Official Identity

Chapter 107 Official Identity (8k)

That night, at 19:50 PM.

Qiao Yuan, wearing transparent gloves, toyed with the white cross he had obtained effortlessly.

There are quite a few cracks, but it still feels good to the touch and doesn't feel like it would break if you squeezed it.

I'll look at it later.

We need to act quickly.

Because my baby called my phone.

He neither hung up nor answered the call; he simply muted the phone.

But the baby quickly locates him and rushes over like crazy!

What did this guy just say?

Although I've gotten somewhat used to the smell here, I still wrinkled my nose.

He now looked down at Jim as if he were an insect that could be crushed at will.

A cultist who had reached the fourth level of ascension, having exhausted all means, was so weak that he begged him for help.

Even ten minutes ago, this was something he could hardly have imagined.

He gestured for Jim to stay still with his green fire greatsword, then moved behind him, put on gloves, and swiftly snatched the Night Mask from Lambert's arms.

It's alright, the other party didn't see it.

Jim was panting heavily. When he came back to him, he pulled out a brass key: "I didn't move, please don't kill me."

I also have many antiques, as well as an angel's relic, hidden in St. William's Cathedral on Luke Street in the Willen New District.

"An angel's relic?"

Qiao Yuan smiled enigmatically. He had never touched the relics before, and the first substitute was also a coincidence.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in the main city, I gained a lot from these cultists.

"Yes, it's true. Take it, please don't kill me, I can help you!"

Qiao Yuan used the brass key as an anchor point to travel to the past timeline.

In an instant, he found himself back a week earlier.

It was the afternoon of August 27th.

Qiao Yuan stood beneath the gates of St. William's Cathedral, where the towering pointed archway stretched over twenty meters. A benevolent and holy two-winged angel served as the lintel, its wings drooping to guard the entrance.

The church is a standard Gothic building, with a gray and white exterior wall full of reliefs and vertical stained glass windows, which seems a bit out of place with the surrounding modern, high-tech floating buildings.

The people entering and leaving the church were all clergy and nuns dressed in black robes; I didn't see any outsiders.

He glanced at the sign next to him and learned that the place was only open to tourists on Saturdays and Sundays.

In contrast to the understated exterior, the interior is opulent, decorated with brass and gold plating, and depicts a scene of rain falling from the sky.

He recalled that day during military training, when, because of the heavy rain, Instructor Zhou made them do free squats.

He still has a deep impression of that day. On his way home that night, he was attacked by the hair-tied boxers sent by Veronica at the Jiangnan Building.

Charlie then delivered a flying kick to block the boxer's attack and chased him away.

Now, beside him are Jim and Sophia, who have just put away their black umbrellas.

Sofia, who has already died, remains alive in this past timeline.

Sophia, dressed in her nun's habit, which accentuated her ample hips, looked at Jim with a puzzled and disappointed expression and said, "Why did we have to come to the church? This isn't a secret monastery; there are too many people here."

"You don't understand." Jim shook his head slightly.

"Then tell me!"

Jim didn't respond directly. He went through his routine full-body scan at the door, then walked through the pointed archway and exchanged a slight nod with another white-haired church colleague next to him.

Compared to the simplicity of the exterior of the church, the interior of the magnificent church is quite splendid.

The floor features a gold-plated marble pattern that reflects the brass and silver plating on the surrounding walls, creating a jewel-like sheen.

Especially the colorful oil paintings on the ceiling depicting the ancient Greek gods, and looking out, the church floor seems like a crystal palace reflected in the water.

Qiao Yuan stayed by Jim's side the whole way.

Jim said to Sophia, "I'm going to die sooner or later, so I'll take someone down with me. This is the perfect place, a one-way street, hehehehe."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"To be honest, there are more bones on this road than you and I have eaten salt."

"We never see our master; we're just learning lowly, crippling techniques to maintain our status."

"Stop talking!" Sophia said nervously.

