Chapter 32
This Tech Tree is Seriously Crooked (2/5)

Seeing that Jujian Hui readily agreed, Jiang He was immediately dumbfounded.

Wait, wasn't the traditional Yamato Nadeshiko supposed to be deeply considerate of her husband?

He offered the master bedroom and even mentioned that the guest room wasn't tidy and couldn't accommodate anyone. Shouldn't this elder sister-like wife invite him to share the master bedroom for the night?

However, he soon noticed a hint of a smile in Jujian Hui's eyes, clearly seeing through his "sinister" intentions.

Deliberately using a reverse tactic on him here.

"As expected, the prettier the woman, the more deceptive she is. It seems this hasn't changed even in the Ultra world," Jiang He lamented inwardly.

As for his earlier statement about the guest room not being tidy, it wasn't entirely true...

With the Witch Kirielod, a petite, hardworking being, being regularly summoned by him to clean the villa and occasionally act as a maid to brew some red tea, how could it possibly be messy.

It has to be said that compared to the Steel Monster Ligadron and the Zombie Monster Ziriza, two monster cards that had been gathering dust in the system space for a few days due to the lack of suitable fusion materials,

This Kirielod Witch, with her unique abilities and transformation into human form, was undoubtedly the most unfortunate one...

Ultimately, Jiang He did not get to sleep in the master bedroom.

"Well then, have sweet dreams, Anata." Jujian Hui said with a smile, then turned and went back to the master bedroom.

As she turned, a faint blush could be seen fleeting across her face.

Jiang He was slightly stunned. Wait, did he hear that right?

This elder sister-like wife called him Anata?

"Is this considered making up for the blunder Rena made at the Izakaya yesterday?" Jiang He muttered.

He then also got up and went back to his room with a smile, his mood still quite good.

........

The next day.

As Jiang He came out of the bathroom, changed into a clean set of clothes, he saw the silver luminous spirit form of the Witch Kirielod returning.

She brought with her a ball of faintly glowing Gazoot particles, and within them, a jellyfish-like creature could be vaguely seen floating.

"So this is the mutated Lightning Man," Jiang He observed the jellyfish-like shadow.

Last night, he had instructed the Witch Kirielod to deliver the news about the monsters Gazoot and Lightning Man to the Victory Team base as soon as possible, and then go to the scene and stay vigilant.

Judging from the current situation, Gazoot should have been taken care of.

"Ding, detected the genetic factor of the deformed monster Gazoot, do you want to collect it?" the system prompt.

"Collect."

Jiang He calmly confirmed, and the complete Gazoot particle brought back by the Witch Kirielod immediately transformed into a monster card and landed in his hand.

He collected it.

After putting away the Witch Kirielod, Jiang He happily left the guest room.

He should be able to relax for a couple of days.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, he noticed Jujian Hui sitting on the couch in a tight bathrobe, tilting her head and using a towel to dry her hair.

It seemed she had just returned from a morning run and taken a shower.

This made Jiang He want to complain about the technology tree of this Ultra world. They have laser cannons, but still no household hair dryers...

Their hair is mostly dried with towels, quite an ancient vibe.

However, seeing Jujian Hui sitting there wiping her hair was quite pleasing to the eye.

"What are you looking at?" Jujian Hui looked at him with a hint of embarrassment. When she finally dried her hair and put down the towel, she also noticed Jiang He watching her from the side.

"Remember to run with me in the morning tomorrow, even as a researcher, you still need to exercise." Jujian Hui recalled that this guy seemed to be quite laid-back, often sleeping late in the morning.

She felt that as his wife, she needed to urge her husband on health issues.

Especially, this guy loved researching monsterology and the mysterious, and his previous files mentioned that he often researched in ancient ruins all over the world.

Later on, if he went to ancient ruins and encountered an emergency, he wouldn't be able to handle it without enough stamina and skills.

"Well... Actually, I do exercise regularly, no need for morning runs." Jiang He wanted to say that what was written in his files was really just information.

He had never been to any ancient ruins, but he might go in the future.

As for regular exercise, would fighting little monsters count?

"Thank you." At this moment, Jujian Hui suddenly looked at him with a smile, saying thank you out of the blue.

She had just received news from the Victory Team that there were monsters in the cloud, Lightning Man, Gazoot, and so on.

Also, this guy, surprisingly, took the initiative to send the Victory Team a file about the monster, which pre-emptively solved the problem and saved Dr. Mizuno's investigation team.

"How's the situation now?" Jiang He naturally knew what Jujian Hui was talking about, he had also mentioned in his previous message about the reasons for the Lightning Man's mutation.

It was due to the massive amount of electromagnetic waves used by humans, which had disrupted the ionosphere and affected their survival environment.

He was indeed curious about TPC's approach.

"Commander Zeiling ordered the construction of a small-scale ionosphere on Kurashima to provide a survival space for these Lightning Men." Jujian Hui replied.

Hearing her words, Jiang He wanted to complain even more about the Ultra world's technology tree being ridiculously twisted...

They could even simulate a small ionosphere, but couldn't create a household hair dryer.

He decided that he needed to duplicate a cosmic being with expertise in research later to provide himself with some convenience.
