"Who could it be this early in the morning?" Du You picked up his wristwatch that was buzzing persistently. Still groggy from just waking up, he opened his watch to reveal a holographic screen with Xi Qianxue appearing on the other end.
Xi Qianxue, upon appearing, first gave Du You a glare before turning away. "Look at the ti, get up."
Du You, still a bit dazed, checked the ti to find that it was already noon. He gave a sheepish smile and ended the communication on the watch. He understood already what Xi Qianxue had been up to.
Looking around, the bed was in complete disarray, with two sisters curled up in their blankets, sound asleep. Although none of the unduly inappropriate was seen by Xi Qianxue, it was a sight that would indisputably make a girl sowhat uncomfortable.
Before Du You could wake the two, they were stirred awake by his movents. Realizing that their previous state had been seen by others, both sisters turned beet red, and shyly hung their heads.
"There’s no need to be shy, being seen ans being seen; nothing was exposed. Besides, it was just a woman."
Du You really did not mind his won being seen by another woman, furthermore, Xi Qianxue wasn’t gay, either.
Getting up to tidy up a bit, Du You once again opened his wristwatch, "So, why did you suddenly contact today?"
Xi Qianxue seed rather hesitant to look directly at Du You, and her gaze was constantly darting around. Seeing her like this was a first for Du You, but he didn’t dwell on it.
"I’ve arrived at your door, hurry down and welco ."
What? She’s at his door? Wait, how did she know where he lived? Even though he had that thought, Du You was not foolish enough to ask directly, as it would seem quite impolite.
"Alright, I’m coming down," Du You turned to the sisters and said, "We have guests at ho, tidy up."
The two sisters whispered an acknowledgnt, before directing the robots and biochemical humans to start preparations. After all, this was the first ti they had a guest at ho; they had to ensure a hospitable environnt.
Moreover, the two of them also desired to divert attention to their work.
Getting to the front door, Du You saw that Xi Qianxue was indeed waiting there alongside Lan Xiaodie and Daniu. A group of bodyguards quickly fanned out around Du You’s house for protection. Du You just smirked, thinking there couldn’t possibly be any danger here in the Imperial Capital.
After letting them in and exchanging pleasantries, Du You glanced over at Lan Xiaodie who was busy alongside the two sisters and Daniu standing on the side like a statue. He then asked, "What made you suddenly want to visit ?"
Being surrounded by servers and protectors was normal for Xi Qianxue, but it was sothing Du You was unaccustod to. Despite the sisters being his nominal slaves, he had never treated them as servants. After all, he himself was a commoner.
Noticing Du You’s discomfort, Xi Qianxue said, "Daniu, sit over there, don’t just stand." Daniu gave a nod and respectfully moved to a distance.
Then, Xi Qianxue said, "The main reason I ca to see you was to express my gratitude for saving my life."
Du You waved his hand dismissively, "You’re exaggerating. Even if I hadn’t gone, soone else would have. You wouldn’t have been in any danger."
Xi Qianxue shook her head, "No, by the ti others got there, it would have been too late. But never mind that, here is my thank-you gift."
Xi Qianxue placed a box on the table and pushed it toward Du You. Upon opening, it revealed a book. However, this wasn’t an ordinary book, but a skill book.
Skillbook (Light and Darkness United): Eliminate the conflict between summoned creatures of light and dark attribute. It allows dark attribute summons to withstand and accept the enhancent and healing abilities of light attribute forces, and vice versa for light attribute summons. (Constant level)
Seeing this, Du You was montarily speechless. He never expected such a skill to exist.
It was obvious, Xi Qianxue had chosen it specifically for him. This skill was perfectly crafted for his situation, a decision she had likely made once she realized he had a unicorn.
The unicorn was very useful, but it often conflicted with his own summoned creatures. Du You primarily used the unicorn to compensate for his own deficiencies, rather than to maximize his fighting power.
Nonetheless, with the Light and Darkness United skill, the future would be entirely different.
Obtaining such an unconventional and rare skill would be incredibly difficult for him. "This, despite being very useful to , it’s too precious." Du You hesitated for a mont, wanting to say sothing, but was interrupted.
"This is my thank-you gift, my life is more precious than a re skill. Besides, normal people would not be able to make use of this kind of skill. After all, not everyone has contrasting attribute summons and pets."
Having thought it over, Du You nodded in agreent. Aside from him, such a conflict-creating situation would be rare. People were already concerned about enhancing their combat effectiveness, they wouldn’t intentionally seek trouble. It was only because Du You didn’t want to team up with others and thus adopted this complentary approach.
More importantly, his combat effectiveness was always sufficient with no urgent need for excessive stacking.
Seeing Xi Qianxue’s sincere gaze, Du You finally consented, "Alright, I’ll accept it then." This skill aligned perfectly with his situation, requiring only a few crystal coins for him to learn it effectively.
Du You didn’t anticipate other modifications. Forcing a modification would not only be expensive but could potentially produce detrintal effects. Unfortunately, he’d spent almost all his crystal coins last ti, resulting in him being unable to learn this skill.
He decided to keep it for now and learn it when he got more crystal coins.
"It’s good you ca, I have so things I’d like to show you." If Xi Qianxue hadn’t co to see him, Du You would’ve contacted her in a few days as he had quite a few valuable items in his possession.
Xi Qianxue smiled faintly, acknowledging Du You’s formidable strength. Being a powerful solo adventurer, the probability of him acquiring high-quality items was much higher than that of team players. The last world was also very suitable for her.
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising at all that he had acquired so items of the cold ice attribute.
Du You took out so cold ice skills and placed them one by one in front of Xi Qianxue. Finally, he also took out the Bloodline Stone of the Snow Emperor.
