My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

"Hiss... There's only one. That girl has been hiding from us for days, and we only found her trail today." The second team member behind him answered through gritted teeth, clutching his abdominal wound.

Well, she just happened to run into it again.

Lu Zhao did not rush to stand up, but squatted down and observed the battle situation for a while.

The woman opposite me must be at least a B-level expert. She can skillfully and quickly solidify the concrete beneath her feet, creating a product that is both offensive and defensive, making her a difficult opponent.

As for her own side... no matter how she looked at it, she felt that the lineup was a bit weak.

There are now only three people left. One of them, a male telekinetic, should be the main attacker, but his attacks are all blocked by the boulder.

As for the other man and woman, the woman's ability should be stealth thrust, but it would be completely useless against such a high-defense opponent.

The other man looked much taller than normal, and it was likely that he possessed physical defense abilities. However, in this situation, he could only defend the main attacker against the opponent's attacks.

In conclusion, it's truly shameful that five people could be beaten this badly by one person.

Chapter 46 First Battle

Don't rush into the battle; if possible, observe as much as possible.

For no reason, this sentence suddenly popped into Lu Zhao's mind. He was a little helpless. He definitely couldn't have summarized this kind of experience himself. The only possibility was that the original owner's remaining consciousness was reminding him.

Well, although she was a little annoyed, she had to admit that having such a consciousness assisting her did make her feel much more at ease.

However, the battle had become visibly intense. The telekinetics on their side were unable to break through the earthen walls that appeared at any time, while another male team member was constantly under the main attack, and his sturdy body had been pierced with several red holes.

As for the other female team member, although she was quick and had hardly been injured, her speed visibly decreased as the battle dragged on, indicating that she was starting to run out of energy.

On the other hand, the woman who was being besieged by them stood still and didn't move much, yet she was able to effectively defend against the attacks and inflict damage on her own side. Moreover, earth-type abilities are inherently very patient, and judging from her energy, she could probably hold out until tomorrow morning.

This is a situation where one person drags five people down with them.

"You..." the injured teammate behind him said weakly, "Why aren't you going up yet! Use your fire!"

Lu Zhao was speechless and choked with emotion.

Does this person not understand science at all?!

They just smashed a lot of perfume on the ground. The perfume is evaporating into the air, and if she lights a flame, it will definitely ignite the entire floor!

She might be able to escape unscathed, but none of them, including the spirit race member they're trying to capture, will be able to leave here alive!

Her abilities are currently temporarily restricted; rushing in recklessly would only result in certain death.

With a heavy sigh, she decided to ignore the guy behind her for the time being, told him that he could use the obstacles here to escape first, and then resolutely got up, picked up two steel pipes that she had taken off the clothes rack pole and walked over.

The flame cannot be emitted outwards, but it can heat things.

As another massive boulder hurtled towards the hulking figure, Lu Zhao's eyes narrowed, his body tensed, and at the very moment of impact, he deftly stepped over the obstacles in his path, nimbly landing on the hulking figure's shoulder, and leaped high into the air—

In the instant she felt weightless, she looked at the boulder coming straight at her, quickly heated the steel pipe in her hand, and plunged it into the boulder just before it melted!

"Grab my feet!"

She only had time to shout once before she felt her right foot being firmly gripped by someone behind her.

Excellent, truly an elite.

Like waving a giant lollipop, her body was abruptly redirected in mid-air, flying violently toward the woman behind the boulder.

Go eat dirt!

With her hands gripping the last remaining section of the steel pipe tightly, and using the force the large man had just given her, Lu Zhao's hands propelled the boulder beside her, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

The earth-elemental woman was startled. Several shields made of reinforced concrete rapidly emerged from the ground, but they were shattered to pieces by the boulder in Lu Zhao's hand the moment they solidified.

After several violent tremors, the boulder was finally held back by the earth-elemental woman with great effort.

However, as a price, her seemingly strong and powerful arms began to tremble.

Where no one could see, a smile appeared on Lu Zhao's face, hidden behind the boulder.

I've been infected.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the boulder in front of her. She immediately turned around and shouted to the three people behind her, "Run! Don't look back!"

The three of them paused for a moment, but their subconscious sense of danger prevented them from hesitating. The big guy scooped up the telekinetic, while the remaining female team member took the lead with her speed.

"What tricks are you playing!" This was the first time the earth-elemental woman had spoken since she joined the battle. Like her appearance, her voice was deep and muffled.

Lu Zhao watched them escape from sight before turning around, slowly releasing his hand from the boulder, and smiling innocently. "Playing in the mud, you need to add some fire to make it more fun, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a stream of liquid, like lava, flowing out from the boulder.

The woman panicked, her hand jerking back in fright at the sudden increase in temperature of the boulder. Even so, the boulder, now without support, inevitably fell to the ground, and the "magma" flowing out from it also ignited the entire area of ​​perfume-soaked ground beneath her feet.

The flames spread immediately, turning most of the shopping mall floor into an inferno.

"Ugh... Ahhh!"

The moment it was surrounded by the high temperature, the opponent subconsciously tried to condense the earth again to protect itself, but was accidentally stained by the sparks on the "shield" and had to kneel on the ground in pain and howl.

