Lu Chengchuan and Qian Xiaoling were strolling on the bustling street.
It was really uncomfortable to be stuck in the office every day, so Lu Chengchuan went out for a walk with her. He came here quite a lot and really had no time to go out and play.
"What's there to do here?"
Donghai City is a major international city, but Lu Chengchuan really doesn't know much about it.
"I don't know either. I heard there's a theme park here, which is very popular, but it's hard to buy tickets because of the crowds." Looking at the crowded streets, Qian Xiaoling was scratching her head.
She also traveled a lot in Guangnan Province and was not familiar with other places.
"Let's walk forward first. We finally got out here, so let's walk more."
Qian Xiaoling dragged him around everywhere, from morning to afternoon, and they didn't know where they were going. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Qian Xiaoling took out his cell phone to look for a restaurant.
The two of them had a meal outside and returned to the investigation bureau after dark.
In the next two days, Qian Xiaoling went out whenever she had the chance. Lu Chengchuan didn't want to be outside all day, so he said he wanted to practice and let her go and play by herself.
By the last day, Qian Xiaoling finally felt at ease staying in the Investigation Bureau.
We are going back tomorrow, and Qian Xiaoling is not the only one who is happy.
On the contrary, He Yan and Lu Chengchuan had to go back, and if they encountered powerful monsters in the future, they would have to face them on their own, which put a lot of pressure on him.
No matter what they thought, the sun would rise as usual the next day.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after saying goodbye to He Yan and others, they boarded the exclusive return plane on time.
At around one o'clock, the plane landed at the military base airport. After three months, they returned to Guangnan Province.
"Finally I'm back. It's still the best here."
Qian Xiaoling and the others were very happy to return to their own territory, and Lu Chengchuan also smiled.
It is winter now, but it doesn't snow in Quang Nam Province.
"Don't think you don't have to do anything just because you're back. There's a group of special monsters haunting Anyang City. Some of these monsters have a crystal in their bodies that's said to be able to enhance the mental strength of people with special abilities, and it has no side effects.
The director asked us to conduct an in-depth investigation. Please wait for the director to inform you of the detailed tasks."
While still on the plane, the director sent her a document stating that they were not coming back for a vacation or to enjoy life, but to have one problem after another waiting for them to solve.
"We're going back?"
"Well, go back and rest for a few hours. I'll let you know when we're ready to leave."
After landing, they drove a car to Minghua City and returned to the Investigation Bureau about an hour later.
"Come with me, the director has something for you."
Lu Chengchuan played a key role during this period. They are partners, so the Investigation Bureau naturally would not let him just work without getting any benefits.
Lu Chengchuan nodded, probably finding some more martial arts for him.
Unfortunately, he only has about twenty years to live, so his martial arts skills won't improve much. But he decided to keep it for now and complete the improvement all at once when he has enough life.
In the director's office, Zhang Chengyan was waiting for them to come in. After the knock on the door, Zhang Chengyan stood up and opened the door himself. Seeing Lu Chengchuan standing outside, he smiled.
More than two months ago, Zhang Chengyan watched the video sent back by Zhou Yaning.
The video shows the fierce battle between Lu Chengchuan and the monster. If Zhou Yaning had not personally guaranteed it, he would not believe that the person in the video was Lu Chengchuan.
He knew that Lu Chengchuan was very strong, but his performance in the video was really too strong.
After watching the video, Zhang Chengyan was determined to make friends with Lu Chengchuan. His personal combat effectiveness would continue to soar in the future, and such a strong man could only be befriended.
"Director Zhang, long time no see."
After not seeing each other for a few months, Zhang Chengyan looked a little tired, and I don’t know what was bothering him.
"I've heard a lot of things. Mr. Lu is really getting more and more powerful."
As they were talking, Zhang Chengyan took Lu Chengchuan to his desk and handed him the two blue books on the desk.
"These are two martial arts books I just found. They are said to be from a martial arts family. They are very advanced. I don't understand them. Mr. Lu, please take a look at them yourself."
"Thank you very much."
Taking two martial arts books, Lu Chengchuan walked aside and sat down to take a look.
He wanted to see the martial arts, and Zhang Chengyan also wanted to explain the next task to Zhou Yaning, so neither side was delayed.
"...Go as far as you can, the research institute needs samples..."
[I've detected a Xuan-level martial art (Shapeshifting). Do you want to learn it? Learning requires 30 days of lifespan.]
[I've sensed an Earth-level martial art (Earth Escape Technique). Do you want to learn it? Learning it requires 2 years of lifespan.]
As they were talking, Lu Chengchuan also finished reading two martial arts books, one Xuan-level and one Di-level. They were indeed high-level stuff, so Lu Chengchuan immediately chose to learn them.
More than two years of life were deducted, and two more martial arts books were added to the martial arts column.
This was a martial art of physical movement, with three levels. Once mastered, one could change positions swiftly, making it difficult for ordinary people to track them.
The underground escape method, this martial art is somewhat peculiar. After mastering it, one can escape into the ground instantly. When one reaches the perfect level, one can escape hundreds of meters underground and can move quickly underground.
I got two more martial arts, but unfortunately my lifespan still didn't increase.
He finished reading the book, and Zhou Yaning was almost done too. After the conversation, they went out to rest.
After resting for about two hours, everyone set off in an off-road vehicle. The two cities were nearly three hundred kilometers apart, and it would take several more hours of driving.
This mission was to go deep into the city and search for a mineral called blood beads. They formed in blood-colored mucus and moved along the mucus veins.
A month ago, skinless humanoid monsters emerged from the slime and gathered at the edge of the city. When the army discovered them, they immediately planned to go in and encircle the monsters to eliminate the hidden danger directly.
While encircling the monster, the soldiers saw a few blood beads, but before they could take any action, the blood beads drilled into the mucus and escaped.
After suffering a certain amount of casualties, the army eliminated most of the monsters and obtained crystals from some of them. Now they set out to find blood beads for the research institute.
"Were you this busy before?"
With this kind of work intensity, Lu Chengchuan suspected that they had no time to rest at all.
He is at a high level, strong, and has a spirit far beyond that of ordinary people, so he dares to work so hard. Before he had superpowers, did Zhou Yaning and others also work at this intensity?
"Others think we are very impressive, but we have fought hard to get to where we are today."
Zhou Yaning rubbed her temples. She felt much better now. After becoming a superpower, their energy was much stronger than before. Especially Zhou Yaning. After the upgrade, her energy was even stronger, allowing her to handle more things.
Thinking back to the past, the other people also had complicated expressions.
After driving for three hours, they returned to Anyang City.
A bloody city appeared before everyone's eyes. After many months, they returned.
"Be careful, this mucus will corrode living things. Wear protective clothing before going in."
Except for the monsters born in the bloody mucus, all other living things that enter it will be devoured. However, after research, they found a material that can resist the erosion of the mucus.
