No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"You fucking scheme really harmed three wise men with one move..."

Blueberry Dip scratched his head, perhaps to comfort Jiang Shu, or perhaps because he felt guilty for causing Jiang Shu so much trouble. In any case, he smiled and comforted him, "Actually, brother, you're not at a loss. To be honest, my sister is really good. If things really fall apart on your end, I'll just give my sister to you in marriage."

Jiang Shu was genuinely impressed by Blueberry Dipping Sauce's words: "It's one thing to betray your sister Huang Yao, but when it really matters, you're actually willing to sell her out for personal gain?"

“How can this be called seeking glory?” Blueberry with sauce said awkwardly, “I’m not seeking glory, I just want to be true to my conscience.”

"You don't deny that you sold your sister, right?"

"Hey, what are you saying? It's just that I trust you, I think you're a really good person, so as your younger brother, I feel at ease."

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes: "Speaking of which... can what you say really be true?"

The blueberry dipping sauce user hadn't expected Jiang Shu to take it seriously and was immediately speechless: "This..."

"You hesitated!"

"Brother, are you really going to take it...?"

"So you're kidding me, aren't you?"

“The problem is, I really don’t have the final say… If all else fails…” Blueberry with sauce sighed, a ruthless glint in her eyes: “After all, I really did wrong you this time. How about this, I’ll drug you and give you one chance.”

"..." Jiang Shu pursed her lips: "To be honest, that's a bit disgusting..."

"Oh, I wasn't talking about my sister, I was talking about myself."

"?"

Jiang Shu moved her lips but didn't make a sound, but the blueberry sauce could hear the four words "national essence" through her lip movements.

As the two were talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Jiang Shu didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was Sebastian.

But then he suddenly remembered that Sebastian had a key, and since he didn't know he was back, he should have just used the key to open the door.

"Who?" he asked.

"It's me~" Snow Queen's voice sounded very happy: "I have a surprise for you!"

Jiang Shu felt a chill run down his spine.

Meanwhile, the blueberry dipping sauce had somehow ended up cracking open the sunflower seeds on the coffee table: "That voice sounds so familiar, do I know it?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hide first!" Jiang Shu didn't have time to explain anything and stuffed the reluctant blueberry dipping sauce into the wardrobe.

"Pfft." Blueberry spat out the sunflower seed shells, dipped in sauce, and quietly pushed the wardrobe door open a crack. While secretly observing, she muttered to herself, "Sis, don't worry, I'll definitely get rid of her..."

But when he saw the Snow King's face clearly, he was stunned.

"is her?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Shu had already brewed the tea.

"We don't have any better tea at home."

"It's alright." Turning her gaze away from the tea packaging, Xue Wang said softly, "But this looks like my father's tea."

“That’s what I meant.” Jiang Shu nodded. “I couldn’t find any better tea at your place.”

"Um..."

“So,” Jiang Shu said, taking a small sip of tea.

It seems that Snow King was busy with something before and just returned. It seems that she hasn't had time to receive any junk information yet.

What surprise did you bring me?

Upon hearing Jiang Shu's question, Xue Wang immediately put down his teacup.

Then she sat up straight and blinked expectantly: "Do you see any changes in me?"

Jiang Shu carefully looked Xue Wang up and down.

"Hey? You got new earrings?"

"Uh..." Xue Wang couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or happy, because although it wasn't something she wanted Jiang Shu to notice, she had indeed dressed up nicely before coming to see Jiang Shu.

"That's not it."

“That’s…” Jiang Shu continued to observe: “Ah, you didn’t have any makeup cake today!”

"You mean I had powder buildup before...?" Snow Queen asked, somewhat embarrassed.

"Uh..."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this now, you can continue reading."

"Hmm..." Jiang Shu frowned.

Snow King frowned, a mixture of anticipation and worry in his eyes.

"Ah!" Jiang Shu discovered something.

"You discovered it?"

"The nail polish on my left index finger is 0.5 shades lighter than yesterday!" Jiang Shu said with certainty.

Snow King looked down at her toes and asked cautiously, "You...do you usually observe things this carefully...?"

Judging from Xue Wang's tone, Jiang Shu knew that he had guessed wrong again.

But at this moment, Xue Wang had successfully aroused Jiang Shu's competitive spirit.

So when Xue Wang said helplessly, "Fine, I'll just tell you directly," Jiang Shu firmly refused.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out soon!"

Jiang Shu raised his hand to stop him, then continued:

"The third blood vessel in your right eye, counting from left to right, is gone!"

"no..."

"The 3,284th hair on the left side of my head, counting from the front, has turned white!"

"no..."

"The pore on the left side of your nose, at 3.1415926 centimeters from the four o'clock position, is a little smaller than yesterday!"

"no..."

"Ugh... Damn it... Wait, give me another chance, I think I'm pretty close..."

Jiang Shu's facial features were contorted in pain:

"That must be..."

"I just reached level six in the hatchery." Snow King sighed and finally revealed the correct answer.

"Grass!!!"

Jiang Shu slammed his fist on the sofa in frustration.

Chapter 283 Jiang Shu's Plan to Flourish Both Literature and Sports

"I was... so close... so close to guessing it..."

Jiang Shu clutched his head in anguish.

