Through these few words, Jiang An secretly tried to figure out the identities and intentions of the group of people in front of him.

Just then, as the player who identified himself as Wu Jianguo clearly explained his purpose, her gaze involuntarily fell on him.

At this moment, when she heard the player who called himself Wu Jianguo take the initiative to state his purpose, and saw his just-right stopping distance and sincere attitude, her tense nerves relaxed a little, and the wary expression on her face also eased a lot.

Despite appearing relaxed on the surface, a trace of vigilance remained deep within her heart.

As the saying goes, you can't see into someone's heart. Who can truly guess what someone is thinking?

“Okay, sure, I’m Jiang An!” Jiang An replied after a moment’s thought.

"Jiang An?" Upon hearing this, the woman called Xiaoyu couldn't help but blurt it out.

Immediately afterwards, her face was full of excitement, and she ran forward as fast as the wind.

As she ran, she couldn't wait to say, "Jiang An, I never expected to meet you here! I'm Li Xiaoyu, the one who traded with you before entering the dungeon!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Jiang An, and he instantly understood who the person in front of him was.

So, she stepped forward with a smile, took two steps, stopped, and said with the same smile, "Oh, it's you, Li Xiaoyu! We usually only trade online, I never expected to meet you here! What a coincidence!"

"Of course! What a wonderful coincidence that we have! You can just call me Xiaoyu! So, can I call you An'an?"

As Li Xiaoyu spoke, her gaze was fixed on Jiang An, as if she wanted to take in every subtle change in her expression. She was uneasy, afraid that she might catch even the slightest trace of reluctance in Jiang An's expression.

Fortunately, Jiang An readily replied, "Of course, no problem, Xiaoyu!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Li Xiaoyu beamed with joy, grabbed Jiang An's hand, and exclaimed happily, "Oh, that's great, An'an!"

Just then, Wu Jianguo suddenly interjected, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's get down to business first. You two can catch up properly when you have more time later!"

His interruption snapped Li Xiaoyu out of her daze. She quickly slapped her forehead and smiled apologetically, "Look at my memory! I was so busy chatting with An'an that I almost forgot about the important matter!"

"An'an, let me formally introduce my teammate to you. This is the famous Wu Jianguo, Brother Wu! That's right, the well-known and highly respected Brother Wu Jianguo in District 1632!"

As she spoke, Li Xiaoyu pointed to Wu Jianguo, who was standing to the side.

Jiang An looked in the direction Li Xiaoyu was pointing and realized that the person in front of him was the famous big shot in District 1632.

This Wu Jianguo is not only famous in District 1632, but also a well-known good person!

The various methods he used to solve the water shortage problem in the desert region, as well as his generous donations of supplies to the second batch of players who lost their relatives, were all acts of kindness that he strongly advocated and put into practice.

Jiang An had always admired this kind-hearted and capable person, but he never expected to have the chance to meet him here, let alone that he would be like this...

"Hello, Jiang An! I've heard so much about you. On behalf of the players who received your donated supplies, I sincerely thank you!" Wu Jianguo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang An quickly waved her hand in response, "Brother Wu, you're too kind! Compared to what you've done, I've only donated a little bit of supplies, it's really nothing!" She replied with a humble smile.

... ...

Just then, Li Xiaoyu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but interject when she saw the two of them praising each other non-stop: "Alright, alright, you two stop flattering each other! An'an, let me introduce you to our team's other two teammates!"

After saying that, she waved to the side.

“Okay!” Jiang An replied, his gaze turning to the direction Li Xiaoyu was pointing.

A tall, handsome young man eagerly stepped forward. Without waiting for Li Xiaoyu's introduction, he excitedly introduced himself: "Hey, hello Jiang An! My name is Zhang Tianming! Oh my god, I'm finally meeting you in person! I've bought so many things from you before, especially that boxed lunch—it was absolutely delicious!"

Jiang An smiled slightly and replied politely, "Hello, you can just call me Jiang An from now on!"

"I..." Zhang Tianming wanted to say something more!

However, before he could finish speaking, another slightly thinner but equally energetic boy, Zhao Xifeng, suddenly rushed forward, covered Zhang Tianming's mouth, which was about to ramble on, and said to Jiang An with a smile, "Haha, sorry, Jiang An, this guy gets excited and can't control his mouth! My name is Zhao Xifeng, nice to meet you!"

Seeing this comical scene, Jiang An couldn't help but purse her lips, trying to suppress her laughter, but she still couldn't completely hold it in, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Standing to the side, Li Xiaoyu stomped her feet in anger and said reproachfully, "Can't you two be a little more reserved?!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became exceptionally pleasant.

The awkward atmosphere between the two sides also lessened.

After the two sides got to know each other, Wu Jianguo took the initiative to invite Jiang An to temporarily join the team and work together to solve a settlement they had discovered.

This settlement was slightly smaller than the one Jiang An had discovered before, but not by much. They also found the same strange stone statue and pool.

They had already come up with a plan to deal with the stone statue, but because they didn't have enough people, they hadn't taken action yet. They came out this time to find teammates.

After the issues at the gathering place are resolved, Jiang An can decide for himself whether or not to join the team.

After hearing Wu Jianguo's words, Jiang An only thought about it briefly before agreeing.

The battle that took place late at night still haunted her, and it made her realize that she and Little Turtle alone could not solve the problem of an entire settlement; teamwork was also needed.

"Great! With An'an and the little turtle's strength, we'll definitely be able to take down this settlement!" Li Xiaoyu said, sitting on the ground and playing with the little turtle.
