The Boys' Weapons (Continued)

Yes, it's a camping training camp, and the location is on the mountain next to ChangKong City, but the main training targets are actually Kevin and Sue.

For Mei, it was just a picnic and a trip.

Following the river upstream, Liu Bai soon saw the lake that Mei had mentioned.

"By the way, Mei, have you prepared your physics paper topic yet? Didn't you start preparing for your paper when you started high school?"

After somewhat awkwardly baiting his hook and casting his line, Liu Bai casually asked Mei a question.

By the way, Mei and the others have already graduated from junior high school, and they will be going to high school next year.

Mei is now a graceful young woman; the little girl she once was is gone forever.

"The topic hasn't been chosen yet, but the direction has been decided— Quantum Mechanics."

"While I'm not surprised by this result, logically speaking, I thought you would choose electromagnetism, which is your father's specialty," Liu Bai said, staring at the calm lake surface.

"Well... it's hard to explain, it just feels like I'm better at it?"

Mei's attention wasn't on the fishing rod or the lake surface at all; instead, she was glancing sideways at the fishing rod next to her.

"Or is it because you, Doctor, taught me so well?"

"Even if you teach well, it's not as good as you learning." Liu Bai shook his head. "What if you encounter any difficulties during the thesis process..."

"Looking for you?" Mei picked up the conversation with a smile, then couldn't help but sigh, "Really... is studying the only thing we have in common?"

"... In fact, what you said is completely inconsistent with the impression I've always had of you."

Mei actually doesn't want to talk about studying...

"What's that saying again... 'A girl changes a lot as she grows up'? I've changed quite a bit too, haven't I?"

Mei looked at her reflection in the lake, and yes, she was smiling.

"In every aspect."

"That's undeniable." Liu Bai glanced at Mei sideways.

That bookish little girl from back then has completely grown up.

It's even possible that he's developed remarkably well because he's been eating a lot due to training over the years.

"So, on a different topic... weight?" Liu Bai said with a hint of teasing.

"You keep bringing up these kinds of low-EQ topics, and you'll lose the students' respect and affection."

Hearing about weight, Mei couldn't help but twitch her lips. Although she had a great figure, she was a little heavier than her classmates with the same body type because of her muscle mass.

She wouldn't mind if others said it, but if Liu Bai said it like that...

Ah, I still mind it, no, I mind it a lot.

"... Anyway, can we skip this topic?"

Mei couldn't bring herself to say she wanted to lose weight, because rationally, she knew it was impossible for her—because her problem wasn't being fat at all!

Mei's current 3D stats are basically at Mei's level.

B:89W:62H:90

To draw a parallel with Durandal, this data doesn't seem to relate to being overweight at all; there's no excess fat on the body, so there's nowhere to lose weight.

You can't exactly cut off your breasts, can you?

She must have been infected by those two idiot junior brothers over there to do this.

"It's rare to have an interesting topic... but it's become unlovable, mei."

"That's what you said to me when I was a child," Mei replied in a sullen, emotionless tone.

"When we were kids, we were kids, and now it's the present... But Mei, you're really not suited for cute roles anymore."

After all, she has the figure of a mature woman, so trying to act cute would just feel weird.

"Because I'm not a child anymore."

Speaking of this, Mei sighed a little, as she actually felt that she was a bit slow-witted when she was young...

"Speaking of which... Doctor, is this all you have to say?"

"What else is there besides these? Do you want to hear about the trouble those two idiots caused—although that is quite interesting, actually."

"Let's skip this one, it'd be a bit of a killjoy." Mei had absolutely no interest in it.

If it weren't for her two junior brothers, now... well, although it was because of those two junior brothers that she had the opportunity to go camping with Liu Bai.

"Then I don't have much to talk about. I've basically been hanging around you guys. Trying to start a conversation isn't really my strong suit."

Liu Bai expressed his helplessness.

The main reason is that Mei is really a good girl. She spends at least 70% of her time studying, so there are only so many topics to joke about, unlike Kevin who has too much energy and runs around everywhere, leaving behind a lot of embarrassing stories.

If it were about Kevin and Sue's embarrassing past, Liu Bai might be able to talk about it until the evening.

"Well... yes, that's true..."

After thinking about it for a while, Mei felt a little discouraged.

"Then, tell me about my other senior classmates? I remember you have other students, right, Doctor?"

