Chapter 754: Chapter 516: Post-Match Daily Life, Museum Closed to Visitors (6K)_2

Her bare feet rested naturally on the soft sofa, with graceful foot arches of perfect curvature, ten toes rounded and cute like a row of plump pearls, with neatly trimmed toenails glistening gently in the lamplight.

Lin Guang placed the food box on the coffee table beside the sofa, opened the lid, and took out the utensils.

The next moment, the aroma of porridge quickly permeated the air.

Zumama’s nose twitched twice uncontrollably as she tasted the scent, then her indigo eyes slowly opened, carrying a hint of drowsiness.

Then she crawled like a little child to the edge of the sofa, picked up the spoon, and began sipping the porridge.

At the moment the food entered her mouth, Lin Guang could clearly see the light of satisfaction flickering in her eyes.

"Mmm... delicious..."

Though the porridge was made by Chelina, the ingredients handled personally by Lin Guang still made that Star Shards progress bar sound rise beside his ears.

Lin Guang watched her with a smile, speaking with a touch of helplessness, "Do you really have to work this hard?"

From the mysterious parts scattered around the workshop and the equipment still in standby mode, glowing with an Ether radiance, it was clear she spent another day delving into her research.

— As the champion of the Mechanical Spirit Cup, Zumama’s fame was at its zenith.

Logically speaking, she should take a good few days of rest.

But she seemed not to have any intention of stopping, diving back into her studies just the day after the celebrations.

As Lin Guang’s contractor, Zumama naturally also gained the privilege to attend courses at Longteng University as a listener.

Yet the winter holidays were still not over for a few days, so she could only self-study, using academic credits to purchase permissions to read the experts and professors’ textbooks and course Illusion Realms.

Likewise, Liko was spending her days in the equipment department and library, studying tirelessly.

Because Lin Guang also leveraged connections to find her an enrollment spot at Longteng University.

— Having never attended college, it’s not too late to start now.

"Hmm... A bit difficult."

Zumama quickly finished the porridge, ate all the side dishes, sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

Her situation was somewhat like Vishdair’s, both had perceptions, yet she was slightly better, having never resisted learning new things over the past ten years. Still, some conflicts arose in philosophy, thus needing a certain time to engage with the academic frontier.

Lin Guang smiled and said, "Take your time, no need to rush."

"If you really can’t study anymore, find a way to relax, either by taking on a couple of random tasks to practice or come and watch our training, get some activity."

"The Potential Potions you’ve been drinking also require you to be in the best status to digest them properly."

"...Mm."

Zumama’s lips curled slightly, she nodded, then suddenly stuck out her tongue like flicking a snake’s tongue beside Lin Guang, with a subtle expression.

"But I always feel, boss, that you have so much to do every day, busier and more hardworking than I am."

"..."

In the next moment, the girl suddenly lay defenselessly on Lin Guang’s lap, her elf-like pointed ears rubbing against his thigh.

Lin Guang was stunned for a moment, then naturally raised his hand to cradle her delicate face.

He knew that her relentless efforts were for their shared dream.

To build a giant, mobile city soaring in the sky.

For Zumama, that was her lifelong aspiration.

And for Lin Guang, who had extensive theoretical experience in "Spirit Battle Chronicles," this goal held extremely profound significance.

Not only could it significantly amplify everyone’s combat power, but it also touched upon achieving True Master in the future, advancing further to Seven-Star and beyond.

The reason Seven-Star True Masters and Tier Seven Beast Kings are on a different level than most entities below Level 70 is because a fundamental transformation occurs upon breaking through.

At this tier, the meaning of the term ’Domain’ changes profoundly.

Like a domain in another literal sense, such as academics, authority, or conceptual strength, in some sense transcending distance limitations, taking the firmest step towards the Divine Domain.

Wanting to breakthrough, apart from needing three foundational Dao Marks, involves further sublimation of True Intent and True Body, and facing socalled tribulations with significant risks of perishing.

And this city, in Lin Guang’s plan, was a huge catalyst for all of this.

Just...

Cannot rush.

Too many preconditions must be met.

Lin Guang softly said, "Your observation application has been approved by Director Jing Ning, after school starts, you can freely enter and exit the Floating Island to observe and study its structure, with specific personnel to explain."

Zumama’s eyes lit up, "Oh! Great!"

— Talking about the structure closest to a mobile city at Longteng University, without a doubt it was those floating sky gardens with anti-gravity, each with dimensions over a few hundred meters in length, width, and height.

Zumama had her eyes set on them right after entering the Vast Sea Secret Realm. After all, its anti-gravity mode and Spirit Rune Array had great reference value, naturally lingering in her thoughts.

"And about the Dao Marking and training plan, you should find time to accompany me to the research department, bringing Big Ugly (nickname for Angry Iron Plate) to provide data."

"With Big Ugly, you might not need to fight in person, but whatever you do, the stronger you are, the higher the efficiency."
