Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

"........."

"What's the third point? Can you stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already?"

Lin Ze stopped mid-sentence.

This made everyone around anxious; they hated people who only said half of what they meant!

Lin Ze chuckled, "Don't be in such a hurry."

"That's how it's written in novels. Don't you think it gives off a sense of a reclusive sage?"

Everyone remained expressionless and said in unison, "We don't think so."

"Um?"

"Seven Nights, what do you think?"

Undeterred, Lin Ze turned to Lin Qiye and asked.

Lin Qiye smiled awkwardly but politely, "It's only because it's you. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been beaten up by now."

Lin Ze: "..."

"This third point is also the most crucial one. Others may not remember it, but you, Shen Qingzhu, must remember it."

"When the external environment is under vacuum pressure, the time that the bubbles exist will be shorter, specifically only 10 to 15 seconds."

"And at this time, his defenses will become extremely vulnerable."

"Therefore, you can't just fight to the death with someone all the time; there's still a certain risk involved."

Shen Qingzhu clearly didn't listen to Lin Ze's earnest advice.

He only heard that he could last 10 to 15 seconds.

That was enough for him.

Creating a vacuum environment and fighting desperately with the enemy remains his most effective trump card.

"Did you remember?"

"Got it!"

"Okay, I'll remember that."

"Seven Nights, bring me a gift."

After saying that, Lin Qiye had a jade pendant in his hand.

He handed the pendant to Cao Yuan and said, "This is a gift I prepared for you."

"Lin Ze said it can stabilize your mental state, so that even if he's not around, you can still use Black King Annihilation."

"Although it might not be as effective as Lin Ze's, at least it's usable."

"Oh, by the way, this gift is called the Qingxin Pendant."

"Thank you, Qiye! And thank you, Ze-ge!"

Before Lin Qiye could finish speaking, he reached out and took the jade pendant, hanging it around his neck.

Since Lin Ze left, he hasn't dared to use his abilities.

I was afraid that I might accidentally lose control again and cause trouble for my friends.

Now that I have this thing, I can finally use it with peace of mind.

The gift touched his heart deeply.

However, at that moment, Lin Qiye quickly said, "Don't wear it yet!"

"Let me finish what I have to say."

"what?"

By the time Cao Yuan realized what was happening, it was too late.

Cao Yuan had already hung the jade pendant around his neck.

He asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong, Qiye?"

Are there any side effects?

Lin Qiye didn't know how to explain it to him, so she could only utter, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then checked his physical condition, punched the air twice, and then jumped and bounced around on the playground.

It's nothing serious.

"Haha, don't worry, Nanaya."

"I'm fine."

"Perhaps this jade pendant does have some negative effects, but everyone's constitution is different."

"What has a negative effect on others is a different story for me."

"after all....."

Halfway through his sentence, Cao Yuan stood there as if his computer had frozen.

When he came to his senses again, he saw that the other man's eyes were empty, his gaze was lifeless, and he seemed completely lost.

He kept muttering, "Tell me, what's the point of living?"

"Since we're all going to die, why do we live?"

"This is boring..."

"This is boring..."

At this moment, Cao Yuan was like a wind-up puppet, devoid of any vitality.

Only then did Lin Qiye slowly speak, "Look, this is the side effect."

"The Purifying Pendant has an extremely strong purifying effect."

"So it can only be used when you are extremely insane."

"This situation will occur during daily use."

"I feel completely empty."

"At best, one feels that life has no meaning; at worst, one suffers brain death."

"So you still need to be careful when using it in daily life."

Lin Qiye's words were naturally meant for Cao Yuan's ears.

At this moment, Cao Yuan, though somewhat dazed, was still able to listen to what was being said.

He replied in a completely emotionless tone, "It's good to be alive."

"It's fine if I die."

"So be it, brain dead..."

Lin Qiye sighed softly, "Lin Ze, make your move."

After saying that, Lin Ze swiftly stepped forward and slapped Cao Yuan across the face, saying, "Don't say such stupid things again."

And then he casually took off the jade pendant.

Cao Yuan returned to normal in a short while.

"What just happened?"

"I feel like time has stopped."

