"Lover?" Hill laughed ridiculously, showing a hint of stubbornness. That's not what she wants, she has her pursuit and dream.
"Everyone will face many choices in life, and each choice may lead to another completely different path." Bernstad breathed out, "I hope you can stay, I can see that , Senior Brother Garen belongs to the kind who generally doesn't care about others, but once he can really get into his heart, he will give you an explanation no matter what."
"Confession?" Hilke shook his head, "I like him, but he just pities me. Only pity"
"Why don't you choose me? Anyway, we are old acquaintances, so don't take advantage of outsiders." Bernsta laughed.
"Forget it! I'll tell Sister Victor carefully!" Hill Ke patted him speechlessly. "Besides, if you leave, you won't be in touch. Now that technology is so advanced, even if you go to the Finites, you still have a way to contact them. What are you afraid of?"
"That's right, it's up to you to decide, and I'll give you a word of advice from Senior Brother." Bernstad shrugged.
The originally somewhat sad atmosphere was completely lost by him, and Hill gave him a blank look without a word.
"Forget it, I'll go back and pack my things and order a transfer ticket."
"Go, go early and come back early, I believe you will come back sooner or later." Bernstad's face looked like he was begging for a beating.
"Go to hell!" Hilke snorted, completely lost the feeling of sadness, and left quickly in the electronic chair.

Chi Xuexing
In the dense pine forest.
Garen's body was slightly suspended in mid-air, surrounded by an inexplicable invisible force field, which lifted him up and suspended him.
From time to time, five streaks of crimson light flowed around him, swimming around him like fish. It looks radiant.
A pile of red malachite was piled up beside him, which was part of the ore delivered to him by Princess Aini in advance. Pieces of malachite were continuously inhaled by Gallon, and they were dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the red crystal was gradually being filled with all kinds of rust.
"Absorbing these red malachites, my peacock body finally started to move again." Garen saw that his seventh layer of Peacock Skill in Cold Prison had finally progressed again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Now almost hundreds of dollars have been absorbed, and the progress has changed from the original 5% to the current 15%.
"The environment here is also good, suitable for seclusion and practice, but it's a pity that we can't absorb malachite here until we improve, otherwise there may be a certain increase in strength." Gallon calmed down.
Five or six years have passed since he came to the Scarlet Snow Sect, and he has also grown from a third-level energy machinist back then to a fifth-level energy machinist now. It is even possible to leapfrog against the new moon level.
This kind of growth rate is already very fast for ordinary people, but it is only average for geniuses.
But no matter what kind of genius it is, when it reaches the resonance stage, it will slow down instantly and be blocked for a long time. For example, Carthage has stayed at this stage for three years, but it is a pity that he has not yet broken through to the inheritance level.
It's not him, there are many other geniuses like this, such as the Black Panyu back then, the same is true, the top geniuses were blocked from staying at the resonance level for an unknown number of years, even decades.
For energy machinists, this stage is the key to condensing their own core. The quality of condensing will directly affect the strength level of the inheritance level in the future, and the possibility of advancing in the future.
Now, Garen was also facing this critical threshold.
While meditating, Garen continued to absorb the red malachite around him. Pieces of red malachite were continuously absorbed and turned into white ash and scattered.
I don't know how long it took, the twins were cooking water and cooking in the nearby camp. After eating, they were about to go into the camp to rest
Whoosh! !
Suddenly there was a sharp whistling sound in the distance, as if something flew directly through the air, from far to near.
The sound quickly approached the large pine forest on the side of Garen and the others.
Suddenly, a black light pulled out a black line and passed over the heads of Garen and the others, before quickly disappearing into the distant sky.
Garen opened his eyes and glanced at the black light, then closed his eyes quietly and continued to practice without expression.
But after passing by the black light, in a short while, the sound of someone walking was vaguely heard in the pine forest.
"Goli, pay attention behind you!" A man's voice sounded low.
Snapped! It seemed that some insect was killed in one blow, and there was a faint creaking sound of struggling. Among them was a woman's low cry of panic, obviously frightened.
"Sleeping insects, third-level mutant creatures, be careful." The man's voice came again.
The twins next to Garen stood up, walked forward cautiously, and stood in front of Garen.
Not long after, a small team gradually came out from the pine forest in front, wearing uniform black clothes, wearing special contact headsets on their heads, and each holding a handful of black short sticks in their hands, which seemed to be used to push away Poisonous bugs and plants and things like that.
