"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, it's too dangerous outside the base. I don't want to take any risks."

Gu Fan rejected Lu Ya's proposal just as he had rejected Xinghe and the others, and proposed a solution: "If you don't believe in the efficacy of the Beast Repellent Pill, you and I can cancel the deal. You return the Beast Repellent Pill to me, and I'll refund you 10,000 Merit Points."

There was a sound of inhalation behind him, it was Meng Lianying covering his mouth.

It was normal for Gu Fan to reject them, but how dare Gu Fan reject his cousin?

Meng Lianying's eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at Gu Fan.

Hearing this, Lu Ya turned the porcelain bottle in his hand and looked at Gu Fan with scrutiny: "You don't dare to go to An City with me. Are you worried that I will find out that this is fake medicine and you won't be able to explain it?"

Gu Fan said sternly, "You can insult me, but don't insult my grandfather."

Lu Ya: "Miss Gu, you misunderstood. I won't insult anyone unless they provoke me first. However, since you're in the drug business, you should establish a good reputation. We can cancel this deal, but I will question the efficacy of your drugs. If I question them, the base's Industrial and Commercial Administration Department will never apply for a business license for you. Without a business license, any drugs you sell will be seized by the police."

If Gu Fan looked back, he would have discovered that the corners of Meng Lianying's mouth had begun to twitch.

But Gu Fan was skeptical of Lu Ya's threat: "Yesterday I was selling drugs at the police station, and I didn't have a business license. Why didn't they arrest me?"

Lu Ya: "Because at that time, those policemen thought you were someone I wanted to take care of, so they gave me face."

Gu Fan: ...

Meng Lianying finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked up to Gu Fan, patted her shoulder and said, "Just go with your cousin. Don't worry, my cousin is here, he will definitely protect you and bring you back safely." Meng Lianying silently added in his heart, "If your beast-avoiding pill is really effective."

Gu Fan finally understood that she had offended the local tyrant in the base. If she didn't agree to Lu Ya, she would not be able to gain a foothold in the base.

"Of course, if Miss Gu's medicine is effective, I will compensate you with 10,000 points as compensation for your physical and mental fatigue in traveling back and forth to An City."

After beating him with a stick, Lu Ya handed Gu Fan a sweet date at the right time.

Gu Fan didn't feel sweet at all, but this high compensation did make her feel a little better.

At this moment, Xinghe, Fenghuo, Taishan, and Qingteng, who had been listening in, ended their whispered discussion and came over to Lu Ya and said, "Young Marshal, before you came here, Gu Fan had already agreed to go with us to An City to complete the mission. Since Young Marshal is also going to An City to hunt the wind bear, how about we go together?"

Gu Fan's heart moved slightly, but his face did not reveal any flaws.

Seeing that Lu Ya seemed reluctant, Xinghe explained with a smile, "Gu Fan is timid. If a monster attacks, she will feel more at ease with more people around her. Of course, after this trip, after seeing the young commander's strength, and having the opportunity to go out alone with him again, she will definitely not have such concerns anymore."

Lu Ya accepted this explanation and asked, "When are you planning to go to An City?"

Xinghe: "Let's set off early the day after tomorrow, what do you think, Young Marshal?"

Lu Ya: "Okay."

Meng Lianying coughed, put a hand on Gu Fan's shoulder, and pleaded for her: "Cousin, look at Fanfan, a newly arrived retail investor who doesn't even have a decent set of armor. It's so dangerous outside the base. Since you asked her to go out with you, shouldn't you prepare a set of armor for Fanfan?"

Gu Fan looked at him again. Don't think that she would forget that Meng Lianying arranged a sofa for Lu Ya to sit face to face with her.

Lu Ya was very generous: "A set of A-level battle armor, is that okay?"

Meng Lianying's eyes lit up, and then he felt a little jealous. He said sourly, "I worked hard to earn my A-rank armor. Cousin, you're biased."

Lu Ya turned a deaf ear and dialed a number. While waiting, he looked Gu Fan up and down.

Gu Fan was puzzled.

Three seconds later, the communication was connected, and Lu Ya said expressionlessly: "Prepare a set of female A-level battle armor, 170 cm tall, and other dimensions calculated according to the golden ratio. It will be delivered tomorrow morning..."

Gu Fan noticed an unfamiliar word, the golden ratio.

She turned around and asked Meng Lianying, who was closest to her, "What is the golden ratio?"

Meng Lianying's handsome face flushed slightly, his eyes flickering: "I can't tell you about this, you can check it yourself."

Gu Fan looked at the others.

Xinghe had already sat back on the sofa reading the newspaper. Fenghuo dragged Taishan and Qingteng to play cards without even looking at her.

"Meet at the base exit the day after tomorrow morning."

Lu Ya arranged Gu Fan's armor, stood up and said goodbye.

Meng Lianying went to see him off. Gu Fan opened the notebook behind him and searched for "golden ratio".

A lot of content popped up on the web page. Gu Fan picked a link related to body shape and clicked on it. After reading it carefully, she finally understood why Lu Ya glanced at her quickly before calling her.

As a centenarian female cultivator whose age was about the same as the five men in Meng Lianying combined, Gu Fan felt that she was being flirted with by a young man.

A young man who is a genius despite being young and whom she is sure she cannot beat.

Meng Lianying had just returned from sending Lu Ya home. Seeing Gu Fan staring at his laptop screen with an unhappy expression, Meng Lianying guessed what was going on and quickly explained, "Fanfan, don't get me wrong. My cousin does like to use his power to coerce people, but he would never deliberately tease anyone. He observed your figure simply to find the right armor for you. You wouldn't want the armor to be delivered to you and not fit you, right?"

