They stood awkwardly by the sofa in their slip nightgowns, their eyes holding a hint of shyness and anticipation.
Zuo Feng smiled, "Welcome to the team, please sit down, no need to be so formal."
Since these two girls had just joined the Firefly Squad, Zuo Feng didn't tease them; he just gently patted their shoulders, signaling them to relax.
Lu Youyou and Fen Taotao exchanged glances, feeling a little more at ease, and slowly sat on the sofa.
Zuo Feng also leaned back comfortably on the sofa, looking around at the charming girls, a sense of pride swelling in his heart—these girls were all his!
Soon, Zuo Feng’s gaze fell on Bai Duanqian, the only one who didn't fit in—she was actually wearing conservative pajamas instead of a slip nightgown.
Zuo Feng twitched his lips, secretly vowing: One day, he would make Bai Duanqian dance for him in a slip nightgown!
"Big pervert, you haven't given Youyou and Fenfen their codenames yet," Da Yuanyuan gently reminded him.
Zuo Feng paused, his gaze sweeping over Lu Youyou and Fen Taotao.
Both Lu Youyou and Fen Taotao had chest sizes similar to Xiao She Jing. Both women became Mutants by consuming xiao songta (little pine cone), and both possessed a Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Life Without End) skill.
Lu Youyou was a support-type Mutant. Her first skill was "Speed Aura," which could increase teammates' movement speed. The A-level metal weapon Zuo Feng prepared for her was a Book of Blessing, which could enhance the aura's effect.
Fen Taotao, on the other hand, was an attack-type Mutant. Her mutation attribute was a weapon—a long saber. Her first skill was "Dance of the Blade," where the long saber's movements could generate blade energy with an extremely wide attack range. The A-level metal weapon Zuo Feng prepared for her was a second long saber, which could significantly boost the power of the blade energy.
Zuo Feng pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Youyou will be Xiao Dian Dian, and Fenfen will be Little Knife Girl."
Xiao Dian Dian and Little Knife Girl exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with excitement and thrill. They knew that with codenames, they had officially become members of the Firefly Squad, which also meant they were Feng Ge's women.
The two women's codenames were thus set.
Lu Youyou's codename: Xiao Dian Dian.
Fen Taotao's codename: Little Knife Girl.
Da Mi Tao took out the weapons already forged for the two women from the kongling crystal and handed them over.
Receiving the weapons, Xiao Dian Dian and Little Knife Girl's eyes sparkled with excitement—they also had A-level metal weapons!
"Xiao Nan Ren, this afternoon, Pang Duduo and Yuan Gun Gun each produced two more kongling crystals, oh, here you go…"
Da Mi Tao lay in Zuo Feng's arms, smiling as she handed him four sparkling kongling crystals.
Zuo Feng took the kongling crystals, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He glanced at Xiao Dian Dian and Little Knife Girl, thinking to himself, "These two girls are really lucky; they joined just as the kongling crystal harvest was abundant."
"Feng Ge! Mine, mine! I want one!"
The moment Xiao Lingxian saw the kongling crystals, she couldn't hold back. She immediately pounced into Zuo Feng's arms, shaking his arm playfully, her eyes full of longing. She had waited almost a month, and finally, there were kongling crystals again.
Zuo Feng dotingly stroked Xiao Lingxian's head, chuckling softly, "Alright, alright, here's one for you."
Xiao Lingxian took the kongling crystal, her eyes sparkling with joy. She kissed Zuo Feng's cheek and excitedly bounced back to her original spot, not forgetting to add, "Feng Ge, you can ask me for any service you want, anything at all!"
Zuo Feng shook his head helplessly; this Xiao Lingxian was truly becoming more and more open and daring.
"Come, Xiao Dian Dian, Little Knife Girl, one for each of you."
Zuo Feng handed two kongling crystals to Xiao Dian Dian and Little Knife Girl respectively. Surprise flashed in their eyes as they carefully took them, then, a little shyly, each kissed Zuo Feng's cheek and whispered, "Thank you, Feng Ge."
Of the four kongling crystals, three were immediately distributed. Zuo Feng gently caressed the last remaining kongling crystal, his peripheral vision sweeping over Bai Duanqian.
This Bai Duanqian was still putting on airs. She clearly longed for it immensely, yet always pretended not to care.
