From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Really? I'll have to try Lu Jin's sister-in-law's cooking sometime." Duanmu Ying laughed heartily, patting Lu Jin's shoulder with anticipation in her eyes.

Although Jiang Liu's tone sounded like he was joking, seeing Lu Jin's flushed face, it seemed that he really was a little interested in that girl named Wang Baoling from the Confucian Society.

That would be wonderful!

# Chapter 724 Passionate Jagata

As Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying were chatting and laughing, the Cheshire Cat came out of the training room and scolded, "Get out of the way, you little brats!"

Jiang Liu: "..."

"Don't take it to heart, young men and women, I've been there."

After Cheshire Cat and the other four captains of the magic team gathered, Jagata quickly walked to Jiang Liu and the other two and comforted them, "Although I am not very familiar with Cheshire Cat, she is basically the type who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

Jiang Liu: "???"

Cold on the outside, hot on the inside?

Are you serious?

She's obviously very open-minded!

Anyone can climb into her bed!

"You're a bit annoying."

Duanmu Ying, however, bluntly stabbed Yajiata in the heart, causing her smile to stiffen slightly. But she still tried to maintain the awkward smile and said, "Even if you joke like that, I'm not angry, really, hehe, not angry."

Seeing this, Duanmu Ying was speechless.

This Jagdal—

Have you been living in a relatively oppressive environment for a long time?

[A people-pleasing personality!]

Jiang Liu had a clearer understanding of the persona that Yagata had displayed over the past few days, and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

"Really? My advice was helpful to you? That's wonderful!" Jagata's joy was palpable, and she even waved her arm excitedly.

"...It's just a polite remark, don't take it to heart."

After thinking for a short while, Jiang Liu added a sentence.

"It's okay! It's okay! As long as I'm sincere, that's enough, hehe!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jagata's cheeks again, but she still maintained her smile, wanting to show everyone her best side.

"Is she really a young lady from a wealthy family?"

After she went to show concern for others with her words, Lu Jin was quite puzzled and glanced at Duanmu Ying, "Why is she so different from the young ladies back home?"

"Ok?"

Duanmu Ying keenly sensed Lu Jin's veiled criticism of her. She wrapped her arms around Lu Jin's neck and whispered menacingly in his ear, "Actually, I could also pay more attention to your mental health."

"No! I was wrong!"

Lu Jin hurriedly broke free, his face turning deathly pale with fright—in the basement of the Cairo University library, he had been Duanmu Ying's psychological research subject, answering all sorts of bizarre questions in a sealed room, such as "How would you feel if you and your friend peed closer together?" and "If you were passing by a melon field, your mouth was dry, and you knew that the melon farmers in the countryside wouldn't mind if you picked a watermelon to eat, would you pick one?" and so on.

It's even more torturous than using the Ghost Crafting Ball to perceive the four seasons and six energies of the universe and improve one's skill in controlling the fire!

"It's simple, it's just a difference in culture and environment."

Jiang Liu then answered Lu Jin's question, "Our area is still quite backward. There are many well-educated and virtuous young ladies who, after getting married, will basically stay at home except for holidays and festivals. The only people they need to deal with are their husbands, fathers-in-law, and mothers-in-law."

Meanwhile, the West had long since entered the industrial age. Girls from upper-class families were often expected to practice piano and social skills from a young age, to be out in public, and even after marriage, to have their own careers and sometimes even need to socialize like men…

It's not entirely incomprehensible that some Western girls find family life too oppressive and run away before marriage.

Upon hearing this distinction, Duanmu Ying was surprised to discover that she was neither a traditional lady from a prominent Eastern family, nor a modern runaway woman from the West, but rather—

“You must be an unconventional young lady. The Duanmu family probably doesn’t need you to arrange a marriage or engage in any social activities, so they basically ‘let you grow up freely’ and pamper you, to the point that you’re so rebellious that you dared to go abroad to study alone… It’s fortunate that you met me and Lu Jin, otherwise you would most likely have sunk in the South China Sea with the Alexander.”

"If I hadn't gone out, I would never have known that there were so many interesting things in the world!"

Despite Jiang Liu's teasing, Duanmu Ying was able to respond calmly.

"gather!"

The Cheshire Cat, the Masked Woman, the Violinist, the Deadshot, and the Puppet all spoke in unison.

The members of teams two, three, four, and five all gathered and lined up in the open space, alongside teams from the UK, USA, Germany, and Russia from other regions.

"set off!"

The robin scanned the five teams, then, without keeping them in suspense, personally led the way with Ansuna.

After passing through the passage, climbing the stairs, leaving the underground base, and returning to the surface, the azure sky finally brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

The living conditions in the underground base are not bad, but not seeing the real sun for many days and not being able to feel the natural breeze will always make people feel an unnatural sense of oppression.

The area was desolate, and 300 meters ahead, twelve giant biplanes were parked. Apart from the pilots, each biplane could carry at least 20 people.

The British team had 15 men, the American team had 20 men, the German team had 10 men, the Russian team had 12 men, plus the French team with Jiang Liu, which had 31 men—excluding the four logistics personnel in the team's first squad, there were a total of 88 men.

