One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

"Brother Lan, don't go! I'll miss you!"

At the entrance of Tianjin Airport, Zhang Chulan clung to Jiang Bailan's leg, crying and shouting, giving the surrounding passersby a taste of what it means to be shameless.

During this period, following Jiang Bailan's training methods, Zhang Chulan found that his strength had improved significantly, and he had become more flexible in using lightning techniques.

Most importantly, his lightning technique has become more solid. Although it cannot compare to the black lightning released by Zhang Lingyu, it is not much inferior. With such a good teacher, he naturally cannot bear to let him leave in order to win the championship in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

"Alright, stop pretending. You have a good foundation. As long as you cultivate diligently, catching up with Zhang Lingyu won't be difficult."

Jiang Bailan's words were not unfounded, or rather, his so-called cultivation method was merely icing on the cake.

The real reason is that Zhang Chulan himself has exceptional talent.

Even after a 10-year gap following Zhang Xilin's death, the opponent's Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic still possess such strength, which is enough to demonstrate his talent.

"Brother Lan, I..."

"Ok?"

Upon realizing that the other party still wanted to keep nagging, Jiang Bailan, wearing black sunglasses, began to show some impatience in her eyes. She slowly raised her right hand, and a faint, almost imperceptible light shone from her fingertips.

Are you trying to stop me from going on vacation?

Jiang Bailan felt that this kid was already courting death.

The same recipe, the same taste. Brother Lan is still Brother Lan, just as before. He's still ready to fight at the drop of a hat.

"Alright, Chu Lan," Xu Si interrupted her shameless behavior, handed Jiang Bailan a business card, and said, "Relax and have someone pick you up when you get there."

After accepting the business card, Jiang Bailan waved goodbye to everyone and walked into the airport.

-

Three hours later.

Evening at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.

"Xiao Jiang, over here!"

As soon as Jiang Bailan stepped out of the airport, she heard someone call her name.

Following the sound, one could see a menacing man wearing a gray-green shirt, with a scar over his right eye and multiple stitches on his face.

If Xu Si hadn't warned him beforehand, he would have thought he had encountered the underworld.

However, Jiang Bailan felt that this guy looked more like the person in charge of Na Du Tong than Xu San and Xu Si. After all, when dealing with supernatural beings, it's really not good to look too kind.

Look at Xu San, not many people in Tianjin give him face. When something happens, they still have to rely on Xu Si and Feng Baobao.

These two guys, just standing there, give off the vibe of a thug and a delinquent girl.

"Brother Liao, thank you for coming to pick me up." Jiang Bailan said, gripping the other person's hand tightly.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Liao Zhong laughed heartily and said, "It's nothing, no big deal!"

However, Jiang Bailan couldn't compliment that smile.

Liao Zhong's muscular face gave him the impression that he could scare a child to tears. He wondered if the employees of Huanan Nadutong Company used this person in charge to frighten their children at night.

Although Liao Zhong was smiling, he kept scrutinizing Jiang Bailan out of the corner of his eye. He was very curious about what made this guy, whom Xu Si valued, so special.

"Who is this?"

Looking at the girl next to Liao Zhong, who was wearing the uniform of Nadutong Company and a baseball cap, Jiang Bailan asked with some familiarity.

"Chen Duo."

As if hearing Jiang Bailan's question, the girl who had been looking down at her phone raised her head, looked at Jiang Bailan with her emerald green eyes that seemed to speak, and answered softly.

It really is Chen Duo!

It looks like she's become a temporary worker in South China!

Thinking about the other person's future fate, Jiang Bailan didn't feel too much emotion. Perhaps, just like Feng Baobao said in the anime, "There's no reason why, she's just unlucky."

I met the wrong person at the wrong time.

Honest Ma Xianhong only won against Liao Zhongyi by accident.

However, even without Ma Xianhong, Jiang Bailan didn't think Chen Duo would follow Liao Zhong's wishes. After all, people from different worlds can't understand each other's intentions.

Thinking about it from a different perspective, Jiang Bailan felt that Chen Duo was actually more like herself in some ways, both having their own views on life.

One option is to give up and enjoy life.

It's simply the right to choose.

"Jiang Bailan!"

He then extended his palm, ready to shake hands with the other person.

Seeing that the other party remained motionless for a long time, standing there dumbfounded, Jiang Bailan touched his chin, not expecting that he was so unwelcome.

"Fine, if you don't want to shake it, then forget it!"

Seeing this, Liao Zhong prepared to smooth things over for Chen Duo. Originally, he didn't need to bring her to pick up Jiang Bailan this time, but in order to let Chen Duo interact more with other people her age and better integrate into society, he brought her along this time.

But this casual remark seemed to flip a switch on Chen Duo, and she immediately reached out and clasped hands with him.

how can that be!

Chen Duo actually changed her mind!

What on earth did this guy do?!

In Liao Zhong's mind, Chen Duo, who had a cold personality, would never be so proactive.

At that moment, Chen Duo had only one thought in her mind: This was my own choice.

Liao Zhong had no idea what Chen Duo was thinking, but he knew that Jiang Bailan must have done something to change Chen Duo's mind.

"Hahaha! Xiao Jiang, let's go! I've already booked a restaurant."

Upon hearing that the other party had booked a restaurant, Jiang Bailan, who was looking for a free ride, naturally wouldn't refuse and quickly got into the other party's car.

Jiang Bailan and Chen Duo remained silent throughout the journey, watching each other play Plants vs. Zombies. The only word to describe their skill was "utterly terrible."

Even though the enemy was incredibly fast, she didn't deploy any Moon Towers that could slow them down, which he found unbearable. He really wanted to take over and play for her.

Watching his opponent play the game, he also pulled out his "far ahead" card and opened Honor of Kings.

Looking at the match on the screen with "Zhuangzhuang", Jiang Bailan's forehead immediately showed several black lines, and he asked the soul-searching question, "How come I always run into you?"

He was as fierce as a tiger in his actions, but the result was 0-5.

Pentakill!

No matter how fast Jiang Bailan's hands were or how quick her reactions were, she couldn't compare to Er Zhuang, who had directly entered the online world, and was naturally utterly defeated.

"You're so bad!"

A message appeared on the game's public chat.

What is this?

Just as Jiang Bailan was being mocked by Erzhuang, Chen Duo, who was standing nearby, came over after hearing the voice of the five-kill, her eyes full of curiosity. She thought this game seemed more fun than Plants vs. Zombies.

Seeing the other person's curious look, Jiang Bailan's lips twitched. You're someone who gets stuck on Plants vs. Zombies, and you want to play this?

Jiang Bailan: "You want to play?"

Chen Duo: "Mmm! (Nods)"

Jiang Bailan: "Give me your phone, I'll download it for you."

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Duo held her phone, listening to the "Defeat" message, staring blankly out the window, as if asking herself why she was playing this game.

Jiang Bailan glanced over and saw that the score was 0-28, and there were still people from Zaun continuously spamming in the public chat. How bad could they be?

Seeing this, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that Chen Duo had been chasing a female supernatural being who had escaped from Biyou Village during the period before the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, which led to her encounter with Ma Xianhong and laid the groundwork for a series of events that followed.

Looking at this pitiful girl who was unlucky in life and terrible at games, Jiang Bailan rubbed his chin and thought to himself.

So...should we lend her a hand?
