Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

At the same time, Chu Zhong finally discovered that when fighting with the "Green Wooden Stick," he was dealing magical damage, not physical damage.

Magic damage targets the mind, not the physical body.

After all, the dungeon garden only has bosses, and they are not combat-type bosses. Their health is limited, and if you were dealing physical damage, their memories would have been erased long ago.

The previous "Common Grade Willow Stick" only had 30 attack power.

Now, after fusion and upgrade, it has become "Good Quality Aoki Stick," increasing its attack power to 50, almost doubling it.

The increased attack power also significantly increases the magic damage received by the dungeon garden, accelerating the defeat.

'No wonder I wasn't in any danger even after defeating Xiaolan in the dungeon...'

Similarly, Chu Zhong also understood the real reason why the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had survived to this day.

In addition, Chu Zhong also figured out the wonderful restorative uses that came with the "green wooden stick".

For ordinary people, after a major battle, their bodies and weapons will be worn down and in a state of exhaustion and stagnation, requiring a period of rest before they can fight again.

For Chu Zhong, whose physical strength is almost limitless, the only problem is that his weapons are sealed.

Now, the special effect attached to the "Green Wood Stick" can greatly accelerate weapon repair, making the seal useless!

Simply put, Chu Zhong's current combat strength is basically invincible!

"call--!"

Chu Zhong adjusted his breathing, allowing the surging fighting spirit that had been unfulfilled in the dungeon and stirred within him to calm down.

About ten minutes later,

Ran and Sonoko, their cheeks flushed from the bath, looked healthy and adorable. Dressed in their pajamas, they came to the side room and gestured to Chu Zhong that he could go take a bath.

If you got closer, you could definitely smell the warm fragrance surrounding the girl...

"Um……"

Chu Zhong quickly looked away to avoid stirring up more emotions. He got up, went back to his room to get a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After a quick rinse, I lay in the bathtub and took a hot bath.

The water in the bathtub was very hot, obviously because Sonoko and Ran had added extra hot water after they finished bathing.

Taking out a bouquet of flowers to speed up mental recovery, and setting a half-hour alarm on his phone, Chu Zhong seized the time to take a short nap.

At 10 p.m., Chu Zhong finished his shower and returned to the side hall. He was about to tell Conan to take a shower when he realized that Conan was nowhere to be seen. He figured it was too late and Conan had gone straight to his room to sleep.

Chu Zhong then went to the second-floor storage room and used the coffee machine that had been brought up earlier to brew a pot of coffee.

Just then, a light footstep sound came from the corridor.

"It's so late, why are you still drinking coffee?"

The garden appeared at the entrance.

"Oh, for safety's sake, I plan to stay on the first floor tonight, just in case anything goes wrong."

Chu Zhong gave a simple explanation.

My main concern is that Gin might approach the villa in the middle of the night, so I'm afraid to sleep soundly and have to stay up all night...

and many more!

Time! Time to sleep! All night?!

Chu Zhong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

But her waist was gently embraced by a pair of delicate hands.

"Lord Chu is really reliable!"

Yuanzi leaned against Chu Zhong's chest, facing him, and looked up at him.

They were both wearing thin pajamas, their heartbeats rising and falling.

"How about..." Sonoko parted her lips slightly, "come into the room and stay by my and Ran's side, wouldn't that be safer?"

Chu Zhong unconsciously put his arm around Yuanzi's waist, but quickly came to his senses, let go, and poked Yuanzi's forehead. "Stop fooling around, go back to your room and sleep."

He certainly understood Sonoko's implication, but since it concerned Gin, he couldn't be careless.

Although I have another plan in mind, it would be best to let Ran and Sonoko fall asleep before I put it into practice.

“Alright…” Sonoko noticed the seriousness in Chu Zhong’s eyes and stopped pressing the matter, only whispering, “If Chu-kun finds it boring…”

"We can go to the room together and have some snacks~"

Chu Zhong was already feeling a bit unsatisfied while in the instance, but now that Yuanzi had mentioned it, he immediately perked up.

"Lord Chu~?" A hint of smugness flashed in Sonoko's eyes as she called out softly with a smile.

This time, Chu Zhong stopped making excuses and directly took Yuanzi's hand, leading her back to the room.

Like Xiaolan, Yuanzi quickly rummaged through her luggage and pulled out a jelly. This time, she didn't need to shake it; she just started eating it.

The gardener in the dungeon had eaten jelly a few times, so she quickly got the hang of the gardener.

Chu Zhong also rummaged through his luggage and found a packet of seaweed. He opened the package and took a bite of it.

It has a subtle ocean flavor mixed with a delicate fragrance, and its unique taste is so captivating that you'll want to keep eating it.

About ten minutes later,

After finishing the seaweed, Chu Zhong felt thirsty, so he drank some hot water to quench his thirst.

Sonoko slurped up the jelly, her face beaming with the glee of having done something naughty.

"I...I want to go back to my room..."

Sonoko's voice was soft and weak, "I was just lying to Ran, saying I was going downstairs to the restroom..."

