Upon entering the micro-realm the next day, their first task was to welcome Xiao Qing and, incidentally, soothe her emotions.
"I never thought that even the notorious 'King of Cannons' would fall from grace one day," Xiao Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Wu had already entered the bamboo house to comfort Xiao Qing, who had entered the Micro Realm. Ye Wu explained the existence of the Micro Realm to Xiao Qing, while the others waited and did their work.
Actually, it would be very advantageous to tell Xiao Qing about this after entering the micro-world, because Xiao Qing is currently in shock and probably won't have time to be angry.
However, he soon realized his mistake, because Ye Wu's screams quickly came from inside the bamboo house. Then it soon quieted down again.
"Chen Yang, come here right now!"
A fierce female voice came from inside the bamboo house. Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then walked in helplessly, since he was in the wrong.
Li Su'er breathed a sigh of relief, as she was also partly to blame as an "accomplice."
However, Xiao Qing soon came out looking excited, followed by a dejected Chen Yang and Ye Wu.
"What, are you drained dry?" Xiaoqi asked in surprise, which earned her a glare from the two men.
Chen Yang had just reluctantly given Xiao Qing the reporting rights for the Microworld Inn, but on the condition that his existence not be revealed. As for Ye Wu, he had already become Xiao Qing's devoted follower, and the two had officially confirmed their romantic relationship.
"My youth has come to an end." Ye Wu felt utterly desperate.
“Really, you’re all in here, and you’re all wearing fur. This place looks like a prehistoric society.”
Xiao Qing stared wide-eyed at everyone, incredibly excited – a natural instinct stemming from his profession.
"Xiao Qing, I have to emphasize this to you again: you absolutely cannot report it, nor can you tell anyone about the existence of the Micro Realm. Otherwise, your memory will be erased," Ye Wu said seriously to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing seemed somewhat unwilling and said, "Can I just write the report and not tell anyone else?"
The same thought popped into Chen Yang's mind: what would happen if he just wrote it down and didn't tell anyone?
"All information about the Micro-World will be erased, including the memories of those associated with it." A series of notifications suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yang's eyes. This was the Micro-World reading his thoughts and reminding him.
“No, this is determined by the laws of dimensions. Information and memories cannot exist in the micro-world and on Earth; they will be erased, including your memories,” Ye Wu said to Xiao Qing.
Chen Yang stared blankly at Ye Wu, while Ye Wu looked at him confidently and said, "Don't think I'm stupid. I've put in a lot of hard work to study this. It's an absolute law between dimensions."
Chen Yang gave Ye Wu a thumbs up, unsure whether to praise him as a genius or a fool, and could only sincerely sigh.
"You're awesome!"
…………
Xiao Qing joined the hunting group and learned archery from Li Su'er. However, she soon discovered that she had no talent for archery. But she had practiced javelin throwing in high school and was very powerful. Although her accuracy still needed to be improved, she had the potential to develop it.
When Xiao Qing practiced for a while and finally shot a spear through the target, Xiao Qi patted Ye Wu's shoulder silently, "Ye Pao Wang, no, Ye Wu, I can't win over this woman. From now on, we're not rivals, we're brothers. If you're ever troubled, just come to me for a drink."
Ye Wu was on the verge of tears, "Get out!"
Xiao Qing's addition made the hunting team's tasks a bit easier. The hunting team now has another very important task: collecting wild fruits and feed.
At three times the time flow rate, the poultry's energy expenditure is also three times higher. This makes Chen Yang hesitant to bring the horse herd into the area with three times the flow rate.
Fortunately, there are enough horses to go without breeding, and they can eat when they go out to ride. Otherwise, it would take two or three people to take care of the horses.
The most important task for the Xindu camp now is the construction of new accommodations.
Their house is almost finished. Now the main focus is on dividing the interior rooms so that everyone can have their own private room. Although the soundproofing is not good and it cannot provide absolute privacy, it still makes people feel at home.
The girls were weaving bamboo mats and beds, which were needed in every room, along with chairs and tables. By the standards of the micro-world, this was already quite luxurious.
"Everyone, after the houses are built, I plan to take a few people to look for metal mines. Now we need to select the people. Raise your hand if you are interested."
Chen Yang addressed everyone at dinner time.
At this moment, everyone except Grandpa Yun raised their hands, which made Chen Yang chuckle. It seemed that everyone had been holding back for a long time.
"The number of people is limited, so I can only take four people. The others need to continue building the camp, developing the farmland, and feeding the livestock. Also, this time we are going into the Night Forest, so it is not advisable to have too many people."
"Then Xiaoqing and I won't go. Let's keep the lucky one here; the camp needs him." Ye Wu voluntarily gave up his spot to go out.
“We also need to consider the others on the island. Brother Wang used to work in the mines, let’s count him in,” Jiang Bo said, then put his hand down. He knew the camp needed him more.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Count Brother Wang in. If you're lucky enough to stay this time, I'll take Little Black Bear in. Little Black Bear will help us stop many animal attacks."
“I’m registering my darling. I plan to have him enter the Micro-World tomorrow; he’s a perfect fit. He’s worked in many places, digging tunnels, building railways, and mining,” Li Sen suddenly said.
Everyone stared at him in astonishment.
"Hmph!" Li Sen snorted coldly and said, "What? My darling was born a worker? What? He's now my personal fitting model, and he even won an award in a modeling competition."
"Are you gay?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.
Li Sen nodded proudly and said, "That's right, and I already have a lover."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Then let's reserve a spot for your darling first, and decide tomorrow. Is there anyone else who wants to go?"
“Me!” Li Su’er raised her hand firmly.
"Count me in," Yun Shi unexpectedly raised her hand.
Chen Yang glanced at Yun Shi, and Old Master Yun nodded with satisfaction.
"I want to challenge myself. Once the house is built, I'll be free for the time being," Yun said.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Okay, then let's tentatively decide on these few people. If anyone else wants to go out, let me know and I'll consider it."
After the discussion ended, it was already getting dark, and everyone gradually left. At this time, Grandpa Yun came over and handed Chen Yang a cup of mint tea.
"How was that battle? What were your feelings about it?"
"My opponent is very strong," Chen Yang said. "I would need at least another year of training to beat him."
Grandpa Yun smiled and said, "That's natural. I don't think you're arrogant, so I'll just tell you the truth. His talent is not on the same level as yours. He is also called a genius, having started practicing boxing at the age of six, but you will definitely surpass him in a year."
Chen Yang nodded. He knew he might have some talent in martial arts, but not enough to be this strong; it was his wolf-like bloodline at work. Xingyi Quan seemed to have allowed his wolf-like bloodline to be brought to its maximum expression.
"Try to tone it down next time. That kid went home and cried. He hadn't cried since he was ten. A man who's almost thirty was crying like a child. But it's good, maybe this is an opportunity for him to improve."
Chen Yang never expected that his mature and composed junior disciple in Bajiquan would actually cry. Chen Yang had lost that day, so he hadn't anticipated that it would be such a significant blow to his opponent.
"Keep up the good work." The old man patted Chen Yang on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Chen Yang didn't see that the old man left with a smug smile on his face.