Lin Qiye ignored him and asked directly, "Did you hear what I just said to you?"

"Hmm, I vaguely remember."

"It seems so; you shouldn't wear this jade pendant in daily life."

Lin Qiye nodded. "That's good."

"You don't need to pay attention to the rest."

"You only need to remember one thing: after wearing the Heart-Cleansing Pendant, immediately enter the Black King Annihilation state, otherwise you will have no will to fight."

Cao Yuan recalled the scene just now, and just thinking about it made him break out in a cold sweat.

He nodded quickly, "Okay! I got it!"

At this moment, Fatty blinked and said, "Hmm~ I've remembered it too."

"Don't worry, Cao Cao, if you can't remember, I'll remind you."

"But you don't need to remember the details about my gift; I'll remember them myself."

Fatty pretended to be nonchalant as he looked at Lin Ze and Lin Qiye.

His purpose in trying to make his presence known is quite obvious.

I just want my own gift.

They all got gifts, so what about me?

Although these forbidden items are nothing to Fatty.

He could pick out any forbidden item at random, and its quality would be better than theirs.

But this is different; the meaning is different.

He had never received a gift from a friend before, a gift prepared specifically for him.

Lin Ze and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance, and immediately understood.

Speaking of which, preparing a gift for Fatty really took them a lot of effort.

Because Fatty is different from others, both of them have their own weaknesses in combat.

Therefore, all they need to do is find a way to make up for the shortcomings of these two people, which is what they need.

But Fatty is different; this kid is covered in so many forbidden items that it's outrageous.

His abilities are countless; there's nothing he can't do, only things you can't imagine.

Therefore, when giving a gift to Fatty, one should not follow the same approach as Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu.

This stumped the two of them.

In the end, however, they still chose a nice gift.

They pulled out a delicate little wooden box from behind their backs.

This small wooden box is similar in shape to the wooden box that Wang Mian gave them; to be precise, it was a free gift.

Once you've looked at it enough, that's it, because this is the free gift.

Upon seeing the exquisite wooden box, Fatty's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it with an excited expression.

"Judging from the exquisite craftsmanship here, if I'm not mistaken, you two must have carved it yourselves."

"Excellent, excellent, very thoughtful!"

"I love so much!"

"This is much better than the gifts for both of them!"

"Huh? There are words here..."

"Prohibited items...for storage...only?"

Upon seeing this, Fatty instantly understood.

It turned out that her gift was a piece of junk used to hold forbidden items.

The chubby man's expression instantly changed from sunny to cloudy.

But considering his pride, he still forced a smile.

"Hehehe, I think it must be a mistake in the engraving."

"This must be something you two overlooked, right?"

In the end, Fatty couldn't fool himself.

With a slightly tearful voice, he pulled at the two of them and asked, "Waaah, why can't I have my own gift?"

Seeing this, Lin Qiye quickly comforted him, "Fatty, Fatty, it's not like that."

"I'm just kidding."

"Of course we've prepared a gift for you."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye glared fiercely at Lin Ze.

This was the idea Lin Ze came up with—to deliberately make fun of Fatty.

Lin Ze felt a pang of guilt; he realized he shouldn't have acted that way.

Fatty had been eagerly awaiting his return from the training camp, only to be deliberately upset by his own actions.

Lin Ze, you're so awful!

Then, Lin Qiye took out his gift, a long sword carved from wood.

It shines brilliantly under the sunlight, looking like a divine artifact.

"I carved this for you myself, using rosewood from the South China Sea."

"Where's yours? Hurry up and take it out!" Lin Qiye said to Lin Ze in an annoyed tone.

Lin Ze quickly took out his own gift as well.

Similar to Lin Qiye's gift, the gift he gave to Fatty was a long knife carved from small-leaf sandalwood.

After giving the two gifts to Fatty, Lin Qiye explained, "We know you don't lack anything."

"That's why I haven't known what to give you."

"Everyone else's gifts were prepared long ago, but yours took us a long time to make."

"These two weapons, unlike their gifts, do not have any practical use."

"But I think you probably value its significance more."

