Chapter 379: Mutual Benefits (Second Update)

Zi Jiu Immortal truly didn’t understand why her great-grandmother made such a decision.

But her great-grandmother held an extremely high status in her heart, even if the old lady was always cold to others.

Initially, after her awakening, she was supposed to follow the cultivation techniques provided officially and cultivate step by step.

However, her mother brought over a set of cultivation techniques, disdainfully claiming — we don’t cultivate those common things.

Zi Jiu Immortal felt her mother’s reaction was a bit off: I mean, you’re just a modified warrior, do you really understand how superpower warriors cultivate?

Moreover, my awakened attribute is the very rare sand attribute, there are hardly any suitable cultivation techniques for it.

But her mother calmly insisted: This was prepared for you by your great-grandmother, do not divulge it!

Zi Jiu Immortal only knew her great-grandmother was A-level, but for most superpower warriors, A-level is the peak.

The truth proved listening to her great-grandmother was indeed right, her cultivation speed was significantly faster than the geniuses of the five major attributes.

When she advanced to B-level at the age of twenty-five, the officials even dispatched an A-level investigator.

The cultivation speed of mutated attributes is generally slower than the five major ones, and the sand attribute... is exceptionally slow.

Zi Jiu Immortal realized by then how miraculous her cultivation technique truly was.

So she followed her mother’s instructions, stating she cultivated methodically, no different from others.

The investigator was very dissatisfied, even threatening her, saying that if she wasn’t honest, the consequences might be severe.

Eventually, however, this matter ended inconclusive.

Later, the responsible A-level secretly approached her, explaining he was merely going through the motions, meaning nothing else.

Of course, he was still A-level, wouldn’t lower himself too much, but seeking her out voluntarily spoke volumes indeed.

Zi Jiu Immortal wanted to thank her great-grandmother, but her mom said there was no need—if she hadn’t told you, just pretend you don’t know.

Many times she thought, her great-grandmother... might not be just an A-level warrior on the surface.

Now the old lady asked her to give the cultivation technique to a modified warrior, which truly puzzled her.

She actually heard some rumors and vaguely guessed that the panda might not be simply a modified warrior.

But facing this temp worker who always clutches books, she couldn’t feel any air of significance.

However, the counterpart’s answer now was also shrouded in mystery.

She stared blankly at him, only to see the young temp worker lower his head again, continuing to read.

The female professor pondered for a moment before finally speaking again, "You seem so interested in books, how about checking out the Green Water Academy library?"

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei lifted his head in surprise, paused before answering, "Can I go?"

Zi Jiu Immortal nodded, "Our library isn’t open to outsiders, but I can take you there."

Qu Jianlei paused to think then asked, "Can I see all the books? If there’s a level restriction... it wouldn’t mean much."

Zi Jiu Immortal thought for a moment then asked, "Now, this library, can you access the Rare Books Tower?"

Qu Jianlei nodded without explaining — Granny Jia promised him, but requested him not to make it known.

The female professor felt a bit conflicted; her privilege was high in the academy, yet some books remained out of reach.

Taking this outsider in could lower her privilege, not raise it.

However, eventually, she remarked, "We can discuss levels later, at least you can see the catalog of all books."

Speaking here, she blinked, "If you genuinely wish to read, you should find someone to borrow books for you, right?"

If your great-grandmother is willing to help, the difficulty of borrowing books would be much less — she holds more sway than I do.

Qu Jianlei blinked himself and then chuckled, "Alright, thanks a lot... When’s the time?"

"I’m busy tomorrow, maybe early the day after tomorrow," Zi Jiu Immortal considered before responding, "The book catalog is rather extensive, going in the afternoon might be too rushed."

"Alright," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Do I need to prepare anything?"

"No need," Zi Jiu Immortal waved her hand, "Just call my watch when you reach the school gate."

Qu Jianlei nodded and naturally said, "I don’t have your number, give me one."

"I’ll call you," Zi Jiu Immortal dialed his number on her watch and then turned to leave.

Qu Jianlei hadn’t considered why the female professor had his watch number.

Anyway, he registered his contact info upon employment, so it’s normal for her to know, right?

But some were disgruntled upon seeing it, and the next moment, a graceful figure appeared before him.

"You asked for the number so boldly, yet she had already noted your watch number, someone thoughtful indeed."

Qu Jianlei glanced at her, "So today... did you bring the money?"

It wasn’t anyone else but Xiang Xue who mentioned repaying him for saving her life with money two days ago.

However, Qu Jianlei asked so straightforwardly, making it rather unique. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"I did bring it," Xiang Xue straightforwardly replied, then took out a box, placing it on the table, "Check if it’s enough?"

"Don’t need to check," Qu Jianlei casually set the box aside.

He didn’t hold any expectations for this repayment—if she hadn’t given it, it wouldn’t matter, so why fuss about the amount?

However, this action really irked Xiang Xue—did her life mean so little to him?

She couldn’t help but mildly cough, "Won’t you take a look? There’s a surprise."

Qu Jianlei was indifferent initially, but upon hearing "surprise," he opened the box to take a look.

Indeed, there was a surprise—a surprise of five A-level crystals and a stack of silver notes each worth five thousand, presumably totaling fifty thousand.
