"R-really, you're giving us this much?" Ten million, huh? How long would it take to earn that? When Li San received the bank card with ten million already deposited from Ren Ying, his hands trembled.
"Is it for too?" Han Shengjun didn't expect that he'd get so as well. Originally, he was just a recently discharged soldier, and with his self-initiated discharge, a large part of his severance was deducted, so he only had a few tens of thousands to his na. He didn't expect that in just a few short days, he'd have ten million?
"Here, Li Kuo..."
"Why give it to ? It's not like I lack money."
"Take it, anyway. Everyone worked so hard this ti, and I don't have anything else to reward you guys with." Xiaofan's expression was a bit bitter. Although this ti they got through it safely, it was because his thoughts weren't thorough enough. They almost had a mishap at Shizhuang in the end, causing Han Shengjun to get injured, though thankfully he was okay.
This was a lesson and also an excellent teaching mont for Xiaofan and his brothers. The experience gained this ti was truly remarkable. Even the elites of Yanhuang Soul might not be able to take down two Red Butterfly bases in just one night with only six people.
"I didn't help you for the money..." At this mont, Lei Xiaolei also spoke up.
"I didn't say you did it for the money. Besides, outsiders earn tens of thousands in a month; how could I treat my friends poorly? Alright, there are a few hundred thousand more under the bed; let's have so fun tonight."
Anyway, everyone got a bank card, one for each person; otherwise, keeping it would be useless. Xiaofan now doesn't even rember what it feels like to lack money.
Thinking back then... yeah, when thinking about the past, Xiaofan's expression plunged into deep mories. No money? So what? Go work, run errands, distribute leaflets. As long as that person was by his side, wasn't he happy every day? But now, with so much money, what's the point? Who knows if I'll even live long enough to spend it all.
"Xiaofan, the data from Shizhuang is out; including Yanjing, there are five sub-bases nearby. Do you want to take any further action?" They imdiately inford Xiaofan of the findings.
"Forget it, Red Butterfly isn't stupid. They probably already relocated while we were returning to the Capital City. Xiaolei, pass the information about these sub-bases to your forr captain. Even if they've moved, they might have left so clues. Have the Yanhuang Soul people check it out; maybe they'll find out sothing." Xiaofan said slowly.
"Alright, I got it."
"Li Kuo... are you still going to school?" Xiaofan asked slowly.
"School? Why go to school? I'd rather stay with you guys. Who knows when I might get targeted by an assassin and be taken out." Li Kuo replied slowly.
"You could go abroad. Plus, it's more convenient to take care of Auntie and Lingxue." Xiaofan continued.
"No, if you really want what's best for , maybe find so ti to teach a few moves so I can defend myself in a crisis." Li Kuo shrugged.
"Yeah, that toothpick-throwing trick of yours, teach that too." Han Shengjun suddenly rembered and added.
"Well, I'm thinking of raising everyone's skills anyway. Let's start in the next couple of days."
After this experience, Xiaofan recognized his and his companions' shortcomings in skill. Individually, Xiaofan was undoubtedly the strongest among them. However, when facing those three opponents, despite having the skill to defeat them, he couldn't gain any advantage in actual combat, just like the last fight with Black Tiger. The cause was their powerful fatal attacks.
However, improving skills isn't sothing that happens overnight. Take Li Kuo, for example — a scholarly STEM guy. To have him mimic Xiaofan by running with lead weights on his legs was incredibly challenging and strenuous for him. He collapsed after less than half an hour, so Xiaofan had to lighten the lead weights.
anwhile, Han Shengjun, keen to learn Xiaofan's toothpick assault technique, struggled with control. Xiaofan could do it easily, but teaching others felt inexplicably difficult for him.
Lastly, there's Li San, Lei Xiaolei, and Ren Ying. They had so basics, so with a bit of guidance, they could grasp so basic moves, but the destructive power still lacked strength.
'Ring ring ring...' A week later, Xiaofan's phone suddenly received a text ssage.
"Tuition and fees? 1,364 yuan? That's strange, didn't I already pay for a year's tuition?" Xiaofan puzzled aloud.
"Oh, that should be for next sester's fees." Nearby, Li Kuo said softly while jogging around the house.
"Next sester? Huh? Is it break already?"
"Didn't you know? Today is already the third day of the university break."
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan was taken aback. It's already break? How did that happen? He ca to the Capital City and barely attended any classes before the break suddenly arrived?
"This is winter break, right? Why don't I feel cold at all?" Xiaofan asked, perplexed.
"The temperature this year is much higher than previous years, and with the air conditioning and heating running so high at ho, you barely step outside; how would you feel the cold?"
At this mont, Xiaofan realized he was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, seemingly unaffected by the cold.
"Yeah, ti flies so fast."
Looking at the date, Xiaofan smiled wryly; his nineteenth birthday had passed over ten days ago, and he hadn't even noticed.
"So, are you guys going ho for the New Year?" Xiaofan suddenly asked loudly.
He thought of his grandpa. He went back every year; though the situation was a bit special this year, Xiaofan still wanted to return to the village.
And as soon as Xiaofan asked the question, he realized sothing was off. How many of them actually had families to go back to?
Li San was an orphan. Li Kuo's father died tragically, and his mother's illness showed no progress. Lei Xiaolei, even less to say. Han Shengjun's only family was his sister, who also went abroad. Finally, it was just him and Ren Ying. Ren Ying was raised by the Ren Family, so that was his ho.
"What if, this year, everyone cos to my house for the New Year? And maybe my old man can give you guys so guidance. Maybe it'll co in handy." Xiaofan suggested.
"Hey, sounds good. It's settled then."
Nobody objected, and they were actually very curious about Xiaofan's ho. Xiaofan didn't expect everyone would agree so eagerly, and that afternoon, they booked tickets to fly to H City.
