Chapter 35: C-grade Wind Blade

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: C-grade Wind Blade

Hearing the words "fierce battle," the shyness in Gu Yihan’s eyes faded slightly.

She also knew that in this cruel world, strength was the only guarantee of survival.

"Alright... I understand."

Gu Yihan took a deep breath and nodded gently.

In truth, the system upgrade did not strictly require this method.

But Lin Ji was a normal man, and facing a beauty of Gu Yihan’s caliber, saying he wasn’t tempted would be a lie.

Moreover, this was also a means for him to assert control.

He wanted the women outside to know that if they wanted to grow stronger in this apocalypse, if they wanted to receive his blessings,

they must pay a price and submit to him completely.

Lin Ji did not close the cabin door.

He directly began to undress.

Seeing this, Gu Yihan’s heart raced so fast it felt like it would leap out of her throat.

But she obediently turned around, her hands gripping the edge of the wooden bed.

Presenting that perfect S-shaped curve unreservedly before Lin Ji.

Lin Ji chuckled softly and pressed himself against her.

...

Outside the cabin.

Although the wooden hut provided some sound insulation, the muffled gasps and rhythmic creaking of the wooden boards inevitably leaked out.

The four women tidying up miscellaneous items on the deck all froze in their movements.

Bai Taotao held a rag in her hand, her small face flushed, her large eyes actually flickering with a hint of curiosity and longing.

"Is Sister Gu... receiving Captain Brother’s enhancement?" the little loli murmured to herself.

Su Qingyue, meanwhile, bit her lower lip tightly, nearly crushing the water bottle in her hand.

A flash of jealousy crossed her icy face as she muttered under her breath.

"Filthy rogue..."

Shen Manyun adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, pretending not to hear anything, though her black-stockinged legs unconsciously pressed closer together.

Tang Ling scratched her messy hair and whispered.

"Transmitting energy this way... theoretically, the efficiency is indeed quite high, but I wonder what the contact area is..."

Half an hour later.

The commotion inside the cabin finally subsided.

Lin Ji let out a long breath, looking at Gu Yihan lying face down on the bed, drenched in fragrant sweat and wearing an expression of satisfaction.

"System, upgrade Gu Yihan’s talent!"

He silently commanded in his mind.

[Ding! 500 Evolution Points consumed!]

[Female follower Gu Yihan’s talent [D-grade Light Body] has successfully evolved into [C-grade Wind Blade]!]

As the system’s notification sounded,

a cyan whirlwind materialized out of thin air inside the cabin and instantly merged into Gu Yihan’s body.

Gu Yihan’s eyes snapped open. The weariness that had clouded them moments ago was now replaced by a sharp, brilliant gleam.

She could clearly feel her body becoming lighter, as if she could ride the wind and take flight at any moment.

More importantly, with a lift of her hand, a faint cyan wind blade visible to the naked eye coalesced at her fingertips!

"I... I can control the wind?"

Gu Yihan stared at her hands in disbelief, then looked at Lin Ji with excitement.

"Thank you! Lin Bao!"

At this moment, not only was her stamina fully restored, but her aura had also undergone a transformation, gaining a sharp, cutting edge.

Simultaneously,

the system’s notification sounded in Lin Ji’s mind as well.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have simultaneously obtained the [C-grade Wind Blade] talent!]

[Ding! Detected that the host has upgraded a female follower’s talent to C-grade, triggering a special reward!]

[Obtained item: Spatial Expansion Pouch (x1)]

[Obtained item: Low-grade Life Detector (Blue Quality) x1!]

[Low-grade Life Detector (Blue Quality)]

[Description: A pair of tactical goggles-style glasses capable of detecting low-grade lifeforms within a specified range.]

[Function One: Low-grade Detection. Can detect the location of creatures within a five-nautical-mile radius and below Level 5.]

[Limitation: Cannot detect inanimate objects; completely ineffective against creatures with Invisibility or Mimicry abilities.]

A satisfied smile curled at the corner of Lin Ji’s lips.

Those 500 Evolution Points were well spent.

The wooden planks in the cabin had ceased their swaying.

Lin Ji sat on the edge of the bed, leisurely fastening the buttons of his shirt.

He opened the system panel and retrieved the special reward he had just obtained.

A pair of tactical-style glasses materialized in his hand.

This was the Blue Quality item, the [Low-grade Life Detector].

Lin Ji toyed with it for a moment before casually putting them on.

"Activate."

With a slight mental command, a faint blue light flickered across the lenses.

Immediately, a simple radar distribution map was projected directly onto his retina.

Although this device couldn’t display terrain and Resource Points like a nautical chart, it was sufficient for early warning.

In his field of vision, dozens of glaring red dots were densely clustered directly ahead.

Those were the Life Signals of Sea Monsters.

And on the periphery of the red cluster, five bright yellow dots were tightly huddled together, seemingly engaged in a fierce tug-of-war with the red dots.

"Quite quick on the move."

Lin Ji sneered coldly and stood up, heading onto the deck.

A sea breeze laden with moisture brushed against his face.

Gu Yihan followed closely behind.

After half an hour of "strengthening," her face, which had been slightly pale from keeping watch, now glowed with an unusually moist blush.

Although her legs were still trembling slightly, and she even had to hold onto the doorframe while walking, her beautiful eyes shimmered with an unprecedented brilliance.

The four women on the deck had long heard the blush-inducing commotion from inside the cabin.

Now, seeing the two emerge, the atmosphere instantly turned somewhat awkward.

Su Qingyue was leaning against the railing, her face unpleasant as she seemed lost in thought.

She lifted her head, a trace of barely concealed resentment flashing in her cool eyes.

She bit her lower lip and finally couldn’t resist, quietly moving closer to Lin Ji.

Her fair, small hand secretly tugged at the corner of Lin Ji’s clothes, giving it a gentle shake.

It was like a silent protest, or perhaps a declaration of her own sovereignty.

Shen Manyun had the strongest reaction.

As a mature woman, she understood all too well what had just happened inside the cabin.

She was so embarrassed that even the roots of her ears turned crimson, utterly unable to meet Lin Ji’s eyes.

She lowered her head, pretending to tidy the table. Her long legs, wrapped in tattered black stockings, unconsciously pressed tightly together, appearing extremely flustered.

Just then, a whisper came from the corner.

Bai Taotao, wearing her somewhat dirty Lolita dress, leaned close to Tang Ling, who was busy organizing supplies.

As an adorable adult loli, she stared at Gu Yihan’s radiant appearance, her large eyes flickering with a hint of shyness and curiosity.

"Sister Tang, don’t you think Sister Gu has become prettier?"

Bai Taotao lowered her voice, whispering into Tang Ling’s ear.

"Could it really be that comfortable doing that kind of thing with a man? The sounds Sister Gu made earlier seemed so pleasurable. I also want to..."

Tang Ling, who was drinking water, nearly choked and spat it out.

Her face instantly flushed as red as if it were about to bleed, and she hurriedly reached out to cover Bai Taotao’s mouth.

"Don’t think such nonsense! A girl should be more reserved!"
