Being Afraid of Death Doesn't Make You a Young Pioneer!

On the second night, Xu Nan respectfully opened the passage to Lost Paradise and sent the baby girl named "Lina" back to the space of Lost Paradise.

As promised, the Lion King ordered the sorcerers of the Fourth Alchemy Heart not to cause trouble for Xu Nan.

For Xu Nan, these three were quite pleasant. It was unbelievable that Qin Lele, such a mischievous girl, could patiently help him take care of the child.

He often walked past the two of them and found that Lina and Qin Lele were having a lot of fun. Although the thought of a silent baby was still quite scary, Xu Nan guessed that she also felt the lethality of his voice.

This child has a very strong learning ability.

Of course, it also seems to be very destructive.

These are all Xu Nan's feelings about Lina. After all, apart from being "overwhelmed by cuteness" at the beginning, he hadn't had much contact with the baby girl.

After seeing Lina off, Xu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Lion King had privately messaged him saying that he had done a good job and that he would even help take care of the child next time he had time, the pressure of having such a legendary figure's child fostered in the family was still quite great.

While raising a child well might win the favor of a powerful figure like the Lion King, if the child develops any problems, the responsibility will fall entirely on him.

So it's best for Lina to leave him as soon as possible; as for the future, if the Lion King asks for help taking care of him, wouldn't it be better for him to make excuses about not having time?

Even if the other party is a figurehead, they can't just use their authority to open the Lost Paradise portal and forcibly shove the child over, can they?

Xu Nan was relieved, but Qin Lele was lost and disappointed. After three visits, she had already established a deep revolutionary friendship with Lina, and she turned into a broken record, constantly questioning Xu Nan about where she had sent the child.

Xu Nan had no choice but to tell a lie, since it was a relative's child and she could help take care of him; although Qin Lele sometimes had an unusual way of thinking, she could easily see through such a low-level lie.

However, this girl, despite her young age, was remarkably mature for her age. She didn't argue with Xu Nan, but instead quietly took out a notebook and wrote it down.

Xu Nan glanced at the notebook, and there was a picture of the scene when they first met and he was doing the "Going Back on His Promises" task.

[I ran into a handsome guy, but unfortunately he's a pervert. He cost me dozens of points of my thieving skill proficiency. So annoying!]

Xu Nan smiled silently.

Before I knew it, it had been a month since I met Qin Lele. Times were changing, and my life seemed to have undergone a complete transformation as well.

What Xu Nan didn't know was that a few hours later, a large-scale riot suddenly broke out in the Fourth Alchemy Heart of Lost Paradise.

"I just took a nap, and my underwear is gone!"

"Me too. I was enchanting a gargoyle when, without noticing, my collectible underwear with the Red Dragon Queen's exclusive logo disappeared."

"What's going on? Is someone targeting our Fourth Alchemy Heart? There hasn't been any movement at the other alchemy stations."

The alchemists were puzzled.

"Should we report this to Lord Lion King?"

A young person asked a question.

An older alchemist slapped him on the forehead. "Do you have to make a fuss over such a trivial matter?"

"We'll investigate ourselves and retrieve all the surveillance footage from the crystal ball!"

"I don't believe any thief could break into our Lost Paradise!"

Everyone busied themselves with their efforts, but to little avail. Several alchemists who were close to becoming proficient turned pale, feeling as if they had been tricked.

Given the level of security at the Alchemy Station in Lost Paradise, how could any thief possibly have managed to sneak in?

"No, it's probably those lunatics from the Shadow Realm coming to have their fun with us. We must report to Lord Lion King!"

The older alchemist made a resolute decision.

In the crowd, a young man touched the bag on his forehead and silently shed tears.

A group of alchemists, suffering from drafts, braved the discomfort and rushed to the Lion King's office. Before they even arrived, they heard a roar coming from behind the tightly closed door—

"Why aren't you wearing underwear? Are you hiding a woman somewhere?"

"No? Are you asking for a beating? What, you're used to showing off in front of others, but you're still doing it in front of me?"

"Hehehe, I think you're asking for trouble. You can't even take good care of your child, yet you dare to cheat on him!"

The roaring voice reached my ears; it was a woman's voice.

The alchemists remained silent.

After a long pause, the Lion King's weak voice finally broke through. "Wife, I didn't, I didn't..."

"Kneel down! Who told you to get up!" the woman roared. "I'm so angry!"

"You could just make up some excuse to fool me, but you actually said it was stolen? Ha, that's such a flimsy excuse!"

"Tell me, in the entire Pro World, how many people can steal your things without anyone noticing? Even those cockroaches in the Shadow Realm couldn't do it, right?"

The Lion King thought about it carefully, "It should be..."

The woman sneered, "I went to Dragon Island for a while and brought you some dragon whips to nourish your body, and you caused this mess."

"No wonder you were feeling weak the other day and kept avoiding me, haha..."

From inside the office came the Lion King's scream.

The alchemists exchanged bewildered glances and could only leave. They were joking, of course. The Lion King's wife was of ancient, mysterious blood, a being revered even by the gods of Prophet, capable of easily defeating the three great legends of Lost Paradise.

Rushing in now would be tantamount to suicide.

