After drying his body, Li Chengqian threw away the bath towel and walked towards the living room casually.

"I have brought my collection as agreed. Please let my friend go."

Knowing that what she said was not pleasant, Laura got straight to the point.

"Miss Laura, your father should be Earl Richard Crawford, right?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Earl Richard Crawford, a controversial aristocratic archaeologist. Miss Laura is engaged in her current work, probably largely due to the influence of your father."

"These have nothing to do with you. I have brought the things. Please let my friend go."

Born into an aristocracy, and having been the protagonist for so many years, although Laura knew that she had to bow her head when she was under someone's roof, she did not consciously do so.

"Jim, help me get those two bastards who broke into the treasure house yesterday out of the manor."

Li Chengqian made a phone call and spoke to Jim, the butler who was far away in Beverly Hills.

"Humph…"

Although the process was not satisfactory, seeing that Li Chengqian really intended to release his companions, Laura did not intend to care about it, just as she was about to leave.

"So you don't want this golden ball anymore?"

Li Chengqian took out something from a cabinet in the living room. It was the golden ball that Laura lost in the Moon Temple.

"What do you want?"

Seeing William Koch calling her, and thinking about how he hadn't even taken a look at the things she brought from the beginning till now; no matter how dumb Laura was, she now understood that the other party was not interested in the wine.

"I heard that Miss Laura is very good at fighting, especially stick fighting. Although I am not very talented, I have some experience in this area. I would like to challenge you to a duel. If you can beat me, I will give you the golden ball."

Li Chengqian was speaking the truth. Among the eighteen martial arts, he was indeed best at stick fighting.

"Compete with me in stick fighting? Wear this mechanical armor and fight me?"

Laura pointed at the mechanical armor beside her and taunted.

"Of course not. It was just pure physical combat. If Miss Laura doesn't dare, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"I don't dare? I'm just afraid that you won't admit your defeat. Do you want to start now?"

Laura took off her coat. She was just about to take this opportunity to teach the bastard in front of her a lesson.

"and many more…"

"What, you want to regret it?"

"How could that be? I am a businessman, and I value fairness and justice the most. If I lose, I will give the golden ball to you. But if you lose, Miss Laura, what can you give me?"

The saddle was ready, and Li Chengqian began to set the trap, letting the wild horse fall into it by itself.

"I won't lose?"

Laura is very confident in her skills.

"What if we lose?"

"If I lose, I'll be at your mercy."

Very good, that's what I've been waiting for.

In order to make the opponent admit defeat with a sincere heart, Li Chengqian scheduled the competition in the afternoon.

Laura?

She was just arrogant, not stupid. Her body had been flying in the sky all night, and now it was only supported by her mind.

.........

Seven o'clock in the evening

Li Chengqian, wearing a loose martial arts robe, had been waiting in the spacious gym for almost an hour before Laura finally arrived.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Laura, who had slept since lunch, felt a little embarrassed.

"Ladies always have privileges, don't they?"

Li Chengqian said after throwing a long stick to Laura.

"Mr. Koch is very confident in his skills."

Women always say one thing and mean another. Laura's mind had already emerged the scene of Li Chengqian being beaten by him and running away in fear, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"can we start?"

Li Chengqian held the stick in one hand, posed in a very handsome manner and asked.

"as you wish…"

As soon as Laura finished speaking, she attacked Li Chengqian with the long stick in her hand.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Fortunately, Laura is a woman and Li Chengqian is a villain, and the two are evenly matched in the first mixed group, at least that's what it seems on the surface.

"Hmm, ha..."

The sneak attack failed and prevented Laura from continuing to attack. After gathering her strength for a whole day, she used all her strength to chase Li Chengqian relentlessly.

Evading, dodging, and blocking, facing Laura's fierce attack, Li Chengqian still held the stick with one hand, as if teasing his own kitten, and performed with ease.

"Is all you can do about it? William Koch, you coward."

After five or six minutes of stalemate, Laura realized that she would lose if she continued like this, so she began to try to provoke him with words in order to find his flaws.

"As you wish, Miss Laura..."

Triple hit

Li Chengqian, who was getting serious, held the stick in both hands and tapped Laura's chest twice, causing her to drop the stick. Then he appeared behind her and hit her butt hard with the stick.

"what"

In order to teach the other party a lesson for his rude words, Li Chengqian's stick had a force that was basically the limit that an ordinary person could withstand; Laura was hit by the stick and was knocked to her knees.

"you…"

"you lose."

Li Chengqian, who had no patience to continue playing, placed a long stick on Laura's neck and spoke to her condescendingly like a god.

"Yes, I lost, what do you want to do?"

Although the woman in front of him was arrogant, she could still afford to lose. Li Chengqian was very satisfied with her attitude.

"Your stick skills are not as good as the rumors say. I am happy to be your teacher."

