Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 276 Zheng Zha: I'll do whatever makes you happy.
Zheng Zha slapped his thigh excitedly and thanked Zhan Lan repeatedly.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of asking Luo Li! Thank you so much, Zhan Lan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zha stood up and was about to take action when he heard Luo Li's voice.

"What do you want to ask me? Is it a problem with your own excessive weight and mutation, or are you just impatiently waiting for Lori to hatch?"

Zheng Zha blushed, embarrassed, and said, "Yes, yes, I have everything. Hehehe."

Luo Li came to Zheng Zha's side, circled him a few times, and after observing him carefully, said, "From the outside, there are no problems. How do you feel?"

Seeing Luo Li's serious expression, Zheng Zha also became nervous. He stretched his body and activated the Honkai energy within him, then answered seriously, "I feel... everything is normal, there's nothing wrong."

"That's good. It seems the main god is quite capable." Luo Li nodded, casually sat down between Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong, pointed at Zheng Zha, and said, "Sit down, let's talk slowly."

Just as Zheng Zha sat down and was about to ask a question, Luo Li spoke first: "In order to prevent you from being dominated by your beastly nature again due to overuse of power and entering the state of excessive weight transformation, I suggest that you follow Li Shuaixi to further study the Taixu Sword Qi."

By strengthening yourself with the Void Sword Qi, coupled with the control over your own genes granted by the high-level gene lock, you might be able to perfectly control the power of the Overweight Transformation.

Zheng Zha listened patiently to Luo Li's proposed solutions for her excessive weight and super-transformation. After listening, he said, "The Taixu Sword Qi and the gene lock, right? Thanks to the last berserk episode, I have a clue how to unlock the third-tier gene lock."

"And the Taixu Sword Qi..." Zheng Zha looked at Li Shuaixi and said with a smile, "Then we'll have to trouble Teacher Li from now on."

Li Shuaixi said embarrassedly, "Brother Zheng is joking. There's no need for 'teacher' or 'mentor.' We're comrades who've been through thick and thin together. Please continue to call me Li Shuaixi."

So Zheng Zha patted his chest and assured Li Shuaixi, "Alright, I'll leave the matter of learning the Taixu Sword Qi to you. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, Li Shuaixi, just tell me, and I'll definitely find a way to help you."

Li Shuaixi immediately recalled the picture that had kept him up all night and still terrified him. He secretly glanced at Luo Li, thinking, "Zheng Zha, since you've said that, don't blame me for messing with you later."

"Haha, Brother Zheng, your words are enough. Once everyone is here, we'll begin the lesson!"

Zheng Zha immediately asked curiously, "Hmm? Are other people also going to learn the Tai Xu Sword Qi?"

“Yes, everyone should learn it.” Li Shuaixi gave a general description of what happened while Zheng Zha was undergoing repairs, letting Zheng Zha know why everyone had to learn the Taixu Sword Qi.

"Oh, I see." Zheng Zha nodded in agreement, but his eyes turned to Luo Li, and he asked impatiently, "My question is resolved, so can you tell me about Luo Li now? How long does it take for her to complete her incubation?"

Luo Li spread her hands and said in a very irritating tone, "I don't know~, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, um, the chances of next year are relatively small, but it's not impossible."

As a companion who had been with him all along, Zheng Zha knew that Luo Li was definitely saying that on purpose, just to see him break down. He immediately pleaded weakly, "Captain! I'm begging you, please tell me the truth!"

"Ahem. To be honest, I really didn't know at the beginning."

Zheng Zha collapsed onto the sofa as if his bones had been removed, clutching his head and wailing in pain, "I can't really wait a year, can I?! I..."

Just as Zheng Zha was wailing, Li Shuaixi added insult to injury, saying, "A year in the Main God Space is not the same as a year in the mission world~." Zheng Zha froze on the spot, collapsing onto the sofa with lifeless eyes.

Seeing that Zheng Zha looked completely hopeless, Luo Li stopped teasing him and said, "Although I don't know exactly how long it will take, there are indeed ways to speed up Luo Li's incubation."

Zheng Zha sprang up from the sofa instantly, his eyes shining, and asked, "What method? Tell me quickly!"

Looking at the anxious Zheng Zha, Luo Li calmly said, "You can take Luo Li to exchange time and return to the previous world."

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Zha couldn't help but interrupt, saying, "Isn't it possible that we'll have to wait up to a year?"

Luo Li gave Zheng Zha a flick on the forehead with her magic, saying, "If you interrupt me again, you can spend the rest of your life hugging that little rascal!"

After reprimanding Zheng Zha, Luo Li continued, "In the Final Fantasy world, do you still remember that giant tree that grew from the source of life?"

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Li Shuaixi, Zhang Jie, and Zhao Yingkong nodded, indicating that they still remembered.

"Just remember that tree. It can be said to be the embodiment of the source of life in the Final Fantasy world, containing the purest life energy. If you bring the Loli Egg close to it, the hatching time will be greatly reduced by the nourishment of that life energy."

Zheng Zha was very excited after hearing this, and couldn't wait to go back to his room, hug the Loli Egg, and return to the Final Fantasy world.

But Zhan Lan said worriedly, "Wasn't that tree's power exhausted? And because of the solar power I guided, it was burned. Are you sure it's okay?"

"Ah." Zheng Zha was dumbfounded. All of what Zhan Lan said happened when he went berserk, so Zheng Zha had no recollection of it at all.

Seeing Zheng Zha's bewildered expression, Li Shuaixi kindly explained it to him, successfully delivering another blow to Zheng Zha.

When Zheng Zha was once again filled with despair, Luo Li cheerfully said, "That giant tree isn't as fragile as you think. For it, being burned by the power of the sun is actually a good thing."

Without the power of the sun, the giant tree, having lost all its power, might have truly died because life in the Final Fantasy world had become extinct and it was unable to regain its power through the cycle of life.

But with that power of the sun, things are different; after all, the sun is one of the sources of life.

That day, Zheng Zha's mood was like a rollercoaster, constantly plummeting to the bottom and soaring to the sky. After several such cycles, he felt incredibly exhausted, even more so than when he fought Sephiroth.

Zheng Zha forced a smile and asked, "In that case, can I take Lori back to the Final Fantasy world now?"

After saying that, Zheng Zha looked at Luo Li nervously, afraid that he would hear some more bad news from her.

Luo Li nodded and said, "Okay, but we'll go together after everyone arrives."

Zheng Zha breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking that his wish had finally come true.
