The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 876: Zi’s help

But to Sheyan’s disappointment, after two sneezes, he actually felt livelier! The cold wind blew onto his face but it felt so comfortable. Catching a cold seemed like a luxury at the moment, let alone pneumonia.

“What the hell? Did the steep increase in my HP cause my immunity to increase as well?”

The steep increase in HP here referred to the reward when he broke through the 50-point pure attribute boundary. That reward had been inexplicably retained when normally, all statuses would be reset after undergoing the Babu-Babusar ceremony! Sheyan inferred that due to the soul embryo settling in, the Authoritative precedence of the negative effects of the ‘Stairway of the Sun’ was lowered, making it unable to suppress the reward for the 50-point pure attribute boundary breakthrough. Thus, this situation occurred.

After spending a whole day in the hospital, Sheyan realised with disappointment that even a cold seemed to be far away from him, let alone pneumonia. Seemed like having a strong immunity was not always good news…. Getting a rank 3 ability wasn’t so easy after all.

At this time, Sheyan received a call.

An international call.

Zi’s slightly deep but sweet voice transmitted over the phone. Her voice was somewhat similar to the voice of the singer, A-Sun. There was a charm to it that’s hard to describe with words.

“If you’re Seaman, say something. If you’re not, hang up.”

Sheyan smiled and replied.

“I’m alive, rich girl.”

Zi said emotionlessly.

“How was the last world? Did any of your people die?”

Sheyan laughed and answered.

“Nope. Not only that, I’ve even recruited someone who may very well become your competitor.”

Zi coldly sneered and said.

“What competitor? Can anyone be my competitor? ”

“Hmm, he’s a mage who mastered the laws of Dungeons and Dragons. His main ability lies in producing illusions. He has a limited offensive repertoire; he can only perform burst damage once or twice every battle.”

Sheyan began explaining to her about Franklin. Zi immediately figured it out.

“I see. His main burst method should be rank 3 ‘Great Fireball’ + ‘Empower Spell’. There are limited spell slots for rank 3 spells, that’s why he can’t be the main force in battle. But his ability to create illusions is an extremely rare one. You made a good decision.”

Sheyan smiled faintly and said.

“The best decision I ever made was agreeing to Demondream’s request.”

Zi snorted.

“I’ve already returned your favour! I’m doing pretty well in Aldaris’ party right now. We even got an S evaluation in the previous world. It shouldn’t be a problem for Aldaris to become an Awakener.”

Sheyan knew that Zi was just being stubborn. No matter how strong Aldaris’ party was, there was no way they could compare to his own high-ranking Silver party. Moreover, relationships were complex in large parties. In his Ace party, Reef had long realised that he has no leadership potential, so Sheyan could immediately appoint Zi as the vice leader as soon as she joined. Sheyan laughed confidently and said.

“Of course, of course. Then can Lady Zi give me a chance to owe you a favour back? I am desperately in need of your help.”

Upon hearing Sheyan’s words, the proud Zi finally revealed a slight smile, while her eyes flashed a that’s-more-like-it glitter. She said after a dry cough.

“That would depend on my mood.”

Sheyan smiled.

“I’m in Taiwan now. Let me persuade you face-to-face.”

Zi said without hesitation.

“Go to Taoyuan Airport, the same place as before. I’ll let Gulfstream pick you up.”

***

Senyan was already familiar with all the protocols, so after a few hours, he arrived in Europe. This time, he flew straight to London, to the headquarters of the E.S financial group.

Zi personally picked him up from the airport. She was wearing a Chanel coat tied at the waist with her hair tied up in a bun. It accentuated her slim figure and long legs. She appeared cold, yet alluring.

But when Sheyan walked down the luxurious stairs of the Gulfstream, let alone Zi, even the female assistant next to her was trying hard not to laugh. Sheyan’s clothes were simply too casual…. loose beach shorts, flowery shirt, and to top it off, a pair of large wooden clog flip-flops on his feet. The clip-clopping sound they made caused the aircrew welcoming him to almost burst into laughter.

Zi was also holding herself back from laughing as she approached Sheyan.
