Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan left the camp, but after walking only a few hundred meters, Ning Yanlan stepped on Jiang Yuan's foot and said, "You stinky Jiang Yuan, does it feel good to touch me!"
Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and as he withdrew his hand, he said weakly, "No, I don't feel comfortable!"
"Not feeling well?" Ning Yanlan kicked again.
Jiang Yuan's expression changed, and he immediately corrected himself: "Comfortable!"
"Huh? You still dare to say it's comfortable?" Ning Yanlan glared at Jiang Yuan with her hands on her hips.
"Big sister! Isn't there a standard answer?" Jiang Yuan was on the verge of tears. This is a typical subjective question. Can't you give me some objective questions?
"What do you think?" Ning Yanlan withdrew her foot.
"Ahem!" Jiang Yuan looked up at the Golden Gate, then said seriously, "While it's still early, let's go hunt monsters near the mall we went to last time!"
"Here, fill your stomach first!" Ning Yanlan took out a pile of food from her storage ring. "Your stomach was growling but you didn't ask me for food!"
"Sigh, life is so hard without beef balls!" Although Jiang Yuan could suppress his hunger, he couldn't control the negative effects of hunger.
"It's alright, if we kill more monsters, we might be able to get some pills to replenish our stamina!" Ning Yanlan comforted him as she tore open the bread packaging for him.
"But my appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and I feel like even the first-level beef balls aren't enough!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
The Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique still follows the law of conservation of energy. Without spiritual awakening, it cannot provide physical strength for combat, but the rate of stamina consumption still increases exponentially. In the past, the first level of the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique was enough to make him half-starved, and now the second level is quite uncomfortable. Now that he thinks about it, it was really a wise move not to break through to the third level, otherwise just providing combat energy would be a problem.
"Eat more, eat more!" Ning Yanlan kept unpacking the food, stuffing Jiang Yuan's mouth full like a girl who dotes on her boyfriend.
"Should we go deal with that bastard He Fu now, or tonight?"
"It must be at night! A dark night for murder, a windy night for arson! How could you be so stupid!"
"Staying up all night to commit murder! Ouch!" Jiang Yuan gasped. "Why does this feel like it's comparable to me staying up all night writing a thesis?"
"Jiang Yuan, you idiot, food can't shut you up!" Ning Yanlan laughed heartily, as if being with this guy could make her forget her unhappiness.
“I’m an expert at gagging!” Jiang Yuan said meaningfully.
"I'll hit you!" Ning Yanlan threatened. She didn't understand what he meant. This guy had just roughly gagged her before.
"Thank you for your help these past few days. Once I successfully awaken my spirit, it will be my turn to protect you!" Jiang Yuan was in high spirits. His spirit awakening progress had reached 845, and success was just around the corner.
"Just don't bully me, that's all some people's quirks!" Ning Yanlan said with a laugh.
Jiang Yuan was speechless. How could you say that I, a righteous person, was bullying you? This is no joke!
The two walked along, each lost in their own thoughts. Jiang Yuan was thinking about how to accelerate the awakening process, while Ning Yanlan was thinking about handing the USB drive over to the warlord in exchange for her friend's freedom.
Upon arriving at the mall, the two resumed their battle. Their cooperation during this period had given them an extremely high level of teamwork. Although Jiang Yuan was facing numerous monsters in front of him, he never strayed too far from Ning Yanlan. This environment was full of uncertainties, and in case of any unexpected situation, Jiang Yuan could react immediately and protect Ning Yanlan.
There are a great many monsters. Insignificant creatures such as insects and cockroaches have been awakened into threatening monsters. However, these creatures have poor talent and remain at a low level even after successful awakening. The two of them can kill them without any effort.
But no matter how weak a group is, there are always a few exceptions, just like the rat-like monsters in front of Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan.
"Holy crap, this must be the cat-eating rat from Black Cat Detective!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed, staring at the two-meter-long giant rat in front of him.
"Junkrat, a Tier 3 Lord monster, with the talent: Bite."
"Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan's body trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan turned around and looked at Ning Yanlan. After seeing her condition, he asked in confusion, "Nothing's wrong. It's just a third-tier monster. Why are you shaking?"
Ning Yanlan swallowed unconsciously out of fear, "I've been afraid of mice since I was little, I..."
Ning Yanlan didn't say what came next, but Jiang Yuan already knew. Ning Yanlan was genuinely afraid, just like the psychological trauma left by a childhood shadow. No matter what you do when you grow up, you will still be afraid when you see the culprit that caused the shadow.
"Yanlan, leave the Mad Rat to me, just don't look at it!" Jiang Yuan comforted her.
"Don't you think I'm being pretentious?" Ning Yanlan took a deep breath before speaking.
"Haha!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, "Everyone has fear, but it's normal to back down the first time. But I believe you'll be able to face your fears next time!"
