Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 278 Zhang Jie: Haha, my power is back!

Just when Zhang Jie thought everything was going well and his telekinesis was about to be upgraded to A-level, Luo Li reminded him: "Wait, Zheng Zha, have you forgotten the two C-level side quests that Chu Xuan lent you?"

Furthermore, in terms of the order of events, Chu Xuan lent you the side quest first, so you should return it to Chu Xuan first.

Zheng Zha scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Sorry, Chu Xuan, I was just caught up in Zhang Jie's scheme and almost forgot about you."

After saying that, she looked helplessly at Zhang Jie, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jie, I'm sorry about this too. After all, Luo Li is right, there's a first-come, first-served rule, so I'll just have to ask you to wait until next time."

Zhang Jie was also speechless. The duck that was about to be eaten flew away, but he couldn't blame anyone because he had also forgotten that Zheng Zha still owed Chu Xuan a side story.

"It's alright, it's alright. You should pay back the side quests you owe Chu Xuan first. We can talk about it next time." Zhang Jie waved his hand dismissively, telling Zheng Zha not to take it to heart.

Zheng Zha patted Zhang Jie on the shoulder again, then looked at Chu Xuan and asked, "Chu Xuan, I remember your enhancement level is also B-level, right?"

"How about we do what Zhang Jie and I just discussed? I'll give you the entire A-level side quest, and the extra part will be converted into two B-level side quests. You can return it to me after we finish the team battle, okay?"

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said, "No need. My enhancement won't be very effective in team battles. To increase our chances of winning team battles, let Zhang Jie enhance first."

"A-level telekinesis should be able to restore a significant portion of Zhang Jie's power, perhaps even bringing him back to the level he had during his time as a Guide."

Yes! That's absolutely right, bro! Let me strengthen myself first. I have experience!

Zhang Jie was overjoyed and said confidently, "With the skills I have mastered, once my telekinesis is strengthened to A-level, my strength can definitely be restored to 80% of what it was during my time as a Guide!"

In the next team fight, if the enemy team is still like the Indian team, I can wipe them out by myself!

Luo Li almost burst out laughing when she heard this, as if she could already see Zhang Jie confidently charging in, only to be punched to his knees and begging for mercy by Zheng Zha from the Demon Team.

Luo Li tried hard to suppress her laughter and said to Zhang Jie, "Since you're so confident, Zhang Jie, then let's strengthen you first. After you're strengthened, you'll lead the charge in the next team battle."

"No problem! I'll take care of it!" Zhang Jie, who was in high spirits, agreed without thinking, but the next moment he belatedly realized that he seemed to have jumped into a pit again.

I have a feeling that Luo Li is trying to trick me again. Humph. I'll be an A-level mental ability enhancer again soon, so I'm not afraid!
Zhang Jie confidently requested enhancements from the main god, specifying that Zheng Zha would be responsible for the side quests. Then...
Insufficient reward points to perform the upgrade.

"Ah." Zhang Jie's eyes cleared instantly. He remembered that Zheng Zha's reward points had all been used for repairs, and because they weren't enough, he had almost used up all of his own reward points as well.

"This." Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie looked at each other, then looked at the others with embarrassed expressions.

"Um... I've run out of reward points, can anyone lend me some?"

"I used most of my reward points to repair Zheng Zha, and the rest are not enough to strengthen him. Can you lend me some?"

The others immediately burst into laughter, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Zhan Lan shook her head with a smile and said, "You two... you were just about to show off your skills, and then this happened."

I have some reward points left over after paying for the return trip to the previous world, so I'll lend them to you. If that's not enough, then you'll have to ask others for help.

Zhang Jie and Zheng Zha thanked him repeatedly, then continued to look longingly at the others.

Seeing this, Xiao Honglu sighed and said, "I haven't touched any of my reward points. I'll make up for the difference in how many you're short."

Zhang Jie quickly said, "A-level telekinesis requires 10,000 reward points. I have 3,000 myself, and I borrowed 2,000 from Zhan Lan. I'm still short 5,000. Do you think I can lend you that?"

Xiao Honglu originally thought that Zhang Jie was short at least 10,000 reward points, but when he learned that he was only short 5,000 reward points, he waved his hand generously and said, "It's only 5,000, I'll lend it to you."

Overjoyed, Zhang Jie kept saying thank you before quickly running to the main god to enhance his power.

Perhaps because of his previous foundation, Zhang Jie needed much less time to complete the A-level enhancement than others, finishing in less than ten minutes.

"Hahaha, A-level telekinesis! My power has finally returned!"

Floating in mid-air, Zhang Jie activated the psychic power within his mind that had undergone a significant transformation. A storm formed around him, and the invisible psychic power within it carved deep trenches, nearly a meter deep, into the platform of the main god.

This is still the result of Zhang Jie not carefully controlling his telekinetic power and simply venting his energy.

If Zhang Jie were to use the techniques he retained from his time as a guide, the destructive power of telekinesis would at least double.

After venting his frustration, Zhang Jie laughed heartily as he landed back on the ground. He gave Xiao Honglu's head a good rub and said, "Little brother Xiao Honglu, from now on, I'll protect you. If anyone bullies you, just tell me, and I'll beat them up for you!"

"Oh?" Xiao Honglu pointed at Luo Li and said, "She bullied me. Go and slap her a couple of times to vent your anger."

"Cough cough cough." Zhang Jie, who was laughing loudly, was so frightened that he choked on his own breath. He looked at the smiling Luo Li, slapped Xiao Honglu on the head, and said, "How can you lie through your teeth like this, you little brat? When did Luo Li bully you? I didn't see it."

Little brat. Slapping his head.
"Hehe." Xiao Honglu secretly made a note of Zhang Jie's name, knowing he would have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future.

Luo Li noticed Xiao Honglu's gloomy gaze and knew that Zhang Jie, with his impulsive hands and sharp tongue, had once again incurred the hatred of a strategist.

To prevent Zhang Jie from noticing this, Luo Li immediately clapped her hands and said, "Is there anything else everyone needs to prepare? If not, let's head to the Final Fantasy world."

Most people said they were ready to leave at any time, but Zheng Zha said, "Wait for me, I'll head back right away."

After saying that, Zheng Zha ran back to his room and carefully carried the Luo Li Egg out.

"Okay, let's go."

As soon as Zheng Zha finished speaking, Zhang Jie suddenly remembered something, poked Zheng Zha with his finger with an embarrassed look, and said, "Zheng Zha, it seems that neither of us has any reward points to exchange for days."

"Ah." Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Honglu, who had just lent him a large amount of reward points, with embarrassment.