"Why don't we speak? I long to see my master, every moment, day and night, but our great master has abandoned us—"

Qiao Yuan frowned.

A trap?

A guy who planned to drag his enemies down with him before he died turned out to be a cunning old fox.

However, a messenger from hell who always feels he's about to die is quite interesting.

What he didn't expect was that this messenger of hell couldn't see Satan. No wonder he could hold the cross for so long without anything happening.

He continued walking without making a sound. Since he was already here, he might as well take a look.

Gradually, they arrived at the back of the church, stepping onto the bright yellow oak plank corridor, and entered a simple priest's room.

At this point, he finally saw the other person take out the brass key and gently insert it.

Qiao Yuan was initially puzzled; were they still using such an outdated method of unlocking locks these days?

Until he noticed three red lights, each the size of a soybean, on the lock.

Furthermore, I saw Jim loosen the brass key, letting it twist and turn rapidly, moving left and right, up and down.

Huh, what's this?

Qiao Yuan gradually remembered that he had seen it on TV before. It was a special kind of high-tech key lock with an automatic decryption program. It had a complex program embedded in it and needed to be deciphered in a way similar to Morse code. It was very secure and would trigger an alarm once detected.

As the three lights on the door lock turned green, Jim finally pushed the titanium alloy door open and went inside with a click.

Qiao Yuan walked around inside but found nothing, which should be Jim's public identity.

But inside the room stood a robot clad in red samurai armor, over two meters tall, and imposingly majestic.

Like a robot butler in a priest's room, or some kind of collectible.

At this point, he finally understood that if it wasn't Jim who entered the room, even if he had the key to open the door, he would still be caught off guard and attacked by the samurai robot.

Furthermore, the priest's room door was locked, and an alarm was sounded throughout the church.

If the robot is outmatched, it will initiate a self-destruct sequence, perishing together with the intruder.

So cunning! The epitome of cunning!

[Having learned of the hiding place of Hellbringer Jim Lewis and gained absolute initiative, I accelerated the digestion of the Pioneer Potion, just six more attempts to advance to the first tier of the Celestial Pioneer [Breakthrough Limit]]

Seeing the message that suddenly popped up, Qiao Yuan finally smiled. Tonight had been quite fruitful.

This scene truly exemplifies the bittersweet nature of fortune: the treasure is fake, the clues about the angel's relics are fake, but the hiding place is real.

It's worth it.

For him, the most important thing now is to advance to the second tier as soon as possible and gain new sequence abilities.

Oh, and also, once the first-tier limit is broken, the ability to remember the beacon can evolve once more.

Each stage has one main ability, and each main ability can evolve four times.

Also, I'll be at level 20 in physique soon.

This level 20 physique is not only bulletproof, but also surprisingly tough in actual combat. Although enemies can break through it in various ways, it still provides an extra layer of protection.

He was now listening to Jim and Sophia's nonsense and witnessing a sexual encounter.

Uh, I guess he does it often.

Qiao Yuan then wandered around the rest of St. William's Cathedral. It was all pretty much the same; many rooms were inaccessible, and the accessible areas were all public spaces.

He chose to go back.

More than 20 minutes had passed, which was only a moment in reality. Jim was still pleading for the key, but he already knew everything.

Qiao Yuan's gaze was indifferent, like a stagnant pool of water, showing no ripples and no interest in mockery.

Because Ember will be taking over next, he will likely extract the other party's memories.

As the saying goes, do things without leaving a trace.

It's not just about wearing gloves to pick up the cross; there are many seemingly insignificant but crucial details. It's only proper to leave no stone unturned, just like when he took Lambert's mask and threatened him beforehand not to move.

Time to answer the baby's call.

He slowly stood up, tapped his phone, and the baby's anxious cries quickly came through.

"We told you not to do anything reckless. We've already locked onto him; this guy next to you is extremely dangerous!"

"But he just saw me."

