Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

As his fingertips brushed against the pouch embedded in his belt, Fang Rui muttered to himself and continued along the original route.

Because it was difficult to determine his location and to avoid getting lost in the lush forest, Fang Rui proceeded in a straight line. After all, the forest had boundaries, and as long as he kept moving in one direction, he would eventually get out.

There's no need to worry about wasting time; he moves very quickly and carries plenty of supplies, so he won't have to worry about going hungry for at least a month.

It's a pity he didn't have an outdoor camping tent!

This is another problem; I need to write it down!

Chapter 34 The Conversation Between Lü Huan and Fang Rui

The next day, you will receive +100 virtual currency.

At 9:30 a.m., on a roadside in the wilderness, a few sparse low trees were scattered around, and the overgrown weeds were half withered and half green, with a faint scent of grass and trees in the cool mountain breeze.

Beside one of the trees, Fang Rui reached into his waist pouch with his right hand and took out a few phages. His eyes swept over the numbers on the surface of the phages, and he kept phages number one and two, putting the rest back into his waist pouch. Then he zipped up the waist pouch.

The first food pouch contains food and water, while the second food pouch contains cooking utensils and some other cooking tools.

First, they took out a talisman-style gas stove, a talisman-style faucet, a ceramic pot, two stainless steel soup pots (one large and one small), scissors, a wooden spoon, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the No. 2 Devouring Pouch. Then, they took out noodles, sliced ​​braised beef, a seasoning packet, and a portable refrigerator from the No. 1 Devouring Pouch.

As the portable refrigerator was opened, wisps of cold air wafted out, and cucumbers and other vegetables wrapped in plastic wrap came into view.

"You are very well prepared."

For a moment, Lü Huan didn't know what to say, but praised him in an inexplicable tone.

"So-so," Fang Rui said modestly.

After all, several mistakes were discovered last night, and Fang Rui believed there was still room for improvement. However, from Lü Huan's perspective, it was a completely different matter; excessive modesty was hypocrisy.

With such thorough preparation, why say it's just so-so?

╭(╯^╰)╮Hmph!

Lü Huan took the portable outdoor folding stool handed to her, and while unfolding it, said indifferently, "Is that so?"

Unaware of the barbed undertone in Lü Huan's words, Fang Rui set up the table and added, "During this operation, I discovered some oversights, which made me realize that my preparations were still insufficient."

Lü Huan: "…………" How am I supposed to respond to that?

Fortunately, Fang Rui did not continue to talk about the matter. He picked up the talisman tap and filled the small soup pot with water, and instructed Lü Huan: "Take some bok choy out of the refrigerator and wash it."

As he spoke, Fang Rui sat on the folding stool, looking down at his phone, completely ignoring Lü Huan across the table.

Hey! What kind of attitude is that?!

Even if I cooperate fully, you can't forget who I am!

I was kidnapped by you! Show me some respect!

Get your attitude right as a kidnapper!

Watch out, I might run away!

Lu Huan mentally ranted, while wondering why Fang Rui was treating her this way, so she asked, "Hey, aren't you worried I'll run away?"

"I'm not particularly worried."

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui, who was playing on his phone, didn't look up and said in a calm tone, "First of all, given your current situation, you definitely won't go home..."

Lu Huan nodded slightly in agreement. There were unknown numbers of enemies hiding in Lu Family Village, and they were targeting her. She would not return to Lu Family Village until she could ensure her own safety.

"Secondly, you wouldn't dare join other forces. If an unknown force can infiltrate Lüjia Village, then it can also infiltrate other forces."

Lü Huan shared the same opinion.

The Lü family, who possess the Minghun Technique, is one of the most difficult forces to infiltrate, yet they were still infiltrated by an unknown force, which is enough to prove how powerful that unknown force is.

Therefore, she dared not join other forces, or even make herself famous, because that would attract hidden enemies, and she didn't want to test how many assassination attempts she could escape.

"Finally..." Fang Rui put away his phone, looked up at Lü Huan and said, "With your strength, you have no way to escape from me."

Even though it's the truth, why do I get so angry when I hear it?

Upon hearing this, Lü Huan forced a smile, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Oh, right..." Fang Rui added, "You can call your family to let them know you're safe."

"Hmm?" Lü Huan looked surprised.

"Don't look at me like that. Although the method I used wasn't the best, I'm still your savior. Besides, I came to you to treat your illness. I never intended to kill you. What's wrong with letting you let your family know you're safe?"

"Is there a problem? I think there's no problem."

After a pause, Fang Rui added, "Of course, I suggest you be sensible and not try anything funny."

"If you hadn't added that sentence, I might have changed my attitude towards you."

Fang Rui shrugged slightly at Lü Huan's words, not paying much attention.

“Hello, Mom…yes, I’m fine…Dad, I’m not coming home for now…” With Fang Rui’s permission, Lü Huan immediately contacted her parents to let them know she was safe and sound, and hung up the phone after talking for a while.

Later, Lü Huan contacted another person: "Grandpa, there are other powerful people in the village."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

The troubles in the village were left to the old man to handle, after all, he was the current patriarch of the Lü family.

