Calamity of Tomorrow

Chapter 500: 499 Negotiation and Sacrifice



Upon hearing Christina's words, Elsa also cried out, "And dogs, we could have more dogs!"

Zhou Bai's gaze slightly hardened, and after thinking about the multitude of dogs and cats he had, shoveling poop and cleaning every day, he frowned, "Too much hassle. Nasha is better; she can flush her own poop and feed herself without me lifting a finger."

"What's so great about flushing her own poop! Is that all you ask for?" Christina shouted, "Is she as fluffy as us? Does she have a beautiful bushy tail? Can she lie on your belly and snore? Forget about that, you can't even touch her..."

"No..." Zhou Bai said, covering his face, "What do I need those features for? I just need a facial feature bonus for my practice."

Christina glanced sideways at Zhou Bai, her eyes lifelessly saying, "If you ever have kids with Nasha, don't expect me to take care of them..."

"Shut up! What are you thinking?" Zhou Bai shook his head and walked out the door, "I'm going to talk to Nasha. You guys have fun on your own."

Watching Zhou Bai leave, Elsa lay down on the couch bored, while Christina swung her tail in discontent. The next moment, she leapt out and pressed her ears tightly against the wall, listening to the sounds from next door.

...

Zhou Bai knocked on the door and found that Nasha seemed to be absent. He suddenly remembered, "Right, this little sister is a cultivation maniac. At this time, she must be somewhere practicing, right?"

So he left the dormitory building, went to the special training class to look around, and soon, with the guidance of some classmates, he arrived at a practice room. There, he saw Nasha wearing a tank top and shorts, sweating profusely while practicing her punches.

Zhou Bai's glance swept across her body. The lean body had muscles undulating, looking not as muscular as a man but still giving off a sturdy and powerful vibe.

However, Zhou Bai knew that the strength of a cultivator was not greatly related to the size of their muscles. Nasha appeared only slightly stronger than an average female, but in reality, her physical strength was probably comparable to a first realm Body Refinement practitioner.

Watching Nasha throw a punch, retract it, and then punch again, retract again.

Zhou Bai could sense that every time Nasha punched, her entire spiritual and physical strength was concentrated in that one punch, and even her Primordial Spirit seemed to faintly want to leave her body and follow the fist.

Such punches, which gathered all her strength, made Nasha apathetic to her surroundings; her eyes saw only her fist, and she didn't even notice Zhou Bai's arrival.

Seeing her earnest effort, Zhou Bai couldn't help but flash a look of admiration in his eyes.

Seeing her practice so diligently, he decided to wait until she rested to speak.

But what he thought would be a brief wait turned into two hours, and seeing that Nasha had no intention of stopping, Zhou Bai couldn't help but say, "Take a break. If you keep this up, your body will collapse."

Nasha instantly jumped up, surprised, and said, "Brother Zhou Bai? When did you get here?"

"Not too long ago," Zhou Bai said. "I came to talk to you about something."

"Nasha, what do you think of my cultivation level?"

Nasha was slightly stunned, then recalling the scene of Zhou Bai learning the Time Rebirth Technique, she said with admiration, "It's very impressive. You are the most talented person I've seen, and the strongest among our generation."

Zhou Bai saw her sincere gaze and felt somewhat awkward.

"Troublesome. If it were Yan Shan, Xuan Nu, or some Immortal or Divine being, it would be much easier."

"I'm not great at swindling my own people."

Zhou Bai truly wished the Nasha in front of him were a Heavenly Demon insider, a Divine minion, or something of the sort, so he could use his methods without reservations, even tying her up and carrying her on his back if necessary.

But she was also a student of the human Dao School, and she looked so ambitious, making Zhou Bai feel as if he was seeing his past self.

Looking at the silent Zhou Bai, Nasha said, "Brother Zhou Bai, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhou Bai thought for a moment and said, "Nasha, would you like to train with me?"

Nasha: "Uh... I've become accustomed to being on my own..."

Zhou Bai waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Listen to my conditions..."

Zhou Bai thought it over and realized that it wasn't quite fair to have his own people working for free, especially since his next cultivation practices with the Dao Treasures and the Star Points weren't suitable for outdoor practice. If Nasha were to follow him around 24 hours a day, it would naturally impact her own cultivation and classes.

So Zhou Bai went straight to the point: "I'll cover three meals a day for you, totaling over 300 points in value."

Zhou Bai's food had always been specially prepared by the Dao School, and as his status rose, so did the quality of his meals.

But compared to dietary supplements, the effect of his facial features bonus was more useful, so Zhou Bai planned to let Nasha have his food.

Nasha, who was just about to refuse, swallowed hard when she heard this. Particularly the mention of food worth over 300 points a day, which meant she'd be tasting 9,000 points worth in just a month?

What kind of precious transcendental food would that be, and how beneficial it must be for her cultivation!

Looking at Zhou Bai, Nasha thought to herself, 'This guy is so rich.'

She asked, "Then what do I have to do?"

Zhou Bai: "You don't have to do anything, just follow me wherever I go. I want you with me 24 hours a day."

"Ah?" Nasha's brow furrowed tightly, and she immediately had a lot of bad associations.

Seeing her reaction, Zhou Bai knew she might have misunderstood and said directly, "Don't get me wrong, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do, you just need to stay by my side."

Zhou Bai, seeing she was still somewhat hesitant, immediately added, "If you're still not assured, I can find another guy to come along, would you be more comfortable then?"

Nasha: "Another guy?"

...

Zheng Wentian: "Why should I practice with you? I'm busy every day..."

Zhou Bai: "Ten steamed buns a day."

Zheng Wentian: "Steamed buns? Ridiculous, do you have any idea what I have eaten every day since I was born..."

Zhou Bai: "Meat fillings."

Zheng Wentian: "Deal!"

...

So next, Zhou Bai rented a training room, brought the Primordial Dao Cannon 05 inside, and then hunkered down with Zheng Wentian and Nasha to practice every day.

As for Primordial Dao Canon 05, he fooled them into thinking it was an ancient Daoist scripture that only he could understand.

Christina and Elsa continued to long for and study Primordial Dao Canon 04, aiming to advance further as soon as possible.

...

Meanwhile, in a secret base in the Northwest Region.

Li Xiuzhu stood in front of a sickbed, looking at the patients on several other beds around him, sighed, and said, "You've all worked hard."

Before him were the staff members involved in the research of the mutation weapons, who, due to the distortions encountered in the process, found their minds and bodies gradually warping, heading towards insanity.
