Chapter 1337
Bowing one's head
She casually tossed the electric ball toward a nearby abandoned iron target.
"Sizzle—Boom!"
The electric ball struck the iron target, exploding into a burst of electric sparks that charred the target's surface!
"【Electricity Control】! It's the Thunder and Lightning King!"
"What kind of Dharma King is this! He's called 'Lightning Beauty'!"
"That skill is so cool! It even has special effects!"
The team members gasped in amazement once again.
Luo Fei was slightly taken aback when he saw the remaining arc of electricity in Ye Huilin's hand.
This [Electricity Control] ability is priced at a whopping 20,000 Sin Points in his system shop. It is an absolute top-tier elemental attack ability with limitless potential.
"very good!
"Lightning Girl," truly deserving of the name!
Luo Fei smiled and gave her a nickname, and Ye Huilin smiled a little shyly.
"Next, Xu Yahan and Xu Yaqing, you two sisters can go together."
The twin sisters exchanged a glance and walked out together. The younger sister, Xu Yahan, being outgoing, was the first to act.
She made a fist with her right hand, and a ball of orange-red flame appeared out of thin air in her palm, leaping and burning, radiating scorching heat.
With a casual wave of her hand, a fireball flew out, igniting a pile of dry leaves not far away, which then burst into flames.
The older sister, Xu Yaqing, was much quieter. She gently raised her hand, and a stream of water from a training fire bucket next to her rose slowly as if guided by an invisible hand, swirling above her head before condensing into several crystal-clear ice cones that hovered in mid-air, shimmering with a cold light.
"Control the fire! Control the water!"
"The two sisters are a perfect match, one representing fire and the other water!"
"If these two were combined, it would be like experiencing both fire and water; who could withstand that?"
The crowd was mesmerized.
Luo Fei nodded in satisfaction; elemental manipulation was also an extremely powerful combat ability.
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Qinqin.
Jiang Qinqin took a deep breath and stepped forward.
She didn't make any exaggerated movements; she simply took out her phone, unlocked it, opened WeChat Wallet, and then turned the screen towards everyone.
Everyone craned their necks in curiosity, eager to see what earth-shattering abilities this trillion-dollar conglomerate heir would display.
Then... they saw that dizzying string of numbers in their WeChat Wallet balance—7,485,633,292 yuan!
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions... 7,485,633,292 yuan?!
The entire playground fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and gaped, as if frozen in place.
Even Luo Fei, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, couldn't help but twitch his lips. Although he already knew Jiang Qinqin's identity, seeing this string of numbers displayed in this way was still quite impactful.
Several seconds passed before someone finally stammered out a sound.
"Seven...Seventy-four billion?!"
"My God... I've never seen so many zeros in my life..."
"This...this is her superpower? Super rich?"
"Rich guy! Super rich guy! Let's be friends!"
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Jiang Qinqin put away her phone somewhat embarrassedly and explained softly.
"Uh... this is actually just... money in my WeChat wallet."
"Change?!"
Everyone was once again stunned into silence.
Luo Fei clapped his hands, pulling everyone back to reality from their shock at the money.
"Alright, that concludes today's superpower demonstration."
As everyone has seen, our Tianji Youth Group is full of hidden talents; each person possesses unique potential and value.
He paused, glanced at everyone, and announced a decision.
"Given Comrade Jiang Qinqin's outstanding performance in previous missions, her composure and calmness, and her... well, unique resource coordination skills, I have decided to appoint Jiang Qinqin as the deputy leader of our Tianji Youth Group, and also your 'senior sister'! When I am not here, she will be responsible for managing the team's daily affairs and coordination work. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No objections!"
"agree!"
"Greetings, Senior Sister!"
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
Jiang Qinqin's abilities are evident to all, and she has a calm personality and is trustworthy in her dealings with others, making her very suitable to serve as the deputy group leader and senior sister.
Jiang Qinqin herself was also somewhat surprised, but seeing everyone's supportive gazes, she nodded solemnly.
"Thank you, Captain Luo, and thank you everyone for your trust. I will do my best."
At this time, the sun was setting and it was almost 5:30 pm, not far from when the cafeteria would open for lunch.
