The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"Sorata, I'm hungry."

Outside the kitchen counter, Shiina Mashiro rubbed her stomach, watching Jiang Jing preparing breakfast and lunch boxes inside the counter, a strand of hair still damp from washing her face clinging to her cheek.

"It'll be ready soon, take this to tide you over." Jiang Jing said, picking up a piece of small yellow croaker that had been fried until golden brown.

"Junior, you're giving Shinjiro special treatment again. I'm hungry too." Yawning, Misaki Kamiigusa, who had stayed up late last night, walked over looking unusually tired.

"Alright, alright, you can have these." Jiang Jing brought over a plate of seven or eight small yellow croakers.

Misaki Kamiigusa's eyes lit up immediately: "Haha... Junior, you're still so kind, I won't stand on ceremony."

While Misaki Kamiigusa was having a good time, Mashiro Shiina had already quickly picked up two more golden yellow croakers and put them in her mouth.

"Little Mashiro, you're too cunning! No way, this one's mine."

"Whoever eats the fastest gets to eat more." With a blank expression, Shiina Mashiro finished her food in two bites and then reached for more on the plate.

Just as the two finished wolfing down their fried yellow croaker, the doorbell rang.

"Someone go open the door. Someone I know is here looking for us." Sensing the presence outside, Jiang Jing, who was busy in the kitchen, casually said.

Shiina Mashiro volunteered: "Sorata, I'll go."

"Is Xiaozhenbai going? Then I'm going upstairs."

"Senior, you took the day off again today?" Jiang Jing turned around and looked at Misaki Kamiigusa with a puzzled expression.

"No need to ask for leave. I had Chihiro tell the homeroom teacher that I've been busy with my project lately. I'll go to school after I finish the first episode," Misaki Kamiigusa said excitedly.

Now, Misaki Kamiigusa is focusing all her attention on CL. Every time she reads the script and outline of the steel plot that Eiko gave her, she gains new insights.

Jiang Jing shook his head: "I'm afraid that after you finish the first episode, you'll be even less willing to go to school."

"It's okay. I'm in third grade now, and I can learn almost everything at school."

"By the way, junior, come up after school this afternoon to check on the nascent animation model I made based on the character design you gave me. If there are no problems, I'll start now, remember?" Misaki Kamiigusa waved to Jiang Jing, and then, having eaten half a full meal, she energetically ran upstairs.

"Are you looking for Sorata?" Shiina Mashiro opened the door, looking curiously at Texas and Exusiai, who were holding cardboard boxes at the entrance.

The shapeshifting bracelets on Texas and the others' wrists are only effective against ordinary people. Any superhuman with a one-star level of strength will be immune to them. The main purpose is to make it easier for these aliens from the forbidden zone to integrate into this world.

So at this moment, in Shiina Mashiro's eyes, the two girls with wolf ears and halos were very strange. It was the first time she had ever seen people from other races.

These two women were especially beautiful, tall and slender, with long, straight legs clad in black stockings. Their slightly childlike faces displayed a curious yet composed expression, radiating an unusual charm.

"Who is Kong Tai?" Texas, who was about to speak, was taken aback.

Exusiai, who was standing nearby, gently kicked Texas and couldn't help but say, "Idiot, the boss's name is Kanda Sorata."

After becoming Jiang Jing's vassals and followers, these people in the restricted area originally called Jiang Jing "God Lord" according to the custom of the restricted area. However, Jiang Jing disliked that it was too childish and made them call him "boss".

Then Exusiai looked at Shiina Mashiro and said with a smile, "Yes, we're here to see the boss."

"Kongtai is the boss."

Shiina Mashiro blinked and then said, "Then you guys come in first, Sorata is making breakfast."

As she spoke, Shiina Mashiro stepped aside and took two pairs of slippers from the shoe rack in the entryway for Texas and the other girl to change into.

When Shiina Mashiro led Texas and Exusiai into the house and they arrived at the kitchen counter, Texas and Exusiai rubbed their eyes as they saw Jiang Jing chopping vegetables to make a salad. They thought they were hallucinating.

Is the young man in front of them, dressed in a high school uniform and wearing a white apron, still the same terrifying powerhouse who could destroy the world with a single glance and suppress an entire realm with a single punch, their boss?

I'm sure this isn't a joke.

Jiang Jing looked up at the two dumbfounded girls and nodded: "Oh, it's you two. When did you come out?"

"Ah... Boss, we came out last night."

