"A sword-like beak?" Li Qianxia reached out and picked up a bird's beak. "What's the use of something so small?"

Yang Qinglan picked up the other one, and the dark black bird's beak in her hand grew bigger and longer like a seed sprouting. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to about a meter long and turned into a sword.

The sword is slender and dark black, except for the section illuminated by sunlight, which shines with a dazzling emerald light.

"Big, big, yours is so big!" Li Qianxia exclaimed excitedly, then asked in confusion, "Why can't mine be the same?"

"Let your brother try it," Yang Qinglan said casually, her gaze still appreciating the jade sword in her hand.

Leaving aside its sharpness and sturdiness, the jade-like luster alone is enough to captivate and enchant countless people. The fact that she could only show an expression of appreciation speaks volumes about her indifference... and her wealth.

"Give it to my brother?" Li Qianxia glanced at the bird's beak in her hand, then at Li Changzhou, and handed him the sword beak with some skepticism.

She didn't look at the hummingbird's identification card, and neither did Yang Qinglan, but they guessed from the hummingbirds' pairings that the sword-beaks might indicate male and female.

Li Changzhou reached out and took it. As expected, the bird's beak grew larger and longer in his hand, turning into a sword.

It's a bit longer than Yang Qinglan's; her sword has a blade length of 70 centimeters and a handle length of 12 centimeters, while Li Changzhou's sword has a blade length of about 75 centimeters and a handle length of 15 centimeters.

The blades are all the same, very slender;

The color is also different; it is black in the dark and emerald green in the sunlight.

"Why?!" Li Qianxia protested, taking the sword back, which then shrank again in the blink of an eye.

"That's useless to you." Yang Qinglan handed her the sword he was holding.

This time it worked, and Li Qianxia got the enlarged sword as she wished.

"Drink! Behold my celestial maiden sword dance!" She brandished her slender sword like a spear.

The sword light was as green as the sea, and when the tip of the sword touched the rock wall, it was like a hot knife cutting through butter, gliding past in an instant.

For a moment, all three of them felt a little suffocated.

“...Starting today, I will no longer practice boxing!” Li Changzhou announced immediately.

Yang Qinglan glanced at him sideways, meaning: "You're useless." But she also found it amusing; this person was always so frivolous.

"Weapons exist for a reason. What about the Mighty Bull Fist, or the Bull Horn Spiral Force you've painstakingly trained? With one sword strike, I'll cleave between your index and middle fingers and split your entire arm in two!"

Li Changzhou became a weapon fanatic, lacking any of the lofty belief in "one punch is invincible" held by masters in various works.

Li Qianxia swung her sword a few more times, using her physique and strength to leave several holes in the rock wall.

She also loved it, but after thinking about it, she decided to give the sword to Yang Qinglan.

"Qinglan, you can use it!"

Don't you want it?

"I have a blood-sucking gun, and I can use my brother as a blood bank in critical moments. A sword is just sharp, but it can't compare to my little gun."

"Is that really so?" A faint smile appeared on Yang Qinglan's lips, revealing her reluctance. "I don't need weapons."

"Ugh!" Li Qianxia was annoyed. "If I use a sword, all that spear training I've done will have been for nothing! Today I finally understand what it means to be afraid of marrying the wrong man. Qinglan, let me tell you, you need to be much more discerning when choosing a man in the future..."

"cough."

“Oh, my brother doesn’t need it. I’ve been testing him for you for twenty years. Apart from being a little stubborn sometimes, he’s great.”

"It's hard to believe what someone with the twin talent would say." Yang Qinglan leisurely took the bird's beak, liking it more and more as she looked at it.

More like a treasure than a sword.

"Qinglan, think about why I have the Gemini talent? Isn't it because he's a good person? If he were to give me the silent treatment, would I like him? No, don't you think I'm right?"

"Yes, it's very sincere, but too subjective."

The emerald sword transformed back into its beak, and Yang Qinglan swept her hair back up, then inserted the beak into the sword as if it were a hairpin.

Compared to her cool and aloof demeanor when her hair was long and flowing, she now appears elegant and refined, with a touch of aristocratic charm.

"So beautiful!" Li Qianxia exclaimed. Even women would be attracted to Yang Qinglan's beauty.

"Should we name the baby?" Li Changzhou was still gesturing with his sword beak.

"The Emerald Bee Sword, 'emerald' as in 'emerald green,' and 'bee' as in 'hummingbird.'" Yang Qinglan made the final decision, not allowing him to waste any more time on this.

After putting away the Emerald Bee Sword, Li Changzhou studied the skills on the identity card.

He was interested in three skills: "High-Speed ​​Movement," "Aerial Flight," and "Thunder Roar," but the Black Mist could only transfer these skills to the White Card, and the six skill slots on the White Card were already full.

"Focus", "Dopamine Control", "Photo Transmission", "Healing", "Earth Trekking", "Flame Wave" - ​​there's not one I want to give up.

"I wonder if there are any players who are inherently greedy to the point of being inhumane, and who have awakened the instinct for 'infinite skill slots'," he sighed.

"If that's really the case, it's questionable whether we can even defeat them," Li Qianxia said, not very optimistic.

Yang Qinglan said to the conflicted Li Changzhou, "Let's wait. After the game ends, many skills can be exchanged for game currency."

Is the word "嫖" (prostitute) considered a swear word?

"It's best not to say it."

"Why should I pay when I can dine and dash? I can't bear to use game currency." Li Changzhou sighed and put away his identity card.

He carried a small box with him, just the right size to hold his ID card (probably designed for an ID card or transportation card), which he fastened to his waist like a Poké Ball in Pokémon. It was very secure, did not affect his movement, and was not visible from the outside.

"What do we do next?" Li Qianxia asked.

"Let's observe the situation first." Yang Qinglan looked out of the cave.

The moment her gaze fell upon the smooth cliff face opposite, a sudden chill swept over her, her senses stung her skin, and her intuition screamed wildly in her ears.
