"It's the last day already? Why isn't Wen Lang awake yet?!"

Chen Shuyang was gobbling up food when he heard that today is the last day of their task. He couldn’t be bothered with eating anymore and immediately ran to check Wen Lang's breathing. Then, he squatted beside Wen Lang and began to mutter.

"Wen Lang, why are you so stupid? You are stupider than me! Wake up quickly. You can’t take my position as the No.1 stupidest member on the team. If you are still not waking up, I will push this position to you. If you don't speak, it means you agree with this..."

Lou Fan interrupted Shuyang helplessly, "Shuyang, come and eat first. Wen Lang will wake up in a while."

Chen Shuyang lowered his head and no one couldn't see his expression clearly. After a long time, he raised his head. His eyes are a little red as he said, "Brother Lou, Ah Lang must be able to wake up, right?" His voice is very low. When he is looking at Lou Fan's eyes, a little light flashed in his own.

Lou Fan looked at Shuyang and stayed silent for a long time. Then he affirmed, "It's definitely possible. After you finished eating, go to his ear and nag him, he will wake up soon."

Chen Shuyang gave a heavy nod and started eating again. After he finished eating, he downed a bottle of water. Wiping his mouth, he started nagging in Wen Lang's ear.

Nie Feng leaned against the edge of a pillar, with one leg propped up. Staring at Chen Shuyang with drooping eyes, he silently muttered a word, "Silly."

A hand suddenly covered Chen Shuyang's mouth and the owner of the hand said, "Are you a duck? I can even hear you quacking in my dreams."

Wen Lang's tone is impatient, but his eyes are sparkling. He put down the hand covering Chen Shuyang’s mouth and pulled out the poker in his pocket, it got upgraded too. Chen Shuyang looked at Wen Lang like a large dog with bright eyes, and his mouth wide open to reveal 2 rows of white teeth.

"Ah Lang, you finally woke up! Why are you so stupid? You only woke up now."

Lou Fan walked over with a smile, "Shuyang, all thanks to you for waking Wen Lang up."

Wen Lang: …

Qin Tan stood up, also with a smile on his face, "Alright now, it’s great that you managed to wake up. Wen Lang, eat something first. After that, we're going to look for the exit."

Probably because their luck is used up, they can't find an exit after looking for a long time, and everyone is puzzled. It stands to reason that this level should be a Pass (because they woke up from the white world). Even if there are 2 people on the other team who did not pass it, everyone here passed it. Why is there no clue at all now, can it really be impossible to get out?

As they are wondering what to do, the clock struck 12.00 pm.

The dome roof above their head suddenly made clicking sounds. Everyone looked up and saw that the dome is opening up to both sides. Strong sunlight shone in from the outside, forming a strange angle in the middle. Then, everyone saw a door appears on the wall. They immediately became happy, it turned out that this is the exit.

Lou Fan opened the door and walked out. The scene outside the door is a completely different place, no longer the old abandoned amusement park. He turned his head and looked at the exit. The mission world this time is very different from the previous one. He had a feeling that the reason is an important key point. Of course, this time their team had gained too much.

The familiar train whistle sounded, and apart from the 7 of them, no one else can be seen[1].

Wen Lang sighed, "This is the first time for them to be an intermediate team, but both the Level 1 team and the newcomer team are almost obliterated. It's a bit embarrassing!" Only Zhuo Lan survived apart from their team so it is no different from total team destruction.

Glancing at his spirit weapon, Wen Lang felt even more depressed. A team of 6 intermediate-level spirit weapons, people won't believe it even if they say it out. They only need to lead a junior team and a newcomer team but the teams ended up completely wiped out. People might say that they sent the juniors and newcomers to their death, but Heaven can be their witness, they really did their best to protect them.

Zhuo Lan got into the train compartment alone. Looking at the empty carriage, she sighed.

In the other train compartment, except Qin Tan and Lou Fan, everyone else is observing their spirit weapon, but Qin Tan frowned and thought for a moment. He said solemnly, "Upon returning to Lazuli, try to put away your spirit weapons. The 4 of you, try to hide your spirit weapons as much as possible, and try not to be seen by others."

The members who got cue-ed raised their heads in unison. Lou Fan also smiled bitterly, "We have just been promoted to the intermediate team but our spirit weapon got upgraded to intermediate level right away. If we say it out, ill-intentioned people might notice it. It's not that we can’t beat them, but let's avoid trouble."

There are so many organizations in Lazuli. Although they can fight, they can't go against a big crowd. Lou Fan and Qin Tan are both people who prefer lesser hassles.

The scissors in Nie Feng's hands have changed back to its original size, and they are being turned around at his fingertips. Nie Feng casually said, "It’s not possible to keep it under wraps for long so it's better to show other people if you have the strength to flaunt it. In Lazuli, spirit weapon is a symbol of strength, more convincing than the level of rank. If you don't want to be harassed, you just have to speak with your strength. There may also be unexpected gains."

Hearing that, Qin Tan looked at Nie Feng with burning eyes, and Nie Feng returned the gaze without fear. His eyes are so frank that people won't think he said it casually or with a purpose.

Lou Fan thought about what Nie Feng said, it actually made sense. Before this, they agreed that only being low-key can prevent others from snooping. In fact, this is a misunderstanding in itself. The world they currently live in is actually very simple, that is, to speak with strength. Whether it's a spirit weapon, luck, or fighting strength, it's all part of strength. The stronger the strength, the less the people in Lazuli would dare to look down on them. Instead, they will treat them with caution and wariness. Lou Fan patted his head and suddenly realized, "Nie Feng is right. We have the strength so why should we hide and tuck like a thief? Shouldn't we flaunt it and let others ‘kneel and lick’[2] us?"

