Chapter 776: Chapter 778 Slow Recovery of Strength
What to do?
Principal Hua Yuan was silent for a mont in his seat before saying, “The most urgent matter at hand is to find a complete Gravity Room, or rather, to find the materials to build a Gravity Room.”
The teachers sitting around exchanged glances, lowered their heads, and pondered thoughtfully.
“Principal, the materials for the Gravity Room are only available on one planet and they’re very rare. The people there might not be willing to do us any favors.”
“If the materials weren’t so hard to co by, we wouldn’t want to involve Professor Nian either.”
The principal looked at the speaking teachers and said, “You know we are involving her, let’s not bring it up again.”
“As for the issue with the Gravity Room, I will handle it. Everyone, go to your classes.”
With a wave of his hand, the principal dismissed all the teachers.
Professor Zhou Zhen was the last to leave the conference room. At the doorway, he turned to the still-seated principal and said, “I think Nian Shutong won’t let this matter rest just like that. She’s a very fair person.”
“Mm.”
The principal nodded and said nothing more.
Professor Zhou nodded back to the principal, closed the door behind him, and left.
In the eting room, the principal finally leaned back in his chair, exhausted from the eting. These teachers were all such a handful.
But the words of Professor Zhou were probably right.
Principal Hua Yuan, however, didn’t want to place all his hopes on one person, so he planned to look into the matter himself first.
On the other side, Nian Shutong was still unaware of all this, but if she did find out, she would react just as Professor Zhou had said, she wouldn’t let it go.
Nian Shutong herself had slept for nearly three days, waking intermittently twice. Zhao Dii hadn’t left her ho, always caring for her.
When Nian Shutong finally felt sowhat better, able to sit up on her own, she saw Zhao Dii sleeping outside her door and didn’t quite know what to feel in her heart.
“Sister-in-law.”
“Ah!”
Zhao Dii sprang up imdiately and stood up, looking at Nian Shutong who was now sitting up in bed and asked with a wide grin, “Hungry, girl? Want so water first?”
“Yes, thank you, Sister-in-law.”
“What’s there to thank.”
Zhao Dii brought out so warm water she had been keeping ready and handed it to Nian Shutong, saying, “Drink so warm water, it’s good for your throat.”
“Moisten it first. I’ve got so chicken soup porridge warming up for you, have so in a bit.”
Taking the cup back from Nian Shutong, Zhao Dii held it in her hands and with a simple smile said, “You must be hungry, wait here, Sister-in-law will go get you the porridge, it’s just downstairs.”
Nian Shutong had no chance to speak as Zhao Dii moved quickly, soon going downstairs and coming back up, this ti carrying a bowl of chicken soup porridge.
“I learned it from Little River Live, it has lily bulbs and shredded chicken in it. It’s not greasy and is nourishing too. Give it a try.”
Just as Nian Shutong was about to reach out, Zhao Dii took the bowl back and muttered to herself, “You shouldn’t hold it, let Sister-in-law feed you.”
And so, Zhao Dii spoon-fed Nian Shutong, until the bowl of porridge was clean.
“Eating is good, eating is good. Let tell you, being able to eat ans your body’s mostly recovered.”
Zhao Dii put the empty bowl aside.
“Sister-in-law, thank you.”
“No need, no need. We’re neighbors, no need for thanks. You never looked down on for my lack of education; I’m happy enough.”
Nian Shutong said with a gentle smile, “Sister-in-law, education can be learned, but a person’s character is innate and truly valuable. You’re better than anyone else.”
Hearing Nian Shutong’s words, Zhao Dii’s smile widened until her eyes nearly disappeared with joy.
“Ha ha ha, that sounds so good. It’s different when a cultured person speaks.”
“Complints that really go to the heart.”
Zhao Dii didn’t stay long. She said to Nian Shutong, “If you need anything, just call Sister-in-law, send a ssage to my Light Computer, and I’ll be right over.”
“You rest up for a couple of days, I’m just next door, not going anywhere.”
“Don’t bother cooking for yourself, I’ll bring food over every day. Got it?”
“Got it.”
Nian Shutong agreed cheerfully, but in her mind, she was already thinking about what she should arrange for Sister-in-law to win in the next Little River Live session.
After Zhao Dii left, Nian Shutong was the only person left in the house, but the little white mouse, Little Black Rabbit, and Little Silver Snake were still there.
“Daodao, did I do anything to harm Sister-in-law Zhao while I was asleep?”
She rembered that Zhao Dii had fallen asleep at the door.
“Master, rest assured, you didn’t. But Zhao Dii is also very smart. She noticed that when she was beside you, your body was particularly tense, and as soon as she stepped out the door, you relaxed. That’s why she kept sitting at the door watching over you.”
Nian Shutong nodded. Zhao Dii might be simple, but she also had her own intelligence.
It seed like arranging a few more prizes for her would be a good idea.
“Daodao, let’s look into the Gravity Room issue. If we’ve damaged it, we have to compensate.”
“I knew Master would think this way, so I’ve already prepared the information. Have a look.”
Nian Shutong began reviewing the information Daodao had found. The material used to construct the Gravity Room was called Gravity Stone, which was a very rare material, rarer even than a top-grade crystal stone.
“It’s over, this thing is hard to find, and right now I don’t even have a single top-grade crystal stone.”
Nian Shutong realized she had beco poor too quickly.
“Master, you have money!”
“Daodao, such things can’t be bought with money. There are many wealthy people, but you don’t see Gravity Rooms everywhere.”
“That’s true, Master. So what should we do?”
“Let’s talk to the dean about it.”
Nian Shutong couldn’t find any other information about the Gravity Room; it all seed quite secretive. It looked like she would have to ask the dean.
The first thing now was to get herself walking again and recover her body a bit.
She took out so high-level crystal stones, ready to absorb them and replenish her dried-up ridians.
“Hmm, why can’t I absorb it?”
No matter how Nian Shutong cycled her cultivation technique, she just couldn’t absorb the energy, or it was being absorbed extrely slowly.
If the spiritual energy flow she absorbed before was as thick as a finger, now it was at most as thick as a strand of hair, and the speed was unimaginably slower.
“It looks like the aftereffects of the Gravity Room are pretty severe. At the current rate, when will I recover?”
Although slow, Nian Shutong didn’t stop. She decided to stand up and go from there.
So she absorbed energy for a whole day and night, and by the next morning, she could barely stand on her feet.
Her body now suffered from the aftereffects left by the Gravity Room’s pressure, feeling weak all over, with powerless ridians.
But this morning was clearly a bit better than yesterday, which ant the symptoms were fading.
“It’s good enough if it gets better. Slow is okay.”
Nian Shutong had just co downstairs from the upper floor when she heard the doorbell ring. Thinking it was Zhao Dii, she called out, “Co on in.”
“Okay.”
