Qin Tan and Lou Fan looked at each other, they had a bad feeling about this. This time, the task should be diving underwater to look for the sunken ship. The level of danger is much higher than that of Luoyang Ancient Village.

Chen Shuyang is still talking about the mysterious events he knew that happened in the waters of Lao Ye Temple: how many ships have disappeared, what lake monsters are there, or the current vortex and underground magnetic field. As he said it, he wrote down everything he could think of. When Chen Shuyang first saw this place (in real life), he only felt that the place is strange and interesting. But now, when he thought of the fact that he is about to go there to deal with monsters and ghosts, his calves trembled.

“Why aren’t there any temples in Lazuli Town? I want to pray and ask for a safety amulet!” Chen Shuyang murmured, trying to calm himself down. “Dear gods in the sky, please bless us a lot. I will definitely worship you every day and offer sacrifices to you. Don’t worry, next time I will bring your statues back for daily prayers!”

Lou Fan got a headache from Chen Shuyang’s muttering, and interrupted him, “Alright, alright, I’m getting dizzy by your mutterings. Let’s see what we need to prepare. Also, should we go and meet our random teammates?”

The trading hall in South Square will announce the team information and also release the task 3 days before the departure date. For those who got randomly assigned to a team, those people can go there (trading hall) to meet up if they wanted to. After swiping their watch with each other, one can only view the location information of their team members according to their watch’s level of authority. One can’t see information regarding other teams, not even other teams in the same mission world. But if the random team members did not come to meet up, they could not contact the other party one-sidedly.

Qin Tan agreed with Lou Fan’s suggestion, “Let’s go and see. It’s best if we could reach a consensus (to work together).”

However, their luck is obviously bad. The other 2 random team members with the same task did not come to meet at all, and the three returned without any result. Lou Fan is a little irritable. He doesn’t understand why people in the same team cannot work together on the same task. Wouldn’t the chances of survival be higher? What are those people thinking?

Qin Tan doesn’t care too much for the random teammates and said, “We have done our best and are fully prepared. Even if there are only three of us left, I believe there will be a way to complete the task.” At most, their task gets a little more difficult to complete with just them.

After surviving 2 missions worlds, Qin Tan’s thinking has changed significantly. Now that he has 2 teammates, Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang, he is more willing to focus his energy on his team. On the other hand, they really have to find a way to recruit 2 more team members to their team. Otherwise, there will be random team members assigned to their team every time, which is very passive and is not conducive to the formulation and completion of the mission plan.

After a discussion, Chen Shuyang began to draw a map of the Lao Ye Temple and its surrounding. Lou Fan checked if there is anything useful in the exchange machine. Qin Tan walked into the kitchen and no one knows what he is doing.

“Okay.” Chen Shuyang stretched out and drew a very detailed map on a large white paper, marking the key locations and buildings. This is what Chen Shuyang saw countless times during his previous research trip. Fortunately, he still has some drawing skills and can draw complete maps.

Lou Fan walked over from the exchange machine and looked at Chen Shuyang. Then he gave him a big praise, “Not bad, Shuyang, your drawing is great. It’s amazing that you could remember it so clearly, your memory is superb.”

Feeling embarrassed to be praised by Lou Fan, Chen Shuyang touched his head, “Brother Lou, you also know that I’m a nerd.”

Qin Tan came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of food and stunned Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang.

“Oh my God, Brother Qin! What did you cook for us? It smells good!”

“Qin Tan, why didn’t you cook previously?! I was about to vomit from eating dry food every day.”

For the 3 people who haven’t eaten hot staple food for a long time, this meal of stir-fried potato shreds and steamed sweet potatoes is very fragrant. As they are eating, Lou Fan suddenly slapped his forehead. He ran to the exchange machine and started to tap on various buttons. A minute later, several ingredients appeared on the tray of the exchange machine.

Qin Tan: “…” Why doesn’t he know that the exchange machine can also exchange food (ingredients)? Indeed, technically speaking, there’s nothing wrong with the exchange. Ingredients are also a type of food.

Lou Fan: “I saw these on the last page that day. But since no one is cooking, I didn’t mention it. But it’s decided now, I assign you as the chef.”

After a good meal, Qin Tan as the main force tried to work out a basic plan. But right now, they don’t know anything about their task, and they don’t know the specifics. They can only try to be familiar with the terrain and area distribution, as well as the points where most incidents are highlighted.

On the morning of November 1, after Lou Fan got up as usual and finished his basic training, he saw Chen Shuyang rushing over from afar like a gust of wind, yelling at him with a look of excitement.

“Brother Lou, Brother Lou!!! Brother Qin, Brother Qin!!!” Chen Shuyang couldn’t restrain his excitement, “I figured out! I figured out!!!”

Lou Fan felt speechless and asked, “Can you finish the whole sentence? What did you figure out?”

Qin Tan poked his head out from the balcony upstairs and leaned on the railing. Then he heard Chen Shuyang say, “I finally know how to use my book!”

Hearing that, Lou Fan pff-ed and sprayed out the water he was drinking. Qin Tan is also taken aback and immediately disappeared from the balcony. The next moment, Lou Fan went to the living room and saw Qin Tan bringing Chen Shuyang in.

Chen Shuyang has never given up on studying his spirit weapon book. Every day, even if he is tired from training, he will try various methods. The book cannot be torn, but yesterday he had a whim and grabbed at the picture of the radish flower with his hand. Unexpectedly, he managed to take the radish flower out but the flower disappeared after a while. He put one in again, close the book, and waited for a while. When he opened the book again, that flower has turned into a picture. He took it out again and timed the disappearance. Chen Shuyang found that the flower will disappear after 10 minutes. So, his finding is things can be inserted into the pages of his book. Then it can be taken for use and the limit is it will disappear after 10 minutes, a one-time usage item.

Lou Fan felt happy for Chen Shuyang. He finally knew the function of his spirit weapon and added a life-saving option for himself. Thinking about it, Lou Fan thinks Chen Shuyang’s book is a bit like cheating, even if the items are for one-time use and last only 10 minutes.

After the excitement, the team packed up their things. They ate a hearty breakfast, put on their backpacks, and set off to go to the station platform. They arrived at the platform 10 minutes earlier. As usual, the trains leave every 5 minutes, just like the countless trains waiting for them, not knowing where they are coming from or where they are going to be sent. Seeing those people getting in the trains looking despaired, Chen Shuyang suddenly became a little nervous. He looked from left to right and saw a man in a red sweater running in a hurry. He should be coming for the next train.

“Hey, Brother Lou, is that Lang Wen?”

Lou Fan turned to where Chen Shuyang pointed and looked over. He saw someone in a red sweater running towards them. Seeming to recognize them, the person suddenly stopped moving about 10 meters away; froze in place.

Lou Fan chuckled softly, “Hehe, so it’s true that enemies will meet each other somehow?”

