Chapter 24: Do You Miss Me?

On Wednesday, Zhao Botong completed the online written examination for the research team. After clicking the mouse to submit it, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Ten minutes later, Mu Shian called to ask how she had done.

“Teacher Mu,” Zhao Botong said, “I haven’t had any other hobbies all these years. Aside from reading, I’ve done nothing but read.”

Teacher Mu chuckled on the other end of the line and said reassuringly, “...”

Fang Zhan gazed at Lin Hao’s calm expression as he stood before him. He was already growing impatient. Yet when his icy voice slowly rang out, Lin Hao still remained silent.

Aside from the tanks’ impenetrable armor, their firepower was even more astonishing. It was no exaggeration to say that they could level the entire factory.

Although the Great Incense Pig had successfully advanced into a Transcendent Mutant Pig and grown even stronger, officially acquiring its second divine ability—the Divine Sense of Smell—its life remained much the same as before. Apart from serving as Gou Fugui’s mount, it still did nothing but eat and sleep, sleep and eat.

Yu Feng slowly began to open the “Primordial Extreme Spirit Prison.” Its power then advanced along the extended meridians toward the wolf’s ethereal spirit sea.

Although Ghostspirit was low-key within the sect and rarely revealed his true strength, he was at least powerful enough to participate in the sect’s decision-making.

Fei Le took the opportunity to sit between He Qiaoyi and Jiang Banxia. He wore an ordinary round-neck shirt, and, unusually, had no saber hanging from his waist. If not for his sharp eyes, he would have looked no different from an ordinary commoner.

To venture rashly into a perilous place without knowing anything about it was a grave taboo in the cultivation world, unless one had nowhere else to go. The situation was certainly dire now, but it did not yet seem to have reached the point where they had no choice but to enter.

Li Dadan gave the soldiers no chance to fire. He kicked the table over to use as cover, then extended the muzzle of his gun and fired repeatedly, killing every enemy who broke in.

As an immensely popular movie star, Chensen naturally possessed a certain ability to draw people along with him. Yet what the audience saw even more clearly was Qiao Shian’s own charm and strengths.

Yu Feng pulled out the weapon and laid him flat on the ground, then used his hand to close the man’s eyes. When he stood up, he discovered on the ground the phone belonging to Shuicheng Jian, crushed beneath someone’s foot.

Shousu said, “If you count the years, you had not yet been born at the time, so how could you have seen it? I was only three myself then, and I remember only fragments. The situation was urgent, and my master was unable to move with ease.”

The Great Zhou Dynasty possessed a powerful battle formation that shook the world, known as the Heavenly Emperor Battle Chariot. It was a formation created by Emperor Hongwu of Zhou, with unparalleled offensive power.

“That is indeed what I meant. Can we cancel that wager? I admit that I am no match for you,” Shi Ze said. Thinking back on it carefully, he had truly acted too impulsively at the time. He had lost a Myriad Spirits Pill for nothing, and the thought left him particularly distressed.

Lu Hong had spent many years in officialdom, so naturally he was skilled at reading people’s expressions. Seeing that they did not seem to be in the mood for tea, perhaps because the matter was urgent, he wisely decided not to delay them.

“Big brother, picking up an Earth-Covering Azure Bear for nothing—what incredible luck.” One of the chubby, round-faced men pointed at the bear as he spoke.

This was a splendorous and incomparable air. Even if no one appreciated it, one would still admire oneself in solitude, with a trace of desolation beneath the nobility. It was an aura that ordinary people could never possess. For one fleeting moment, the boy in Binglan’s eyes became a noble prince—only, his kingdom had already fallen.

The word had been formed, but where should it be written? Writing it on a huge boulder would make it impossible to carry, and the stone could not be moved. Writing it on a tree would be just as impractical, while writing it on animal hide was even less feasible.

“From now on, don’t call me Captain. We’re on vacation, so let’s address one another as brothers.” Now that they had entered society, they could no longer follow the rules of the unit, lest everyone feel constrained.

The echo of the word “Move!” had not yet completely faded from the air when Ye Wuxue shot toward Jiang Feng and Liming with a sharp whoosh.