"Well... that's true, but there are no senior brothers, only senior sisters." Liu Bai stroked his chin. "But I can't say the specifics, at least not now."

After all, if this kind of thing is not handled properly, it could lead to conflict and require special handling.

"..."

What's wrong with me? I feel a little... a little uneasy.

However, since Liu Bai had said he couldn't say, Mei didn't press him further.

(The professor must have his own reasons for not wanting to say, and if I were to press him, it would seem like I was being inconsiderate.)

The so-called fishing suddenly became boring.

This development is completely different from the information she found online...

"Stop fishing, go catch fish in the river instead... Fishing is only relaxing when you can be patient; if you can't be patient, it's torture."

"Doctor..."

Mei felt like her little secret had been seen through.

"Okay, let's go back then..."

Then...

"Come on, Kevin! I have four! If you can't catch them, I win!"

"Damn it! These fish are so hard to catch... Su! You forced me to do this!"

"Hey! You bastard, you stole my fish!?"

"I stole it with my own skills! If you're so capable, come and take it back!"

Mei: "..."

Liu Bai: "..."

Looking at the two guys in front of him, Liu Bai could only sigh that fishing in the river was truly a skill etched into the DNA of boys.

"Doctor... look at this..."

"... Never mind, anyway, it's confirmed that we can have an extra meal tonight."

These two guys are as troublesome as ever.

Liu Bai and Mei both rubbed their foreheads.

"Let's go and set up a campfire."

"I second that."

"Alright, you two have had enough fun. It's time to get to the formal training."

After a simple dinner, Liu Bai spoke to Kevin, who was lying on the ground—after all, Su couldn't hear him.

"I'm so full... I had so much fun, I don't want to move..."

Kevin lay on the ground looking like a lazy bum.

Su on the other side was in a similar situation, not to mention that Su's physical fitness was not very good.

"..."

Liu Bai barely suppressed the urge to kick the two brats in front of him away and turned to look at Mei.

"Mei, take the things out."

"I see."

Mei nodded, then turned around and took out two cloth bags, one long and one short, from her luggage.

"Let these two lads see."

"Knew."

Mei opened the two cloth bags, and a longsword and a set of dual pistols appeared before Kevin and his companion.

"What... this is!?"

Kevin, who hadn't wanted to move a moment ago, suddenly sprang to his feet.

"T-Teacher, are these both for me?!"

"..."

Do you have any shame?

"This is all we have."

Mei nonchalantly tossed the longsword in her hand to Kevin —she wasn't surprised by anything the idiot did anyway.

"The Electromagnetic Sword is simple in construction and brutal in function. See the button on the hilt? Just press that, and it can instantly unleash an electric current capable of completely burning a person's internal organs."

"Huh? Eh? Burnt? Burnt?"

Kevin was about to press the button twice to test it, suddenly started to tremble.

"This kind of electric current... it could kill someone just by touching it outdoors... isn't that a bit too dangerous?"

When it came to the topic of "murder," the usually carefree Kevin froze.

After all, Kevin has never been on the battlefield yet, so this reaction is understandable.

"It needs to be charged. A full charge takes a day, and it can only be used three times after being fully charged. Don't worry, the one you have now is out of power. By the way, this sword is not sharpened, so you can easily fool people while riding in a car and they will not be noticed."

Mei explained with a blank expression; to anyone other than Liu Bai, Mei still acted like a bookworm.

Kevin glanced at the button on the hilt and saw that there were indeed three charging indicator lights, all of which were currently off.

"That's alright... hey!"

Kevin then boldly twirled his sword.

"But then again, is it really necessary to give us such dangerous weapons? After all, what if something goes wrong..."

Although Kevin is still immature, he is clear-headed about both big and small matters.

Although it's not being charged right now, that doesn't change the fact that it's a murder weapon.

"You think I was joking when I told you back then that the world was on the verge of destruction?"

Liu Bai's words completely shut down Kevin's thoughts.

"These weapons are for you to defend yourself and fight back in times of danger... Kevin, get Sula up."

"Su, get up, weapons are being distributed!"

"I understand..." Su, who wasn't in good physical condition, managed to stand up.

Mei handed the remaining dual pistols to Su.

"This is... a toy?"

After taking the two guns, Su weighed them in his hands for a few moments and asked incredulously.
