305.
Xian Moumou beamed with pride. "I'm already at the peak of one-star strength and just need 7 more points to reach two stars!"
Cai Cheng clapped his hands in excitement. "Congratulations, Master!" Liang Fu chimed in, "Brother Xian, your progress is impressive. We can count on you!"
Meanwhile, Tony remained deep in thought, not contributing to the conversation.
Lan Rui turned to him. "Tony, what's on your mind?"
Tony sighed. "I just can't wrap my head around how Nazi became so powerful all of a sudden. It doesn't make sense."
Lan Rui teased him. "You're regretting chasing after Nazi now, aren't you?"
"It's not about chasing her; it's about figuring out how she gained all this strength!" Tony shot back.
Cai Cheng echoed Tony's confusion. "I didn't think she was that strong the last time I saw her."
Liang Fu speculated, "Could it be that Brother Su developed some kind of strengthening potion and gave it to her?"
Xian shook his head. "That's impossible. Brother Su said he needs to find a pharmacist to learn the recipe for a strengthening potion. If he finds one, he wouldn't just leave us hanging."
He continued, "Think about it. Brother Su has saved us three times: first from the face-changing man, then from the mutated fat boy, and most recently from a group of snakes. Nazi was sent by Brother Su to help us. Can't you see how much he cares?"
Lan Rui nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's likely that Nazi awakened a very strong talent."
Xian Moumou added, "This is the first time I've seen someone with flying talent. Perhaps that alone grants significant attribute bonuses."
"That makes sense," Tony agreed.
Liang Fu proposed, "Brother Xian, if we want to establish a gang, we need something that draws people in. Materials alone might not cut it. If we could find a pharmacist and develop a potion for body enhancement, we'd attract a lot of disciples."
Xian Moumou sighed. "The issue is, I already asked my viewers during the last live stream, and none of them have awakened the talent for potion refinement."
Tony encouraged him. "Don't give up; keep searching!"
Xian Moumou decided, "I'll contact Nazi and ask for her help in talking to Brother Su."
"Why not just call Brother Su directly?" Cai Cheng questioned.
Xian Moumou explained, "I don't want to keep bothering him; he might be busy."
Cai Cheng suddenly realized, "Oh, I get it. You're worried he's either fighting monsters or wooing girls and that you'd be interrupting him, right?"
"Exactly," Xian Moumou replied. "Nazi just collected a ton of spar; she's bound to see Brother Su. It makes more sense for her to relay the message."
Liang Fu agreed, "I think it's better for Nazi to convey this too."
Xian Moumou grabbed his phone and called Nazi.
On the other end, her voice came through. "Hey, Xian! Have you switched to spar again?"
Xian replied sheepishly, "No, actually, I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?" Nazi prompted.
Xian explained, "I want to establish Xianmen, but just materials may not attract enough people. I heard Brother Su mention that if we find someone awakened with the talent for potion refinement, we could create body-enhancing potions. If we had those, it would definitely draw in more disciples. I asked my viewers before, but none of them have that talent. Can you tell Brother Su about this?"
"Sure, I'll pass it along," Nazi responded.
"Thanks!" Xian Moumou said gratefully.
Nazi hung up and took a bottle of drink from her ring, quenching her thirst.
Suddenly, her phone beeped. It was a message from Yuto Saito: "Nazi, we've arrived at the back of the school. Come over."
"Okay, I'll be right there," she replied, putting away her phone. With a flutter of her invisible wings, she soared toward the back mountain.
In the girls' dormitory, Hu Tuan'er looked out the window, seeing Nazi flying gracefully. "Xianxian, look! Nazi is soaring through the air!"
Rice Nianxian sighed with admiration. "The Awakened are so powerful; I envy them. I feel like a waste."
Hu Tuan'er tried to console her. "At least we're still alive." Still, she wished she could be as strong as Nazi, but she had no awakened talent, only the capabilities of an ordinary person. This thought brought a shadow of disappointment to her delicate features.
Nazi arrived at the back mountain and spotted the floating island. She took the elevator up and entered the villa. "Captain, sisters, I'm back!" she announced cheerfully.
Ruoruo chimed in playfully, "Nazi, you're amazing! You've added over 5,000 experience points for us all!"
Ju Zi gave Nazi a thumbs-up. "Incredible, Nazi!"
Mina smiled warmly. "You really impressed me this time."
Yuto Saito grinned, "Mina, how did you steal my lines?"
Mina beamed back.
Yu Qi turned to Nazi, a polite smile on her face. "Is this Nazi? Hello!"
Nazi regarded Yu Qi with admiration. "Wow, we have another beautiful woman in our team! You're stunning! Why do I feel like I've seen you before?"
Mina replied, "Yu Qi is a star."
Nazi suddenly recalled, "Oh! I remember! You're Zhao Min!"
Yu Qi chuckled. "That's just a role."
Ni Shuang asked curiously, "Nazi, you must have collected a lot of spar this time, right?"
At this, Nazi eagerly retrieved the spar and presented it to Yuto Saito. "Captain, we harvested a total of 113 spar, along with one ring and 16 healing potions."
Yuto Saito placed the items into the ring and praised, "Nazi, you've done an amazing job. You deserve the most credit for this."
The compliment from Yuto made Nazi glow with happiness.
Ruoruo exclaimed, "Wow! 113 spar! Nazi, you're incredible!"
Yun Yun asked softly, "Did you get those spar from killing the snake group?"
Nazi explained, "I exchanged one piece with a friend named Mo Yaoshi, got 96 from the snake group, and Xian and others gifted me 12 pieces. Zhou Shuyi also traded me 4 pieces."
Yuto Saito nodded approvingly. "Excellent work. If you ever need more supplies, just let me know."
Nazi replied, "For now, we're good on materials. By the way, Xian asked me to inquire about the alchemist. He mentioned he hasn't found anyone awakened with potion-refining talent and asked for our help in locating one."
Yuto Saito considered this. "Yes, as the floating island grows, we'll need more talent. We must recruit at least two people with awakening talent in potion refinement."
Ni Shuang quickly picked up her phone. "I'll post on Weibo asking for help."
Mina joined in. "I'll ask too!"
Yuto Saito turned to Yu Qi. "Yu Qi, you have the most fans; can you help us out?"
"Of course, Captain!" Yu Qi eagerly agreed.
Yuto Saito had saved Yu Qi's life before, and she was always eager to help him.
Yu Qi posted on Weibo: "Hey, everyone! Does anyone here have the awakened talent for potion refinement? If so, please private message me!"
She turned to Yuto Saito, her smile bright. "Captain, I've already posted it!"
Yuto Saito's handsome face broke into a smile. "Excellent work! Your efficiency is impressive!"
Yu Qi beamed with joy. "I'm happy to contribute to the team!"