Gu Fan calmed down and asked him, "I heard that A-class armor can fly?"

Meng Lianying: "Yes, A-class armor is equipped with flight boots and a jet engine. It can reach speeds of 20 kilometers per hour and can withstand physical attacks with the strength of bullets. Due to the shortage of high-tech materials, A-class armor is in short supply. Usually, only A-class psychics who have reached a certain contribution value can obtain a set."

"Yeah, why is your cousin so generous to Fanfan?" Fenghuo asked suspiciously.

Meng Lianying patted his head and said, "Maybe he wants to borrow Fanfan temporarily? My cousin has to go deal with that wind bear, so he's probably worried that something might happen to Fanfan."

Gu Fan: ...Why is it getting more dangerous the more you talk?

At eight o'clock the next morning, two men in military uniforms, armed with guns, personally handed the armor to Gu Fan. After the handover, the two men left.

Gu Fan went back to his room to change clothes.

I have to say that Lu Ya's gaze is quite sharp. After Gu Fan's marrow cleansing, her body really conforms to the golden ratio mentioned by modern people. The close-fitting black and gray armor worn on her body not only perfectly outlines her figure, but also ensures that any of her movements are smooth and natural without any hindrance.

Following Qing Teng's example, Gu Fan tied all his long hair on top of his head.

After getting dressed, Gu Fan opened the door and walked down the stairs.

Meng Lianying and the others were waiting in the hall. Seeing Gu Fan, dressed in battle armor, gradually descending the stairs, Fenghuo swallowed deeply and muttered quietly, "It turns out that not all female psychics become men when they put on battle armor."

Before he could finish his words, Qing Teng kicked him in the calf.

Fenghuo let out a scream.

Qing Teng directly called out to Gu Fan, "Come on, I'll take you to practice how to operate the flying boots."

Practicing inside the base is too conspicuous and inconvenient.

Xinghe said to Taishan, "You go with them."

There are no high-level monsters near the base. What Gu Fan needs to be wary of are other mercenaries. A set of A-level armor is enough to make some mercenaries take risks to snatch it.

Three minutes later, Taishan drove away from the villa with Gu Fan and Qing Teng.

Fenghuo leaned against the doorway with his arms folded, watching the SUV drive away. He turned around and asked Xinghe, "Didn't you say you were going to do the mission in Ning City? Why did you change to An City?"

At this moment, Fenghuo's eyes no longer had the usual casual and playful look, and he was very calm.

Menglianying was also quieter than usual, waiting for Xinghe's answer.

Xinghe sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper while calmly answering: "Gu Fan seems to be hiding some secrets. Lu Ya wants to know, and I am also curious."

Fenghuo frowned: "So, you asked to go with me, not to protect Fanfan?"

Xinghe: "Protection and observation can be carried out at the same time. These two things are not contradictory."

Fenghuo emphasized: "I don't think Fanfan is a bad person."

Xinghe smiled, looked over and said, "I didn't say she was a bad person. If I had any doubts about her character, I wouldn't let her live here."

Fenghuo couldn't see through him, so he turned to Meng Lianying and asked, "You brought Fanfan back here, what do you say?"

Meng Lianying thought of the flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pills that Gu Fan had given her. As Xinghe guessed, Gu Fan must have other secrets.

But he promised Gu Fan that he would not tell anyone else.

"I think she's just timid. She's never been in contact with anyone except grandpa, so she can't trust us completely."

In his eyes, Gu Fan was simple, kind, and eager to learn, just like a retail girl who had not experienced much of the world.

Fenghuo nodded: "I agree with you."

Xinghe adjusted his glasses. "Why are you all acting like I'm a bad person? I only said I wanted to observe her, not harm her. By comparison, Lu Ya forced her to go to An City. That's the real bad guy. Why don't you criticize him?"

Fenghuo: "Lu Ya is too strong, I don't dare."

Xinghe looked towards Menglianying.

Meng Lianying: "You are a fox, so it's okay for you to say a few words. My cousin is a wolf, and if you provoke him, you will be bitten back."

At seven o'clock in the morning, Gu Fan and the other two left the base. The major general guarding the base entrance reported the matter to Lu Ya, including the video of the three people sitting in the car entering and leaving.

Lu Ya sat alone in the study of the villa, watching Gu Fan in the video.

She sat in the back seat, her face hidden by the window glass, with only her upper body to her knees exposed.

The body wrapped in the armor was sexy and hot, but Lu Ya didn't care and clicked on another video.

It was a surveillance video from the prison, recording the process of Gu Fan throwing a red pill to Meng Lianying.

The surveillance camera only captured the corridor and also recorded the sound, but the conversation between the two people was too low to be distinguishable.

Lu Ya believed that Gu Fan was a retail investor, so she didn't know about the existence of surveillance cameras.

Lu Ya pressed the screen, and the video froze at the moment the red pill flew out of Gu Fan's hand. He zoomed in, and the pill, the size of an ordinary cherry, became clearer.

It must be this medicine that cured Lian Ying's leg injury, which was so deep that the bone was visible, in just three hours or even less. He recovered as before, and the effect was amazing.

Lu Ya was very interested in this red pill.

He wanted to know if Gu Fan had more stock, and he wanted to know even more if she actually had an S-class grandfather with wood-type superpowers. If the grandfather was just a smokescreen she made up, it meant that Gu Fan not only had the powerful strength to survive outside the base for a long time, but also that those miraculous medicines were all made by her herself.

If this is true, Lu Ya will never let go of such a talent.
