Xingtie: Starting from the Cloud Five period

Danheng was indeed in a bad mood.

It certainly wasn't because of his two partners' energy—he was certainly used to that.

It was because of the video I had just seen.

This made him realize that he might encounter many dangerous things in the future, and that even if he tried his best, he would not be able to protect his companions.

Will Onpharos be able to successfully acquire his new abilities? Will he be able to protect them then?

A sense of anxiety arose in his heart.

However, he has always been good at keeping his emotions to himself and would never express them to his friends.

So he acted somewhat indifferently towards the monkey on the ground.

When he heard the monkey's cry, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuan and March 7 covering their mouths and winking at each other.

……never mind.

No matter what, I will protect my companions.

Dan Heng sighed and reminded the two people who hadn't been able to communicate successfully with their eyes.

"It made a sound."

Jiang Yuan and San Yueqi glanced at Dan Heng first.

Only after confirming that he had calmed down did I go over to look at the monkeys.

Dan Heng thrust the knife forward.

The monkey lying on the ground tried to tilt its head back, its eyes almost crossed as it focused on the tip of the knife.

"Haw!"

It made the sounds a monkey should make.

"Can't you speak human language?" March 7th asked.

"I've tried it, and if it's not fake, this is the only sound it can make right now."

Dan Heng sheathed his sword.

A whetstone appeared before him.

Jiang Yuan smiled at him: "I'll give you the whole set."

"...I have no interest in skinning animals." Dan Heng did not take the whetstone and returned the knife to Jiang Yuan.

"Okay, then I'll continue using it to cut vegetables from now on."

"If that's the case, then I don't want to try your cooking anytime soon."

The knife, of course, didn't actually land on the monkey.

But on March 7th, when Jiang Yuan mentioned using it to skin the monkey, she felt the knife was becoming less hygienic.

"Just kidding!"

The knife flew through Jiang Yuan's hands as he grinned.

"Why would I take out my own cooking utensils and waste them?"

With a flick of his wrist, the knife and whetstone in his hand vanished simultaneously.

"Come on, let me see if it's fake or real... Ah, it's real."

"You mean the virus has recovered its effects and can only make monkey noises now?"

Jiang Yuan slowly shook his head: "No, no, it's not just that."

"Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense."

Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers: "Alright, I've now neutralized the virus."

He lifted the monkey's head with two fingers.

"Try saying two more sentences?"

"Chirp!" The monkey thought it could speak, but what it made was still just a monkey's chirp.

"It's fake?" March 7th handed Jiang Yuan a tissue to wipe his hands later.

Jiang Yuan released his grip, and the monkey's head slammed to the ground with a thud.

He slowly wiped his hands: "It's true, you could say it's a backlash."

The toy that the adult left him was not so simple.

The monkey, driven by anger, broke through some of the controls, and what awaited him was the punishment brought by the virus.

Jiang Yuan concluded: "In short, it won't be able to speak human language for the next period of time."

……

"Does that mean we can't get any answers from it now?" Walter pondered upon arriving at the scene. "It seems we need to lock it up for a while."

Jiang Yuan scratched his head sheepishly: "It seems so?"

From this perspective, the backlash from the virus has both positive and negative aspects.

It's good that the monkey can't do anything; it can only live as a monkey for a while now.

The downside, of course, is that it can't answer other people's questions during this time.

However, they didn't have any questions they were in a hurry to answer, and the monkey was completely cut off from the outside world.

"Have you forgotten?" Dan Heng, the external brain, said, "that we can communicate using mobile phones or other devices?"

Walter coughed and pushed up his glasses: "I almost forgot, thank goodness Danheng thought of that."

Jiang Yuan wasn't embarrassed at all: "I didn't remember. As expected, Teacher Danheng is the most reliable!"

The monkey was handed over to Sunday Robin and a few others who arrived to deal with it.

That was the end of the train crew's business.

Oh, I wouldn't say everything's fine, it's just that there's nothing related to monkeys anymore.

The three-person train crew bid farewell to the others and continued their journey.

This time, we're not going shopping on the Huichangshi; we're going to choose a first mate to manage this place.

After all, they will be leaving soon and cannot stay here indefinitely.

The situation in the next map, Onpharos, is complicated, and they probably won't have time to come back every now and then to check on the development there.

Finding a first mate is simple; just discuss it and choose one from the three.

That was what Jiang Yuan and March 7 originally thought.

Who would have thought that they only discussed it briefly in their conversation?

It seems that someone overheard what happened, because a long list of people came to recommend themselves to others.

"That's not right." March 7th peeked into the crowd queuing outside the captain's cabin. "Weren't there only three?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment: "This is probably the difference between games and reality. After all, in a game, it would take too long to choose one person from so many people."

Thinking about it, March 7th makes sense.

"So, do you have a skip function?"

“I’m sorry,” Dan Heng said calmly, “no.”

March 7th frowned and thought for a while.

"...Jiang Yuan, quickly use your clever brain to think of a solution!"

Jiang Yuan quickly borrowed the words from March 7th.

"Teacher Danheng, quickly use your clever brain to think of a solution!"

He also felt that a skip button was needed at this moment.

Even with his brilliant mind, Teacher Danheng couldn't conjure up the special ability to skip over real-life experiences.

He stood up: "Let's go."

"where to?"

"Go out and select people."

The two followed Danheng out the door.

As soon as they stepped outside, many eyes fell on them.

The main issue was with Dan Heng, because Jiang Yuan and San Yueqi squeezed behind him.

Before Dan Heng could turn around and say anything, he suddenly realized that the two figures behind him had vanished.

He turned his head sharply and saw two little birds chirping behind him.

The pink one asked, "What are you doing?"

Gray replied, "I suddenly thought of something fun."

The pink one asked again, "What?"

The gray one leaned close to the former's ear and whispered something.

Half a minute later, Teacher Danheng leaned on his shoulder to welcome the two little birds back.

The little bird, on its left and right sides, tried to hide its body behind his head, while also stretching out one wing.

"Danheng," Jiang Yuan muttered softly, "take a picture quickly."

"Take a picture of me too."

The camera fell into Danheng's hand as he saw the familiar object.

Danheng picked up his phone and looked at it.

These two really hid their bodies so well that only one of them had a wing.

You can't see anything from other angles.

From the front, it looks like he has an extra pair of ear feathers.

"Is something missing?"

Hearing the sound of filming, March 7th poked his head out and saw the photos on Danheng's phone.

"We're missing the Celestial Ring." Jiang Yuan slapped his forehead. "Ah, how could I forget that!"

"what?"

Jiang Yuan rummaged through his backpack for a while.

"Dang Dang!"

He pulled out a celestial ring with wings attached, so realistically it looked as if it had been taken directly from the Celestial Ring Clan.

Danheng put away his phone, trying to ignore the two's actions.

He calmly addressed the line of job applicants, "You may begin your self-introductions now."