Zuo Feng smiled slightly. He had originally planned to tease Bai Duanqian, to give her this kongling crystal if she danced in a slip nightgown, but then he thought that given Bai Duanqian's proud personality, it wasn't suitable to tease her now.
After all, Bai Duanqian was still self-hypnotizing herself—she was still in the probationary period for Firefly.
Zuo Feng shook his head and gently placed the last kongling crystal in front of Bai Duanqian:
"Our Bai Dashi (Grandmaster Bai) has been working hard recently. This kongling crystal is a reward from the team. I hope Bai Dashi will accept it with a smile."
Alas… having too many women was truly a sweet burden. He himself still didn't have any kongling crystals; they had all been given to the girls.
Bai Duanqian was momentarily stunned. Of course, she wanted a kongling crystal, but she also knew how precious they were. Only core members of the Yinghuo Team could possess them, and she was still in the probationary period for Firefly. How could she possibly accept it?
"You surname Zuo, not bad. Since you put it that way, I'll reluctantly accept this kongling crystal for now. But I, Bai Duanqian, don't like owing anyone anything, and I will definitely repay it twofold in the future."
Bai Duanqian said she was reluctant, but her hands were honest, eagerly grabbing the kongling crystal, a slight smile playing on her lips. A dazzling kongling crystal, she had one too!
Zuo Feng watched the light in Bai Duanqian's eyes, secretly amused, knowing she was being disingenuous, yet he pretended to nod seriously, "Bai Dashi, you overstate it. Bai Dashi has worked hard recently, this is what Bai Dashi deserves."
Bai Duanqian held the kongling crystal, secretly delighted, yet her expression remained as calm as if a mountain were collapsing before her.
Da Bai Tu watched this scene, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes, secretly amused: "Bai Duanqian, you can't escape. You don't like owing people? Firefly has many precious good things. When you realize you can't repay them all, let's see what you'll do."
"Alright, girls, next we'll address the distribution of xiao songta (little pine cone)."
As soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, the girls' gazes instantly turned to him. Their second lotus seed was about to light up, at which point Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Life Without End) would evolve to Level 2, and this process required consuming xiao songta (little pine cone).
Although Bai Duanqian had never consumed xiao songta (little pine cone), she knew its efficacy: not only could one gain an additional Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Life Without End) skill after consumption, but even more incredibly, it could continuously improve one's physique. This was an irresistible temptation for anyone.
The most incredible thing was that it could continuously improve one's physique; this was a fatal temptation for anyone.
Bai Duanqian pretended to be indifferent, constantly reassuring herself internally: "Bai Duanqian, you already have a kongling crystal, don't be greedy, absolutely don't be greedy!"
However, her gaze involuntarily flickered towards the xiao songta (little pine cone) in Zuo Feng's hand, then she painstakingly moved it away.
Zuo Feng distributed the xiao songta (little pine cone) one by one to the girls, each receiving two (two are needed to upgrade Level 1 Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Life Without End) to Level 2). Of course, Zuo Feng, Da Mi Tao, Xiao She Jing, and Shui Rou had already upgraded their Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Life Without End) to Level 2, so they naturally didn't need any more xiao songta (little pine cone).
Looking at the remaining 54 xiao songta (little pine cone) in his hand, Zuo Feng pondered for a moment, then took out two more and handed them to Da Yuanyuan: "Xiao Dian Dian and Little Knife Girl have now joined us. The female student side is short two Mutant captains. Use these two xiao songta (little pine cone) to cultivate two new captains to fill the vacancies."
Da Yuanyuan took the xiao songta (little pine cone); she was just about to bring this up, but Zuo Feng had already considered it thoroughly.
Facing the remaining 50 xiao songta (little pine cone), Zuo Feng fell into deep thought.
Bai Duanqian was a Mutant who had lit up five lotus seeds, and she also had dual lotus symbiosis. Zuo Feng was considering whether to give her xiao songta (little pine cone). If Bai Duanqian consumed xiao songta (little pine cone), her dual lotus symbiosis characteristic destined her to have two Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Life Without End) skills.
But similarly, her demand for xiao songta (little pine cone) would also be double, especially since she had now lit up 5 lotus seeds, the quantity needed was even unknown to Zuo Feng.