If Xiaolan finds out I'm sneaking snacks late at night, she'll definitely scold me...

Chu Zhong understood and quickly helped Yuanzi walk quietly to Xiaolan's room. Then he went to the storage room, took the brewed coffee, and went downstairs.

"Asleep? Perfect..."

Yuanzi gently pushed open the door and saw her best friend lying on the bed, seemingly asleep. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and muttered something under her breath.

despair--

Then, Sonoko turned off the lights in the room, slowly made her way to the bedside, and lay down next to Ran Mouri.

However, this action still woke up Ran Mouri, who was not yet asleep.

"Ran, it's me..." Sonoko said somewhat guiltily, "It's late, you should go to sleep."

"Hmm... it's the garden..." Ran Mouri replied somewhat vaguely, then moved to the side to make room for her best friend to sleep.

Just as he was about to go back to sleep,

Ran Mouri sniffed the air, then hugged her best friend tightly: "Sonoko! What were you doing just now?!"

"Xiaolan, what are you saying?"

"Stop pretending! The floral scent you were using when you spoke gave it away!"

"whee……"

"Sonoko, you're so cunning! You're secretly pulling these tricks!"

"First come, first served~ Besides, Xiaolan, you did it first."

As Sonoko spoke, she leaned close to her best friend's ear, "But Ran, you're absolutely right. Seeing it with my own eyes, it was truly terrifying..."

"Stop talking!" Ran Mouri scolded playfully, "If you keep chatting like this, you won't be able to sleep later!"

Sonoko then shut up.

After a moment, she added, "By the way, Chu Jun will be guarding the first floor tonight, so you can sleep peacefully~"

"Hmm~" Ran Mouri responded, then added, "King Chu is so thoughtful..."

"Yeah~"

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

Everything was silent.

In the side hall, Chu Zhong, buoyed by drinking coffee and a "hand-held bouquet," smiled slightly...

Chapter 112: Play, Sleep, and Get Rewards

Long nights are unavoidable, and focusing on Gin all night is too mentally taxing. Being alone, it's easy to fall asleep without realizing it.

Chu chose to get through the night in a different way.

It's already midnight; everyone in the villa should be asleep by now.

[Deduct 1000 Spirit Essence, Demon King-level Ran Mouri dungeon activated]

[Instance scenario under construction...]

This time, Chu Zhong changed the dungeon scene to a wedding, and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan was dressed in an evening gown.

"Xiaolan~"

Chu Zhong greeted him.

"Husband~!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan threw away the bouquet in her hand and pounced on it.

Chu Zhong was immediately tackled onto the red carpet, but fortunately, his defense was high and he was not injured.

"Well……"

Before he could even say a second word, Chu Zhong was silenced by a warm kiss.

The martial arts fanatic Xiaolan skillfully took out a weapon from her inventory and sat down to study it.

"Honey, your weapon can be upgraded?!"

After a while, Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, exclaimed in surprise, her light evening gown skirt fluttering up and down incessantly.

Chu Zhong admired the beautiful evening gown of the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Of course, this is the most unique weapon in the world."

The attack power of the ordinary willow stick was greatly improved by the fusion and upgrade to the superior light wood stick, which explains why the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan noticed the difference as soon as she studied it.

"Honey, your weapon is getting more and more powerful..."

Martial arts enthusiast Xiaolan's eyes were filled with envy and admiration, like a martial artist who had seen a rare weapon. Her cheeks flushed with excitement, "It feels better and better, I have to study it carefully..."

Seeing that Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, showed obvious affection, Chu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

The first time, Chu Zhong saw that she was frowning and resisting, and thought that the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had no interest or feeling for this kind of thing.

Fortunately, after seeing the negative status, I realized that she just didn't understand what was happening, not that she was indifferent.

Only now did the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan clearly state the positive feedback, and Chu Zhong knew that the previous magical damage was not enough.

In other words, Xiaolan, a martial arts fanatic, derives the most 'happiness' from martial arts-related activities, followed by cooking, with everything else ranking lower.

But now that the magic damage of the Good Quality Light Wood Stick has increased, Chu Zhong estimates that 'weapon research' should rise to the top three in the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan's interest ranking.

A more direct manifestation of this was that six minutes later, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan developed the negative status of "Chaos Lv1," which continued unabated.

Half an hour later, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan had already displayed several negative status effects: "Dehydration Lv2", "Exhaustion Lv4", "Vulnerability Lv4", and "Confusion Lv6".

Clearly, he was captivated by the magic of the "Aoki Stick".

However, Chu Zhong wasn't much better off, also receiving the negative status "Chaos Lv3".

This was, after all, his signature weapon. The martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan studied it without restraint, bumping and smashing it, which greatly affected Chu Zhong.

But it's not easy to stop her, since it was said in the multiplayer instance that Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, would be allowed to study to her heart's content.

This girl holds a grudge. She just took back the equipment and teased him like that. If she goes back on her word... there will definitely be problems if I ask her for help next time.

Chu Zhong recalled that there had been an incident where his teammate, Sonoko, quit midway through a dungeon run.
