“When faced with repentance, one must tell the truth, but the truth cannot be entirely believed. For example, saying that you like Li Changzhou the most is also true,” Yang Qinglan said.

"Sigh." Li Qianxia sighed, "Is this what second-stage players are like? It's too dangerous, even S-rank players have appeared."

Li Changzhou said, "Our mission is of the highest level, so it's not surprising that we encountered her. We'll just kill her later."

"I want her instincts!"

“Qianxia,” Yang Qinglan said, trying to be as tactful as possible, “your charm is 8 points, and mine is 9 points.”

"Hmm—" Li Qianxia made an angry sound.

"I don't think this skill is anything special," Li Changzhou said casually.

Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Changzhou asked, frowning.

"I knew it!" Li Qianxia said smugly.

"I knew it long ago," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.

......Um?

“I told Qinglan,” Li Qianxia explained, “that once my brother found out that the favored concubine skill could bewitch people, he would definitely not give it to the two of us.”

"When did you say that? How come I didn't know?"

"This is an unspoken understanding between girls. What do you, a stinky man, know?"

"......"

The little radish sniffed and muttered, "It's alright, it smells pretty good."

“Let me smell it too.” Li Qianxia also came over.

"Hmm—" This time it was an affirmative sound, and she even nodded.

"Be serious." Li Changzhou pushed her away. "Think carefully about how to deal with her."

"I can't help it," Li Qianxia replied quickly, without even thinking.

Yang Qinglan pondered for a moment and said, "We actually have the advantage over her, but we lack the key to victory."

“Visualization method,” Li Changzhou said. “That woman said that Master Huang’s ‘Thunderclap Picture’ has no combat method at all.”

The Spring Emperor condensed the clouds and mist into a shawl, which could not only be used to ride the clouds and mist, but also for defense, and even to resist auditory and visual hallucinations. It was far more profound than the brute force of "hearing thunder in silence" in the "Thunderous Painting".

Simply put, it's like one person has magical powers but still uses them to enhance their physical body, while another person has already used their magical powers to cast spells.

It's comparable to using a Nokia to crack walnuts versus using a Nokia to browse the internet.

"Why would Master Huang lie to us?" Li Qianxia asked, puzzled.

“Perhaps he wasn’t lying to us; he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who could so casually deceive all the players,” Li Changzhou said.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I guess he probably knew that there were combat techniques in the visualization diagram, but the sect didn't teach him, so he figured out a move on his own and thought it was a combat technique."

Li Qianxia nodded after listening, thinking that this was a possibility.

I wonder if Master Huang will be so ashamed that he'll move to the moon once all players know the truth about the Thunder Diagram combat method?

Rather than that, it's more accurate to say that they deliberately created a fake combat method to swindle money, which is more respectable and makes them seem more cunning.

"By the way, should we change our skills? Qinglan, learn the Wooden Dummy Technique, and you, brother, learn the Tornado Transformation?" Li Qianxia asked.

“Manipulating the wooden dummy requires a lot of energy, and I need to pay attention to the battlefield at all times.” Yang Qinglan had already thought it through carefully during the day and rejected her suggestion.

“I don’t need to,” Li Changzhou said. “What would I do if I turned into a tornado?”

Aside from some practical and flashy skills (like Blood Orbs and Teleportation), he's only interested in visualization diagrams now.

Just as described in the description of physical enhancement, he is full of confidence in his body and prefers physical combat, which is due to his personal character, preferences, and even values.

"Do you really still want to go?" Little Radish's voice was full of resistance.

The butterfly's speed suddenly slowed down; it was almost there.

Li Qianxia's eyes lit up: "Brother, how about giving the Wooden Dummy Technique to Little Carrot? Let her support us from a safe place?"

“I don’t care, but can she handle it?” Li Changzhou expressed his doubt.

The black mist's ability to grant skills also has side effects: either one must completely submit to Li Changzhou, like Aferona and the others, or one must completely trust him, like Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia.

Given Little Radish's aversion to danger, he is absolutely unwilling to face the black fog.

"Easy!" Li Qianxia snapped her fingers.

She picked up Little Radish, placed her between her crossed legs, pointed at Li Changzhou, and said to her, "Call me Daddy."

"???" Li Changzhou almost fell off the butterfly. "There's a... butterfly for this!"

"Ooh~"

"I didn't call you."

Ignoring everything else, Li Qianxia continued to tell the little radish, "Call me Daddy."

"Dad?" Little Radish looked puzzled.

Li Changzhou: "......"

"Is it safe?" Li Qianxia asked Xiao Luobo.

Little Radish shook his head in even greater confusion.

Li Qianxia then pointed at Yang Qinglan, who was watching the play, and said to Little Radish, "Call her mother."

"Mother."

Yang Qinglan: "......"

"Wow!" Little Radish's eyes lit up instantly. "So safe, so safe! It's just as safe as being on a train! What's going on, Qianxia?"

"It's a secret." Li Qianxia smiled mischievously.

Li Changzhou swayed slightly, and Yang Qinglan glared at him angrily.

"Cough!" He clenched his fist, pressed it against his lips, and coughed lightly.

Yang Qinglan looked away, and the night breeze that brushed her face suddenly felt much cooler—her face was hot.

Little Radish handed over his identity card without any sense of crisis, and accepted the Wooden Dummy Technique with only a slight feeling of disgust.