"That won't do! Get out now! I'm only ten meters away from you, nine meters—"

Jim's last hope was extinguished. He closed his eyes in pain, then roared and spurted out a large amount of blood and worms from his wounds, wanting to die together with the boy who looked like a cop in front of him!

Qiao Yuan retreated again and again, holding out until Yan Baobao flew down in her mecha suit, before fiercely throwing out the green fire greatsword in his hand.

He could have attacked directly, but this is more reasonable since he dodged all the blood and didn't deplete his Stand's durability.

Jim, who had suffered his fatal blow, was not dead yet, and his condition was deteriorating further. All the blood-red worms squeezed under his skin and wriggled violently, actually supporting him as he stood up!

Qiao Yuan was taken aback.

He was merely seeking the rationality of things, but unexpectedly gained new insights.

"die!"

The scolding from the baby outside the garbage dump felt like a bolt of lightning flashing before Qiao Yuan's eyes.

In an instant, more than a dozen silver-white sword lights flashed, and when they landed, it was the graceful figure of Bao Bao holding a silver-white longsword.

Just as Jim was about to strike, nineteen blood lines appeared all over his body, and with spurting blood, he suddenly turned into a pool of fragments.

It crashed to the ground with a thud.

Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up; it seemed that the baby's swordsmanship was in no way inferior to his fist skills.

They're all incredibly strong.

Sergei and Jiang Xiaohan, who were following closely behind, both seemed to breathe a sigh of relief from the outside.

Just now, Yan Baobao, who was on a mission, was frantically searching for Qiao Yuan like a madwoman.

Originally, Yan Baobao and Director Fan should have been the first to arrive at the crime scene.

They had never seen their baby so anxious.

"All you do is show off!" Yan Baobao turned around and looked at Qiao Yuan with annoyance. "What if you die?"

"He's talking nonsense again."

"Hmph!" Baby puffed out her pale, oval face.

Qiao Yuan's eyes were filled with tenderness: "Sigh, you're right, it's all my fault, making the baby worry every day."

Yan Baobao continued to huff arrogantly, then couldn't help but step forward and touch Qiao Yuan's arm: "Are you hurt? Don't do that again next time."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, baby." Qiao Yuan smiled broadly. "I'm fine. When I found him, he was on the verge of death, but when I answered your call later, he suddenly sprang to life again—"

"It's my fault," Yan Baobao sighed, "He must have thought you were a member of the Embers."

"Silly girl, how could I blame you?" Qiao Yuan shook his head and said, "My baby is the best."

"So, will you listen to your sister or not?"

"Listen!" Qiao Yuan laughed.

At this point, Yan Baobao finally smiled, a very sweet smile.

The care she showed him in her beautiful eyes was like something she cherished most, something she absolutely could not lose.

Sergei, with his black hair and freckles, stepped forward with a smile and said to Qiao Yuan, "It's good that you're alright. You've done a great service today, a super great service."

Jiang Xiaohan also came in: "Yes, we caught several cultists when we arrived. On the first basement floor, we even obtained a trace of God's power. Director Fan just said that he wants to meet with you later."

"Haha, you have no idea how excited Director He was just now. Such a merit is very rare," Sergei said with emotion. "It's fortunate that Director Fan stepped in this time, otherwise the branch office here would probably have taken the credit."

Qiao Yuan smiled faintly: "Luck. I originally intended to leave directly, but I stumbled upon this by accident, haha."

This time, he and Sergei walked out of the garbage station chatting and laughing, and sat down to rest by the tracks.

Sergei said with envy, "Your sister is so kind. She was looking for you like crazy just now, which scared us all. We were afraid she might do something impulsive."

"I wish I had a sister like that. It's a pity I'm an only child. Haha, I used to envy those with siblings when I was in school."

Qiao Yuan coughed and said, "It's all my fault."

Sergei waved his hand and said, "Actually, I can understand. Who doesn't want to be a hero? Hahaha."

