Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jing Yuan lifted the arm of the gravity body and moved it around; it was indeed much more flexible than before.

He then began to manipulate the gravity body to move forward, performing a series of actions.

He first manipulated the gravity body to perform a set of punches, then danced, and finally drew his greatsword and began to wield it.

When Jingnan saw this, an incredulous expression appeared on her face. She had personally modified this gravity body, so she knew the situation best.

In the case of machinery, being particularly good in one aspect does not necessarily mean being particularly strong.

Machines need to work together for the whole to achieve the best results.

Following Jingyuan's approach, simply focusing on improving performance is going to the other extreme.

Jingnan originally wanted to see Jingyuan make a fool of himself, but she was shocked that Jingyuan could control things so easily.

Swish!

Jingyuan piloted the gravity vehicle to Jingnan, opened his mask, and said with a smile, "Sister Jingnan, this gravity vehicle is amazing! It's much more agile than before!"

Jingnan, still reeling from the shock, asked, "Are you sure you want to change it like this?"

"Sure!"

Jing Nan then realized that it was no wonder Jing Yuan dared to defend himself in front of the city lord and dared to offend Charles; he was truly skilled and daring!

After the test drive, Jingyuan emerged from the gravity body.

He looked at Jing Nan. After putting on the uniform, this woman had a noble air about her, befitting the city lord's daughter.

Compared to the two Radiant Ones, Jingyuan preferred to go to the Dawn Hall with Jingnan.

"I wonder why Charles would allow Jingnan to go to Dawn Hall?" Jingyuan wondered to himself. "Could it be that the two of them don't get along?"

Originally, Jingyuan was just teasing Charles by deliberately mentioning the names of three women who were close to him, but Charles immediately chose Jingnan.

Jing Nan turned around and saw Jing Yuan staring at him. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jingyuan snapped out of his daze and gave an awkward smile. He couldn't very well say that he was speculating about her relationship with Charles.

So Jingyuan casually changed the subject, "Jingnan, aren't you the chief air traffic controller? Why are you working on gravity bodies in the research department?"

“Many people on the lighthouse wear multiple hats,” Jing Nan replied casually, then walked over to the other gravity bodies, stroking their outer shells as he said, “Maintaining gravity bodies only involves dealing with machinery, which is much easier.”

“I agree with that too,” Jing Yuan said with a smile. “Instead of dealing with people, it’s better to go and kill Devouring Beasts.”

Jingnan smiled gently, "Your views are very similar to Mark's!"

Jingyuan smiled slightly, finding it hard to believe that Jingnan and Charles were siblings.

Speaking of the flight control room, Jingyuan suddenly thought of some questions and decided to take this opportunity to ask Jingnan.

"Sister Jingnan, the flight path for each hunter to a marker is set by the flight control room. Does the flight control room have marker information for all ground resources?"

"Yes!" Jingnan asked, puzzled. "Why are you asking this?"

"Can I see a map of the ground markings?"

Jing Nan frowned slightly, then said, "You are just an ordinary hunter, you don't have enough authority."

Jing Yuan chuckled and said, "I just wanted to see if I could find a better gravity body among the ground supplies markers."

Upon hearing this, Jing Nan assumed that Jing Yuan was still not satisfied with the performance of the gravity-body mecha, so he said, "There are better gravity bodies on the ground, but you have to understand, if they were so easy to get, we would have brought them up here long ago."

"It looks dangerous!" Jing Yuan agreed. Actually, his goal was to deduce the location of Dragon Bone Village using the map.

“Yes, in a very dangerous, densely populated ecological zone.” Jing Nan added, “Currently, the main task of the hunters is to collect medicine, energy and other supplies. There is no need for them to go to dangerous, densely populated ecological zones for the sake of gravity bodies.”

"It was just a sudden thought," Jing Yuan said with a smile, then realized something and quickly asked, "Sister Jingnan, have the Hunter missions never entered densely populated ecological areas before?"

"Of course, densely populated ecological areas are very dangerous, and there is no need to risk your life to enter them to collect supplies."

After hearing Jingnan's answer, Jingyuan seemed to be deep in thought.

Bai Yuekui on the ground knew everything about the lighthouse, but those on the lighthouse knew nothing about the ground.

