Wen Zuo shook his head. "I'm not sure. It's still small, and its abilities haven't been fully revealed yet. We'll know its specific abilities when it gets a little bigger."
Mo Shuwan glanced sadly at the sleeping little dinosaur beside her. "That's not bad either. Maybe when it grows up, it can teleport us." After imagining it for a moment, Mo Shuwan couldn't help but laugh. "Let's leave separately this time. You take the little dinosaur and go first. I'll go out when you come back."
Wen Zuo nodded. "Then I'll be going now. Remember to practice the moves I taught you last time."
"Yes, I know." Mo Shuwan handed the cage to Wen Zuo, watched Wen Zuo disappear into the single sofa, then picked up the two time cards and looked at them. Twenty hours. Besides going back to quit his job, he could also go to Cai Zhongqi's hometown to give the things to his wife.
Having basically decided how to allocate her time, Mo Shuwan quickly finished eating the peaches. She took a bath first, and before going to bed, she exchanged some meat for the little dinosaur and placed it beside her.
When Mo Shuwan woke up, ten hours had passed inside the bus. She was awakened by the chirping of the little dinosaur. She sat up, rubbing her temples, and looked at the little dinosaur lying on the ground, unable to get up. She sighed.
Mo Shuwan got out of bed, walked over, picked up the little dinosaur, and made it sit. She put some meat on a plate for it to eat. Thinking of Wen Zuo's little dinosaur's abilities, she felt a pang of sadness and flicked the little dinosaur's head with her finger. "I don't expect you to have any heaven-defying abilities. I just hope you can grow up a little faster."
After the little dinosaur finished eating, it barked at Mo Shuwan, and a small flame dissipated just half a fist's distance from her face.
"...Being able to breathe fire is not bad."
[Chen Jiaxu has requested to add you as a contact. Do you agree?]
Mo Shuwan had no reason to disagree.
After a good night's sleep, she felt much better both physically and mentally. With her mind clear, she remembered something she had overlooked: the special item the locals in the mission world had mentioned that could reduce the difficulty of the mission.
Chen Jiaxu: Captain, I'm a little hesitant. I don't know which skill book to choose.
Mo Shuwan: Have you ever been to the exchange forum?
Chen Jiaxu: I went there, but I needed points to even read the posts, so I didn't dare click on them.
Mo Shuwan: It's okay. Just search for the few manuals you've been eyeing. Some of the titles will reveal some information. Compile that information and I'll take a look at it for you in a bit.
Chen Jiaxu: Thank you, Captain. I'll go and get it sorted out right away!
After searching the forum, many related posts about special items appeared. Mo Shuwan carefully observed the titles to judge which ones were more valuable, and finally understood the matter of special items after reading two posts.
Basically, to obtain special items, you can only wait until you have completed five mission worlds before you can unlock the trading forum and buy them from other passengers. Alternatively, you can meet and trade with other passengers in real life without going through the forum.
Using a barter system.
Of course, this is on the premise that both parties to the transaction must be in the same location, but most passengers are unwilling to reveal their true identities, so this option is basically not feasible.
"It seems that Fang Min and the others are engaged in a real-world transaction."
Having figured this out, Mo Shuwan turned off her phone. The trading forum would only open after the next mission world, so there was no point in looking at it too much now.
Mo Shuwan changed into sportswear to practice her reaction skills and some simple moves taught by Wen Zuo. During this time, her phone rang five or six times, but Mo Shuwan didn't check it. Instead, she persisted in training for two hours before finally picking up her phone, covered in sweat.

After clicking "agree" for all the passengers, Mo Shuwan noticed that all the other passengers had added her except for Liu Dongcheng. More than half an hour earlier, Chen Jiaxu had sent a message saying that he had already organized his notes.
Mo Shuwan: Go wait for me in the carriage.
She took a shower, changed her clothes, and left the room.
Chen Jiaxu, who had been waiting outside, immediately stood up. "Captain!"
"Bring it here so I can take a look."
Chen Jiaxu quickly grabbed a pen and paper and ran over. Since passengers couldn't sit in other people's seats, he could only stand to the side, nervously watching Mo Shuwan browse through his notes.
After spending more than ten minutes reading through Chen Jiaxu's notes, Mo Shuwan thought for a moment, then opened the exchange board and searched for the Water Conveying Manual. She read the introduction carefully several times before saying, "The Water Conveying Manual, please. This manual requires fewer points in the early stages and can give you the ability to protect yourself in a short period of time. However, you must restrain yourself, as the manual's introduction states that the number of times you can use it each day is limited."
Chen Jiaxu took the notebook, somewhat hesitantly, "Captain, I want a manual that can enhance my own strength. This manual is indeed good, but it's all about external factors."
“You’re right, but you don’t have enough points. All the secrets that directly affect the user require a huge amount of points. Indeed, if you really want to use those kinds of secrets, you can afford to buy one or two.”
Chen Jiaxu waited nervously for Mo Shuwan's next move.
"But the initial stage of this kind of manual only improves your physical strength and eyesight. For this little improvement, you spent most of your points. Even if you exchanged some more for weapons and defensive talismans, your means of survival are still too weak."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Shuwan heard footsteps coming from the direction of the car. She stood up and looked over, and sure enough, it was Wen Zuo who had returned.
After listening to Mo Shuwan's words, Chen Jiaxu remained silent for a moment, then nodded dejectedly, "Captain, you're right. I simply can't afford that kind of secret manual right now."
"Don't be discouraged. First, improve your strength, then work hard to earn points in the next world. Maybe you can exchange them for the secret manual you want in the future."
Chen Jiaxu nodded. "Thank you, Captain. I'll head back now."
On his way back, he brushed past Wen Zuo, but he didn't forget to say hello to him.
Back on the bus, Wen Zuo released the little dinosaur. "I've already decided to leave my job, and things at home are basically settled. If anything unfortunate happens... I'll have a cell phone to let you know I'm safe every month."
"Report your safety every month?"
“We hired someone.” Wen Zuo smiled.
"Then I'll probably have to hire someone to let you know I'm safe when I get back!" Mo Shuwan agreed with Wen Zuo's decision. What they encountered was too bizarre, and the less her family knew, the better.
"When I went back this time, I found that it was already mid-October. It seems that although the flow of time in our real world is slow, it is not always slow. Last time we stayed in the mission world for a month, only a little over ten minutes passed. This time, even if we add it all up, it was only a month and a half, but more than ten days have already passed."
Mentioning this, Wen Zuo felt somewhat helpless, because when he returned, he was given a demerit for unexcused absence... It took a lot of effort to write many self-criticisms and thank-you letters to be able to leave the company smoothly.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go pack my things and leave."
