"You really don't need us to go with you?" Ren's mother asked worriedly.

"My brother went to college by himself by high-speed train." Ren Xingmei stuffed the suitcase into the back of the car and said, "Dad can just take me to the station. Mom doesn't have to come with me."

"Your brother is your brother, and you are you. How can you compare?" Ren's mother snorted.

Ren Xingmei muttered, "Isn't my brother my biological son?"

"Of course! It was a stormy night..."

Ren Xingmei was surprised and delighted: "Really not a biological child?"

"…Because the weather was too bad, your dad didn't want to go out to buy an umbrella, so I got pregnant with your brother!" Ren's mother poked Ren Xingmei's forehead: "What are you thinking, your brother looks just like your dad, how can he not be your biological son?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Ren's father silently turned on the car stereo, and a female voice came from the radio: "Burn my calories..."

"Then... am I not a biological child?" Ren Xingmei speculated again: "Some parents are particularly good to their adopted daughters..."

"You are as pretty as I was when I was young. I'll be angry if anyone says you are not my biological child!" Ren's mother poked Ren Xingmei's forehead three times: "Don't think about these nonsense. Go to school and study hard. Come to us if you need anything. Your brother is already an adult, but he doesn't even have a picture of food on his Moments. He has been slutting since I was in my belly. Leave some money for him to start a family..."

Ren Xingmei recalled the four girls that Ren Suo knew, all of whom had very different styles but were undoubtedly beautiful. She thought that his singleness might not be due to money, but simply because his brain had gone haywire since he went to college...

"But don't you call your brother?"

"It will take a whole day to get there! And you have to report on time, no early, no late. You can find my brother after you report." Ren Xingmei stuck out her tongue: "When the time comes, run to my brother's door and call him. Give him a surprise!"

"If your brother has a girlfriend, tell us." Ren's mother instructed: "Hurry up and bring her over to meet us and get engaged. No matter what, we should trick her into marrying you first..."

Ren Xingmei: "Why do you say that it sounds like kidnapping? My brother is in pretty good condition. He doesn't visit prostitutes, gamble, or drink. He is a cultivator in a popular profession, and he is also a college worker..."

Ren's mother: "But he lacks brains."

“That’s true…”

Ren's father said helplessly: "It's almost time, let's get in the car and go to the station."

"Goodbye, Mom!"

Watching Ren Xingmei leave in the car, Ren's mother looked at the time and prepared to go buy groceries. She turned around and met an aunt she knew.

"Hey Aunt Ren, I just came back from buying groceries... I saw you and your daughter chatting on the roadside from a distance."

"Yes, my daughter is going to study in Lianjiang. I can't bear to let her go." Ren's mother sighed, looking worried:

"Although she went to that Tianlian College, yes, yes, yes, that university for practitioners, and now people are scrambling to get into that university to study and become practitioners; although my eldest son works there, yes, yes, yes, my son is also a practitioner, but I am still worried about my daughter. After all, she is my own daughter..."

"You are so lucky to have such successful children. How did you raise them?"

"Just teach them casually. After all, they are my daughter and son. It's normal for them to have such achievements..."

"Finally we've reached the last household..."

Ren Suo watched the explorers arrive at a manor before setting down the mountain at dusk, and he felt inexplicably nervous.

There are ten households in the whole village, with a total of twenty-two people. Now the game is on the fourth day, and the explorer has to go to the last family's house to eat and record their messages.

And this family is none other than the owner of the blue-purple-scaled cow mentioned many times before, the home of Grandpa Fugui.

“I walked into the yard and found it was just an ordinary courtyard.

The cowshed was empty, but the cocks, hens, and chickens were clucking in the chicken coop;

There were several carps swimming in the pond, occasionally floating to the surface of the water, creating ripples.

There are bacon and grains drying in the yard. As the sun sets, the yard is so peaceful and tranquil.

There was no one in the house, so I went in and took a look. I found that this place really had a sense of age, and the house was filled with mostly wooden furniture that I carved myself.”

"After a while, an old farmer came over with a cow. The cow walked very slowly and its brown skin was a little loose. It looked quite old.

When the old farmer saw me, he told me that his family had not returned yet, and asked me to stay here while he went to call them back.

I looked at the cow grazing beside the cowshed and said I could help you look for it.

But I didn't expect the old farmer to walk so fast that he disappeared when he finished speaking. When I wanted to run out, the cow he brought back blocked the gate.

The next second, purple scales appeared on the old cow's body, the grass under its hooves began to wither, and the wooden stakes next to it began to rot.

I took two steps back in shock and discovered that the chickens in the coop next to me suddenly flapped their wings and flew onto the branches of the paulownia tree. Their feathers suddenly caught fire and their clucking sounds turned into the melodious cry of a phoenix.

The rooster and the hen turned into golden-winged phoenixes that were taller than me. Their bodies seemed to be made of flames. They soared in the sky and looked down at me.

The fishes in the pond also changed drastically. The pond was filled with huge waves and splashing water. After a while, all the fish disappeared, and were replaced by a group of beautiful mermaids with scales covering their bodies, swimming happily in the clear pond. They noticed me and had no qualms about showing off their magnificent breasts. The shells could only cover a little bit of their proud bodies.

