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

Chapter 25 Ready to Depart!

Zhuge Tao then explained some precautions to Jiang Lan before turning to her and saying:

"That's all. I've told you everything I needed to. As for the rest, you'll have to figure it out for yourself in the wilderness."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Tao."

Some of the things Zhuge Tao told him were still very useful.

For example, if you need to make repairs but there is no one around, you can choose to go to the upper floors of an abandoned residential building.

For example, the smell and sound of blood will attract the attention of other monsters, and fighting in a place where monsters are densely packed may be dangerous.

There are also monsters that you hunt; some parts of their bodies are valuable and can be sold or exchanged for contribution points at the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall.

However, this point is probably of no use to Jiang Lan.

After all, the monsters he hunts are unlikely to leave behind any corpses, let alone materials.

In short, Jiang Lan benefited greatly from Zhuge Tao's words, and was able to avoid a lot of trouble during her trip to the wilderness.

Therefore, his gratitude was heartfelt.

"There's no need for formalities between us," Zhuge Tao continued. "When do you plan to set off?"

Jiang Lan considered it for a moment.

"Let's do it tomorrow."

The items he just bought were not custom-made; under normal circumstances, they could be delivered on the same day.

The three days mentioned earlier is just the slowest possible timeframe.

Once the items were delivered, he had nothing else to do in Mingyue Residential Area.

There's no time to lose; if we can improve our strength as soon as possible, he'll have fewer concerns.

Things are fine now, but we have to keep many things hidden.

If Jiang Lan remembers correctly, the strongest person on Earth right now, Hong, the master of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, is probably around the sixth level of the Planetary Realm.

However, due to the existence of his domain, his true combat power is practically invincible among all planet-level martial artists.

If he can improve his strength to be similar to Hong's, he won't have to be so timid and hesitant in doing things in the future.

"So urgent?"

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's mention of the time, Zhuge Tao asked with some surprise, "Didn't you just return from the wilderness? Aren't you going to rest for a couple of days?"

Jiang Lan grinned, "No need, I can't stay idle."

With an opportunity to improve his abilities right in front of him, it would be strange if Jiang Lan could settle down and stay in Mingyue Community.

"Well... alright..." Zhuge Tao was somewhat amazed by Jiang Lan's efforts. "Then I'll take you there tomorrow. I happen to have a plane, so it'll be more convenient."

"Thank you then."

Jiang Lan didn't hesitate much and immediately agreed.

Traveling to remote areas by train is not only inconvenient, but also wastes a lot of time on the road.

Therefore, Jiang Lan had no reason to refuse Zhuge Tao's offer to give it to him.

"Okay, I'll head back now. Call me before you leave tomorrow and I'll come pick you up."

"Thank you for your help," Jiang Lan said gratefully.

Zhuge Tao had nothing but praise for him.

Although his genius played a big part in this, Jiang Lan was still very grateful to Zhuge Tao.

"It's nothing, go back and prepare well."

"Um."

Jiang Lan nodded and stood up from the sofa in the reception room. "Then I'll be leaving now."

Zhuge Tao smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Oh, and by the way, call Wu Tong over here for me."

Jiang Lan left the room, took the elevator to the first floor, and saw Wu Tong standing at the elevator entrance.

"You're down here? Where's Manager Zhuge?" Wu Tong asked hurriedly as soon as he saw Jiang Lan.

"Manager Zhuge is still there; he wants you to come over."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong's face lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly, "Then I'll go first, and we'll talk again later."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked up to the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Jiang Lan smiled.

He's probably going to get a promotion.

Indeed, it's impossible not to get promoted after recruiting such a rare genius like Jiang Lan for the Limitless Martial Arts Academy.

If Wu Tong hadn't lacked the necessary skills, Jiang Lan wouldn't have been surprised if he had been promoted to the head of the main branch in the Jiangnan base city.

……

evening.

"Ding-dong—Ding-dong—"

Jiang Lan was sitting on the sofa in the villa's living room when she heard the doorbell ring.

His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly got up from the sofa, ran to the door, and opened the security door.

Outside the door stood a man dressed in a well-tailored black suit, with a silver-white metal box beside him and a small box in his hand.

Upon seeing Jiang Lan, the middle-aged man said:

"Mr. Jiang Lan, this is the first level of 'World Destruction' that you purchased this morning, as well as a complete set of combat uniforms suitable for advanced warriors."

As he spoke, a hint of envy flickered in the middle-aged man's eyes.

That was created personally by the Master of the Institution, the world's number one secret manual, "World Destruction".

Although it's only the first level, it's already something countless people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

To put it bluntly, even if he delivered goods for a lifetime, he might not be able to save up enough money for this first layer of expenses.

Thank you.

Jiang Lan grinned and took the box from the man's hand.

The man bowed slightly. "The item has been delivered. Please inspect it."

Jiang Lan nodded and pressed her finger into a dent in the silver box.

"Beep, fingerprint verification successful."

With a click, the box lock opened automatically, revealing the secret manual inside.

In addition to a booklet, there are two CDs.

The booklet contained the name of the secret manual.

Apocalypse

The two large characters are vigorous and powerful. Although they are just printed, they still have a kind of momentum that seems to want to break through the sky.

"If there are no problems, please sign your name here."

The middle-aged man handed Jiang Lan a receipt and a pen.

Jiang Lan wrote her name on the form with a flourish and handed it back to the middle-aged man.

"Yes, sir."

The man took the receipt, then looked up at Jiang Lan and solemnly said:

"There is one thing you need to be aware of: you only have the right to learn the manual, not the right to pass it on. You are also not allowed to copy the manual or sell it privately. If you violate this rule, you will be hunted down by the Extreme Martial Arts School, the Thunder Martial Arts School, the underground alliance, and military forces."

Jiang Lan nodded; he naturally understood this principle.

However, he himself had no intention of learning the "World Destroyer" spear technique, let alone spreading it to others.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Have a nice day."

After saying that, the middle-aged man put the large box into Jiang Lan's room and then left.

He approached the large box, unlocked it, and a black and red combat suit appeared before him.

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow. To be honest, this combat uniform is actually quite good-looking.

With its black and red color scheme and the logo of the Extreme Martial Arts School printed on the back, it's clearly a high-end product.

Jiang Lan put the things aside, a hint of anticipation creeping into her heart.

All preparations are complete. Now, let's go!