Jiang Qinqin remembered something, walked over to Luo Fei, and asked in a low voice.
"Luo Fei, those three children... Long Yuxuan and the others, are we just going to let them go like that? Won't they be in danger?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei smiled knowingly and said...
"Qinqin, you need to understand that the National Security Bureau, especially our Tianji Group, is not a public toilet that they can come and go as they please. Since you have chosen to leave, you have to pay a price and go through some tests."
"So... how do you plan to let them leave?"
Jiang Qinqin asked curiously.
Luo Fei pointed to the vast mountains surrounding the training base and said calmly.
“Our training center has a rather unique geographical location. To the east, south, and north, there are more than 300 kilometers of virgin forests with no existing roads. If you go the wrong way, even the most elite wilderness survival experts will have a hard time getting out without supplies.”
He paused, then looked west, in the direction where Long Yuxuan and the other two had left.
The only relatively "easy" route is to the west. It involves crossing about forty kilometers of virgin forest, which theoretically leads to the outer highway.
but……"
Luo Fei's tone carried a hint of mockery.
"This 40-kilometer area happens to be a national wildlife protection base. It houses more than a dozen adult Siberian tigers, tens of thousands of various venomous snakes, as well as packs of wolves, leopards, black bears, and other wild beasts."
Unless those three possess truly extraordinary abilities or are incredibly lucky, otherwise… well…
After hearing this, Jiang Qinqin suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"So you had this planned all along! No wonder you didn't stop them at all. Just thinking about the three of them being chased by tigers and wolves in the jungle... I'm actually kind of... looking forward to it."
She could almost see the three arrogant young masters fleeing in disarray through the jungle, and her smile deepened.
……
Meanwhile, just as Luo Fei and Jiang Qinqin had "expected," Long Yuxuan, Xiao Muyang, and Xie Feiyu were trekking arduously through the primeval forest to the west.
There was no path, only tangled vines, dense bushes, and a thick layer of humus underfoot. They relied on the setting sun to roughly determine their westward direction, and trudged forward, their steps uneven.
"Damn it, what kind of place is this! There isn't even a decent road!"
Xiao Muyang complained as he used a branch to clear away the thorns blocking his path.
"I've been walking for almost an hour, but I feel like I haven't gone very far at all!"
Xie Feiyu was panting heavily, wiping away his sweat. His phone had long lost signal, and he had almost lost track of time.
Long Yuxuan glanced at the empty signal bars on his phone, then looked at the almost identical trees around him, and began to feel uncertain.
He estimated for a moment and then said.
"You should have walked about three or four kilometers by now, right? Hang in there, as long as you're heading in the right direction!"
In reality, they overestimated their speed.
In such complex terrain, they tried their best, but after more than an hour they had only advanced less than three kilometers, and it was still a long way to go before they could leave the protected area.
As darkness fell, the forest grew dim, and strange insect chirps and distant, faint roars of beasts began to rise.
"Gurgle..."
Xie Feiyu's stomach started growling uncontrollably.
"Stop yelling! The more you yell, the hungrier you get!"
Xiao Muyang said irritably, his own stomach was also protesting.
"Sigh... I should have left tomorrow morning."
Xie Feiyu plopped down on a moss-covered rock and sighed.
"At least we've eaten our fill, and we don't have to worry about where we'll sleep at night... In this forest, we're not really going to have to sleep in a tree tonight, are we?"
Xiao Muyang also sighed, a look of regret on his face.
"Who says otherwise... I didn't expect Luo Fei to be so ruthless, kicking us out without any mercy."
Although Long Yuxuan was starting to feel uneasy, as the backbone of the three, he couldn't show his fear.
He forced himself to speak.
"Humph!
"You think this little difficulty can defeat us? Dream on! Once we're out here on my new yacht, I'll give each of you two extra beauties! I guarantee you'll forget all the hardships of today!"
Long Yuxuan's boastful words about yachts and beautiful women sounded so hollow and distant in the vast, desolate, and perilous primeval jungle. Instead of boosting morale, they only highlighted the desolation of the three men's current situation. Xiao Muyang and Xie Feiyu didn't respond, but silently followed Long Yuxuan, trudging forward with uneven steps.
