The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

P.S.: 8,700 words today, two more chapters after deducting the minimum.

The bounty has now accumulated to 26 chapters (26/26), and I've finished paying it off today, haha ​​^_^

Debt-free and feeling so relaxed! It's been so long since I've relaxed, I'm going to play some games to celebrate.

Oh, by the way, I'm offering a 150-blade reward for an extra 3,000 words in a chapter. Compared to those who offer 300 blades for an extra 2,000 words or 100 blades for an extra 1,000 words, that's already pretty generous. Don't call me a rip-off, okay? (manual smile, deal done)

Chapter 194 Slacking Off and Feeling Strange - Haruno (First Update)

"Haha... I'm going to sweep this round again."

As soon as she touched the cards in her hand, Exusiai's eyes lit up and she looked at Platinum and Texas with a mischievous grin.

"Really? That's hard to say."

Texas exhaled a puff of smoke contentedly, looking at her cards calmly, her fluffy tail swaying lightly behind her, indicating that she was in a good mood.

Platinum's ears twitched. Looking at the mess of cards in his hand, his handsome face was speechless: "Okay, I'm going to give you guys money again this round."

"Hmm, then I'll accept it without being polite." Exusiai said with a smile, then looked at the brown-haired beauty who was arranging her cards.

"Winter, why aren't you saying anything?"

"I won't tell you, or you'll trick me into telling you something."

"Uh... I'm a Sarkaz, do you think I'd try to trick you into revealing information?" Exusiai said, displeased.

Finally finished tidying up, the brown-haired beauty, who looked quite pleased with herself, nodded in satisfaction and casually remarked, "You're a fake angel."

"Alright, hurry up and play cards," Texas said impatiently, a cigarette between his fingers.

"Thirty thousand"

"Bang! One!"

I'll argue.

On the sofa in the distance, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had successfully awakened the Absolute Cold Heart Flame and broke through to the mid-stage of the first star due to the rich and pure spiritual energy supplied by the outside world, looked at the four people playing mahjong with a somewhat blank gaze.

The information in her hands mentioned a beautiful woman with purple-red hair named Exusiai, who had an angel halo above her head and was at the peak of the three-star realm. She was proficient in modifying firearms, had experienced countless battles, and possessed combat power that allowed her to fight beyond her level.

Once the space equipment in the restricted area solves the ammunition and logistics problem, each person becomes a powerful firepower turret.

Another black-haired beauty with wolf ears and a fluffy tail, a cold expression, and a seven-tenths resemblance to her younger sister Yukino, is named Texas. She is a four-star strength, skilled with two-handed swords, and has a strong ability to charge.

The information shows that after this woman charged into the demonic tide with lightsabers in both hands, she transformed into a storm of blades, leaving no corrupted demon corpse intact in her wake.

The woman named Platinum, with horse ears, long silver hair, delicate features, and a listless appearance, is a three-star expert who specializes in sniping, specifically targeting four-star and higher-level monsters in the demonic tide.

As for the brown-haired bear-eared beauty who seemed straightforward at the moment, she was a four-star strength woman. After entering the battlefield wielding a battle axe, her fighting style was extremely ferocious. Every monster was either cleaved in two or smashed into mincemeat.

However, seeing the four people leisurely playing cards and slacking off, which was completely inconsistent with the fierce and battle-hardened image described in the information, made Yukino Yukino feel very uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, Yukino looked at the silver-haired beauty in front of her who was drinking soda, eating snacks, and watching anime with great interest, and asked curiously, "Miss Frostnova, is this how you usually are in the Forbidden Zone and in the previous world?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was in charge of arranging their daily lives and communication, was very curious about these people who came from another world and had experienced this demonic tide battlefield.

"I don't know about them, but I've never had this much free time before."

Frostnova, who seemed quite indifferent, shook her head and said calmly, "In my original world, because I was an infected person, I lived a life of rejection and oppression until my strength increased and my subordinates and I began to live a better life."

Seeing that Frostnova was so easy to talk to, Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Frostnova, could you tell me what the Forbidden Zone battlefield is like? Is that demonic tide really that scary?"

The ruthless, rabbit-eared beauty on the battlefield shook her head, leaned back on the sofa, and casually ate snacks, saying, "Actually, I'm not that clear about the demonic tide either. Anyway, once you enter battle, you just need to freeze all the demons in your line of sight..."

While the four people inside were playing mahjong and chatting with Yukino, Skadi, who was sitting calmly at the door, suddenly stood up.

