Song Yi retrieved a large bag from her ring, revealing its contents: 400 spar stones.
"According to our agreement, here are the 400 spar," she said, handing the bag to Yuto Saito.
Yuto Saito smiled as he accepted the spar. "Thank you."
Curiosity piqued, Song Yi asked, "What do you plan to do with these spar stones?"
Yuto Saito replied enigmatically, "They'll be useful for something. I'll explain later."
While Song Yi was intrigued, she respected his privacy, choosing not to pry further. A bright smile lit her face. "I'm looking forward to our partnership. If we encounter zombies or monsters that we can't handle, we'll reach out for your support. Don't worry; I promise you won't get shortchanged on spar."
"Absolutely. If you run into trouble, just contact me," Yuto Saito assured her.
"Great! Call on 16 if you need anything," Song Yi said cheerfully. "I'll head back now. If you require supplies, just let me know, and I can help you apply."
"Thank you very much," Yuto Saito responded, appreciating her professionalism.
With a smile, Song Yi turned to leave, heading toward the military off-road vehicle. Yuto Saito watched her go, suddenly recalling that she had a male teammate familiar with the golden bell technique.
Following this thought, he decided to accompany her.
As Song Yi approached, Gao Guang noticed her return and Yuto Saito following closely behind. He quickly exited the vehicle and asked, "Team Song, did everything go as planned?"
Song Yi nodded. "Yes."
Gao Guang gestured toward Yuto Saito. "He's here."
Song Yi turned back, surprised. "Why did you come along?"
Yuto Saito offered a casual excuse. "Since we're partners now, it's only natural to see you off."
As he spoke, Yuto Saito scrutinized Gao Guang, who bore a striking resemblance to Partridge Whistle but appeared much younger.
Using his Analytical Eye, he examined Gao Guang.
[Name: Gao Guang]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: 2]
[Strength: 60] (Average: 10)
[Agility: 60]
[Physical: 60]
[Mental Power: 60]
[Combat Strength: 240]
[Strength Evaluation: 2 stars]
[Talent: Golden Bell Cover LV2 (Can resist attacks 5 stars higher than its own strength; effective against tier 7 zombies, monsters, and seven-star awakened individuals.)]
[Loyalty: 60]
Understanding that loyalty might take time to build in the apocalypse, Yuto Saito approached Gao Guang confidently. "Hello, I'm Yuto Saito."
Gao Guang was slightly taken aback by Yuto Saito's politeness, quickly responding, "Hello, I'm Gao Guang."
Song Yi watched the two handsome men shake hands, a smile spreading across her face. They both exuded charm! Yuto Saito seemed more confident, while Gao Guang's bravery from the previous night shone through in her memory.
As Yuto Saito shook hands with Gao Guang, he discreetly copied the Golden Bell talent.
[Ding! Copy successful, consuming a copy card.]
"If you need anything, just reach out. Stay safe on your journey back," Yuto Saito advised.
Song Yi and Gao Guang exchanged polite smiles before entering the vehicle. The military off-road vehicle rumbled to life and gradually made its way out of the school.
Using his flying ability, Yuto Saito swiftly returned to the floating island.
Upon his arrival, Yu Qi greeted him with a bright smile. "Captain, you're back!"
Noticing Yuto Saito's cheerful demeanor, Natto chimed in, "You seem happy! Did you manage to secure the spar?"
Yuto Saito nodded. "Absolutely. The military's credibility is rock solid; they keep their promises."
Ni Shuang leaned in, her excitement palpable. "Xiao Tutu, how many crystals did you get in total?"
"With the two red sapphires converted into white spar, we have over 600," Yuto Saito replied.
Ni Shuang's eyes sparkled. "With more than 300 spar left, we can expand the floating island's area. This is fantastic!"
Yun Yun, seated on the sofa, glanced up at Yuto Saito with bright eyes before returning to her notes.
Curiosity tugged at him as he leaned closer. "Xiaoyun, what are you writing?"
With a smile, Yun Yun replied, "I'm helping to plan the floating island."
