Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands-Chapter 154 Let’s Play Catch

Xiao Jinsheng finished breakfast and handed the bowl to Que Zelian.

The two exchanged glances and smiled, everything unspoken yet understood.

As they were leaving, they passed by Li. Que Zelian tilted his head to glance at him and spoke in a low voice: "Thanks for breaking the rules."

Li: ...

"I knew it!"

"Fake Bai Yan and scheming Que are the worst!"

"And that damned fish!"

Li suppressed the anger that Que Zelian had sparked in him, wearing an expression of disdain.

"No more scheduling rules."

"From now on, it’s all about competition."

"Who’s afraid of who."

"Well, I’m not."

Xiao Jinsheng didn’t pay much attention to the sparks flying between Li and Que Zelian.

Her current task was to spend another day killing Fog Corpses.

Tomorrow she would return to Mist East to work on the Star Map Task she had accepted on the Terminal—tree planting.

Speaking of planting trees to dispel toxic mist, even though Xiao Jinsheng and the Terminal’s goals were not entirely aligned, they happened to harmonize on this point.

The Terminal’s goal was to plant trees to dispel toxic mist so that the people of Mist Continent could resume reproducing, thus providing it with more fresh food.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jinsheng’s goal was to plant trees to dispel toxic mist and eliminate the living conditions for Fog Corpses.

With the mist dissipated and sunlight shining through, the Fog Corpses would be gone completely.

According to yesterday’s plan, Demon Territory would serve as the future base.

Li had already started hiring century-old tiny demons again.

The demons would be responsible for digging up trees from Mist West, which Li would carry so Xiao Jinsheng could store them in her space.

The demons were also tasked with planting trees taken from Xiao Jinsheng’s space.

But Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t take out enough trees from her space in a short period.

This was because only those bound to her through marriage or Contractual Totem could enter the space.

She also couldn’t bring tiny demons into her space to dig trees.

Li had tried using his Domain Superpower in her space; though it wasn’t restricted, the space rejected the appearance of tiny demons.

"The Terminal’s space is useless too," Xiao Jinsheng complained bitterly.

"Why not just switch to another space?" Caicai suggested.

"Eww..." Xiao Jinsheng’s gaze fell on Caicai.

If she remembered correctly, people in the Cultivation World were adept at creating spaces, right?

And she happened to know someone from the Cultivation World.

"Switching to another space would still mean drawing it from the Terminal boxes," Xiao Jinsheng sighed.

Caicai pondered for a moment and realized that made sense.

The Terminal couldn’t be trusted.

Using the Terminal’s space again might not be entirely safe.

"I recall spaces often show up in the Cultivation World. Hold on, I’ll ask my host," Caicai said, eager to help so quickly that Xiao Jinsheng didn’t even get a chance to respond.

Caicai: You there?

Lou Yan Zhi: Not here.

Caicai: How do people in the Cultivation World create spaces?

Lou Yan Zhi: Classified. Price: fifty thousand points.

Caicai: You greedy scoundrel, aren’t you a swindler?!

Lou Yan Zhi: Take it or leave it.

Caicai: Can I pay in installments?

Lou Yan Zhi: ...

Lou Yan Zhi: You’re a system, shouldn’t you have your own space? Why are you asking about space-making methods from the Cultivation World?

Lou Yan Zhi: Xiao Jinsheng needs it?

Caicai: She already has a space. It’s me who needs it.

Lou Yan Zhi: Oh, I was going to say, if she needed it, I’d offer it for free.

Lou Yan Zhi: But since it’s for you, no discount. Fifty thousand points. Installments will accrue 30% interest annually.

Caicai: &%#@...&

Lou Yan Zhi: What are you typing? Your words are broken; I can’t read them.

Caicai: Installments!

Lou Yan Zhi: Heh.

Lou Yan Zhi: Just create your own space. In the Cultivation World, you need Spirit Stones, Elemental Stones, and Space Stones. Since you’re in the Apocalypse World, use the primary energy of that world instead.

Lou Yan Zhi: Ensure the Five Elements are balanced, the power cycles properly, and there’s enough spiritual energy to sustain a small world.