Lu Zhao sighed and walked towards her step by step. Wherever his footsteps passed, all the flames automatically parted to make way for her.

"Don't resist, it will hurt a lot." She reached out and pulled back the sparks that were about to spread all over the other person's body, but even so, she could clearly see that a hole had been burned through the other person's palm.

The power of the white flames is something that ordinary bodies cannot withstand.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, reluctantly averting her gaze, and helped the person up from the ground, murmuring softly, "I'm sorry."

She didn't want to hurt anyone; if possible, she would prefer to end this struggle without any casualties.

But the reality is that if they don't take action themselves, those five people will simply be worn down and die here.

She was at least prepared to stand by and watch those five people die without doing anything.

"White Flame, withdraw."

She glanced up at the fire around her and spoke calmly. The next second, all the flames around her gathered together like soldiers obeying a king's command, and rushed into her chest at the same time.

Ouch...it's really hot.

Subconsciously touching her unharmed chest, she turned her head to look at the woman who was in so much pain that she had no strength left. After hesitating for a moment, she bent down and carried the woman on her back, step by step, out of the scorched earth.

"They're out! They're out!"

Only when he heard Xia Zhifei's joyful shouts did Lu Zhao raise his head, glance at the already dark sky, and carefully put the woman on his back on the ground.

Turning back to face the five men who were looking at her with complicated expressions, she remained silent for a moment, then indifferently looked away and left without saying a word, pulling Xia Zhifei along.

Chapter Forty-Seven: The Mysterious Delivery

"Those guys in the second team are going to get criticized again, but who told them to start arresting people without even evacuating the crowd?"

"Li Manqiu's face will probably be terribly ugly tomorrow. She's leading a bunch of useless teammates, and it'll probably be a tough job for her too."

"By the way, Ah Zhao, your sick leave will be over tomorrow. Remember to go to work on time."

Xia Zhifei kept talking nonstop beside him, but Lu Zhao only responded occasionally; his mind was completely elsewhere.

If injuring the man who attacked her in the hospital was unintentional, then capturing the earth-elemental spirit was entirely a result of her own will.

In the past twenty years, she had never encountered a similar situation, nor had she ever had the intention to hurt anyone.

She didn't know why she was so calm at the time, but now that she thought about it, her legs felt weak. If Xia Zhifei hadn't been there, she probably would have collapsed to the ground.

In that world, she was just an ordinary person, and could only ever be an ordinary person. She didn't need to fight or kill; she could just live a peaceful life.

But things are different here. Without me, those five people might really be killed on the spot.

She saved their lives, but she couldn't feel happy at all.

Such situations will become more and more frequent in the future, and in desperate situations, one may even have to be prepared to commit murder.

Is she really ready for all of this?

Lu Zhao could not confirm.

The only thing she was certain of was that, whether she was ready or not, what was going to happen would happen, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Before they knew it, they had walked back to the entrance of the community. Xia Zhifei smiled and greeted the security guard on duty, then pulled her along as they continued walking inside.

"Oh, right, Miss Xia, Miss Lu!" The security guard quickly called out to them, took a package from the guardhouse and handed it to Lu Zhao. "This has Miss Lu's name on it, but you weren't home when the delivery came today, so it's just being stored here for now."

Lu Zhao took the phone somewhat blankly. She did recall receiving a call earlier that day, but she was busy training and didn't have time to answer it.

These were probably bought by the original owner of this body; I'm not in the mood for online shopping right now.

It's been over twenty days since I transmigrated here, and it's only just arrived. Are the courier companies in this world really that bad?

After thanking the security guard, Lu Zhao didn't rush to open the package. Instead, she waited until she got home before carefully examining the small parcel. However, there was no information on it, only her name and phone number.

In her mind, only privately consigned items or goods that were difficult to talk about would be handled in such a private manner.

Could it be... that the original owner bought some adult products?

Her lips twitched involuntarily. She didn't dare to open the package in front of Xia Zhifei. She took the package into the room and carefully opened it with scissors.

Inside a thick layer of foam protective shell was a small black box.

This is...

Curious, she took out the box and opened it, and saw a delicate jade round pendant lying quietly inside. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the letters SL were engraved on the back.

SL?

Upon seeing these two letters, what immediately popped into Lu Zhao's mind was the SL technique, a method commonly used by gamers. The full name is Save/Load or Save&Load, which refers to achieving certain goals in a game by saving and loading save files.

In visual novels, save/load (SL) is used the most because visual novels require a lot of choices and branching routes with characters. Whether it's experiencing the game, unlocking endings, or unlocking the complete CG collection, this tool is essential.

But now, this pendant, which looks like it was made specifically for this purpose, is engraved with "SL," which makes Lu Zhao think more about it.

Could it be that there are other transmigrators in this world who have noticed my anomaly and sent me something specifically to remind me that this world can be cleared by save-scumming?

With a sense of doubt, Lu Zhao looked at the air in front of him and hesitantly asked, "System?"

"Game settings?"

"Open interface?"

"Customer service contact?"

There was absolutely no reaction; not even a ripple appeared in the air, let alone the game interface.
