Liu Yong was very grateful to Xu Anran and the others. The rest of the team also woke up one after another. To express their gratitude, they gave Xu Anran and the others their best props.
But these were of no use to them, nor did they need them, so Xu Anran politely declined.
Seeing that they had woken up, Xu Anran decided to leave and go to the wild to find lantern grass.
The lantern grass in this base is carefully protected; if they lose the lantern grass, the place will immediately be overrun by mist grass.
Unlike lantern grass, mist grass reproduces very quickly. Lantern grass takes five years to grow, but once a mist grass is pulled up, it can be found in just one day.
Before leaving, Xu Anran thought that their guild didn't have many members, so she asked Liu Yong, "Has your team joined a guild?"
Liu Yong shook his head: "Not yet. We don't want to join those guilds. They're too exploitative and offer no freedom."
We originally wanted to join the mutual aid society and applied to join, but the society hasn't responded yet.
After hearing Liu Yong's words, Xu Anran realized that they had been too busy lately and hadn't checked on the guild's affairs for a long time.
Xu Anran extended her hand, gesturing for a handshake: "Now, I'd like to invite you to join the Passengers' Mutual Aid Association. Would you like to join?"
Liu Yong was dumbfounded and asked, "Passengers Mutual Aid Association? Who are you?"
“I’m the president. If you’d like to join, let’s shake hands,” Xu Anran replied readily.
The competition for tickets is about to begin, there's no point in hiding anything.
Liu Yong grasped Xu Anran's hand and heard her continue, "You can go back to the waiting room and reapply. I will approve it. Your team doesn't need to split up; you can just call it Mutual Aid Team Four."
After that, as if in a dream, their team and Xu Anran's mutual aid teams 1 and 2 introduced themselves to each other.
Then the two sides said goodbye and watched Xu Anran and the others leave the base.
Liu Yong still felt it was unreal. He turned to his teammates and asked, "Was what just happened real?"
"I don't know, we've just joined the passenger mutual aid association like this? It's that simple? There weren't any assessments or anything?"
"How about I slap you and see if it's true?"
"roll!"

After leaving, Xu Anran and her group searched for another week in their aircraft and finally found a small patch of lantern grass on a mountain. They quickly collected the lantern grass and had Luo Xi and Zhao Chang'an install it. When they returned, she and Zhao Chang'an studied it together.
Afterwards, they found two or three more places of lantern grass, and carrying a lot of collected lantern grass and mist grass, they returned to the waiting hall.
In the waiting room and training room, Xu Anran and others were training when Luo Xi came over and called everyone to gather in the villa's living room. Then she took out bottles of medicine.
Xu Anran recognized it as an awakening potion and asked, "You succeeded?"
Luo Xi smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a success. I compared it with the potion you gave me before, and it's exactly the same. I made ten bottles first. Who among you who hasn't awakened a second ability yet is willing to give it a try?"
Xu Liang eagerly raised his hand: "I'll try!"
Others raised their hands one after another, and Luo Xi distributed the potions to them, then led them to the room she had set up to awaken.
Upon entering the room, they saw that the entire space, from the walls to the floor and ceiling, was covered with energy stones. Luo Xi had specifically asked Xu Anran to help with this the day before. Everyone entered the room, sat cross-legged, drank the potion, and, as Luo Xi instructed, began to meditate and clear their minds.
Soon, the first person reacted. Fan Yunfei felt his whole body burning up and his back itching. Then, little by little, he began to grow wings, which grew bigger and bigger. The wings were more than a meter long, without feathers, and looked somewhat like bat wings, but they could emit blue flames.
Then Xu Liang reacted as well. Two bull horns grew on his head, and his muscles swelled up. Not only did he become stronger, but he could also teleport back and forth within 10 meters at will.
Later, more people awakened one after another. After seeing that everyone had succeeded, Luo Xi hurriedly went to make awakening potions.
Two days later, Xiaofeng, Xiaoyue, Maisui, and Momo, the younger children, also took the medicine and began to awaken.
Xiao Feng awakened a fire-based superpower similar to Uncle Li's, except that his fire was not a normal fire, but a black fire. Anyone who came into contact with this fire would immediately turn to ashes, and it could not be extinguished by any means.
Xiaoyue, like Fan Yunfei, grew a pair of wings. The difference was that her wings had many feathers, which were as hard as steel and could be fired as weapons. After firing them, new feathers would grow from her wings.
Wheat's new ability is to launch a white, shimmering bubble that can trap a person inside, making them immune to any attack. Momo is voice-controlled; she imagines something in her mind, makes the sound of that thing, and then seems to possess its power. For example, if Momo imagines she has a gun, makes "bang bang bang" sounds, and gestures with her hands like a pistol, then wherever she points, the bullet will hit.
After everyone awakened their second superpower, they began a new round of training. In between, they entered two different worlds to train their two superpowers together and to work together with their teammates to improve their teamwork and coordination.
Soon, the day before the admission tickets were issued arrived, and Xu Anran convened a meeting with three or four teams from the mutual aid society.
The competition for admission tickets will be open to all guilds, but each guild can only send one small team into the competition venue. Xu Anran called everyone over to discuss the matter of entering the competition venue.
As everyone sat together, Xu Anran said, "This competition is still quite dangerous. All the guilds from the ten waiting rooms will participate, so I need to ask everyone first: is there anyone who doesn't want to participate?"
Seeing that no one raised their hand to respond, Xu Anran knew that everyone was ready. She continued, "Now, let me announce the list of teams participating in the first competition. Each team is limited to twenty people. I have selected the following: myself, Luo Xi, Qi Ziqi, Zhao Chang'an, Xu Liang, Fan Yunfei, Su Shuzhi, Sister Lan, Song Mingzhu, Yang Ru, He Fei, Qu Lili, Yi Yi, Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue, Liu Bo, Xue Hua, Liu Yong, and finally Momo and Mai Sui."
There are exactly twenty people. Everyone from Team One will go, some from Team Two will go, and Team Three will not participate since they have only been in the waiting hall for a short time. In Team Four, only Liu Yong is strong, and he knows a lot of gossip. He should know most of the people in his waiting hall.
After hearing Xu Anran's arrangement, someone from Liu Yong's team raised their hand: "I can join too. Besides, this competition is quite dangerous. I feel it's better for the kids to stay in the waiting room."
Xu Anran said, "We have exactly twenty people now, we can't add any more. As for the children, why don't you two have a competition in the training room first?"
The training room was a space that Xu Anran purchased with points. It was very large and could be used for combat training without the restrictions of the waiting room. It didn't matter if she got injured inside, as she could recover immediately in the training room. There was no danger to her life inside, so it was very safe.