Skadi's unexpected actions went unnoticed by the others, as the world ended just after she joined Rhodes Island. Even when she stepped out of the courtyard, they assumed she was just going for a stroll.

However, no one knew that Jiang Jing, whose aura was similar to that of ordinary people outside the courtyard, was looking up with great interest at this apartment building, which had a similar layout to Sakura-sou but was more luxurious and spacious.

Skadi, with her white hair flowing down her shoulders, stepped out of the courtyard. Her red eyes looked at the young man who appeared to be younger than them, and she said respectfully, "Boss, you've arrived."

Whether it was Jiang Jing's godlike or demonic power, or the life-saving grace he bestowed upon them, these women, with their different fates and personalities, were filled with respect and gratitude for this young man.

Jiang Jing withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the white-haired, red-eyed woman, and nodded: "It's Skadi. Are you getting used to this world yet?"

Upon hearing this, Skadi thought for a moment and said, "The atmosphere here is very peaceful. Although the air is a bit polluted and not pure enough, it smells very comfortable."

Jiang Jing smiled faintly: "Is that so? You'll get used to it. If you have nothing to do, I suggest you go for a stroll in the streets or wander around. Life is more than just fighting and training."

Skadi smiled calmly, a hint of longing in her voice, and said softly, "Even if the boss hadn't said anything, I was planning to find some time to visit the seaside in this world."

"The beach!" Jiang Jing's gaze fell upon the white-haired, red-eyed woman before him, and the image of her wearing a bikini instinctively surfaced in his mind.

"cough……"

Jiang Jing shook his head to shake off the images in his mind: "Let's go inside. I need to go back and make dinner after I've taken care of their health issues." With that, he led the way into the courtyard.

“Go back and make dinner.” Skadi was taken aback.

"Only two tiles left, watch me draw them myself." Looking at her hand of all tiles, a Dragon Seven Pairs, Exusiai smiled and reached out to draw a tile.

"Really? Watch out for getting burned." Texas said calmly, a cigarette dangling from his fingers, with only one card on the table in front of him, forming a pair and three of a kind. However, his tail was wagging rather fast.

The opposing player, Lily, also had a full hand of dominoes, but only one card in hand. She frowned slightly as she looked at Exusiai, waiting for the opponent to unleash a powerful attack.

Meanwhile, Platinum, sitting to the left of Exusiai, had a very messy hand in front of her, despite her calm demeanor. She hadn't even won yet. According to the rule set by the four players that they would fight to the bitter end, if a player had no winning hand and ran out of cards at the end, they would have to pay the other three players.

Even so, Platinum did not show any anxiety on her face. She calmly looked at Exusiai with an expression that said, "I'm telling you to be careful not to let it get me."

To prevent the other side from cheating, all four agreed not to use any supernatural powers, so the other three, who were suppressing their abilities, did not know that she had not yet won a hand.

"Ok?"

Exusiai rubbed her fingers on the tiles, knowing what kind of tiles they were just by feel, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Then she looked at Texas opposite her, shrugged, and said with a smile, "Although you didn't win by self-draw, you still can't win."

Chapter 195 Caught Off Guard (Second Update)

"Thirty thousand." With a snap, Exusiai threw out the thirty thousand she had just spent in the previous round.

"Is it my turn?" Platinum calmly reached out and touched the last card.

After picking up the cards, Platinum didn't turn them over. Instead, he ran his fingers along the bottom of the cards, and the other three immediately noticed a slight change in Platinum's expression.

"Uh... don't tell me you got a self-drawn win at Haidilao?" Winter, sitting opposite Platinum, was somewhat skeptical.

"Wow, did you actually win big?" Exusiai said, somewhat surprised.

Texas also subconsciously reached into her pocket, wanting to take out a lighter to light a cigarette. Her tail, which had been wagging happily behind her, stopped and drooped limply.

However, Platinum did not immediately reveal his card. Instead, he leaned back in his chair with a thoughtful expression, looking at Exusiai and the other two with a faint smile, as if to say, "You're doomed," thus stalling for time.

"Alright, Platinum, if you won by self-draw, just hand it out. Let's hurry up and play another round before the boss comes," Exusiai urged impatiently, as she prepared to shuffle her own cards.

Similarly, Texas and Winter also placed their hands on the cards, ready to push them aside and shuffle.

Seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, Bai Jingang spoke up: "Actually..."

