The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

"Alright then, let's go back and rest."

"Um."

The two figures quickly disappeared outside the Colosseum.

Mengzhu only looked up after confirming that Jiang Liyu had left.

She gazed toward the exit, her eyes dimming.

"Oh……"

She chuckled softly.

"It's good that she's alive..."

After saying this, Mengzhu got up and left.

She left quietly, without disturbing anyone.

"kill!"

"kill--"

"Emotional build-up team, stop shouting!"

Si Chen finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"They're all gone!"

He slammed the dark gold staff heavily onto the ground.

The arena, which had been filled with deafening shouts of battle, fell silent instantly.

A moment later, a hushed whisper arose from all around.

"Hey, was my acting just now convincing?"

"Did Elder Ye and the others notice anything amiss?"

I don't think so.

"After all, this storyline mainly revolves around the relationship between Jiang Jianxian and Meng Zhuzhong, the old ancestor."

"Tomorrow's first encirclement and suppression operation might be able to push this part of the story forward."

"The main storyline should start with monster-slaying from here on out."

One player sighed dejectedly.

"Sigh, it's a pity about my character's setup. I'll be cannon fodder and background character in tomorrow's big battle."

"I can only watch you guys play."

The person next to him patted him on the shoulder.

"fine."

"For us, this is just an adaptation beta test."

"Once Aikun finally creates a game that truly allows you to travel back 5,000 years, then we'll continue fighting side-by-side!"

"OK!"

"Then it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

The Colosseum was bustling with activity again.

Beyond the sky.

On the playground of Jinling Wuzhong School, various construction teams are working at full speed.

The huge crater created when Yan Cong brutally beat the golden statuette has begun to be filled.

The teaching building area was already close to being abandoned, and since everyone knew that a major battle was imminent, the school simply stopped repairing it.

Temporary military camps sprang up one after another, and training grounds for the students were set up accordingly.

Construction on the palace, as Yan Cong had demanded, did not stop.

The Dragon King Palace that Long Aotian wanted was also being built simultaneously in another area.

In addition, Luo Ji also needs a piece of land to house his research institute.

Why place it...?

That's true, just like playing Clash of Clans. Find a flat spot and drop a small piece of metal on it.

It turned into a building!

Ye Long stood at the foot of the tower, looked up for a moment, then turned and went inside.

"Preparations for the arrival of our descendants five thousand years from now must also be put on the agenda!"

at the same time.

Above the sky, the scene has changed location.

Ye Chen led Jiang Liyu along the busiest street in the market.

The street stalls stretched as far as the eye could see, a cacophony of shouts, bargaining, and the clash of weapons, with heat and the smell of smoke rising up onto people's faces.

"Here, give me a skewer of these candied hawthorns."

Ye Chen stopped in front of a small stall and casually picked up a string of crystal-clear candied hawthorns.

"You didn't eat much at dinner."

Jiang Liyu took the candied hawthorn.

The sugar coating glowed red under the light, and inside were several sweet and sour spiritual fruits.

She took a bite, her eyebrows curving slightly.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Chen looked up at the stall owner and said:

"Give me three catties of Taiyin fruit as well."

"It greatly helps increase her ice-attribute skill experience."

The stall owner nodded repeatedly and immediately handed over a bag of Taiyin Fruit.

After paying with the Creation Coins, Ye Chen turned around and walked towards the armor shop next door.

"How about we get a set of armor too?"

He looked at the silver armor skirts displayed in the counter, his tone questioning.

"There's a big battle tomorrow, what if you get hurt?"

Before Jiang Liyu could answer, Ye Chen had already paid.

"This one has the highest defense."

"wrap up."

The armor shop owner grinned from ear to ear and quickly handed over the entire set of armor and battle skirts.

Upon seeing this, the nearby vendors immediately gathered around.

"Hey! Hey bro! I've got some good stuff here too!"

"An ice-type amplification necklace would be perfect for this girl!"

"I have some high-level recovery potions here; they could save your life in a critical moment!"

"And this too, the Ice Soul Bracers, which reduce stamina consumption!"

"Hey buddy, don't listen to them! My leg guards are the real deal—they're lightweight and won't hinder your movement!"

Ye Chen stopped in his tracks.

The next moment, he raised his hand and pointed to the Ice Soul Bracer.

"I want this one too."

"Give me ten bottles of recovery potion."

"Wrap the leg warmers and necklace together."

The eyes of several vendors lit up at the same time.

They immediately began introducing their own products.

"This cloak has a stealth effect!"

"These boots increase movement speed!"

"And this spatial ring, its capacity is three times that of a regular storage bag!"

Ye Chen bought things along the way.

He hardly hesitated when he heard phrases like "suitable for ice-type characters," "increases defense," or "can save his life."

Jiang Liyu, who initially tried to dissuade him, gradually changed to quietly following along.

Until the proprietress of a jewelry shop took out a white jade earring.

"Young master, why don't you buy a pair for your little girlfriend?"

"This is our store's prized possession. Wearing it can protect you from mental attacks and also conceal your presence."

Ye Chen's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

Jiang Liyu also turned her head to look at him.

The proprietress noticed their reaction and smiled even more enthusiastically.

"Look, this girl is such a good match for you standing together."

"Young people venturing out into the world always need something to keep them as a symbol of their identity."

Ye Chen remained silent for two seconds.

"wrap up."

He paid with Creation Coins, took the pair of earrings, and handed them to Jiang Liyu.

The phrase "little girlfriend" was never explained from beginning to end.

Jiang Liyu took the earring and gently stroked the jade surface with her fingertips.

She didn't ask any further questions.

They just watched as Ye Chen continued buying things.

The vendors behind him became even more excited.

This customer is incredibly generous.

He would stop and take a look if you said "suitable for your partner".

He would buy it immediately if someone said, "It might be useful in tomorrow's big battle."

In less than half an hour, all the compartments in Jiang Liyu's backpack were filled.

She held the string of candied hawthorns in her hand, and hugged the armor, medicine, jewelry and a few pieces of clothing.

Ye Chen was also carrying a large pile of things and walked ahead.

Jiang Liyu followed behind him, her gaze fixed on his back.

A night breeze blew in from the end of the market, carrying the warmth of the magic crystal lamps.

She glanced down at her right wrist.

There was an ordinary red rope tied there.

The red rope has no attributes or special powers.

This is the participation prize she received when she dragged her master to participate in the market games.

The rules of the game are very simple.

A man and a woman each bit one end of a long biscuit and slowly ate it towards the middle.

The couple who lets go first and touches each other's lips first loses.

The shorter the remaining cookie, the higher the ranking.

The other two couples are genuine couples.

Jiang Liyu was initially full of confidence.

She had even decided that she wanted to win first place.

In the end, Ye Chen looked at the cookie that was only half left, and his ears gradually turned red.

Then, he turned his head away and immediately let go.

They lost because of that.

Thinking of how he dodged away back then, Jiang Liyu's lips curled up slightly.

"Pfft..."
