Han Muxue said with an expressionless face, "Let give you a heads up, never mind the team leader, but her fiancé is not only handso and strong, his family is incredibly powerful. It would be no trouble for him to stuff you into a sack and toss you into a lake."
Xia Qingrou looked devastated, "Honey, you can look at mine, okay? You'd rather look at soone else's under their skirt than mine. That hurts my feelings, you know!"
"What are you talking about?" Shen Mochen cocked his head, sporting an innocent and puzzled look.
"Just keep pretending, braised chicken!" Han Muxue said, looking disdainfully at Shen Mochen.
Shen Mochen's face was unflushed and his breathing steady as he shalessly asked, "What's 'braised chicken'?"
Xia Qingrou opened the tailgate of the pickup, pushed Han Muxue onto it, and laughed heartily without a care in the world, "She's saying you're perverted, sleazy, and trashy."
Shen Mochen's mouth twitched slightly. I didn't an to look, it's not fair to attack personally like this! And why are you laughing so happily? Soone is insulting your husband!
"Can you drive?" Xia Qingrou asked.
"I can't. I just ca of age and haven't had ti to get a driver's license yet," Shen Mochen said.
"Oh, no worries, I don't have a driver's license either! Just practice more and you'll get it!" Xia Qingrou chirped and hopped into the driver's seat.
Sitting in the back of the pickup were Shen Mochen and Han Muxue, with Shen Mochen casually resting his hand on the wheelchair, thickening his skin to chat with Han Muxue, "Does the team leader always go ahead alone?"
Han Muxue didn't give Shen Mochen a pleasant look, but she still earnestly answered a question related to combat, "Yes, to prevent monsters from escaping, she always controls the scene as soon as possible. Cai Yuncui used to follow her. She would turn into a big bird, sothing you should know."
Shen Mochen asked, "But Sister Cai has retired, now it's just the team leader alone, isn't that a problem?"
"There's basically no problem. Cai Yuncui may or may not have told you, but there are three radars on the periter of the node that will sound an alarm the mont a rift opens. There's an alarm inside the house that will ring upon receiving the signal, and the walkie-talkie will go off as well. However, there is a process from when the spatial rift opens to when the monsters actually co out, and that ti is enough for us to get there. Even if monsters co out before we arrive, they won't be in large numbers, and we can catch up by car. The team leader goes ahead just to be cautious. She usually doesn't struggle alone against the monsters."
"I see..." Shen Mochen nodded.
"Monsters are classified into levels A through F. The manual issued by the authorities should have ntioned it. The nodes here are relatively small, and we mostly encounter levels E and F monsters, which are weak in combat and have an intelligence lower than wild beasts, so it's relatively safe. But don't let your guard down. Land monsters are easier to handle, but it's different with flying ones, they're fast and very dangerous. So if you don't want to die, it's best to stay close to and not wander off."
"Oh, okay." Shen Mochen nodded obediently, then asked again, "So a Level A monster is the strongest, right?"
"As far as I know, that's correct. However, I've never encountered a Level A. I've been in Buque for a year, and I've only seen three Level B monsters, two of which were in the past three months."
"Are Level B monsters very strong?"
Han Muxue fell silent for a mont, "...They are very strong. My gravity control has very limited effect on them. Even Xiao Xingshuang can only barely defeat them. If she weren't around, I'd have to use an amplifier... But I've heard that amplifiers can cause so damage to internal organs, though they say it's minor. However, it's best not to use them unless absolutely necessary."
Cause damage to the internal organs? Shen Mochen was startled. What about Yin Caiyu then, still relying on the amplifier to keep her breathing?
He first felt a chill in his heart, even if the impact is small, short-term use wouldn't be a problem, but it certainly won't work in the long run.
It seems I need to unlock other superpowers quickly!
While they talked, the car had already reached its destination, the entire trip taking no more than three minutes.
Shen Mochen, quick on the uptake, had the partition down before Xia Qingrou could do so, and then got out of the car after Han Muxue.
Liu Chaoyan glanced at the three of them from a distance, but did not approach. The tornado spun around her. The intense wind pressure could be felt even a hundred ters away by Shen Mochen.
"This is what it looks like when she has her superpower fully activated. Don't approach Yanyan at tis like this; it's very dangerous," Xia Qingrou said as she got out of the car with an uncommonly serious expression.
Today's first lesson was to teach Shen Mochen how to ensure his own safety in the presence of his teammates' superpowers.
"Also, try not to be in a straight line with the monsters, or other teammates, because if you find yourself in danger, I might accidentally hit a teammate while shooting arrows at the monsters."
As Xia Qingrou spoke, the wind around Liu Chaoyan stopped, and then she quickly ran towards them.
"Stop!" Han Muxue, holding a walkie-talkie, yelled loudly.
Liu Chaoyan imdiately halted.
"No matter what, when Xuexue says stop, you have to stop right away. Don't approach her, as that ans you're about to enter the range of her superpower. When her superpower is activated, she has a domain, with the greatest gravity on the outermost edge, typically used to suppress monsters. Ordinary people might die if they enter. Although she can control the size of her domain, if you suddenly walk in, she might not have ti to adjust. On the other hand, Shuangshuang's superpower is the safest. The giants she summons are for lee combat, so as long as you don't ss up, there's generally no threat. When she gets back from her vacation, you can ask her to demonstrate," Xia Qingrou continued.
"Superpower deactivated," Han Muxue reported into the walkie-talkie.
Liu Chaoyan quickly ran over. The communication was kept open during Shen Mochen's lesson, so she also knew what Shen Mochen had learned.
"Did you really release your superpower just now?" Shen Mochen curiously asked Han Muxue.
"It was just a simulation. Are you a dimwit?" Han Muxue said irritably. "In any case, for this morning, learn how to stay alive!"
Liu Chaoyan and the others simulated a series of scenarios for Shen Mochen, such as where to run when encountering a monster near a teammate who is in danger; how to cope with being attacked by multiple monsters at once; how to coordinate with teammates to ensure his own personal safety...
Shen Mochen took the training very seriously, knowing full well that his life was at stake, and he had no wish to die just yet.
Shen Mochen had innate talent and was quite clever, so he made rapid progress, mastering the combat experiences of the others by the end of the morning. Although it was uncertain how much of this he would be able to apply in actual combat, he was impeccable during training.
At noon, the group went back for a self-heating hot pot and rested for a while.
Previously, Cai Yuncui would cook, but now that Cai Yuncui was gone, Liu Chaoyan and Xia Qingrou were still learning. And judging by Xia Qingrou's cooking skills demonstrated today, they would likely be relying on self-heating als for quite so ti.
Technically, the team mbers could order takeout, but delivery could only reach the edges of the node at the Sentinel, requiring them to pick it up themselves. Not to ntion the hassle, the food would also be cold by the ti it arrived.
Because of the node's danger, the area surrounding it was mostly fields, a good distance from any town.
In the afternoon, they returned to the simulation site. Liu Chaoyan smiled and said, "You did very well this morning, much better than . When I first arrived, it took two to three days to barely adapt. You've familiarized yourself with our superpowers this morning, so this afternoon, let us familiarize ourselves with your superpower."
"Yeah, co on, show us your superpower!" Xia Qingrou said with a grin, humph.