"When I joined Ember, I came with the goal of becoming a hero, only to find that there were many experts around."

"But my goal has never changed: first become the team leader, then the bureau chief, hahaha!"

Qiao Yuan listened quietly to Sergei's bold words. He quite liked them. Although the world was rather dark, it was precisely because of this that a new generation was needed to stand up.

He spoke seriously, "Yes, you've reached level three so quickly, your goal isn't too far off."

"Haha, we have to thank you for that. These past few days you've been supplying us with big cases like beans falling from the sky, either killers or cult members." Sergei said, taking out his phone: "This is my number. You can call me if you ever get into trouble. We're friends."

"Okay," Qiao Yuan agreed without hesitation, then dialed the number and exchanged numbers.

Veronica is probably watching him from some hidden spot nearby right now.

Humph.

That's truly a great achievement.

A short while later, Sergei took him to a saucer-shaped hovercar parked outside the Red Moon Boxing Gym. It was a similar vehicle to the one used when Caesar was captured. Inside the cabin was a conference room, with armories and containment rooms on either side.

Sergei then went to the boxing gym with Bao Bao and Jiang Xiaohan. Currently, the area in front of the gym is filled with a large number of customers being evacuated, crowding the sidewalk. The entire Red Moon Boxing Gym has been completely sealed off.

Six flying saucer-shaped vehicles arrived, their dense police lights filling the surrounding area, replacing the neon lights.

There was no one in the car at the moment, but outside, there were five Ember members maintaining order.

They all nodded slightly upon seeing him; they had seen him before at the Tiandu branch.

Qiao Yuan nodded and greeted them one by one.

The curtain finally fell, and he tallied his gains: a cross, three Kingdom Pacts, a mask of night, and a breakthrough—such a bountiful night was rare.

He then took out the crucifix.

This relic is simple.

Simply pick it up and place it on your chest, and the corresponding information will pop up directly.

[Relic: Protector's Cross.]

[Rank: Third-order lawful side.]

"Effect: A blessing from God, capable of instantly transferring any harm suffered to the cross, allowing it to bear the pain in their place."

[Characteristic: The cross itself possesses holiness and can illuminate the path ahead in darkness.]

[Available uses: 2.]

Qiao Yuan watched quietly. To be honest, it was very little, but there was no other way. If it weren't for Jim's duel with Lambert, he probably could have used it four or five more times. However, this Cross of Protection could be combined with the Kingdom Agreement to create a set of ultimate life-saving techniques that belonged only to him, which was still very appealing.

Before I knew it, I had three relics on me, and they were exactly at the first, second, and third tiers.

In addition, he discovered two very interesting phenomena. The first was the final battle between Jim and Lambert. As an ice and snow sequence user, Jim rarely used ice and snow abilities, but instead used flesh and blood magic.

Lambert, on the other hand, consistently used the Mist Sequence ability to defend against attacks.

Another point is that the power of the Hell Tantric sect is indeed far removed from Satan, and may be similar to the Mother of Night, sleeping, or something else.

After all, it's absurd for a messenger of hell to carry a cross from heaven.

Tonight, besides the relics and the Heavenly Kingdom Agreement, he also gained a great deal from the Hellish Secret Cult and mastering the First Transformation. This kind of hands-on experience is a hundred times better than his practice at school!

There's another point, which is the power of the Kingdom of Heaven Protocol. Although the description says it will burn, it should also be affected by the ascended rank.

Just like relics are classified into different ranks.

However, he doesn't seem to be able to directly verify his conjecture at the moment.

Even using it as an anchor point to enter the past or future is difficult.

wrong.

Entering the past shouldn't be a problem, but the past has nothing to do with him.

What is shown is only a trace, while what existed in the past was the protocol itself.

As for the future—

This is not an ongoing event, nor is it something that happened around us.

This is just one of his guesses.

When he is in control of the spiritual atom, he can see his future changes because he is in the process of mastering the spiritual atom. It is normal for him to fight against others, encounter crises, and search for clues through objects.

