Yu Zi's Resolve

After soaking in the bath, he lay on the soft bed as a powerful wave of drowsiness gradually washed over him. Before long, he drifted into dreamland.

After finishing her work in the villa, Yu Zi returned to her own room.

After washing up, she had barely sat down on the bed.

When the phone on her bedside table rang.

She picked it up, saw that it was her mother calling, answered it, and held it to her ear.

"Hello, Mom. How are you?"

Yu Zi had just finished speaking.

When a stream of complaints came from the other end of the call.

"You little girl, honestly, what am I supposed to say about you?"

"We're only B-Class ability users. Wouldn't it be better to obediently attend some second-rate university?"

"You just had to rack your brains to get into Giant Ability University and become someone's maid."

"So? It's your first day on the job. Do you regret it yet?"

Listening to her mother's grumbling, Yu Zi's lips curled into a bitter smile.

"Mom, my grades were only a hair's breadth away from getting me into one of the three first-rate universities. I really can't accept quietly going to a second-rate university."

"When I got the call from Giant Ability University asking whether I was willing to be a maid, I was furious at first too. I felt like I would never lower myself to that point."

"But once I saw the educational resources of a first-rate university, I made up my mind."

"Even if I have to be a maid at a first-rate university, I don't want to stay at a second-rate university as one of its top students," Yu Zi said with unwavering conviction.

"Mom, I signed a confidentiality agreement, so there are things I can't say outright. But I can only tell you that the resources here are far beyond anything you can imagine."

"I know you're afraid I'll be bullied and humiliated."

"But I think this is the price I must pay if I want to climb higher."

After hearing Yu Zi's words, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Yu Zi's mother let out a deep sigh.

"Ah..."

"You really take after your father's mule temper. Once you set your sights on something, not even ten elephants can pull you back."

"Since you've put it that way, I'll choose to support your decision too."

"Just be careful not to show up in front of me with a big belly."

Yu Zi's face instantly turned red.

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Upon hearing Yu Zi's words, her mother snorted coldly from the other end of the phone.

"A lone man and a lone woman, dry tinder and raging fire."

"If he wants to do something, what power does a little maid like you have to resist?"

"But remember, take proper precautions. Don't get pregnant only for him to refuse to acknowledge it."

The more Yu Zi listened, the angrier she became.

"Mom! He's a handsome gentleman, not some street thug! I won't allow you to casually speculate about him and insult him!"

Hearing how upset Yu Zi sounded, her mother stopped talking nonsense.

"Fine, fine, fine. I won't say anything reckless. Get some good rest."

After hanging up, Yu Zi sighed.

"Having such an unreliable mother is seriously exhausting."

After silently complaining to herself, she lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

The morning sunlight shone across Su Luo's face.

At the same time, his phone began to ring.

He sprang out of bed, washed up, ate breakfast, slung his supplies over his back, and flew toward the entrance of the high-rise dormitory area.

Before long, the three sisters appeared in Su Luo's field of vision at the same time.

When the three of them reached Su Luo, he gave them a quick look.

After one night, Shen Huaiyu seemed to have become deeply troubled.

"Huaiyu, what's wrong? Didn't sleep well?" Su Luo asked in confusion.

Shen Huaiyu looked helplessly from side to side, seeming too embarrassed to say it.

Seeing that her younger sister found it so hard to speak, Shen Huaiyue simply answered for her.

If you can't find a book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!

"Su Luo, do you remember that strange woman who had an episode here yesterday afternoon?"

Of course Su Luo could not forget that woman. It was his first time seeing a real lesbian, and in such a manner too. It had left an incredibly deep impression.

"Yeah, I remember. What happened to her?"

"She confessed to Huaiyu in public and wanted Huaiyu to be her girlfriend!" Liu Yunyi dropped the bombshell.

Su Luo was startled upon hearing that.

He looked at Shen Huaiyu, who had lowered her head in embarrassment.

He could not help recalling the way that woman had acted when she saw Shen Huaiyu having an episode.

Everything suddenly clicked into place.

Then Su Luo asked somewhat hesitantly, "So... Huaiyu, did you agree?"

Hearing Su Luo ask that, Shen Huaiyu hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, no. I'm not that kind of person."

After hearing that, Su Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That woman always gave him a certain feeling.

Like the stillness before a storm.

As though if no one was careful, she would stir up a hurricane.

"Stay away from her in the future. If you see her, avoid her too," Su Luo told Shen Huaiyu with a helpless expression.

Shen Huaiyu nodded in agreement.

After all, they truly had no experience with this sort of thing, so they could only avoid her for now.

The four of them then followed the signs toward the Combat Zone, which was the farthest away.

They walked for nearly three hours.

When they reached the Combat Zone, hundreds of Space Gates had been set up throughout the entire area.

At the center of the Combat Zone stood a counter.

The four of them approached it and saw a familiar-looking face. As expected, it was another robot.

"Hello, four students. I am intelligent robot number 0957."

"Since this is your first time entering the Combat Zone, please sign your names here."

As it spoke, the robot took out a touchscreen and had the four of them sign their names.

After entering their information into the system, the robot reached into the cabinet beneath it.

It took out four mechanical bracelets and handed them to the four of them.

"Hello, four new students."

"This item is called a Space Warp Bracelet. Press the activation button on the bracelet, and it will unfold a Space Gate before you leading back here."

"This is a life-saving tool for critical moments. Remember, do not damage or lose it."

Hearing that, all four stared at the little bracelets in amazement. They had not expected the school to possess such cutting-edge technology.

At that moment, the robot suddenly said:

"Four students, you may now enter any Space Gate. Please take great care in all things."

Hearing that, the four casually chose a Space Gate and stepped through it together.

A flash of white light passed before their eyes.

The four of them had already appeared in a dense forest.

Weeds ran wild all around them, and a gentle breeze brushed across their faces.

The air was filled with faint traces of blood, instantly putting all four on alert.

The four stood back-to-back in place, cautiously scanning their surroundings with their ears pricked for the slightest movement.

Suddenly, the wind stopped.

It was as if someone had abruptly switched off the speakers around them; not even the faintest sound remained.

Then, an ape's cry rang out from somewhere unknown, shattering the silence.

The ground began to tremble violently, but it did not sound like an earthquake.

Following a strange shriek from above them.

Countless ape-like ferocious beasts rained down from the branches around them like falling droplets.
