Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 24 Preparations Before Heading to the Wilderness

Just as Jiang Lan was pondering, his cell phone, which he had placed aside, suddenly rang.

When I picked up the phone, I saw that it was Zhuge Tao calling.

Jiang Lan was taken aback.

That's right, he had just thought of Zhuge Tao when the phone rang.

"Hey, Tao, what's up?"

Jiang Lan answered the phone and asked into the receiver.

On the other end of the phone, Zhuge Tao's voice came through, "Wu Tong said you're planning to go to the wilderness area alone?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Zhuge Tao asked. "You just came back from the wilderness area, and you know how dangerous it is. If you're with a team, you can help each other if something happens. If you go out alone, you'll have to be constantly aware of your surroundings, and you won't even be able to sleep soundly. Why bother?"

Jiang Lan thought for a moment and said:

"I still want to go by myself. I feel awkward if someone is next to me when I'm hunting monsters."

This was just Jiang Lan's excuse, of course. There was nothing awkward about it; it was simply because he didn't want to expose the system if there were other people around.

"You brat... when you went to the wilderness with the Master's personal guards, you didn't complain at all."

"That's different..."

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I can't really advise you anymore." Zhuge Tao's tone became more serious. "However, in the wilderness, you must be careful. If anything happens, don't hesitate to ask for help."

"Ask for help?" Jiang Lan was momentarily confused. "How do we ask for help?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhuge Tao slapped his forehead.

"I was in too much of a rush before and forgot to tell you this." Zhuge Tao paused for a moment, then continued, "How about this, I'll go over there in a bit, and we can talk about it again."

Jiang Lan agreed:

"OK."

"Then wait for me a moment." After saying that, Zhuge Tao was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Lan stopped her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Lan looked at the computer screen and said into the microphone, "Didn't we say before that I could choose any secret manual and guiding technique? I think this World Destruction one is pretty good, can I choose it?"

On the other side, Zhuge Tao remained silent for a moment.

After a long pause, he said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Well... if you want to choose, of course you can, but you can only choose the first floor. As for the rest, you'll have to buy them yourself."

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow. "Then it's alright."

He thought the Extreme Martial Arts Academy was really that generous, directly giving him a secret manual worth a hundred billion.

The result is only the first layer.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lan clicked on the details of the gun technique "World Destruction".

The above shows the price of the entire manual, all six levels, is 1000 billion.

If you only buy the first floor, the price will be much cheaper, only 2 million Chinese yuan, and half price only 1 million yuan.

Without much hesitation, Jiang Lan directly purchased the first level of the manual.

I bought this not because it's amazing, but simply because Jiang Lan is rather lazy.

In "Apocalypse", there is not only a set of spear techniques, but also matching movement techniques and guiding techniques.

So after buying this, Jiang Lan didn't need to choose anything else.

He casually placed his phone on the table, stood up, went back to the bathroom closet, and changed his clothes.

It must be said that the Extreme Martial Arts Academy treats its martial artists very well.

Even the clothes in the wardrobe were prepared in advance by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Lan sat in the living room on the first floor, preparing to go out later.

Judging from what Zhuge Tao just said, he wanted to come over in person to talk to him about some common sense and precautions.

Jiang Lan was happy to agree.

As long as he can go to the wilderness alone, he doesn't mind being nagged a bit more.

A dozen minutes later, a booming sound came from the horizon.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Lan also stood up from the sofa, pushed open the door and walked out of the villa.

As the plane landed, Zhuge Tao, dressed in a Tang suit, stepped out of the cabin and saw Jiang Lan standing beside him. He smiled and said:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, I just arrived too."

Zhuge Tao continued, "Let's go inside the guild hall and talk."

Jiang Lan followed behind Zhuge Tao, and the two entered the hall together.

As soon as I entered, the elevator door in the corner of the lobby opened, and Wu Tong stepped out.

Wu Tong took three steps in two and came to Zhuge Tao and the other man's side.

"Supervisor, what brings you here?"

"It's nothing." Zhuge Tao looked at Wu Tongdao: "Find me a quiet place, I need to chat with Jiang Lan for a while."

"OK."

Wu Tong immediately led the way, taking the two of them by elevator to a meeting room on the third floor.

After escorting Zhuge Tao and Jiang Lan into their room, Wu Tong stood at the door and said:

"Manager Zhuge, is there anything else?"

"It's nothing." Zhuge Tao waved his hand casually. "You can go out now."

Wu Tong nodded in agreement, pushed the door shut, and left.

Zhuge Tao looked at Jiang Lan and smiled, "Don't be shy, sit down."

Jiang Lan sat on the sofa in the reception room, while Zhuge Tao took a box from his pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Lan, saying:

"This is the latest model of a communication watch. Try it on first."

After unpacking, Jiang Lan put the watch on her wrist.

The watch lights up automatically, and the screen displays the words "Pairing".

Zhuge Tao continued his introduction:

"This is a communication watch, which is generally used by martial artists. It is made of sturdy materials and can be used for communication in emergencies. In addition, the watch also has satellite communication and time-checking functions, among others."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan lowered her head and studied the watch on her wrist for a while before looking up at Zhuge Tao and saying:

"Thank you for the expense, Brother Tao."

"It's nothing, this thing isn't worth much, only 100,000."

Zhuge Tao waved his hand.

For a high-ranking general like him, 100,000 Chinese yuan is really not much money.

Hunting a monster in the wilderness could be worth hundreds of millions or even millions.

"What I mainly want to tell you about is the GPS tracking function in this watch. See that red emergency button on the watch?"

Jiang Lan looked at the watch and noticed a raised red button on it. She nodded and said:

"I saw it."

"This is specially made by our Extreme Martial Arts Academy. As long as you press this button, the watch will automatically send out a distress signal. At that time, all martial artists within a 10-kilometer radius of you will be able to receive your distress message. If any of the martial artists from the same Extreme Martial Arts Academy receive it, they will most likely choose to come and rescue you."

Jiang Lan's eyes lit up.

Although if he's careful, he'll most likely never need to use this feature.

But this distress signal function is indeed well-designed and will certainly reduce a lot of casualties.

"So if you set off into a wilderness area on your own, remember to send a distress signal if you encounter danger. Of course, you may also receive distress signals from others; if you can ensure your own safety, then help them!"