But this is just a conjecture for him; he has not used the power of the Kingdom Protocol.

Therefore, it cannot be used as an anchor point.

It's not a big problem, because we just saw it there. Even a fourth-level Jim would be burned to death if he didn't take out his cross.

As for Simon, he felt he needed to first learn about the third phase of the Night Project.

It cannot be confirmed at this time that this is only Simon's plan.

Is there anyone else who knows?

He didn't want to kill Simon and then benefit others; he didn't intend for this to go on forever.

This matter is too big, and its impact is even greater, requiring careful consideration.

Looking at the brilliant nighttime scenery of Silver Moon City, Qiao Yuan realized that it had been exactly one month.

Today is October 3rd.

Just a month ago, on August 3rd, he was still in the dark surveillance room of the Forgotten Rebirth Hotel.

Timelines are not yet in use.

The white rose hasn't arrived yet, the substitute's relics haven't been obtained, and nothing has happened yet.

They just continued their daily grind, getting polluted from outside the city every day, desperately seeking fresh air and a filter for impurities.

Wow, that was fast!

A month has flown by in the blink of an eye.

It also seemed very slow. In this short month, he experienced a great deal, seemingly more than in the previous ten years combined.

Whether it was Zhou Ye's conspiracy, Caesar's creation of the Last Day Catastrophe, or Granny Xu's departure.

Or the subsequent encounters with murderers, killers, and cult members—

During the ten days of military training at Galaxy University, I met Tu Shanlin, Captain He, Director Fan, Jack, Sergei, as well as Simon and Veronica.

And finally, they came into contact with just the tip of the iceberg of this world, the secrets of the Mother of Night.

He has grown and become stronger.

It truly is a case of the past fading like smoke.

Qiao Yuan sighed as he sat on the sofa, his future path becoming increasingly clear.

About twenty minutes later, Yan Baobao and the dinner party walked out of the boxing gym, accompanied by Captain He, Sergei, Jiang Xiaohan, Paul, and others.

After Director Fan got into the car, Qiao Yuan stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of my sister, Director."

"You're too kind, Qiao Yuan." Director Fan also brought an assistant, the horse-faced burly man who had driven for Director Fan earlier, who was also at the fifth level of aura.

At this moment, she spoke gently: "Today, everyone will rely on your report. Considering your contributions over the past few days, I was just thinking of inviting you to join the Ember Bureau, but Yan Baobao is very concerned about your personal safety. However, it is still necessary."

With a smile on his lips, Director Fan authorized the use of the holographic screen in the conference room to display a formal official contract.

Qiao Yuan looked over, quite surprised.

Yan Baobao walked over to him and said, "If you don't like it, you don't have to sign it. It's okay, it's all up to you."

Amidst the smiles of Sergei, Captain He, and others, Qiao Yuan carefully examined the contract.

Wow! An clerk named Yu Jin?

[This Ember status was specially approved by Director Fan Min of the Tiandu Branch Bureau in Sunset District, the third main city of Silvermoon City. After signing the contract, you can report to the Tiandu Branch Bureau at any time within the next year. Within the first three months of officially joining the company, you have the right to freely change jobs once and can become a combat member of the Ember Bureau at any time. (If the reporting period exceeds one year, or if more than three months have passed since you joined the clerical position, you need to submit a re-approval application to the Sunset District Ember Headquarters.)]

"Furthermore, after signing the contract, you will be able to participate in combat missions authorized by Captain He (participation time is not mandatory, you can choose for yourself, and it will not be considered a report; all your experience will be synchronized to your personal file.)"

Qiao Yuan was very surprised at this moment.

Needless to say, it's clear that Director Fan values ​​and respects him highly.

In fact, it's quite normal. Starting with the Caesar case, he helped the Tiandu branch solve many, many major cases, and the targets were invariably either killers or cult members.

