27th, Sunday, early morning.

After breakfast, Zuo Xiuyan bought all the bullets and supplies, and went to the agreed passage. He found Cheng Li looking around in the crowd with a little nervousness on his face.

The other party was indeed not late, and even arrived early.

"Sorry for the long wait." Zuo Xiuyan walked in front of her.

"No, no!" Cheng Li laughed suddenly, as if relieved. "There were too many people. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find you."

When they entered the wilderness at 6 o'clock, Zuo Xiuyan found that Cheng Li was looking straight ahead with fast steps, as if she was eager to rush forward. If the crowd had not restricted her, she should have been able to walk even faster.

Do you have a goal? Zuo Xiuyan thought to himself.

Cheng Li was a little sloppy yesterday, just following others, but today he seemed to know what to do and had a plan.

As the crowd gradually thinned out, Cheng Li looked over and said solemnly, "Zuo Xiuyan, my mental strength has increased by more than 20 points, so I can provide you with more energy today."

"Growing so fast?" Zuo Xiuyan was slightly surprised. The second place on the list currently only grew by 7 to 10 points a day.

"I didn't expect that either." Cheng Li's tone rose a little, his tone was joyful, but he tried to suppress it and maintain a serious state, "I think it's the effect of using up all the energy."

"Before, whether I used skills or not, the daily increase was fixed at 3 to 4 points."

"Plus, the people I assisted before didn't have as much mental energy as you do, so I didn't need to consume too much, so I never experienced the feeling of exhausting my mental energy."

"That's great." Zuo Xiuyan responded with a smile, "You have found a way to grow steadily."

This is Cheng Li's own way of growing up.

Everyone has a path that suits them, and a path that is unique to them, but discovering that path takes time and requires different attempts.

"Yeah." Cheng Li nodded, "This way I can catch up..."

She paused and changed the subject, "The fastest...speed is 300."

Zuo Xiuyan looked at Cheng Li.

The other party's performance today was completely different from yesterday.

He laughs less, speaks more concisely, uses fewer interjections and repetitions, and is trying hard to create a calm and capable image.

People have a chameleon effect, which means they will unconsciously imitate the speaking and actions of people around them.

But this effect is much smaller and less noticeable, and even the person imitating it may not be aware of it.

But Cheng Li, she is not.

She is, deliberately imitating.

Out of the desire for recognition and emotional interaction, when we want to have a closer connection with someone, we will deliberately learn the other person's words and actions.

Zuo Xiuyan guessed what Cheng Li was thinking.

She raised her hand to operate the bracelet.

"Ding! You have a new friend request."

Cheng Li was stunned for a moment and glanced at his bracelet.

"Huh?" She looked at Zuo Xiuyan with her eyes wide open, then lowered her head to look at the bracelet: "Huh?"

"Why did you add me suddenly?"

"It's convenient to contact you." Zuo Xiuyan didn't mention anything, which would only make the other party embarrassed. "It just so happens that the team page can add you directly."

"Oh." Cheng Li suppressed his excitement and said seriously, "Then you can call me when you need help."

"Okay." Zuo Xiuyan smiled and nodded.

Judging from the current contacts, Cheng Li is a good person. If her abilities become stronger in the future, we will have more opportunities to interact with her. There is nothing wrong in making friends with her.

This is also a matter of course.

The two of them were on the same journey as yesterday, and Zuo Xiuyan was responsible for clearing out the monsters.

But the difference was that today, Cheng Li was observing Zuo Xiuyan's movements with particular concentration, as if he was trying to remember how she used the rope to move the dagger.

When they arrived at the nest, Cheng Li put down his bag and took the initiative to stand next to Zuo Xiuyan instead of behind him.

While running, she walked side by side with Zuo Xiuyan. Even though she was panting heavily, she did not fall behind and did not say a word the whole time.

After lunch, Zuo Xiuyan handed over the dagger, but this time, he did not remove the rope.

Cheng Li took it in surprise: "I was just about to say that I want to try wearing a rope today..."

She paused.

Staring at Zuo Xiuyan with a complicated expression.

"How do you feel..."

"You seem to be able to read my thoughts?"

"Maybe." Zuo Xiuyan said with a smile.

"Ah?" Cheng Li blinked a few times, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "No, isn't it?"

"So when you added a friend this morning, did that mean..."

You know you want to add a friend, but you’re too embarrassed to ask, so you add them in advance?

It seemed that since they met, she could always tell what he was thinking. This...

This is simply mind reading!

All the things I did today to try to get close to others had already been seen through by others, so I didn't say anything.

Will it make me look scheming?

She quickly looked away and stammered, "I just...that..."

"that is……"

She hid her hands behind her back and fiddled with her fingers, becoming at a loss.

What would Zuo Xiuyan think of me? This is too...

Cheng Li felt a little panicked for a moment. He couldn't possibly know everything he said to himself last night.

It’s not impossible…

Cheng Li saw that Zuo Xiuyan was still patiently waiting for her to speak. Her ears gradually turned red. She stamped her feet, turned around and ran away: "Hey, don't think too much! I'm going to kill the monster first."

Zuo Xiuyan smiled and shook his head: "He ran away again."

Isn't it just about making friends? What else can you think about?

The two of them each occupied an area to clear monsters, and at 5 o'clock Zuo Xiuyan was ready to retreat. For the exam, they had to leave earlier than usual.

Cheng Li wiped the dagger clean and returned it, saying that he wanted to go and take a look together.

The two of them went to the exit together, and after eating, they came to the second floor of the hall.

This is the examination room.

The overall layout is to leave a spacious square area in the middle as the waiting area.

At the top of the "mouth" shape, there is a large screen that is 22 meters long and 16 meters wide.

Independent single rooms were set up as examination rooms on the other three sides, with ten rooms on each side.

At this time, many people were sitting on the chairs placed in the central area and chatting. A rough glance showed that there were at least a hundred people, far exceeding the number of 30 candidates.

If it weren't for the lack of height difference, it would look like a large cinema hall.

"Why are there so many people?" Cheng Li looked around.

Zuo Xiuyan pointed at the screen and said, "Others are here to watch a movie."

"What?" Cheng Li was confused.

"The name of the film is, Crazy Monster City. And the actors are..."

"30 candidates."
