"Shenlu even gave us an hour to prepare."

Ling Yi looked at the clock——

10:32.

"Then we'll go in at half past eleven...let's have lunch early."

Only when you are full can you have the strength to work.

Even if players have extraordinary powers, they still have to eat and sleep.

Unless you have corresponding special abilities.

He just saw Lin Shurou walking into the kitchen in a bathrobe. At that time, he had to mutate things, so he didn't think much about it.

Now that I think about it, it feels weird.

He quietly walked to the kitchen door and peeked in.

I saw Lin Shurou standing in front of the refrigerator, looking up and drinking something. The refrigerator door was still open, as if she wanted to put it back after finishing the drink.

‘Nothing to do...’

He used his teleportation ability to sneak behind her and frowned slightly when he saw that she was holding a bottle of light red, strange-looking liquid in her hands.

He glanced at the inside of the refrigerator and found that there were three rows of bottles containing this liquid.

'What's this?'

He subconsciously used his eyes of truth to check.

[Bottled·Dilute Growth Water (e)]: Diluted growth liquid, long-term drinking helps to develop the body. It tastes better if refrigerated~

Ling Yi: "..."

After a while, Lin Shurou, who had half drunk the bottle in her hand, capped it again and put it back.

When I turned around and saw him, I was startled.

"Ah! What are you doing here?"

"Watch you drink water."

Hearing this, Lin Shurou quickly lowered her head, her pretty face gradually turned pink, and she hesitated to say something: "This, this... because... that..."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Ling Yi waved his hand and directly expressed his intention to her: "I will go to your area in an hour. Let's start lunch early."

"Okay, no problem...ah!?"

Lin Shurou nodded, then frowned, her little face full of surprise, and said, "What was your last sentence?"

"I have applied for rescue in your area."

"What!? You're not kidding!!?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

Lin Shurou stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief.

Her blue eyes were wide open, as if she were meeting him for the first time, and they were full of surprise.

"Didn't you just talk about it at the beginning?" she asked in shock.

"Of course not." Ling Yi shook his head.

"Have you submitted your application?"

"I mentioned it."

Lin Shurou pursed her lips tightly and stared at Ling Yi blankly with her blue eyes.

The surprise on his face gradually turned into seriousness.

Seeing the other person's pretendingly relaxed young appearance and the perseverance revealed in his deep eyes, she clenched her teeth and was speechless.

"I..."

At this moment, she had so many emotions intertwined in her heart that she didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Ling Yi waved his hand casually, turned and left the kitchen.

...

[Luo Yao: Boss, boss, congratulations on breaking the record.]

As soon as he walked out, he received a message from Luo Yao.

This guy probably didn't just come to congratulate him. Ling Yi guessed that she had other things.

As expected, her next words revealed her purpose.

[Luo Yao: Boss, you should be the first one to reach level 10 in our period. I have a friend who wants to get to know you because of a special bet. Can I recommend you to her?]

[Zero One: OK.]

He guessed it was the daughter of the Xia family.

It seems her name is Xia Wanqing?

[Luo Yao: Because her own forum cannot be opened, so she has to be here to find you, so our chat will end here first?]

[Zero One: Okay.]

After answering this sentence, it took a while before an application message appeared.

[Midsummer Stars requests to add you as a friend]

After he agreed, the chat interface with Xia Wanqing automatically popped up.

After waiting for quite a while, the other party sent the first message.

[Midsummer Stars: Hello, I am Xia Wanqing.]

[Zero One: Hello.]

[Midsummer Stars: Are you sure you are the first to reach level 10 in this issue?]

The other party's words were very direct, but Ling Yi knew what was going on with her and understood her mood.

[Zero One: Definitely.]

[Midsummer Stars: Good.]

After that, the other party didn't send any more messages.

After closing the chat panel, Ling Yi couldn't help but guess the guy's purpose.

"Is it just to confirm that it's me?"

Ling Yi, who couldn't find the answer after thinking for a long time, simply stopped thinking. The most important thing at the moment was to read more about the monsters in Area 87.

About half an hour later.

Lin Shurou prepared a sumptuous lunch and called Ling Yi over.

While the latter was enjoying it, she sat aside and watched him quietly.

It took a long time, until the other party finished eating and stood up to leave, that she asked: "Do you have any teammates?"

Ling Yi stood up for a moment, turned to look at her, sat down again, and replied: "No."

"You don't have teammates? Then you, a new player, how dare you go?"

"Because I'm strong enough."

Lin Shurou didn't seem to understand what he meant, and she blinked. Then she changed the subject: "Is it worth it for you?"

Ling Yi: "...You are too wordy."

He was too lazy to stage a love drama with her here. When the time came, he would deal with the devil and there would be no more problems.

After another ten minutes, the time Shenlu gave him to prepare was finally over.

In Lin Shurou's extremely complicated gaze, a beam of light that was white inside and red outside appeared from the void, slowly and softly shining on Ling Yi's body.

She recognized this beam of light, which was the unique light of rescue operations!

Someone had applied for a rescue operation before, and that team was brought into Area 87 by this beam of light in full view of everyone.

After Ling Yi disappeared, Lin Shurou let out a breath, but there was still a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"All of this is actually true..."

In her opinion, entering Area 87 is tantamount to committing suicide.

"He also knew that this was a meaningless act of committing suicide, so in order not to injure others, he did not bring any teammates with him..."

Lin Shurou pursed her lower lip, her heart filled with surprise, joy, and emotion.

She really didn't expect that for an ordinary person like herself, a player would face that kind of despairing demon king and an entire army of monsters in the area.

Although she had accepted him before, until today, it was just a feeling of "finding a good partner on a blind date".