Caicai: That’s it? You’re charging me fifty thousand points for this!

Lou Yan Zhi: Yup. And, as I said, if Xiao Jinsheng asked, it’d be free.

Caicai: Fine, I’ll write you an IOU.

"Kind souls, oh~" Caicai excitedly ran over to Xiao Jinsheng.

Today, Caicai took the form of a two-meter-tall scallion complete with arms and legs.

"I figured out how to create a space myself!" Caicai said cheerfully. "Bring out a sample of the resources you already have so I can test whether their energy is adequate."

"I originally planned to ask my host," Caicai explained, "but then it struck me that my system records already have the necessary info."

"Caicai, you’re the best~" Xiao Jinsheng said with a smile while simultaneously taking out the resources she had.

Zombie Crystal Core, Fog Corpse Star Stones.

And the Star Stone Source Stone that Chen Yunji had given her, found in the Star Stone Mine.

"This works. This Star Stone Source Stone can be the foundation," Caicai exclaimed in delight. "Its function is similar to the Cultivation World’s Space Stone."

"As for the energy flow within your space, you can use Star Stones in place of Spirit Stones. You also have so many Elemental Stones."

"However, you’re still missing the Five Elements needed to activate it."

With that, Caicai examined Xiao Jinsheng’s and her companions’ information.

For the Five Elements, there were Huaiqing’s Superpowers: Water and Wood, Li’s Superpower: Fire, and Shi Xie’s Superpower: Water.

"We’re still missing Metal and Earth," Xiao Jinsheng noted.

Especially Earth, which was essential for space construction.

"Chen Yunji’s Elemental Power can provide both Earth and Metal powers," Caicai reminded.

"Can I also add other superpowers to the space?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

Caicai mulled over it. Lou Yan Zhi hadn’t mentioned anything about that.

Still, with Xiao Jinsheng’s various Beast Husbands’ superpowers in mind...

If she included all of them, this space would undoubtedly be powerful.

Thus, Caicai gave a firm nod: "Absolutely yes!"

"How many Star Stone Source Stones are needed though?" Xiao Jinsheng asked worriedly.

She didn’t have many of those stones.

Chen Yunji had gifted her all eight of the Star Stone Source Stones he owned.

But since those stones could suppress the Upgrade Star Superpowers of Beastmen, Xiao Jinsheng returned one to Chen Yunji for his own use.

Now, she had seven left—one for each of her seven Beast Husbands.

As for herself, using her plundering skill caused her Spiritual Power Level to drop rapidly.

"At least fifty, given your current space size," Caicai replied.

With that, Caicai heaved a sigh: "If only you were my host."

"If you were, I could access more information from Mist Continent and help you locate Star Stone mines."

"Can the Insect Brain find them?" Xiao Jinsheng suddenly wondered.

Caicai froze.

After a moment of thought, it nodded: "In the Interstellar World, the Insect Clan controls many planetary energy nodes."

"It’s easy for the Insect Clan to locate mineral resource sites."

"You’re making me so anxious to head back now," Xiao Jinsheng said, becoming excited.

This time, she wasn’t waiting for Bai Yan to come to her.

Instead, she was eager to see Bai Yan herself.

But no matter how eager, she needed to wait until today was over.

She had to finish digging all the trees from her space and leave them in Demon Territory for the tiny demons to plant.

Meanwhile, she needed at least an hour killing Fog Corpses to practice proficiency with the superpowers she had copied.

After a busy day.

Everyone finished dinner and gathered in the lounge.

Seven Beast Husbands all had their gazes fixed on Xiao Jinsheng.

Su Ye was straightforward: "Who are you going to choose tonight?"

"Actually, I just thought of a new idea," Xiao Jinsheng said with a smile.

"Scoring game?" Mo Jiao asked curiously.

"I’m done with that scoring game. Why are you still obsessed with it?" Xiao Jinsheng retorted.

She grabbed a silk scarf and blindfolded herself: "Let’s play the catching game instead."

"Whoever I catch will be the one tonight!"
