"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
It was still the same tea restaurant, Yuan You looked at Shen Qian opposite with a suspicious expression.
She always felt that Shen Qian was not in good spirits, but this seemed unbelievable for a warrior whose combat power was close to that of Shan Hai.
"Don't mention it, hurry up and set off after eating."
Shen Qian didn't want to discuss another trouble with her, because she was also a trouble for Shen Qian.
Shen Qian looked down on himself very much. He wanted to be tough but couldn't. He couldn't walk when he saw Huo Ling'er crying. In the end, the two of them spent the whole night talking on the rooftop.
Just a heart-to-heart talk.
Did nothing else.
Mainly because he always felt like the boss was staring at him, which made Shen Qian very uncomfortable.
But the final result was barely enough. The two made an agreement that was not an agreement. At least for the time being, Huo Ling'er would not pester Shen Qian anymore.
"By the way, you went to the Martial Arts Association yesterday to pick up a mission, right? How was it?"
Seeing that Shen Qian was not interested in talking, Yuan You didn't hold on to him and asked instead.
"See for yourself."
Shen Qian, who was too lazy to talk, threw a package from his feet to Yuan You.
The package was half a meter long, large and heavy. Fortunately, Yuan You was also a warrior with a certain level of cultivation, so he caught it without too much effort.
"This is...I'll go!"
Yuan You was confused at first, but when she unzipped the package and took a look, her eyes widened.
Because the package was full of various quest scrolls.
At a glance, there are at least hundreds of them.
"How many bounties is this? Are you crazy?" Yuan You asked in disbelief.
"Well, it's okay. There is only one night bounty in it, and I found it only by searching through the historical records, otherwise it will become invalid next month. There are nineteen other dusk bounties, and the rest are daylight bounties... basically It’s not difficult, it just takes some time.”
Shen Qian swallowed the fried dough sticks in his mouth and said casually.
Yuan You felt a little dizzy after hearing this.
Nineteen dusk bounties, one night bounty!
You really dare to take it.
But when Yuan You calmed down and remembered that the young man in front of her almost single-handedly completed a monster with a reward of one star in the night, she thought about it carefully and felt that it was nothing.
"I've found a car and people, but it seems I'll have to hire another car just to haul gasoline."
Yuan You said helplessly, and while Shen Qian was still eating, she quickly took out her bracelet to contact him.
By the time the two of them finished everything, it was already approaching afternoon.
The ban outside the city has not been lifted yet, but Shen Qian understands that there is no danger anymore. He also confirmed this with the boss Gao this morning.
North of Jingcheng.
Going further, the sky is full of wind and sand.
Shen Qian stopped the vehicle for a moment, looked at the towering city wall behind him, and let out a breath of dirty air.
"Everyone, take care."
Shen Qian took out his bracelet, sent messages to the people in his contact list one by one, and then turned off the bracelet.
"Let's go."
Buzz!
The armored vehicle made a furious roar, then sank directly into the wind and sand, and quickly disappeared.
…
late at night.
Jingcheng National Library.
In the silence, the patrolling administrator suddenly frowned, and then walked to the corner behind a bookshelf with a flashlight.
"Classmate, classmate...hey, wake up!"
The administrator poked a few times at the sleeping figure curled up in the corner with his flashlight.
"Um?"
The girl rubbed her groggy eyes, opened them, and said drowsily, "Have you eaten?"
The administrator originally wanted to scold him, but he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
"Classmate, we have closed the library, why are you still here?" the administrator asked in a slower tone.
"Closed?"
Huo Ling'er finally woke up and subconsciously stood up, but the books piled on her body were instantly scattered to the floor.
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Huo Ling'er hurriedly picked up the book.
The administrator saw clearly that the books on the floor were not the romance novels he imagined, but were all high school supplementary books. He was startled and hurriedly knelt down to help.
"Classmates, you should be on summer vacation, why are you still working so hard?"
While picking up the books, the administrator said earnestly, "I'm not telling you, you must have a certain degree of control in your studies. If you do this, you may tire your body first. Those real top students study in a planned way." Yes, that will be more efficient..."
"Thank you, uncle!"
After putting all the books back in place, Huo Ling'er thanked her and then couldn't help but ask, "Then what are their specific plans?"
"I...I want to take the No. 1 exam, so..."
Seeing the administrator cast a surprised look, Huo Ling'er whispered sheepishly.
"Well, I do have some notes left by others. If you really need them, come see me tomorrow and I'll give them to you."