Seeing that Laura had no intention of resisting, Li Chengqian picked her up like a princess, and the two of them went to the bedroom.

one week later

Bedroom interior of the Lahea Cliff House in California

"Baby, I think it's time for you to go for a walk?"

"Master, are you beginning to get tired of me?"

The more unruly she was at first, the more obedient she became after being tamed. This is what happens to women like Laura; of course, she is only obedient towards Li Chengqian.

The 50000 points from the first teaching session made Li Chengqian realize that the woman in front of him was a huge treasure, so he made an exception and used the skill of One Shot to the Soul for the first time in the current world.

Facts have proved that his choice was correct. Just like in the main world of "Joy of Life", after defeating Laura, the only protagonist of "Tomb Raider", the system actually activated a hidden task.

Hidden Mission 1: Obtain the Key of Time, Mission Reward - Time Demodulator (adjusts the time ratio between the main world and the world you travel through)

Current status (task completed)

Hidden Mission 2: Get Pandora's Box, Mission Reward - Fountain of Life (Drink the water from the Fountain of Life and you will stay young forever)

Current status (task in progress)

"I'm very interested in the Pandora's Box you mentioned. Can you help me bring it back?"

Having a mysterious side made Li Chengqian more awed by the current world, so he did not plan to take Pandora's Box himself.

"As you wish my Lord, your request is my mission."

In this way, female archaeologist Laura began her adventure again.

Chapter 289 Time Demodulator

Although he had no feelings for her, she was his woman after all, so Li Chengqian did not really sit back and watch Laura go on adventures; before leaving, he asked her to take away a set of portable armor with flying magic, so that he could show up to help if she really encountered danger.

Key of Time, Time Demodulator. After Laura left, Li Chengqian finally had time to take a good look at these two things.

The Key of Time, an important item in Tomb Raider 1, is somewhat similar to the golden ball just taken away by Laura.

It's obviously nothing special, how could it turn out to be something as good as a time demodulator?

Never mind, maybe the system dad loves me again?

A day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world. Have you heard the story of the man who lost the chess pieces? Isn't this what time travelers like Li Chengqian fear the most?

Especially after he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and bound the Joy of Life world as the main world.

He was afraid that after traveling in other worlds, when he returned to the main world, everything would have changed drastically, and all the people he cared about and who cared about him would no longer be there. Fortunately, he had this time demodulator, which solved his big problem.

Everything produced by the system has instructions for use. Li Chengqian adjusted the time ratio between the Joy of Life world and the current world to 365:1.

As for returning to the main world?

That's another way of thinking.

Daishan

After meeting Xiao Ming in the welfare home, Andy's last hope was shattered.

"Andy, are you okay?"

No matter from which perspective, Tan Zongming doesn't want anything to happen to Andy.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little confused."

Andy was not only confused, she even felt a little regretful.

I regret coming here from the United States to look for my so-called relatives, but ended up with such a cruel reality.

"Dean Xiuyuan, I am Xiaoming's biological sister. I want to take him to the Magic City for treatment."

Things have come to this point, blood is thicker than water, and Andy has to shoulder the responsibility of being a sister; also, she has some hope that modern medical technology can cure Xiao Ming's illness, and also cure her own heart disease at the same time.

"Lichun, I understand that you want Xiaoming to get better immediately, but his illness requires long-term companionship. I would like to ask, if he goes to Shanghai, will you have the time to accompany him for a long time?"

There are many reasons why people do a job, survival and enjoyment are probably the two main reasons;

The reason why Director Xiuyuan has been taking care of the children in the orphanage diligently for decades is because she has deep love and affection for these children.

Xiao Ming was not ill when he first came to the orphanage, so why did his condition develop to the current level? It was because of the harm caused by secondary abandonment.

Xiuyuan was afraid that Andy would rashly accept Xiaoming without being prepared and end up hurting him again.

"Andy, Dean Xiuyuan is right. Xiao Ming's disease is most afraid of stimulation. If you rashly move him to an unfamiliar environment, even if there are good doctors, it may not necessarily make his condition better. Let's take a long-term view on this matter."

Tan Zongming once heard a rumor that a good person stayed in a mental hospital for three months and became a mental patient when he came out. He was afraid that Andy, who already had the predisposition to mental illness, would frequently come into contact with Xiao Ming, thus triggering her mental illness.

If things really develop to that point, not only will William Koch not let him go, but he himself will also be condemned by his conscience for the rest of his life.

"Lichun, your husband is right. Let's put off bringing Xiao Ming to Shanghai for now. You've been exhausted after a long day rushing here from Shanghai. Let's just leave it that way for today."

"Sir? Dean, you misunderstood. Old Tan is just my good friend."

"Yeah, we're just good friends."

"Oh, sorry, I misunderstood."

At first glance, Tan Zongming and Andy seem to be a good match, no wonder Dean Xiuyuan would misunderstand.

"Director, this is my donation to the orphanage on behalf of the Koch Foundation."