Wen Lang stopped running, the expression on his face froze. Frick, is he so unlucky that he actually met those 3 again? It’s not a car-flipping (lies being exposed) situation, right?! And most importantly… He looked at those people incredulously, and asked with a voice that seemed to be squeezed out of his mouth, “You guys won’t be getting on the 11.00 am train… right?”

Lou Fan crossed his hands and stared at the person. His eyes filled with narrow smiles, “What a coincidence, you are also getting on the 11.00 am train huh, Lang Wen.”

Wen Lang: “…”

Damn, this is not a car-flipping situation, it is simply a car accident straight away! It’s too frickin bad luck!

‘Woo…’

The familiar train whistle sounded, and the train appeared punctually from the thick fog and stopped in front of them. Qin Tan got into the car first and Lou Fan followed closely, Chen Shuyang glanced around before getting in. Wen Lang rubbed his hair, cursed inwardly, and stepped onto the train compartment. A short-haired woman who was leaning on the pillar not far away straightened up. She lifted the backpack by her feet indifferently and got into the train. At 11.00 am, the train started to leave.

Lou Fan looked around in the train and saw Wen Lang shrinking in his seat, looking out the window. The woman with shoulder-length hair came up last has a cold expression and she has closed her eyes to rest. The atmosphere in the car is kind of awkward and quiet. Chen Shuyang is so absorbed with his book that he didn’t pay attention to the atmosphere in the car. He lifted his glasses and wrote and drew in his small notebook. Lou Fan shrugged and followed Qin Tan to close his eyes to rest.

Soon, the whistle sounded again to remind them 5 that they are about to arrive. Lou Fan glanced at the time, the journey is about 15 minutes; so fast. Everyone is prepared and slung their bags on their backs. When the train stops, they still get off the train in the same order as before. They are in the compartment on the left, while the middle compartment carries the newcomers, as usual. The other team is in the right compartment. After they got out of the train, the other team came down one by one on the right and saw Qin Tan’s team. The 6 people team looked at their team contemptuously, as if they are looking at something that is going to die soon. Lou Fan felt uncomfortable from their gaze. Then, he heard Wen Lang behind him mutter something softly – ‘such bad luck’.

“Who are you and why are we here?! Who are you guys seriously? Hurry and let us go!”

The newcomers are still a terrified bunch and they came out of the carriage yelling. The 6 people team over there is obviously not interested in taking care of the newcomers, and they walked out of the platform one after another. Lou Fan sighed and could only take up the matter himself.

“The standby time is only 5 minutes. Take your flyers, yes, it’s the black one. Then follow us out of the station first. If not, after 5 minutes, it’s death for you.”

There is only so much that can be said. After Lou Fan finished his words, his team of 5 also stepped out of the station. Looking at those newcomers with disbelief in their eyes, Chen Shuyang couldn’t bear it, as if he had seen himself from that time. “Come out quickly, or you will really die. Come out first and talk later.”

Chen Shuyang looked like an honest child with his neat appearance and glasses. The newcomer inside the station did not hesitate anymore and immediately rushed out with their flyer. Unfortunately, there is still someone who has torn their own flyer. The 5 people didn’t look back anymore. They turned their heads and heard the newcomers scream and cry with extreme horror around them. Then, they lifted their feet and left. This time, there are only 5 newcomers. 2 did not come out, and only 3 are left. The other team stopped not far away. It should be they determined that there is no danger around, and are planning what to do.

Qin Tan also led everyone to stop. It seems desolate around them. There are half-human-tall weeds everywhere, and one can’t see anything from afar. Qin Tan said calmly, “Stay where you are, and eat something to replenish your energy first.” After that, Qin Tan took out a small telescope from his bag. He choose a direction and walked across the weeds alone.

Lou Fan is a little worried. He reminded the rest a bit before following Qin Tan with his bag on his back. After walking several tens of meters, passing through a cluster of bushes taller than a person, a calm lake appeared in front of them. Lou Fan didn’t speak, he just looked into the distance and saw nothing. Qin Tan looked around with the telescope before putting it away.

“Let’s go back.” Qin Tan stretched out his hand to support Lou Fan’s arm. Their backpacks are not light so with this support, Lou Fan suddenly felt his footing is much easier.

They returned to the gathering place and heard a beautiful-looking woman in the other team over there speak out. That woman is actually wearing a pair of high heels.

“Hey, what is your team’s level? And what is your mission?” Her words sounded a little unclear as she is chewing gum in her mouth, but everyone present could hear her undisguised contemptuous tone.

They don’t know that it is called a spirit weapon? Wen Lang’s thoughts turned, and he thought to himself. These people must be newcomers who have just passed their first world. The seniors didn’t even provide this information to them, indicating that their strength is not good and they are not favored by the seniors. Moreover, these people said they urgently need the information…

Wen Lang squinted his eyes, and his mind turned. He said to himself, since the business delivered itself to his door, there is no reason not to do it. Sticking to his principle of not suffering a loss, he won’t waste any chances. Letting go of any possible benefits is not in line with the principles that Wen Lang always does. Wen Lang smiled brighter and said, “Yes, I do. But do you have anything to pay for the information? By the way, my name is Lang Wen, and I often do business here.”

Lou Fan turned his head to look at Qin Tan. Qin Tan’s face is expressionless, but there is a smile in his eyes when he(QT) looked at him(LF). It seems that Qin Tan didn’t intend to speak. As for Chen Shuyang, he only looked around in fascination and still hasn’t figured out what they are talking about.

Lou Fan: “Of course, if you have the information, we will exchange things or pay for it.”

Hmm, not fooled huh?

Wen Lang is not discouraged at all and continued his efforts. “You know, this kind of information requires high compensation. Even though I am well informed, Lazuli has nearly 5,000 people, which is difficult to find.” He shook his head, looking like the matter is difficult to handle.

Lou Fan didn’t answer and a smile could be seen from the corner of his mouth.

Wen Lang touched his nose and had to go on with the conversation by himself, “If you can pay for the information, you can show it to me first. Then, I will be able to inform the other party, isn’t that right?”

Lou Fan didn’t waste time and took out a radish flower. He handed it over and said, “This is called a radish flower.”

Wen Lang took the flower and looked quite surprised. He didn’t expect them to actually take out something for real. He glanced at the flower a few times and asked, “What does it do?”

Lou Fan: “It can make people unconscious.”

“What about the restrictions?” Wen Lang asked again. He didn’t notice that their conversation did not conform to the normal state of how newcomers would be.

Lou Fan crossed his hands and smiled. “I can’t tell you this, obviously but you can keep it first. If you can inquire about the information we want, I have some more to offer.”

Wen Lang’s eyes lit up, he didn’t expect Lou Fan to be so tactful, “Okay. But since it is a troublesome task to inquire about the purpose of spirit weapon, how about we agree that I will give you the detailed information in 1 month, and I want to be paid for my effort too.”

Lou Fan frowned, “You’re a bit too much.” He naturally knows about Wen Lang’s calculations, but right now, they don’t have the conditions to be picky. This is just a bargain between the one who needs something and the one who can give something.