The administrator didn't laugh at Huo Ling'er, he thought about it and said.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Huo Ling'er thanked her happily and then walked out of the library humming a song.
The administrator watched Huo Ling'er go away and shook his head in confusion.
He really hadn't seen many girls with this kind of temperament who loved to study.
…
Another late night.
The 52nd floor of Babel Tower.
In the darkness and silence, an extremely bright light suddenly lit up, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a burst of wild laughter that could not conceal the joy.
"Hahahaha, I finally made a fucking breakthrough!"
"From now on, I, Liu Changqing, will be the number one person in the world!"
Boom!
The glass of the training room shattered instantly, and Liu Changqing rushed out like a rampage, standing in the mid-air outside the Babel Tower, looking around high-spirited.
It turns out that the feeling of truly stepping into the mountains and sea is so wonderful.
Liu Changqing, who was radiating dazzling light like the sun, felt proud at this moment, and had a feeling that he had the world under his control.
"Once this Dao is completed, given time, who will be my opponent, Ling Xiao or Shi Dingyan, even if I am old... ugh!"
Liu Changqing stopped in time, but it was too late.
"Wantfully forgetful, arrogant, disrespectful to the teacher...he will be punished for several crimes and ordered to remain in seclusion underground for ten days."
A faint voice rang in his ear.
Liu Changqing's expression suddenly changed.
"Teacher, you can't do this to me, I just made a breakthrough!"
Liu Changqing quickly shouted.
Gao Wenyuan did not respond, but there were already golden marks suppressing him in the air from all directions.
"No, I haven't fully felt the power of breaking through mountains and seas yet. I haven't gone to show myself to others yet, old thief, you and him..."
The sounds behind him could no longer be heard, because the golden mark had formed the character "Feng", wrapped Liu Changqing into a rice dumpling, and then took him straight to the ground.
Figures flashed in mid-air, and two people appeared in a state of laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As soon as Ling Xiao showed up, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Sixth Junior Brother's temper is really..."
Shi Dingyan also shook his head and laughed.
"It shouldn't and it really is time to grind it out. Humph, even I didn't take it seriously as soon as I broke through. If I really want to be released, won't I have to challenge the prince directly?"
After Ling Xiao laughed, he snorted again.
Shi Dingyan was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Changqing's "lofty words". He had been angry so many times that he had become numb.
"But there is one thing to say, Changqing's 'Tao' should be really strong. Did you feel the aura just now?"
Shi Dingyan said in admiration, "I didn't expect that he would actually succeed."
"You were in the room just now, and I was drinking tea with the teacher above. The teacher vaguely mentioned that this matter has something to do with my junior brother..." Ling Xiao said thoughtfully.
"Is it related to Shen Qian?" Shi Dingyan asked in surprise.
"From what the teacher means, it may be that the junior brother gave Chang Qing some stimulation. I don't know the specific details." Ling Xiao shook his head.
"At the beginning, the teacher said that Shen Qian was actually the opportunity to be everlasting. Is this what he meant?"
Shi Dingyan murmured.
"Speaking of which, how many days has Shen Qian been there?" Ling Xiao asked.
"It's been about forty or fifty days. Counting the time, I should be back soon."
Shi Dingyan seemed to remember something, and then said, "Oh, by the way, Fifth Junior Brother, have you prepared any gifts?"
"A gift?" Ling Xiao asked doubtfully, "What gift?"
"A gift for him to go to college."
Shi Dingyan smiled and said, "I know we didn't have this kind of rule between us before, but this time it's a little special. The main reason is that someone prepared it first. It would be inappropriate if we don't give something as a gift."
"Who prepared it first?" Ling Xiao asked curiously, "Changqing?"
"Do you think he is so careful?"
Shi Dingyan smiled and said nothing, but glanced downward.
Ling Xiao followed his gaze and immediately settled on the thirty-third floor.
There was candlelight flickering in a certain window, vaguely reflecting a graceful figure.
"this……"
Ling Xiao was stunned at first, but then he had no intention of gossiping at all. He just suddenly turned his head and stared at Shi Dingyan, "Third senior brother, does the teacher know about this?"
"Do you think the teacher might not know?"
Shi Dingyan asked back, then patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, "I know what you are worried about, so it doesn't matter. Since the teacher didn't stop it, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Ling Xiao frowned and said nothing, then shook his head gently for a while, "I hope so."
…
In a mountain forest about 80 kilometers away from Jingcheng.
There were lightning and thunder above, and the mountain forest was surrounded by miasma. The visibility was extremely low, and some strange roars could be heard vaguely, which made people's hair stand on end.