I remember when we first came to the main city, Captain He was only pursuing Lin Xuan, and he kept running into obstacles with his entire squad, even though Lin Xuan was indeed very strong.

However, it cannot be denied that his appearance directly boosted efficiency to the maximum, so that the Tiandu Branch no longer needed to conduct a large number of search operations.

Responding to a call is a great achievement!

Receiving a tip-off is a meritorious act!

Who wouldn't like it? Even he himself sometimes feels that it is indeed very suitable.

But why should you put in the effort if you can enjoy it?

He has plenty of money, and he also has the Mask of Night to exploit bugs and achieve breakthroughs.

Baby became a member of the Embers because it perfectly suited her Destiny King sequence, allowing her to accelerate potion digestion and steadily increase her strength.

But most importantly, the baby has such perpetual energy, always full of vitality.

He doesn't need to.

However, the director is the director, and his ideas are far more far-sighted than theirs.

This contract is great.

A one-year grace period is ample time for him to make a decision, and it also serves as a year-long guarantee that he can join at any time.

They can also occasionally participate in some of Captain He's and his team's missions, and that doesn't count as reporting.

It's equivalent to tacitly helping out by the authorities.

It is indeed very free; in itself, it is a very high level of authority.

Qiao Yuan took a deep breath, turned to look at Director Fan with utmost seriousness, and said, "Thank you, Director Fan. My baby is indeed very worried about me. I do lack strength at the moment, after all, I am only a pioneer."

"I can feel Director Fan's sincerity from this contract, and I will definitely come when the time is right."

In an instant, He, Sergei, Jiang Xiaohan, and Paul all smiled even more brightly.

Yan Baobao breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had planned to bring Qiao Yuan along on the mission when she was outside the city, she found that the threat here was much greater than outside the city after entering the main city.

Therefore, she does not want Qiao Yuan to join her for the time being.

At this moment, Director Fan nodded slightly: "It's not like we're meeting for the first time, don't be so polite, come and sit down."

She gestured for Qiao Yuan to sit down at the conference table, then smiled and said, "It's enough that you understand my intentions; it wasn't for nothing that I gave you special permission."

Qiao Yuan scratched his head sheepishly, and then on the holographic screen, he went through a very rigorous process of signing an employment contract, including DNA code verification, iris verification, fingerprint verification, and uploading identity information, which was quite tedious.

About five minutes later, it officially became an Ember Clerk awaiting employment!

The final step is to personally report to the Tiandu Branch.

3177年9月3号至3178年9月3号期间全程生效，任意时间都可以前往。

At the same time, a line of light gold text appeared on his DNA identity information.

"Ember Clerk (to be reported)."

He licked his lips, feeling cool. This was so easy, far beyond his expectations.

It's important to know that getting into the Embers is very difficult. You need to go through a preliminary selection process, followed by an interview—there are strict standards for physical condition, ability, mental fortitude, and energy.

Just by signing a contract, his credit score increased by 100 points. With this great achievement, he gained another 100 points, bringing his credit score to 1230.

The reward for this report is also very generous, a full 20 yuan.

It's usually 5, 5.

Moreover, according to Director Fan's explanation, all of his whistleblowing achievements have been recorded in his file, which will be an outstanding resume if he goes to other places in the future.

That's fantastic.

At this moment, Captain He walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't feel pressured. The most important thing is to study hard. You're welcome to come anytime."

Qiao Yuan nodded with a smile: "Congratulations to Captain He on advancing to the fourth level of sublimation."

"Haha, I've been struggling to reach the third-tier breakthrough, and that's all thanks to you."

"I told them long ago that you are the lucky star of our Sixth Squad, the lucky star of our Tiandu Branch, and the lucky star of Director Fan. In just over ten days, the number of major cases we have solved is not only the envy of other squads, but also the envy of the Baiyun Branch next door and the Saintess Branch in the Weilen New District."

As He spoke, Paul, Sergey, and others nodded frequently, creating a joyful atmosphere.

