"Gentlemen, how have you been?"

King Kai sat on a stone chair, propping his face up with his mechanical arm, watching the three of them.

An Miu Xiu had already guessed why he had sent them here.

It's nothing more than demanding an explanation.

"I already know about Shadow Lord's matter," the Realm King murmured. "I also know pretty much everything about the three of you."

As the team leader, An Miu Xiu should step up in this situation.

"Now that we've brought this up, let's have a good talk."

King Kai smiled, his face crinkling into a deep wrinkle.

"I'll pretend that what happened in the past never happened."

"The three of you remain my most reliable allies."

Mechanical fingers tapped rhythmically on the stone chair, making a clicking sound.

"However, you must tell me all the details about Duanmu Yan, without omitting a single detail."

Anmishiu glanced at Balu; now it was his turn.

Balu stepped forward as if shouldering a great responsibility.

I took a deep breath.

"There's a lot to say about Duanmu Yan."

...

On the basketball court, Duanmu Yan was sweating profusely.

After a good night's sleep, I feel refreshed and have nothing to do with it.

He took Lingling straight to the stadium.

A boy who looked even younger than him was his one-on-one opponent.

The two players are roughly equal in basketball skills.

More than half an hour has passed, and the game is still undecided.

They weren't tired, but Ma Lingling, who was sitting to the side, was tired of watching.

Players only need to score goals mindlessly.

But for the spectators who have to worry about the players, it's a much more tiring experience.

The two men, probably tired from fighting, walked over side by side.

Lingling obediently moved to the side so that the two of them could sit together.

Unscrew the pre-prepared bottled water and hand it to the two of them.

"Brother, is this your girlfriend?" The young man smiled innocently and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Ma Lingling blushed instantly, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say.

Duanmu Yan scratched her head awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

"Hey buddy, you're pretty good at basketball. I haven't asked your name yet."

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Kunzhong. I'm still a student. I like to play basketball when I have free time."

Kun, Zhong, basketball?

These three things together reminded Duanmu Yan of an old friend.

"Brother, what about you?" Kunzhong asked curiously.

"Me?" Duanmu Yan shook her head and smiled.

"My name is Duanmu Yan, and I'm just a noodle cook."

"Really? That's great!" Kunzhong laughed. "I love ramen the most. Brother Duanmu, where do you work?"

"I'll come and support your business then."

“Happiness Dumpling Restaurant,” Duanmu Yan replied.

Kunzhong nodded: "Okay, let's exchange phone numbers so we can arrange a car to play ball again next time."

"Playing ball with you is so much fun!"

Kunzhong left satisfied after the two exchanged phone numbers.

Lingling also recovered from her shyness and her complexion returned to normal.

"Duanmu, this boy is quite nice, he seems very well-behaved."

Duanmu Yan nodded as he watched Kunzhong's retreating figure; he also had a good impression of Kunzhong.

Who wouldn't like such a well-behaved boy?

Sigh, if only he were the armor summoner.

He also really hoped to have a teammate like that, so he could help him fight monsters.

If circumstances allowed, who wouldn't want a good teammate?

This was a pipe dream for Duanmu Yan.

...

"So, you don't agree to me leading the team?" Bei Miao asked, somewhat surprised.

In the morning, Meizhen found him and said she wanted to talk about the armor.

As a proper gentleman.

He never refuses a request from a girl, especially a pretty one.

He arrived at Meizhen's burger shop in the afternoon.

Meizhen asked to join her armor team.

He was certainly very interested in this, but he had one condition: he needed to be the team leader.

Let's sort out this messy team.

With his abilities, he believed that Mei Zhen would not refuse.

Unexpectedly, Meizhen rejected his request outright.

“I think the role of the team is more important,” Meizhen explained. “And the current model may not necessarily be bad.”

"Weren't you like that that day?"

"Alright—" Bei Miao interrupted her, knowing what he was about to say.

It's just that the credit was stolen by that guy named Nava that day.

"I will let you know that what I said is true and necessary."

"I'll do it your way until you understand what I mean."

“But,” he added, changing his tone, “I won’t do it his way.”

The "he" he was referring to was naturally Li Xinnan.

Bei Miao believes that Li Xinnan is too indecisive in doing things.

They weren't ruthless enough, and they weren't proactive in their travel assignments.

Moreover, his abilities do not qualify him for the position of captain.

Meizhen smiled and extended her slender hand: "Welcome to my team."

Next, Meizhen took Beimiao to the ERP base.

He placed the Water Shadow Stone that Bei Miao had given him into the Light and Shadow Energy Chamber.

And he was introduced to the amazing virtual battle room system.

After hearing this, Bei Miao couldn't wait to try it out and see what was so magical about it.

He stood on the control panel, and a beam of light fell upon him.

[Virtual battle room system activated...]

Suddenly, the control panel began to spin rapidly.

Bei Miao only felt a series of auspicious clouds approaching before his eyes.

Then he saw a great mountain, standing tall above countless clouds.

In the blink of an eye, the control panel stopped rotating.

Bei Miao slowly opened her eyes, and all around her were white clouds.

Suddenly, a clear, ethereal voice rang out behind him.

"Hello, summoner of the Water Armor."

Bei Miao turned around blankly, and an old man with a full head of white hair and dressed in white stood in front of him.

"How did you know me?" Bei Miao asked in surprise.

“Everything you do is known to Heaven, Earth, you, and me,” the old man said calmly.

“You’ve been wandering outside for so long, and you have a mindset that many other summoners don’t have.”

"You need to be honest with these feelings and not reject them."

Bei Miao was startled. Was this old man really that amazing?

However, he doesn't think what he did was wrong.

And that's not something he cares about.

"You're saying strange things the moment we meet," Bei Miao said impatiently. "I'm here to become stronger!"

"Instead of coming here to listen to your lectures."