Exusiai, realizing what was happening, quickly replied, "But I've been busy learning and familiarizing myself with the basics here, so I'm only coming to see you now."

After saying that, Exusiai kicked the wolf-eared girl who was holding the box again.

Texas also realized what was happening and stepped forward, placing the cardboard box on the counter. She said happily, "Boss, this is a top-quality ingredient that Chen and the others took from a supposedly very rare and strange monster. It's delicious, so they asked us to bring it to you to try."

Jiang Jing smiled and nodded: "You still remember to bring gifts when you come out. Just leave them there."

The cardboard box was just a cardboard box, but inside there was a large piece of white flesh frozen in place by a freezing field formed by the power of ice.

Furthermore, the person wielding this power has a high level of control over the power of ice. They can maintain a constant temperature inside the structure while not feeling any coldness from the outside. The power is condensed and does not leak out, which can already be considered the power of law.

If Jiang Jing wasn't mistaken, this power must have come from that girl named Shuangxing with rabbit ears.

After saying that, Jiang Jing looked at the two who seemed a little reserved and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet? I made a lot today, do you want to eat together?"

"Ah...is that alright, boss?" Texas said with some surprise.

As a Lupo, Texas has a keen sense of smell, so upon entering the house, she was immediately drawn in by the delicious aroma that made her mouth water.

If Jiang Jing's appearance hadn't been so strikingly different just now, leaving her speechless with shock, she would have already been drooling.

"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Jing said nonchalantly.

After accepting these followers, they became Jiang Jing's subordinates and were no longer considered outsiders, so Jiang Jing treated them more casually.

Exusiai, who was standing nearby, also lit up and quickly said, "Thank you, boss."

Haha... I can actually eat breakfast made by the boss himself! When I get back, I'll tell Platinum and the others, they'll be so envious. The two girls, who had the same thought, exchanged a glance.

Chihiro Sengoku went to school early again today, and Misaki Kamiigusa, who had only eaten half a meal, also went upstairs to get busy.

So after setting aside a portion for Misaki Kamiigusa and Ryunosuke Akasaka, Jiang Jing and Mashiro Texas, who came in to help, brought all the prepared food to the table.

Each plate contains three golden-fried small yellow croakers, a standard omelet rice, a braised fish, a miso soup, a vegetable salad, and a serving of crispy Chinese-style fried pork ribs.

However, on the plate in front of Shiina Mashiro, there should be two more small yellow croakers and more crispy fried pork ribs.

After sitting down, Jiang Jing casually said, "Don't be shy, eat up."

"Good boss."

Click!

When Texas eagerly took a bite of the crispy-on-the-outside, crunchy-on-the-inside yellow croaker, a burst of delicious flavor that made her tremble with excitement exploded in her mouth.

Before making this fried food, Jiang Jing used the power of light to purify it, so the meat had no fishy smell and was like pure spiritual meat. Then it was marinated with special seasonings, and the temperature was controlled to lock in the aroma of the meat and the seasonings so that they were perfectly integrated and fried.

At this moment, Texas, who had never eaten anything so delicious, felt as if her soul had left her body. She felt light and airy, her eyes half-closed, and a blissful expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"Mmm...delicious."

"It's alright." Jiang Jing also took a bite and nodded in satisfaction.

However, Texas and Exusiai, who were tasting this unparalleled delicacy for the first time, no longer cared about maintaining their image in front of their boss and began to devour the food with gusto.

Shiina Mashiro, on the other hand, was in a better position. Although she kept eating, she was able to quickly finish her portion while maintaining her image, thanks to the delicious food she ate every day.

However, while eating her own portion, Shiina Mashiro's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Jing's plate, as if she were pondering how much she could snatch after finishing her own.

Texas and Exusiai finally breathed a long sigh of relief after finishing their plate, then leaned back in their chairs, satisfied and unwilling to move.

"Boss, this is the first time I've ever seen food that tastes this good. No wonder Honglian said your cooking skills are amazing." Texas looked at Jiang Jing with admiration.

"Thank you, boss, for letting us enjoy such a delicious meal today." Compared to the straightforward Texas, Exusiai was much more polite.

"fine."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing picked up two napkins and, speechless, wiped Shiina Mashiro's face, who was eating the last piece of crispy fried pork rib that had snatched from Jiang Jing's plate: "Why are you eating so fast?"

