Gu Ran doesn't like women younger than me.
With the air of an empress, she calmly smiled at Lee Eun-sook and said, "It seems you admire my boyfriend very much, little sister."
She deliberately emphasized the word "small".
But Li Enshu didn't heed Su Xiaoqiang's teasing.
“Yes! He actually managed to kill a crocodile with a single sword strike… cough cough.” Lee Eun-sook stopped herself in her tracks, “Killing a crocodile with a single sword strike, um, I admire him a lot.”
"Kill a crocodile?" Su Xiaoqiang asked in confusion, "Does your school keep crocodiles?"
"Oh, yes, our school studies ancient reptiles, and we often use crocodiles in our research. Crocodiles are known as living fossils of reptiles!" Lu Mingfei smoothly brought the conversation back on track.
"Yes, Gu Ran is very brave. He's always the first one to charge into the crocodile pool!" Fingel has become obsessed with a new game called LOL these days, and his favorite character is Garen with his greatsword.
Su Xiaoqiang imagined Gu Ran charging at the crocodile with a sword, and then suddenly thought of an old movie she had seen when she was a child, "The Crocodile Killer Pool," in which a group of people died tragically in the mouth of a large crocodile.
"How can I get expelled from your school? I want to bring Gu Ran back!" Su Xiaoqiang couldn't let her boyfriend die in the jaws of a crocodile!
Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang had taken it seriously, Lu Mingfei immediately made up another lie:
"Okay, okay, senior was just joking. We always have the farmers catch the crocodiles; we don't have to do it ourselves."
After saying that, he gave Fingel a wink.
“Right, right,” Fingel said, his eyes darting around. “The so-called one-sword-killing-a-crocodile refers to the game, where Gu Ran single-handedly killed a crocodile!”
"Which game?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, still somewhat skeptical.
"Dinosaur King!" Lu Mingfei couldn't keep up the charade and quickly changed the subject. "Alright, alright, let's not stand here at the train station anymore, let's go have some fun! Speaking of which, I haven't really explored Chicago properly yet! I heard there are lots of fun places near the Marine Corps Pier..."
"What's the point of shopping with you guys?" Su Xiaoqiang pouted in dissatisfaction.
Lee Eun-sook also said, "Yeah, I want to go shopping with Gu Ran oppa. It's a bit boring being with you guys."
“Hey, you little junior girls,” Fingel said somewhat indignantly, “eighth-grade seniors are much more reliable than younger boys.”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, showing off his well-developed muscles.
Lu Mingfei was very curious. Fingel didn't go to the gym and just ate and slept every day. He didn't know how Fingel had grown such muscles.
"I'm bored, I'm going back to the hotel to sleep," Su Xiaoqiang said.
At this moment, Li Enshu went over and, as if they were old friends, hugged Su Xiaoqiang's arm and said with a smile, "Brother and sister-in-law, I want to go back to the hotel with you too!"
"What did you call me?"
“Brother and sister-in-law, you’re Gu Ran oppa’s girlfriend, right? Oh, in modern Chinese you should be called sister-in-law!” Lee Eun-sook suddenly remembered that “brother and sister-in-law” was a term used in South Korean.
Perhaps because of this address of "sister-in-law," Su Xiaoqiang found Li Enshu more agreeable at this moment.
She put her arm around Lee Eun-sook's shoulder and said, "Let's go, little sister."
Lee Eun-sook smiled slyly and secretly turned around to make a face at Lu Mingfei and Finger.
With a bitter face, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to go to the hotel with them.
He took the train to Chicago specifically because he felt sorry for Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang traveled across the ocean to see her boyfriend, but she couldn't find him. She must be very disappointed.
Gu Ran left again on another mission and was unaware of this matter.
Lu Mingfei felt that out of brotherly loyalty, and also because he and Su Xiaoqiang had been classmates for many years, he should come and see her so that she wouldn't be lonely.
Of course, he couldn't say this outright. The little fairy was a very proud person, and if he said it, he would definitely be driven away.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei sent Gu Ran another text message, asking him how the mission was progressing and how long it would take to finish.
However, Gu Ran did not reply.
Because at that time, he was treating someone's poison, and his phone was turned off.
……
Suddenly, a jolt and vibration came from the bed.
Gu Ran woke up groggily, and the first thing she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
I remember falling asleep on a hospital bunk bed.
He rubbed his eyes and realized he seemed to be in an airplane cabin...
Am I on an airplane?
Gu Ran immediately checked his pockets and found the blood-stained handkerchief still inside the sealed bag.