The hovercar had already started moving. Qiao Yuan sat next to Director Fan, smiling and occasionally chiming in. He had become a core member of this big family.

However, they also arrested quite a few people, and they will need to interrogate them next, so this is a brief respite for them.

Qiao Yuan got off the car at the entrance of the Tiandu Branch and chatted with Bao Bao for a while.

"I'm fine. I'm going home to take a shower, and then I bought some gene enhancement fluid. I want to reach level 20 physique as soon as possible."

"Okay, if you're tired today, go to bed early. I'll probably be home very late tonight. We've arrested ten cult members."

"Okay, I'll head back then."

Qiao Yuan waved to the baby and hailed a taxi on the roadside.

When he arrived at Jiangnan Mansion, he habitually bought some fruit to take home.

The baby loves to eat it, and he loves to eat it too.

Summer has passed. I bought seedless watermelons grown in greenhouses, as well as multi-generational Golden Pillow durians and sliced ​​cantaloupes.

After arriving home, Qiao Yuan took out the bone gene enhancement fluid worth 200,000 yuan; it was time to use it.

After he finished drinking, he wiped his mouth and went to take a shower.

Half an hour later, while blow-drying his hair, the gene enhancement fluid only increased his level by 0.7, a direct reduction of half.

But that's not bad either; it was 17.4 before, and now it's directly increased to 18.1.

Getting closer and closer.

He felt the soreness in his bones and the further increase in his strength, and then went to the living room to practice the Canghai Jin.

Time passed slowly, and before dawn, he had upgraded Cang Haijin to the 85th floor.

The 100th floor is just around the corner.

He was in high spirits, as for the first time, he was about to reach a new level and a new height in terms of advancement, physique, and ancient martial arts.

As for mastering the first transformation, let's talk about that during the day. There's no rush. He has already gained a great deal from tonight's practical observation.

When the baby got home, she exclaimed, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Aren't you sleepy?"

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you."

Yan Baobao's cheeks immediately flushed red, and she bit her lip, saying, "Silly boy, go to sleep."

"Goodnight, baby." Qiao Yuan had indeed developed a habit of doing this every day, and—it was probably impossible for him to break the habit.

"Mmm, goodnight Yuan." The baby's eyes were quickly drawn to the durian and watermelon: "I'll eat some fruit, take a bath, and go to sleep."

"

The following day, September 4th, Thursday.

Qiao Yuan had just gone out with her baby when she realized that tomorrow would be Friday. Time flies.

He felt that the best thing about going to university was that you had two days off every week.

Unlike high school, there's no need for crazy martial arts training or extra classes. You can have a real vacation with complete freedom, like sleeping all day or playing games all night.

This morning, the baby was dressed in a stylish black and white baseball uniform and brown high-top sneakers, making her already 1.7-meter-tall figure look even more slender.

"You need to at least catch up to my level before you can enter the Embers, understand?"

Qiao Yuan shook his head: "I'm actually not interested, unless the baby needs my help someday."

"Okay," Yan Baobao smiled, her eyes narrowed.

When they arrived at school, ten minutes before 8 a.m., Tu Shanlin wagged her big tail, blushed, wrote him a note, and gently pushed it towards him.

Qiao Yuan curiously took it and found that it only had five words written on it: "I brought it today~"

He thought about it and realized what was happening.

Two days ago, he asked Tu Shanlin why he was so talented that he had only reached the second level of sublimation. Tu Shanlin said he wanted to show him an item, but he forgot to bring it yesterday.

He borrowed a pen from Hutu, wrote two words, "Great!", and then handed it back.

Immediately afterwards, Tu Shanlin seemed to write a few more words and handed them back to him.

The handwriting on the paper was still so beautiful, absolutely gorgeous: "Hehe, I'll tell you at noon."

Hu Tu stared in disbelief, realizing that people were secretly passing messages on slips of paper, just like in ancient times.

What year is this eve?
