The next day at the assembly, Lin Xi put on a mask again.
Yang Qiwen was slightly surprised. "What's wrong? Your acne has come back?"
"No, I'm used to it."
Yang Qiwen didn't ask any more questions, shrugged, and walked away.
Today was another day of competition in the morning and coaching in the afternoon.
Although these days are indeed quite painful, everyone's progress is also clearly visible.
The new members probably never imagined that a week would be so difficult, with each day a constant back and forth between being beaten and training, which was a double torment to their bodies and minds.
Before they knew it, it was the last day. Everyone had a smile on their face, more or less. They were finally going to get rid of these three big shots!
The days of abuse are about to be over for them!
With one exception, Jiang Chuan.
After the afternoon assembly ended, he actually went to find Lu Mingxing again.
Upon seeing his actions, the group leaders of the five groups became visibly anxious and hurried over to them.
Where did he go?
Chen Jin shook his head. "They've probably gone to ask them for advice again."
When Jiang Chuan returned, the group leader of Group Five looked at him with a serious expression and asked, "Why did you go to see Lu Mingxing?"
Jiang Chuan was almost expressionless. "I asked him how to quickly reach level four?"
Others were clearly interested in the question as well, asking, "Did you get the answer?"
Jiang Chuan nodded. "Lu Mingxing said that advancing from level three to level four requires not only a large number of crystal cores, but also a lot of practical experience. Both are indispensable."
Lin Xi suddenly realized!
She was wondering why her mental control hadn't reached level four yet!
However, last night, Soul Search was upgraded to level two, allowing for the extraction of longer memory fragments and unlocking a new ability—to add or delete ten seconds of memory.
This morning, I specifically tested it on Chen Jin.
She activated her supernatural ability, and Chen Jin stared blankly for thirty seconds. When he came to his senses, Lin Xi tentatively spoke to him.
"Chen Jin, do you remember what I said to you on our first day?"
Chen Jin thought for a moment and then answered naturally, "You said your face would change in a month because you took some kind of medicine."
Lin Xi's eyes were full of laughter. "Yes, that's the matter."
Before doing this, Lin Xi felt a little guilty, but considering that this matter might become a potential problem in the future, Lin Xi still did it.
Fortunately, the test results were quite good.
Lin Xi altered two of his memories, making the logic coherent, so Chen Jin didn't suspect anything.
After listening, the group leader of Group Five did not relax and continued to ask, "Besides these, what else did you say?"
Everyone looked rather strange. The way the group leader of Group Five asked the question was as if he were interrogating a criminal.
Jiang Chuan stared directly at him with his light-colored eyes, showing no guilt whatsoever. "I even asked him if I could join the Blazing Fire Squad as well."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
He's really daring! He actually said it out loud!
The group leader was furious. He had seen it coming! Jiang Chuan had been getting far too close to those guys from the Blazing Fire Gang these past few days!
Moreover, judging from Lu Mingxing's expression, he seems to admire him quite a bit.
He was worried that someone else would try to poach their employees! And he guessed right.
He suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "What did those three people say?"
"They said that the Fire Regiment has no plans to take in members from other regiments in the short term."
Hearing this, the group leader of Group Five finally felt relieved. Judging from their words, they did not intend to take Jiang Chuan away.
If they were to take them away, what would happen? The Wind Eagle Gang was founded a little later, and most of the earliest ability users had already joined the Blazing Fire Gang.
In this situation, the Wind Eagle Gang is slightly weaker than the Blazing Fire Gang.
However, the leaders here attach great importance to this matter, so they have put a lot of effort into training the new members.
Moreover, there are several promising talents this year who are highly valued by the higher-ups, among whom Jiang Chuan is the most outstanding.
I heard that he had been learning martial arts since elementary school, so his movements and other skills were better than those of the other members who had no foundation. The higher-ups also felt that he had great potential.
If they weren't careful and someone poached their teammate, those group leaders would probably get a severe scolding!
"Alright, since they've clearly stated their refusal, you can just stay here. The Wind Eagle Gang is definitely not much worse than the Blazing Fire Gang."
Jiang Chuan lowered his head, clearly taking those words as a wake-up call. He nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Xu Youjia looked at him with a complicated expression, "You really want to go?"
"Don't you know my personality?" Jiang Chuan said nonchalantly. "Even if I wanted to join the Blazing Fire Gang, I would only want to find a few strong sparring partners."
Uncle Lin shook his head. These young people nowadays are all so clueless. They don't know how to be tactful in their words and actions. The group leader of Group Five just now had such a horrible face that he could rival a vampire in ugliness.
Yang Qiwen didn't care about his choice. In the end, no matter how good their relationship was, they were just companions who supported and encouraged each other to survive.
She seeks a stable life, and even if Jiang Chuan really leaves, her choice will not change because of Jiang Chuan's choice.
But the other two are another story.
Not far away, Lu Mingxing's eyes were on Lin Xi in the crowd, but after a moment he looked away indifferently.
"Leaving tomorrow morning."
"Okay! By the way, Xiao He, do you see if there are any new missions?"
Tang He raised his hand and tapped the bracelet a few times. "The Blazing Fire Squad requires us to return and assemble in three days."
Big Jar looked regretful. "Alas, that's a pity. We won't be able to fight zombies on the road."
Then, remembering what the new members of the Wind Eagle Squad had said about how one of their groups encountered high-level zombies on their first mission, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ming, do you think our skill level is good enough to fight high-level zombies now?"
"It's uncertain." Lu Mingxing finally had a moment to light a cigarette.
Tang He looked at him strangely, "Brother Ming, what's wrong with you lately?"
Lu Mingxing gave a light "hmm," his posture casual yet exuding a touch of aristocratic air.
“You haven’t been smoking much in public lately; you only smoke after the party ends.”
After Tang He pointed it out, Da Gang belatedly realized the problem, "That's right."
"In public places, we should have some public manners."
After saying this, Lu Mingxing's face was covered with a layer of smoke, and he strode away.
Tang He looked at the large vat: "Do you believe me?"
The man in the large vat shook his head: "I don't believe it."
"He's been acting strangely ever since he came here," Tang He shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it, and followed him.
