After discussing with Uncle Li, Xue Mo Yin took everyone to the shooting range. The three girls were all sitting in Xue Mo Yin's car, while Zi Qiao and Zhan Bo were crammed into Teacher Zeng's Chery. Zi Qiao grew increasingly uncomfortable, muttering, "No way, when I have money, I'm definitely buying a luxury car. Otherwise, this car is beneath my status."
Teacher Zeng, hearing the disdain for his car, became unhappy. "Oh, what status do you have? I, a public figure, haven't said anything. Besides, what's wrong with my car?"
Zhan Bo, standing beside him, rolled his eyes and retorted, "You've turned a perfectly good white car into a gray one."
Zi Qiao, curious, asked, "What? Does this car change color?"
"No, it's because Teacher Zeng is too cheap to wash it."
"What!" Zi Qiao looked at Teacher Zeng like a monster, "Teacher Zeng, you're too cheap to wash your car?"
Zeng Xiao Xian rolled his eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just waiting for it to rain!"
…
On the other side, in Xue Mo Yin's car, Yi Fei seemed to remember something. "Right, where is our next mission?"
Xue Mo Yin thought for a moment. This question wasn't easy to answer, so he could only vaguely say, "In the US."
Wan Yu was a little disappointed, as she knew the place very well. "Ah? In the US? What's there worth exploring?"
"What I'm talking about might be different from what you think. It's not just simple exploration. Alright, we'll talk about it when the time comes," Xue Mo Yin waved his hand, not wanting to continue the topic.
Mei Jia spoke up, "So, have you decided who you're bringing this time? Or are we all going?"
Hearing this, Hu Yi Fei warned Xue Mo Yin, "I'm telling you, you can't bring Zhan Bo. What if something happens to him? How will our family carry on the lineage?"
Xue Mo Yin rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't bring him this time. At least for the first few missions, it's impossible to bring him. Alright, we're here, let's get out."
As they got out of the car, a handsome young man was already waiting there. He waved at Xue Mo Yin when he saw him. "Xiao Mo, over here." This was the Xiao Tian Uncle Li had mentioned, Uncle Li's son, whose full name was Li Tian Yi.
Li Tian Yi was also quite curious. In his impression, Xue Mo Yin, besides him, his childhood friend, had almost no friends. Today, he brought so many people here. "I said Xiao Mo, you're not going to introduce me to them."
Xue Mo Yin said to Yi Fei and the others, "This guy is my childhood friend, Li Tian Yi. Just call him Xiao Tian."
Then, he said to Xiao Tian, "These are my roommates. This beautiful lady..."
Before he could finish, Xiao Tian interrupted, excitedly saying, "Whoa! You've been out gambling! Why are you renting an apartment? What about your family's villa?"
Oh, man… I forgot to tell this guy. Oops, how do I explain this? The others were looking at him with suspicion. Having a villa and then renting an apartment doesn't seem quite right. Only Mei Jia remained unchanged, probably because she hadn't understood at all.
Xue Mo Yin looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I'm not deliberately trying to deceive you. I'll explain to you when we get back."
Hu Yi Fei nodded. Based on their interaction over the past few days, Xue Mo Yin didn't seem like a bad person.
But Li Tian Yi, on the other side, was confused. "What do you mean? What's going on with you? Believe me, I'll call my old man and have him ask you."
Xue Mo Yin glared at him and said angrily, "Go away! It's cold and empty in there, why would I live there? Quickly arrange a place for us."
"Alright, alright. You're the boss, as long as you're alright. Do you need me to arrange some coaches?" Although Xiao Tian looked smiley, his family was involved in some dark business. And, this guy had been slowly taking over his father's business for the past few years. He had truly seen blood and could tell at a glance that this group were all newbies.
Xue Mo Yin thought for a moment and nodded. After all, to improve one's marksmanship, besides being fed with bullets, a good teacher was also essential.
They followed Li Tian Yi to a large space, which was probably his personal training area. There were no outsiders.
Seeing all the firearms, the people from Love Apartment couldn't resist. Several of them ran over, touching this and tapping that. Fortunately, there were no outsiders, or Xue Mo Yin felt he would have been embarrassed to death.
"Ahem, alright, stop playing around. Now, let's train seriously. But you have to be careful, these are real guns, the recoil isn't a joke. If your body can't handle it, stop immediately."
"Got it, got it."
"Don't worry, we understand."
"I'm a CS pro."
Xue Mo Yin helplessly rubbed his forehead. These guys! Li Tian Yi found it amusing. "I said Xiao Mo, where did you find these friends? They feel..."
"Like you, they are all weird."
Hearing this, Li Tian Yi was unhappy. "Hey hey hey! What are you saying? You're starting to make personal attacks!"
After a few jokes, Li Tian Yi became serious. "I said, you're not trying to use these people to rebuild your parents' organization? If it really doesn't work out, I can lend you some people. These guys..."
Xue Mo Yin smiled, full of confidence. "Well, it's not exactly about taking over my parents' business. I'm just treating it as an adventure, a treasure hunt. As for them..."
Looking at the group shooting at the target range, "They are stronger than you think! You'll know when the time comes." He was still confident, even if someone like Teacher Zeng was a waste, he was sure that with the system's help, he could make this jerk achieve super-god level.
However, Xiao Tian, who was standing next to him, clearly didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything more. "I said, when you get something good, just come find me directly. Let me see how much you've learned from your parents."
"Go away! I told you, it's mainly exploration, I'm not a professional treasure hunter."
Xiao Tian clearly didn't believe it, but he just said, "Yes, yes, exploration. Remember your brother if you find any good stuff. My old man has handed the business over to me. My brother is in dire need of things."
"Okay, okay, I know."
Later, Xue Mo Yin also joined the training. Although he had encountered a lot of this stuff, his marksmanship was... well, to put it mildly, it was terrible. So, he decided to practice seriously.
After two hours, everyone's arms couldn't handle it anymore, and they were all resting on the side. At this point, only Xue Mo Yin and Hu Yi Fei were still going strong. He waved his hand, telling Yi Fei to stop. He threw her a bottle of water. "Alright, that's it for training today. Tomorrow or later, if you have time, you can come over anytime."
Everyone nodded. After saying goodbye to Xiao Tian, they left.
On the way back, Yi Fei stared at Xue Mo Yin. "Come on, why do you live in an apartment when you have a villa?"
Wan Yu was also curious, but her twinkling eyes revealed a hint of nervousness, because she was in a similar situation. Meanwhile, Mei Jia was still clueless. "Yi Fei Jie, what are you talking about? Who has a villa?"
Hu Yi Fei slapped her forehead. "Oh my god, did you not hear anything?"
Mei Jia shook her head. Yi Fei was completely speechless. "Never mind, I give up. Mo Yin, do you have an explanation?"
Xue Mo Yin had already thought about an explanation for this matter. "Whew, well, let me put it this way, five years ago my parents passed away, and I started my exploration journey. I haven't been back home in almost five years. I only came back recently. Like I said, that house is cold and lifeless. It doesn't feel like home. So, I wanted to find a place outside, start a new life." These words were half-truth, half-lie, but most of it was his heart's desire.