Everyone: ...

This way of thinking is changing too fast, we can't keep up!

Qin Tan seemed to agree with this statement and said with a smile, "Lou Fan is right, everyone can do whatever you want. Shuyang can also sell his spells publicly. Nie Feng’s reminder is right. This kind of weapon we have is useless when hidden. The benefits are better when they are known to the public.”

Chen Shuyang turned to look at Nie Feng with admiration in his eyes, "Nie Feng, you are amazing. Why are you so smart?"

Nie Feng looked down at Chen Shuyang for a few seconds before reaching out to rub his hair, "Stupid."

Chen Shuyang chuckled a few times and scratched his head, "I'm just a little stupid."

Wen Lang: "…"

Can you talk properly? A top student saying that he is stupid, what on Earth is wrong with you guys?

Jiang Dong's eyes wandered on the 2 people with the light of gossip in his eyes, and a penetrative ‘aunty smile’ hung on the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, nothing can escape his all-seeing eyes!

Since they have decided on the plan, the team swaggered down the compartment when the train arrived at the station. Wen Lang and Jiang Dong's spirit weapons are spinning around at their fingertips, Chen Shuyang is holding his spirit book, while Nie Feng made the scissors bigger and carried it on his shoulders.

Lou Fan doesn’t know if he should laugh or cry. Although they decided not to be low-key anymore, they don't need to be so high-profile either!

Wen Lang winked at Lou Fan, "Our goal is to make them ‘kneel and lick’."

Lou Fan has the urge to cover his face. He shouldn't get too excited and say the word kneeling and licking, but he can't stop it now.

As soon as he got off the train, Lou Fan saw Tong Fei waiting in the station. He immediately smiled, waved his hand, and shouted, "Sister Tong Fei!"

Tong Fei looked like the same Tong Fei he knew, but Lou Fan noticed the change in her for the first time. The bright and beautiful women in the past have now become restrained and calm. Seeing them, her eyes only flickered and returned to calm again. The corners of her mouth just twitched, not laughing like she used to and coming over and giving him a hug.

Tong Fei came over and looked at the team. She raised a faint smile and said, "You guys sure have gained a lot from this trip."

They are indeed high-profile and flamboyant but Lou Fan was observing Tong Fei’s expression so he didn’t pay too much attention to the sensation caused by his team. People who came to pick up people, or people who have just come down from their train are watching them, especially when they see that their spirit weapons looked different. Recently, there is more information about intermediate spirit weapons in Lazuli, so with a glance, they can guess that Lou Fan’s team has intermediate spirit weapons. Immediately, countless envious and jealous gazes came from all directions. It’s like hungry wolves, with a faint green light in their eyes, but also with a hint of timidity.

"Sister Tong Fei, in your last mission..." Lou Fan hesitated, wondering if he should ask.

Tong Fei turned her head to look around and said, "Go back first, I'll talk more about it tomorrow. And I have something to tell you guys as well."

Lou Fan replied with an acknowledgment and turned his head to look at Zhuo Lan. He immediately introduced, "This is Zhuo Lan, the newcomer this time, and the only one who survived. I think she should be very suitable for your organization."

Zhuo Lan looked at Tong Fei nervously. She is rubbing her fingers unconsciously and her palms are sweating slightly. Tong Fei looked her up and down, and she also looked up at Tong Fei.

Tong Fei asked Lou Fan, "Your mission is very difficult this time? Why there’s only 1 survivor left?"

Lou Fan helplessly replied, "I should say that the mission this time is very strange. There are a lot of surprises in the first part, and then the latter is a test of individuals. We can't help much."

Tong Fei nodded and looked at Zhuo Lan, "Then, you come with me. I'll take you to register first, and then we will go to my place so you can see if you want to join me."

Zhuo Lan immediately cheered up, nodding swiftly and saying yes.

Lou Fan and his party separated from the two and they walked back to their residence.

By the time they arrived at their residence, word had spread all over Lazuli that everyone on Qin Tan’s team had an intermediate-level spirit weapon. When the people from several major organizations heard about it, they couldn’t believe it. They thought that the person who obtained the information just saw it wrongly. After receiving a confirmed answer, they looked surprised. They have never heard of such a powerful team in Lazuli before, why did it suddenly appear? Even if there is 1 person with an intermediate spirit weapon in a team, the team will be recruited by their organizations, let alone all 6 members in a team. What a terrifying power this is.

The most important thing is that the premise of upgrading one’s spirit weapon is they need to improve their physique first. Not to mention how lucky one needs to be to get this opportunity, it is practically impossible for a team of 6 people to get this opportunity. After the physique is improved, then it is a matter of upgrading the spirit weapon. This does not mean that one can upgrade their weapon anytime they wanted to upgrade. The correct combination of time, place, and people is indispensable.

So, it brings them back to this question - what kind of team is this? Why are there no rumors at all? It's too scary to appear so suddenly. Who dares to recruit 6 holders of intermediate spirit weapons? Even their organization relies on the fact that they have 2 or 3 intermediate-level spirit weapon passengers to recruit other people to join them. Who has the ability to recruit this group of god-like characters?

When several larger organizations thought about this point, they also felt relieved at the same time. If their organization could not recruit this team, other organizations could not have this opportunity too so it won’t cause any disputes for a while. However, there are significantly more people around the team’s residence after that.
