Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 280 Luo Li: Time's up, please pay your friend fee again~
Although Ming Yanwei disdained the people's encouragement to have children because of certain things, she did not refuse when they needed her help to pay the reward points.

First, she doesn't want to completely fall out with the team yet. Second, she also realizes that after her strength improves, reward points become very easy to obtain, often leaving her with more reward points than she can spend, but not enough side quests.

Zhang Heng, who had become completely dependent on Ming Yanwei, naturally dared not make any statement without her permission.

While Zhang Jie and the others went to inform their respective families about their plans to create a baby, Chu Xuan had already taken the time to calculate how to allocate the reward points.

Once everyone had reunited, Chu Xuan arranged for them to exchange time with each other and return to the Final Fantasy world together.

Just like an elevator suddenly rising, everyone felt dizzy for a moment before they arrived at their destination.

Looking around, the world seemed much 'cleaner' than before, yet it remained deathly silent.

Only in the distance, with its towering tree whose crown burns with golden flames and whose edges sprout new buds, can one realize that life still exists in this world.

The group stood still, gazing at the astonishing sight in the distance. This was the first time they had ever seen such a strange phenomenon: a tree that could keep burning without being burned to death.

Just as everyone was filled with amazement, 'Gaia', who had been drawn in by the teleportation fluctuations of the main god, greeted them excitedly on the spot.

Hello everyone, I never expected you to come back.

Gaia rambled on and on, but aside from the welcoming words, it was mostly just complaints. He complained that Genova had made the world like this, making every day boring until new life was born and reached a certain scale.

The Central Continent team listened to 'Gaia's' rambling as they hurried toward the lush giant tree.

On the way, Luo Li couldn't stand Gaia's nagging any longer, so she said, "If you're bored, just go to sleep like you used to!"

"."

'Gaia' was silent for a moment, then replied with great grievance.

I dare not, I'm afraid that another Genova-like guy will come to my sleep.

"."

This left the entire Zhongzhou team speechless.

Meanwhile, 'Gaia' kept rambling on and on, its voice echoing in everyone's minds.

Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to wake up one day and find a sentient 'tumor' growing inside your body?!

[Thinking about it now terrifies me; how could I possibly sleep?]

“That was indeed terrifying.” Luo Li agreed with 'Gaia' perfunctorily, but neither she nor her companion wanted to listen to 'Gaia' recount her psychological trauma any further.

So, Luo Li took advantage of Gaia's rambling to say, "Gaia, the golden flames on the treetop must be formed from the residual solar energy from last time."

Upon hearing Luo Li mention this, Gaia's tone immediately became excited.

"That's right, it was formed under the remnants of the sun. Speaking of which, I have to thank you all. Thanks to that solar power, the lush giant tree was infused with new life, preventing the flow of life from drying up and replenishing the source of life, allowing the entire planet to slowly recover. Otherwise, you would never have seen me again." Everything 'Gaia' said was unexpected by Luo Li. She originally thought that the lush giant tree would regain its vitality under the baptism of the sun's power, but she never expected that it would save the planet and 'Gaia's' life by a twist of fate.

Although the situation has developed in a way that has exceeded expectations, it is clearly developing in a positive direction.

Luo Li had originally thought that she would have to bargain with 'Gaia' to get her to agree to her request, but now that she felt the gratitude emanating from 'Gaia', she figured it wouldn't be necessary anymore.

Therefore, Luo Li took the opportunity to propose that she should cultivate on the lush giant tree using the life force it naturally exudes, and also to help Luo Li hatch.

As Luo Li had predicted, Gaia immediately agreed as soon as the request was made. Gaia even offered to draw some of its power from the Stream of Life to help the Central Continent Team with their cultivation, without affecting the planet's recovery.

Luo Li was very moved, and then, in front of everyone, she asked 'Gaia' to divide the power extracted from the Stream of Life into two parts, one large and one small.

The larger portion will be used to help everyone cultivate, while Luo Li said she would use the smaller portion to create new bodies for Zhu Wen and Liu Li.

No one objected to Luo Li's arrangement. Zheng Zha even suggested, "How about we stop dividing them into large and small portions and 'revive' Zhu Wen and Liu Li first? After they're 'revive,' we can use the remaining life force for cultivation, okay?"

Zheng Zha's suggestion received full support from everyone. Ming Yanwei glanced at Zheng Zha, gave a soft "humph," but didn't say anything in opposition.

Zhang Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief—she actually hoped to revive her companions first, but since Ming Yanwei hadn't expressed her opinion, he didn't dare to speak up.

Gaia was filled with envy upon witnessing this scene.

I envy you all, unlike me. I've been alone since birth. It was rare to find a clan of priestesses with whom I could communicate, but they worship me like a god, making normal communication impossible.

As Gaia finished speaking, a fleeting look of embarrassment crossed the faces of some members of the Central Continent team.

While feeling embarrassed, Luo Li suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to increase her favorability with 'Gaia' and to get free life points for cultivation.

So, Luo Li cleared her throat and said, "If you need, we can come to see you from time to time. But you should know that every time we come, we have to pay a corresponding price. Paying these prices once or twice is nothing to us."

But little by little, they will eventually become an insurmountable chasm between us and our enemy.

By then, we will no longer be able to come into this world to see you.

After saying these words, Luo Li waited nervously for 'Gaia's' response.

Strictly speaking, Luo Li didn't lie to 'Gaia'. According to the rules set by the main god, in addition to paying reward points, each person also needs a D-level side quest to return to the world before that or even earlier.

Based on this calculation, taking the current fifteen members of the Central Continent Team as an example, if everyone came, it would indeed require paying for fifteen D-level side quests, which is equivalent to five C-level side quests, or roughly two B-level side quests.

In the main god's realm, an A-level side quest, when split, only yields two B-level side quests.

Based on this calculation, the Zhongzhou team will have to pay an A-rank side quest every time they visit the Final Fantasy world in the future.