With bright smiles on their faces, they emerged from the pond one by one, casually pulled their hands out of the water, and clenched the water knives with both hands, and the knives emitted a high-frequency vibration sound like the buzzing of flies. With a light stroke of their hands, the earth was torn apart by the water knives.

"Things that walk on the ground, fly in the sky, and swim in the water, it looks like this dinner will be a sumptuous one..."

"I give you the dignity of food so that you can have a dignified death."

After a few seconds, Ren Suo started to load the save file.

There is no doubt that the explorers became their dinner.

Not to mention the Blue Purple Scaled Ox's instant kill technique, the explorer would be completely overwhelmed by the dual-blade mermaid and the golden-winged phoenix alone.

I don't know if the two-blade mermaid's sword is a high-frequency cutting sword or a high-pressure water stream, but every time it hits the explorer, it breaks the defense. After a few hits, the explorer is crippled.

The Golden-winged Phoenix turned out to be a long-range attack unit, and it cast spells in the sky. All of a sudden, all kinds of red, blue, purple and green energies bombarded the explorer. Even though the explorer had the bonus of the first and second chapters of "Xuanjun Secret Records" and the rebound of the "Reincarnation Eye Beauty Contact Lenses", he was still blasted into debris by the spells.

The blue-purple unicorn didn't even make a move before the explorer fell down.

There is no doubt that even if Grandpa Fugui's family is not the ultimate bss, they are probably small bss.

The dual-blade mermaid represents the ultimate in physical attack, while the golden-winged phoenix symbolizes the pinnacle of energy attack. If you want to withstand these two waves of attacks, you must either give the explorer an ultimate attack item that can instantly kill everyone, or let the explorer stack up his physical and magic defenses.

Interestingly, both of these paths are feasible for Ren Suo.

There is indeed a prop that can instantly clear the field. It is a strange prop that is dark red in color, covered with red patterns, and looks like both a sword and a spear:

"Star of Creation of Heaven and Earth: An epic item that opens up the world. After use, the space within a radius of 100 meters will be completely destroyed instantly, and all matter (including equipment) and souls will be destroyed at the same time, and a new world will be created. It can only be used once and will automatically disappear after use. It requires 250 energy points."

If this item is used, the Explorer will undoubtedly be within the destruction range, but the Explorer's "Red Heart Frame Sunglasses" are still there, which can withstand a fatal attack, so there will be no problem.

But the problem is that this item can only be used once in this game, but it will almost exhaust the energy accumulated by Ren Suo so far. In other words, if there are still enemies behind, it all depends on the explorer's operation.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that not only can this thing be used only once, but it will also destroy all the equipment on the explorer... Even if Ren Suo is willing to scan it again, the explorer may not be able to earn energy points next time!

In other words, after using this thing, if Fugui's family is not the final bss, the explorer is dead; if it is the final bss, Ren Suo is doomed to lose.

As for the other way, stacking up defense, Ren Suo can also do it.

Of course, items that can simultaneously satisfy the requirements of 'near immunity to physical attacks' and 'near immunity to energy attacks' require a massive amount of energy, and even current explorers do not have enough energy.

However, if these needs were exchanged by categories, the merits required would be reduced by more than half.

Physical immunity can be divided into 'Energy Offset', 'Body Hardening', 'Blocking', or 'Light as a Feather', 'Blurred Evasion', 'Three Magatama Eyes', etc. If you only need to invalidate physical attacks, Ren Suo can come up with many prop combinations, and the same goes for energy attacks.

These props only had one or two small effects, and required little energy. Some of them were even rare items. Ren Suo searched his own prop library and was able to easily gather the items he needed.

The problem with this method is that there will be a lot more garbage in the lottery pool after Ren Suo.

Ren Suo thought for a long time and decided to take the third way.

Because Ren Suo vaguely sensed something was wrong: when explorers went to other people's homes, there would definitely be someone at home to receive them.

However, when the explorer arrived at Grandpa Fugui's house, there was a short period of time when the explorer was the only one in the house. After a while, Fugui came back leading the old cow.

Although it is normal for others to farm and not be at home in real life, this game is not reality.

After reloading the file, the explorer entered the courtyard again and Ren Suo pressed the pause button.

As expected, new options appeared in the explorer's actions:

"There's no one at home. Didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal? Should I explore this house, take things out of my backpack, or help cook in the kitchen?"

"Explore", "Take things out of backpack", "Cook".

As soon as Ren Suo chose the method, flames suddenly ignited in the explorer's hands:

"Then let's have grilled chicken and fish—"

"A few fireballs fell, and after a few loud bangs, the chickens in the chicken coop became roasted chickens, and the fish in the pond became roasted fish. I went into the house and found the plates, and then I processed the chickens and fish further."

"At this time, an old farmer came back with his cows. He saw that I had roasted all the chickens and fish, and asked me in surprise what I was doing."

"I said, I saw no one here, I thought this was a buffet, I'm sorry."

"The old farmer waved his hands, indicating that he didn't mind, but asked me why I killed them all. Can I eat so much?"

"I mean, I mainly think that a family should be neat and tidy, right?"

“It’s well known that I’m a kind person.”
