It turned out Elena's worries were a bit excessive.
When she delayed her return to the territory by twenty minutes, Cang Yue had already finished dinner.
"Elena is so slow."
Handing over the specially kept roast meat, Cang Yue complained, "I finished in ten minutes, and you took over an hour."
Elena: "?"
Really? That fast?
"I'm not lying."
Seeming to notice Elena's doubt, Cang Yue returned to her indifferent state and explained, "I made some clones to help."
"Clones?"
"Yeah." Cang Yue nodded.
"The ice clones are advanced replacements for Ice Butterflies. Though their combat power is a bit weaker, it's no problem to safely bring back the items."
Elena: "..."
Through the logic of mythic creatures, she seemed to understand what the other meant.
"You didn't just stand far away and bomb those coordinate areas, did you?"
"Yeah, that was my just-thought-up guaranteed win strategy."
"...Truly a guaranteed win strategy."
This ridiculous attack method was impossible for her to learn without a proper weapon.
"Elena lost."
"I lost."
"So I'm the strongest under Su Wu!"
"Alright, Cang Yue is the strongest." Elena didn't argue.
In fact, Cang Yue was right.
Not to mention Elena's level was lower than Cang Yue's now, even at the same level, she wasn't confident she could withstand Cang Yue's bursts.
"Here."
Seemingly satisfied with the answer, Cang Yue stopped asking.
After handing over the food she had saved earlier, a glimmer of expectation appeared in her eyes: "Elena, continue your story."
"That might have to wait."
Elena raised her hand and pointed to Su Wu walking over, "Looks like there's a new task again."
"Alright then..."
"Don't rush."
Sitting nearby, Su Wu, overhearing their conversation, said, "Whenever you want to hear stories, just say the word."
"Su Wu has stories too?" Cang Yue asked curiously.
"My own might not be interesting, but..."
Recalling some works from his previous life, Su Wu smiled, "I can tell you others, like the story of the seven Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather."
"Hmm... sounds interesting."
"If you're interested, I'll tell you later."
Taking the glowing orb from Elena, Su Wu continued, "But before that, you might be busy for a while."
"Just now, I got a large batch of hostile lord coordinates again. You'll probably need to spend more time dealing with them."
"Go ahead."
Having already heard of Su Wu's sweeping Dawn Forest plan, Elena was unconcerned: "Compared to being busy, I'm more worried your Intel speed can't keep up with my cleanup speed."
Cang Yue followed: "Me too."
"If you really don't need much time, then help gather some food."
"Food!"
"Not for you to eat."
Glancing at the seemingly excited Cang Yue, Su Wu interrupted, "It's for recruiting new companions. We need at least ten thousand monster corpses."
"New companions!"
Cang Yue remained enthusiastic: "Leave it to me!"
"Looks like another big eater."
Elena, knowing what Su Wu meant by companions, teased, "I wonder who eats more, her or you."
"My appetite's not big." Cang Yue defended.
As a mythic creature, she could even skip eating if not curious.
However...
Glancing at the dozens of monster skeletons nearby, Elena shrugged, "Maybe that's just what you think."
...
After a brief chat, Elena and Cang Yue, after resting, soon resumed their weeding work.
Returning to the Time Room, Su Wu opened the glowing orbs Elena brought back and took out the rewards from smashing the Lord's Hearts.
[Resource Compression Pack: All resources of rookie lord Fu Tian. Opening grants 1123 energy points and 103 units of wood.]
[Resource Compression Pack: All resources of rookie lord Zhao Hao. Opening grants 1616 energy points, 100 units of wood, and 100 units of stone.]
[Resource Compression Pack: All resources of rookie lord Xu Xi. Opening grants 1425 energy points, 140 units of wood, and 40 units of stone.]
...
"Not bad, much richer than the previous poor guys."
Watching the energy points soar to 170,000, Su Wu smiled happily after organizing all the gains.
Thanks to Elena and Cang Yue's full-on efforts, The weeding speed was much faster than he expected.
"Should be able to upgrade the remaining troop buildings to level 3."
However, before upgrading troop buildings, he still had one last thing to do.
Glancing at the countdown in the upper right, Su Wu took out a lord skill card and began drawing a skill.
[Draw successful, congratulations on obtaining the SSS-Tier lord skill—Limiter.]