There must have been something that Lord Morgan deliberately concealed, but the fact that Mark, who had been on missions on the ground for a long time, knew nothing about it shows that he had perfectly avoided the area where people on the ground were active.

Does this densely populated ecological area overlap with the area where people live on the ground?

Jing Yuan only had some guesses; he wasn't in a hurry to find the ground people led by Bai Yuekui.

With the lighthouse as a safe haven, one can slay Devouring Beasts and increase their strength while following the Hunters to the surface to carry out missions.

If you can't win, you can always escape back to the lighthouse.

After leaving the research department, Jingyuan arrived at the outer ring area of ​​the lighthouse.

There's no other way; if you want a place with few people and plenty of space, this is the only option.

Jing Yuan controlled the throwing knife as it flew through the air. The knife was so fast that, from a certain angle, its afterimage was not even noticeable.

What are you doing here again?

A woman's voice came from behind, startling Jingyuan so much that he immediately hid the throwing knife below the platform.

Chapter 25 Blessing Ceremony

Jingyuan turned around and saw a blonde beauty. Although she was dressed simply, she still exuded a mature temperament and charm.

"Penny, what brings you here again?"

When Jingyuan saw that the person who came was Penny, he couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you afraid of being seen by the city defense army?"

"So what if they see? They won't dare arrest you," Penny joked. She seemed to be in a good mood this time.

"That's not how it works. We have nothing to hide, so why are they arresting me?"

“That’s true!” Penny looked ahead and asked, “Do you also like watching the clouds from here?”

"Watching the clouds?" Jingyuan was taken aback. He didn't like watching clouds at all. "Yes, that's right! On this cramped lighthouse, only watching the clouds roll and unfold can make me feel a little better."

"Yes!"

You seem to be in a good mood this time!

Penny looked at Jingyuan and said, "You were right last time, there's no need to be sad over someone who isn't worth it."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan wondered if they had actually succeeded in sowing discord.

So easy?

Upon closer reflection, it's not surprising. On a lighthouse, even if you have someone you like, you can't talk about it openly. If there's even the slightest misunderstanding, that vague feeling will vanish.

Feelings need to be nurtured.

"That's good!" Jing Yuan smiled. "Then from now on, we'll focus on fighting the Devouring Beasts!"

"Okay! Focus on fighting the Devouring Beast!"

After chatting for a couple of minutes, Jingyuan made an excuse to leave.

Looks like I'll have to find a different place to practice throwing knives next time.

Jingyuan went to the cafeteria and used his donation points to exchange for some food, which he then packed up and took back to his residence.

Having just moved to his new place, Jingyuan treated his three roommates to drinks.

Consider it a housewarming ceremony from the old world.

After Mo Dong, Chu Feng, and Neil arrived, they first toured Jing Yuan's room, and then sat down on the sofa together to drink.

This room is just a bit more spacious, after all, that's the standard on a lighthouse.

Even with these conditions, her three roommates were already incredibly envious.

"Jingyuan, you have luxury housing and a gravity body, it's really enviable!"

"Yes! How did you manage to get allocated luxury housing?"

“It was Charles who arranged it,” Jingyuan replied directly.

"The head of the association? Don't you two get along? Why would he arrange luxury accommodation for you?"

The news that Jingyuan offended Charles in the cafeteria has spread and everyone knows it.

"Of course they're trying to win me over because they see my courage!"

Chu Feng gave a thumbs up and said, "You're amazing!"

"So by accepting Charles's housing arrangements, aren't you accepting his attempts to win you over?"

"It's not really an acceptance, just a pretense." Facing his roommates, Jingyuan said directly, "Given Charles's personality, if I refuse him, he'll start targeting me. Since he's offering me this, why not accept it and enjoy it first?"

"But what happens after that?" Mo Dong asked with some concern.

Don't Charles and his group understand? Don't they understand the Light and Shadow Society?

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "On one hand, there's the leader of the Light and Shadow Society trying to win me over, and on the other hand, there's the Hunter Commander heavily relying on me. Their strength is too great; it's quite a dilemma!"

Jingyuan threw a bag of cookies at him, "You're still making fun of me!"

"That's because you're so powerful now. The rest of us aren't even qualified to touch a gravity-bound object!"

Jing Yuan asked in confusion, "None of the three of you have obtained the qualification to pilot a gravity body?"