Wen Lang smiled, not at all embarrassed, “Well, based on my experience, I have several guesses about the function. You go back and try it. Consider it a little gift from me.”

Under Lou Fan’s skeptical gaze, Wen Lang mentioned several guesses. With an attitude to try anything possible, Lou Fan accepted the suggestion and stopped going on with the conversation. Leaving his contact information behind, Lou Fan left with Qin Tan and Chen Shuyang. In Lazuli, their watches can be used to connect to each other, but unfortunately, they can only be used as watches in the mission world.

Wen Lang took the radish flower and smelled it. He can smell a faint scent from it. He put the flower into the bag and said, “These newcomers, they are too naive. They don’t even know whether they can return alive from their task next time. To be so easily giving away things to strangers, their vigilance is too weak.” After speaking, Wen Lang shook his head with a look of pity. He packed his bag and casually left, regardless of the stuff on the stall. When passing by a crowd gathered at a stall next to him, he shouted to the people inside, “Old Jiang, I’m leaving first, watch the stall yourself.” Someone uttered a response from the inside.

On the way back, the three didn’t ride their bikes but went into the South Square for a stroll. They took a look around and then walked back to the house slowly. Chen Shuyang finally couldn’t help it, and asked puzzledly, “Brother Lou, that person looks a little unreliable. Can he really find the information about my spirit weapon?” After listening for a long time, he finally understood that Lou Fan is inquiring about his spirit weapon.

Lou Fan glanced at Chen Shuyang and said with a little disdain, “That person is not ‘a little unreliable’, he is a cheater, obviously. As for whether we can find any information, well, we can only cast the net out and wait. There is no other way, who asks us to be poor? Else, we could have just helped you to send a message on the electronic screen. That will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”

An extra usable spirit weapon means more help. Lou Fan likes Chen Shuyang quite a bit and wants to try his best to help Chen Shuyang survive. But if they have to explore this thing themselves, it’s a bit frustrating.

When it comes to his book, Chen Shuyang is also helpless. Then he heard Lou Fan say, “Let’s try the methods Lang Wen said first. Then we’ll brainstorm and diversify our thinking. Who knows, we might be able to figure it out.”

Chen Shuyang nodded and took out his book from his backpack. The book is a normal A4 size, but it is quite thick and a bit heavy. Chen Shuyang opened the book, preparing to immerse himself in the brainstorming. As soon as he opened it, he found that his bookmark is missing.

“Brother, brother Lou…” Chen Shuyang stammered at the book, his voice trembling violently, “My bo, book, bookmark is gone.”

“Your bookmark is missing? What bookmark?”

Lou Fan leaned in front of Chen Shuyang suspiciously, and Qin Tan walked over. The radish flower that Chen Shuyang used as a bookmark in the book is gone. In its place, a picture of a radish flower appeared on that page, which looked as lifelike as it is real. The radish flower has turned into a picture.

…

The book with a dark cover and blank pages is spread out in front of the three of them. One of the pages had a picture of a radish flower. They have been facing this book for the whole afternoon, and they are still at a loss. Drowsiness struck and Lou Fan yawned. Qin Tan closed the book with a snap and said, “Sleep first, we’ll start training tomorrow.”

Chen Shuyang put away his book, “Yeah, Brother Lou, quickly go to bed. We are starting our training tomorrow so don’t waste time. I’ll think about the matter with the book myself, maybe I’ll just try to examine it more.”

“I believe you can do it.” Lou Fan stood up and patted Chen Shuyang on the shoulder. Rubbing his sleepy head, he walked to the bedroom. “When you guys go out, remember to close the door for me. I’m going to sleep now.”

The next morning, when Lou Fan woke up, Qin Tan and Chen Shuyang have already arrived. Neither of them looked very good. Lou Fan asked strangely, “What’s the matter with you two?”

“Make a training plan.”

“Researching the book.”

Lou Fan: “…” Why does he feel like he is the only one who didn’t make progress?

Qin Tan made different training plans based on the different physical qualities of the two. Chen Shuyang has no foundation so he can only start with basic physical training. The biggest expectation Qin Tan has for him is to run faster than others when encountering danger. Lou Fan’s training content, however, is much stricter. It is not just basic physical fitness and strength training, but also combat fighting.

The house has basic fitness equipment in the room. At first, Chen Shuyang struggled a lot with his training. Asking a nerd who runs no more than 10 times a year to run for an hour each day, Chen Shuyang felt like he is dying. But he also understands that Qin Tan has no obligation to take care of him. Even if he takes him with him, it is probably out of sympathy for his weakness, so Chen Shuyang must work hard to make himself valuable. This is not only his own life-saving skills but also an advantage to remain in the team in the future. Otherwise, what is the reason for others to let him stay?

Lou Fan usually has his own daily training. Back in Luoyang Ancient Village, he also insisted on doing push-ups every morning. In terms of physical fitness, he has no problem. But in terms of his fighting skills, Lou Fan’s knowledge is almost blank. On the first day, Qin Tan used only one move to throw him to the ground.

Time passes in day-to-day training. Excluding training time, Chen Shuyang has been studying his book, while Qin Tan and Lou Fan are studying the exchange machines and calculating things to be brought along in the next world. After several days of research, they came to the following conclusions:

Every time they put something in, a number will be displayed in the lower right corner of the exchange machine. After they exchange for an item, the number will decrease. Lou Fan calls the number as ‘points’. A radish flower is equivalent to 25 points. A pack of compressed biscuit costs 5 points, and a piece of white bread only cost 3 points. Next, they put sweet potatoes and potatoes on the tray. Each sweet potato can only be exchanged for 2 points, and each potato can be exchanged for 1 point.

Lou Fan was speechless when he saw the number. If he knew earlier, he would pull out a few more flowers. For what reason did he tiringly bring the sweet potatoes and potatoes back?

Medicine is very expensive. A bottle of hemostatic agent requires 30 points to be exchanged. An anti-inflammatory pill costs 40 points. Even the calm Qin Tan sighed helplessly when he saw the required points. Medicines are too expensive. Although they have a bit more radish flowers in hand, they still have to spend them in many more places so they can’t exchange the flowers all out at once. Besides, the radish flower has the ability to cause fainting, so they have to keep some with them to use it in the next world.

After understanding the basic exchange rules, they began to calculate. Daily necessities are very cheap; they can exchange enough food to last them in the mission world. The necessary hemostatic and anti-inflammatory pill, they need to bring one each for everyone. As for weapons, Lou Fan exchanged a short sword for Chen Shuyang and exchanged a dagger for himself as a weapon. A total of 600 points were spent.

In this way, they used half of the radish flowers they picked. Lou Fan sighed silently as he looked at the few radish flowers left. He can only look forward to bringing more equipment back from the next world. Lou Fan also exchanged a waterproof backpack for each of them. The backpack is light and durable. Qin Tan has to cut it a few times with a knife to make a small hole in it. The weapon is packed in a special weapon bag.

