Qiu Jian shook his head, "I don't know."
"We'll check it out when we get back," Tu Ran put on the simulation glasses, "get ready and go in again."
She didn't believe she couldn't get through this.
With the preparation from the previous two times, the two easily reached the floor where the hostages were this time. Standing outside the wall, the two looked at each other and Tu Ran rushed in.
After firing two shots and killing the robber near the door, Tu Ran still rolled behind the pile of construction waste.
The two robbers at the window approached the scrap heap cautiously, shooting continuously, and various materials from the scrap heap splashed everywhere.
Taking advantage of this moment, Qiu Jian, who was hiding behind the wall, quietly stretched out a gun, aimed at them, fired two shots, and the two robbers fell to the ground.
[Mission successful, hostages rescued (scatter flowers) (scatter flowers)] [Go to the next level, or exit the simulation world?] Tu Ran chose to exit.
Two hours have passed.
This is only a C-level difficulty.
She died twice before she could complete the game.
"Let's go back to the office and check the hand signals."
"Um."
The two returned to the office and opened the door. Only Ye Qingcai was inside. He was leaning over the computer. When he saw the two people pushing the door open, he looked up and said, "You're back so soon? You can still practice for a while. There are no tasks for the time being. I'll notify you when there are tasks."
"No need, I found some problems and came back to check them." Tu Ran said and sat back at his workstation.
Qiu Jianze looked around the office and asked, "Where are the others?"
"Oh, them," Ye Qingcai couldn't help showing joy on his face, "They all went to training."
Qiu Jian looked strange.
"You can't believe it," Ye Qingcai rubbed his sore neck, "You two have inspired me to fight."
Qiu Jian glanced at Tu Ran and silently sat back at his workstation.
After checking the pioneer team's information about hand gestures and secret codes, Tu Ran knew that she was wrong.
When she first came to this world, before she inherited her original body's memories, she carefully read the books on her original body's bookshelf, but time was tight at the time and she didn't read many books.
Later, she regained the memories of her original body, and she did everything according to the memories of her original body, ignoring the books on the bookshelf.
She subconsciously believed that her original self was good enough and would not make mistakes.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
The original body was very goal-oriented. Everything she learned, mastered, and worked hard for were things she would need in the future. She ignored useless skills.
For example, because the pioneers fought alone and did not need hand gestures or secret codes, she did not listen carefully when the instructor taught her hand gestures or secret codes.
Reality reminded Tu Ran that she could not always rely on her original body's memory, and she should take the initiative to master some skills.
For two whole hours, Tu Ran was learning various hand gestures and codes. After she became familiar with and memorized the meanings of the various gestures, she found Qiu Jian and began to practice.
Qiu Jian was very patient. After the two of them practiced for an hour, Tu Ran had mastered it.
The few people who went out for training had returned one after another without knowing when.
"It's eight o'clock, let's get off work." Ye Qingcai said.
Tu Ran stood up. She only brought one person with her to work today, and there was nothing worth cleaning up. "See you tomorrow. I'm leaving."
After saying hello, Tu Ran left.
Looking at the closed door, Qi Tongda approached Qiu Jian and asked, "Have you two been training together this afternoon?"
Qiu Jian nodded silently.
"What did you train for?" Qi Tongda asked again.
Zhou Ming, who was packing up his things nearby, also pricked up his ears.
Qiu Jian frowned, unwilling to answer.
Qi Tongda nudged him with his elbow, "You're on her side so quickly? Don't forget that we're comrades who have been through thick and thin together for many years."
Qiu Jian walked around him and pushed the door open to leave.
Master Qi was furious: "Tsk, I don't even want to know."
After changing out of his combat uniform in the equipment room, Tu Ran took the suspended electric rail home.
Sitting back in the car, she sent a message to Ling: "How are the preparations for sending Xi Chunzhi away going?"
[Xi Chunzhi’s death report has been submitted to the Federal Personnel Department by the Medical Department] [Xi Chunzhi’s name has been written into the list of casualties of the pioneer team] [She died on the hospital bed in the Medical Department] [Someone from the Personnel Department will reclaim her housing tomorrow] [Now all we have to do is arrange for her to leave the Federal Center] "Can she go anywhere else except the Federal Center?" Tu Ran asked.
[You can’t go to Regaken State either. Except for the Federal Center and Regaken State, you can go to the other forty states] [The Federal Center and Regaken State have the power of almost all the chaebol families in the Federation] [Most of the super artificial intelligences except me are distributed in these two states] [The probability of being discovered is higher] "Got it."
