They're Sick (Sixth Bonus Chapter)

Lin Zhen smiled and pulled Zhao Xiaoman away. This girl was quite pretty, although she wasn't as stunningly beautiful as Su Mingyue, nor as dazzlingly beautiful as An Ning, but she was still a young girl, and it wasn't appropriate to hug her like this.

Zhao Xiaoman didn't care and happily ran over to the Third Team, first making a face. "How was it? How was it? My Big Brother Lin's curse is even more powerful than the Old Witch's, right?"

Lin Zhen twitched her lips behind him, a strange look on her face.

"Coincidence? It's just a coincidence. Doesn't this kind of thing happen all the time? What bullshit curse? I don't believe it. We should be able to get another Star Crystal today. You, Zhao Xiaoman, just wait and see."

"Pshaw! Dream on, you guys wouldn't do that."

"We might not know, but you certainly don't, because there are only three of you. You can't even form a team; you can only watch from the sidelines," Captain Wang retorted.

Zhao Xiaoman was a little unhappy. The team didn't have enough people, but it was estimated that no martial artist would team up with them here. What should they do?

Lin Zhen then came over and pulled Zhao Xiaoman away, saying, "Xiaoman, don't fight with them. They definitely won't get anything today, I guarantee it."

"Yes, I believe in Big Brother Lin's curse." Zhao Xiaoman seemed to have great confidence in Lin Zhen's curse.

Li Changying, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "You're not just guessing, are you?"

"Whether it's a guess or not, as long as it's right, that's fine."

Lin Zhen left with Li Changying and Zhao Xiaoman. He estimated that Jiang Huai and the other person would arrive today, and he should go and meet them.

When they passed by the east side, the situation there was even worse. There was only one Star Crystal, which was taken by the Second Team. Zhou Butong's First Team got nothing.

This phenomenon is quite normal. The first person to set off is often the first to be attacked by the Bee, and it often happens that those behind them get the benefits. Just because you are in the front doesn't mean you will definitely get the Star Crystal.

Lin Zhen smiled as the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Beehive.

They ate a little something and then waited there.

Since Su Mingyue left, Lin Zhen hasn't cooked for anyone else.

Less than twenty minutes later, two figures came flying through the air in the distance; they were Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng.

Upon seeing Lin Zhen at the Beehive, Jiang Huai shouted from afar, "Idol! We're here!"

"Wow! Big Brother Lin has so many fans! Big Brother Lin is so handsome! If I ever get married, I'll definitely look for a boyfriend who meets Big Brother Lin's standards." Zhao Xiaoman can really boost a man's vanity sometimes, and even Lin Zhen felt a little flattered.

"Okay, it's settled then. He has to be as handsome as Big Brother Lin, but a few years younger than Big Brother Lin, around my age, that's fine." Zhao Xiaoman muttered to herself, causing Lin Zhen's smile to freeze on his face.

Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng landed in front of Lin Zhen. Jiang Huai said breathlessly, "That kid Lou Qingfeng woke me up before five o'clock. He insisted on coming today. We walked too fast on the way here, and I'm exhausted."

Lou Qingfeng was also panting. "Don't just talk about me, weren't you extremely anxious too? If I hadn't stopped you, you would have run away yesterday."

Lin Zhen asked, "How's the situation at the Ant Nest?"

Lou Qingfeng gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up. "Boss Lin, you're really capable. How did you convince Guang Ge? He actually gave it to those two kids, Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie Star Crystal, and they both idolize you."

"Just reason with them and appeal to their emotions," Lin Zhen replied dismissively.

"If reasoning with people worked, we martial artists wouldn't be needed. You're just trying to fool me." Lou Qingfeng didn't believe it at all.

"I know, it must be Big Brother Lin who cursed that Guang Ge, making him fear Big Brother Lin from the depths of his soul." Zhao Xiaoman, who was listening from the side, only half understood and immediately praised Lin Zhen without any principles, not knowing that she was almost right.

Jiang Huai glanced at Zhao Xiaoman, then asked Lin Zhen with some surprise, "Lin Zhen, who is this little sister?"

"Oh, our new teammate Zhao Xiaoman, she's a very nice girl," Lin Zhen replied.

Jiang Huai looked at the two men from left to right, his eyes filled with slight suspicion.

Lin Zhen glared at him. "Don't think nonsense, this is a little sister."

"Oh! That's fine. All of us can do it, except for you, Lin Zhen. You need to know that Su is still waiting for you."

Lin Zhen nodded. Of course he knew the situation; Zhao Xiaoman was just his younger sister, so it was impossible.

Only then did Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng notice Li Changying, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Li Changying, the Northwest God of War?"

Li Changying said somewhat dejectedly, "All you see is Lin Zhen and beautiful women. Don't you think my size and size are enough to attract your attention?"

Li Changying is over 1.9 meters tall, burly and strong. Standing there like Eiffel Tower, he was completely ignored, which was really not a good feeling.

Jiang Huai laughed and said, "How could that be? You've just gotten a bit fairer in the last two years. I didn't recognize you at first."

After saying that, Jiang Huai said to Lin Zhen, "You're not going to tell me that Li Changying is also our teammate, are you?"

"That's right, this is also our teammate. From today onwards, our team is complete, and the five of us can now challenge the Beehive."

"That's awesome!" Lou Qingfeng excitedly pumped his fist. This team was incredibly strong.

Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai, and Li Changying are all top-notch experts, each capable of standing alone. Lou Qingfeng considers himself a genius, but compared to these three, he is still somewhat inferior.