At this point, all the preparations that can be done are ready. Chen Shuyang’s physical fitness has been greatly improved under Qin Tan’s devilish training. Lou Fan’s fighting skills have also improved, and he can hold on for 3 minutes in a fight with Qin Tan.

On October 28th, as the three is eating breakfast, their watches made a long ‘beep’ sound at the same time. Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang are taken aback.

Qin Tan: “The task is here.”

The two of them realized what happened and uttered an ‘oh’ before checking their task.

2 days ago, they went to Lazuli’s trading hall in South Square to bind their team. Once bound, they will be together for the incoming missions. If they didn’t bind in a group, they will be separated (randomly picked into random mission worlds). Once a team of 5 to 7 people is bound together, it will be their default team and they will not be randomly assigned. Otherwise, the system will randomly add people to the team temporarily until they have at least 5 people to enter the mission world.

The information in Lou Fan’s watch shows:
Task content: Find the ancient ship, Shenzhou that has disappeared in the waters of the Lao Ye Temple. Please board the train at 11:00 on November 1st.
Task time limit: 15 days.
Team members: Lou Fan [Level 1], Chen Shuyang [Level 1], Qin Tan [Level 2], Wen Lang [Level 2], Zhang Xue [Level 2].

“Lao Ye Temple waters!” Chen Shuyang called out, and said excitedly, “I know this. I have studied it before. It is located in Jiujiang City, JX Province. It was formerly known as Dingjiang Temple and has a long history. That body of water nearby is called Lao Ye Temple Waters. It’s a very mysterious and strange body of water, and also known as the Bermuda of China; the Devil’s Waters. “

When Chen Shuyang finished talking, he got shocked by what he said. Then he stared at his watch in disbelief, “Wait… we are going to the Devil’s Waters to look for a sunken ship? Oh my God!”

Lou Fan turned around and looked up at Qin Tan with a brilliant smile. His whole body seemed to be shining in the sun. He said, “Good morning.”

Qin Tan is stunned for a moment, his gaze turned dazed. Then looking to Lou Fan, he smiled, and asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”

Lou Fan rubbed his still sore neck and curled his lips. “It’s okay.” Then, thinking of something, Lou Fan pointed to his clothes, “Does it look good? I redeemed it on the exchange machine.”

The light gray casual suit looks great on the young man. The smile at the corner of Qin Tan’s mouth deepened, and he nodded affirmatively, “It looks good.”

Lou Fan: “Do you want to exchange one…” Before he finished speaking, there is an excited voice next to him.

“I want, I want,” Chen Shuyang ran out from next door, and said to Lou Fan with excitement across the guardrail, “Brother Lou, your clothes are really good-looking. I want to exchange one too.”

Qin Tan squinted slightly and stared at Chen Shuyang. All of a sudden, Chen Shuyang touched his arm silently. He looked up at the sun above his head and muttered, “Hmm, has the temperature dropped? Why did I feel a chill just now? It seems that I have to choose a thicker coat.”

Lou Fan clapped his hands, “Alright then, let’s get 2 sets each so we could change to it alternatively. Qin Tan, come down.”

Going back to his house and exiting from the door, Chen Shuyang walked around the fence and entered the other house. He saw that Qin Tan and Lou Fan had been standing by the exchange machine, selecting clothing. He touched his own head and said, “Brother Qin, you sure move fast.”

In the end, Qin Tan chose 2 black suits and a pair of combat boots. Lou Fan also chose black clothes, while Chen Shuyang chose a set of clothing in camouflage color and another in dark green. In his words, green is easier to hide himself. Lou Fan doesn’t think those clothing has any potential to hide anyone though. After the exchange, the three of them put on new clothes. After they exchanged everything they wanted, Lou Fan put the dirty clothes to soak and planned to wash them before putting them away. This is the only thing he brought from reality, so it’s good to keep it as a memento.

After filling their stomach, Qin Tan took the two out, planning to take a stroll first. The first stop is Lazuli’s port. Although they called it a port, it is actually a low shoal. Qin Tan took out a simple map that he drew after traveling throughout Lazuli upon returning to Lazuli as a newcomer. This is a large oval island. From the outermost to the inner ring, there are 3 levels/rings for ‘passengers’ to live in. All houses on the rings can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. The train track divides the entire island into two. In the middle area (inner ring), one side is Lazuli’s trading hall, while on the other side is the trading site formed by the passengers themselves. It is called a bazaar.

The entire island is surrounded by water. Lou Fan looked at the green mountains, clear waters, and the arch bridge made of bluestone in the distance. The mist shrouded the island, making them look a little unreal as if they had strayed into a fairyland. Lou Fan doubtfully asked, “Can’t we leave by boat?”

Qin Tan smiled wryly, “Try reaching out.”

Lou Fan reached out his hand, and when he is about to pass the shallows’ range, he seemed to touch a transparent wall. Chen Shuyang also reached out and knocked on it. It is a transparent and very solid wall. He couldn’t help yelling out, “Frick, isn’t this same as the American TV series ‘Under The Dome’? Are we trapped by a transparent cover?”

Qin Tan looked into the distance and nodded in agreement with Chen Shuyang’s statement.

Lou Fan couldn’t help but look over his head. The sun is hanging in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight made him squint. Lou Fan then turned to look at the map. He pointed at Lazuli’s trading hall and asked, “What’s in here?”

Qin Tan come back to his senses and replied, “Lazuli’s trading hall, it’s the place we went to register our arrival yesterday. The things that can be done in the trading hall include newcomers’ registration and selection of residences, as well as large exchange machines. Large items that cannot be exchanged in your own house will need to go there to exchange. There is also team registration and cancellation service, plus a very large training room, but I have never gone in.” The main reason is he has no money (points).

Lou Fan nodded and looked to the other side.

Qin Tan continued, “The other side is a trading place set up by the passengers themselves, called the bazaar. It includes the exchange of goods, information exchange, the release of team information, and a market.”

Lou Fan’s eyes lit up and he pulled Qin Tan to go, “What are we waiting for? Hurry up and go. We need to get intel, understanding the market needs, and also have to ask about Chen Shuyang’s book.”

Hearing that, Chen Shuyang looked at Lou Fan gratefully and followed behind him.

Lou Fan’s footsteps stopped and his arm is pulled back. Lou Fan found that he couldn’t walk forward anymore. Qin Tan helplessly explained, “It takes an hour to walk from the south port to the market.”

Lou Fan’s eyes widened, “So far? What should we do then?”

At the next moment, Lou Fan saw Qin Tan walking back. Following him and turning a corner, Lou Fan saw a row of shared bicycles parked by the wall.

Lou Fan: “…” This place is really keeping pace with the times.

The three lazily pedaled their bicycles, like a spring outing, slowly advancing on the greenway. Along the way across the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st ring, they saw all kinds of people. Some looked relaxed, some looked sad, and others looked hostile. Lou Fan sighed in his heart. He is neither a holy mother nor a silly naive person. In this place, strength is probably the only thing used to measure them. Thinking of this, Lou Fan turned his head to Chen Shuyang, who is happily cycling in the wind, and said, “Shuyang, starting tomorrow, both of us will learn how to fight with Qin Tan.”

