"Um, Sister Yao, didn't we say we'd meet again next time?" Li Qianxia looked at Yaochi in front of her.

Yaochi wasn't embarrassed at all. She stood up on the opposite side and said, "I forgot that the starting point was your courtyard."

She looked around the yard, then looked up at the apricot tree that resembled an umbrella.

It's November, and the apricot trees are gradually turning golden yellow.

Under such an apricot tree, her white hair was gently blown by the wind, reminding people of scenes from martial arts movies from their childhood.

"It's a nice place. Should I buy a courtyard house here too?" Yaochi turned her gaze away and said to the three of them.

"The courtyards here are quite expensive," Li Qianxia said, wrinkling her cute little nose.

Yaochi smiled.

Li Qianxia understood that smile very well. Whenever she watched a TV series with her older brother and he said that the actor was more handsome than her, her brother would show that smile.

Those rich and handsome guys are despicable!

The "handsome guy" here refers to an older brother who is too handsome.

"Okay!" Since Yaochi had money, Li Qianxia stopped hesitating. "I'll take you shopping later!"

"Yes, I'll come and stay for a couple of days when I have time, and we can go on the ship together."

"Going again? No, no!" Li Qianxia shook her head again.

"I had the same thoughts as you after my first time participating in the ship game, but half a month later, I went in with you again—are you planning to use B-level or A-level visualization techniques to enter the next stage?"

Li Qianxia looked at her brother and Yang Qinglan. She didn't care about anything, she just obeyed orders and was very obedient (Li Changzhou thought she was just lying around enjoying herself).

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan had to admit that Yaochi's words made sense.

Just like the initial stages of 'strength', 'physique', 'agility', and 'perception', you have to reach 'full value' to break through the limit.

Going further back, their initial behavior of continuously taking buses to enter dungeons and seize the "market" is essentially the same as having to learn advanced visualization techniques—to gain an early advantage.

"Let's focus on improving our skills in the subway for now," Yang Qinglan replied to Yaochi, but her gaze was fixed on Li Changzhou for confirmation.

"Okay." Li Changzhou nodded.

Having three uses of the Imperial Mech guarantees at least basic safety in the subway, where the game difficulty is matched to your strength.

Li Qianxia punched her right fist into her left palm: "In game terms, it means to develop first, last-hit minions and jungle monsters, and upgrade your level and equipment!"

No one needs her superfluous explanation.

"Okay, let's exchange contact information."

After Yaochi left, the three of them finally relaxed completely.

Li Changzhou took out the Snow Mountain Water Bottle, but before he could pour himself some water, Yang Qinglan pointed her delicate white finger at the cup in front of him.

"..." Li Changzhou poured her water.

Li Qianxia took out her phone to check the latest news and messages—it's only been one night, what could possibly happen...?

"murderer?"

Yang Qinglan looked at her, and water was poured into the cup, making a splashing sound.

“In the WeChat group that Zheng Qing added us to, she said that a murderer has recently appeared in Mingcheng.”

Li Qianxia explained, then swiped down to view the previous chat history.

Since it was only a matter of one night, she quickly finished reading all the messages.

"The suspect is a girl who came from out of town to work. She killed her fellow villager, robbed her of her money, and also killed her fellow villager's boyfriend... The photos are disgusting. Why would they post something like this in a group chat!"

"Are you a player?" Yang Qinglan asked.

“Yes, Zheng Qing also asked everyone to inform the Special Operations Bureau if they see this.” Li Qianxia said, suddenly shoving the photo into Li Changzhou’s eyes.

"What are you doing?" Li Changzhou wasn't frightened by the photo, but by her actions.

"Don't let me be the only one disgusted! Qinglan, don't hide either!"

"I'll drink water." Yang Qinglan picked up her cup.

"It's not like we're eating, what's wrong with looking at disgusting pictures! You're not a child anymore, look at one!" Li Qianxia pressed down on Yang Qinglan's hand holding the cup, and pressed her phone against her face like a stamp.

"No." Yang Qinglan turned her face away.

"No means yes!"

"Stop fooling around!"

"Who's messing around with you? I'm serious!"

Listening to their voices, Li Changzhou lay in the rocking chair, gazing at the apricot tree overhead and the autumn sky through the gaps in its leaves.

Whether it's taking the subway back to the past or traveling by ship to another world, how to reunite with Yang Qinglan remains a question.

We cannot ignore this crucial matter just because we were lucky enough to meet the Sky World in 1928.

What methods are available... what skills are needed...?

Li Changzhou remained deep in thought.

After thinking for a while, he remembered that he needed to borrow the "Thunderclap Diagram" from Master Huang so that he could continue practicing this visualization method. At the same time, he could ask them how the senior citizens' group had gathered in the past.

winter!

The sound of footsteps falling on the ground.

The three turned their heads and saw a girl wearing a white shirt and cargo pants.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her figure was not only slender, but so thin that it ruined the aesthetics of the human body. She was about 1.6 meters tall and had a decent appearance.

The girl who jumped down from the roof, the man sitting under the apricot tree, and the two beautiful girls writhing together looked at each other.

Li Qianxia widened her eyes and secretly poked Yang Qinglan's slender waist.

Yang Qinglan glanced at the picture in her hand; the murderer looked exactly like the girl in front of her.

She gave Li Changzhou a wink, meaning—it's back to you.

The way Yang Qinglan was giving orders as if it were her own business suddenly reminded Li Changzhou that Yang Qinglan was the captain of their squad.
