Chapter 60 Girl’s Training
“Wuwu…”
Pitiful Lonis sat on the floor.
At this moment, her beautiful hair, chest, arms, and white-stocking-clad legs were all smeared with Su Ling’s color.
Her pitiful appearance, coupled with the sweat stains from exertion, made her look like a little girl being bullied by her older sisters in turn.
And Elus?
She crossed her arms and reprimanded helplessly:
“Lonis, how embarrassing! I told you a long time ago not to be absent-minded. You wouldn’t have lost so miserably, but in your current state, you’re not even worthy of being my little maid.”
“Wuwu…”
“However, Su Ling, you did very well! I didn’t expect your progress to be so rapid. You seem to be very good at using the power of the Fiery Abyss. Do you have any tips?”
“Tips…?”
Su Ling blinked innocently, as if she didn’t understand what Elus was saying.
“What I mean is, what do you usually think about during training, Su Ling? Or rather, for what reason did you try the power of the Fiery Abyss?”
“Ah, this? Well, at first, I trained with the idea of proving something to my sister, protecting everyone, and defeating those evil monsters. But later, I discovered another power of the Fiery Abyss~”
“Oh?”
“It’s cooking! I can directly generate fire without using a gas stove, which is incredibly convenient! And Dr. O’Kali and the others are often busy, so their meal times are irregular, and sometimes they eat very little. Bai Ye also feels bad about serving the leftovers to everyone again, so I wanted to help Bai Ye solve this problem.”
Lonis: “Ugh!”
“I started to try to use my own power to make leftovers taste as good as fresh food. When I first used the Fiery Abyss, it wasn’t smooth at all; I mostly burned everything! But then, I mastered the heating method… Senior Isumi also helped me at this time, and I learned my ultimate skill~~”
“Not bad, that’s indeed a very powerful move. With this, Su Ling should also be capable of facing monsters. Keep it up, Su Ling, persevere.”
“Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Elus~~~”
After encouraging Su Ling, Elus frowned and said to Lonis: “Then, following my foolish maid hero, do you know where you went wrong?”
“S-sorry! I shouldn’t have been unfocused, I… I…”
“Hmph, it’s not about being focused or not! It’s that you still don’t know—interest is the best teacher.”
“Eh? Interest is the best teacher?”
“The Land of Eternity, while being a resting place for souls, is also a nurturing ground for dreams. The experience you gained as a hero, all the tactics and instincts, are actually the results of your interest.”
“!!!”
Lonis was stunned, and only then did she understand Elus’s meaning.
Was becoming a hero to save the world very hard?
While in reality, it would be a very difficult task.
But in the Land of Eternity, she had progressed quite smoothly. It was like playing an online game; doing quests every day didn’t feel like work, but rather an enjoyment!
That’s why she leveled up and learned so much.
And now…
“Now that this little idiot’s interest has turned into something lewd, it’s natural to grow through lewdness.”
“Eh?”
“I told you, I’m accompanying you while you rest. So, I won’t blame you for just seeing your underpants? But you didn’t convert this feeling into a motivation to win.”
“!”
“Little idiot, think about it slowly, Hmph~~”
…
…
What Elus said indeed opened up a new path for Lonis.
Transforming interest into nature, achieving consistency between one’s inner self and actions… Su Ling had made tremendous progress because of this.
So, what should she do?
To defeat Castor, to prevent General Tas’s situation from happening again, to protect her wife Elus, to obtain the power of the Dark Abyss, and to protect everyone’s smiles, she had to become stronger!
So…
“Elus, I want to go find Bai Ye and see if I can learn anything from her.”
“Mm, alright. Just like before, I’ll be following behind you.”
…
Actually, if Lonis hadn’t acted impulsively, her relationship with Elus would have been like this.
The pure princess from the Snow Kingdom was originally an excellent strategist!
And Lonis? Although she was a qualified hero, she occasionally acted on assumptions and needed someone to help her strategize.
Those two would likely have quickly become a qualified partnership—but now, after twists and turns, they had achieved a tacit understanding.
Then…
Let’s go learn from Bai Ye.
…
…
“Um, hello, Sister Lonis!”
“Ah, Bai Ye… are you watering the plants?”
“Yes, if it’s meat, we can use a 3D printer, but for vegetables, it’s more convenient to grow them, isn’t it? There are grow lights here that can fully meet the needs.”
Bai Ye was diligently working in the greenhouse of the Land of Eternity.
In front of the girl were lush baby bok choy, each growing vigorously and looking vibrant.
However, in another area, Lonis discovered many strange plants.
For example, this potato.
Although it was large and seemed very filling, its skin was too thick, almost like wood—was this a product of failed cultivation?
“Um, Bai Ye, this potato is…”
“Ah, that! That’s a new plant I’ve developed, called the Potato Cannon.”
“Potato Cannon?!”
“Yes, it’s not mature yet, but once it matures, it can be thrown and launched. The mashed potato inside has a certain purifying property, which can effectively inhibit the replication of Yixiu cells and is specifically used to strike monsters with strong self-healing abilities.”
“S-so amazing! This potato will be very useful in future battles!”
The reason why monsters are powerful is partly due to their thick hides and tough skin, and partly due to their rapid healing—because of this, ordinary bullets cannot cause effective damage to them.
However, now Bai Ye had actually developed this kind of thing!
“Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Sister Lonis. It’s not me who’s amazing, but Silent Leaf! She noticed this possibility while patrolling the City of Ruins.”
“Silent Leaf?!”
“Yes, the Tree Abyss and the replicated Tree Abyss. It’s like two sides of the same coin, not simply a master-subordinate relationship, but with a certain connection. In the first experimental phase research… (omitted 3000 words)… Therefore, after corresponding with Silent Leaf, the domain concerning the power of the Tree Abyss was confirmed, and our replication of the Dark Abyss can also enter the beta testing phase.”
“Mm, mm…”
Lonis sweated profusely, pretending to understand and nodding.
Should I say Bai Ye is worthy of being a puppet? Even though her expression had become very animated, she still retained a trace of machine-like characteristics.
Extreme rationality and extreme seriousness.
“Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say too much at once. Um… I’m really sorry!”
“No, it’s alright. Bai Ye, you’re doing great. So, is this plant also for combat? It looks so interesting~”
To ease the atmosphere, Lonis blinked and reached out towards a plant…
