My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Chapter 262 Yellow Springs: Ji Yuan, come into the pool with me! [Second Update]

Sitting beside the Dream Pool, Ji Yuan carefully examined Huang Quan.

With her delicate face, cool temperament, and tall figure, she exudes charm to everyone around her at all times.

The water in the Dream Pool, in particular, has a dreamlike quality.

The Dream Pool rippled gently, and Huang Quan's long, snow-white legs were faintly visible within it.

Ji Yuan sat quietly in his seat, watching Huang Quan enter his dream.

At the same time, he was silently organizing his knowledge about imaginary numbers. Ji Yuan had learned some theories about imaginary numbers when he mastered the imaginary number collapse pulse, but it was not comprehensive at all.

Now, with Mr. Chadwick's memory knowledge, Ji Yuan began to quickly grasp the theory of imaginary numbers.

Starting from scratch, Ji Yuan didn't overlook any research on imaginary numbers. Even the genius club's research on imaginary energy was only superficial; no one knew if their current research was going astray. Therefore, Ji Yuan wanted to start from the basics to check, lest he unknowingly stray from the right path.

While multitasking, Ji Yuan was absorbed in the complex knowledge of imaginary numbers in his mind, while admiring Huang Quan's beautiful body.

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Quan suddenly opened his eyes.

Sensing that there was another person in her room, she instinctively rushed towards Ji Yuan.

Grabbing the edge of the Dream Pool with her palm, she spun 180 degrees and swung her right leg like a windmill, slamming it down on Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was mainly contemplating the concept of imaginary numbers and didn't react immediately. Faced with Huang Quan's attack, he instinctively raised his fist to meet it.

Huang Quan was stronger than him. Although his fist hit Huang Quan's thigh in time, he was still forced to retreat a distance.

Wanting to attack again, Ji Yuan quickly made a sound at this moment.

"Huang Quan, that's me."

Huang Quan saw Ji Yuan at this moment and stopped his attack.

Huang Quan had a very deep impression of this person who knew his name but had no memory of him whatsoever. Seeing him now, Huang Quan had no intention of attacking him whatsoever.

How did you get into my room?

Huang Quan asked Ji Yuan.

"Huh? Your room? Isn't this my room?"

Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Ji Yuan felt a moment of confusion.

Is Pinocchio's hotel actually a shady establishment, engaging in the absurd practice of selling the same room to two different people?

But don't you know I'm from the Immortal Boat Alliance? I hold grudges, and I'm determined to get my revenge.

Huang Quan, who was opposite Ji Yuan, also showed the same expression, looked to the side, and then quickly walked to the door of the room to check the room number.

"...I think I went to the wrong room. No wonder I couldn't get in when I swiped my room card earlier. I thought the door was broken, so I tried to push it open with some force."

Huang Quan remained calm and spoke to Ji Yuan without changing his expression.

However, Ji Yuan could vaguely sense an awkwardness emanating from her silent calm.

“This…” Ji Yuan looked at Huang Quan speechlessly.

The hotel room number and such are quite clear, right? It's truly remarkable that you could still go to the wrong room. It's fortunate that Huang Quan went to his own room; if he had gone to a bad guy's room and entered the dream...

The entire hotel is now in danger.

Even if the ethereal messenger is in a dream state, if it dares to treat her with malice, she will definitely be able to react.

Huang Quan looked at Ji Yuan with a calm gaze, his eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry, as if he had something to ask.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately said to her, "But this is good too. Didn't you say you wanted to meet again in Pinocchio? Now it's perfect, we've met again."

"um, yes."

Huang Quan nodded.

Then she lowered her head to think for a moment, and after organizing her thoughts, she said, "So, would you like to go out for a drink with me? Our last meeting was too rushed, and I still have a lot of things I want to ask you."

"That's great, of course."

Ji Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Huang Quan walked outside, with Ji Yuan following behind her. However, after leaving the room, Huang Quan first looked to the left, a thoughtful expression on her face. Then she looked to the right, her eyes still showing a thoughtful expression.

I looked at it several times, from left to right.

Just as Ji Yuan was about to speak, Huang Quan stepped back behind him.

"I don't know the way to the lobby, can you show me?"

