Fang Zhou leaned in closer and saw that Su Xinyan was already a little tipsy. She had drunk the large cup of Enchanting Demon's Blood too quickly. Although her body withstood the liquor's impact, the alcohol was already taking effect, slowly eroding what little willpower she had left.

"Instructor Xinyan, it seems you're not having enough fun. How about some more wine to unwind? Keep me company for another drink."

Fang Zhou smiled as he walked behind Su Xinyan, boldly placing a hand on her slender waist.

"Get lost~"

Su Xinyan took a deep breath before opening her hazy eyes, letting out a soft, breathy moan.

Fang Zhou didn't press any closer. Instead, he maintained a slight distance, cheerfully observing Su Xinyan's dazed expression.

She had left her jacket in the laboratory; she was now wearing only a pure white long-sleeved shirt. The collar, with two buttons undone, was turned outward, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her fair skin. Her skin was as smooth and taut as a young girl's, and her figure was exquisitely curvy and well-defined.

Fang Zhou's enthusiasm grew as he admired her.

Su Xinyan gently tidied her slightly messy long hair and stole a shy glance at Fang Zhou before tentatively trying to get up.

Fang Zhou suddenly lost his patience. He decided to begin immediately.

Su Xinyan's breathing became labored as her body felt increasingly heavy. Yet, her muddled consciousness kept screaming at her to stall for as long as possible.

Holding the half-empty bottle of red wine in one hand, Fang Zhou gazed at Su Xinyan's flushed face while caressing her moist, red lips. The once-neat shirt was now rumpled and creased. Su Xinyan's hands were still pressed against his chest, trying in vain to push the pesky apprentice away.

Wine suddenly poured from the bottle, catching Su Xinyan off guard and making her choke.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH."

Another half-bottle of wine quickly vanished. Fang Zhou looked down at the breathless Su Xinyan. Her fair cheeks were flushed scarlet from the alcohol, and her beautiful, intoxicated eyes were staring straight at him. All traces of her previous aloofness were gone. In its place was a heart-stopping allure and an irresistible, sensual charm.

"Instructor Xinyan, you hold your liquor well. The wine's finished, and I see you're a bit tired. How about I help you relax?" Fang Zhou whispered in her ear, his eyes lingering on her delicate earlobe.

He decided to take the next step.

A soft moan escaped Su Xinyan's lips unexpectedly.

"Fang Zhou! Fang Zhou!" Su Xinyan cried out, her body trembling. She was utterly panicked, with no strength left to resist. "Let me go, Fang Zhou. I have something important to tell you."

Su Xinyan was still trembling slightly, her lips parted as she pleaded softly. She weakly struggled to push his head away from her neck, then stared at him with dazed, enchanting eyes and said sweetly, "Fang Zhou, your reward has come through. The micro-vein of Refining Stone you discovered in Cave No. 1 has had its reserves confirmed. The first batch of your reward, five hundred Contribution Points, will be credited to your personal terminal soon. Let me explain the details to you, okay?"

Fang Zhou had no inclination to heed Su Xinyan's murmurs. Besides, he was past the point of no return; not even the King of Heaven could stop him now.

He kissed her forcefully a couple of times before asking with a feigned look of confusion, "What Contribution Points? What reward? I didn't quite catch that, Instructor Xinyan. Could you say it again?"

Su Xinyan was lost in a sea of sensation, her mind a complete blur.

"What was that about a reward?" Fang Zhou asked with a wicked grin, his hand cupping one of her full breasts. "I'm afraid I didn't hear you clearly."

Su Xinyan lay with her eyes closed in silence, as if she had fainted, but a shy, charming flush still colored her lovely face.

「Meanwhile, outside the lounge.」

Bai Xiaochan and Meng Hongzhuang stared at each other, completely dumbfounded.

"I always thought Instructor Xinyan was so cold and distant. How can she be so uninhibited with the great Fang Zhou?" Meng Hongzhuang whispered excitedly.

Bai Xiaochan just blushed and mumbled, not daring to reply. She couldn't help but be flabbergasted by Fang Zhou's incredible stamina.

Inside the lounge, Fang Zhou was having a wonderful time.

...

After several rounds of intimacy, an indescribably warm ambiance filled the room under the night sky. Su Xinyan lay lazily in Fang Zhou's embrace, her cheeks flushed from their recent passion, a trace of allure in her gaze.

Suddenly seeming to remember something, she reached out and gave his side a playful pinch.

Fang Zhou wore a satisfied smile and didn't react to her small gesture, simply holding her more tightly. Amidst the rare peace and intimacy, their breathing gradually slowed, until only their heartbeats echoed in the air.

After a while, Fang Zhou finally asked, "Instructor Xinyan, what was that reward you mentioned earlier? Tell me about it again."

Su Xinyan lifted her head slightly, her almond-shaped eyes wide, appearing slightly miffed that he was only now remembering to ask. "You were so preoccupied just now that you were completely unresponsive. And now you remember to ask."

Her words carried a hint of complaint, but her tone was more flirtatious than anything.

"I was trying to tell you that the Refining Stone vein you discovered in Cave No. 1 has been fully surveyed. The military academy dispatched a professional survey team to assess it, and the results show that it's a micro-vein of the lowest grade."

She continued, "According to the regulations of the Longxia Federation, you will receive five hundred Contribution Points as a reward. Additionally, from now on, you will receive a one-percent share of all the output from this vein. This first batch of five hundred Contribution Points will be transferred to your personal terminal very soon."

As she finished speaking, a playful look flashed in her eyes. "Being a tycoon with so many Contribution Points you can't even spend... don't you find it a bit overwhelming?"

Fang Zhou shook his head with a wry smile and gave her waist a gentle squeeze, making her body tremble slightly.

He said, "I do. I have almost three thousand Contribution Points now. But the Undead Attribute resources I want to acquire can't be bought, no matter how many points I have. It's incredibly frustrating. Whether it's the Nether Amber I need for my own Cultivation, the resources for nurturing the Black Gem Dragon Egg, or the materials for my Alchemy studies—they all require Undead Attribute resources. It's depressing to have all this currency I can't spend!"

Su Xinyan stiffened at his touch but managed to hold back a cry, answering him seriously, "In my opinion, the only solution is to secure a high ranking for our Sea City Military Academy in the upcoming new recruit competition. If we can achieve a good result, the Longxia Federation's military department might make an exception and allocate some rare Undead Attribute resources specifically for you. That's when your Contribution Points will truly be useful."

Hearing this, Fang Zhou sighed softly, his desire for the new recruit competition growing even stronger.

After a moment of thought, he asked again, "Instructor Xinyan, you and the other instructors have been busy preparing for a while now. How long until the new recruit competition begins? And what's the format going to be like?"

Su Xinyan looked up at Fang Zhou and smiled slightly. "It should start in less than a month. The ten of you participating cadets will have special training for about half a month. By then, the ten military academies should have finalized the format for the new recruit competition. From what I've heard, it's highly likely they'll use simulation technology. All one hundred contestants from the ten military academies will be deployed onto a large Simulation Battlefield. The exact competition style—whether it's based on hunting Demons, team battles, or individual combat prowess—hasn't been finalized yet."
