I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 693: Is Wanchong Mountain Going to Be Adopted?

The approval of Lin Yi’s proposition by Xu Sheng came as no surprise. Traditional beliefs in Xia strongly discourage exploiting the misfortunes of others.

Although Zhang Yun's personal strength might not be exceptional, she undeniably possesses the supreme skill known as the [Dubhe Strange Scripture]. Therefore, establishing a Blue Star Dubhe Pavilion in her name is a fitting gesture.

Xu Sheng demonstrated particular thoughtfulness in his planning. Acknowledging Xia’s current infrastructural capabilities, the creation of a mountain from scratch presents no significant challenge. Furthermore, Xia’s engineers are adept at integrating modern amenities between mountainous terrains.

Consider the situation on Xiang Wuxing; when Ciyun Peak was solely inhabited by Zhang Yun, the task of maintaining cleanliness throughout the entire mountain was a considerable burden. She had to personally handle the storage of provisions, journeys down the mountain for supplies, and even the collection of water.

However, with the implementation of modern facilities, such mundane tasks are now obsolete. Robotic vacuum cleaners manage the cleaning, essential household items can be ordered via a smartphone, and ingredients can be purchased in bulk, stored in refrigerators without fear of spoilage. The water supply issue is also a non-factor.

Given Zhang Yun's deep-seated desire for vengeance and the opportunity for Xia’s younger generation to engage with the [Dubhe Strange Scripture] earlier, Xu Sheng conferred with Wanchong Mountain. Together, they decided to establish the Blue Star Dubhe Pavilion in Shenxiao.

"Then, I suppose I’ll escort her there soon. I also require some time to myself to reflect and calm my thoughts during this period," Lin Yi mused. He had not yet fully mastered the Dubhe Strange Scripture, and with potential for further improvement, idleness was not an option. Moreover, all of his equipment necessitated reforging.

Since the augmentation of the Blue Star Will, the overall prowess of Blue Star’s cultivators has seen a marked increase. Sun Dachuan experienced this firsthand; his cultivation level surged, and he successfully completed half of the Ninth Transformation objective. However, his proficiency in forging continued to advance at a sluggish pace.

Despite the relatively low dimension of Blue Star, the intelligence of its inhabitants is unparalleled across other celestial bodies. The capability for equipment enhancement, for instance, is currently unique to Blue Star. Yet, the benefits derived from equipment augmentation appear somewhat limited at present.

For cultivators of Lin Yi’s caliber, enhancing equipment to the +30 mark yields a negligible overall improvement. However, for average cultivators, +30 equipment remains an unattainable fantasy. Where would ordinary individuals procure the substantial resources required for forging, or secure the connections necessary to commission forging masters for significant equipment upgrades?

Each time Lin Yi contemplated this, a sense of regret washed over him that Blue Star had not yet developed a truly distinctive, inherent advantage. This line of thought sparked an idea in his mind.

The G Zone of the Imperial Capital was abuzz with activity. Lin Yi's importance to Blue Star was undoubtedly magnified. Upon learning that Lin Yi had brought another young woman into his home, Lin Guodong’s neighbors immediately began to speculate whether the acclaimed War God Xiyue, celebrated as the most beautiful in Xia, had fallen out of favor.

Naturally, these onlookers abstained from any direct criticism of Lin Yi, a bold act in itself. Being both handsome and capable, and having contributed so significantly to Blue Star, no one dared to speak ill of him, even if he had wronged Xiyue.

Within Lin Guodong’s residence, Zhang Yun was diligently adapting to modern life with the couple’s kind assistance. It is worth noting that on Xiang Wuxing, individuals lacking any intrinsic power source, such as Lin Guodong and his wife, are virtually nonexistent. This observation clearly underscores the fact that Blue Star’s general strength significantly pales in comparison to that of Xiang Wuxing.

Nevertheless, Lin Yi’s ability to attain such formidable strength through cultivation served to galvanize Zhang Yun’s determination to pursue her own cultivation path with unwavering dedication. Only through diligent training, she believed, could she one day acquire sufficient power to personally exact revenge upon her enemies and honor the memory of the over a hundred individuals associated with the Dubhe Pavilion.

Lin Guodong and his wife regarded Zhang Yun’s predicament with profound sympathy. The immense burden carried by a sixteen-year-old girl was truly heartbreaking, prompting them to treat her with exceptional kindness and care.

As the couple was engrossed in preparing a meal for Zhang Yun, a distinct knock sounded at their door. Given their son’s considerable achievements, the couple frequently received unexpected visitors. However, any guest wishing to meet them was required to secure prior approval.

Today, however, the couple heard no preliminary inquiry from the security personnel before someone proceeded to knock directly on their door, indicating that the visitor possessed an unusual level of privilege. Their assumption proved correct, but upon opening the door and observing the scene, they were utterly dumbfounded: the doorstep was empty.

"Guodong, who is it? Please invite them in," came a voice from within. The soup was still simmering in the kitchen, and the meat had just been added to the pot, making it impossible for both of them to attend the door. Consequently, Xu Qingfang instructed Lin Guodong to answer it. "I don't know. There was no knock. How strange," Lin Guodong replied.

Just as Lin Guodong was about to close the door, a voice filled with bewilderment emanated from nearby. "Mr. Lin, am I truly that short?"

Initially, Lin Guodong was mystified, but then his gaze followed the source of the voice, revealing a cat that was entirely white.

"Was that you speaking, little cat?"

As a normal person, Lin Guodong possessed no knowledge that the principal of Shenxiao was a feline.

All he was aware of was that, in this current day and age, cats were an extreme rarity.

"Uh, Mr. Lin, it was indeed I speaking, my name is......"

Before Wanchong Mountain could even finish his sentence, Lin Guodong was taken aback.

A talking cat; this was a most peculiar phenomenon he had never encountered before.

"Please, Mr. Lin, do not be alarmed. I am the principal of Shenxiao, my name is Wanchong Mountain. Should you doubt my words, I can readily present the Shenxiao badge for your inspection."

While Lin Guodong did not recognize Wanchong Mountain personally, he had frequently observed the Shenxiao badge due to his son, thus he naturally acknowledged its authenticity.

Upon discovering that this talking cat at his doorstep was, in fact, his son's principal, Lin Guodong found himself in a state of indecision regarding how to proceed.

Extending a hand to shake a cat's paw seemed peculiar, yet inviting the feline directly into his home also felt rather improper.

Despite Wanchong Mountain's outwardly adorable appearance, he was, nevertheless, recognized as one of Xia's esteemed War Gods.

At this precise moment, Zhang Yun, alerted by the developing commotion, swiftly emerged from within.

Upon glimpsing a white cat situated at the entrance, Zhang Yun's youthful heart was instantly overcome with a surge of tenderness and affection.

With astonishing speed, she raced to the door and gently lifted the kitten into her embrace, a move that simultaneously surprised both Lin Guodong and Wanchong Mountain.

"Hehe, where did this adorable little kitten come from? So precious! Are you perhaps homeless, just like me? How utterly pitiful."

Having uttered these words, Zhang Yun looked upwards, her large eyes blinking, and in a voice that was both soft and delicate, she began to earnestly implore Lin Guodong, her elder:

"Mr. Lin, this little feline is truly pitiable. Might we consider adopting it? I promise to earn money to provide for it in the days to come."
