Alex logged out of the ga and realized that it hadn't actually been that long since he had gone in, only 8 am. It had just felt like it had been a while due to the different people he had t.
'Whatever, I will just eat sothing that will keep full until late afternoon today' he thought. So, he went to the kitchen to get sothing to eat.
"Oh, hey sister. Why are you here so early? Are you cooking lunch?" he asked.
"No, I got your note," she said as she showed the note and said, "it's my day off too, so I decided to take a break and cook the lunch later on," she said.
"Oh, ok."
"Oh yeah, did you ask about tomorrow?" Hannah asked.
"Tomorrow?" Alex was a little confused.
"The party? Will you have free ti to party tomorrow?" Hannah asked.
"Oh, that. Uhh… so many things happened that I forgot to ask. Although we left our sect and are going to the capital city which we will reach tomorrow morning, I think. So I don't know if I will even have ti for the shopping itself, let alone the party," Alex said.
"What? Try to make so ti," Hannah said.
Alex got so food to eat and fill his stomach for the rest of the day. After that, he went back into the ga. He logged into the sa room on the ship. It was getting a bit boring to stay in the room so he walked out of the room to go back to the deck with his master.
'I need to ask her about tomorrow,' he thought.
He opened the door of the room and saw Fan Ruogang dragging the nearly crying Wan Li outside. 'What the… ' he didn't even finish talking when Fan Ruogang saw him.
"Oh hey Mingming, is your headache gone?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah. It's gone," he said reluctantly.
"Oh, then you co too, we are going to play," she said and started dragging Alex with her other hand. She found a relatively spacious place on the deck and sat down.
She made both Wan Li and Alex sit a little further apart.
"Ok so…" Fan Ruogang was about to speak when Zhou i arrived from the side. "ii, co sit and play with us," she said.
Zhou? i looked towards Alex and asked, "What is he doing here?" she asked.
"Mingming? Of course, he is here to play. I brought him here," Fan Ruogang said.
"No, I an he barely passed the core disciple a few days ago, you think he can play your ga?" Zhou i asked. Alex was a bit surprised.
'Just what sort of ga is this?' he wondered.
"He is the sect leader's disciple though, so he should be fit to play this right?" Fan Ruogang asked.
"I don't know. Try to play so and you will know," Zhou i said.
"Alright, you sit too," Fan Ruogang said.
Zhou i nodded and sat down between Wan Li and Fan Ruogang, opposite Alex, and kept staring daggers at him. Alex was getting used to that.
"So, what is this ga? How do we play it?" Alex asked.
"Oh, it's quite simple. So, we take out a pill from our storage and hold it in our closed palm. Then the other people will go around guessing the ingredients, and the one holding the pill will tell if they are correct or not."
"The goal of the ga is to know what the pill is and you can guess it anyti. However, if you guess wrong, you are out for that round, understood?" Fan Ruogang asked.
Alex thought for a bit and nodded. 'That sounds pretty simple,' he thought.
"Alright, I will start," Fan Ruogang said and brought out a pill from her storage bag and quickly hid it in her hand.
"ii, guess," she said.
"Aquatic Berry," Zhou i guessed.
"Haha, No. Wanwan, your turn," Fan Ruogang said.
"Hmm… what about a Curling Dragon root?" Wan Li asked.
"Nope," Fan Ruogang said with a giggle. "Mingming, your turn," she asked.
Alex could look into her hand and see what the pill was, but he decided not to. "Umm, Morning Rose seeds?" he asked.
"Yes. Finally, soone got it," she said. Alex simply smiled. Alex was looking into the recipes of the pills in the Hong Wu sect and choosing the most common ingredients. It was working.
"Spirit Rat Femur?" Zhou i asked.
"No," Fan Ruogang said.
"Uhh… Star Deer guts?" Wan Li asked.
"Yes, good job Wanwan," Fan Ruogang said.
'A pill that uses both Star Deer guts and Morning Rose seeds? There are 4 of them. However, if I narrow it down any further, it will make it easier for them,' Alex thought.
"Spirit ginseng," he chose a random ingredient that didn't align with any of the ingredients in the pills.
"Nope," Fan Ruogang said.
The ga continued as they each said more and more ingredients and soon Alex realized, they were circling around the pills as much as he was.
'No wonder they are top 3 of the sect. They know just as much as, if not more, than ,' Alex thought. He then decided to cheat a little. Suddenly, he went into focus mode.
All of his senses were enhanced in this state and he could do sothing that was nearly impossible for him to do before this. He could sll the pill.
Normally, it was very faint for him, but with focus mode on he could sll the pill all the way from where he was sitting.
'I see, ' he thought.
"Hillside Roses?" Wan Li asked.
"Nah, you guys need to choose better answers, I'm getting bored," she said. "Mingming, please choose a serious answer, okay?"
Ning thought for a second and said, "Is it the Dawn Spirit pill?"
Fan Ruogang forgot to speak for a second and said, "Yes! It is. Finally, soone got it." She turned to Wan Li and Zhou i and said, "You guys couldn't even guess that much? You guys need to study more."
"Alright, let's continue. Whose turn is it now?"
