Chapter 34 - Listening to Love Through a Wall

They nodded. Xinyue and Aria were not stupid. There had been so many people fighting the monsters in the outer area harmoniously without many fights breaking out. There must be rules. Otherwise, it would just be a bloodbath.

After the discussion, Han Gui left with Xinyue. Seeing Han Gui and Xinyue leave together, Aria could not help but blush.

They were adults. One did not need to think too hard to know what a couple would do in private since there were no other entertainment options in Infinite Space.

Not long after, Aria heard sounds that made her blush.

Her legs were squeezed close together as she squirmed as if she couldn’t control herself.

The voices from the room were as soft as a mosquito’s but they were crystal clear to her. Her toes started to curl.

She turned around and saw that Han Gui had not closed the door properly. Through the crack in the door, she vaguely saw a strong man carrying an ivory-like beauty on his shoulders.

She did not dare to look at them anymore and quickly ran back to her room.

She tossed and turned but the voices did not stop for a while. Aria did not know when she fell asleep.

…

The next day, Han Gui and Xinyue walked out of the bedroom refreshed. When he saw the resentful eyes of Aria with dark circles underneath, Han Gui wondered if something had happened yesterday

Xinyue’s pretty face flushed red. It was obvious that Aria had been kept awake by their bedroom matters.

After breakfast, Han Gui brought Xinyue and Aria to the dark region again. He did not plan to go deep this time. Instead, Han Gui hunted in the central region. Aria stayed at the border between the outer and central region, working hard on her kills.

Gaining three attribute points was very difficult for Aria. But she wanted to increase her attributes. Fortunately, attribute points did not have to be increased by character points and crystal cores. High-intensity training and life-and-death trials could also increase attributes, albeit slowly.

Plus, Han Gui did not appreciate idleness in the people he had chosen to keep by his side.

The 1,000 points and discount card he had used on her did not simply fall from the sky. If it weren’t for Aria’s potential, Han Gui wouldn’t have bothered spending them any time soon.

Aria continued to fight off monsters, aiming at their heads from various angles with her triangular military knife.

However, she was still not strong enough. She couldn’t even get her knife through a zombie with 3 attribute points for Constitution and Strength.

Fortunately, the zombie had pretty low Agility which meant it moved slower and more rigidly. Otherwise, Aria would have been killed long ago. Even so, if she got hit by the zombie, she could still vomit blood.

Having 3 Strength points was equivalent to having a hitting force of 150kg in a fist. If it weren’t for the fact that she knew how to deflect attacks, she would have been killed by a single punch.

The punch she just dodged even made a hole in the ground.

Han Gui was observing Aria from afar and started to fear a little for her.

However, Han Gui could tell that Aria was improving. If she was not able to improve under such training, she might as well die.

Monsters would not reason or agree to fight one-on-one. All they knew was that the moment they are conscious and able to move, they would just go for the kill.

Unfortunately, with two zombies and a skeleton soldier attacking her, Aria was starting to falter. The triangular military knife had stabbed into the head of one zombie many times but she still couldn’t get through. Her initially strong defense had finally been broken.

With a muffled groan, Aria quickly withdrew and retreated momentarily. But a big stinky hand swung over and slapped her in the back. She was almost knocked over but managed to regain her footing. In an instant, she spun around and knocked out the zombie to the ground.

After killing one zombie, dealing with the remaining two became much easier. By using her Advanced Movement Technique, she only took a little more than ten minutes to kill the other two monsters.

Aria finally had a moment to take a breather and relax a little. She took in a deep breath of cold air and lifted her clothes to inspect the bruised palm print on her back. Her eyelids twitched.

She silently admitted that this hit almost knocked her out cold. A monster with 3 Strength points was just too terrifying.

She put her shirt back down and started to search through the corpses to look for crystal cores. In the end, she was able to leave happily with one core in hand.

Han Gui was still watching from afar and observed that Aria had escaped death many times and also reaped many rich rewards. When he calculated properly, he realized that Aria had killed forty-three monsters and obtained seven mana cores.

Her drop rate seemed different from his and Xinyue’s. Between the couple, they only had five crystal cores from the day. Were his and Xinyue’s luck that bad?

Han Gui had a feeling that there might be something else going on.

Aria consumed all seven crystal cores directly. As such, her Strength and Agility had increased by 0.2 points respectively. She used her remaining 3 points on her Constitution.

Strength equated to attack power, Agility was equal to speed, and Constitution represented the body’s strength and speed of recovery.

Though the increase was small, they should not be underestimated. With an additional 0.7 points in her attributes, Aria was finally able to fight the monsters around her with a little more ease.

Han Gui regrouped with the girls and returned early to the city. He wanted to pay another visit to Shangguan Qian. There was a missing piece of information that had been nagging at him.

When Shangguan Qian saw Han Gui pull up a chair by his stall with Aria and Xinyue in tow, he rolled his little eyes and smiled wretchedly.

“My dear friend, I didn’t expect you to be back so soon! And you’re looking like you’ve been doing quite well too. How can I help you today?”

It had only been two days since they last saw each other, and Han Gui already had two girls following behind him. Obviously, he was doing well. Where else could he find such obedient and beautiful girls in Infinite Space?

Han Gui ignored Shangguan Qian’s comment and directly asked, “Fatty, does the drop rate of the crystal cores follow a certain pattern?”