Eighty kilometers away from the city, it was already considered the deep edge of the restricted area, and the casual slashing team simply did not dare to go so far.
At this moment, beside a slope in the forest, there was a big man like an iron tower standing here, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Judging from his leisurely posture, it seemed that he didn't take the potential danger here seriously at all.
Suddenly, a place covered by leaves on the slope moved, and then a woman wearing a tight-fitting tactical uniform with her beautiful curves exposed emerged from the hole with her hair pulled up.
Compared with two months ago, the experience along the way not only did not change Yuan You's appearance, but instead became more beautiful and attractive.
Even Dao Jiu, who had no interest in women, lowered his gaze slightly.
"How is Mr. Shen?"
Dao Jiu asked.
"Don't worry, he's doing very well, but he seems to be breaking through again. Let me tell you to expand the warning range a little more."
Yuan You smiled.
Dao Jiu nodded to express his understanding, and with a casual move, nine long knives flew out from behind and quickly disappeared into the surrounding mountains and forests.
And Dao Jiu himself disappeared silently.
Yuan You got back into the cave again.
The cave was not big, about ten square meters, but it was cleaned very clean, and a bonfire was burned in the corner, mainly for Yuan's children.
Shen Qian sat with his back against the mountain wall, his eyes closed tightly, surrounded by colorful spiritual energy. Between his breaths, a breathtaking and powerful aura was revealed, which made Yuan You breathless.
After getting used to it for a while, Yuan You came closer and sat down against the wall, staring at Shen Qian with his chin clenched.
"What a pervert. It's only been a few days and he has made a breakthrough again..."
Yuan You muttered, with a confused look in his bright eyes.
After so many days together, it was obvious that they had a very close relationship, and she seemed to know many of the other person's secrets, but Shen Qian's mystery in her eyes only increased instead of decreasing.
Yuan You couldn't even tell what kind of feelings she had for Shen Qian.
But this boy was like a treasure, and she couldn't hide her desire to explore and follow.
Even at the expense of...
Not knowing what she thought of, Yuan Youqiao's face turned red.
Time passed, and the sky turned dark in the blink of an eye.
Yuan You, who was already a little drowsy, felt something. He opened his eyes and met the young man's bright eyes.
"Breakthrough?"
Yuan You asked, noticing the great change in Shen Qian's energy and spirit.
"Yeah." Shen Qian nodded.
"So what state are you in now?" Yuan You's eyes flashed with a cunning light, he moved to Shen Qian's side, hugged his arm and rubbed it and asked.
"Guess." Shen Qian remained as still as a mountain.
"Oh, you man, you slept with me and you still don't tell the truth!" Yuan You said with a flat mouth.
"Heh, who slept with whom is still up for debate." Shen Qian rolled his eyes.
It was actually an accident, but Shen Qian realized it later that it might not be an accident at all.
But no matter what, the relationship between the two has indeed become much closer. .
He probably also knows about Xiao Jiujiu in Yuan You's heart. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he hides his realm or not. The main thing is that he doesn't know what realm he is in now and can only have a general perception of his own strength.
When he set out fifty-nine days ago, Shen Qian's true level was around the seventh level of a beginner martial artist, but his combat power could compete with a mid-level high-level warrior if the system took action.
Nayilori is only theoretically close to Shanhai in terms of strength, but because the opponent's methods are mainly mental attacks, which happen to be restrained by the system, the system can easily crush the opponent.
After fifty-nine days of training, there were a total of seven major and minor breakthroughs. Since there was no physical testing machine, Shen Qian did not know the specific value of his current strength.
But his own combat power alone is probably on par with the previous system's attacks.
As for the system's attacks, Shen Qian can basically say with confidence...below the mountains and seas, it should be invincible.
Above the mountains and seas, it's hard to say. After all, there has never been a real battle, so I don't know how big the gap will be.
All in all, the progress in cultivation in the past two months has basically met Shen Qian's expectations.
As for the reward, Shen Qian didn't pay much attention to it. Yuan You was the one taking the records, but the completion status should be pretty good.
In addition, there is a huge change, which should be in temperament.
Although Shen Qian himself didn't feel much influence, but in Yuan You's words, Shen Qian's youthful spirit was fading away.
No matter physically or mentally, Shen Qian is really moving closer to a man.
"Let's go, it's time to go back."
Shen Qian stood up, with longing in his eyes.
After staying in the restricted area for two months, he really felt a little homesick...
