They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Rimuru: "Don't you have to go to work right now?"

Alicia: "Yeah, I've been retired for a long time now, aren't you envious??"

Rimuru: "If it were the old me, I would have been so envious I'd be crying. But now, I'm free! To hell with the class, let whoever wants to take it take it!"

Alice: "I have a feeling that Mr. Rimuru harbors a lot of resentment."

Ling Yu: "@Alice, wrong, it's not Mr. Rimuru, you should call him Sister Rimuru."

Alice: "Huh?"

Rimuru: "Hey, hey, hey, don't set a bad example for the kids! I'm a real man."

Ling Yu: "@Alice, once you see it for yourself, you'll know whether to call me 'sir' or 'sister'."

Rimuru: "..."

Alicia: "What's wrong with being a girl? Girls are a gift from God, the most beautiful thing in the world."

Rimuru: "No, what about my male safety?"

Ling Yu: "Then you'll have to fight for it yourself."

After confirming, all group members chose to attend the afternoon tea party hosted by Alicia.

The location, naturally, is the Golden Courtyard, also known as the Paradise of the Past.

To ensure that no one would disturb her tea party, Alicia personally carried her bow and arrows and visited each of the heroes.

Of course, only Qianjie actually used the bow and arrow on Alicia; the rest were all easy to talk to.

Even the snake only said a few words to Alicia before agreeing to stay in the lab, but only for half a day.

Honest Hua was tricked by Alicia's sweet talk into helping with the arrangements for the afternoon tea party.

After all, the strength of three people is always limited.

Among all the female heroes, Hua was the most passionate.

Because they won't refuse.

"Lin Dong also wants to attend the tea party?"

Ling Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing the news.

"Yes, when Brother Lin Dong found out he would be meeting Brother Ling Yu, he wanted to come along."

A helpless voice came from behind.

In front of Ling Yu was a holographic projection.

The figure of Lin Qingtan appeared in the holographic projection.

This is a new use case for chat groups that Ling Yu discovered: video calls. Using this mode, you can have face-to-face conversations with group members.

Behind Qingtan was Lin Dong, who looked rather reserved.

Ling Yu's gaze fell on Lin Dong behind Qing Tan: "Lin Dong, the clan competition should be starting soon, right?"

"Yes, yes, the Lin family competition is in four days." Lin Dong replied quickly.

“I’ll be there for the clan competition. This time, you just stay at the Lin family home,” Ling Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, I will definitely win the clan competition!"

Qingtan, standing to the side, curled her lip.

Brother Lin Dong, you've already reached the Heavenly Origin Realm. Go and fight some Body Tempering Realm opponents. If you still can't get first place, don't call yourself Lin Qingtan's brother.

Ling Yu was helpless.

What's going on? His relationship with Lin Dong is getting closer and closer.

He didn't do anything special.

Could it be that Qingtan secretly told Lin Dong something?

If Lin Dong persists in the later storyline of the Heavenly Flame Ancient Tomb, then he will truly accept Lin Dong as his disciple.

At that time, he will help the little sable restore its physical body and act as a protector for Lin Dong and Qing Tan.

After dealing with Lin Dong's matter, Ling Yu chatted with Qing Tan for a few more minutes before hanging up the call. He then picked up his phone and began leisurely scrolling through videos.

The fairy Ellie nestled in his arms, while Mica perched on his head; the human, the fairy, and the demon were a harmonious pair.

Even Cui Zi, who was standing next to her, was envious.

then

She also went out.

Recently, she noticed that many elderly women were chatting together downstairs.

And they talked about topics that she was very interested in, even topics about the neighborhood next door. Over time, Cui Zi became one of them.

Almost every afternoon, they would gather in the pavilion to chat.

Time passes

Evening

When Cui Zi returned, she had some vegetables and fruits in her hands.

The card that Zhou Tong gave Ling Yu, which had a monthly allowance of 500,000 yuan, was directly given to her by Ling Yu.

Therefore, Cui Zi managed all the living expenses.

This made Cui Zi feel like she was raising a younger brother.

"Suiko, are you free tomorrow afternoon?"

Ling Yu's voice suddenly came from outside. Cui Zi was startled for a moment and said, "Yes, what's up?"

