Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

It's raining in Beijing.

The sound of rain pattering outside the window reached Xie Yuchen, who looked at the Lego model he had just finished building and dialed a phone number.

"Help me buy a factory that's big enough."

"Yes, it's very big."

"No, not for production. It should be a discarded site, and it needs to be large enough. It needs to be completely black, with no light able to get in. I want to build something inside."

With the help of Hei Xiazi, Liu Sang, and others, and with the aid of some high technology, they finally drew up a blueprint.

His task was to build a small blind burial mound based on the blueprints, which would serve as their training ground.

Even though the Zhang family has found a medicine that can prevent people from going blind, the Blind Tomb is a complex place with unknowns such as monsters and insects, so more practice is always a good idea.

He never fights a battle unprepared.

The Xie family is always very efficient, so he doesn't need to worry about that. With the blueprints and models in hand, the construction team can work overnight, and it will take no more than a week.

After arranging the work, Xie Yuchen hung up the phone, leaned back in his chair, felt the incandescent light was a bit too bright, and dimmed it a bit with his phone before rubbing his throbbing temples.

Lego is extremely detailed and has many parts. He concentrated intently and spent more than ten hours assembling it.

This job is too mentally taxing.

It's a good thing he was patient; anyone else would probably have wanted to flip the table after a while.

The sound of rain outside was white noise. He closed his eyes, and his nerves, which had been under high tension for a long time, finally relaxed.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Xie Yuchen suddenly opened his eyes, picked up his phone and glanced at it. The caller ID showed Huo Xiuxiu.

Connect it immediately.

They were all absent, but Shen Mingchao couldn't be without someone by his side. He couldn't trust outsiders, so Huo Xiuxiu was the best choice.

He just enjoys gloating.

They probably find it really interesting to see them get their comeuppance.

"How have you guys been doing lately?"

He spoke first.

"It's good, it's just... she has way too much energy!"

"Oh?" This piqued Xie Yuchen's curiosity, and he pressed for an answer: "What happened?"

Huo Xiuxiu, on the other end of the phone, finally found an outlet for her pent-up emotions and poured out all the things she had been holding back for so long.

"Yesterday, after we finished eating at Haidilao, we were bored and saw that my subordinate had a few dogs. She got interested and said she wanted to help walk them. And guess what happened?"

"She took all three dogs out for a walk, and they were lying on the ground with their tongues sticking out! They were a greyhound, a golden retriever, and a husky!"

"And today, we made plans to go hiking together. The whole hike took about 4 or 5 hours. We were all exhausted when we got to the top, but she took the lead and climbed faster than everyone else without even panting."

"After coming down from the mountain, we had a short break and ate lunch. In the afternoon, we went swimming, and in the evening, we came to practice Taekwondo. We said Jiang Yuan had practiced it, so the two of us came to spar."

"Brother Xiaohua, I was never this tired when I was training at the Huo family. It's almost like a triathlon."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known, I would have let her build this Lego set."

"What Lego?"

"It's nothing." He glanced down at his watch; it was almost 21 PM. Then he asked, "So, you guys broke up?"

"no."

Looking at Shen Mingchao, who was getting more and more into the fight not far away, Huo Xiuxiu said truthfully, "They're fighting right now."

"Jiang Yuan got tired of fighting just now and kept saying she didn't want to fight anymore. She can't stay idle tomorrow, so I found a few more members of the Huo family to go up and be her sparring partners."

"Hiss... Judging by this, we'll have to find a few more later."

As she spoke, Huo Xiuxiu turned her back and muttered to herself:

"Brother Xiaohua, why do I feel like she has inexhaustible energy? Even an iron man couldn't withstand this kind of intensity. Do you think she's really treating you like a magic tonic?"

That sounds very absurd.

But upon closer examination, it's not entirely without reason.

After all, based on Huo Xiuxiu's description, Shen Mingchao's situation was indeed very inhumane.

After a long silence, Xie Yuchen finally uttered only two words: "Hard to say."

"But that's not a bad thing, is it?"

Huo Xiuxiu choked up, then muttered under her breath, "Aren't you worried that she'll treat you like a magic pill too?"

She was met with a soft laugh.

I felt no worry at all; instead, I felt a sense of anticipation.

It was as if to say that if Shen Mingchao really had the ability, then he would play along to the end.

Okay.

Another one has gone mad.

Huo Xiuxiu hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. Things had really developed in ways no one could have predicted.

As it approached 22 PM, everyone finally parted ways.

It was getting late, so Shen Mingchao and Jiang Yuan stayed at the Huo family's house.

After Shen Mingchao finished taking a refreshing shower, there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, a familiar-looking member of the Huo family was standing outside.

He was holding a tray with a celadon bowl on it.

"Miss Shen, this is a lotus seed, white fungus and lily bulb soup that the head of the family ordered the kitchen to stew. It has a sweet and refreshing taste and is perfect for cooling down and relieving summer heat."

"Thank you for your help. Please pass on my thanks to Sister Xiuxiu."

After saying this, Shen Mingchao took the tray and closed the door. Then he walked back to the table and placed the bowl on it.

The fingertip touches the bowl.

It's cold.

Shen Mingchao lowered his eyes and quietly watched the lotus seeds, white fungus, and goji berries floating in the water.

Cooling and relieving summer heat?

It seems to have the same purpose as the prescription given by Hordorf.

That's right, her abnormality is so obvious.

By normal standards, even someone with excellent physical strength would get tired after a day like this.

But she is not tired right now.

My back and legs don't hurt, my mind is sharp, and I'm full of energy, like I've had several injections of adrenaline.

Not only them, but as the person involved, no one knows her physical condition better than her.

Since that day, she has felt a fire burning in her heart.

Endless and without outlet.

She didn't know how long this situation would last, so she could only release her excess energy by hiking and swimming, but it didn't seem to be very effective.

Ugh--

Shen Mingchao sighed softly.

Anyway, apart from feeling a little stifled, it didn't do her any harm.

Let's just let things take their course for now.

Thinking too much will make you lose your hair.

She scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it in her mouth, and the sweetness instantly spread on her tongue, while a slight coolness slid down her throat.

Hmm, it tastes good.

The bowl of soup was quickly emptied.

After finishing his late-night snack, Shen Mingchao got up, stretched, and then collapsed onto the soft bed.

He fell asleep in no time.

The next day, as soon as it was light, Shen Mingchao had just woken up when he received some good news.

[In the Ming Dynasty, the young man woke up]

It was a message from Wu Xie.

A weight has finally been lifted from my heart.

[It's good that you're awake]

But before she could send the message, the fat man's message popped up, saying that the young man was acting strangely.

She changed it to [?].

The fat man replied: [This story begins in the early hours of the morning...]
