Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Two hours later.

The simple banquet at the Air Force Department's canteen came to an end.

Apart from Ling being a little absent-minded, everyone else seemed quite happy.

Although it wasn't a fancy restaurant, the food was still quite good. After all, it was the canteen for the Hollow Operations Department, and the monthly food allowance was enough to cover a month's salary for someone outside the department.

Afterwards, all parties forged a deeper friendship and strengthened their previous comradeship.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely until the music ended and everyone dispersed.

Caludon's son returned to the outer ring to prepare for the upcoming Hellfire Ride. White Spirit Heavy Industries returned to the construction site; they currently have two large projects and are in dire need of manpower.

Tetsu drove the video store's car, while Rin squeezed into the rabbit shop's car, making the already cramped space even worse.

The back seat squeezed in four people: Su Chen, Ling, Anbi, and Nekoyo, along with Baal.

Su Chen sat in the middle, with plenty of space on both sides.

"Su Chen, how good do you think a person's hearing can be? Can you really hear someone whispering from more than ten meters away?"

Ling, looking preoccupied and somewhat weary, asked Su Chen.

She still harbored a sliver of hope that Ya hadn't heard her entire statement.

"It can be as good as it gets; the limits of the human body are beyond imagination." Su Chen said casually with a smile, "Especially for those who practice swordsmanship, their mental concentration is extremely high and their hearing is even more acute."

Even now, thinking about how cute Rin looked when she was trembling with fear, I can't help but laugh.

Ling realized what was happening and gritted her teeth, saying, "Did you know that Miss Ya was eavesdropping and you're just teasing me on purpose?"

Su Chen looked completely innocent and said in a very pure tone, "Don't wrong me. You were the one who said all that. I didn't lead you on."

"You just wanted to see a joke!"

Looking at Su Chen's face, Ling immediately realized his true intentions; this man could not possibly be innocent!

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not taking the blame for this."

Su Chen's thoughts shifted slightly; it seemed he would have to find a different way to have fun next time.

"Oh well, things are already like this," Ling sighed helplessly, saying in a resigned tone.

Seeing this, Su Chen comforted her instead, "Don't worry, we're all adults and have worked together many times, Ya won't make things difficult for you."

"Actually, when Miss Ya spoke to me at the end, I knew she wouldn't make things difficult for me."

Ling tightened her grip, saying somewhat dejectedly, "I just feel embarrassed. I was talking behind someone's back and the person involved heard me. It's incredibly embarrassing!"

Especially since Ya is her friend, she doesn't know how to get along with her in the future.

The thought of this drives her absolutely crazy.

"No one can help you with this; you'll have to rely on yourself."

Su Chen spread his hands on his thighs, indicating that he was powerless to do anything about it.

"I don't expect your help with this." Ling lifted Su Chen's hand, which was resting on her thigh, and brought it closer, her eyes sparkling as she said, "You're so amazing, can you help me become amazing too?"

If she had power, she wouldn't need everyone's protection like she did this time. She could unleash her own powerful punches and beat the skeleton until it cried for its parents!

While being a rope maker is good, becoming a powerful agent obviously opens up more possibilities.

"Ok?"

"Meow?"

Anbi and Neko immediately looked at Rin with some strange expressions.

Nicole turned her head from the passenger seat and stared intently at Ling.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ling was very puzzled.

She just wants to become stronger, what's wrong with that?

"It's nothing, I was just suddenly surprised that the legendary rope craftsman wanted to change careers."

Nicole turned her head away, but her ears perked up.

Anbi and the cat also exchanged glances, offering no explanation.

They have become stronger with Su Chen's help. Apart from some magical items, the one who has improved the most is still the one who is shivering together, which is very strange.

But it's something I'm too embarrassed to say to someone's face.

"That's strange," Ling muttered under her breath, then ignored it and looked at Su Chen, saying, "So, is there any way to make me stronger? I can do anything!"

Can you do everything?

Su Chen glanced at Ling's flat chest, stroked his chin, and said, "There's definitely a way. I'll think about it when I get back and tailor a plan for you."

He currently has a huge pile of purple card rewards in his system space. Except for a few particularly useful ones that he picked out and used, the rest are all sitting there collecting dust.

