Chapter 209: Come Sit in My Room?
And thanks to Shen Mochen, the living power bank, Han Muxue didn't hesitate to maintain maximum output.
"How much superpower do you have left?" Han Muxue asked.
Shen Mochen was startled for a moment before he realized she was talking to him. He had already boosted Liu Chaoyan and the others several times, especially Han Muxue, who often needed to control the battlefield and was responsible for protecting Shen Mochen's safety. Whenever she took a hit, Shen Mochen would boost her power.
But that question was tough to answer because he had just fully recharged himself.
"Probably more than half left," Shen Mochen replied vaguely.
Han Muxue was reassured, it seemed this power bank was quite durable. Although she couldn't believe Shen Mochen could last so long, it was still good news for the battle.
The Snow Moon Giant Wolf struggled fiercely, its red eyes seemingly burning with hatred, but under the massive gravity, it could only press against the ground, pushing forward little by little under the combined assault of Xia Qingrou and Liu Chaoyan.
Seeing it move forward about ten meters in just half a minute, Xia Qingrou suggested to Han Muxue, "Shall we step back a bit?"
Han Muxue nodded, and seconds later, the three of them retreated fifteen meters away. Xia Qingrou then drew her bow, while the giant wolf incredulously watched the trio easily increase their distance and roared in anger, only to be mocked by Xia Qingrou's sneering smile.
With her power fully accumulated, Xia Qingrou fired another arrow. Accompanied by a booming noise, it hit the previously inflicted wound, causing significant damage to the giant wolf.
Han Muxue quietly watched the struggles and pain of the Snow Moon Giant Wolf and suddenly remembered her arrival at unit 0819, when Xia Qingrou and now Liu Chaoyan were at the tail end of their peak period.
Her full-force arrow could pierce through a D-grade monster. Even facing a C-grade monster, her full-capacity arrow could cause severe damage.
She turned to glance at Xia Qingrou, seemingly wanting to mock Xia Qingrou for being "too old for battle"; she always had a sharp tongue, especially when it came to poking fun at Xia Qingrou.
But this time, her lips quivered a few times, and she ended up saying nothing. No one understood the changes in their own superpower better than they did themselves.
The cracks in the sky began to close, and everyone was invigorated, knowing this meant that the giant wolf was the last monster of this beast disaster. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Liu Chaoyan and Xia Qingrou continued their assault, particularly Xia Qingrou, whose every charged attack tore open a huge wound on the giant wolf. The wolf's blood gushed wildly, staining its originally white fur red in no time.
"This fur looks pretty good…" Shen Mochen couldn't help but say, thinking he might try to cut a piece to make clothes or something. These monster furs could withstand heavy artillery fire and making them into clothes would probably have a good market…
"You think you're the only smart one?" Han Muxue instantly grasped Shen Mochen's implication, disdainfully saying, "Once the monsters are dead, their fur is no different from that of ordinary wild beasts and even stinks. Research has been done on it; it's not commercially viable. Otherwise, do you think you've discovered a great business opportunity?"
So young, just like when she first arrived. Or rather, every newcomer to Buque has thoughts like these.
Shen Mochen considered for a moment, "Then maybe we can extract their bones, grind them into powder, or soak them in liquor… Just say it boosts virility, and lots of people would likely pay a high price for it."
Han Muxue was taken aback, realizing the kid was a real business savant!
"Are you going to take responsibility if people drink themselves to death?"
"It's the same as ordinary wild beasts, so it shouldn't kill anyone, right?"
"That just means the strength is similar, not necessarily harmless to humans! Even if harmless, that is false advertising you're talking about, you damn scammer!"
"How could you call it scamming? We can set the price high and only sell to rich people. That's taking from the rich to give to the poor!"
"And then end up enriching your own pocket? You really have no shame, no wonder I wanted to throw you a bone the minute I saw you!"
As the two bickered, whether from excessive bleeding or finally succumbing to a fatal wound, the giant wolf lay completely motionless.
Liu Chaoyan signaled Xia Qingrou to stop attacking, and then sent another Wind Blade slicing through, watching the Snow Moon Giant Wolf being cut in half. Only then did she relax.
"Yanyan, is the domain deactivated?"
"It is now."
Liu Chaoyan flew back to the group, not touching the ground, and said with a bright smile, "Let's head back."
Shen Mochen recharged the three with superpower, and then, like on the way there, Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou rode a motorcycle while Liu Chaoyan and Han Muxue took the pickup.
Liu Chaoyan helped Han Muxue into the pickup's passenger seat, then pushed the wheelchair to the back of the truck.
"Can I go sit in the captain's car too?" Shen Mochen asked, looking at Liu Chaoyan but speaking to Xia Qingrou.
"What do you mean, hmm? Are you tired of me? I won't let you cheat on me! " Xia Qingrou hugged Shen Mochen's arm, pretending to cry.
"Then I'll drive on the way back." Shen Mochen said. Having just experienced a battle, although he hadn't needed to move much nor fight, Shen Mochen's adrenaline was still running high, and he felt somewhat tired.
He didn't want to ride on Xia Qingrou's aggressive motorcycle again; it was so fast, it was more like flying too low than driving.
"Sigh, that's fine…"
Before Xia Qingrou could finish, Liu Chaoyan actually patted Shen Mochen's shoulder and shook her head gently, "Shen, let Xia handle the driving."
Shen Mochen was surprised by Liu Chaoyan's attitude since Xia Qingrou herself had agreed, yet Liu Chaoyan, who should be uninvolved, objected.
Yet, trusting Captain Liu Chaoyan, Shen Mochen acquiesced.
"Alright then, Xia, you drive."
"Why does Yanyan get her way! I protest!" Xia Qingrou yelled, shaking Shen Mochen.
Liu Chaoyan smiled and turned to climb into the pickup's driver's compartment.
The four quickly returned to the vehicle shed, Xia Qingrou took the package she had bought from Shen Mochen's hands and dashed back to her room.
When he returned to the dorm, Xia Qingrou also finished placing the package and came out of the bedroom.
"Xia and Yanyan go ahead and shower," Liu Chaoyan said softly while sitting on the sofa, her clothes as white and spotless as snow.
"Sure, I'll cook for us after the shower!"
Xia Qingrou spoke, not letting Han Muxue argue, and cheerfully pushed her back to the room to grab their clothes.
"Then let's go back as well," Liu Chaoyan said after sipping some mineral water and giving Shen Mochen a knowing smile.
"Mm," Shen Mochen replied.
It was an unspoken rule he had developed over the days with the three girls; when Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue were ready to shower, he would naturally head back to his room.
Though he had gotten to know Han Muxue well, Shen Mochen still had no reason to directly look at her scars.
As the two reached their bedroom door, Liu Chaoyan suddenly pointed at the door opposite Shen Mochen's and smiled, "Want to come to my room?"