Unbeknownst to them, in the Fourth Alchemy Heart activity warehouse not far from them, a baby girl looked at the warehouse full of underwear and suddenly clapped her hands happily.

The practical sessions of the Training Camp will begin in the afternoon.

Xu Nan planned to arrive just in time, since he was now "famous" and most of the people in the Training Camp hated Xu Nan quite a bit. If he went too early, he might get a beating because people were jealous of his handsome looks.

Although he was confident that he had already grasped the basics of the Blazing Fire Blade Technique, he knew that power shouldn't be used against his own people.

"I've almost used up Activity Points, and it seems there's nothing left to loot from the Fourth Alchemy Heart. Oh well, I'll just exchange them all for Constant Gold Coin."

Xu Nan pondered for a moment, looked at the remaining tens of thousands of points, and started the lottery mode again.

But this time, what appeared surprised him once again!

The lottery wheel was clearly pointing towards "Black Ant Touch," but what appeared were pairs of underwear!

These underwear are quite flamboyant, and most of them have the alchemists' unique symbols!

Xu Nan was furious. "Those beasts of the Fourth Alchemy Heart have absolutely no basic manners!"

"I clearly drew alchemy materials. Did you really have nothing else to give me? You can't just use underwear to fool me!"

In a fit of rage, he anonymously posted all the underwear bearing the alchemist's name on the Lost Paradise trading market, and at high prices!

As for why these underwear bear the names of alchemists—perhaps alchemists are all narcissistic. Personal items are best made by oneself, and after completing an alchemical product, it's common practice in the alchemy industry to casually label it with one's own name to indicate copyright ownership.

Soon, the Lost Paradise trading market was in turmoil.

Xu Nan was surprised to find that some of the underwear she had marked up at high prices actually sold out very quickly!

Like this one—

Snowflake Ice Spun Underwear

[Creator: Ellen Collison]

[Effects: Warm in Winter Cool in Summer; with prolonged wear, it has a certain delaying effect]

Xu Nan priced it at 6 Constant Gold Coin, but it was immediately sold to someone else as soon as he put it down.

The other party took the photo anonymously.

"What's going on? In Lost Paradise, there are actually people who like to collect underwear?"

Xu Nan muttered something.

However, at this moment, a system notification made him suddenly realize—

[Activity Points +, from Ellen Collison]

"What? You're unhappy to see your underwear being sold?"

Xu Nan was completely confused. "But the key point is, didn't you guys stuff your underwear in here to pretend it was a prize?"

However, the number of Activity Points really made him nervous.

The Activity Points I just used up have been used up again, and I've managed to get another 200,000 in one go!

Now, I might have really offended everyone in the Fourth Alchemy Heart.

Fortunately, it was anonymous.

As he was thinking this, the automatic lottery continued.

Suddenly, a pair of bright red, incredibly slutty underwear appeared in front of him!

[Crown (Item Transfer)]

[Creator: The Lion King]

[Effect: Confidence +99; Comes with the "King's Reign" aura]

Xu Nan was stunned.

Rumors... about underwear? He could understand a 99% increase in confidence, but what the hell is this "ruling aura"?

Wait, why would the Lion King stuff his underwear into a lottery warehouse?!

What the hell is the Fourth Alchemy Heart doing?

Xu Nan felt a little guilty and confused.

With the intention of not taking the blame, he temporarily removed the rest of the underwear that had not yet been photographed.

Then he thought for a moment, opened the event page, and clicked the "Report" option.

"... I drew materials from Black Ant, but the people from the Fourth Alchemy Heart humiliated me by using pairs of underwear. I strongly condemn this..."

A 500-word report was completed. Xu Nan clicked send, and the report would be sent to the Daily Council and the three major mediators.

Well, Xu Nan can't control what the outcome will be.

Since things have come to this point, let's just wait and see how things develop!

After finishing these tasks and tidying up a bit, Xu Nan went to her practical class.

The meeting point for the practical class was near a relatively remote, unfinished building in the University City.

Before Xu Nan could even get close, a sudden gust of cold wind rose from behind him. Before he could even react, he was struck hard on the forehead and knocked unconscious.

When he slowly woke up, he was in a dark and damp room, with screams of torture coming from the side!

Xu Nan straightened up.

He was tied to a chair, which was fixed to Lin.

His face was held in place by a large red rag, and someone came over and ripped the rag off.

In the candlelight, a well-dressed, brown-haired, bearded foreigner sneered:

"Are you a member of the Thousand Rays Society?"

"I have a deal I'd like to make with you."

"Of course you can refuse, but the consequences... hehehe."

Xu Nan observed that the surroundings were completely sealed off. Besides the bearded foreigner, there were several burly figures loitering around with unfriendly expressions.

When did China become so easy to infiltrate? The Japanese are even coming to H City to cause trouble?

Xu Nan didn't believe it.

The bearded foreigner menacingly held a knife to Xu Nan's neck:

Are you afraid of dying?

Xu Nan shouted reflexively, "Those who are afraid of death are not Young Pioneers!"

He suddenly felt that the red cloth on his chest was even more vivid.

[Activity Points +1000, from Wei Xian]

Xu Nan's eyes lit up.

...!