"Sorata, you eat too fast, you don't leave any extra pieces," said Shiina Mashiro, who had already turned the act of grabbing river-view food into a game.

Jiang Jing, who had also calculated the time to deliberately keep Shiina Mashiro hanging, smiled and said, "Not fast, huh? Didn't you steal one in the end?"

Seeing this, Texas and Exusiai couldn't help but reassess the identity of this light blonde girl, wondering if they should be more polite in their speech in the future.

After wiping Shiina Mashiro's mouth clean, Jiang Jing turned to look at the two girls opposite him: "Alright, you didn't just come here to give me a piece of meat, did you?"

When it came to business, Exusiai's expression turned serious: "Yes, boss. Before we came out, the association had already arranged a base for us. Platinum and the others are currently setting up the base."

"We're here mainly to report to you, boss, on the recent situation and Amiya Chen's future plans."

In front of Shiina Mashiro, Jiang Jing nodded: "Tell me about it."

After losing the Demon Blade and leaving these people in the forbidden area, he adopted a laissez-faire attitude and didn't pay much attention to them. However, since they were the first force he had taken in this world, Jiang Jing was still prepared to listen to them and pay attention to them.

"It's the boss."

"After gaining a better understanding of the restricted area, Chen, Amiya, and Talulah discussed and decided to divide the team into tiers."

"The first team consists of the strongest group of people. They plan to take Honglian into dangerous areas after the demonic tide has completely subsided. Their main source of income is to slay demons to hone their skills and collect materials and resources, with minerals being the primary source of the team's development."

"The second echelon mainly consists of operators who are about to break through, who consume resources in Tianwang City to cultivate and break through, thus strengthening the team's reserve strength."

"The third team of operators brought out the members with the most severe infections and mutations to ask the boss for help with treatment, and set up a base in this peaceful world for the team's operators to rest and relax their tense minds in the future."

"The personnel in the three teams rotate regularly. The first batch to come out this time includes me, Ah Neng, Platinum, Winter, Skadi, and Frostnova and Ifrit, whose skins have now crystallized."

"The rotation of members in the first and third tiers is once a month, and the number of members is not fixed. Boss, what do you think of this arrangement? Is there anything that needs to be added?" Exusiai asked Jiang Jing after reporting.

Jiang Jing nodded: "This arrangement is acceptable, let's leave it at that for now."

"Anything else?"

"Also, this time we participated in the Demon Tide Battlefield in the First Battle City. Our combat team, which is based on the Crimson Lotus Devouring Domain, killed an astonishing number of demons on the battlefield. It is said that we will gain a lot of contribution points."

"However, the Demon Tide is still in its final stages, so the contribution points haven't been settled yet. Chen and the others asked us to ask the boss what your plans are for these contribution points."

As an affiliated follower team, being subordinate to a powerful figure is equivalent to working for that powerful figure, and missions are divided into official and private duties.

Official business means that this time they took Jiang Jing's artifact to the battlefield. With the powerful artifact in the background, according to the contract, Jiang Jing would get the lion's share of the spoils, with the two sides splitting it 40/60, and Jiang Jing getting 60%.

Their personal duties are tasks they voluntarily take on when Jiang Jing doesn't assign them any specific tasks. These tasks involve sweeping away polluted monsters and searching for and killing powerful monsters. This is the 80/20 split, with Jiang Jing at the top.

In the forbidden zone, a place both cruel and full of hope and opportunity, the protection and various preferential treatments and benefits provided by the strong in the early stages are not free; everyone clearly knows this.

The income that Jiang Jing and his team receive from their subordinates and affiliated groups will be converted into their basic obligations to the world during normal times.

Any Silver Moon rank or higher powerhouse who holds a position in the Forbidden Zone battlefield will have a basic obligation to kill a certain number of corrupted monsters every three years, whether they are one-star, four-star, or even Silver Moon rank.

Of course, this is not without reward. After all, no matter how enlightened someone is, you can't expect everyone to be as dedicated as you, let alone not just humans, but also other powerful races.

Therefore, every three years when the performance review period ends, the strong who have completed their basic obligations will receive an income equivalent to a salary, which is very important to them, but it is of little use to Jiang Jing.

Under Exusiai's respectful questioning gaze, Jiang Jing shook his head: "After the settlement, you can keep those contribution points as operating funds for the team. I don't need them now."

"What? How can this be, boss? We already owe you too much, this won't do." Texas, the wolf-eared girl who had been quiet all along, immediately objected.
