Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 524 - 523 progress
Jiaojiao continued, "Throwing trash into the void, to say there is absolutely no danger, that's impossible."
"But to say there is danger, the probability is almost negligible." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Besides, I am here too. If there is a problem, I will stop you."
Having said that, Jiaojiao's gaze towards Zhou Bai and Zhao Haomiao concealed a hint of unexpected emotion.
In fact, regarding Zhou Bai's method of waste disposal, Jiaojiao was overall supportive. Her only concern was the possibility of mutation due to his excessive use of the Twilight Taoist Skill, hence wanting someone to watch him collect the trash and at the same time, to increase the frequency of mental condition assessments.
She had already arranged a meeting with several committee members of Donghua City, and next, she planned to talk with Zhao Haomiao, to urge him not to extend the Zhao Family's reach overreaching with his, Jiaojiao's, influence.
As long as Donghua City remained united, solid as steel, even if the Plague Department strongly opposed, she could ensure Zhou Bai could dispose of the trash peacefully and resolve Donghua City's pollution problem.
Just like Zhou Bai had said, the garbage pollution problem in Donghua City had indeed become very serious.
What surprised Jiaojiao, however, was that Zhou Bai actually managed to persuade Zhao Haomiao. How did he do it?
Zhao Haomiao, having listened to Jiaojiao, also nodded, "I understand," He turned to Zhou Bai and said, "This was my oversight. From now on, I will support you with all my might..."
"You don't need to do anything from now on." Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Haomiao, and between the opening and closing of her eyes, as if billions of stars were born and dying, a will of destruction surged forth, overwhelming Zhao Haomiao to the point of breathlessness.
Watching Zhao Haomiao grit his teeth in endurance, his complexion turning uglier, Jiaojiao spoke slowly, "Go back and tell those elders of yours that the Zhao Family of Central City is its own entity and has nothing to do with me anymore. Stop trying to extend your hands into Donghua City all the time."
Zhao Haomiao lowered his head, glancing at Zhou Bai beside him, his face filled with shame, feeling incredibly foolish. He made a decision in his heart to fully support Zhou Bai from now on and never make him retreat again.
So, after being reprimanded by Jiaojiao, Zhao Haomiao and Zhou Bai left together.
One in front of the other, looking at Zhou Bai's back, Zhao Haomiao seemed to recall the way he had been protected by the other.
"A man like this might truly be able to achieve something. He's worth my support."
Zhao Haomiao suddenly groaned in pain, rubbing the back of his head, "It feels like my skull is cracked. Ouch, when did this happen?"
Zhou Bai immediately said, "It must have been done by that Soul Emergence, he really is ruthless. Have you offended anyone?"
Zhao Haomiao replied in wonder, "I shouldn't have offended someone so much that they would rather die than attack me, right?"
Shaking his head, Zhao Haomiao looked at Zhou Bai, "Thanks to you for saving me this time. I can't thank you enough; if there's anything you need in the future, just call on me. I'll walk through fire and water to help you!"
Zhou Bai, sensing Zhao Haomiao's gaze, turned his head away, and on the side unseen by the other, his lips curled into a faint, sinister smile, which he quickly concealed.
At the same time, hidden within Zhou Bai's shadow, the Guihai Black Fiend twisted slightly, wrapped in the power of the Primordial Spirit, and began to crawl slowly back onto Zhou Bai.
After the previous experience at Yan Shan, Zhou Bai now secretly employed the Guihai Black Fiend, entirely wrapping it with Primordial Spirit power to prevent any scent from leaking.
This time, to deal with his injury, he had taken a risk by completely dropping his defenses, as heavy as a mountain.
Walking side by side, Zhao Haomiao watched Zhou Bai excitedly and admiringly, talking and laughing with him, oblivious to the Guihai Black Fiend slowly crawling from the shadow onto Zhou Bai's body.
Zhao Haomiao: "Then I'll go to the hospital first. Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
Zhou Bai shook his head: "No need. I can heal my injuries with the Time Rebirth Technique, no need to waste hospital resources on me."
Zhao Haomiao, hearing this, became solemnly respectful, nodded to Zhou Bai, then turned and left.
Zhou Bai watched Zhao Haomiao's departing figure, smiling faintly as his body began to heal rapidly under the effect of the Healing strength.
Zhao Haomiao suddenly turned around: "Right, we're friends now, aren't we?"
Zhou Bai paused his healing, smiling warmly, "Of course." The Guihai Black Fiend behind him whooshed, fully retracting onto his back.
Zhao Haomiao: "Then let's have dinner together tomorrow night. I'd really like a good chat with you."
Zhou Bai smiled, "No problem at all."
Zhao Haomiao turned back and continued walking, but a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He shook his head to dispel the illusion from his mind.
"My head is getting more and more painful; I'd better hurry to get it treated."
…
"Did you see that, Christina? That is what you call acting. With strong acting and intelligence, you can turn enemies into friends, and play with friends like pawns in your hand."
Christina exclaimed, "The art of acting is indeed profound. Zhao Haomiao has completely become a chess piece on your board. I have a long way to go."
Two days later, with the cooperation of the Great Elder and Zhao Haomiao, Zhou Bai finally returned to a peaceful life of training during the day and taking out the trash at night.
One night passed, and his laziness value broke through the 2.2 million mark, and he finally unlocked the second star point.
Greed Steel: Create alloy with the harvested greed and desire. The quality of the alloy can be continuously upgraded by merging it with another, to be used later.
Training method: Skipped.
Laziness (0/2.2 million)
Zhou Bai quickly found Zheng Wentian in the training room and decided to test this ability.
"Tianhe Star Explosion Sword!"
"Time Rebirth Technique!"
"Alas, if it weren't for my level of cultivation limiting me, I could have mastered the five Divine Skills."
"Once I've mastered the five Divine Skills, what can immortals and gods do to me!"
Seeing Zheng Wentian envious to the point of nearly transforming, Zhou Bai directly activated his ability and wiped out the other's desire.
With a thud, Zheng Wentian collapsed to the ground.
Unlike the feeling before, this time when Zhou Bai activated his ability, he immediately sensed a black stream of energy rushing from Zheng Wentian's body and flowing into his sea of consciousness.
"Create alloy with the harvested greed and desire…"
Zhou Bai immediately activated the 'Greed Steel' ability, and saw the Primordial Spirit in the sea of consciousness forming hand seals. Each seal brought forth a glimmer of spiritual light. As the seals changed, they were continuously infused into the black stream in front of him.
The black stream trembled, constantly deforming, contracting, solidifying, and in the end, turned into dark gold metal the size of a fingernail.
"Is this the Greed Steel?" Zhou Bai planned to find time to experiment with the properties of this metal.
Zhou Bai's progress in greed (2/9).
…
On the other side, Zhao Haomiao was busy with treatments and calling the police, and after dealing with all these affairs, he went straight to bed as soon as he got home, completely exhausted.
Not long after he fell asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes, and found himself in a green grassland.
"A dream?"
He looked around and immediately saw the silhouette of a woman not far behind him.
Zhao Haomiao: "Sis? Have you come to Central City?"
The woman showing only her silhouette said, "I haven't come to Central City, I'm just using the Ten Thousand Miles Dream Meeting Technique to communicate with you in your dreams."
Zhao Haomiao excitedly said, "Sis, have you reached the 'Ten Thousand Miles Traveling God' level in Dream Heart Scripture? Then you will definitely take first place in the discourse at Daluo Heaven this time!"
