Zeng Shen felt a rush of excitement as he embraced Xiao Ti, carrying her into the bedroom. It seemed that gaining divine experience could be achieved through other methods besides sparring in the divine realm.
Four hours later, a notification sounded in Zeng Shen's ear:
[Despite the host's valiant efforts, you were unable to withstand the fervent onslaught of the follower Xiao Ti. Divine experience +6]
Hearing the notification, Zeng Shen rested for a while. Seeing that it was just past midnight, he got up, washed up with Xiao Ti, changed into fresh clothes, and focused his mind to open the door to the divine realm.
In front of the space warehouse in the Lingnan district, Zeng Shen and Xiao Ti faced each other from five meters apart.
Suddenly, he lunged to Xiao Ti's side, reaching for her arm. However, she seemed to anticipate this move, side-stepping and kicking at him.
Zeng Shen quickly retracted his hand to block her kick. As he blocked the kick, he lowered his body, attempting a shoulder tackle to her chest.
But Xiao Ti was swifter, dodging and grabbing his arm, using an over-the-shoulder throw to send him flying.
[Despite continuous combat, the host was unable to resist Xiao Ti's onslaught. Divine experience +4.]
Hearing the notification, Zeng Shen, helped up by Xiao Ti, asked, "How about my speed? It's faster than before, right?"
"Yes, Master. It's nearly doubled, but your body hasn't fully adapted to the increased speed, making you seem a bit clumsy," Xiao Ti explained.
Zeng Shen nodded, confirming his hypothesis. Each point of divine experience seemed to enhance his agility.
What if he advanced to level one? Zeng Shen checked his status panel.
[Divine Rank: 0 (99/100)]
"So close, yet so far," Zeng Shen muttered in frustration before leaving the divine realm with Xiao Ti. He took out the Wormhole Marker Card and returned to Number One, the energy vehicle.
"Number One, drive through every street and alley in Tiehai District," Zeng Shen instructed, then moved to the back of the vehicle to practice Flight five times, eventually collapsing into the driver's seat, exhausted.
Unexpectedly, he fell asleep.
Three hours later, Number One alerted him that all streets and alleys in Tiehai District were covered.
Zeng Shen slowly opened his eyes and checked his survival points.
[Survival Points: 56,300]
"Only 50,000 points here? That's low," Zeng Shen yawned, rubbing his eyes. "Number One, what's the nearest unexplored district to Tiehai?"
"Master, it's Jiaowei District in Jin Jiao City, next to Jinhai City."
"Alright, take the old road to Jiaowei District and cover all the surrounding villages," Zeng Shen commanded.
As Number One drove through the dark mountain roads, Zeng Shen returned to the back, practicing Flight eight times before exhaustion overcame him.
The next morning, the sun rose slowly, and Zeng Shen was jolted awake by his phone ringing. It was an unknown number.
"How did an unknown number get through?" Zeng Shen wondered, realizing he hadn't set up call blocking on his new phone.
He answered, and Kekelin's soft, polite voice came through.
"Good morning, Mr. Zeng. I hope I didn't wake you."
"Kekelin, your politeness is unsettling. Just say what you need," Zeng Shen replied directly.
A deep breath sounded on the other end before Kekelin's voice returned to its usual cool tone, "Where are you? I need a photo of you holding your ID for the green card."
"Don't ask where I am. Where are you?"
"I'm downstairs at your place."
"Uh," Zeng Shen was surprised, then teased, "Beautiful lady, were you waiting to ambush me? Did you bring breakfast?"
Sitting in her SUV in a fine dress, Kekelin glanced at a KFC breakfast on the passenger seat. Her forehead creased with irritation as she clenched her fist and huffed, "I just happened to be passing by."
"What a coincidence. I'm not home today; I'll be back tonight," Zeng Shen laughed.
"Tonight, fine. I'll wait for you downstairs then," Kekelin replied, hanging up abruptly and speeding off, trying to quell her sudden fury.
Meanwhile, Zeng Shen, hearing the abrupt end of the call, muttered, "I didn't say I'd meet tonight. I could handle the documents now. Oh well, tonight it is."
Rising, he washed up, practiced Flight three times, then settled into the driver's seat to rest.
Checking his status panel, he noted his survival points.
[Survival Points: 80,200]
"Almost 20,000 short for another ten-draw of purple cards. Not bad," Zeng Shen nodded in satisfaction and asked Number One, "How much of Jiaowei District remains?"
"Master, 45% of the villages remain."
"Looks like finishing Jiaowei District will give me enough for 100,000 survival points and another ten-draw," Zeng Shen remarked, returning to the back to practice Flight.
By around three in the afternoon, Number One stopped at the edge of a dilapidated village, announcing, "Master, all villages in Jiaowei District are covered."
"Great, head to Jiaowei District," Zeng Shen instructed, checking his points.
[Survival Points: 110,200]
"110,000 points, enough for a ten-draw," Zeng Shen thought, summoning the Purple Card Roulette.
"System, ten-draw."
With his command, the familiar lights of the roulette appeared, and three green beams shot out.
[Congratulations, Host, for drawing 2 Item Cards, Intelligent Mechanical Worker.]
[Congratulations, Host, for drawing 1 Resource Card, Intelligence Flower Cluster.]
[Intelligence Flower Cluster: A plant mutated by divine energy. Its dried and crushed flowers can be used as a primary ingredient for general energy potions.]
Looking at the new resource card, Zeng Shen's gaze shifted to the neighboring slots filled with three new blue cards.
One was the frequently seen Fire Resistance Card, which he used, raising his fire resistance to level 3, capable of withstanding 1500 degrees.
The other two were identical skill cards—Telekinesis.
[Telekinesis: Basic Skill that consumes faith or mental energy to move objects. Each point of faith allows moving an object of 1 pound for 1 meter per second. Current limits: 200 pounds, 200 meters, 200 seconds. Upgradable.]