Twelve biplanes are more than enough to accommodate ten people per plane.

In reality, there were only five helicopters available for them to allocate. Of the remaining seven, one was for Robin, one for Anzo, one for the other wealthy individuals who planned to participate in the expedition, and the other four were used to store food, weapons, tools, detection equipment, camping equipment, and for logistics personnel.

Since the French team consisted of 31 people, 11 of them had to share a plane with the German team, which had the fewest members.

Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, Evelyn, Yagata, Zu Bo, Jin Ge, and others happened to be inside the same biplane.

Meanwhile, Alejandro González Ilya, along with the flat-headed magician, Jack, and their group, shared a plane with the smallest German team.

"Hey, Lu Jin, is this your first time flying?"

Yagata was sitting next to Lu Jin, waving her right arm cheerfully, while her left hand pulled out a bag from her bosom containing dozens of white pills that emitted a scent similar to Chinese herbal medicine. "If you get airsick, just let me know. I have a special airsickness pill. One pill will refresh you and ensure you arrive safely!"

"I definitely won't get airsick, and you don't need to be so enthusiastic... Besides, I'm not a child, you don't need to take such good care of me. When it comes to fighting ability, if I say I'm second, only Brother Jiang here dares to say he's first." Faced with Yagata's concern, Lu Jin was a little tired and said impatiently.

"hehe."

Jagata laughed awkwardly twice, but still enthusiastically introduced her "motion sickness medicine" to the others, though most people weren't very interested.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Liu finally spoke up, "Could I have one?"

"Handsome young man, you have excellent taste!" Yagata's smile finally became more natural as she handed Jiang Liu a pill.

Then, Jagata asked Zubo, who was sitting opposite her and looked rather listless, "Zubo, would you like one?"

"Don't fucking bother me!"

Zubo, with a gloomy face, directly gave Jagata the middle finger.

"..."

# Chapter 725 Attack! Plane Crash!

“Zu Bo, I think you could be more polite next time.”

Jagata gave an awkward but polite smile.

"If you want to be polite, don't be a mercenary, you stupid young lady from a wealthy family!" Zu Bo cursed rudely, but then realized he had gone too far, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, no longer participating in the conversation.

Seeing this, Yagata wasn't discouraged. She carefully put away the white pill and quietly encouraged herself, "That's it, Miss Yagata. You must learn to ignore other people's rudeness and impoliteness; it's just unintentional..."

Ah!

I've already forgotten about the unpleasantness from just now!

Then, she took out some pills and loudly asked the others, "Does anyone else want motion sickness medication?"

It's really effective and free!

After all, we're all partners going to explore Atlantis together!

This is sure to be an extremely interesting adventure!

I hope everyone has an unforgettable experience and doesn't miss out on potentially very interesting things later on because of motion sickness!

Listening to Jagata's incessant chatter, Zubo, with his eyes closed, covered his ears.

Jin Ge held up one finger and said somewhat blankly, "Give me one, Yagata. My daughter is sick and in a very bad state. If your medicine is effective, I would like to take it back for her to try. Maybe it can cure her illness."

"Well... my medicine doesn't actually cure the disease, but if your daughter's mental state is really bad, it can make her feel better for a short time, like a stimulant without side effects."

Yagata handed a pill to Jin Ge and patiently explained, then added, "By the way, I know a very good doctor. If this expedition is successfully completed, I can introduce him to you. Maybe he can cure your daughter's illness."

"Thank you."

Jin Ge took the white pill, carefully put it into his pocket, and thanked Yagata.

"You are welcome."

Jagata was overjoyed.

"It's clear that Jagata is overly enthusiastic, giving the impression that she's trying every means to please people."

Like Jiang Liu, Duanmu Ying had also completely confirmed Yajiata's character. He was a good person, but he had a bit of a problem with how he communicated with others and just wanted to please them.

Team Two's ability to have eleven members survive the first trust test, second only to Team Five where Jiang Liu and others were, is undoubtedly thanks to Yagata.

As for why Team 2 lost half its members in the second test?

It's possible that because she was an outsider, she was naturally seen as a "freak" by the other members, who thought her enthusiasm was a pretense, and thus opposed her, which ultimately led to the deaths of five people.

"But to be honest, it's really tiring to talk to someone who's always optimistic regardless of the situation and keeps encouraging others," Lu Jin complained.

Fortunately, the two were speaking Chinese, which Jagata couldn't understand, otherwise she would definitely have shown that awkward yet polite standard smile.

And what about the river?

Holding the white pill, he sniffed it and immediately identified its ingredients: ginseng, rosemary, and mint, all of which have invigorating effects. It was made using ancient methods, similar to traditional Chinese medicine, but with slightly different proportions.

If it's not a problem with Jagata's technique, then it means that ancient Western medicine was indeed somewhat behind traditional Chinese medicine theory, and it hadn't yet truly formed a systematic framework.

To be honest, in terms of medicine, the West has already begun to build a more systematic and rational framework through science; it can be said that they are constructing a grand avenue to medical advancement...