The body fell instantly, and Garen opened his eyes and glanced at the team. The captain was a strong man with bright eyes, tall and powerful, with a calm and resolute face, giving people a sense of safety and reliability.
Among the rest of them, except for a delicate girl with red hair and ponytail, all of them had indifferent faces and were extremely skilled in walking. They were obviously veterans of the jungle.
As soon as the two people met, the captain was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect to meet someone so coincidentally in such a place.
You must know that this is the legendary fifth-level mutated biological area. The dangerous creatures here can reach up to level five, and even above is not impossible. This kind of place does not have a skilled person like him to lead the team. If you want to enter such a deep place safely , is also very difficult.
He, Annan, has been a mercenary in the nearby Hammer City for so long, so he has natural eyesight. He can tell at a glance that Garen and the twins are a typical combination of rich and young masters. There are not a few examples of girls in bed who come out to play in mountains and rivers. It's just that there are very few young masters who dare to come to the fifth-level danger zone.
"I'm Annan from the Donglei Mercenary Corps. I don't know what the three of you are planning to do here. The bug swarm is coming soon, and this place may become very dangerous." Annan reminded with a frown. Seeing that the three of Garen were not very old, he didn't see Garen's body levitating just now, but just regarded the three of them as a small team coming out to play.
Garen looked at the team. Three men and three women, plus the protected red-haired ponytail girl, made up seven people. Except for the protected person, the rest were all professional.
I just don't know why this group of people didn't pass here by airship, but chose to walk. Are they looking for something in this pine forest
"You can do whatever you want." He smiled slightly, and pointed to the road that could pass on the side. The twin twins had already pointed out the direction of the passage for them to leave.
Bug swarm Garen naturally knows what it is, but it's just a group of second-level mutated bugs gathered together. It may be a bit of a deterrent to others, but to him, the halo spreads, the radiation spreads, and as many bugs come, they will die. How many, low-level groups are not even qualified for him to approach him.
It's not just him, any energy machinist at the fifth level will not be killed by such a low-level mass group, and the Chi Xue faction's area cold attack has always been extremely famous.
Xiao Er looked at the group of people with some curiosity. The protected girl looked a little haggard, with a bad complexion, as if she hadn't rested for a long time, and her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had cried for a long time first.
"Clear it." She pointed to the removed road and let the team pass.
Annan sighed, and led the team past the camp, and he just kindly mentioned something. When he was about to walk through the camp, he was still a good old man, and he turned around and asked again.
"A queen worm appears in the swarm this time, and it may be more powerful than a normal swarm. You must be careful."
"Let's go uncle, we don't have much time to waste!" The protected girl in the team urged anxiously. "Just give them a piece of insect repellent medicine."
"Insect repellant?" Garen didn't expect that the group of people he met by accident were actually kind-hearted.
Sure enough, the captain reached out and threw a black pill, which landed in front of Garen. Xiaoyi caught it accurately.
"Little brother, you'd better go quickly, even if you are not afraid of the insect swarm coming, you will be trapped for at least a few days." Annan couldn't help reminding again.
"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention." Garen nodded and smiled.
The protected girl in the opposing team kept urging her.
"It's fine if they don't leave. Hurry up, uncle, what are you worried about? How many times has this happened along the way, and you have to notify everyone, and it took us five days to make this little trip!"
"When you are away from home, it is also necessary to remind each other to help. If you help others today, you may be helped by others after a while." A mercenary girl in the team replied lightly.
"You mercenaries are trouble!" the red-haired ponytail girl shouted impatiently.
The group quickly walked away and gradually disappeared into the pine forest.
Garen withdrew his gaze and asked Xiaoyi to check the ingredients of the pills mechanically.
"It's all deworming, no problem." Xiaoyi put down the pill and nodded to Garen.
"You can move around freely, just don't go too far around." Garen said lightly.
"yes."
The two girls responded respectfully, and continued to wait by Garen's side for another hour or two, but the girl's character couldn't help it, so the two placed some warning props, and then went out to hang out separately.
Ever since they were assigned to Gallon, they have completely lost touch with their previous familiar life, and entered a completely unfamiliar living environment, so that they have always behaved submissively, without their own personalities at all, just like machines that can execute orders. People are no different.
Garen allowed them to walk around to relax himself.