Zhao Xiaoman's strength might be slightly weaker. Although she compressed her Dantian Qi by half, in Lou Qingfeng's eyes, Zhao Xiaoman's strength was still not up to par. If Zhao Xiaoman were replaced by Su Mingyue, this team would be incredibly powerful.

However, it's enough for now. One more or one less doesn't matter much. Lou Qingfeng couldn't wait to challenge the Beehive.

"Alright, let's go find Tong Huan to form a team. Once we're done, we'll go on a challenge. Our goal for today is to obtain at least two Star Crystal!"

Jiang Huai, Zhao Xiaoman, and Lou Qingfeng followed behind Lin Zhen. Lou Qingfeng, at the back, tugged at Li Changying and said, "Hey, let's go, what are we doing?"

Li Changying was holding the shiny side of his Iron Cavalry Spear as a mirror, looking at himself for a long time before saying to Lou Qingfeng, "Jiang Huai lied to me. I'm not white at all; I'm actually a bit darker."

Lou Qingfeng remained silent.

Lin Zhen and his group arrived at Tong Huan's place and quickly formed a team, with Lin Zhen still serving as the team leader.

After the team was formed, Tong Huan led them to the west side of the Beehive.

"The Fifth Team, come over here. You've got a challenge now."

The Fifth Group was sitting there looking at the mound of earth in front of them, waiting for the Star Crystal to appear, when they suddenly heard someone make a challenge. When they turned around, they saw that it was Lin Zhen and his group.

"Hey, you dare to challenge us right after forming a team? Alright, brothers, let's get this fun started."

The members of the Fifth Group stood up, looking at Lin Zhen and his group with smiles on their faces, appearing confident and assured.

Generally speaking, newly formed teams are not yet united and their combat effectiveness is not very strong.

Especially this team in front of them, Li Changying's strength is indeed quite good, and Zhao Xiaoman's is also passable, that's what they know.

But the other three are less reliable. Lin Zhen didn't compress his Dantian Qi by even one unit, and Lin Zhen Lou Qingfeng did the same. Jiang Huai was a little better, compressing his Dantian Qi by two units, but compressing it by two units doesn't mean he's particularly strong. Of the five people in their group, three of them compressed their qi by two units, and the remaining two compressed it by one unit. By all accounts, they are stronger than Lin Zhen and his group.

"Our team was originally planning to challenge for fourth place, but you guys actually delivered yourselves to our doorstep. We might as well teach you a lesson today and let the other martial artists see our strength, so that no Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to provoke us."

The captain was the first to step forward. "Tell me, do you want Team Battle or an individual battle? I advise you to go for the Team Battle. After all, with Li Changying's strength, you still have a slight chance of winning. You have no chance at all in an individual battle."

In his view, Li Changying was the main player in the team, and the others were not worth mentioning.

This was also meant to provoke Lin Zhen and his group into Xuan Ze individual combat, which would greatly increase their chances of winning.

Lin Zhen smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Alright, since you've all put it that way, it would seem like we're bullying you if Xuan Ze Team Battle. Let's start individual battles!"

The members of Fifth Group were all delighted. They hadn't expected their captain to be so naive, falling for their tricks so easily. It seemed that West Fifth Team was going to establish its authority today.

The two sides agreed to a one-on-one fight and then reported to Tong Huan. Tong Huan immediately led them to a distant arena, which was a place specifically for challenges.

The warriors waiting to collect the Star Crystal didn't move, but many others who couldn't get a turn and had nothing else to do immediately flocked to watch.

The crowd arrived at the arena, and the two sides began to discuss the order of appearance.

Li Changying volunteered first. "I failed here, and I will rise again here. Let me go first in this battle. I want to tell those people that I, Li Changying, have returned."

Lin Zhen nodded in agreement; the request was reasonable.

Zhao Xiaoman immediately chimed in, "I want to go too! I want to challenge the Third Team and show those guys that girls aren't useless either!"

Lin Zhen had seen Zhao Xiaoman pick the Star Crystal yesterday and knew that her strength was quite good, not much worse than Lou Qingfeng's. She had a good chance of winning, so he nodded in agreement.

Lou Qingfeng said, "Then I'll go third. It's my first time at the Beehive, and I want a resounding victory."

Jiang Huai said, "Generally speaking, the best fighters are the last to appear. I don't think I'm a match for my idol, so I'll leave the last chance to you, Captain Lin. I'll be the fourth to appear."

Everyone else had made their Xuan Ze, so Lin Zhen had no Xuan Ze and was scheduled to go last.

After Lin Zhen finished discussing the matter, the other side also came to a decision: the first person to go out would be the weakest member of their group.

They believed that Lin Zhen and his team would likely want to win the first game, so they would follow the story of Tian Ji's Horse Racing in the Gregorian calendar and send out their weakest player, even if it meant losing the first game, to ensure victory in the following games.

So when they saw Li Changying step onto the stage, they immediately burst into cheers.

"Haha! We won!"

"Boss, your strategy is brilliant! I'm incredibly impressed!"

"They really are brainless. The first one to appear was the strongest, so there's no point in playing the rest."

Seeing the wailing and howling from over there, Zhao Xiaoman looked at Lin Zhen with some confusion. "Big Brother Lin, are they crazy?"

Lin Zhen nodded. "He's quite ill."

Today I'm adding a fourth chapter as an extra chapter, all for the sake of the book's Hall Master (Warm Little Abode). This is a new debt I signed today.
