The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

Lu Yao's words were neither too harsh nor too mild, but they struck Chu Feng's sore spot perfectly.

Chu Feng's expression stiffened slightly, then she gave a mocking smile: "Teacher Lu Yao is really good at joking."

"Really?" Lu Yao smiled, picked up the flower tea in front of her and took a sip. "I thought I was telling the truth. Sister Chu Feng, please don't mind. I'm just a straightforward person who says whatever comes to mind."

Chu Feng's fingers tightened slightly as she held the teacup, her knuckles turning a faint bluish-white.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Ye Nuannuan watched with wide eyes, forgetting to eat the flower cake she was holding. She kept glancing at Lu Yao and then at Chu Feng, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.

Shen Qingyun held her teacup, her gaze sweeping over the two of them indifferently. The corners of her lips turned up slightly, but she said nothing. She simply picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

Zhou Hui coughed lightly and smiled as she smoothed things over: "This flower tea is really delicious. You should try some. It has a light rose fragrance and a hint of honey sweetness. It's really good. I've heard that rose tea is also good for skin care."

As she spoke, she smiled and refilled the cups in front of the group with tea.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing her displeasure, and adopted a languid posture: "Sister Zhou Hui is right, this tea is indeed very good."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a bit, Ye Nuannuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in Lu Yao's ear, "Teacher Lu Yao, you were so amazing just now!"

Lu Yao turned her head to look at her, a smile playing in her eyes: "Really?"

"Yes!" Ye Nuannuan nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling. "Sister Chu Feng is notoriously difficult to deal with in the industry, and many people give way to her. But your words just now completely shut her down!"

Lu Yao chuckled softly, without saying anything more.

She never starts trouble, but she also never indulges anyone.

If Chu Feng spoke politely, she would naturally treat him with courtesy, but since the other party kept being sarcastic and unfriendly, she didn't need to keep tolerating it.

After all, she didn't owe Chu Feng anything.

In contrast to their peaceful situation, the men who had already entered the castle were much more intense.

Xie Linyu stood in the center of the castle's hall, holding the half-map he had just found, his eyes quickly scanning the marked checkpoint routes.

The others were still searching in different corners of the hall. According to the rules, the "Knight's Glory" badge was hidden in different corners of the castle and guarded by "monsters". Only by defeating the guardian "monsters" could they obtain the badge. The first person to collect all 5 badges could go to "rescue" the princess.

During the game, players are not restricted from using methods such as 'fraud,' 'force,' or 'robbery' to obtain badges, but they need to be mindful of their actions and safety.

This rule is quite interesting; it's designed to make them compete.

While the others were still searching for clues, Xie Linyu had already rushed upstairs with the half of the map.

Although it was only half a portion, it was enough for him to find three coins. He could figure out a way to find the remaining two.

Xie Linyu's figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Lu Zhanting raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the direction Xie Linyu had left. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not rush to chase after him. Instead, he continued to slowly search for clues in the hall.

"Young people are just too impatient," he muttered to himself, pulling a folded piece of paper from a shelf compartment, unfolding it, glancing at it, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

Lin Shen adjusted his glasses, taking in the layout of the hall, and then slowly walked towards the stairs on the west side.

Zhao Dashan scratched his head, looked around blankly, and finally decided to follow in Lin Shen's footsteps. He felt that this architect seemed more reliable.

Gu Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then chose to follow Xie Linyu. Xie Linyu must have found some useful clues to leave so quickly, and following him might even allow him to pick up some bargains.

Xie Linyu had already rushed up to the second floor and was moving quickly along the corridor.

Every few meters along both sides of the corridor is a door, with different patterns of swords, shields, roses, crowns, and dragons hanging on them.

He quickly scanned the patterns and, based on the markings on the half-map, swiftly selected "sword".

Pushing open the door, the room was empty except for a table in the center with an exquisite wooden box on it.

He walked over quickly, and just as he reached out to touch the wooden box, a mechanical roar suddenly came from above.

Xie Linyu looked up abruptly and saw a crack appear in the ceiling. A huge holographic projection of a plush "evil dragon" slowly descended through the crack, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on him.

He instinctively took a step back, but the "evil dragon" moved much faster than he expected, rushing in front of him in the blink of an eye, opening its blood-red maw to breathe fire.

At this moment, a notification came over the loudspeaker: "Congratulations to Xie Linyu for successfully activating the Evil Dragon Guardian. Please defeat the Evil Dragon within 1 minute, otherwise it will be considered a failure and you will need to challenge it again. The timer has started."

As the notification appeared, Xie Linyu saw the health bar on the evil dragon's head.

"The production team, you're really something else. Are you going to make me fight this bare-handed?" Xie Linyu said as he ran quickly to the table, picked up the wooden box on the table and stuffed it into his pocket. He didn't want someone to take advantage of him while he was working so hard to fight the evil dragon. He would be furious.

Besides, who said this evil dragon had to be fought? Clutching the badge in his pocket, Xie Linyu ran straight to the door, opened it, and saw Gu Xinghe hesitating in the corridor.

He called out, "Xinghe, over here."

Gu Xinghe heard Xie Linyu's shout and subconsciously looked up.

The next second, he saw Xie Linyu rush out of the room, grab his wrist, and push him back into the room.

"Brother Xie? What are you doing...?"

Before Gu Xinghe could finish speaking, he saw the huge holographic projection of the "evil dragon" in the room baring its fangs and claws as it pounced toward the door, its health bar still full.

His eyes widened instantly.

"Help me block it!" Xie Linyu patted his shoulder, his tone somewhat matter-of-fact. "Young man, you need to train yourself."

After saying that, he ran into the depths of the corridor without looking back.

Gu Xinghe stood there, stunned, watching the "evil dragon" getting closer and closer, and then looking at Xie Linyu's back that had disappeared around the corner of the corridor. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Brother Xie! You..." Before he could finish speaking, the "evil dragon" had already rushed in front of him, opening its blood-red maw and spewing out a ball of holographic flame.

Gu Xinghe quickly dodged to the side, but the "evil dragon" attacked much faster than he expected, with a series of fireballs coming at him one after another.

He dodged and weaved awkwardly, silently shedding tears in his heart as he dodged. He had clearly come to pick up the scraps, so how did he end up taking the fall for someone else?

And this evil dragon, does it have to be so realistic!

Even though he knew it was fake, he still couldn't help but want to dodge when the attack came. He reached out to pull the door, only to find that the door that Xie Linyu had just easily opened was now locked.

A notification sounded: [You must defeat the dragon before you can leave.]

Gu Xinghe: "Seriously? Production team, why are you messing with me just like Xie Ge did?!"