He breathed a sigh of relief and submitted the blood sample to the system.
[Testing the collected blood sample, please wait...]
[Samson's blood sample, subspecies quality, fire attribute]
[Rewards are being processed, please wait...]
[Reward Chakra: 3 card, current total Chakra: 7 cards]
[Learned S-rank ninjutsu: Yin Seal and Yin Seal Release]
[Sharingan 2-Tomoe Unlock Progress: 6/6, Gained the Ability to Copy]
【解锁3勾玉进度:0/12,提示:收集12个A级以上血样,可以解锁3勾玉写轮眼】
The total amount of chakra has increased, and the two-tomoe Sharingan has also been unlocked.
However, unlocking the 3rd level requires twelve A-grade blood samples.
It seems a bit difficult.
As for the S-rank ninjutsu Yin Seal, it is a sealing technique that can accumulate chakra and seal it in the forehead. When needed, the seal can be released to replenish chakra.
It's like carrying an extra chakra power bank.
"You're awake, classmate?" At this moment, a young and beautiful white flight attendant walked over and smiled at him.
"Where am I?" Gu Ran looked around and found that all his equipment, including his phone and wallet, was still there.
"This is Chicago Airport. You're still on the plane; we just landed too." The young flight attendant handed Gu Ran an envelope. "This is from Principal Angers, who asked me to give it to you."
Gu Ran opened the envelope; inside was a letter from Angers:
"I'm sorry, my child. This mission has caused you to miss your date with your girlfriend. To make it up to you, I've transported you back to Chicago while you were asleep, so you can have some time to spend with your girlfriend. I'll use my privilege as the principal to ask your teachers for leave for you."
Inside the envelope was a black card, the same supplementary credit card I'd seen before, and the cardholder's name was Angers.
Gu Ran took out his phone, turned it on, and glanced at the time. It was already 7 a.m. Chicago time on the 3rd.
He probably slept for less than seven hours.
There were also text messages from Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang on the phone, which stated the location of their hotel.
Rubbing her rumbling stomach, Gu Ran said weakly to the flight attendant, "Could you arrange a car for me? I need to go somewhere."
……
Half an hour later.
A hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan.
At the long table in the lawn restaurant, Gu Ran had already eaten two steaks.
He was really starving.
Chapter 113 Getting 10 US Dollars for Free
Gu Ran hasn't been eating properly for the past two days.
Moreover, I fell asleep without eating anything last night, and I was really hungry.
I was woken up by hunger for a large part of the morning.
As he was eating his third steak, Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei, and the other two walked over together.
Su Xiaoqiang wore a simple black dress, her hair was loose and unkempt, and she had only washed her face casually without putting on makeup.
But she's beautiful even without makeup.
Gu Ran wiped his mouth with a napkin and then reached out to his girlfriend.
Su Xiaoqiang took two quick steps and immediately took her boyfriend's warm hand in hers.
The two hadn't seen each other for over a month. She had imagined talking a lot with her boyfriend when they met again, but now she couldn't utter a single word.
Gu Ran stood up and gently hugged her.
"Have a seat first." Gu Ran pinched Su Xiaoqiang's cheek and then let her sit down next to him.
Seeing that his girlfriend was only wearing a skirt, and that the Chicago autumn morning was slightly chilly, he took off his school uniform and draped it over Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang's body immediately felt the residual body heat from Gu Ran's clothes.
Seeing Gu Ran return safely, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.
In his view, the school's mission was most likely to be to slay dragons, which was an extremely dangerous task.
He asked Gu Ran, "Nothing happened, right?"
Gu Ran shook her head: "It's nothing."
“Yeah, what could possibly happen? School missions don’t always end in death…” Fingel interrupted mid-sentence, “School missions aren’t just about rote learning; practice is the only way to truly learn!”
"Oppa, I want a hug too!" Lee Eun-sook opened her arms to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran pressed her little head and pushed her back: "I won't hug you, your sister-in-law will be jealous."
“Oh…” Lee Eun-sook pouted like a little girl and glanced at Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang smiled calmly.
"Please sit down, everyone. It's my treat today," Gu Ran said with a smile. "Thank you all for coming and taking care of my girlfriend."
"I didn't take good care of him..." Lu Mingfei said somewhat embarrassedly.
Su Xiaoqiang booked a suite with two rooms, and he spent the whole day playing games with Suger in the living room yesterday.
Only Li Enshu and Su Xiaoqiang were together. It's unclear what the two girls talked about, but they chatted for a long time.
