Didn't sleep well last night?

It was the same tea restaurant. Yuan You looked at Shen Qian across the street with a suspicious expression.

She always felt that Shen Qian's mental state wasn't quite right, but this seemed rather unbelievable for a martial artist whose combat strength was close to that of a mountain and sea level warrior.

"Don't even mention it, let's finish eating and get going."

Shen Qian didn't want to discuss another problem with her, because she was also a problem for Shen Qian.

Shen Qian looked down on himself and wanted to be tough but couldn't. He couldn't move when he saw Huo Ling'er crying, and the two ended up talking on the rooftop all night.

Just a heart-to-heart talk.

I didn't do anything else.

The main problem was that he always felt like the big shot was watching him, which made Shen Qian very uncomfortable.

However, the final result was barely acceptable. The two made a deal that wasn't really an agreement: at least for the time being, Huo Ling'er would no longer bother Shen Qian.

"By the way, you went to the Martial Arts Association yesterday to pick up a mission, right? How did it go?"

Seeing that Shen Qian was not in much interest in talking, Yuan You did not press the matter further, but instead asked a question.

"See for yourself."

Too lazy to say much, Shen Qian tossed a package to Yuan You from beside his feet.

The package was half a meter long, large and heavy, but fortunately Yuan You herself was a martial artist with a certain level of cultivation, so she caught it without too much effort.

"This is... Holy crap!"

Yuan You was puzzled at first, but when she unzipped the package, her eyes widened instantly.

The package was crammed full of all sorts of quest scrolls.

At a glance, there are at least a hundred.

"How many bounty missions are there? Are you crazy?" Yuan You asked incredulously.

"Well, it's alright. There's only one nighttime bounty, which I found by searching through the history, otherwise it would have expired next month. There are nineteen twilight bounties, and the rest are daytime bounties... It's not difficult at all, just takes a bit of time."

Chen swallowed the fried dough stick in his mouth and said casually.

Yuan You felt a little dizzy listening to this.

Nineteen evening bounties, one night bounty!

You actually dared to accept that.

However, once Yuan You calmed down and remembered that the boy in front of her had almost single-handedly completed a monster bounty of one star in the night, she thought about it carefully and felt that it was nothing.

"I've found the car and the driver, but it looks like I'll need to hire another vehicle specifically for hauling gasoline."

Yuan You said helplessly, and while Shen Qian was still eating, she quickly took out her bracelet to make contact.

By the time the two of them had finished everything, it was already close to afternoon.

The ban outside the city has not actually been lifted, but Shen Qian understands that there is no danger anymore. He had specifically confirmed this with the big boss Gao this morning.

North of Jingcheng City.

Further ahead, there was only sand and dust.

Before sinking, he stopped the vehicle, peered out at the towering city wall behind him, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Everyone, take care."

Shen took out his bracelet and sent messages to everyone in his contact list one by one, then turned the bracelet off.

"Let's go."

Buzz!

The armored vehicle roared violently before disappearing into the sandstorm and quickly vanishing from sight.

...

late at night.

Jingcheng National Library.

In the silence, the patrolling administrator suddenly frowned, then took out his flashlight and walked to a corner behind a bookshelf.

"Hey, classmate... wake up!"

The administrator poked the figure curled up asleep in the corner a few times with a flashlight.

"Um?"

The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened them, mumbling, "Have you eaten?"

The administrator was about to reprimand him, but upon hearing this, he was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

"Student, we've already closed. Why are you still here?" the librarian asked in a gentle tone.

"Closed?"

Huo Ling'er finally came to her senses and subconsciously stood up, but the books piled on her body instantly scattered all over the floor.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Huo Ling'er hurriedly and frantically picked up the books.

The administrator saw the books on the ground clearly, but they weren't the romance novels he had imagined. Instead, they were all high school senior year study guides. He was taken aback for a moment, then quickly squatted down to help.

"Hey students, you should be on summer vacation by now, why are you still studying so hard?"

As the librarian picked up the books, he said earnestly, "I'm not trying to criticize you, but there's a limit to studying. If you keep doing this, you might ruin your health first. Those truly top students all study with a plan; that's how you achieve high efficiency..."

"Thank you, uncle!"

After putting all the books back in their place, Huo Ling'er thanked them, then couldn't help but ask, "So what exactly is their plan?"

"I...I want to be the top scorer in the exam, so..."

Seeing the surprised look from the administrator, Huo Ling'er whispered somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, I do have some notes left by others. If you really need them, come find me again tomorrow and I'll get them for you."

The administrator didn't laugh at Huo Ling'er, but thought for a moment and said...

"Thank you, uncle!"

Huo Ling'er thanked him happily, then hummed a song as she walked out of the library.

The administrator watched Huo Ling'er walk away, shaking his head in puzzlement.

He had really rarely seen a girl with this kind of temperament who also loved to study.

...

Another late night.

The Tower of Babel has 52 floors.

In the darkness and silence, a brilliant light suddenly shone, accompanied by an unrestrained, wild laugh filled with unbridled joy.

"Hahahaha, I finally fucking broke through!"
