Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 431: Chapter 430: What’s wrong with these little guys today?

```

When Fang Zheng awoke, it was already the morning of the next day.

”Huuuh... home really is the best place to sleep.”

He opened his eyes, yawned, and then looked to his left and right. On the pillow to the left of his head, a kitten was curled up into a ball, fast asleep, while on his right, Little Fire Dragon was lying on him. Upon seeing Fang Zheng wake up, Little Fire Dragon joyfully cried out a few times and then rubbed its head against Fang Zheng’s cheek.

”There you go, little guy.”

Fang Zheng reached out to stroke Little Fire Dragon’s head, truly, the quietness of home was unparalleled. Looking at the two little ones, he felt as though his previously tainted soul had been cleansed... Hm? What happened in the Sea Mist World again? I can’t remember, right, looking at these adorable animals, let’s just pretend those things never happened.

After all, if it wasn’t discovered, it wasn’t a crime, right?

”Yah... yah...”

Little Fire Dragon flapped its wings and flew up, then picked up a jacket with its mouth and handed it to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng took the jacket, petted Little Fire Dragon’s head, and stood by the window, stretching and looking out at the town.

”What a refreshing feeling.”

It was now early morning, and looking out, the Heavenly Dao Palace hadn’t changed much from before. If anything... there were more bronze-colored cute little ones on the streets.

Tanji.

Although Fang Zheng had endured some unspeakable humiliation in the Azure World due to the system’s malice (which he had already pushed to the back of his mind), he felt it was all worth it, after all, he successfully unlocked the Star Spirit’s mart and tech tree.

This was an unexpected joy for Fang Zheng at the moment.

Fang Zheng had not found a good way to arm the Cursed Children. Although the Cursed Children could use Psionic, their usage was extremely rough, it was completely instinctive emission through the ”Intestinal Virus” + ”Zerg Cell”. Of course, for those children with strong Psionic abilities, such as Natsuse and Midori, this was no issue. After all, Kerrigan initially had no equipment and still used her Psionic with great joy, even defeating the Human Race utterly.

But for the other Cursed Children, it was a bit overwhelming. Right now, they could at most use Psionic to strengthen their bodies and defenses, which was obviously not the right way to use it and could even pose a hidden danger to their health.

Moreover, the Zerg themselves aren’t particularly adept at using Psionic, so Star Spirit technology is extremely important in this regard.

Of course, to Fang Zheng, what mattered most were the Star Spirit’s ”Crystal arrays”. Because of the sparse population of the Star Spirits, they greatly valued the protection of each Soldier. This is exactly what Fang Zheng needed most at the moment. Cursed Children are not Zerg, who can easily fight en masse and then show up again three days later. Even with strict training, the majority of Cursed Children capable of fighting alongside Fang Zheng were few.

And even in battle, Fang Zheng didn’t want these kids to die because of him. But with Crystal arrays, even if these kids were gravely injured, they could Fold Leap back to base and not die in combat. And as long as they didn’t die, with their bodies’ Zerg healing abilities, recovering their health was just a matter of time.

For this reason, Fang Zheng had a discussion with Nymph before coming back and had re-adapted the variable wing system, dividing it into stealth infiltration, frontline combat, and support according to the Psionic nature of the Cursed Children.

Of course, if there was any downside, it was that the Star Spirits severely lacked individual ranged weapons, and Fang Zheng did not want the Cursed Children to go into battle wielding curved light blades and playing Wushuang. Thus, for the time being, most of them could only use the firearms Fang Zheng had acquired from the Sima Group in the Black World... which did look a bit incongruous.

In this way, the situation in the Heavenly Dao Palace could be mostly stabilized.

Having changed his clothes, Fang Zheng also sighed, then closed the system interface before him—just to be safe, Fang Zheng hadn’t built more warships in the Azure World. After all, with a fleet led by Musashi, he could virtually sweep through the entire Azure, and indeed he did. Hence in the time following, Fang Zheng was mostly grinding for materials and maps, getting his hands on every usable and unusable core and exchange resource.

After all, the event was time-limited, but materials and resources could be used any time.

And indeed, Fang Zheng’s decision proved to be right, because when he returned to the Heavenly Dao Palace, he realized... although he indeed possessed a cosmic fleet he had dreamt of, the expense was staggering.