My competitive spirit had just been ignited, and before I could even unleash it, it was abruptly interrupted. This feeling was even more unbearable than being completely stopped.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have revealed the correct answer so early."

Snow King offered a helpless consolation, as if she truly believed him.

Although she actually saw with her own eyes that Jiang Shu's last gaze lingered on her bra strap before making his final judgment.

But there's nothing he can do; she spoils him.

However, Jiang Shu isn't always this willful.

After thinking it through, he honestly said, "However, I really can't tell. In any case, it's very difficult for people of the same level to see each other's true skill level, right?"

“But there will always be changes in their spirit and energy.” Snow King pouted and whispered, “I think you can tell.”

"Hmm...hehe." Jiang Shu chuckled.

Snow King didn't say much, letting Jiang Shu brush it off.

Then he turned to ask about Jiang Shu's situation in fighting against the hatchery.

“The points are close, but there’s a problem now.” Jiang Shu said with some frustration, “Those people have become smarter. No matter how much I provoke them, they won’t fall for it. But those people at the top of the rankings have new rules. If I rashly compete with them, I will suffer.”

Snow King immediately understood what was going on.

"They're following the format of the main competition, right? Then you'll definitely be at a disadvantage."

Seeing that Xue Wang was knowledgeable, Jiang Shu didn't explain further, but simply nodded and said, "But you've come at just the right time."

Upon hearing this, the Snow King knew that Jiang Shu already had a plan, and immediately asked, "How can I help?"

Jiang Shu didn't hide anything and said directly, "I'm thinking of using the Holy Temple's strategy section."

"This..." Snow King hesitated and did not agree immediately.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu sighed and didn't press the matter further: "Alright, I know that the Holy Temple's strategy area resources and related information are only available to internal staff. I was being a bit presumptuous. Just pretend you didn't hear me."

After saying that, he picked up Xue Wang's teacup with a dejected look and went to refill her water without saying a word.

"Hmm..." Upon hearing this and seeing this appearance, the Snow King's inner turmoil was almost palpable on his face.

That feeling of being torn between wanting to help Jiang Shu on one hand, and feeling uneasy on the other, first triggered her wicked side to think.

In principle, I cannot agree to that.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that my father is my principle.

If one's father listens to one's principles, does that mean one's father also follows principles?

It is said that one's destiny should be in one's own hands, and one's principles should also be determined by oneself.

And... this doesn't count as giving preferential treatment or special privileges, does it?

Since Jiang Shu is essentially a member of the Bureau of Different Lineages and can be considered an international student, it would be perfectly reasonable and a good thing for him to showcase his cultural heritage to international students in order to promote the Holy Church.

Thinking about this, Snow King suddenly understood.

This is diplomacy; rules and regulations are negotiable when dealing with foreign friends.

"Hmm... I can think of a way," Snow King suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, a wicked smile, unseen by the Snow King, appeared on Jiang Shu's lowered face.

"Then trouble you."

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Snow King scolded, then, remembering something, asked with some confusion, "However, I don't understand, if you just want to enter the hatchery to level up, you don't necessarily have to go through our Sanctuary's strategy area, do you?"

In response, Jiang Shu explained, "I could choose for myself, but what I lack right now is experience points and efficiency. So if I can use the strategy section and resources of the Holy Temple, it will save me a lot of trouble and provide a guarantee. I can then focus on navigating those hatcheries that have already been selected and have some reference materials."

There are many types of hatcheries, and the rewards are also varied, with different focuses on the output.

The item incubation field, which the Bureau of Different Principles has studied most deeply, and the confrontation incubation field, which the Holy Temple has mastered, are all very special and have very extreme focuses.

Determining what output an incubator should focus on requires significant research investment. If an individual makes a selection based on their own system without any reference, it is indeed easy to go astray.

It's like a fitness novice coming to a gym, facing a room full of equipment, but not knowing how to use it or what parts of the body each machine is designed to work, so it's easy to make mistakes.

The organized strategy team is essentially the coach.

Ultimately, how well you achieve your training depends on yourself, but a coach can teach you what the different instruments are for, how to exert force during training, how to adopt the standard posture, and even provide training plans, telling you the fastest way to achieve the results you want.

Therefore, if efficiency is the priority, having such a platform is definitely better than figuring it out on your own.

Jiang Shu is currently lacking experience points, but it's inconvenient for him to return to the Bureau of Different Principles, so the Holy Temple's strategy area is naturally the best choice.

With the resources of the Sanctuary and a bunch of high-level skills and items at hand, you can temporarily stop focusing on those difficult and risky hatcheries and instead prioritize choosing low-difficulty hatcheries that you can clear quickly. You can clearly identify which hatcheries focus on experience output and how to arrange a speed-clearing plan to maximize efficiency.

Even if we really need those, it's better to just grab them in the competitive hatchery than to wait for random drops in the hatchery and hope for good luck.

Not only can you clearly know what you can get, but it also comes much faster.

Take evolution points, for example.

Jiang Shu had already acquired quite a few of these items in the high-level arena, and with the fourfold bonus and the mechanism that physical strength increases with charm, he had already raised all his stats to the maximum of level six.

Although intelligence is a bit troublesome, since the base multiplier is relatively low, he still managed to maximize it and even had some left over.