The sky darkened at a visible speed, and the setting sun, which had previously cast dappled light through the layers of tree canopy, had now completely sunk below the horizon, leaving only a blurry dark red on the horizon.
The light inside the forest was quickly swallowed by darkness, visibility shortened drastically, and everything around became indistinct, as if countless unknown dangers were lurking.
"Yu Xuan...are we...are we really on the right track?"
Xiao Muyang's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly. He was already relatively timid, and at this moment he was even more frightened.
"If we go the wrong way, we'll be trapped and die in this forest..."
"Shut up!"
Long Yuxuan interrupted him irritably. Although he himself was not sure, he could not admit it.
"When we came here, the helicopter flew in from the west. I've been watching it the whole time! The direction is definitely right! It's just that this road... is too difficult to travel!"
He was telling the truth; he did pay attention to the flight direction while on the helicopter.
However, theoretical direction and actual practice are two completely different things.
There were no paths, only tangled vines, slippery moss, intertwined tree roots, and thick bushes that needed to be parted by hand.
"Ouch!"
Xie Feiyu cried out in pain, raised his arm, and with the last bit of daylight, several thin, long cuts could be seen on his bare forearm, made by the sharp edges of the grass blades, which stung painfully.
"Are all the grasses in this godforsaken place covered in knives?"
He had previously taken the initiative to replace Xiao Muyang, who was physically exhausted, to lead the way, but he didn't expect the job to be so difficult.
"I'll do it!"
Seeing this, Xiao Muyang gritted his teeth, walked forward, rolled up his sleeves, and used his arms to clear away the weeds and thorny vines blocking his way.
With a soft "sizzle," a sharp splinter hidden under a leaf instantly sliced open a gash about an inch long on his forearm, and blood immediately seeped out.
"hiss--!"
Xiao Muyang gasped in pain.
"Are you alright, Mu Yang?"
Xie Feiyu asked with concern from behind.
Xiao Muyang was about to complain when he suddenly froze, looking down at the wound on his arm.
The bleeding wound, which was originally bleeding, strangely stopped on its own, and the skin and flesh at the edge of the wound were visibly wriggling and contracting!
In just a few seconds, the inch-long gash disappeared! Only a little bit of blood that hadn't dried yet remained, proving that there had been an injury.
"this……?!"
Long Yuxuan, who had been keeping an eye on what was happening behind him, suddenly stopped, grabbed Xiao Muyang's arm, and brought it close to his eyes for a closer look.
In the dim light, he could see clearly—the obvious wound from before had actually vanished into thin air! His skin was smooth, without even a scar!
"What happened? Where's the wound?"
Long Yuxuan asked with surprise and uncertainty.
Xiao Muyang was also a little dazed. He subconsciously used a blade of grass with sharp thorns next to him to gently scratch his other intact arm.
A new bloodstain appeared.
Then, under the wide-eyed gaze of Long Yuxuan and Xie Feiyu, the bloodstain was wiped away as if by an invisible eraser. Its color faded rapidly, the flesh twitched slightly, and in less than ten seconds, it returned to its original state, leaving only a barely perceptible red mark!
"I...I think..."
Xiao Muyang looked at his perfectly intact arm and murmured.
"I seem to have... the ability to heal quickly?"
"Rapid healing?!"
Long Yuxuan and Xie Feiyu exclaimed in unison.
Xiao Muyang tried hard to recall.
"It seems...it seems so. I remember once when I was little, I was in a car accident and was unconscious for a few minutes. When I woke up, apart from my clothes being torn, I had no injuries at all, which the doctors found very strange. Usually, I get minor bumps and scrapes, and they heal quickly, so I don't pay much attention to them...but when I get injured, it still hurts! And it seems like I can't control it. For example, when I have surgery, the wound will still heal, and I can't stop it..."
Xie Feiyu immediately grasped the key point and pressed for an answer.
"What if you get sick and need surgery? If the wound heals on its own but the underlying problem isn't resolved, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"
Xiao Muyang thought for a moment and said uncertainly.
"This... seems like it can be controlled? I'm not quite sure, I've never had a serious illness..." (End of Chapter)
