“Alright, that’s it for today. We'll have a day off tomorrow and we'll leave the day after,” Xue Mo Yin said, looking at the time.
Everyone stopped in unison. Over the past four days of training, everyone had made significant progress. Zi Qiao's Fang Tian Hua Ji might not have any fancy techniques, but at least he could use the basic chopping techniques skillfully. Yi Fei once again demonstrated her terrifying martial arts talent. Her "Breaking Shadow Blade Art" was close to mastery. Even Xue Mo Yin and Zi Qiao together couldn't last fifty moves against her.
In those four days, Wan Yu had completely absorbed the memories of the TCM master. Now, all she needed to do was to master them. The one that surprised Xue Mo Yin the most was Mei Jia. After four days of training, she had progressed from controlling a single cup to effortlessly controlling a person. Of course, everyone’s most obvious improvement was in their physical fitness, since the effects of the marrow cleansing pill hadn't fully manifested at the time.
As for gun skills, that was a bit of a mixed bag. Well, how should I put it? People say that sharpshooters are trained by bullets. But they’ve fired a lot of bullets these past few days and their gun skills haven't changed. Even the coaches were starting to despair.
They all laughed and chatted as they returned to the villa. At that moment, Zhan Bo was sitting on the sofa in 3601. He was overjoyed to see them come back. He had been thinking about it for days and finally understood why they were training so hard. “Sister, are you guys going on an adventure? Take me with you! I want to go too!”
Before Mo Yin could speak, Hu Yi Fei said, “You? What can you do? Why would you go? Are you looking to die? Right now, all you need to do is earn money, find a girlfriend and continue the family legacy!”
Zhan Bo retorted, “Why can't I go? At the very least, I can protect Wan Yu!”
Mei Jia sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking disdainful. “You? Do you think you're Wan Yu's match?” Actually, the memory jade pendant Wan Yu received didn't just contain medical skills. You know, as a TCM practitioner, collecting herbs is also an essential skill. But in ancient times, to go up the mountain to collect herbs, you couldn't survive without some self-defense skills. It has to be said that Wan Yu's luck was truly good. The person happened to be a whip master, so Wan Yu naturally inherited that set of whip techniques.
Of course, Zhan Bo didn't know any of this. He felt insulted when he heard Mei Jia say that. “How can that be? Wan Yu isn't my sister.”
Hu Yi Fei had a black line on her face. She really felt that she had raised her younger brother in vain.
Wan Yu showed a dangerous smile. “Do you want to try it?”
This smile made Zhan Bo feel like he was looking at his sister, Hu Yi Fei. He couldn't help but shiver. He was heartbroken and sat down on the sofa.
Yi Fei was also a little helpless. “I told you, little bro, adventures aren’t as simple as you think. It's not like watching movies or playing video games. It's very dangerous. You're not ready for it.”
When they came back, Zi Qiao had already made a date with a girl and gone to Shenlong Baiwei. He had been cooped up for days, otherwise, he might have given Zhan Bo a lesson. Although he's usually unreliable, his title as a life mentor isn't a joke.
Since Zi Qiao wasn’t there, Xue Mo Yin reluctantly took on the task.
“Alright, Zhan Bo, lift your head up!”
Hearing Mo Yin’s serious tone, Zhan Bo was a little surprised, but he still lifted his head.
Mo Yin casually lit a cigarette, a habit of his. “You want to go on an adventure?”
Zhan Bo nodded affirmatively.
“Why?”
This caught Zhan Bo off guard. He thought for a moment before saying, “Maybe I can find aliens. Right, and Transformers!”
“Lu Zhan Bo!” Hu Yi Fei was about to get angry when Xue Mo Yin pulled her back. Zhan Bo saw this and lowered his head again.
Mo Yin frowned. “Lift your head up! Although your reason sounds ridiculous, it is still your goal. If you really have made up your mind, I can take you.”
When she heard this, Hu Yi Fei was the first to get anxious, but Xue Mo Yin patted her hand, signaling her to listen to him.
Zhan Bo excitedly stood up. “Really? Of course I’ve made up my mind. When do we leave? I’m going to bring all my Transformers!”
“Heh, have you really made up your mind? Do you really have the courage? Ask your heart. Have you, Lu Zhan Bo, truly prepared yourself? What do you think this is? A game? Do you have the courage to face danger? Do you have the determination to protect others with your weapon? Can you persevere?”
These questions stunned Zhan Bo. Hu Yi Fei sighed. She knew that her younger brother wasn't really prepared at all.
Xue Mo Yin patted Zhan Bo on the shoulder. “When you can look me in the eye and tell me that you’re ready and you’ve made up your mind, then I will definitely take you.”
He said no more and went back to his room to rest. He had been a little tired these past few days.
Mei Jia and Wan Yu also left one after another. Hu Yi Fei spoke to Zhan Bo earnestly. “I know you've always wanted to go on adventures since you were little, but you've never prepared yourself. You haven’t truly understood what adventure is, and you’ve never thought about truly going on an adventure. Little bro, listen to your sister, it's really not for you.”
But Zhan Bo really had a stubborn streak. “No, Sister. I will definitely meet Mo Yin's requirements.”
“You, forget it. Do what you want.” Hu Yi Fei shook her head and didn't bother to persuade him anymore. Because she knew her younger brother well. This matter would pass after a couple of days, and he would be back to his old self.
After a day of rest, everyone arrived at the villa early. Hu Yi Fei and Zi Qiao looked clearly excited, their weapons slung behind their backs. They each had two pistols strapped to their waists, and a dagger strapped to their legs.
Hu Yi Fei was wearing a tight grey sports vest with a light-colored jacket over it, and casual pants. It allowed for maximum flexibility.
Xue Mo Yin wore a black windbreaker, his long sword slung behind his back. Zi Qiao was dressed in similar fashion, mainly black, also ensuring flexibility. However, the Fang Tian Hua Ji on his back was too eye-catching.
Seeing that they were carrying other things, Xue Mo Yin sighed. “Why can’t you guys just put your things in the spatial backpacks?”
The two of them stared blankly. “There's that thing?”
“I’m going to die.” Xue Mo Yin rolled his eyes helplessly. “Have either of you actually listened to anything I’ve said?”
Both of them smiled sheepishly and, after a series of operations, finally managed to put everything in the backpack. This was a perk given by the system, where each team member had a spatial backpack with approximately fifty square meters of space. Xue Mo Yin’s, however, had a space of two hundred square meters.
“Check your gear.”
He had gone to Xiao Tian yesterday and gotten some guns and bullets. Just to be safe, he gave each person three grenades.
“No problems.”
Xue Mo Yin nodded, taking out the dimensional jade card. “Then let’s get ready to go.”
“The beauties of other worlds, I, Lü Xiaobù, am here!”
Hearing this, Hu Yi Fei gave him a look of disdain. “Ugh, your tastes are so heavy.”
“Are you sure these even count as beauties?” After saying this, Xue Mo Yin activated the jade card.

Lü Zi Qiao twitched at the corner of his mouth. “No way! Biohazard!”
Mei Jia started mocking him relentlessly. “Wow, I didn’t know Mr. Lü liked this kind of thing. Be careful you don't end up with a little zombie baby.”