After turning off the communicator, the suspended electric rail has arrived at Dawn Station.
After taking the elevator upstairs, Tu Ran knocked directly on Xi Chunzhi's door.
Soon footsteps were heard from the room, the doorknob was turned, and Xi Chunzhi opened the door.
She was wearing a nightgown, the oversized nightgown could not conceal her charm in the slightest, her hair was wavy, her lips were red as a babe, and her lively look was completely different from when she was lying on the hospital bed before.
She naturally opened her arms and smiled brightly, "Welcome home, Xiao Ranran, I made my specialty and I'm waiting for you."
Tu Ran hugged her, their necks touching, and his eyes noticed an opened bottle of wine on the shoe cabinet in the entrance.
My mood suddenly became bad.
"Have you been drinking again?" Tu Ran asked, walking around Xi Chunzhi and grabbing the wine on the cabinet. He shook it and only half of it was left.
Xi Chunzhi bit her tongue and closed the door reluctantly. Feeling the cold gaze behind her, she took a deep breath, turned around, put her arms around Tu Ran's neck and led her to the living room. With her other hand, she took the bottle of wine and pushed it back to its place.
"Don't worry, baby. I only took a small sip. I definitely won't exceed the maximum drinking limit you set for me."
Tu Ran didn't believe her.
But she called her Bao.
Being called treasure by a beautiful woman, Tu Ran's heart blossomed and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Xi Chunzhi noticed this keenly and immediately seized the opportunity, "Baby, sit down quickly and look at the dinner I carefully prepared for you. It's my specialty."
"I'll forgive you this time," Tu Ran pressed the corners of her lips, although it didn't have much deterrent power, "You haven't fully recovered yet, so you can't drink too much."
"I know, I know, baby, eat first. You must be hungry after being busy all afternoon." Xi Chunzhi also sat opposite her, looking at her eagerly, expecting her reaction after eating.
It feels so nice to have friends at home preparing dinner for you when you get off work.
Thinking back to the time when I could only cook a sloppy meal when I got home from get off work, it really is very different.
She had to cherish it. "Okay." Tu Ran smiled and lowered her head to prepare for dinner.
When she saw the dish of hodgepodge on the table, she paused with her chopsticks.
Various vegetables were put together in a mess. After being fried, they lost their original colors. There were some black unknown objects scattered on top, and underneath was a layer of obviously whitish and uncooked rice.
Tu Ran: ...I forgot that Xi Chunzhi is a kitchen killer.
She stole a glance at Xi Chunzhi, who was looking at her with a smile on her face.
"Let's... go out and eat." Tu Ran pretended to put down her chopsticks.
The smile on Xi Chunzhi's face froze instantly and he gave her a warning look.
Tu Ran didn't dare put down her chopsticks.
Just eat it. Anyway, she has the inner elixir of the Gu Diao, so everything she eats tastes delicious.
Tu Ran picked up a piece of half-cooked carrot and ate it with gusto.
Now this piece of radish tasted like chicken, duck, and fish on her taste buds.
Xi Chunzhi looked at her, smiled with satisfaction, picked up a spoon and started eating.
The reason why a spoon was used was because Xi Chunzhi only had a pair of chopsticks and a spoon at home.
She usually uses chopsticks, but when Tu Ran comes to her house for dinner, she gives the only pair of chopsticks to Tu Ran and uses a spoon.
She put the vegetables and rice on one plate and ate together so that they would have to wash one less bowl.
Unable to pick up the rice with chopsticks, Xi Chunzhi naturally handed the spoon to Tu Ran and took over Tu Ran's chopsticks.
"Can't you buy one more pair? They're not expensive," Tu Ran complained, "The money I spent on wine is enough to buy several pairs."
Xi Chunzhi snorted, "Fortunately I didn't buy it, otherwise I would have lost another fortune tomorrow."
Tu Ran paused while digging for food, "You know?"
Xi Chunzhi raised her eyelids. "You may have forgotten about the official website of the pioneer team? The confirmed dead pioneers will be posted there and reported to the whole network." She poked the carrot slices hard. "There haven't been many dead pioneers in recent days. If my name is posted there all the time, it may take several days for everyone to see it until the next one appears. My reputation as a sharpshooter will be ruined in an instant!"
Tu Ran sighed, "This is better than staying in the pioneer team."
"I just feel like I left nothing behind." Xi Chunzhi said dejectedly.
Tu Ran felt like she was in Versailles.
