Chapter 80: Chapter 71: Chloe’s Time Management and the Enchanting Demon Nightclub
The specific methods of the Titan Race will probably have to wait until the practical class, or the next time I take Rephya down to the Maze to handle.
He discovered yesterday while taking a bath that there’s something new on his upper body.
It looks a bit like the tattoo of Orochi from SNK’s King of Fighters.
When he channels lightning, those tattoos seem to activate, with a faint azure energy swirling around them.
Whoa.
He didn’t get a chance to experience the colored contact lens era of village brawls, but instead, he’s stepped early into the non-combustible tattoo era, huh?
However...
"Looks pretty cool!"
Especially the moment he picked up the Thunderous Battle Halberd, with lightning entwining his body, truly feeling the heroic spirit of lifting mountains with overwhelming might.
"Damn, my bed."
He lost focus for a moment, and the flashing electric light instantly ignited the bed sheet.
He had to quickly cast some Water Magic to put out the flames.
But by doing so, the sheets got soaked, making them uncomfortable to sleep on.
Seeing November approaching, with the Ethereal Emblem’s weather, it might not be possible.
Chloe had a small brainstorm and found a place to temporarily stay.
Of course, it was Master Nini’s little cabin...
Just kidding.
It’s definitely going to Fat Daniel’s dorm to manage for a bit, right?
And conveniently, he could drag them for a drink and some barbecue.
Yet he kept feeling like he forgot something.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and sent a message.
"Sister Fufu, what are you up to?"
Fufu: "Who are you?"
Chloe: "Don’t be angry, really needed some help from Lilith earlier."
He paused for a few seconds.
Moments later, the phone rang.
He took a look, it was Sister Fufu.
Upon answering, he said:
"Sister Fufu, what’s up?"
"Did something happen to you?"
Fufu’s voice sounded a bit worried.
Chloe’s heart felt warm, saying softly:
"It’s related to the Evil God’s Followers, needed someone to deal with it, already got help."
"No aftermath, right?"
"No, their organization got uprooted. But let’s not talk about this, Sister Fufu, what are you doing?"
"Taking a bath."
The next moment, the sound of the shower head became clear.
Chloe was moved.
But still, with a cheerful grin, said: "Calling me while showering."
He’s a smart guy; taking a step back at this moment to advance better was the strategy.
So he immediately "admitted fault" and said softly:
"Sis, sorry for not going with you for dinner earlier."
Summary: Admit fault first.
"But I couldn’t feel easy without closing the Evil God’s Followers’ matter."
Summary: Explain the reason for not accompanying her.
"The principal asked me to rest well today, but I’m so bored, I want to go out with Sister Fufu."
Summary: First act pitiful, then express the wish to meet.
"I miss you."
Chloe’s earnest words pierced the heart like the final strike.
With this move, not only did he provide a step down the ladder, but he also fulfilled emotional support.
Sure enough, the sound of the showerhead stopped, and Fufu’s shy yet expectant voice came through:
"Today? Is this a date invitation?"
"Is that what Sister Fufu would prefer?"
"I’m definitely not saying I won’t go."
"Then it’s definitely a date invitation, Sister Fufu, let’s go on a date."
"But not today." Fufu said with playful laughter, "I have school stuff today."
Chloe sighed: "Is that so? What a pity."
"Pitiful indeed, who’s to blame but you for not accompanying me last time, but..." She hummed lightly, "I should be very bored in three days, will you be bored then?"
Chloe said surprised, "Not tomorrow?"
Fufu chuckled and said:
"Tomorrow, both you and I have to take new students down to the Maze, or are you considering a group date?"
Sophomore and junior outstanding students sometimes take on tasks to guide new students.
While they can choose to decline, usually no one does.
This is due to the benefits involved.
Completing school tasks earns points.
These points can be exchanged for unique Ethereal Emblem products, offering great value.
It’s even said that once you leave the Ethereal Emblem, obtaining these resources again isn’t as easy.
Both Chloe and Fufu wouldn’t refuse such tasks.
Now the question arises, was Chloe unsure?
"Oh right, totally forgot about taking people to the Maze tomorrow."
Nothing was said.
Yet it seemed everything was said.
The young students were exciting, Xiaoke was strong, Chloe was both tall and strong.
A girl like Sister Fufu, who loved to fantasize, would naturally interpret it.
[He couldn’t wait even a moment]
For the attentive Fufu, such words actually caused her to feel a bit of guilt.
Even felt somewhat sorry for not managing to go out with Chloe today.
Sure enough.
Fufu hesitated a bit and said: "Then, how about after taking the new students back, Chloe, we go out together?"
"Sounds good!"
It was just a playful nature that made her act annoyed, more like a flirtation between male and female.
But Chloe’s words made her dizzy, with no thoughts to consider a certain question—
Bringing the newbies back, at least takes two days, right?
Even coming back early would be in the afternoon, if later, maybe even late at night.
Going out afterwards, who knows what might happen.
After managing his calendar, Chloe immediately set out.
He went to the Enchanting Demon Nightclub.
As everyone knows, nightclubs aren’t necessarily open only at night.
His purpose this time was to soak his feet, rub his legs, crack his back, and then...
To let the Enchanting Demons assist in treating his rather poor mental state.
