Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

For the next two weeks, the two enjoyed a rare period of peaceful daily life.

Following the pattern of one core every four days, Jiang Mian methodically refined the new elemental cores.

When the four new core elements of water, fire, earth, and wind come together, it seems to form an endless cycle.

We haven't had time to explore its specific functions yet.

After all, they are only at the third tier, and cannot yet exert their full potential.

However, some signs have already emerged:

A weather system appeared in the world.

If she doesn't deliberately interfere or influence things, various weather conditions will occur randomly, and there's even the possibility of natural disasters like storms and earthquakes.

As time went on, even the four seasons began to change!

Although a full cycle hasn't been completed yet, we can estimate a rough timeframe.

It only takes twelve days to complete one round.

She couldn't help but wonder if, once it reached a higher level, this thing would actually become a complete world?

Then wouldn't I be...

Jiang Mian didn't delve any deeper. If it really reached that level, it would probably take a considerable amount of time.

It is worth mentioning that a few days after "negotiating" with Mr. Zhong, Shen Qiuyu contacted her and took the initiative to visit her.

It was all because of that incident with Xu Xiaoan.

Upon learning that Xu Xiaoan was not dead, and might even have benefited from the misfortune, Shen Qiuyu fell silent.

Subsequently, she proposed a solution on her own initiative:

Leaving Base City No. 1, so as not to cause Jiang Mian any more trouble.

As for where to go...

The northern defense line has been temporarily chosen.

The endless fog that stretches to the north there constantly breeds calamities of the dead, like endless waves of black mist.

If Shen Qiuyu wants to level up quickly, that place is undoubtedly a good place, but it is also quite dangerous.

Jiang Mian did not say much about this.

Ever since the day she revealed her identity, she had thought this day would come.

Shen Qiuyu didn't want to be a burden anymore, so she decided to leave gracefully and gain a chance for rapid advancement.

From this perspective, it's good for everyone.

If she survives, she might become a strong person capable of standing on her own when we meet again.

After Shen Qiuyu left, Jiang Mian felt inexplicably relieved and settled down to complete the refining of the core.

Meanwhile, the production line has already been set up in the alliance.

She ignored everything, and the space seemed to be automatically generating, constantly "refreshing" the core and brand-new space equipment.

However, Jiang Mian can't find the time right now, so he's temporarily putting it all into the [World].

Days passed by, until...

"Give."

In the living room, a rare look of weariness appeared in Ye Chenyang's eyes as he handed the spear to Jiang Mian.

He then briefly introduced its accompanying capabilities:

The throw is guaranteed to hit, and the higher the target's health, the greater the damage.

In addition, the farther the attack range, the greater the attack bonus.

It can be said that it perfectly inherits the skill effects of the torrent [Cataclysmic Heavenly Might], and has made improvements on this basis.

If the user were Jiang Mian, who was the master of the elements, perhaps even greater power could be unleashed.

Therefore, it was named "Divine Punishment".

Jiang Mian reached out and took the spear, then gently patted his head with a touch of tenderness.

"Brother Ye, there's really no need to rush."

Before she even began refining the core, Ye Chenyang took the dragon horn from her and started working day and night to forge it.

He even said it was a gift to her to celebrate the couple having a new home.

"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Ye Chenyang lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with a strange longing, as if he were referring to something.

"Okay, okay, I promise you."

Seeing how diligent he was, Jiang Mian nodded in agreement.

It's just putting him to sleep, but it's like raising a son.

"Mianmian is still the best to me."

Ye Chenyang's lips curled up, the angle gradually increasing.

"Alright, stop being so mushy, let's rest!"

Seeing that his mouth was about to droop again, Jiang Mian casually tossed the gun into the [World], stretched out her hands, and pulled the corners of his mouth back into place.

"Come on, follow me inside!"

After saying that, Jiang Mian pulled him up without further ado and led him into her room.

Although the two usually sleep in separate rooms, it's perfectly normal for them to stick together and be affectionate.

Moreover, Jiangmian's temperature can be actively adjusted; it feels cool to the touch when it's hot, and transforms into a small heater when it's cold.

Plus, its soft, supple texture made it feel incredibly good to Ye Chenyang.

He nestled into Jiang Mian's arms, a familiar fragrance wafting to his nose, instantly easing his fatigue.

"Mianmian."

"Um?"

Jiang Mian patted his back intermittently, and turned her head slightly when she heard him call her name.

"I want a special nickname, one that we only call each other when we're alone."

She hesitated for a moment, then whispered in his ear:

"Then... the baby?"

Upon hearing this title, Ye Chenyang felt as if he were floating on clouds.

I felt lightheaded, yet my heart was filled with heavy emotions.

Jiang Mian's face began to turn red and hot rapidly.

There was a strange sense of shame, but it quickly turned into a peculiar excitement, as if a switch had been flipped.

Or... should we put in a little more effort?

So she pressed her forehead against Ye Chenyang's and whispered:

"Baby, be good and go to sleep~"

That one sentence alone completely shattered Ye Chenyang's psychological defenses.

In his eyes, Jiang Mian now seemed to radiate a dazzling light, making people involuntarily submit to him.

Faced with this situation, Ye Chenyang decided to follow the basic principles.

Just enjoy it.

……

On the other side, in the underground city.

"Boss? Boss!"

Yu Xiaoxiao stood in the top-floor office and knocked on the door of the lounge.

She had changed a lot since then compared to half a month ago.

Aside from the fact that the white hair and white eyes are congenital factors, the scales on the surface of the body have completely disappeared.

However, this is only temporary.

Even when using the ability, those pathological symptoms will still appear.

If you want to control yourself, you need to "cool down" for a while; you can't control yourself at will.

"Strange, is he still not here?"

Yu Xiaoxiao touched her chin.

Strangely enough, "Xu Miao" hasn't appeared for half a month since the materials were provided.

Even when several members of the league's management team died suddenly, they didn't show up.

However, with Chen Li and Lü Yan present, nothing went wrong.

Thanks to the resources left behind by the alliance leader, they actually have a lot more money in terms of funds.

It seems that something went wrong at Pharmacy No. 1, but it seems to have been resolved quickly.

But now the other party's people have come to the door, specifically asking for Xu Miao by name, and even claiming to be "acquaintances".

Chen Li couldn't refuse, so he asked Yu Xiaoxiao to find someone.

But how did she know where the boss was?

I saw her go into her room that day and she didn't come out.

Could it be that the eldest brother has gone into "summer hibernation"?

It's not surprising that a calamity like this would exhibit behaviors that are difficult for humans to understand.

Maybe she should leave; it wouldn't be good to bother people...

Just as Yu Xiaoxiao was thinking this, the door to the lounge clicked open.

"Is there something you need?"

"Huh?"

Yu Xiaoxiao blinked. Why did her temperament seem a little different?

Well... it gained a bit of "compassion," but it was fleeting and quickly returned to its original state.

She didn't say much, but went straight to the point and briefly recounted the visitor's situation.

"...Let's go."

Jiang Mian glanced at her questioningly, then strode towards the conference room.

Inside sat a smartly dressed woman, Jiang Ning, whom she had met once before.

But when she turned around and met Jiang Mian's gaze, her eyes narrowed.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Jiang Ning spoke first, his voice calm.

Jiang Mian closed the conference room door, sat in the head seat, and spoke coldly:

"Long time no see, Wangchuan."
