Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 266

Luo Li's decision to sponsor Li Shuaixi's enhancement was made after careful consideration.

Many members of the Zhongzhou team currently need higher-level Taixu Sword Qi. Although Li Shuaixi has a cultivation method, Taixu Sword Qi is notoriously difficult to master.

Three worlds have passed since Li Shuaixi exchanged for the Taixu Sword Qi Heart Essence. Including the time spent exchanging in between, no one has yet broken through the Heart Essence and reached the next stage.

Therefore, Luo Li plans to lend her side quest that she doesn't need for the time being to Li Shuaixi, so that he can strengthen the Taixu Sword Qi to A-level and directly skip the cultivation stage to reach the Soul Essence stage.

Then, Li Shuaixi would guide the others in their cultivation based on his own understanding of the Taixu Sword Qi. In this way, the speed at which the others cultivated the Taixu Sword Qi could be greatly accelerated.

Moreover, strengthening the Taixu Sword Qi has another benefit for Li Shuaixi: once this kind of skill-based strengthening is mastered, it becomes entirely his own, and will not disappear even if he dies and is resurrected.

Unlike bloodline-based enhancements, once a reincarnator experiences death and resurrection, they must use side quests and reward points to enhance themselves again.

At this moment, Li Shuaixi was unaware of this matter. He only knew that the eldest sister, Luo Li, was going to lend him a side story to enhance his character. So he began enhancing his character under Gao Hongliang's envious, jealous, and hateful gaze.

Seeing that Li Shuaixi had also obtained an A-level enhancement right after Lingdian, Gao Hongliang looked at Luo Li with longing eyes, hoping that he could also get some sponsorship.

But Luo Li shrugged and said, "Even if you play the victim, it won't work. I really don't have any more side quests."

Although Gao Hongliang had a premonition, he was still somewhat disappointed to hear Luo Li say this in person.

Thus, apart from Luo Li and Xiao Honglu who lent out the side quests, and Zhan Lan who returned the side quests to Zhao Yingkong, the only remaining members of the Central Continent Team who haven't been strengthened are Zhang Jie, Chu Xuan, Gao Hongliang, Ming Yanwei, and Zhang Heng.

Zhang Jie and Chu Xuan are waiting for Zheng Zha to finish repairing the game. They had previously lent Zheng Zha a side quest, and now it's Zheng Zha's turn to return it to them.

Gao Hongliang, on the other hand, simply lacked money and couldn't secure sponsorships, so he could only quietly huddle in a corner watching others show off and impress others.

"So what do you plan to strengthen?" Luo Li looked at Ming Yanwei, who had been keeping a distance from the team lately, and asked in a very calm tone, as if she were asking her what she planned to eat for dinner.

Having prepared in advance, Ming Yanwei answered fluently, saying, "I plan to upgrade my Spirit Origin to A-rank to further extend my combat time."

Luo Li had no intention of interfering with Ming Yanwei's enhancements. Instead, she looked at Zhang Heng, who had completely become her plaything, and asked, "What about her?"

Ming Yanwei said matter-of-factly, "My side quests weren't enough, so she used them to strengthen me. She can talk about it another time."

This sounds reasonable, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that since Zhang Heng joined the Central Continent Team from the Legend of Gods and Demons world, he has only had one B-level Holy War Angel bloodline enhancement.

Although Zhang Heng is only Ming Yanwei's exclusive support, it also means that as long as Ming Yanwei gets extra rewards, she can get a share. Little by little, she can definitely accumulate enough to complete a B-level side story.

If you add in the team rewards and the main quest rewards, let alone collecting two B-level side quests, even if she pulled out an A-level side quest right now, Luo Li wouldn't be surprised.

Moreover, this is Zhang Heng's own income. If Ming Yanwei's income is included, it would definitely be enough to create two A-level side quests. But now that Luo Li has asked, Ming Yanwei only mentioned one A-level side quest. This kind of concealment is a betrayal in the harmonious atmosphere of the Zhongzhou team.

However, Luo Li did not expose her directly, after all, the next match was a team battle, and Ming Yanwei, who had double A-level enhancements, was definitely a top-tier fighter.

Moreover, Luo Li believes that Ming Yanwei is crazy but not stupid. As long as she doesn't want to be eliminated with negative points due to losing the team battle, it's basically impossible for her to cause trouble in the team battle.

Even if Ming Yanwei really wanted to cause trouble, Luo Li was absolutely certain that the other side would only target her.

As for 'herself', Luo Li had already planned out 'her own' script. When the time came, 'she' would simply go and deliver herself into the fray, and Ming Yanwei, having lost her target, would have no choice but to obediently work hard for the Central Continent Team! Perfect!

And so, in a tacit agreement, Ming Yanwei and Zhang Heng both underwent enhancement, ostensibly to upgrade their own spirit foundations to A-level.

But the addition of Zhang Heng clearly indicates a problem, but Luo Li and Chu Xuan turn a blind eye, while Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu assume it's part of the plan and don't ask any further questions.

As for the rest of the people, the team leader (the big sister) doesn't care, so why should I care so much?

Although Ming Yanwei concealed what extra enhancement she had received, from the moment she chose that enhancement, it was destined that she could not hide it from Luo Li.

After all, Mingyanwei had the Command Seals that Luo Li had previously imprinted on her. No matter how she tried to hide it, the newly appearing Servant reaction on her body was detected by the Command Seals in an instant, and then Li Shuaixi, as the Lesser Grail, naturally knew what she had strengthened.

Upon noticing the sudden surge in Ming Yanwei's Spirit Origin size and the emergence of new Servant reactions, Li Shuaixi immediately used a magical trick (telepathy) to report to Luo Li.

"Big Sister, a new Servant reaction has appeared on Ming Yanwei. It feels like she's from the same source as Atalanta, but even more powerful!"

Luo Li confidently replied using her magic, "Everything is as I expected. Li Shuaixi, just pretend you don't know anything."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuaixi knew that Luo Li had already made arrangements for Ming Yanwei. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Xuan. He remembered that when his older sister tricked Zhang Jie last time, it was a scheme she orchestrated with Chu Xuan. What about this time?
Then Chu Xuan seemed not to notice Li Shuaixi's gaze, but his voice rang in Li Shuaixi's ear.

"Stop looking around, just be natural. Ming Yanwei isn't stupid, don't let her become suspicious because of you!"

Li Shuaixi immediately looked away, pretending to be invisible along with Gao Hongliang.

As Ming Yanwei's enhancement progressed, Zhan Lan began to feel something strange. She sensed a special aura emanating from Ming Yanwei during the enhancement process.

Under the influence of that aura, Zhan Lan felt a strange sense of closeness to Ming Yanwei, something that had never happened before when Ming Yanwei was strengthening her spirit foundation.

This made Zhan Lan suspect that Ming Yanwei must have strengthened something else besides raising her own spirit foundation level.

After Ming Yanwei finished her enhancement and landed back on the ground with Zhang Heng, Zhan Lan couldn't help but take a few more glances at her under the influence of that aura, and asked, "Ming Yanwei, did you really only enhance your own spirit foundation?"