Picking out just one or two cards would be enough to enhance Rin several times over.

"Then I'll trouble you. I'll become your apprentice and serve you tea and water every day. I'll treat you well after I've completed my apprenticeship, so don't worry!"

Ling first expressed her gratitude, then patted her chest and promised, "And no matter what the training plan is, I won't say a word against it!"

She had already begun to fantasize about receiving personal training from Su Chen, then enduring the harshest winters and hottest summers, and working her way up to become a strong person like Miss Ya.

Although it will definitely be tiring, the bitterness of the growth process is also something to look forward to!

"Become an apprentice? You've got some ideas."

Su Chen smiled slightly and said.

After hearing what Jingling said, he became somewhat looking forward to it.

It seems quite interesting to turn Rin into an obedient little apprentice.

Given Lingmei's sincerity, he decided to teach her properly.

A deck was thus proposed, consisting of the blue-quality [Cloud Cavalry Warriors' Swordplay Notes], the purple-quality [Essence of Divine Swordplay], and the gold-quality [Tai Xu Sword Qi].

He had already absorbed the knowledge from these cards, and passing on the knowledge within them was very easy. Since Ling was about to become an apprentice, he would teach her once, instead of directly giving her the cards to cheat.

Among them, the blue card, although it is not as good as Yanqing's swordsmanship notes which is four-star, is definitely good enough to teach a girl named Ling who is not as good as Shouwu Fukun and is far inferior to Sanyueqi.

Then, use the purple skill "Essence of Divine Sword Technique" taken from the Honkai Impact 3rd system's Divine Sword Record to allow Ling to advance her cultivation.

Then, she was taught Fu Hua's golden skill, Tai Xu Sword Qi, from the Thirteen Heroes. This set of skills would be enough to make Ling dominate the new Elidu and become a first-class Void Hunter.

However, it will take some time...

"From now on, you will definitely be proud to have a disciple like me!"

Ling raised her neck and said with great confidence.

Su Chen stretched out his hand in front of Ling, grabbed Ling's hand and squeezed it, casually saying, "Let me feel your bones first, to see your talent."

Hmm, this touch is absolutely amazing.

The skin was delicate and silky smooth, just like the ones he had touched before.

But the bones inside.

Hey, osteoporosis!

"So? How's my talent?"

Ling blinked her eyes, looking at Su Chen with great anticipation.

She was the legendary rope maker Phaethon, incredibly intelligent and wise.

He just didn't develop in combat, otherwise he would be a minor genius.

"Your future poses no threat to me in terms of ability, but it will ruin my reputation in the education field."

Su Chen's expression was grave, already imagining himself being labeled an incompetent teacher: "Furthermore, you have osteoporosis, so I suggest you don't eat too many snacks."

Even with Ling's talent, and even if her teacher were a peerless master of swordsmanship, it would still take her several hundred years to reach the point where she could practice the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

In an instant, he condensed the teaching plan to only the blue card [Cloud Cavalry Guard's Swordsmanship Notes]. He couldn't transfer knowledge from the purple and gold cards; he would have to directly fuse them using cheat codes.

Osteoporosis?

It also ruined his reputation in the education sector. Isn't that a veiled criticism of her?

Did I get this from exploring my talent?

Ling felt humiliated, her chest heaving with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Su Chen, you can just say it directly. You don't need to beat around the bush like this."

Anbi chuckled softly: "Hehe."

The cat laughed until its stomach hurt: "Meow haha!"

Nicole, sitting in the passenger seat, laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Oh ho ho!"

The three women, who were initially worried about having another sister, have now completely let go of their wariness.

"Hahaha! Boss Su Chen is so funny!"

Billy, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh the loudest.

Suddenly, the car of the Cunning Rabbit House was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Ling only found their noise bothersome. She leaned close to Su Chen's ear and said fiercely, "I don't care. Even if I'm a disgrace to the education field, you're not getting rid of me."

"Alright, alright, I'll guarantee your success, okay?"

Su Chen patted Ling's thigh to calm her down.

Isn't it just about becoming successful?

Not to mention that he has a whole warehouse of purple cards, which can easily make Ling stronger.

If all else fails, he is willing to sacrifice his own innocence so that Rin can become stronger.