Lou Fan has seen Qin Tan’s skills in Luoyang Ancient Village. His actions are neat, without any sloppiness, and are very accurate to the extreme. In contrast, although he(LF) has basic training from doing archery, at most he is just more flexible and has more strength than ordinary people. However, his combat strength is far from enough.

Hearing that, Chen Shuyang trembled and he looked at Qin Tan. Gritting his teeth, Chen Shuyang nodded, “Then, I have to trouble Brother Qin, I will definitely work hard.”

Regarding Lou Fan making the decision without consulting him first, Qin Tan did not say anything about it. He only said, “Since you want me to teach you guys, you have to listen to me and can’t slack off in the slightest.”

The two nodded like a rattle.

Their house is located in the south 2nd ring, while the market is in the north inner ring. They need to cross the train tracks to get there. Therefore, the Lazuli trading hall is also called the South Square, and the bazaar is called the North Square, both in the inner ring. When they reached South Square, they put their bicycles away. The railroad tracks are under the overbridge. The arrival platform is in the South Square, and the departure platform is in the North Square.

There is a very conspicuous huge electronic screen on the South Square, which shows:
The number of survivors: 4,893.
The current highest level: Level 16 – He Zilun.

Lou Fan’s pupils shrink slightly, the highest level is really at 16th. What happens after that? Did He Zilun survive? Or did he leave Lazuli? Standing beside Lou Fan, Qin Tan also stared at the line of words. His expression looked deep, and no one knows what he is thinking.

Standing on the overbridge, the view of the squares on both sides is unobstructed. The overbridge is very wide and the walkway is made of glass, so it is inevitable to see the situation of the platform below. The situation on both sides is obviously very different. On the departure platform, most of them have a nervous expression; on the arrival platform, some people looked relaxed and some looked sorrowful. Lou Fan sighed. Soon, it will be his turn, setting foot on the unknown world again.

Upon crossing the overbridge, compared to the sparse people in the South Square, the North Square is a lot more lively. Before they even reach the ground (from the overbridge), Lou Fan can hear the sound from the crowd. The North Square is very large. There are 3 huge electronic screens in the middle area, and there are some stalls scattered around it. Lou Fan observed curiously as he walked, Qin Tan took them directly under the electronic screen.

Next to the electronic screen is a solar generator, which supports the electronic screen to work. The 3 electronic screens are split into information exchange, item exchange, and team request. Lou Fan looked at the electronic screen. There was not much content on it. Perhaps because of the need for remuneration, there is not much information on it.

Under the screen for information exchange, there are:

1. Purchase information about spiritual world. The remuneration is negotiable.
2. Seeking information regarding the use of Stargrass. The remuneration is negotiable…

The ones under item exchanges are similar. Lou Fan doesn’t know what is displayed. Of course, he doesn’t have the capital to exchange, so he doesn’t care.

Team request is like a job advertisement:

1. Urgently seeking a Level 7 team member. Requirements: long-range attack, good physical fitness, and best at close combat. Note: The team will provide equipment.

The following 4 lines of information are also similar. 10 minutes later, the screen refreshed, and there are 5 new messages. Compared with the first 2 screens, obviously this recruitment notice gets more attention from the people. Many people are standing there and copying and reading, and from time to time they discuss with people around them, “This requirement is too high”, “No one will go”, “The treatment is too good” and so on.

As a rookie who has just risen to the next level (from newcomer), Lou Fan can only fantasize about when it will be his turn to recruit team members. Of course, in fact, it is best not to recruit through this kind of channel. The team is best made of talents that you trust. After a few glances, the three of them went to the market again. It’s like its name, it is a small market, with weird things being sold on the stalls. The sellers are quite lax; some are dozing off, some are bragging with friends, and some are playing cards…

Lou Fan wondered, what is the difference between this and item exchange?

Qin Tan seemed to understand what Lou Fan is thinking, so he leaned into his ear and said, “The things listed on the electronic screen are different with this kind of item exchange.”

Lou Fan understood what it meant. It’s probably the difference between low-quality products and high-quality products.

There are not many people at the market at this moment. The three just walked and looked around with interest, but no one came to sell things to them at all, so they just browse at will.

“Say, do you think anyone wants radish flowers? Let’s set up a stall too.” Lou Fan said on a whim.

Chen Shuyang replied solemnly, “Brother Lou, I don’t recommend you to do this. First of all, we don’t know the value of the radish flower. Whether someone wanted it or not, setting up a stall just for this is a waste of time. Secondly, we also don’t know what other people’s things are and what’s the effect so it is not conducive to equivalent exchange. Thirdly, we are short on time, so we should train first.”

Chen Shuyang’s points are well-organized, and Lou Fan could not refute them.

When he walked to a booth, Lou Fan saw a very beautiful dagger and couldn’t help but look closer. The stall owner who was sleeping with a hood on his head suddenly jumped up, shocking Lou Fan.

“Come, step right up. If you see what you like, I can explain more for you!” The young man in his early twenties smiled. He looked handsome and has a very conspicuous blue stud earring on his ear. The young man is quite enthusiastic. Taking off the hood of his red sweater, he whispered with his hands blocking sideways, “There are also gossips, introductions to players and other types of businesses; everything is available. Whatever you can think of, I have it.”

Lou Fan: “…”

Why does he feel like this moment is very OOC (out of character)? It is as if he is walking in a lively street where street food and skewers are sold. Lou Fan rolled his eyes and laughed, “Then, if there is any business that deciphers the function of the weapon we brought with us (from reality)? We need it urgently.”

There is no one left in the village. No humans, no animals, not even the villagers who did not speak before this. Lou Fan couldn’t accept it and ran to find the old man NPC. Not surprisingly, he is gone too. This is truly a deserted village.

It’s over! His plan for getting equipment fell through! Lou Fan scratched his hair dejectedly, and a messy chicken coop formed on top of his head.

Chen Shuyang comforted Lou Fan, “Forget it, Brother Lou. Let’s go and find daily necessities.”

Lou Fan nodded, and Qin Tan said, “This village should have been abandoned long ago.”

This fact is true. When they entered a few yards, they could see that the contents are all decayed. The items collapsed when touched, which means they are abandoned for a long time, let alone daily necessities.

Lou Fan is about to collapse, “My God, don’t tell me that we won’t even find toiletries!” He won’t be able to withstand it even if he doesn’t have OCD.

Qin Tan curved his lips while looking at Lou Fan, “Don’t worry, toiletries are very cheap in Lazuli. You can change for them with a sweet potato.”

Hearing that, Lou Fan is finally relieved. With some food in hand, he will not die hungry, and with daily necessities in hand, he will not die dirty, so be it.

