Chapter 23: The Spirit Realm is Finally Here!



"Sure, we can team up!" Zhao Zheng replied with a smile, "But you have to follow my lead."

Song Haitang, wanting to make up for Zhao Zheng's loss, was now willing to go along with whatever he said without any further complications.

So, when Zhao Zheng spoke, she agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

"First, regarding the team size, it's limited to just you and me." Zhao Zheng smiled and asked, "Can you agree to that?"

It wasn't that Zhao Zheng was unwilling to include other classmates.

He had his own considerations.

Additionally, Zhao Zheng's goal was the extra reward! This reward would have to be shared with teammates, and having two more people would reduce Zhao Zheng's gains.

Upon hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Song Haitang's pretty face immediately showed hesitation.

However, she didn't hesitate for long before nodding in agreement:

"Okay, then it's just the two of us."

Earlier, in class, she had declared that she would definitely include Zhao Zheng in her team, which had significantly reduced the number of students willing to team up with her.

Everyone unanimously believed that Zhao Zheng was an extremely burdensome teammate! Although Song Haitang's Burn Burn Fruit was powerful, it would only become formidable in the future, and currently, the difference in their abilities wasn't significant. Having Song Haitang alone on the team wouldn't provide much assistance.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, many students no longer considered Song Haitang as a desirable teammate.

The remaining male students who were willing to team up with her almost all had ulterior motives and were after Song Haitang herself.

The girl felt that it was better to not have such teammates.

"Alright, the team is decided then."

Zhao Zheng revealed a smile.

His sudden agreement to team up with Song Haitang was a spontaneous idea.

In short, he wanted to use Song Haitang as his "shield"! Since the Spirit Realm could reveal everyone's results, going there alone and obtaining an extremely high reward would raise suspicions.

But with Song Haitang by his side, it was a different story.

After all, Song Haitang possessed the Burn Burn Fruit, placing her in the realm of geniuses.

Geniuses are expected to excel, right?

Even with a burden on the team, they could still achieve greatness! Once they returned, as long as Zhao Zheng attributed all the credit to Song Haitang, he could continue to hide and remain inconspicuous!

As for fame...

When he becomes invincible, fame and fortune will follow!

"Oh, right!"

Just as Song Haitang was about to leave, Zhao Zheng suddenly remembered something important.

He asked, "Haitang, do you have money?"

This question caught Song Haitang off guard, but she honestly nodded.

"Yes."

Her father was also an Extraordinary Being and the chairman of the Extraordinary Association, so her family's financial situation was undoubtedly excellent.

At the very least, it was much better than Zhao Zheng's family.

"How much money do you have on your card right now?"

"I'm not sure about the exact amount, but before coming to school, my father gave me some money, plus my savings from childhood... In total, I have around one million yuan!"

Wow!

A little rich girl!

One million yuan wasn't a significant sum, but it was still quite rare for a student.

It could only indicate that her family's financial situation was quite comfortable.

"Can you lend me 500,000 yuan?"

Zhao Zheng asked, then assured her, "Don't worry, I'll write you an IOU. I'll definitely pay it back."

"There's no need for an IOU, I trust you." Song Haitang casually replied, then asked, "Is 500,000 yuan enough? If not, I can transfer one million yuan to you! It's just sitting in my account, and I don't need it anyway."

For Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng asking for money was truly a minor matter.

The value of the Burn Burn Fruit couldn't be measured even by a hundred million yuan.

One million yuan was nothing to her, and she wasn't lying; the money in her account was just collecting dust in the bank, and she had no use for it.

"Um... sure!"

Zhao Zheng wasn't quite used to the girl's generosity.

It was the first time he had encountered someone so willing to lend money.

Suddenly, he felt that Song Haitang had many admirable qualities.

Beautiful appearance, kind-hearted, and generous!

Most importantly, Song Haitang, unlike those other little fairies, doesn't have a princess's fate but has the attitude of one, thinking that men should revolve around them.

Song Haitang's personality, aside from being a bit stubborn, truly surpasses those other fairies in every other aspect.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng became increasingly satisfied with Song Haitang.

She was the perfect candidate for a "shield."

"Send me your card number."

The girl didn't beat around the bush. As soon as she received Zhao Zheng's card number, she transferred the money without hesitation.

It didn't take long.

Zhao Zheng received the notification of a million-dollar deposit.

...

After getting the money.

In the following days.

Zhao Zheng became busier.

He first spent over four hundred thousand to directly purchase a small apartment near the school, then ordered a deluxe version of the sunbathing machine and moved it into the apartment...

It took him a full ten days to settle all this.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Mostly because the procedures for buying a house and ordering the sunbathing machine all required time.

At first, Zhao Zheng also considered putting the sunbathing machine directly in the school dormitory.

However, this thought was immediately dismissed by him.

Because it would be too troublesome.

The deluxe sunbathing machine was genuinely massive, comparable to a bed!

It wouldn't be easy to sneak something this big into the dormitory, and it would be very eye-catching.

Moreover, the deluxe sunbathing machine also consumed a significant amount of electricity.

Zhao Zheng didn't want to deal with electricity bill issues and have the dorm manager constantly questioning him.

It was better to move out and live elsewhere.

Anyway, the school didn't prohibit students from living off-campus.

In fact, students with the means had almost all bought properties nearby and were living off-campus.

This allowed them to release their desires! The pressure they faced, exploring the edge of life and death in the Spirit Realm every month, was unimaginable.

If they couldn't find an outlet for their desires, it would be easy for people to develop mental issues.

It wouldn't be appropriate to mess around in school.

But no one would care if they did it outside...

Time.

It was the last day of May.

Morning.

Zhao Zheng woke up in the sunbathing machine...

Ever since buying this thing, he had been using it as his bed, sleeping inside it.

Although constantly sunbathing didn't increase his attributes, it kept his body in an excellent state!

The first thing he did after waking up was to check his attributes:

Race: Human.

Constitution: 290

Spirit: 95

Strength: 290

Agility: 290

Talent: Kryptonian Heritage.

Psychic Points: 0

Explosive attributes!

As a newcomer who hadn't entered the Spirit Realm yet, his attributes were undoubtedly outstanding.

The meta human physiology was fantastic!

Tomorrow, he would enter the Spirit Realm.

And tomorrow, he could gain attributes again!

By then, Zhao Zheng would have three attributes over 300.

If there weren't any powerful monsters in the first layer of the Spirit Realm, don't blame him for going crazy...

After freshening up.

He had breakfast downstairs and then headed towards school.

When he arrived at the classroom, it was right on time.

The bell for class rang.

Then, Old Chu followed and entered the classroom.

"Tomorrow is the day you enter the first layer of the Spirit Realm, so after class, don't go to the training gym. Rest well for a day and enter the Spirit Realm in the best condition!"

Hearing that they could rest, the students didn't show any joy, but many of them looked tense.

Old Chu's expression turned serious as he asked, "Have you all found your teammates?"

The students nodded.

Then, subconsciously, they looked at Zhao Zheng...

...
