Could this be the legendary counter-fighter?

Thinking it over, Xu Shu had no qualms about typing bluntly, "You don’t look perverted at all. Why call yourself ’Lecherous Taoist’?"

"????"

Xie Xiaochan, who had just tidied up her clothes by the lake, was dumbfounded and took a while to respond:

"I’m the ’Seven-color Taoist’! Not ’Lecherous Taoist’! Your mind’s full of filth; seems like my previous advice to you was in vain."

Advise me?

"Oh, I know who you are. You’re the one who called someone a whore in my comment section!"—Gu Pan.

"Cut the crap. I heard you’re now in D8B3 area. That’s perfect; I want to invite you to team up for a ruin run. You already took the photo; surely you can’t refuse me now."—Xie Xiaochan.

"Heard from whom? Was it Pure Sword Heart who told you?"—Gu Pan.

"Yes. How did you know?"—Xie Xiaochan.

"He blocked me after I asked him a question. Oh, so you’re in cahoots?"—Gu Pan.

"That guy is an asshole, don’t bother with him. If it bothers you, I can help you kick him out of the team."—Xie Xiaochan.

"No need to go that far. Has he told you I’m a newbie? You don’t mind?"—Gu Pan.

"I don’t mind. I love to play with newbies. Rest assured, I’ll cover you. Follow my commands and we’ll rush through in six hours and take down the ruins."—Xie Xiaochan.

"What about the entry ticket? I don’t have money to exchange for it."—Gu Pan.

"You only need the team leader to have an entry ticket. You really don’t know anything. I, your sister, will teach you hand by hand. I’ve already called everyone; we’ll gather the day after tomorrow to enter. When can you come? The location is here: Coordinates (3,19)"—Xie Xiaochan.

Hiss...

Xu Shu stroked his chin. She’s that enthusiastic?

It seems I need to reassess the quality of the members of the Human Transcendent Alliance.

Maybe Pure Sword Heart is the one with the lowest standard.

But could this be a trap?

"You’re so enthusiastic; don’t tell me you want to harvest my kidneys?"—Gu Pan.

"What are you talking about? Killing a friend maliciously will make Lie Zhenzi deduct many Contribution Points. If you upload the battle results, you’ll even be wanted by the Astronomy Association. What for?"—Xie Xiaochan.

"There’s that too, but what if you trick me over, delete me as a friend, and then kill me?"—Gu Pan.

"Are you suffering from paranoia or what? We just need a Warrior profession in our team. Just say if you’ll come or not! If not, give me back the photo!"—Xie Xiaochan.

"How about this: send me another photo of you in black stockings. If you do, I’ll come."—Gu Pan.

"...Fuck, you really are a Heavenly Defiant pervert!"—Xie Xiaochan.

[Notification: Xie Xiaochan has sent you a photo.]

Really? Xu Shu opened it up.

Good lord, not only black stockings and long legs, but she, she was also borderline lewd!

Hey, who’s the one claiming not to be lascivious now?!

"Then I won’t be polite. I’ll definitely arrive before noon the day after tomorrow."—Gu Pan.

"Okay, I’ll add you to the team now."

[Notification: Xie Xiaochan has sent a team invitation. Accept? Share location?]

[You joined the team. You declined to share location.]

*Promotion Network

*Gu Pan, First-tier Warrior

*Team: 3

On the border line, Song Nianhui couldn’t help but give Xie Xiaochan a thumbs up.

But having kicked him out just yesterday felt somewhat embarrassing.

To ease the awkwardness, he greeted in the team channel:

"Hello, brother, nice to see you again haha, you can call me Old Song."—Pure Sword Heart.

[System Notification: Your teammate Gu Pan has logged off.]

"..."

The hearty laughter on Song Nianhui’s face suddenly froze.

At this moment, he felt as if Xie Xiaochan was loudly mocking him from behind.

Like a thorn in his back.

...

...

"Indeed, you need to be level 12. The previous leveling difficulties are now easily resolved."

"Going into those ruins to farm monsters, gather Erosion Crystals and Contribution Points with teammates must be safer than being alone. But only by that much."

After booking a ruins instance, Xu Shu had a clearer path on how to quickly improve himself and had already planned it out.

Of course, he’s always cautious, guided by his heart, and wouldn’t blindly trust Xie Xiaochan.

Maybe she’s right, and he has a bit of paranoia now.

He remembers when he first shouldered his knapsack and left the safe zone, innocent as a blank page, never imagining how treacherous the world could be, tormented by the Wasteland.

Today’s paranoia is all forced upon him.

Regardless, Xu Shu would still embark on the journey that day to test the waters.

After assessing the risks, he would make further plans.

One must know that heroes were as numerous as carps crossing the river. In this apocalyptic torrent, it’s no easy feat to stand firm.

Even the Promoting Network’s pinned post stated that even the safe areas weren’t absolutely secure, with humanity’s situation as precarious as a stack of eggs, always at risk of being breached.

The lands shattered, memories scattered, and dark clouds looming! Every day, countless talents rise, and numerous strong fall.

And Xu Shu, merely ranked 414 on the Qingyun List, had no grounds for arrogance.

A cautious mariner never met with disaster!

"However, I have the Tai Chu Scroll. Though it doesn’t guarantee complete safety, it does add a lot of assurance."

"Tomorrow I’ll head back to town, settle my old man’s affairs first, and leave the rest for the future."

"Hmm, what noise is that?"

While silently plotting his next moves, Xu Shu noticed several deep, mournful howls outside—wolves calling.

"Hiss, are monsters already at my door attacking me?"

The heroes of the world sure come too fast!