Ji Yuan: "..."

No way, you can get lost in a hotel corridor? You're such a terrible navigator!

Ji Yuan thought to himself,

But on the surface, he said softly to Huang Quan, "Okay, then follow me and don't get lost."

"Ah."

Huang Quan nodded, then kept his eyes fixed on Ji Yuan, following Ji Yuan's every move step by step.

No matter how Ji Yuan walked, Huang Quan followed less than half a step behind him, their steps perfectly synchronized. His gaze never left Ji Yuan, as if he feared he might suddenly disappear around a corner.

The originally dashing and handsome female swordsman now even exuded a hint of wifely charm.

The two walked back to the main hall.

They first went to the front desk, partly to find Huang Quan's room, and partly to get themselves a new room.

The door lock was broken; Huang Quan dared to enter his dream room there, but Ji Yuan didn't have that kind of guts. For safety's sake, he still needed to go and find a room with a secure lock.

The hotel receptionist was still Miss Ellie, and when she saw Ji Yuan, her face looked like she was about to cry.

It's you again!

Also, how come there's another young girl next to you?

"Um, Mr. Ji, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ji Yuan said to her, "This young lady broke the lock on my room. Could you please help me find another room? Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for any damage caused to those rooms."

Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Ellie's eyes widened, as if she were listening to a fantasy.

"Could you repeat that? The room door lock was broken? But we've implemented multiple security measures for the room's safety. How could this young lady still break the door lock under these circumstances?"

Ji Yuan explained for Huang Quan: "Perhaps she has superhuman strength."

"This……"

Ellie didn't know what to say, so she arranged for hotel staff to check Ji Yuan's room. While waiting, Huang Quan also found out his room number from Ellie.

At this moment, Ellie also confirmed that the lock on Ji Yuan's room door had been broken.

Shocked, they also planned to go and process the procedures for changing Ji Yuan's room.

However, when it came time to check in, her expression suddenly became somewhat troubled.

"what happened?"

Ji Yuan asked her.

Ellie said somewhat nervously, "The rooms are full. The available rooms are all unfinished and cannot be checked in. It will take at least twenty-four system hours to finish preparing them for check-in, this..."

Many rooms in the hotel require a series of tasks such as changing the water in the pool after the previous guest leaves. Pinocchio has such a large flow of people that the empty rooms have not yet been cleaned, so Ji Yuan cannot change rooms.

"This……"

Ji Yuan is now at a loss as to what to do.

Are we supposed to just wait in the lobby forever?

Just as Ji Yuan and Ellie were at a loss for what to do, Huang Quan spoke up.

"Can only one person sleep in the dream pool in the room?"

“There’s no rule about that…” Ellie said instinctively. Then she instantly realized what she meant, looked at Huang Quan, and stammered, “You, you mean…”

Huang Quan looked at Ji Yuan and said, "You can go to my room until the new room is ready."

Ji Yuan stared at her with wide eyes.

He looked closely into Huang Quan's eyes and saw that they were clear and devoid of any other emotions, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

Ji Yuan thought about her identity as the Void Token Envoy and understood somewhat.

"That would be good."

Ji Yuan would certainly not object to this.

Ellie, the hotel receptionist, was completely dumbfounded.

In the end, all she could say to Ji Yuan was this:

"Um, I'm really sorry, we'll let you know as soon as we've cleaned the room."

"Ah."

Ji Yuan nodded, then prepared to go have a drink with Huang Quan.

However, Huang Quan was not in a hurry to leave. She looked at Ellie and said, "You, tell him the room number again."

Upon hearing her words, Ji Yuan and Ellie suddenly understood.

This young lady doesn't seem to know how to get to her room, does she? So she called Ji Yuan along to have him lead the way?

After hearing Ellie tell Ji Yuan the room number, Huang Quan took his arm and walked towards the bartender.

……

It was the same bartender who treated us to dinner before.

He was happy to see Ji Yuan, but when he saw Huang Quan beside him, his face instantly turned sour.

"Weren't you with that gray-haired lady? Who is she?"

He's a staunch advocate of pure love and can't stand scumbags.

Upon hearing "Miss Gray Hair," Huang Quan couldn't help but glance at Ji Yuan.