"Then come with me tomorrow."

Cuizi: "???"

"Then, it's time to choose an outfit."

Ling Yu handed over the phone.

Cui Zi curiously took it and discovered that it contained various women's outfits.

Cute, mature, soft and adorable—there's all kinds.

"Tell me your choice, and I'll tailor-make one just for you."

"What does 'tailor-made' mean..." Midori asked instinctively.

"What do you think?" Ling Yu smiled slightly.

At this, Cui Zi's face turned red immediately, and she subconsciously covered her chest.

Unfortunately, her body was constructed by Ling Yu, so there was no way to hide it.

"Why don't we let the fairy Ellie choose first?"

"She has already made her choice."

"look."

As he spoke, Ling Yu took his phone back, found the picture, and handed it to Cui Zi.

A hint of surprise flashed in Cui Zi's eyes after reading it.

Very good indeed.

Ellie would look great in it.

So she started searching seriously herself, and finally chose a more conservative one.

Although Midori's temperament is well-suited to a pure and innocent image, being a little conservative is not a bad thing.

"Then I'll go make dinner."

"Return the phone to Ling Yu, put on the apron," Cui Zi said.

"Hmm, what are we having for dinner?"

Ling Yu asked casually.

"Sweet and sour pork, stewed green beans, and crab-like meat."

Ling Yu: "..."

These three dishes sound so familiar.

The Evil Gardenia Project?

Chapter 99 If you keep doing this, I might get angry.

The next day

Zhou Tong arrived early in the morning and handed over the relevant documents and certificates to Ling Yu.

With all the smooth sailing, he completed Ling Yu's identity verification in just one afternoon and evening.

Sure enough, once you open a backdoor, you can't stop enjoying it.

Without lingering, Zhou Tong left after delivering the items.

As the head of a bureau, his work is quite busy and not as easy as it seems on the surface.

After seeing Zhou Tong off, Ling Yu closed the door, said something to the fairy Ai Li and Cui Zi, and then entered a room.

As soon as he entered, Ling Yu's gaze fell on the window.

There, a sphere resembling a glass bead lay quietly on the table, like a fine work of art.

Through the sunlight, you can see a scarlet light flowing across the sphere.

What a beautiful blood-red gem!

That sphere was none other than the Ninth Key of God, also known as the Devouring Key - Star of Eden, or the Harmony of the Stars, possessing the ability to control gravity.

He walked to the window and took the Star of Eden into his hand.

As Ling Yu touched it, as if sensing its master's presence, a faint red light appeared on Eden Star.

"Come on, today's gravity training."

The Honkai energy flowed through Ling Yu's arm, and when Ling Yu released his hand, the Star of Eden was already able to remain steadily suspended in mid-air.

Next second

A crimson force field spread from the Star of Eden, instantly enveloping Ling Yu.

Gravity training, as the name suggests, uses increasing gravity to toughen the body, affecting not only the surface but also the internal organs.

This is a training method that Ling Yu came up with to improve his physical strength.

Herrschers can move freely in the universe, not to mention that Ling Yu's main Herrscher of Reason core has undergone two upgrades, and his physical body is already at a terrifying level.

Without hesitation, it can be said that even if it were the extraterrestrial attack that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, Ling Yu could still withstand it without batting an eye, except that he would be covered in a little more dust.

This time, the fairy Ellie, who was always inseparable from Ling Yu, did not accompany him.

The gravity inside the room was still a bit terrifying for her; even with her Soul Steel body, she would be crushed.

However, this doesn't mean she has nothing to do.

Outdoors

On the sofa

The fairy Ellie had a serious expression on her face. She used her delicate white hand to draw in the air, and finally the energy gathered and formed two slightly transparent gems.

One green and one purple.

These are two Herrscher Gems, but the difference is that they are mimics, only able to manifest a portion of the Herrscher's powers.

After the two simulated gems were created, the fairy Ellie did not stop what she was doing.

Her small hands continued to trace in the air, creating two bracelets that could be set with the two gemstones.

The bracelet is also one green and one purple, but it is lighter in color than the gemstone, so as not to overshadow the gemstone.
