Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

"You can just call me Chen Le. My father used to work for Brother Zhang, so I have some understanding of your information."

Jiang Hua glanced at the letter written on the envelope.

The entire text describes just how dangerous the Valley of Monuments they are going to is.

At the same time, he was also reminding his son to be careful of Brother Zhang and not to be deceived by Brother Zhang's kind and benevolent appearance.

"What's the point of showing us this letter? Is it to warn us to be careful of Brother Zhang?"

Jiang Hua looked up at Chen Le in front of him and said.

Hearing Jiang Hua's words, Chen Le simply tilted his head and did not directly answer Jiang Hua.

It seemed like the implication was to tell Jiang Hua, "I didn't think that way."

“I didn’t mean that. What you think is your business. I’m just showing you my father’s letter. If you don’t want to read it, just give it back to me.”

As Chen Le spoke, he put the letter away.

"Actually, the reason I called you out was to join your team. My father lost his life in this Stele Valley, but I am not worried at all. After all, this was my father's life's pursuit, and I want to fulfill my father's last wish."

Chen Le spoke with great conviction, as if he were just a young man chasing his dreams.

But after Chen Le finished collecting them, Lao Wang and Qin Feng couldn't help but make sounds of disgust.

After all, Chen Le in front of him looked really thin and weak.

It's obvious that if he were to run a kilometer right now, he'd probably have to walk slowly for the last few hundred meters.

"It's not that we're trying to discourage you, but with your physique, are you sure you can come with us on this mission? Besides, you know how dangerous this Stele Valley is. What if you just hold us back if we take you along?"

Qin Feng stepped forward and examined Chen Le closely, scrutinizing him like an inspector.

Chen Le was suddenly suspected by Qin Feng, and he couldn't help but snort, seemingly dissatisfied with Qin Feng's underestimation of him.

"You're not unaware that this mission mainly relies on knowledge, not physical strength. Do you know how smart I am?"

Chen Le looked at Qin Feng in front of him with an arrogant expression.

Judging from Chen Le's expression, Qin Feng is like a three-year-old child in front of him.

With just a few tricks, Qin Feng could be made to lose to him immediately, and that look in his eyes made Jiang Hua curious.

"If you're so good at it, why don't you go yourself?"

Old Wang was also nearby at this time, and he couldn't stand his arrogant appearance.

So he immediately asked Chen Le in front of him.

When this question came up, Chen Le glanced at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng a little embarrassedly.

"Although I am intelligent, as you can see, my physical fitness is not very good. If you really want to go to this Stele Valley, you need to be physically fit. However, I cannot improve my physical fitness in a short period of time, so I thought I would rely on the team's strength."

Chen Le's words made sense, and Jiang Hua nodded in agreement.

However, Qin Feng and Lao Wang, who were standing nearby, immediately became unhappy.

"That's what we say, but why do you want to rely on our team's strength? We didn't agree to let you join us. What good would it do us if you joined us? Besides, we'd have to share some of our resources with you. Wouldn't that be a losing proposition for us?"

Old Wang, hands on his hips, struck a fierce pose and spoke to Chen Le. However, Chen Le remained unfazed by Old Wang's menacing demeanor and continued to leisurely eat his food.

It was as if nothing in the outside world could stop him from eating.

Jiang Hua found Lao Wang's expression somewhat amusing, so he patted Lao Wang on the shoulder, signaling him to stop talking. "I can let you join our team, but you must agree to one condition."

Jiang Hua's words stunned Qin Feng, Lao Wang, and the other two.

They originally thought Jiang Hua would test this young man in front of him, so why did he agree to let him join the group so quickly?

"Jiang Hua, what are you doing? Why did you let him get so worked up all of a sudden? I didn't even agree to his request. What if he's just lying to us? Besides, he spoke ill of Brother Zhang. I think he's sent by Brother Zhang's enemy!"

Old Wang immediately became anxious and said to Jiang Hua in front of him.

"Don't worry, he shouldn't be someone sent by Brother Zhang's enemies."

Although Jiang Hua has no direct evidence to prove his statement.

But Jiang Hua's intuition told him that this young man probably didn't mean them any harm.

He simply wanted to use their strength to get to this Stele Valley.

“People like you are so petty. Look at Jiang Hua, he needs that kind of magnanimity. He needs to rely on multiple forces to succeed. You don’t know how to use the strength of others. How can you succeed in your mission?”

Chen Le snorted and continued to express his disdain for Qin Feng and Lao Wang.

At this moment, Yun, who was standing next to him, raised his eyebrows and asked Chen Le a few questions.

These questions left Lao Wang and Qin Feng, who were standing nearby, completely baffled.

I have absolutely no idea what kind of question Yun asked.

Jiang Hua, who was standing next to her, knew that Yun was just helping him to investigate Chen Le when she asked him questions.

However, it is commendable that Chen Le was able to answer Yun's series of questions with confidence.

Even with some complex physics problems, Chen Le only pondered them for a while.

“I believe his IQ must be quite high, after all, there are some physics problems that even I can’t solve.”

As Yun spoke, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the others.

Qin Feng and Lao Wang are completely bewildered.

I originally wanted to make things difficult for Chen Le by asking him some challenging questions.

However, from what we just observed, it's clear that what they know is far less than what Chen Le knows.

So Qin Feng and Lao Wang exchanged a glance and then silently shut their mouths.

Jiang Hua couldn't help but laugh at their funny antics.

"So, do you two think he's qualified to join our team? If you don't think he's qualified, then I'll consider rejecting him."

As Jiang Hua spoke, she looked up at Chen Le.

It seemed like he was about to say no to him at any moment, but after Qin Feng and Lao Wang heard it, they immediately reached out and handed Jiang Hua over to him.

"Why discourage him? He wants to fulfill his father's unfulfilled wish. We can't just ignore his filial piety, can we?"

Qin Feng coughed and said, pretending to be serious.

At this point, Old Wang nodded in agreement, indicating that he thought the same thing. (End of Chapter)
