Chapter 148

"The Extreme Cold Ice Lotus isn't here with us—it's in the headquarters' warehouse. If we send it over, it'll take about two or three days."

"In the meantime, we'll have to trouble Comrade Zhou to wait here for a few more days."

"Don't worry—during these days, if you feel bored, we can assign someone to accompany you into the mountains to hunt beasts."

Having successfully met Zhou Yi's request, Wang Liang couldn't help but smile.

He even began arranging Zhou Yi's upcoming schedule.

He had already thought it through.

When he returned, he'd call over all the children in his legion who were around Zhou Yi's age.

That way, they could get to know each other, and he could assign people to protect them as they hunted beasts together in the mountains!

Build up some good feelings and establish a solid relationship with Zhou Yi.

When the other grows into a top-tier powerhouse, maybe he could even benefit by association.

This move was absolutely perfect!

"Our school's Freshman Competition starts the day after tomorrow—I have to return to campus tomorrow."

"Deputy Commander Wang, is there a way to have the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus delivered directly to my dorm room?"

Zhou Yi asked without thinking.

The Freshman Competition determines dorm assignments and resource allocation afterward.

If he could participate, he absolutely would.

"Freshman Competition? Oh, I forgot—you're just a new student."

Wang Liang slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.

Because of his outstanding performance in the Stormwind Mountains two days ago, and his ever-present calm expression,

he kept mistaking Zhou Yi for a second- or third-year student at Suzhou University.

He'd simply forgotten the man had only just enrolled...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of awe.

At this point, even the top universities' freshmen should still be training hard on campus.

Yet Zhou Yi had already begun slaying alien creatures in the Stormwind Mountains, facing down an entire legion alone...

"Delivering it to your dorm is no problem, but after the Freshman Competition, everyone's dorms are reassigned based on ranking."

"Then what if your dorm changes?"

Wang Liang asked, puzzled.

He himself had attended Qingjing University, one of the other three top-tier universities.

And the training methods of these three top universities—including Suzhou University—were nearly identical...

They all had Freshman Competitions, and all allocated resources and dorms based on strength rankings.

With Zhou Yi's current strength, his ranking will rise sharply after the Freshman Competition!

"It won't change. Just deliver it to Dorm 001 in Suzhou University's District Six."

Zhou Yi smiled faintly.

He wouldn't give up the top spot among freshmen.

"Dorm 001? So you're already the top freshman."

"Alright, then I'll deliver it directly to your dorm."

Wang Liang nodded in understanding.

With Zhou Yi's current strength, he could sweep the entire competition!

So he wasn't worried about whether Zhou Yi could hold onto his top rank.

"By the way, due to confidentiality requirements, your performance here hasn't been reported to your school yet."

"Once things here are nearly settled, I'll personally arrange an award letter and send it to your school!" Wang Liang added.

Holding off an entire One trip to another world legion single-handedly—

In the military, that's a major achievement!

There would be material rewards, plus a Combat Merit Medal.

Though Zhou Yi wasn't military, an award letter was still necessary.

"Thank you for your kindness, Deputy Commander Wang, but I only need the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus—the award letter isn't necessary."

Zhou Yi quickly waved his hand.

Come on.

An award letter was far too conspicuous.

He didn't want the entire campus to take notice of this.

"Alright," Wang Liang nodded, respecting Zhou Yi's choice.

Afterward, Wang Liang chatted with Zhou Yi for a while longer.

In his words, he showed great admiration for Zhou Yi.

When leaving, he even left his contact information.

He said that if Zhou Yi ever encountered anything in the Stormwind Mountains he couldn't handle alone, he should feel free to reach out.

By the time Wang Liang left, it was nearly ten at night.

"Phew—I spent over a month searching the Stormwind Mountains and found not a trace of the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus.

He just flicks his finger, finds it, and promises delivery in two or three days."

Closing his door, Zhou Yi exhaled slowly, unable to help but feel awed.

Of course...

He also knew that without his performance in the Wild Wind Mountains,

the other party would never have been so enthusiastic.

In fact, being allowed to accept the Priest Team's treatment would have been considered good enough.

"There are still two hours until twelve o'clock; let's finish today's daily tasks first."

Glancing at the time, Zhou Yi dared not slack off.

He immediately began his push-ups, standing jumps, and other training exercises.

Since he had already recovered from the debilitated state, he did not want to waste another System daily task reward.

Supply Base Building.

Room 803 on the same floor as Zhou Yi.

As the most luxurious room suite within the Supply Base,

the room area was extremely large, about 260-plus square meters, with a total of three bedrooms and a large living room.

Besides that, exquisite decorations were displayed everywhere throughout the room.

On the coffee table in the living room, seasonal fruits were also prepared at all times.

"Whoosh—"

The Yushi Sect door nearby opened, and a long-haired young girl who had just finished washing and brushing stepped out.

She wore simple short-sleeved pajamas that outlined her graceful figure.

Under the pajama shorts, her pair of thighs were round and long, Bai Xi like jade.

Her facial features were delicate and exquisite, and her appearance naturally emitted a faint aura of coldness.

Because of the existence of this aura, her entire person looked somewhat cold and desolate.

After stepping out of the bathroom, she used the hairdryer on the nearby counter to completely dry her wet, beautiful hair before taking steps toward the living room.

Generally, a room in the Supply Base would be considered good if it had 20 square meters; there would be no such thing as a living room at all.

But as a luxury suite, this room not only had a living room but was a full 80 square meters!!

Besides the huge television projection,

there were also a coffee table and a sofa.

The sofa was semi-circular, and at this moment, four young women were sitting on it.

These young women were not old, appearing to be only around twenty years of age.

Among them, one had a head of purple-black long hair, wore a lively smile on her face, and was chatting and laughing with a petite young girl beside her.

And next to these two was a pair of adorable sisters with extremely similar looks, each with a different hairstyle.

This group was none other than the Qing Yuan Squad that had just left Zhou Yi's room.

"The captain is out!"

"Captain, you're finally out!"

"..."

Seeing the cold and desolate young girl approach, the four women on the sofa, as if they had conspired, gathered around.

"What? Is something wrong?"
