The entire crowd was completely silent; not a single person was talking loudly. Compared to the usual market opening scenes, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Everyone was afraid that if they made a mistake, they might anger Yan Xin and his gang, and end up like the people from Pan Shi. If that happened, they would be left with no one to turn to for help.
A sense of awe permeated the air, weighing heavily on everyone's heart...
Si Sheng, Jin Xiao, Lin Shuang, Hu Jiao, and others, along with the members of the Starlight Base, lined up orderly to enter the 'Flame Heart' market.
As soon as they stepped into the trading area, their eyes involuntarily darted around, as if searching for some figure, their eyes filled with obvious anticipation.
However, when they saw the situation in the checkout area, a hint of disappointment flashed across the faces of all four of them...
In the settlement area, only Chi Yi, Sang Che, and Sang Yan remained.
Chi Yi stood in the shadows of a corner, arms crossed, like a silent and reliable stone statue, his eyes scanning the settlement area and every corner around it.
Sang Yan sat behind the settlement counter, her expression focused, meticulously checking the number of crystal cores collected.
Meanwhile, Sang Che was at a table to the side, sorting out a list of supplies that needed to be replenished or had already been traded that day. Every now and then, he would look up and whisper a few words to Sang Yan to confirm something.
As for Lu Nange, Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, Gu Qi, He Zhuo, Shi Xu, and others... they have long since disappeared without a trace.
Si Sheng's gaze swept around the market again and again before finally turning away sadly.
Jin Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Asheng, there's still a chance. At least we didn't kill you today, and you even helped us!"
Si Sheng glanced at him, his back teeth clenching...
Lin Shuang and Hu Jiao exchanged a glance, both unable to hide their disappointment. They had originally hoped to see Lu Nange again today.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Lu family villa at the Flameheart Base, a scene of jubilation unfolded.
Not long ago, Lu Beiye had already notified his older sister, Gu Wan, Luo Xingyou, and Ji Xian via walkie-talkie that they had all successfully advanced and had come out of the room!
When Lu Nange and her group returned home from the market, Lu Beiye, who had heard the commotion, picked up Zhizhi and, together with Gu Wan and the others, excitedly came to greet them.
"Nan Nan!" Gu Wan was the first to rush up and hug Lu Nange tightly, her voice filled with excitement and a choked sob of relief.
"Sisters, I reached level 5! Waaaaah... I finally did it! I'll never hold you back again! I can fight alongside you now!"
Lu Nange: "When has Sister Wanwan ever held us back? We've always fought side by side. Sister Wanwan has always been incredibly strong! Terrifyingly strong!"
Gu Wan chuckled: "That's right... I'm terrifyingly strong!"
Luo Xingyou stepped forward, her face beaming with a bright smile: "Nannan, Sister Wenqing, I've also broken through to level five!"
Ji Xian nodded in agreement: "Me too."
"Great!" He Zhuo cheered and patted Ji Xian's shoulder hard: "Congratulations! Now our team is even stronger!"
Then let's go to Panshi tomorrow, wouldn't that be another sure win? Haha!
Gu Wan was burying her face in Lu Nange's shoulder and rubbing against him affectionately, like a spoiled kitten.
Upon hearing the word "rock," she abruptly raised her head, her eyes widening instantly and sparkling with excitement.
