There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 4 Entering the Bandit's Den Again

In the quiet evening, the door was opened from the outside, and the setting sun shone into the room through the gradually opening door crack.

"Lu Ren, look! The boss treated us to dinner today, and I brought some back for you..."

Lu Youhe pushed the door open with a snap, only to find the room completely empty.

This guy, I bet he's off playing somewhere again.

She snorted, put her things down, bent down to take off her shoes, neatly arranged them at the doorway, and then went inside.

It's so late, don't you know to come home for dinner?

However, Lu Ren still hadn't returned by 9 p.m.

Lu Youhe took a flashlight, put on his neatly arranged shoes and socks, and went out again.

I couldn't find any mahjong parlors, bars, or even dilapidated internet cafes.

In front of a small shop in the urban village, a group of thugs were smoking and playing pool at a pool table when a beam of bright light suddenly shone through the darkness.

They couldn't see anything against the light, but they all knew who the person holding the flashlight was behind the bright light.

Before she could speak, one of the blond-haired men said impatiently, "Your brother isn't here. I haven't seen him today."

"Hey, Lu Youhe, wanna come over and play for a bit?"

Lu Youhe remained silent with a cold face, shining his flashlight around. When he couldn't see anyone, he turned and left into the night.

"Like a mute."

"By the way, where did Lu Ren go today?"

"Who knows?"

"This girl is getting prettier and prettier."

The shopkeeper was watching the news; it was today's emergency broadcast.

However, today's emergency report is not about any problems in the Spirit Realm, or about any Void Beasts running into the city and causing havoc.

"We have an urgent news briefing. At 8 PM tonight, a serious security incident occurred on Songhua Street in Linjiang New City. According to police reports, unidentified individuals committed acts of violence and took two citizens hostage. Special forces have cordoned off the area and are conducting a rescue operation. Residents in the surrounding area have been evacuated. Police are advising citizens to avoid the area and not to gather around. We will provide real-time updates on the situation."

……

Where is this?

Lu Ren felt dizzy and lightheaded, but his consciousness gradually returned.

"You're awake."

A cool female voice sounded beside him, and Lu Ren woke up from his coma to find himself in an unfamiliar room, with a stunningly beautiful girl standing in front of him.

He felt that the scene was somewhat familiar, but the person in front of him should not be his sister.

I remember now: time travel, hunger, an old man trying to scam me, hunger, a man standing up for me, hunger, a tragic loser girl... and then suddenly encountering a gang robbing a restaurant.

He and the single woman were kidnapped by robbers.

When I was being taken out of the house, I accidentally tripped and fell, hitting my head... How embarrassing!

Having already experienced time travel, being kidnapped was nothing new to him, so Lu Ren wasn't flustered at all after regaining consciousness.

Anyway, he's already full, so he'll die a full-bodied ghost.

Lu Ren, his face cold, asked in a deep, magnetic voice, "What's the situation now?"

"This should be the basement of a warehouse."

How many people are on the other side?

"Five. There was one guarding this place, but he just went up to the surface; he probably went to eat."

Lu Ren pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are there any professionals among them?"

Shen Yaoxing glanced at him: "One first-tier Flowing Firefly Realm professional, and four ordinary people... Is your throat sore?"

He felt a little embarrassed and reached out to wipe his face, as if he could erase the awkwardness.

The ranks of professionals are divided into six levels from low to high: Firefly, Candlelight, Firewood, Star Cocoon, Frosty Moon, and Burning Sun.

Lu Ren is now at the first level of the Flowing Firefly Realm.

He was puzzled: "They robbed the hotel? No, their purpose was very clear at the time, but why would they kidnap us? I don't have a penny on me, I'm just an unemployed bum who hasn't found a job yet, could it be...?"

Lu Ren's heart sank! Could it be that he was actually a descendant of a noble family who had been separated from his family, and that today he was about to witness a drama of "recognizing relatives and vying for the throne"? Countless novel plots flashed through his mind...

"That's right, I'm their target... Why do you suddenly look so unwilling?"

"You came here specifically to kidnap me, could it be...?"

"Shen Yaoxing, that's my name. Shen Yanqing is my grandfather."

Even though she was in a state of being "kidnapped," Shen Yaoxing showed no sign of panic, casually brushing her hair, which had fallen to her chest, behind her back.

She had done this gesture countless times; in the moments between tossing her hair and turning her pretty face, she exuded an undeniable air of nobility.

"I'm sorry, I dragged you into this too."

Under the moonlight streaming into the warehouse, this was the first time Lu Ren and Shen Yaoxing made eye contact.

The young girl's eyelashes trembled like spring ripples, her eyes sparkling with brilliance; how could any handsome young man named Longyou, with his sunny disposition, refuse such a woman?

The Shen family of Linjiang...

The emergence of the virtual world altered the course of this nation's history.

More than four hundred years ago, in the Void Realm, the emergence of Void Beasts and Professionals reshaped the power structure, leading to a change of dynasties and the establishment of the Yu Dynasty.

The Jiangyu royal family ruled for over three hundred years, ending only 18 years ago. The Yu Kingdom ended its feudal imperial system and entered a new era.

However, because it was a peaceful transition without major changes, many of the feudal-era structures were preserved.

For example, this country still has an emperor.

Eighteen years ago, Emperor Yu voluntarily relinquished power, but he was still a genuine emperor, loved and supported by the people of the whole country, and had a strong sense of national identity.

Even the royal family has survived peacefully to this day, let alone the aristocratic families. The Shen family of Linjiang is such an example.

"In that case, Miss Shen, the rescue team must be arriving soon, right?"

"Are they the rescuers?"

For no apparent reason, the girl seemed a little depressed.

"Someone once said that if I'm in danger, he'll come to me immediately, no matter where I am..."

"Yes, really? Where is that person?"

"Yeah, where is that person now? Heh, where are they now? Probably cuddling with some green tea bitch. Without me there to stop them, they'd probably be like a monkey in heat..."

Her eyes were vacant, and she kept her head down, muttering to herself as if she were talking to a cockroach in the corner. She couldn't stop talking to herself.

Has "best friend" evolved from "that woman" into "green tea bitch"?

Seeing her looking like a defeated dog, Lu Ren couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort:

"Miss Shen, there's no need to be too pessimistic. According to statistics, the probability of a first love lasting until the end is only 5%."

Shen Yaoxing's eyes suddenly lit up, but when she looked at him, she asked with some confusion, "What are you eating?"

"Oh, these? I was worried I'd get hungry on the way, so I put two pineapple buns in my bag before I left."

The feeling of hunger was terrifying. This afternoon, he almost pounced on Lu Ren and ate him. This talent was even more of a disaster than he had imagined.

Shen Yaoxing was shocked. "Were we being kidnapped? How could you have the leisure to put two pineapple buns in your pocket at that time, especially since you weren't even full yet?"

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you a professional?"

Lu Ren stuffed two pineapple buns into his mouth in one bite: "I guess you could say that, but I don't have any skills."

"No skills? You mean you awakened your class talent, but haven't acquired any skills yet?"

"More or less."

Shen Yaoxing stood up, patted the dust off his backside, and said, "I see. Some professionals do have a particularly large appetite. But since you're also a professional, I'm even more confident now."

"Confidence? What confidence?"

Lu Ren, with a pineapple bun in his mouth, didn't know what she was saying.

Shen Yaoxing didn't say a word, she just looked at him and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