Those who are capable should do more, so she, a nobody, shouldn't get involved too much.

Knowing his own limitations, Lü Huan thought to himself, then his attention was drawn to the faucet in Fang Rui's hand.

"I've been wanting to ask this before, what is that faucet?" Lu Huan asked curiously.

"It's a talisman, one that I made." There was nothing to hide, so Fang Rui readily gave the answer.

"What are talismans?" Lü Huan continued to ask.

"I can't tell you that for now." Fang Rui refused to answer, then brushed his fingertips across the surface of the talisman stove, injecting a wisp of Qi. The stove then spewed out flames, the flames licking the bottom of the soup pot, heating the water inside.

Before Lü Huan could press further, Fang Rui changed the subject: "How many noodles do you want to eat?"

"Fine, I won't say then..." Seeing this obvious reluctance to talk, Lü Huan slightly pursed her lips, pointed to the bowl on the table, and said, "One bowl is enough."

After a breakfast that wasn't particularly lavish but wasn't bad either, Fang Rui put away the cleaned dishes, utensils, and other items, except for the folding stool.

By the roadside, bored Lü Huan sat on a folding stool playing Plants vs. Zombies, while equally bored Fang Rui sat next to her, watching her play the game.

Meanwhile, upon receiving Lü Huan's message, Lü Ci did not gather his clansmen. Instead, he pondered whether Lü Huan on the other end of the phone was genuine or not, and he was also skeptical about the message Lü Huan was conveying without knowing its veracity.

But once a seed is planted, it will sprout sooner or later, and it shouldn't be long before it does.

Lü Huan's parents didn't think too much about it. They were happy to hear that Lü Huan was alright. After listening to Lü Huan's story, they advised her not to come back for the time being and to call if anything happened.

Because he didn't know who in the village was friend or foe, Lü Huan's father didn't tell anyone else that Lü Huan was alive, except for Lü Ci.

In response to the information provided by Lü Huan's father, Lü Ci suggested that Lü Huan's father test the waters to confirm whether "Lü Huan" was real or fake.

After a moment of hesitation, Lü Huan's father agreed.

Chapter 35 Entering the Mountain

"Ding-a-ling-ding-a-ling--"

The phone rang suddenly, followed by a video call notification.

Upon seeing the caller's contact name, Fang Rui vanished like a whistling wind. Lü Huan tidied her wind-blown hair and then gently pressed the answer button.

"...Is there something you want to tell me, Dad?"

Fang Rui, standing opposite Lü Huan, listened to the conversation between the father and daughter, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

Wow, that's really straightforward, not at all subtle, it's like they're inspecting goods.

Fang Rui mentally complained, then took out his phone and searched for interesting comics and novels online.

Half an hour later, the father and daughter finished their conversation... no, to be precise, the inspection was over. Lü Huan successfully proved his identity by using the Ruyi Force and some things that no one outside his family knew.

Slowly exhaling, Lü Huan felt somewhat exhausted. The questioning from her family was inevitable, and she had long been prepared. She just hadn't expected it to come so quickly, nor had she imagined that the person questioning her would be her father.

But upon closer reflection, it's quite normal. These kinds of things require discernment from the details, and entrusting them to someone close to you is the most appropriate course of action.

Even though I know it, I still feel annoyed.

With a slight grip on her phone, Lü Huan slowly stood up, her gaze fixed on one end of the road where an SUV was speeding towards her.

"Is that your companion?" Lü Huan asked, looking at the car.

If they don't say they're leaving, then they're obviously waiting for something.

What can one wait for in this desolate wilderness? Nothing more than companions coming to meet them.

Fang Rui didn't answer, quietly watching the car drive up and stop beside him. The driver's side window slowly rolled down, and a young man with shoulder-length hair leaned out, staring at the two of them for a while. Then he looked down at his phone for a moment and asked, "Whose phone number is 1xxxxxxxxxx?"

“Shen Chong.” Fang Rui nodded.

The young man nodded, tossed his long hair, and said, "Get in the car."

Fang Rui opened the back door and turned to Lü Huan, saying, "He's not a companion, he's the driver."

After saying that, he got into the car, and Lü Huan followed closely behind.

With a muffled thud, the car door slammed shut. The young man in the driver's seat turned to the back seat and said, "Calling me the driver... seems to be true."

Recalling Shen Chong's instructions, the young man reluctantly admitted that the other party's formation was correct.

As one of the four most famous madmen of Quanxing, many Quanxing members are willing to give him face and do him a small favor.

The Quanxing members are not only scattered throughout the country, but some have even gone abroad. Therefore, finding a driver for Fang Rui is not difficult for Shen Chong, but it is very troublesome.

This driver was actually just an ordinary member of the Quanxing Sect, having joined less than a month ago.

Where are you two going?

Composing himself, the young man asked.

“Changbai Mountains,” Fang Rui replied.

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes bulged, as if he were extremely surprised, and he stammered, "Chang...Changbai...Mountain Range?!"

Seeing Fang Rui's calm expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, he moved his lips a couple of times but didn't say anything. Then he started the engine and drove away.

This place is two or three thousand kilometers away from the Changbai Mountains; it would take three or four days to get there.
