Dinner was delicious. Tuoba Rouyun's hand-cut beef was incredibly tasty, and paired with various hot pot ingredients, Jiang Chu and the others ate until they were stuffed.

However, after the meal, Jiang Chu asked Tuoba Rouyun to go back to her room to exercise.

"This kid is old enough to be the head of your own household!" Lin Han joked.

Tuoba Rouyun smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it."

Looking at Tuoba Rouyun, Lin Han hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

Some things cannot be said, even if they are closer than sisters.

However, Lin Han overlooked Tuoba Rouyun's emotional intelligence.

"Hanhan, I won't make things difficult for you. My feelings for Xiaochu are like a sister's feelings for her brother, and Xiaochu himself is well aware of this."

“Actually, there are too many girls of marriageable age in China, and too many boys…” Lin Han, who always emphasized gender equality, couldn’t help but speak up.

“Then I also hope that my man can be stronger than me and can protect me, instead of me protecting him,” Tuoba Rouyun said stubbornly.

"Fine, I can't argue with you." Lin Han smiled leisurely, but he already knew what was going on.

It's indeed too hasty now, because Jiang Chu hasn't matured yet.

But given time, who knows how much Jiang Chu will grow in two or three years?

...

The next morning, Jiang Chu saw Tuoba Rouyun by chance while jogging.

The two of them spontaneously ran together.

"Sister Rou Rou, how is Bai Gu doing?" Jiang Chu asked.

Although he kept saying that he would focus on his training these days and not get distracted by anything else, Jiang Chu couldn't do it and would ask about Bai Gu's condition every day.

The surgery on the skeleton lasted for two full days.

With the assistance of a group of senior assistants, the physicians extracted different cells from various parts of the skeleton for classification and further analysis of the skeleton's synthetic structure.

“The embryo has been regenerated,” Tuoba Rouyun said. “You will be able to meet Bai Gu within a month at the latest.”

"Is it a human, or... a dog?" Jiang Chu asked.

"Then what do you hope for?" Tuoba Rouyun asked with a smile.

"I..." Jiang Chu scratched his head and chuckled, "I still hope it's a human, because humans have relatively higher intelligence, and it would be more convenient to fight together in the future."

Tuoba Rouyun nodded: "If you like military dogs, I can help you pick one out. With your rank, you're definitely qualified to have a decent military dog."

However, don't expect this military dog ​​to have high combat capabilities, because no matter how strong it is, it's still not as good as a human.

“Yes, I understand,” Jiang Chu said. “Then let’s not. Raising a dog is actually quite difficult. If a dog dies of old age or illness after being raised for too many years, I will be sad.”

Tuoba Rouyun also deeply agreed.

Actually, both of them had dogs at home before. Although they were well cared for, they all eventually died of old age, which was sad.

Moreover, in this cruel world, the higher the rank of a warrior, the less they want to have too many entanglements, as this would hinder their growth.

“Xiao Chu,” Tuoba Rouyun suddenly said.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Jiang Chu said.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The Rookie King Tournament is just an ordinary competition and doesn't have any real combat effect," Tuoba Rouyun said.

"Hehe, but the rewards are plentiful!" Jiang Chu licked his lips, revealing a hint of greed.

"You little devil, all you know is rewards!" Tuoba Rouyun pinched Jiang Chu's cheek and scolded, "It's enough that you tried your best. Sometimes, trying your best isn't necessarily about pursuing the result."

Jiang Chu and Tuoba Rouyun locked eyes, seemingly sensing something unusual in each other's words.

However, Jiang Chu didn't dare to ask any more questions.

In these turbulent times, Jiang Chu didn't want to talk about personal feelings. Right now, he only hoped to break through the third layer of the gene lock himself, and at the same time, enable more people in the team to break through the third layer.

...

The following afternoon at 2 PM, Jiang Chu led his team to the Virtual Combat Flagship Hall.

This is not a training base for any class, but it will serve as a competition venue during the Rookie King competition.

Senior students were not allowed to participate in this year's Rookie of the Year competition, but that did not dampen their enthusiasm for watching. Luo Xiaonan, Ouyang Nan, and many other senior students came here to cheer on their juniors.

When the Brotherhood of Brothers and the First Class appeared in the lobby, cheers erupted everywhere.

"Go Jiang Chu!" Luo Xiaonan shouted from the side.

This was the first time in her life that she had truly watched Jiang Chu's official match.

That's right, this competition is of a very high standard.

Although the vast majority of the competitions are held online, the rewards have reached the highest level that the organizers can offer.

The winning team in this competition will receive incredible resource rewards.

Therefore, everyone is really looking forward to this competition.

Jiang Chu spotted Luo Xiaonan cheering him on in the crowd and nodded slightly to her.

The gap between the two is gradually narrowing, and perhaps one day in the future, this gap will no longer exist.

On that day, Jiang Chu and Luo Xiaonan will truly fight side by side.

Even in the near future, their comrades will become stronger, and at that time, they will enter more dangerous wilderness areas, and even enter underground palaces.

He could even confront the shut-in guy that Jiang Chu and others talked about.

...

"Good luck, bro! Keep it up!"

"You too, keep it up, brothers!"
