The night is dark and the moon is dim.
Xia Ning tiptoed out of Yuan Chenfei's room, holding her shoes and quietly closing the door.
When he turned around, his body froze.
Liu Li was standing across the corridor, looking at her with his arms folded.
"When I came in the afternoon, I was a black swan. Who would have thought that in the evening, I would become a peacock." Liu Li snorted.
Seeing her like this, Xia Ning was not angry. She just put down her shoes and put them on: "I thought you had figured it out after our last conversation, but I didn't expect you are still so confused now."
Figured it out
Of course Liu Li figured it out.
But if everything can be solved by figuring it out, then what else is there to do with emotions
She could understand Yuan Chenfei's choice, but that didn't mean she could accept it.
Raising her chin slightly, she said: "It has nothing to do with him. I just think that as a girl, sometimes it is better to love yourself. Especially a man who has no plans to have a future with you."
"Really?" After hearing this, Xia Ning smiled: "Then if I tell you that I actually love myself very much, and when I am in need, I will only look for Feizi, will you be happier?"
When these words came out, Liu Li's pretty face turned red immediately.
Suddenly she realized that compared to this answer, she would rather listen to Xia Ning's words: I am a pervert by nature, and Yuan Chenfei is just one of my countless passers-by. She didn't say that, but instead said that Yuan Chenfei alone made her feel infinitely wronged and made her even more troubled.
But he still had a nonchalant look on his face, raised his head slightly, and said, "That's good, as long as you're happy."
Xia Ningxiao: "Since you have agreed, I'm relieved. Okay, it's getting late. Go to bed early. There's no need to stay here with him."
Liu Li was embarrassed: "Who's guarding him? I'm waiting for Han Feiyu. The brat just called me and will be arriving soon. I can't arrange a room for him in the middle of the night."
But thinking about it, Han Feiyu should be waiting in the lobby, so why bother waiting at the door of Yuan Chenfei
This statement really didn't make sense, so I simply didn't make it. As soon as I turned around and went to the lobby, everyone had already come out, and there was really nothing to keep.
Watching her leave, Xia Ning said leisurely: "She is a good girl. Are you sure you don't want her?"
no respond.
Xia Ning snorted and walked away.
In the room, Yuan Chenfei stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, his mind going blank.
After a while, he shook his head and took out a pocket watch.
Reverse hypnosis.
It's a pity that he is a professional now. No matter how he hypnotizes himself, he just can't fall asleep.
I still don't believe it.
Yuan Chenfei gritted his teeth and used it on himself, constantly trying various methods. I don't know how long it took, but I finally fell asleep after exhausting myself.
early morning.
hotel restaurant.
Li Zhanjun arrived with sleepy eyes and saw Yuan Chenfei and the others were already eating.
"What to eat?" Li Zhanjun asked.
"Caviar rice ball, do you want one? The mutated shining sturgeon." Yuan Chenfei replied, slowly putting a rice ball into his mouth.
"Xianneng Food?" Li Zhanjun was surprised.
"Well, Boss Song is treating me to a treat. I want to nourish myself before the battle. The soup is also good, striped mushroom soup."
Li Zhanjun sat down and looked at the colorful soup in the soup cup: "Why does it look like it's poisonous?"
Yuan Chenfei drank the soup: "It is indeed poisonous. Only professional chefs can remove the toxicity and retain the deliciousness by processing it personally. Other methods will only destroy its deliciousness and nutrition... Made by Chu Liu himself."
"Then thank you." Li Zhanjun picked up the small cup of soup and drank it all in one gulp.
Liu Li shook his head when he saw it: "What a waste of natural resources."
Li Zhanjun curled his lips and said: "Where are there so many rules? I am just a pig butcher. Before the gods came, I drank wine in big bowls and ate meat in big chunks. On the sixth day of the lunar month, this soup is too little. Give me a big one."
Chu Liu waved his hand, indicating that there were only so many ingredients in the kitchen, and then pushed his own over.
"No, how can I eat from you? Let me see if there is anything else."
Li Zhanjun was mumbling when a voice came from behind him: "Brother Li, do you want to try mine?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a glass bottle appeared in front of Li Zhanjun.
Li Zhanjun looked back and saw that it was Han Feiyu.
Laughing, she went over and hugged him: "When did your kid come?"
"Sister Liu Li picked me up at midnight last night. Hey, where is the former eldest brother?" Han Feiyu looked around.
"Your former eldest brother is in jail. This is your eldest brother Fang." Liu Li pointed at Yuan Chenfei.
Han Feiyu suddenly realized it and patted his head: "I forgot, hello, Brother Fang. Who is this?"
Rouwa replied very cutely: "My name is Rouwa."
"Hello sister Rouwa." Han Feiyu called sweetly.
"Brother, please take care of me more." Rouwa replied in a sweet voice. If I don’t know this little girl, I just think she’s cute.
Han Feiyu was obviously shocked by Rouwa's cuteness, and his eyes started to look different when he looked at Rouwa.
"Have you rested well?" Yuan Chenfei said at the right time, drawing Han Feiyu's attention.