As they are passing through the radish flower field, they unexpectedly found that the flowers are still in full bloom. The pink and purple flowers are particularly conspicuous in this deserted village. Since Lou Fan didn’t get any equipment, in the spirit of not missing out on any benefits, he asked Qin Tan and Chen Shuyang to help him pick the flowers. Chen Shuyang obediently took the order and helped to pick a lot of flowers. Then, he picked one from the flower field that he thought looked the best and inserted it into his book.

“Shuyang, why did you put the flower in the book?” Lou Fan happened to see it and asked curiously.

Chen Shuyang lifted his glasses and said confidently, “Make a bookmark.”

Lou Fan chuckled. Although Chen Shuyang looked pitiful, Lou Fan felt that he is somewhat funny.

Qin Tan: “In Lazuli, you can also exchange stuff for weapons. Although it is not as good as bringing your spirit weapons, it is enough.”

Chen Shuyang nodded vigorously. He cheered up and continued to pick the flowers until Qin Tan’s backpack is packed full. Then they found a few cloth bags along the way and planned to come back tomorrow to dig some sweet potatoes and potatoes to bring back.

On the 9th day, the 3 of them continued to hoard food and filled the cloth bags fully before returning. After returning to the resting site, while there is still time, Lou Fan continued to ask Li Xin some questions.

On the afternoon of the 10th day, the group set off from the village and walked towards the platform where they got off. When leaving the village, Lou Fan glanced back. The quiet village looked dilapidated, surrounded by mountains and forests. It did not look like how they first saw it when they arrived at this world. The village has once been full of people and bustling with noise, but it still couldn’t help sinking in the long river of time. Even though knowing that this is a parallel world, Lou Fan can’t help but wonder if there is also a person named Yu Erniang who is treated like this in reality, and she too felt resentful for this.

Qin Tan is waiting for Lou Fan. Lou Fan turned around to catch up and walked forward side by side with him. The platform is faintly visible, and with his reliable teammate beside him, his nervous heart suddenly settled down.

The red and black old train stopped amid the sound of the whistle, and the people who had already swiped their watches and waited on the platform got on the train one by one. Lou Fan and Chen Shuyang got on the train together, while Qin Tan got in the next compartment. As soon as he got in the car, Lou Fan’s originally aching arm began to itch. He pulled his sleeves up and saw that the scar that was about to scab had grown pink new flesh. 10 minutes later, his arm is as good as before. There are no wounds, not even scars. Lou Fan touched the spot. So, the train also has a scar removal effect, huh? Nice.

The train ran at a constant speed, and there is a layer of mist outside the window. Nothing could be seen so Lou Fan simply held the bow to him and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, the whistle sounded again. They have arrived – Lazuli Town.

Chen Shuyang got off the car in front of him and let out an exclamation. Lou Fan followed behind carrying a cloth bag. When he got off the car, it is as if he has returned to a human society again. There are many people around the platform.

The people of the Level 6 team are healthy and kicking when they got out of the car. At this moment, their tight spirit loosened up and they carried a relaxed smile on their faces. He Yong patted Qin Tan on the shoulder and said to the two standing together, “Thank you for this time. If you need anything, come to me at any time, or you can look for them too.”

Looking at Qin Tan, who is staying silent, Lou Fan could only do the conversation himself, “Okay, I will look for you if there is a problem. I have written down your addresses. You guys should quickly go back and rest.”

He Yong nodded, thanked the two again before taking his team away. The rest of the Level 1 team members have left long ago while some newcomers are standing still at a loss. At this moment, they suddenly found themselves to be out of place. Because they didn’t build a good relationship with the seniors back in Luoyang Ancient Village, they are now completely clueless and don’t know anything. They don’t even know where to ask.

Qin Tan carried the backpack and took the cloth bags in Lou Fan’s hand. Then he said casually, “Let’s go.”

Lou Fan nodded and motioned Chen Shuyang to follow.

Qin Tan took the two of them to walk for about 20 minutes, and they arrived at a hall-like place. Lou Fan looked around curiously along the way. The hall is empty, with only a few large machines in it. Qin Tan walked to one of them and motioned Lou Fan to swipe his watch. A map is displayed on it.

“These are houses or small bungalows. A house can be shared with 2 people, gray-colored ones mean no one is staying in it so you can choose at will.” Qin Tan pointed at the boxes and said. Then he swiped the screen with his finger, and clicked on a house, “I live here, upstairs.”

Lou Fan looked at the 2 houses built side by side. The bottom box of the house that Qin Tan pointed to is gray. He stretched out his hand to tap on that box. Then a confirmation popup asked whether he is sure with his choice. Lou Fan chose Yes.

Seeing Lou Fan had chosen his place, Chen Shuyang leaned in and asked with a smile, “Brother Qin, can I choose the house next to you?”

Qin Tan nodded, and Chen Shuyang immediately swiped his watch to select his room. The whole process is done in 5 seconds without any hesitation. After the selection, Chen Shuyang saw Qin Tan and Lou Fan staring at him. Feeling embarrassed, he touched his head and giggle silly-ly.

After they have chosen their place, the two happily followed Qin Tan back home. The houses are built of a uniform style. It has 2 floors, with a roof garden for the upper floor and a small courtyard for the lower floor. The area of the house is quite large, and it is just like a fully furnished unit. It comes with simple decoration, bedroom, study room, gym, and kitchen. At a glance, they thought they have arrived at a resort.

There is an exchange machine next to the living room. Lou Fan walked over and looked at it curiously. Qin Tan took out a radish flower from his bag and placed it on a tray below. The machine made a beep and the tray retracted into the machine. 10 seconds later, the screen of the exchange machine lighted up, but only 1 of the 4 categories is lit.

Lou Fan: “Does this mean we can only exchange for daily necessities?” He read the options out.

Qin Tan nodded, “Yes, it means these lighted options are equivalent to a radish flower.”

Chen Shuyang felt like crying, “Brother Lou, will we starve to death?”

Lou Fan felt that something is wrong. He reached out and grabbed a handful of radish flowers from his bag. He didn’t count how many he took, but it seemed to be quite a lot. Then he put all of them on the tray that reappeared. The tray retracted again with a beep, and a countdown is displayed on the screen. This time, 30 seconds later, the screen lights up again. The four options, which are daily necessities, food and drink, medicine, and weapons and equipment are all lit.

Chen Shuyang opened his mouth wide and lifted his glasses. Looking at the screen, he turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Lou Fan who is smiling, “Brother Lou, your way is too brilliant. You can even do it like this!”

Qin Tan also looked speechless. He hadn’t studied this exchange machine before. Last time, he had nothing to exchange. Naturally, he didn’t know that he could stack items. If one has something to exchange, it is not difficult to find out about this. But Lou Fan’s mind sure turns quickly, he immediately thought to do this.

Lou-Practical-Fan helplessly said, “Isn’t this a basic thing? You guys don’t act like this, my pride will swell.”

