Thunderbolt King Jiang Yuanchi

It took Xu Nan quite some time to recover from the muscle paralysis.

Even so, he still needed Jiang Yuanchi's support to walk. As for his completely shattered hairstyle, let's not even mention it; Xu Nan had already given up on himself, looking ashen-faced.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuanchi didn't seem to care about these things. She seemed to be immersed in guilt, and kept blushing as she helped Xu Nan walk forward.

It must be said that Jiang Yuanchi's appearance is indeed a first-class beauty. The two were very close, and Xu Nan could smell her fragrance.

That feeling would definitely make anyone else's heart flutter, and many seasoned veterans and weirdos would probably exclaim in astonishment, "It's the feeling of first love!"

Unfortunately, Xu Nan doesn't know how now.

Because besides the delicate fragrance, what he smelled most was the aroma of his own roasted meat.

He once suspected that if he sprinkled some cumin on himself, he could eat it.

When something like this happens, you can only blame your bad luck. Jiang Yuanchi clearly lacks combat experience. Although his magic is very powerful, it's always inevitable that he might accidentally hurt his own people.

After all, this is reality, not a game, so there's no way to enable a teammate immunity mode.

After all this fuss, the two-in-one financing scheme hasn't really progressed much.

It was roughly like walking from one hilltop to another.

Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi no knowledge of surveying. The tools Wei Xian had given them were immediately relegated to the sidelines. The two of them, relying on their clumsy drawing skills and exaggerated rulers, scribbled maps at will.

Xu Nan wasn't aiming for a high score anyway; his goal was to slack off and do some online shopping... oops! He was just slacking off!

As for Jiang Yuanchi, seeing how serious she looked while drawing, Xu Nan couldn't bear to point out the basic mistakes she made in contour lines and rulers.

Finally, the two compared their drawn maps. After examining them for five minutes, Senior Jiang came to a conclusion:

"My drawing is better."

Xu Nan glanced at the two hills drawn by Senior Jiang; they looked exactly like lingerie design sketches, but he still gladly tore up his own draft.

"Then use yours."

Senior Jiang was beaming with joy.

"Let's rest here for now. I just saw a temple on this mountain. There shouldn't be anyone inside."

She made the decision happily.

Xu Nan was completely confused. "Aren't you nearsighted? Aren't you not wearing glasses? How come you can see me much farther?"

After climbing for a while, they found a temple halfway up the mountain that provided shelter from the wind and rain. It looked like an abandoned temple from the Pro World, with traces of martial monks practicing there.

The two men fiddled with their tents for a while, but in the end, they had to admit that neither of them had a chance to pitch one.

"Let's just make do with this and sleep here." Senior Jiang, clutching a sleeping bag.

Xu Nan felt a pang of melancholy. Facing the tent that he couldn't get set up, he suddenly started to miss his Senior A-Kun!

His manual dexterity is actually quite good, but the aftereffects of electrotherapy are still there, making his hands and feet extremely clumsy, as if he had polio.

As for Senior Jiang, judging from her technique, she's clearly a fairy who never lifts a finger.

She gestured to the Fairy Dragon with her eyes to set up the tent. The poor Fairy Dragon puffed out her chest, indicating that although she was a dragon, she was also a fairy.

He obviously can't do rough work like setting up a tent.

So the two of them could only fall asleep using sleeping bags as pillows.

H City was already quite cold in December, but fortunately Pro World was a little warmer, and the temples provided shelter from the wind and rain, enough to make do for the night.

At night.

The mountain breeze outside the temple was chilly, and candles were lit in the temple's private rooms, their flames flickering.

Despite setting up Magic Alarm outside, Xu Nan was still a little nervous and couldn't fall asleep easily. After all, this was his first time camping in the wild. Although he had already checked the temple and confirmed that there were no monsters inside, he was still just afraid of the worst.

He was thinking of summoning Tom to keep watch.

However, Xu Nan held back, after all, Ah Tang's existence was too special, and he would not expose her to the outside world unless absolutely necessary.

The rustling sounds coming from the sleeping bag next door made it clear that neither of them could sleep, so they decided to have a late-night talk by candlelight.

"Senior Jiang, don't you feel guilty about using magic to kill those monsters?"

Hello Xu Nan.

Jiang Yuanchi, "No, I can't see their faces. I only determine their location by sensing them. Actually, I don't even know what's coming."

Xu Nan: "..."

"Senior Jiang, where did you go when you disappeared for a year?"

Xu Nan continued to ask.

Jiang Yuanchi: "I stayed in Stephenson for a year as a commoner. The people there are very warm and kind, and there are also some very wise people who are so bored that they will chat with you. In fact, as long as you can be witty, those wise people will think you are intelligent. I just copied some popular jokes, and as a result, they thought I was the reincarnation of the princess of the Arcane Empire."

Xu Nan's spirits lifted; she had finally learned Jiang Yuanchi's secret. It turned out she really had gone to another world that year!

Moreover, it's Stephenson, the most famous Floating City in the Pro World. No wonder she has storage equipment and Facial Mask from Rice Stephenson!

"Where did you receive the mage's professional inheritance? That's amazing, no wonder your magic is so powerful now." Xu Nan exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Yuanchi said modestly, "Actually, it's alright. My aptitude is average. I haven't undergone the orthodox mage training of Stephenson. My current level and strength are purely due to luck."

Xu Nan asked in surprise, "Then why did you come back?"

He now knows that a long time ago, many people went to the Pro World for various reasons, but apart from a few soldiers, it seems that only a few returned.

Jiang Yuanchi, then said naturally, "Your visa has expired."

Xu Nan sensed a Blessing of Sound. Although these words were in line with her style, it didn't mean that her intention to end the topic was not obvious.