According to the system’s settings, within a spherical ”Domain” centered on the Heavenly Dao Palace, these warships could operate freely without any restrictions. But once they left this area, the system would deduct Dimensional Points according to X Dimensional Points/ per day from Fang Zheng’s account. If the Dimensional Count ran out, then these warships could only serve as background decoration at home...

And to expand the operational range of these warships, either a sufficient Dimensional Count needed to be prepared or a large number of Dimensional Points had to be spent to Upgrade the ”Domain” of the Heavenly Dao Palace.

To this, Fang Zheng expressed... heh, Laozi had already foreseen this move!

But with this in mind... the reserves of Spirit Crystals became a serious issue.

Previously, Fang Zheng could get by simply relying on the dividends from the Northern Trading Company, but as his power expanded, his demand for Spirit Crystals also grew higher and higher. Although it wasn’t apparent yet, Fang Zheng was certain that once he displayed enough strength, people with intentions would definitely start investigating, and by then, his collection of Spirit Crystals would certainly be discovered.

To avoid being strangled by something akin to ”oil quota restrictions,” Fang Zheng had also exchanged for quite a few Tanji. Apart from using them for daily construction and maintenance of the Heavenly Dao Palace, he sent them to the nearby seas to search for Spirit Crystal Deposits.

At the same time, Fang Zheng also began to have the Zerg and Followers of the Crimson Realm in the three worlds he controlled help him search for and pay attention to similar energy crystals.

”Thud, thud.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and soon after, Midori’s timid voice came from outside.

”Big Brother... it’s time for breakfast.”

”Alright, I’m coming now.”

Hearing Midori’s voice, Fang Zheng casually replied, then quickly washed up and walked out of the bedroom. Right after, he saw Fumie Busei appear before him. However, looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

He saw that Fumie Busei was not dressed in her usual attire but was instead wearing a maid outfit with a white base and black edges, resembling those found in COSPLAY cafes. The skirt was short enough to reveal her knees and her beautiful, slender legs which showcased an ”absolute territory.” Behind her, a tail was restlessly swinging, and the hat that Fumie Busei usually wore was nowhere in sight, replaced instead by a conspicuous bow tied on the cat ears atop her head.

”You... what is this...?”

Admittedly, the girl’s attire was quite adorable, even Fang Zheng was somewhat enchanted, but he couldn’t understand why Fumie Busei had suddenly changed into such an outfit. They didn’t usually dress like this—could it be another one of Tilia’s schemes? If that were the case, then all Fang Zheng could say was... excellent work!

”Be-because I am your maid, Big Brother...”

Facing Fang Zheng’s question, Fumie Busei replied with a blush, then nervously stretched out her hand to hold down the hem of her skirt, all the while cautiously looking up at Fang Zheng.

”Uh... do you not like this dress?”

”No, it suits you well? It’s very cute.”

Looking at Fumie Busei before him, Fang Zheng reached out to pinch her cat ears, which he found irresistibly soft and pleasant to touch no matter when he fondled them. Sensing Fang Zheng’s touch, Fumie Busei blushed and lowered her head.

”Great!”

Watching the scene unfold from behind the door, Aohara Enju clenched her fists tightly.

”As expected, Brother Fang Zheng couldn’t resist Midori’s charm after all. Now it’s your turn, Natsuse!”

Soon, Midori led Fang Zheng to the dining room, and there Senju Natsuyo, dressed in the same attire, also appeared in front of Fang Zheng, pushing the breakfast cart. freёNovelFire.com

”Brother Fang Zheng, I made your favorite century egg and lean meat porridge and thin-crust buns today... If you don’t mind... then... please enjoy...”

”Oh?”

Looking at the breakfast brought by Natsuse, Fang Zheng was also delighted. Honestly, compared to Western breakfasts of milk and bread, he preferred Chinese breakfasts much more. However, since no one had made it before, he could only complain occasionally. What Fang Zheng didn’t expect was that Natsuse had learned to make Chinese breakfast? For Fang Zheng, this was more than welcome.

”Thank you so much, Natsuse! You and Midori sit down and join me.”

”Okay, Big Brother.”

”Okay, Brother Fang Zheng.”

Hearing Fang Zheng speak, the two girls obediently nodded and then sat on either side of Fang Zheng. Seeing this scene, Aohara Enju nodded in satisfaction.

”Good, everything is going according to plan. Now for the final blow to Brother Fang Zheng, to let him know our charm. Tina, it’s your time to shine! Remember, you must strike Brother Fang Zheng with a fatal blow!”
