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

Chapter 34 Things have come to this, let's go to sleep first.

Jiang Lan raised his watch and looked at the balance on it, a smile appearing on his face.

Twenty-three million three hundred thousand.

This money came so easily.

Although it doesn't seem like a lot of money.

The problem is that Jiang Lan obtained those monster materials that were just sold in just three hours.

And he killed him on the way.

From this perspective, the income is quite substantial.

Jiang Lan estimated that if he focused on hunting monsters to sell for money, and if he was lucky, he might be able to earn ten small goals a day.

If you could even encounter a lord-level monster, earning billions a day wouldn't be a dream.

However, Jiang Lan wasn't interested in that.

Let alone 10 billion, even 100 trillion would be of no use to him.

No matter how much money you earn on Earth, you can only spend it on Earth.

As an indigenous planet, Earth's currency is not recognized in space; it's so cheap it's not even good enough to wipe your bottom.

Before long, Jiang Lan will become a planetary or even celestial level martial artist. At that time, he will definitely not be able to stay on Earth. Therefore, the currency on Earth is enough for him. Earning too much is not very useful.

Jiang Lan looked up at the number 'G8' on the villa's doorplate, took out her key, and gently swiped it across the lock. The door opened automatically.

Stepping into the villa, the decor wasn't luxurious, but it was clean and cozy, with bright and spotless windows.

He walked into the villa, sat on the sofa in the living room, and let out a long sigh.

The continuous killing over the past few days had left him somewhat exhausted, and he hadn't even had a proper night's sleep, only managing to doze off for ten or twenty minutes at a time.

Jiang Lan initially planned to replenish her supplies at this supply base and then head straight to her next destination.

But once he arrived at the villa, he didn't want to leave.

There's an old saying that goes, "Since we're already here..."

Since we're already here, there's nothing wrong with taking a nap before leaving, right?

Moreover, he wasn't doing this to sleep, but to conserve his energy so he could hunt monsters more efficiently later.

Having found enough excuses for her laziness, Jiang Lan put on her slippers and walked into the bathroom with a clear conscience.

I need to take a shower first!

A trip to the wilderness leaves you covered in blood; someone with OCD might go crazy.

However, Jiang Lan was not stained with too much blood this time; there were only dried bloodstains on her hands and some exposed skin.

This is all thanks to the combat uniform he was wearing.

Made of special materials, it is waterproof, stain-resistant, blood-splatter-proof, oil-proof, and even resistant to knife and axe cuts, making it the perfect choice for home, travel, and even murder and robbery.

After taking off the combat uniform, I rinsed it with the showerhead, and the uniform was immediately clean and new, without leaving any watermarks.

After washing her combat uniform, Jiang Lan began to wash herself.

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Lan stood in front of the full-length mirror, admiring her own beauty.

In the past few days, not only has his physical fitness improved dramatically, but he has also grown taller by half a head.

If it weren't for the combat suit's ability to adapt to different sizes to some extent, Jiang Lan would have been forced to fight monsters naked.

In the mirror, Jiang Lan's body was perfect.

His muscles aren't exaggerated, but they present a perfect streamlined shape, like a cheetah in the jungle, full of healthy beauty.

These streamlined muscles conceal explosive power.

His facial features are more defined than before, with deep-set eyes, making him a handsome man indeed.

In his past life, with that kind of looks, he could easily have played a domineering CEO in a TV drama with some makeup.

Just as Jiang Lan was admiring himself, a strange feeling inexplicably arose in his heart.

It was as if he were trapped inside a screen, and on the other side of the screen were countless faces that were hundreds of times more handsome than him, resembling Daniel Wu and Eddie Peng, observing his every move.

Shaking her head to clear the absurd thought from her mind, Jiang Lan put on her clothes and went into the bedroom.

sleep!

Lying on the long-missed large bed, Jiang Lan closed her eyes contentedly.

But before he could fall asleep, his wristwatch suddenly vibrated slightly.

Someone at the supply base also requested help?

This was Jiang Lan's first thought.

When he raised his wrist, he saw that the watch did not display a distress signal, but a phone call from Zhuge Tao.

Jiang Lan pressed the answer button and said:

"Hey, Tao-ge."

"You're not in the wilderness area?" Zhuge Tao asked, sounding somewhat surprised. "I thought you were there. I was going to leave you a message."

"Oh, no, I just got back and I'm at the supply base now."

"Why did you come back after only three days? Are you having trouble adjusting?" Zhuge Tao asked with a smile. "It's normal to be having trouble adjusting. Being alone in the wilderness means facing constant danger and increasing psychological pressure. You've already done a good job of lasting three days."

Jiang Lan: "..."

What is it that I don't feel comfortable with?

I clearly wanted to change the map, okay?

Despite his thoughts, Jiang Lan had no interest in refuting Zhuge Tao on this topic.

Let him say whatever he wants.

Jiang Lan changed the subject:

"What's wrong? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing major, just that headquarters sent word that you've been selected for the elite training camp, and they asked me to let you know."

"Oh, this..."

Jiang Lan remembered that when Zhuge Tao asked him to join the elite training camp, he hadn't completely refused, only saying that he would talk about it later.

But it's only been a few days! They've already agreed to his selection?

On the other end of the watch, Zhuge Tao's voice sounded again:

"There's more good news. Normally, the elite training camp only recruits geniuses in March each year. But you've been specially approved by the headmaster to be exempt from this restriction and can directly become a transfer student. So, you should prepare during this time, and once you're ready, you can go directly there."

Jiang Lan's lips twitched.

Brother Tao, thank you so much!

Although she was somewhat unhappy, Jiang Lan didn't harbor any resentment.

After all, Zhuge Tao didn't know he had a system, and all the things he did were for his own good. So, on the contrary, Jiang Lan was actually quite grateful to Zhuge Tao.

"Well, I need to stay in the wilderness area for a while longer. Let's talk about it later, or maybe I can go there next year when enrollment starts?"

Jiang Lan declined.

He won't even need next year, or even a month, before he's already at the planetary level.

When that time comes, the elite training camp can't possibly still accept him, right?

Even the teachers aren't as capable as him, so why would they hire him to teach?

Therefore, as long as Jiang Lan can stall for this period of time, the elite training camp project will naturally fall through.

"You brat, what am I supposed to say to you?!" On the other end of the phone, Zhuge Tao said with a hint of exasperation, "Elite training camp! Graduating at least guarantees you'll be a War God, a War God! Don't you want to become a War God?"

Jiang Lan remained silent for a moment.

"Brother Tao, I'm already one..."
