pentagonal warrior: strength, speed, aether resistance, defense, and constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Ye Qingfeng, her only weakness is stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he must compare himself to Ailian directly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng could only say that outside the Hollow, Ailian stands a chance against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Hollow, with access to aether, he could easily reach level 5—and still not his combat peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stamina and aether affinity are the conditions for further advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current aether affinity at 20%, he could fully reach level 5 at 40%, and level 6 at 60%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, every additional 20% raises his level by one, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 100% aether affinity, his estimated combat power would be around level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(There’s another setting—the author doesn’t recall if it was mentioned—that after level 4, the gap between each level is enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, level 2 combat power can instantly kill or defeat level 1 Hae without taking damage, and this pattern continues—this is the key standard for rating.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Ye Qingfeng was lost in thought, the trio arrived at the door of the electrical room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly assigning tasks, they moved swiftly; during the work, Ailian unusually did not slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ailian working energetically, Ye Qingfeng turned to help Kelin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he looked back, he witnessed Kelin’s terrifying strength and retracted his arm in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such a frail frame contain such immense power? Ye Qingfeng admitted he couldn’t understand it—and silently accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Kelin needed no help, Ye Qingfeng turned back to assist Ailian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly fifteen minutes, they finally completed the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailian, seeing it was over, hurried to the wall, pulled a candy from her pocket, popped it into her mouth, and closed her eyes to recover stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kelin, are you tired? Come sit for a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng, seeing Ailian find a resting spot, called out to Kelin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, Young Master Ye should rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin waved gently, declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit with me a while—the space is plenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng shifted sideways, revealing a metal box covered in newspaper behind him—perfect for two people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat first, moved his body to clear space, and waved Kelin over. “Kelin, come sit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! O-okay...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin moved to sit beside Ye Qingfeng, knees pressed tightly together, hands resting on her lap, shoulders hunched, eyes fixed on her toes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She curled herself as small as possible, leaving ample space for Ye Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng clearly noticed this; he turned to look at Kelin. She sensed his gaze and lowered her head even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh... don’t look at Kelin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng raised an eyebrow at Kelin’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just social anxiety—she was terrifyingly shy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she sat beside Lina, she seemed perfectly normal; only when he sat down did she become timid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s normal—this was only their third interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, Kelin coming over at all is already impressive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kelin, you can sit a little closer,” Ye Qingfeng said as softly as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-no, this is fine for Kelin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin stammered in refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But won’t that be uncomfortable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m used to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin didn’t lift her head, shaking it slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng hadn’t expected Kelin to be so unyielding—he was momentarily frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just empty words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decisively changed tactics: if soft approaches failed, he’d try force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But too direct might make her run off again, like last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed force—with a little trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kelin, I’m a guest, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s tone returned to normal, even carrying a hint of firmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-yes...” Kelin whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t Leikain say you must look a guest in the eye when speaking to them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng crossed his legs, rested his elbow on his knee, clenched his fist under his cheek, and turned to stare directly at Kelin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He did! I’m sorry, Kelin forgot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin started to rise, bowing rapidly in double apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept bowing and apologizing frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Tap the button to request updates.
