I'm building Sun City in the eternal night!
Chapter 5: A Drag? A Station 8 Miles Away!
Faced with the girl's question, Chen Hui was about to answer.
Chen Chu, who had previously fallen flat on his face, spoke first:
"Haha, beautiful lady, don't get your hopes up. He's just a bottom-tier blank slate [architect]. At best, he can only build a bear trap. He's a burden!"
"An F-level architect?" The girl's eyes returned to calm, and the enthusiasm on her face cooled down.
However, she still nodded to Chen Hui and said:
"Feng Ning'er, a B-level professional, a wind-riding ranger."
Chen Hui looked at her with some surprise.
Unexpectedly, the other party was a B-level professional.
B-level professionals are considered high-level professionals, and even in the inner city, they are not as common as cabbages.
Such professionals have certain exemptions; unless they are deemed to have exhausted their potential, they are generally not sent to the front lines.
Could it be that the other person was also sold by their family, just like me?
When Chen's mother heard that Feng Ning'er was a B-level professional, she was somewhat pleased and said:
"Sister, I'm entrusting my son Hui'er to you."
Upon hearing that the other party was a B-level professional, Chen Chu subconsciously shrank back.
But then he remembered that he was the most distinguished "architect," and although he was only a C-level, his status wasn't much lower than the other person's, so he immediately raised his chin and said:
"Hey girl, you're pretty good! Remember to team up with me next time, Chen Chu. I'm the [Beast Taming Architect]! I've got your back!"
Feng Ning'er gave Chen's mother and Chen Chu a cold look, and the two of them felt a chill in their hearts for no reason, as if they were being watched by a falcon.
The two were so frightened that they dared not speak again.
Feng Ning'er turned to look at Chen Hui and said, word by word:
"If you hold me back, I will kill you!"
A strong killing intent emanated from him, enveloping a small area.
Chen's father, mother, and Chen Chu all turned pale, feeling that the girl was no longer a girl, but a swooping eagle with its talons gripping her throat, her life and death hanging in the balance.
Only Chen Hui possessed the [Pure Yang Physique], which greatly enhanced his physique. Faced with this murderous aura that seemed almost tangible, his expression remained completely unchanged.
He replied lazily, "I'll say the same to you."
The girl raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised.
It's indeed rare for an F-rank professional to be able to withstand her killing intent.
This person must have experienced many life-or-death crises, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.
Such teammates should be helpful to me no matter what.
His expression softened, and he nodded silently, withdrawing his murderous intent and ceasing his probing.
The middle-aged man standing to the side also nodded at Chen Hui with some appreciation.
Although he was the supervisor of the inner city, he had received information about Chen Hui, who was traveling with his niece, in advance.
However, the other party's information was only submitted one day in advance, and all he knew was that the person was an F-level architect living in the outer city, and he didn't know much else.
Now it seems that although the other party is not strong, he is quite bold. Such a young man can still provide some help to my niece.
"I have entrusted your itinerary to Ning'er. I will not say anything more."
"There's only one rule: once you leave the city gates, if you take even one step back, you'll be considered a deserter."
"After three months, the mission will be considered complete, and you two will be rewarded for your contributions."
"Did you write it down!?"
"I've got it!" Chen Hui shouted back, even though he already knew the rules on the front lines.
To leave a good impression on the supervisory team, so as not to cause trouble for yourself.
After all, it was the supervisory team's responsibility to transport supplies to the front lines during the rainy season.
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, turned to look at Feng Ning'er, and said softly:
"Ning'er, are you really sure you want to go to the front lines? If you turn back now, it's not too late. But once you're out of the city, there will be no chance to change your mind."
"After all, with your qualifications, there's really no need for you to take the risk during the rainy season."
A resolute look appeared on Feng Ning'er's face:
"Uncle, my mind is made up. The more dangerous it is, the greater the reward will be if I survive, and the more the clan will acknowledge my potential."
"At that time, my sister's illness will definitely receive more attention from the clan, and they will find a more powerful [Pharmacist] to treat her."
The middle-aged man was not surprised by Feng Ning'er's answer. He simply sighed slightly and then said:
"Alright, I won't try to persuade you anymore. This time, as long as you survive the rainy season, I will definitely fight for greater benefits for you in the tribe."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said:
"The rainy season is approaching, and there aren't enough people in the city, so I can't take you. You'll have to figure out how to get to the station before dark."
After saying that, he took a step, creating a tornado that disappeared in the blink of an eye with a whistling sound.
The three members of the Chen family were dumbfounded.
Even Chen Hui felt a sense of longing for it.
Is this what a high-level professional is like? They can take off on the spot, it's practically like cultivating immortality.
I don't know when I'll be able to have this skill.
Just as Chen Hui was in a daze, a blurry figure flashed before his eyes, and he felt himself take off.
Then, Feng Ning'er grabbed his shoulder and swung him onto the ground like a chick. Then, Feng Ning'er grabbed Chen Hui's thighs with both hands and ran away like a whirlwind.
Only the three members of the Chen family remained, their hair disheveled and their hair in disarray in the wind.
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing! Put me down right now, don't I have any dignity?!"
Chen Hui blushed.
He had spent several years in the outer city and knew quite a few people.
Several vendors and customers who had previously done business with the vendors were already pointing and commenting.
"Hey~, isn't that the eldest son of the Chen family? Why is he being carried by a little girl?"
"Chen Hui has finally come to his senses."
"I knew this kid was suited to be a kept man. That girl seems to be from the Feng family, right? He's really found a good match..."
"Brother Hui... I haven't awakened my [Professional] status, so can't I be with you?"
...
The more she talked, the more outrageous it became. Chen Hui was too ashamed to listen and began to struggle violently on Feng Ning'er's back.
Feng Ning'er didn't want to waste words with him.
But she discovered that the person on her back, who seemed frail, was incredibly strong, and she was almost losing control of him!
If this continues, the two of them are bound to fall.
She had no choice but to speak coldly:
"Our station is 800 li outside the city. With your pace, it's impossible for you to reach it before dark."
"If you don't want to spend the night alone outside, you'd better just let me carry you."
Chen Hui was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, he stopped struggling.
Indeed, although his strength and physique have greatly increased, his speed has not increased much.
It's impossible to travel 800 li in one day, and once you leave the city, you can't turn back. You'll have to face the darkness.
At the site, you can get free [Strange Fire], [Wooden House], and supplies, which greatly increases your chances of survival.
Thinking of this, he could only press close to the other person, burying his head deeply so that others could not see his face.
The wind howled, emitting a piercing shriek, and Chen Hui felt as if the wind was pushing him forward.
With Feng Ning'er carrying him on her back, her speed was almost two or three times that of an ordinary person running.
After leaving the city, they did not stop to rest even once, and arrived at the front-line station as dusk approached.