"Think about your long-range sniping record. Do you still feel like you have left nothing behind? Don't you always call yourself the nightmare of the sniping world and the king who can look down on all snipers? You've been lying in bed for a few days. Are you no longer a nightmare? No longer a king? Just relax. No one will forget you until your record is broken."
"That's true." Xi Chunzhi suddenly realized and became proud. He put down his chopsticks and said with a beaming face, "The strength of the Sniper King is here. I have conquered the white world. Now I am going to the black world to create a legend. Who knows, I might break my own record and become a god with one strike, shocking the entire federation."
As she spoke, she raised her arm. Tu Ran understood what she meant, put down the spoon, and clapped her hands tacitly.
"That's the right thing to think about. When you become the boss of the underworld, I will join you." Tu Ran took a few more mouthfuls of rice. She was really hungry.
“Hahahaha…” Xi Chunzhi’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t stop smiling when he thought of his bright future.
"I'm done."
Tu Ran put down the spoon and was about to get up and leave the table when Xi Chunzhi called her.
"Wait, I still have soup, I'll get it for you."
Soup? Tu Ran's mind flashed back to her original self's memory, a pot of pitch-black soup that tasted bitter, fishy, salty, and spicy.
He grabbed Xi Chunzhi's hand as he left, "No, I'm full. I'll drink next time, next time."
"No, we don't know when we'll meet again," Xi Chunzhi shook off her hand and insisted on going to the kitchen to bring out two servings of soup and put them on the table, "Come and try it."
Tu Ransheng sat back helplessly.
The smell is fishy.
"What kind of soup are you making? You know--" Your soup can poison people.
Xi Chunzhi glared at him coldly.
Tu Ran changed her words very smoothly, "——I just recovered from a serious illness, it's not suitable for me to overwork."
Xi Chunzhi thoughtfully handed her the spoon and said, "You drink first, and I'll drink the rest after you finish it."
Tu Ran could only scoop up the soup and drink it silently.
The moment it enters your mouth——
Shit! Spicy is not a taste! Tu Ran swallowed it with trembling hands and stopped moving. "How can you make a soup so spicy?"
"Is it spicy?" Xi Chunzhi took a sip doubtfully and swallowed it calmly. "It is indeed a bit spicy. Maybe there are too many chilies. You can't eat spicy food. Don't drink it."
Relieved Tu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sitting on Xi Chunzhi's sofa, Tu Ran turned her head and looked at Xi Chunzhi who was cleaning up the dishes. "Which state are you going to? You can go anywhere except the Federal Center and Regaken State."
Xi Chunzhi's voice came from the kitchen. "Tuya State is the farthest from the federal center. The power of the chaebols there is very weak. They are all on the run. The bounty hunters' headquarters is also there."
Tu Ran was a little worried. She leaned on the back of the sofa and watched her busy figure. "Will it be too messy and unsafe there?"
Xi Chunzhi had already rinsed the few dishes, washed his hands, and came out of the kitchen in slippers. "There is no absolutely safe place in the 42 states of the federation. The law of the jungle prevails in every state."
"At least Tuya State is not like the Federal Center, which is full of artificial intelligence eyes. To be honest, I hate these things the most. I have to shrink back and avoid them whenever I want to do anything. Every time my heart rate gets a little faster, I have to be reminded to control my emotions. I don't have a mechanical heart. It's not normal if it's too fast or too slow. It's too nosy." Xi Chunzhi sat back on the sofa heavily.
Tu Ran silently covered the communicator on her left wrist with her right hand.
Although I know this will not help.
"Don't worry, I chose Tuya State after careful consideration. I am confident in my ability. I will not have a bad time in Tuya State. Besides, don't I still have the inner elixir? Thanks to Tony Wells, I now have so many supernatural powers."
"It's a pity that none of these abilities are offensive." Tu Ran lamented.
She did have some for herself, but unfortunately she couldn't share it with others.
"After all, there are still only a few people with superpowers. The vast majority of people I have to face are ordinary people. These auxiliary superpowers are enough." Xi Chunzhi put his arm around her shoulders. "Just think about it. I don't need to eat or sleep to maintain my energy. I can do twice as much as an ordinary person. How can I not be very successful in Tuya State?"
"Haha, that makes sense. Roll them to death."
…
Xi Chunzhi left under the cover of night.
After saying goodbye to Tu Ran, she changed into a gray outfit, carried guns, explosives, and all the money Tu Ran gave her, and left the Federal Center.
From then on, there was no Xi Chunzhi in any of the 42 states of the federation.
Yes, it’s just a bounty hunter codenamed “Assassin” from Tuya State.