"The reason Lin Ze and I gave you this gift is so that you'll be safe in case you encounter danger."

"We will protect you like this sword and this knife."

After hearing this explanation, Fatty was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

To be honest, these two people really know how to give gifts that touch people's hearts.

These two gifts mean he has two powerful backers to rely on, don't they?

Seeing Fatty's pitiful state, Lin Ze felt even more guilty.

Damn it! Lin Ze, you're really awful!

However, the next second, he heard an extremely arrogant and domineering voice, "Hahaha, where is this monster!"

"Come out and get a taste of my fat man's knife!"

Lin Ze: "???"

I don't feel as guilty anymore...

Seeing the two exquisite weapons in Fatty's hands, Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu suddenly felt that their own gifts weren't so appealing after all.

But upon closer reflection, what suits you best is the best.

They truly considered them brothers!

At this moment, Cao Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "We've only asked you to prepare gifts for us."

"We didn't prepare anything for you, we just stood here like idiots to pick you up."

Shen Qingzhu, standing to the side, was also somewhat embarrassed and couldn't say a word.

Lin Ze patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to say that."

"Every time you think of me, it's a gift."

"Besides, you can't even get out of the training camp."

"Besides creating a complete mess, what else could you possibly prepare for this training camp?"

(They've been eating a lot of chicken lately.)

Hearing this, Yuan Gang and the others felt offended.

I can't quite put my finger on what's strange, but something just feels off.

Then, Yuan Gang suddenly coughed twice.

It's unclear whether she was signaling Lin Ze to take it easy or implying she wanted a gift.

Lin Ze suddenly realized that he hadn't given the instructors their gifts yet.

"I almost forgot."

"I already told you, each of you has one."

"Come, come, come."

"Instructor Hong, this is black mud ointment from the South China Sea, which is specially used to treat sprains and bruises."

"It works as soon as you apply it."

"Thanks..."

Hong Hao was still a little embarrassed.

Lin Ze's gift was indeed appropriate, considering that he had been frequently suffering from fractures and injuries for a period of time.

At first, he was quite touched, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that...

Wasn't my fracture and injury caused by Linze?

You gave me all this...you're not planning to beat me up in the coming days, are you?!

Hong Hao suddenly had a bad feeling.

However, not wanting to spoil the atmosphere, he pretended not to know anything.

"Instructor Xu, I know you're henpecked and don't have much pocket money."

"Here's 1 yuan in cash. Keep it for yourself."

"Instructor Liang, you like fishing, but you always come back empty-handed."

"This is a juvenile rabbitfish, which reproduces as quickly as rabbits."

"Go back and keep it in your own fish tank to fish for."

"Instructor Li..."

"......."

Although the gifts Lin Ze gave later were not expensive, they all touched their hearts.

Finally, Lin Ze and Yuan Gang exchanged a glance.

This last gift belonged to Yuan Gang.

Looking into Lin Ze's eyes, Yuan Gang's emotions were complicated; he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Because he exposed the secrets of all the instructors who had given him gifts before.

However, when Lin Ze took out the gift, Yuan Gang realized that he had been overthinking things.

Lin Ze brought out two large mineral water bottles, which contained some clear liquid.

"Instructor Yuan, this is for you."

"Knowing you usually enjoy a little drink by yourself, I'm bringing you some wine."

"These wines are not available on the market."

"It was brewed by the villagers themselves during one of our missions."

Yuan Gang laughed heartily, thinking to himself that this kid was really thoughtful.

He discovered that I liked to have a drink or two when I had nothing to do.

Yuan Gang immediately opened the bottle cap and said to everyone, "These two brats are back today, and we have some wine again."

"Let's drink a little less and celebrate!"

After saying that, Yuan Gang personally poured a small cup for each of the instructors.

When Fatty and his two friends wanted to have a drink, Lin Qiye stopped them.

Yuan Gang could understand; after all, they were still children and shouldn't drink alcohol!

"Lin Ze, what's the temperature here?"

"It's brewed by the villagers themselves, so it doesn't have much alcohol."

"Just drink it and get some fresh air."

"Hey, Instructor Yuan, why are you sleeping on the drill ground?"
