Chapter 905 Little Water, Does It Count As Water?
After Zhang Ye fell asleep, Fang Wuwei joined the party below. None of them were sleepy, and they laughed and played like crazy. Life can't be all about fighting; he also needed to relax.
Even Ella was dragged in by them. Dansheng Valley sang karaoke with this big cat, and Ella even had a lot of fun, not thinking about tomorrow's work at all. She kept making a ruckus until late at night before the group finally stopped and lay down in the living room, sprawled out and fast asleep.
Arashi didn't return to his sword. He seemed to be truly terrified by the corpse of Nifu, and dared not go back. Now he was curled up in a ball and hibernating in Ikeuchi Maki's arms, reducing his activity to maintain his physical existence. After a while, he even fell asleep as well.
The living room gradually quieted down, and the chirping of insects outside the window seeped in through the gaps in the curtains. It wasn't until Yuta yawned and fell asleep next to Rikka that Fang Wuwei slowly put down the controller in his hand, smiled and stretched, and flicked his hand to open the portal to headquarters.
They were making such a ruckus that it was already getting light outside. Judging by their behavior, they probably wouldn't get up until noon tomorrow. He planned to go to headquarters now to sort out the living soul needed by the Second Body Corpse.
............
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky and the intense midday sunlight streamed into the living room, Yuta and the others reluctantly opened their eyes with a couple of groans.
They hadn't had enough sleep, but the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, along with the sizzling sound of oil, gradually woke them up.
So Yuta propped himself up on the floor and sat up, wiping the drool from his mouth. He thought Ella was making lunch, but when he turned his head, he found that Ella was still being held in Dansuke's arms and was now lazily stretching.
Who's cooking...?
He glanced into the kitchen and found Fang Wuwei and Zhang Ye, who went to bed early and got up early, standing inside. The two were chatting and laughing in front of the stove, but their conversation was drowned out by the low hum of the range hood and the clatter of the frying pan. Yongtai couldn't hear what they were saying.
For a fleeting moment, Yuta felt as if he had slept for ten years, until these two guys were already married and had families before he woke up...
I'm still half asleep... damn it...
He rubbed his face vigorously, shook his head hard, and then stood up, leaning on the sofa for support. He didn't forget to reach out and nudge Rikka and Huixiang-senpai beside him, waking them from their dream.
"Ah, brother, you're awake."
"Um......"
Yuta yawned and wandered around the kitchen, craning his neck to look at the stove in front of the two of them. It was still those strange ingredients that he didn't recognize. The two of them were preparing lunch for them. Although their cooking skills were not as good as Ella's, they were still enough to whet their appetites.
"Hmm... Why are you up so early?"
There was nothing to complain about. Yuta rubbed his stiff arms and looked at Fang Wuwei. This guy had been partying with them until the wee hours last night, and now he was cooking with such energy...
"You didn't sleep all night, did you?"
"It really is."
Fang Wuwei did not sleep at all last night. After Yongtai and the others fell asleep, he went to the headquarters to buy living souls. He had already prioritized feeding the Erfu God Corpse over saving money to refine pills.
After all, the benefits of refining the physical sword spirit of the Second God Corpse are visible, but what will be refined from the molten material is still unknown.
Although the system shop sells living souls, the prices are outrageous. You can only buy 100 high-quality living souls for 10,000 points, which is a drop in the bucket for the two-fold divine corpse and has a very low cost-performance ratio.
Having lived at headquarters for a while, Fang Wuwei understood that the items in the mall were actually very low in terms of cost-effectiveness. Although the quality was guaranteed, the prices were outrageous. Fang Wuwei realized that the items in the mall could only be used in emergencies, and would only be used when one was unable to return to headquarters but urgently needed something.
If you really want something cost-effective, you still have to go back to headquarters to get the goods. Besides, Fang Wuwei isn't worried that headquarters doesn't have living souls. There are a lot of cultivators opening shops in the residential area's commercial street. Not to mention living souls, they can probably even get more sinister vengeful spirits.
However, when he headed straight for the commercial street, he ran into Fang Wuyou there. Wuyou, who had just finished get off work, was shopping with some of her friends, and Lin Kana, who had met Fang Wuwei once before, was also there.
At that moment, Fang Wuyou was chatting with her friends about her gossipy love story and even showed them photos of camphor leaves. She was completely unaware that Fang Wuwei had quietly stood behind her. The expression on her face slowly changed from surprise to a dark one. It wasn't until Lin Kana and the others cast teasing and subtle glances at her that Fang Wuyou belatedly realized that her back had stiffened.
Why...why do you all have that expression?
"you guess?"
Fang Wuwei's voice came from behind. Fang Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly and received a light but not heavy slap on the forehead.
Ever since reuniting with Fang Wuwei, Fang Wuyou has shared a lot about her older brother with her friends. Unfortunately, this time, her gossip was overheard in person.
Fang Wuyou was surprised that Fang Wuwei had returned so soon after leaving, but she was happy and still happily took him out for morning tea. After that, Fang Wuwei's schedule was disrupted.
Fang Wuwei originally planned to buy a living soul for the corpse of Erfu Shen first, and then browse the street stalls to see if he could find any treasures. However, when he heard that he wanted to buy cultivation supplies, a friend next to Fang Wuyou poked his head out.
"Brother, you're a combatant now, right? C-rank? Are you about to be promoted?"
"Yes, I'll be promoted soon, just waiting for the higher-ups to assign me an assessment task."
"If you're not in a hurry, brother, you can just work as a training resource manager in our logistics department after you advance in rank. There's no need to waste this money."
"Oh?"
Fang Wuyou and her friends are all from the logistics department, but they belong to different work departments. Fang Wuyou and Lin Kana are field staff, while the person who spoke to Fang Wuwei was from the materials management department.
Strictly speaking, the other departments of the Crusades served the Combat Division, which is why combat personnel had much higher authority and privileges than other personnel of the same rank.
The logistics department isn't just for cleaning up the messes left by combat personnel. Similarly, they are also responsible for supplying combat personnel with the necessary materials. Once combat personnel reach rank B, they have the right to regularly apply for supplies from the logistics department. The scope of these supplies is very broad, and the living souls that Fang Wuwei needs are naturally included as well.
Although the amount of supplies that can be replenished to a single person at one time is limited in order to prevent abuse, the intervals between replenishments are not long, and it is probably more than enough to feed a second-level divine corpse.
Fang Wuwei had always thought that promotion was just proof of increased strength, which meant that he would have to carry out more dangerous missions. This was the first time he had heard that promotion would bring such substantial privileges. The higher the level of a combatant, the greater their authority. As for other aspects, Fang Wuyou and the others were not very clear. They only vaguely knew that high-level combatants had extremely high authority in the logistics department, so high that they had to do their best to cooperate as long as the request was reasonable.
However, abuse of power can be reported, and the punishment is severe. For example, there was a fool who took advantage of his high level to poach people from the logistics department, wanting to satisfy his unique XP interest by engaging in forced sex. He was reported on the spot, and the combat division's security team arrived three seconds later. After investigating and confirming the facts, he was directly taken to court and sentenced to death.
Although their authority was high, they could not overstep their bounds; the Crusaders were ultimately disciplined.