Han Feiyu came back to his senses, touched his head and smiled: "It's okay. We are professionals now, so we don't need to sleep for a long time."
"Then let's have breakfast." Yuan Chenfei snapped his fingers, and a waiter had already brought breakfast to Han Feiyu.
Here Li Zhanjun is still holding the medicine bottle and looking at it: "What is this?"
"Would you like to try a new medicine I've researched?" When he mentioned his proud work, Han Feiyu immediately became excited.
"Newly researched?" Li Zhanjun was surprised and took a look at the medicine bottle: "Aren't they all made according to the system's formula? Can the gadgets of the gods be innovative?"
"Why not? As long as you understand the principle, it's the same. The ultimate in science is theology." Han Feiyu grabbed the medicine bottle back seriously: "Don't shake it around, be careful of explosion."
"Explosion? Will this medicine explode?" Li Zhanjun was startled by his words.
"The liquid of this medicine is not completely fused. It is usually in a separated state. After shaking, it will fuse together and produce a special effect." Han Feiyu answered.
"What effect? Explosion?" Li Zhanjun's eyes widened, expressing extreme dissatisfaction with Han Feiyu's behavior of giving him the explosive agent as soup.
"That's just a side effect. In fact, the purpose of the explosion is just to send the liquid farther, and it's not very powerful."
Hearing this, Li Zhanjun breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually: "What is the main goal?"
"Corrosion." Han Feiyu replied: "It corrodes everything it touches, including energy shields."
Li Zhanjun was stunned and cursed for a while: "Fuck your mother."
Rouwa covered her mouth and chuckled, looking like an innocent and cute young lady who was being amused by the handsome Han Feiyu.
Seeing Rouwa smiling "brightly", Han Feiyu felt proud.
He had seen Rouwa before, and he was young and had no idea how to pick up girls, so he used "Uncle" Li Zhanjun to tease her. Now it seems that the effect is really good.
Han Feiyu was proud of his successful "show", but Yuan Chenfei was a little worried about him.
Young man, you really have to keep your eyes open. Believe it or not, this little girl will trick you to death in minutes.
He gave Rouwa a look and whispered: "Those who can sit here are all my brothers and sisters. If you have nothing to do, don't play tricks on others, so as not to cause trouble."
He was talking about Rouwa, but Han Feiyu thought he was talking about him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it turns out... Brother Fang, I was just making a joke for Uncle Li."
Li Zhanjun clenched his fists: "If you call me uncle again, I will crush you to death. Do you believe it?"
Han Feiyu shrank his neck and said, still unconvinced: "Don't think that we alchemists are incapable of fighting, okay? Our alchemists' golems are not easy to deal with either."
"What about your golem?" Li Zhanjun asked.
"I haven't had time to practice yet." Han Feiyu muttered.
There is no limit to the number of alchemist's golems, but refining golems requires a large amount of materials, and the refining time is longer than potions. Moreover, once each golem is refined, there is no possibility of upgrading.
Therefore, Yuan Chenfei did not suggest that he take the path of golems at first, but suggested that he should focus on potions and everyone would bring them. There was no need to waste money and materials on junior golems with average strength.
Han Feiyu initially objected to this because everyone has a heart that longs for the battlefield. The attraction of alchemists who lack combat effectiveness is indeed weaker. If Yuan Chenfei hadn't promised him that he would definitely help him get the powerful golem blueprint later.
"You will have it soon." Yuan Chenfei suddenly said at this moment.
"What?" Han Feiyu was stunned for a moment, then understood, his eyes lit up: "You mean..."
Yuan Chenfei nodded: "That's the paradise of magic."
The scarlet castle.
This is a castle whose entire body is made of white rock. Although its name is scarlet, its overall color is pure white.
The castle has a simple style, with two walls. There is a suspension bridge outside the outermost gate. Under the suspension bridge is the moat surrounding the castle. The river comes from the upper reaches and goes downstream after going around the castle. The medicinal field that Song Shuli and they fought for is located downstream of the castle.
There are stone statues everywhere on the walls and interior of the castle. These stone statues are guards. This has been confirmed by later explorers.
Unlike ordinary rock guards, after the castle guard is destroyed, it will not take long to restore itself, no matter how many times it is broken.
Professionals who enter the castle will experience various dangers, and most of them will die. Even the professionals who are alive can't give any information. They have lost all the memories inside.
But as long as the professionals come back alive, they can usually bring out some good things from it.
It is for this reason that this mysterious castle continues to attract professionals from all walks of life to explore.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Yuan Chenfei, Song Shuli and others arrived at the gate of the Scarlet Castle. Shang Cheng and others from Jin Rui Company were already waiting here.
Seeing Xia Ning in the team, Shang Cheng was obviously startled: "Miss Xia? Are you here too?"
"Join in the fun, as long as Mr. Shang doesn't think I'm nosy." Xia Ning smiled slightly.
Shang Cheng shook his head: "It's nothing, but..."
"What's wrong?"
"It sounds like a coincidence, you better see for yourself." Shang Cheng said, snapping his fingers. At the corner next to the castle, a person has stepped out.
"Long time no see, Xia Ning."
Xia Ning was stunned: "He Changqing?"
