Volume 1, Chapter 34: Wang Nianwei, Lu Xiaoxiao

"Where this place is, I cannot explain in a word or two. But once you are here, returning is almost impossible."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Wang Nianwei's eyes turned red, and she pouted, on the verge of tears.

"Don't cry yet. I really want to know, why do you need to go back?"

"I have to go back! My thesis defense is tomorrow. If I don't pass, I'll lose my degree."

However, Hu Qi gritted his teeth. Even though cold sweat beaded on his forehead, he did not utter a single sound.

A faint pink glow appeared above the Alchemist's head; his teammate, Dai Ze, had teleported in just in time to cast Shallow Grave.

In the end, having no other choice, he finally changed his expression, glaring with wide eyes and issuing a vicious threat.

But Xiao Qian likely knew that the herbs she and he had spent the entire night gathering were not even half the quantity required by the two merchants.

The truth was, he was currently on a winning streak. If he ever lost, at least eighty percent of those who were now fawning over him would immediately turn around to bite, trampling him into the dirt without mercy.

He was clearly a rich second-generation heir from some prominent family; how else could he possess such an air of refinement?

Of course, for ordinary players, the Level 3 fierce beast zone was the limit; very few ventured into the Level 4 zone.

After saying this, Suxing lay flat on the grass, crossed his legs, and casually plucked a Blue Silver Grass from beside him, stripped off its roots, and stuck it in his mouth.

Two heavy, pitch-black long blades lay there, their bodies curved and etched with countless patterns. The hilts were wrapped simply in coarse cloth, but at the edge of the blade, there was a rather distinctive mark.

Duan Muchen, who had been conversing with several executives, noticed the situation over at Xia Xixi’s side. Seeing that she was surrounded by many people, most of them men, a flicker of displeasure appeared on his face. Although her safety was guaranteed here and no one would dare do anything to her, he felt a surge of annoyance.

That’s right, the hostages who had just returned must be inside. Who would have thought they would choose the Delta Force base as their hideout?

"Understood!" the Battalion Commander replied immediately. By the time Liu Hai returned to the front lines, Ni Dan and the others had already dug artillery fortifications. The number of shells landing on their position had decreased, which indirectly proved that his previous attack had been effective.

Frequent meetings make it easy to understand one another and thus develop mutual affection, but the relationship between the frequency of interaction and the degree of liking follows an inverted U-shaped curve. That is, both too low and too high a frequency of interaction result in lower levels of mutual affection, while a moderate frequency leads to a higher degree of liking.

After more than ten minutes, the drone finally left the Kismayo area, and only then did Qin Tian’s heart slowly settle.

Lin Jiu continued to uncover several critical pieces of information. Although they were fragmentary, they offered a glimpse into the bigger picture.

The communications officer on the other end of the line, though puzzled, could only obey the order and hurriedly called the driver to have them turn back.

"Knowing that President Qin is busy with the Qin family's business, I came uninvited, so naturally, I had to find my own place to dine." As he spoke, he raised his glass of red wine in a salute, gesturing toward the other glass of wine already poured on the table.

However, for the time being, I stayed behind closed doors and simply instructed my people to investigate. In any case, I had no intention of vying for power.

"Playing games together, going to the internet cafe together, going to school together, coming home together—that's fine." Fu Qingze finally couldn't hold it in and blurted out the words he had been keeping inside for a long time.

The officials who supported Li Shimin also expressed their agreement, and under Li Shimin's leadership, the hundred officials followed the main party to the fields belonging to the royal family.

But Jiang Yuanlang had been secretly training private soldiers, colluding with barbarian tribes, and poisoning both court ministers and the Emperor. How could he have merely fallen out of imperial favor instead of being beheaded?