Let’s be reasonable.
Having endured so many simulated memories, and with the Abyss whispering in his ear for so long, he desperately needed someone skilled in mental treatment to help him.
For instance, the Enchanting Demons from the Abyss, after being artificially domesticated, were actually providing legitimate services.
Fat Daniel’s approach, treating it like a wet dream, was the wrong path.
More Extraordinary individuals used Enchanting Demons to treat the pollution after absorbing Extraordinary Traits.
The Enchanting Demons were never ones to refuse.
Not only were they not picky, they’d even say, "Good brother, you can come more often."
This was premium food.
The Enchanting Demons truly loved it.
They just couldn’t take too much at once, otherwise, they would be overwhelmed too.
Thus, a strange scene soon appeared in the Enchanting Demon Nightclub.
"No, sir, I can’t take it anymore!"
This was a newbie, thinking she could swallow the pollution whole, now collapsed on the ground.
"Spare me, I can’t eat any more, not even a bit."
This was a top-tier veteran, overwhelmed by the pollution from Chloe’s mind.
"Tastes like mother’s cooking (confused)."
This was the shop’s elite tea, keenly aware of Chloe’s mental pollution, seemingly from the Abyss.
Then not long after, he was reported by the owner.
The reason was suspicion he was one of the Abyssal Believers.
Fortunately, when the investigators came, they turned and left.
They didn’t know the specifics but had heard that there was a student at school who participated in the Demigod Battle against the Evil God’s Followers.
They asked their superior who would have such audacious soldiers?
The superior told them it was a healer.
The investigators asked how to identify this student.
The superior replied, just see that face and you’d know.
No one believed it.
Until meeting Chloe, they understood.
...
After spending some effort explaining the situation and causing the signboard of an entire Enchanting Demon Nightclub to collapse, he finally felt less mental pressure.
Just as he found a place to eat, he received a call from Rephya.
Huh?
How did Xiaolu work up the courage to call him?
As soon as he answered, Rephya’s nervous voice came through:
"Se-senior, are you busy today?"
"Busy." Chloe glanced at the snacks and milk tea on the table and said casually, "Xiaolu, is there something wrong?"
"I-I have some things I’d like to consult with you about, can I meet with you, I can come to you directly!"
Chloe looked at the name of the restaurant he ate at for the first time, then said:
"How about this, you go to XX restaurant and wait for a bit, I’ll come find you when I’m done."
"Okay."
Rephya’s voice became cheerful and excited.
Chloe quickly finished the cake on the table and asked the shop to keep the best-tasting pistachio mille-feuille in the fridge for a while.
Then he ordered a blueberry mojito.
It was one of Rephya’s favorite foods in the game.
Of course, at this point in time, she hadn’t developed that taste yet.
Not long after, Chloe saw Rephya jogging over.
She was wearing athletic shorts, showing off her fair, long legs.
A black, tight-fitting outfit outlined her slightly immature upper body curves.
Apparently, she had run in a bit of a hurry, her chest rose and fell slightly, with a silver single ponytail bouncing up and down.
"Rephya, over here."
Chloe waved at her.
Rephya froze.
Then obediently walked over.
Chloe pulled out a chair for her, and Xiaolu sat down shyly, then said quizzically:
"Didn’t you say you’d come find me after you’re done?"
Chloe supported his chin with one hand, smiling, and said:
"I sped up to finish, couldn’t keep you waiting long."
Busy eating all this food, it was hard work, he’s not Fratiss after all.
Saying this, a trace of emotion flashed in Rephya’s eyes.
A moment later, she exclaimed happily:
"Senior, I think my talent seems to be showing signs of recovery."
She was naturally speaking of her talent, the Holy Bone.
Chloe heard this and his eyes widened slightly.
The backup plan he left behind actually managed to repair the Holy Bone somewhat?
This was a good thing.
Xiaolu becoming stronger means he can try more things in the simulation.
Currently, many operations treat Rephya as a mere simulation tool.
Did he not want to collaborate with Rephya?
Of course not.
It’s just that Rephya was still floundering in the mire.
This kind of Xiaolu couldn’t partake in high-level fights.
He genuinely chuckled:
"This is a good thing, a great thing indeed."
Then, the server’s voice came.
"Sir, your dishes are ready, what about the cake you ordered?"
"Bring it up."
Chloe handed the blueberry mojito and pistachio mille-feuille to Rephya across from him, and then said:
"Their blueberry mojito and pistachio mille-feuille, I’ve tried them before, they’re quite good."
Before, as in 20 minutes ago.
Rephya accepted them openly, took a sip through the straw, and her eyes started to shine:
"Senior, it’s delicious!"
"As long as you like it. Did you call me out to get some advice?"
He lowered his head to cut the steak in front of him into small pieces.
Rephya nodded and said:
"Although I’m not fully recovered, my Extraordinary Power is returning.
I wanted to ask, after spending more than a year here, do you know which mentor is best at unlocking physical potential?"
"Yes, Xiaolu, are you afraid of hard work?"
In Rephya’s surprised gaze, Chloe pushed the cut steak over.
"Huh, aren’t you going to eat, Senior?"
Rephya didn’t immediately ask about the mentor, just looked at Chloe curiously.
"These are all for you."
After all, he was already full.