It seems that something happened in Stephenson, and it doesn't seem to be a very pleasant memory.

Xu Nan didn't press the matter further, and the two chatted casually for a while longer, unable to tell who fell asleep first, before eventually drifting off to sleep one after the other.

The poor Fairy Dragon stared wide-eyed, on duty keeping watch at night.

In the middle of the night, Xu Nan was awakened by the whimpering of the Fairy Dragon.

His first reaction upon waking was—"There's a monster!"

Sure enough, Senior Jiang's sleeping bag was empty, Xu Nan immediately pulled herself out of it!

He followed the whimpering sound and ran to the temple's main hall.

In the hall, a strange light danced wildly.

Xu Nan was astonished to see a group of Shadow Beast, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, shamelessly having a wild party.

Jiang Yuanchi hid behind a pillar, her face slightly flushed.

Xu Nan rubbed her eyes and leaned closer. "What's going on?"

"I don't know. These Shadow Beast are despicable. How dare they do such a thing in broad daylight! They're corrupting public morals!"

"I have to teach them a lesson."

Electricity flickered in Jiang Yuanchi's hand.

Xu Nan hesitated for a moment. "These Shadow Beast haven't bothered us. Would it be a bad idea for us to attack them?"

Jiang Yuanchi red, her eyes filled with shame and resentment. "No, they harassed me."

"Just pretend I'm being grumpy when I wake up!"

"By the way, you don't have any metal weapons this time, do you?"

Xu Nan waved his hand, took several steps to the side, found a pillar to hide behind, and looked at the group of Shadow Beast who were about to die but still behaved improperly. He only felt sympathy for them.

[Powerful Lightning Chain]!

Sizzle!

The terrifying lightning bolt, more than three times thicker than before, descended and instantly turned the laughing Shadow Beast into shadow fragments!

Jiang Yuanchi's magical power is indeed astonishing.

She clapped her hands, a satisfied look on her face. "It's quiet now. Fish Tripe Junior, let's go back to sleep."

"Junior, what's wrong?"

Xu Nan turned around stiffly, her face ashen, and her hair, which had just softened, stood up abruptly again.

"Senior, senior..."

"Why did your Lightning Chain affect me too?!"

Xu Nan wanted to cry but had no tears.

If it weren't for Ron Sorcerer Bloodline giving him considerable resistance to elemental spells, he might be dead right here.

Seeing the system notification that he had gained +1 to lightning resistance, he was utterly horrified.

What does this mean? Is it a consolation prize? Isn't it normal to develop resistance after being shocked so many times? Is it really necessary to give a separate reminder?

Jiang Yuanchi silent for a long time before timidly explaining:

"I... I just saw a creepy figure hiding behind a pillar, and I instinctively thought it was also a Shadow Beast..."

Poor Xu Nan is already unconscious.

In the early hours of the morning, Xu Nan woke up with difficulty from a nightmare. Seeing Jiang Yuanchi sleeping soundly beside him, he silently took out his notebook.

After seeing Qin Lele's notebook, Xu Nan thought that he should also have his own personal diary.

For every person you meet, you should create a keyword and a profile.

Xu Nan has already created basic profiles for several friends, such as the "Flat Qin Lele" series, which is quite meaningful and can be considered as such.

With trembling hands, he fumbled in the dark to open the notebook and simply and crudely crossed out the entry for "[Jiang Yuanchi without glasses]".

I rewrote a new entry.

[Thunderbolt King Jiang Yuanchi]: Suspected fan of Professor Yang, his electrotherapy skills are amazing.

Hmm, that's a bit more accurate.

The next morning, as dawn broke.

The two left the temple and embarked on a brand new journey.

Xu Nan, sporting an afro and dark circles under her eyes, kept a certain distance from Jiang Yuanchi.

Jiang Yuanchi followed closely behind Xu Nan, like a daughter-in-law who had made a mistake.

"You sealed away your lightning-type spells." Xu Nan's eyes were hostile.

Jiang Yuanchi looked aggrieved. "But I'm good at lightning magic, what if I encounter monsters?"

Xu Nan shook his head, thinking to himself that he would be electrocuted by Jiang Yuanchi before he even encountered a monster. But seeing Jiang Yuanchi's tearful appearance, he ultimately didn't utter a single harsh word.

The two descended the mountain and arrived at a river.

The water wasn't fully bright yet; it was still dark in the river, and there seemed to be quite a few Green-Skinned Lobster.

Xu Nan remembered his job, stood by the river, picked up a snakeskin bag, and turned on the fixed lamp.

Sure enough, the Green-Skinned Lobster, upon seeing the light, jumped into the snakeskin bag as if they had lost their minds.

Xu Nan busied himself for a while and immediately filled three snakeskin bags with Green-Skinned Lobster!

The creatures in the river immediately became much sparser. Xu Nan saw a few plump fish swimming around, indicating that the ecology in this area was still quite good and had not been completely destroyed by the green-skinned crayfish.

He got excited, found a harpoon in the storage compartment, and began spearing fish with great enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, his technique was not good enough, and he only managed to catch one fish halfway through.

Jiang Yuanchi standing nearby, looked over and asked excitedly, "Are you catching fish?"

"Let me help you. I know a way to catch these fish easily."

Xu Nan instinctively felt something was amiss.

Before he could even speak to stop her, Jiang Yuanchi waved her hand, eager to make amends, and the signs of Powerful Lightning Chain had already emerged.

"Stop! Don't you know water conducts electricity?"

It wasn't Xu Nan who spoke, but a cold-faced young man sitting on the opposite bank of the river, soaking his feet.

A flash of lightning.

Countless dead fish floated on the surface of the water.

Xu Nan and that aloof young man also floated on the river.

...!