Just then, Skadi's calm voice rang out from outside, and her words, "Boss, everyone's here," made the four of them change their expressions.

"Oh no, the boss is here." After sensing Jiang Jing's presence outside with their spiritual energy, the four of them, not wanting their lazy image to be discovered by the boss, immediately moved their hands.

Then, with a whoosh, the four of them pushed their cards aside in unison. Winter grabbed the tablecloth, rolled it up, and collected the cards, then tossed them into an inconspicuous corner.

The three Texases quickly collected the money in front of them, some moving tables and others carrying stools. They disappeared in a flash, and then reappeared in the same spot, standing still.

Just then, Jiang Jing and Skadi walked into the living room.

"Boss, you're here."

"boss……"

The four members of Exusiai all had bright smiles on their faces, as if they had been respectfully waiting for Jiang Jing to arrive. However, Texas, who was standing on the far left, had her hands behind her back somewhat unnaturally.

She was in such a rush that she forgot to put the cigarette away from her hand.

Through the latest learning of the basics of this world, a world that is similar in many ways to the level of civilization of their past, it seems that women who smoke are seen as bad people.

"Boss." Shuangxing from the sofa area also came over. Although they hadn't met much, she looked at Jiang Jing with a respectful and grateful expression, but also a little reserved.

"Kanda-kun," Yukinoshita Haruno greeted him with a smile.

Looking at the four people in front of him who looked energetic, Jiang Jing, who had seen through everything from the outside, just found it a little funny. Then he turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita and nodded slightly.

“Miss Yukinoshita, you seem to be quite comfortable with the present.” Jiang Jing also realized that Yukinoshita Haruno had successfully awakened.

Yukinoshita first bowed to Jiang Jing, then looked up at him gratefully and smiled, "I also want to thank Kanda-kun for his help that day, which enabled me to successfully awaken my ability."

Jiang Jing shook his head indifferently: "No need for thanks, I was just helping out casually."

However, what was just a casual act of kindness to Jiang Jing was a turning point in Yukino Yukinoshita's life, so she didn't take it lightly like Jiang Jing did.

However, she knew that Jiang Jing didn't like these things, so she kept her gratitude to herself and smiled, saying, "Kanda-kun, let me report to you on the association's arrangements for your vassal followers this time."

"Okay." Jiang Jingdian nodded.

Yukino's expression turned serious as she opened the document in her hand: "This time, the association has prepared a permanent apartment for Miss Exia and the others, which is equivalent to 195 contribution points."

"Creating a small cultivation space, plus stabilizing the array plate, costs 970 contribution points..." Yukinoshita Haruno reported to Jiang Jing in a methodical manner.

The Celestial Surveillance Association has been able to grow steadily and expand over the centuries, attracting all the powerful figures in the human world to its ranks. In addition to the suppression by the ten strongest individuals, it has always adhered to the principle that every effort will be rewarded.

Similarly, all resource usage and consumption must be recorded, and even if the Martial Emperor uses any resources from the warehouse, even if it is just a single Source Crystal, it must be deducted from the corresponding contribution points.

Gains are gains, and expenses are expenses. Even Silver Moon Rank and the top ten strongest individuals do not have the privilege of using association resources at will, which the association has always done very well.

The losses incurred by Texas and the others, as reported by Yukinoshita, will be temporarily deducted from Jiang Jing's personal contribution points. Although it's a drop in the ocean for him, it demonstrates the association's meticulousness in handling affairs.

While Yukino was reporting the data to Eike, the four Exias standing respectfully to the side began exchanging mental energy.

"Platinum, you're too cunning. You're still dawdling even though you're not ready to win," Exusiai complained.

"Yes, that's not fair of you." Looking at Jiang Jing, who was listening to Yukino's report, Rindou's expression remained unchanged as she transmitted her dissatisfaction through mental power.

Although they were in a hurry when packing up, the other three immediately recognized the platinum card.

"Platinum, go out and buy each of us a sundae later, or I won't play with you next time," Texas said coldly, flicking her tail.

"I didn't cheat." The silver-haired beauty blinked.

He said innocently, "This isn't my fault. I was about to pay for the game when the boss came over early. I didn't want to either."

"Hmph, do you think we'd believe you? Even without a boss, you'd definitely do something else." Exusiai snorted twice.

"Kanda-kun, that's all for now. If you need anything, please feel free to give the order." After giving a detailed report, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and closed the file.
