After guiding Di Junxiong through the whole set of movents once, Xiao Feng said, "Practice this once every morning and evening from now on. The speed doesn't matter, and it's fine to take breaks if you need to. The most important thing is to complete the entire set."
"Once you can complete the whole set in one go and still have energy left, I'll devise the next stage of training for you."
"Yes, master!" Di Junxiong lay on the ground, sounding very weak, as if he were quite exhausted.
While everyone was training, Xiao Feng went back to his room and called Chen Feihu.
"Hello!" Chen Feihu's deep voice ca through.
Xiao Feng got straight to the point: "Long story short, in the next few days, my phone might not be reachable. If anything cos up, contact Wang Lubo, or soone nad Zhou Jiwen.
If they can't handle it, get in touch with Gong Kaishan. I'll send you his number in a bit."
"Got it. Anything else?"
"That's all."
A few more words, and the call ended.
Xiao Feng sent Gong Kaishan's contact info to Chen Feihu and sat down on the bed, lost in thought.
He was about to set out on an adventure full of unknowns, so naturally, he had to make all the necessary arrangents.
Then there was Iwakami Shigehiro and Uesugi Yumi—those enemies lurking in the shadows, seemingly vanished, who were also not to be underestimated.
Although these people hadn't caused any trouble recently, Xiao Feng understood that their absence didn't an the crisis had passed. On the contrary, it was even more necessary to stay vigilant; letting one's guard down was absolutely inadvisable.
The reason is simple.
The most difficult to deal with are not the formidable foes but the unseen enemies.
They're like venomous snakes in the desert that can strike out of nowhere with lethal intent.
...
After finishing the morning exercise, everyone began packing their own things.
The little girl was seen packing the items she had bought into her backpack, all the while muttering to herself.
"Got the little mirror, butterfly hair clip, and rainbow candy. No need to bring the charger since there's no power anyway..."
Saying this, she looked at the plush Peppa by the bed, took it in her hands, and asked, "Tell , are you going to miss ?"
As she spoke, she put her ear to Peppa's mouth, listened for a mont, then smiled and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Alright then, since you're so sincere, I'll take you with ."
Standing outside the window, Xiao Feng couldn't help but be dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?
However, what baffled him even more was that most of what she packed was useless, and it wasn't just the little girl; even Lu Yao and Lin Zhiyan were doing the sa.
They packed several outfits and even several bags of face masks. This didn't seem like preparing for an adventure at all; it was more like getting ready for a trip.
"Co over here, all of you."
Unable to bear watching any longer, Xiao Feng gathered the little girl and the others together and, with a stern face, said, "Let remind you, this isn't a vacation. Don't you think the things you packed are a bit senseless?"
"No way, these are all essentials. Not a single one can be left out." The little girl earnestly took Peppa out of her bag: "Like this one, if I don't bring it, I won't be able to sleep.
And the rainbow candy, it's very useful when I'm in a bad mood. If I get hurt, just having one in my mouth can significantly reduce the pain."
Xiao Feng nodded: "Alright, these reasons pass, but can you explain why you're bringing so much jewelry?"
"Of course, it's to always show my most beautiful side to brother Xiao Feng." The little girl blinked her big eyes innocently and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"..." Xiao Feng.
Defeated by the little girl's powerful reasons, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the keyboard in Lu Yao's bag: "Doesn't the laptop have a keyboard?"
Lu Yao adjusted her glasses and explained, "It's for practicing finger speed. Like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you fall back. To maintain peak performance, you must practice diligently over ti."
"And what about you?" Xiao Feng pulled out a semi-transparent bag from Lin Zhiyan's bag, pointing at the several packs of white-packaged items inside. "What's in here?"
Lin Zhiyan's eyes flashed with embarrassnt and anger as she retorted, "What do you think?"
Hearing her tone, Xiao Feng paused and, opening the bag, found several packs of pads, clearly not just enough for one person.
For a mont, even with Xiao Feng's ntal fortitude, he couldn't help but feel awkward.
No matter how much space you need to save, you can't just change soone's physiological cycle, can you?
With a couple of dry coughs, he put the items back and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.
He realized that, in the eyes of girls, nothing was unimportant. Whenever they went out, they seed to want to bring their entire hos, and they could justify it openly, too.
But upon careful consideration, it actually made sense.
Because it's not a vacation, and the return date is uncertain, even though Sun Shijie said the cave isn't that large, what if sothing unexpected happens and they're trapped?
Based on this, no amount of preparation is too much!
Just then, Zhao Guo'an ca out of his room: "Old Xiao, are you ready?"
"Almost, what did you pack?" Xiao Feng asked, thinking that if Zhao Guo'an also brought a bunch of useless stuff like Lin Zhiyan and the others, he'd have to give him a good talk to correct his wrong ideas.
Zhao Guo'an replied, "Not much, just a couple of outfits and the rest are food and water."
"Oh." Xiao Feng responded flatly.
But Zhao Guo'an paused for a long mont, then suspiciously asked, "Why do I feel like you're disappointed, or regretful?"
"You're mistaken."
"No, I'm not."
"No!" Xiao Feng shook his head, squatting down slowly, drawing a dagger from his boot, and began to play with it as he said, "You are mistaken!"
Damn it!
Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but be a bit puzzled; was he really being threatened to admit a mistake like this?
"Speak." Xiao Feng softly uttered the word.
"Say, say what?" Zhao Guo'an was a bit unsure of how to react, watching the dagger move back and forth and feeling a chill run down his neck.
Xiao Feng slowly approached and said, "Say you're mistaken."
"..." Zhao Guo'an.
To say, or not to say?
That was the question, but... what the hell was the question!
Why did he always have to face these issues?
Damn, wasn't that just another question?
While thinking this, from the corner of his eye, Zhao Guo'an saw Zhen Jinghan's figure appear at the door.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Guo'an took the initiative to strike up a conversation, for the first ti finding Zhen Jinghan's presence not annoying, as she ca at just the right ti.
Zhen Jinghan raised the large bag in her hand and said, "Aren't you going to take care of business? I specifically bought so things for you... and everyone else."