Chen Shuyang waved his hand immediately, “Brother Lou, is there such a difficult ‘basic thing’? Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Go and exchange for some food, then rest after eating. After you wake up, I’ll take you two out for a walk.” Qin Tan stopped the two of them from talking, and also blocked Lou Fan’s eager hand from the machine.

Eating is the first priority, as well as the daily necessities that he needs. Qin Tan didn’t know whether the exchange mechanism could store the excess value. So, Lou Fan added the radish flowers one by one. They first exchanged for the daily necessities that they needed, and then put more flowers in to exchange for other things. Although there are quite a lot of radish flowers in their hands, they currently only have this item to exchange. As for the sweet potatoes, they were thrown aside by them three. But they needed a lot of things, such as food, medicine, and even weapons, so they had to save a little bit. Moreover, they need to inquire about intel.

Lou Fan grabbed his hair and felt almost sorrowful. What does it mean by ‘unable to make ends meet’? This is it! They must collect more things in the next world.

After dividing the exchanged items among them, Qin Tan said to rest early and took Chen Shuyang to his house. Lou Fan is left alone in his room so he took the toiletries and went into the bathroom without hesitation. After an hour, Lou Fan almost washed off a layer of his skin. He wiped his hair and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, feeling like he is alive again. While taking a bath earlier, he looked at spots of black water on the floor. It makes him feel like he hadn’t taken a bath for half a year, but the fact is that he only stayed in Luoyang Ancient Village for 10 days.

Lou Fan fell on the soft fabric sofa. After taking a shower, his exhaustion seemed to be washed away by water. His entire body felt soft, and it is so comfortable to wash with hot water on his body. Thinking about it, he slowly closed his eyes.

After a good night’s sleep, it is already 12 hours later when Lou Fan woke up. He grimaced painfully as he rubbed his sore neck. He is a 1.8 meters tall young man and he curled up on a 2-seater sofa for a night. Such talent.

When Lou Fan got up to wash, his dirty clothes are thrown on the ground and he won’t wear them again. He turned on the exchange machine, put in a handful of radish flowers, and began to study the menu carefully.

There are 4 options on the home screen. After putting the radish flower in, a string of numbers is displayed in the lower right corner. Lou Fan randomly clicked into the daily necessities area. In addition to daily necessities, there are also all the things needed in daily life, such as clothing, shoes, and hats. Maybe because there are enough radish flowers in the balance, many of the grids inside are lit up. He flipped further back of the menu but saw nothing as everything is greyed out.

Lou Fan chose a comfortable leisure clothing and clicked on other options to check. Now, only the first 2 categories have more exchangeable options. As for medicine and weapons/equipment, there’s only 1 item that is lit. Scratching his hair, Lou Fan decided to leave it alone. Poor is poor, there’s no way.

Unscrewing a bottle of water, Lou Fan opened the French windows and walked into the yard while drinking. There is nothing in the yard, just a bare piece of ground. Lou Fan stood in it and took a deep breath. Then, Qin Tan’s low voice that is carrying a smile sounded above his head, “Good morning.”

As soon as Yu Erniang said those words, the surrounding scene suddenly became festive. The black shadow disappeared and the villagers appeared in its place, with stiff smiles on their faces. Their clothes are those paper clothes burned to the dead.

Lou Fan saw several faces among the group, they are the people he saw previously rushing into Yu Erniang’s room, punching and kicking her.

“Look, our task is completed!” A girl from the Level 1 team exclaimed in surprise.

The 5 members of the Level 1 team looked at their watches. Lou Fan also leaned over, and it showed – Mission: Find Yu Erniang within 10 days. (Completed)

Looking at the Level 1 team that just completed their task, the Level 6 team members are very envious. It’s a pity that their task has just started.

Before the Level 1 team can enjoy their happiness, Yu Erniang said again, “Since you have come to our village, please stay and don’t leave. Let’s be a company together.”

Who wants to be with you?! Everyone thought this way, and get ready with weapons in their hands.

Qin Tan pulled Lou Fan back, and said, “Follow tightly behind me. Don’t try to help me, and take care of yourself.”

“Don’t worry…” Lou Fan is interrupted by Qin Tan before he could finish speaking.

Qin Tan: “Be obedient, don’t let me be distracted.”

As someone who had just had a showdown with his mother that he liked men, Lou Fan’s heart suddenly felt moved when he heard this. It’s like a drop of water dropped into a pool of calm water. He glanced at Qin Tan’s resolute profile, an inexplicable feeling filled his heart.

This man is so gerddam handsome!

“Okay.” Lou Fan promised and stood behind Qin Tan obediently, feeling extremely safe.

Since the level 1 team’s task has been completed, 2 of them don’t want to stay here anymore and planned to go back to the resting site. The other 3 (including Qin Tan) expressed their willingness to stay back to help the Level 6 team, sharing the pressure of the mobs. As for Boss Yu Erniang, the Level 1 team members expressed that they could do nothing. He Yong didn’t expect that they would still be willing to stay and help with the mobs, so naturally he is grateful.

The other 2 Level 1 members head back together. Unexpectedly, there are too many villagers and their fighting power is amazing. Those two had no time to handle the mob. One of them got swarmed by the villagers and beaten all over while the other tried his best to return to He Yong’s group. He was terribly wounded when he got back. As for the one who got swarmed, there is only a smear of blood in the place where the man fell in the distance. Everyone didn’t care about them, and could only brace themselves to deal with the villagers who rushed up to them.

The Level 6 team walked forward very slowly, and the rest of the people helped them share the pressure behind. The villagers expressionlessly rushed forward, repeating the slashing and beating movements mechanically, tirelessly. In the beginning, everyone except Qin Tan is still a little bit unable to attack the human-looking villagers. But in the end, they use all their might to attack them.

Chen Shuyang placed his book in his backpack. Holding a stick he had picked it up somewhere, he started swinging it around to beat the villagers. Not sure if he is lucky or what, Chen Shuyang is not injured at all so far. That person from Level 1 who wanted to leave just now is already injured, so it didn’t take long for him to suddenly cry out miserably. After a while, there isn’t any sound coming from him. Everyone can’t even protect themselves so no one can care about the person. Those who seek death should suffer the consequences themselves.

The stiff villagers fell down one after another, then disappeared. Next, they turned into black shadows and attacked the group again.

Chen Shuyang: “Frick, it’s not fair. They have 2 lives.”

Lou Fan: “…” It is indeed a bit unfair.

At this moment, the Level 6 team’s distance is about 20 meters away from Yu Erniang, right at the gate of the small farmhouse while Lou Fan and the others are about 10 meters behind them. The moment Level 6 members stepped over the threshold, Yu Erniang’s clothes turned to ashes. She turned into a scorched skeleton with pitch-black eyes looking straight at them. She let out a bitter scream, and a raging fire suddenly broke out in the farmyard. Both the teams (Level 6) in the house and outside (Level 1 + newcomers) could really feel the burning sensation of the fire. This is real fire!

Qin Tan yelled, “Don’t get burned by the fire.”

Before his voice fell completely, a Level 6 team member unconsciously tilted his body and his arm got injured by the tongue of fire. Instantly, like lighting a fuse, the tongue of fire swiftly swallowed the person. Everyone only heard the horrifying screams, and then there is no sound. There is only a scorched black figure left on the ground.

Under the glow of the flames, the group of people turned pale. But it is too late to be afraid now, a step slower and they might be the next one. Hence, the Level 6 members speeded up their movements one after another. Unfortunately, across the flames, the Level 6 members couldn’t hurt Yu Erniang. The man with darts in the team threw darts at Yu Erniang, but unfortunately, the distance of the darts is limited, and it can’t hurt Yu Erniang at all. The surrounding flames burned more vigorously as Yu Erniang screamed. While avoiding the flames, the Level 6 team had to deal with the dark shadows, so they inevitably got bloody scratches here and there. If this continues, they will not be able to kill the boss, and also get trapped by fire.

He Yong is anxious. This is bad, he is afraid that he has to die here today! He couldn’t handle it!

Lou Fan stood behind Qin Tan and didn’t have to worry about being injured. The main battlefield had taken away most of the mob’s hatred points (focus). He only needed to help Chen Shuyang occasionally to kill the mob. Lou Fan has good eyesight. He looked at the violent Yu Erniang and suddenly noticed that she had a pair of new and delicate little shoes in her arms. It was the pair she held in her arms before she died. Those shoes are very important to her!

Lou Fan’s eyes lit up and he shouted, “Qin Tan, hold the situation and don’t let the dark shadow touch me.”

Next, Lou Fan yelled at He Yong who is in the middle of the fire, “Team Leader He, I have an idea. Please help me distract her first.”

He Yong already ran out of choices at this moment. Hearing Lou Fan’s shout, he immediately seized the glimmer of hope and ordered the team members to attract Yu Erniang’s attention, and open opportunities for Lou Fan.

Lou Fan held his bow steadily. The string is stretched taut and his face looked calm. Everything around him seemed to have faded into nothing. Taking aim, Lou Fan shot without any hesitation. The glowing arrow flew out surprisingly fast and rushed into Yu Erniang’s arms with a burst of wind. The arrow hit the pair of shoes without error, and immediately afterward, Yu Erniang’s hollow eyes were rounded. She let out an inhuman scream. The scream shook people’s heads and everyone couldn’t help but cover their ears.

The surrounding scenery disappears like fading colors. After the scream disappeared, the group found themselves standing on the slopes of the back mountain. Weeds grow all around the area. A lone grave almost submerged by weeds looked very lonely by itself.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn’t believe that Boss Yu Erniang is resolved. The Level 6 team members almost burst into tears of joy. All 4 of them thought they are going to die here with Yu Erniang. With tears in his eyes, Li Xin raised her wrist and took a look. Then she said in surprise, “It’s done, our task is completed! That’s great!” She survived again in the mission world.

He Yong also took a look, then lay on the ground as if he is relieved. The next moment, he jumped up and walked towards Lou Fan.

Since Yu Erniang died, the shadows around them have disappeared. Lou Fan thought to himself, the unborn child is her obsession. So, if he shot the shoe, her obsession will disappear.

“Lou Fan, it’s all thanks to you this time. If it weren’t for you, we would probably…” He Yong choked, almost speechless. Even though he had survived 5 times, it still frightened him every time.

The other team members also came up to Lou Fan. Although they are tired, they still smiled and thanked Lou Fan. Lou Fan waved his hand, “Everyone is in this together, so it’s fine to help each other. You guys also told me a lot of experience. Besides, I get to accumulate actual combat experience too.”

Lou Fan is strong, humble, and not proud at all. Everyone likes him very much.

After a short break to recover their strength, everyone did not want to continue staying in this ghostly place. The lightly injured people helped the wounded Level 6 team members to walk back. Qin Tan’s arm is also scratched several times and left bloody stains. Lou Fan took out the bandage from his backpack and borrowed He Yong’s medicine. After applying the medicine, he wrapped the bandage around, almost wrapping Qin Tan’s arm into a mummy. Qin Tan doesn’t know if he should laugh or cry.

When the group returned to the resting site, none of the newcomers slept. They sat shivering in front of the fire. Lou Fan and the rest shouted at them from outside for a long time before someone came to open the door, and they are overjoyed to see them.

Lou Fan asked strangely, “What’s wrong with you?”

The newcomer replied, “Not long after you guys have left, there are horrible whistling noises everywhere…”

Then the newcomer saw a large group of wounded in the back. Unable to say anything more, he silently stepped aside. Seeing the Level 6 team hurt so badly, the newcomer covered his mouth and is shocked.

He Yong didn’t have the energy to speak. The others also laid down like dead dogs. They had wounds on their bodies and fought all night. At this moment, the sky is faintly pale, and it is about to dawn. Lou Fan is also tired. After talking to Qin Tan, he drank some water. Then he lay down and closed his eyes. He fell asleep almost instantly.

By the time Lou Fan woke up again, it is already 1.00 pm on the 8th day. Everyone’s tasks have been completed, the Level 6 team is seriously injured so they are all resting with their eyes closed. They had medicine in their hands, but the injuries they suffered are not minor, so they had to recuperate while waiting to get on the train. The Level 1 team is also injured but they don’t have medicine. The Level 6 team couldn’t keep taking care of them either, so they could only continue to rest in place. The newcomers still looked at them with horror, and also looked despair when they thought of the fact that they will need to complete the task in the next world like this.

In this mission world, there are only 7 members left on the newcomer team, 3 members on the Level 1 team, and 4 members on the Level 6 team. The return journey is on the afternoon of the 10th day, which means they will have to stay here for 2 more days.

Seeing Lou Fan wake up, Qin Tan handed him a baked potato. Lou Fan is really hungry too. He rubbed his hair, took 2 sips of water, and rinsed his mouth before biting a big mouthful of potatoes. Eating the potatoes, he suddenly disdained himself, “I will look for washing tools later, and collect some more food along the way. I feel like I am almost a savage, ah, I really want to take a bath!”

Chen Shuyang also woke up just now and nodded in agreement, “I have never felt so dirty.”

Qin Tan smiled, “You can wash when you go back. I’ll go out later to find out what is usable around here.”

Lou Fan finished the potatoes in 2-3 bites. Since Chen Shuyang performed well, Qin Tan also gave him some potatoes. The big boy with glasses smiled contentedly.

“Let’s go out and stroll around.” Lou Fan clapped his hands. He picked up his bow, then turned around and asked, “Do anyone want to go out with us to find some supplies?”

Since Yu Erniang has been resolved, there is nothing terrible outside, but the newcomers are still reluctant to go out. No one else wanted to go him and Lou Fan turned his head back indifferently, following behind Qin Tan with Chen Shuyang. Lou Fan is not a holy mother, since those people are unwilling to accept the reality, no one will force them. But the result is what they need to bear by themselves.

After walking around the village, Lou Fan stared into space, a little depressed.
