Ouch!

Just like when Liu Dezhu went to prison, he went straight to criticize Li Shutong.

The Time Walker in the current Outer World are well aware that there are almost no Time Walker can travel through time and immediately assume a high position. If they want to survive, they have better find a powerful patron first.

The higher the status of this person, the better, as this is the only way to obtain the desired gene serum, inheritance pathways, economic resources, and social standing.

With all of this, one can get ahead of other Time Walker.

For example, Liu Dezhu is now the envy of many Time Walker. After getting close to Li Shutong, he transformed into a big shot in the Outer World.

Li Yinuo is Zhou Xuan's best choice right now. She is the eldest daughter of the third generation of a top conglomerate. Just looking at her status in the Autumn Hunting Team, she is extraordinary.

Although the girl's figure is a bit hardcore, her face is actually fine; upon closer inspection, it's considered above average.

Therefore, knowing that she was beautiful and had excellent acting skills, Zhou Xuan directly chose to flirt with Li Yinuo!

It has to be said that Zhou Xuan, the Time Walker, is indeed very handsome, much like a young heartthrob from a movie.

It's still very attractive to girls.

At least Zhou Xuan could have four girlfriends at the same time in their university, making him a true playboy.

However, Zhou Xuan was very clever and patient, and he did not deliberately do anything more.

He knew very well that when he first arrived, it was best to leave a brief impression on the other person.

Li Shutong remarked to Qing Chen, "Are all people in the Outer World this shameless?"

Qing Chen, who had a toothache, said, "This is also an exception."

"However, your classmate has met his match," Li Shutong laughed. "I can already tell that your classmate is just a naive and clueless person, practically clueless. In terms of skill level, he might not be a match for this high-level player."

Qing Chen sighed, "I really worry about him..."

Li Shutong asked, "Should we continue to create opportunities for Zhou Xuan and then just watch the show? What if it ruins your classmate's plans?"

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "Watching a play is still more enjoyable."

The two bystanders exchanged a knowing smile...

Hehehe.

Countdown: 126:00:00.

On the second night after their journey, Li Shutong told Qing Chen that they had been out of Prison No. 18 for seven days and were now approaching Forbidden Zone No. 002.

Perhaps we'll be able to see the outline of that place in the distance tomorrow.

Li Shutong instructed, "Once you go in, you must stay by my side. You can play around with everything else and let it pass, but you must remember this one thing."

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded seriously.

Just then, Qin Yiyi suddenly sat down next to the two of them, without saying a word, just sitting there looking at the campfire.

Li Shutong asked in surprise, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yiyi glanced at him. "You two have been acting all mysterious these past two days, barely talking to me or playing cards. Are you trying to deny everything after eating my apple?"

The girl in the wilderness is too direct. When she feels something is wrong, she will speak up directly and will never run to the side to feel sorry for herself and suffer injustice.

We were chatting and laughing just a moment ago, so why are these two suddenly whispering to each other and ignoring me?

Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. "It's not what you think!"

Qin Yiyi a moment and said, "You were secretly observing that servant, weren't you? I spotted the one named Zhou Xuan!"

Li Shutong and Qing Chen exchanged a glance. They might be able to escape other people's eyes by eating melons, but the little girl's gaze seemed glued to Qing Chen, and they certainly couldn't escape it.

Li Shutong thought for a moment and said, "We have a good relationship, so I can tell you this secret, but you can't tell anyone else!"

"Tell me quickly, why are you observing him!" Qin Yiyi's eyes were clear and bright, appearing especially sparkling in the firelight.

The little girl wore a long braid today, looking neat and tidy, with a touch of girlish charm as she grew up.

"Let Qing Chen tell you," Li Shutong said.

After saying that, the girl suddenly moved closer to Qing Chen, her face no more than ten centimeters away from Qing Chen: "Don't try to fool me, I'm very smart!"

With the flickering firelight, Qing Chen could even see the fine downy hairs on the other person's face.

He awkwardly stepped aside. "It's like this, didn't we talk about Li Yinuo yesterday afternoon? Then my teacher and I discovered that this servant seems to be particularly interested in Li Yinuo, and he started using seduction to keep running around Li Yinuo, seemingly planning to become her gigolo and then take the opportunity to rise in rank."

"Wow," Qin Yiyi's eyes widened, "Are all city people like this? Do men also think about selling themselves for personal gain every day? It's different in our wilderness. Only widows want to find men to rely on because they are too weak to hunt after giving birth, but they can't let their children starve to death."

Qin Yiyi was born in the city, but after finishing compulsory education in the city at the age of 12, she began to run around the wilderness with her father.

Moreover, she prefers the wilderness to the city, so she has always called herself Wilderness People.

In the Inner World Federation, compulsory education lasts only six years. The remaining junior high, high school, and university education all depend on the students' own exams, and the tuition fees are extremely expensive.

Most families struggle to afford to send their children to university, so the basic education level of the population here is very low.

However, precisely because of this, it seems that the people of the Federation are easier to control.

"I forgive you two. Since you shared the secret, the three of us are now friends!" Qin Yiyi smiled and took out two apples from her small handbag, handing one to Li Shutong and one to Qing Chen.

He picked one up and started eating it himself.

At this moment, Qin Yiyi also looked towards Zhou Xuan and was surprised to find that he was pretending to be nonchalant and diligently adding firewood to Li Yinuo's campfire.

Li Yinuo was chatting quietly with Nan Gengchen. The two sat by the campfire and looked quite intimate, but Nan Gengchen looked unhappy and didn't say anything with a dark face.

A small iron pot was placed over the campfire, containing fish soup.

In fact, the Autumn Hunt Convoy's technological level meant they didn't need to cook over a campfire; it was purely for warmth.

Adding a small iron pot is merely for fun and decoration.

Slowly, the fish soup in the small iron pot boiled. The servant named Zhou Xuan reached out to take the pot, preparing to serve Li Yinuo a bowl.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that the iron pot was very hot. The moment he touched it, he recoiled as if electrocuted, letting out a slightly embarrassed exclamation. "Ouch!"

"Puff!"

Qin Yiyi, Qing Chen, Li Shutong all spat out the apples they were eating at the same time.

This guy probably thought for a long time that a strong girl like Li Yinuo might prefer someone as gentle as Nan Gengchen, so he wanted to unintentionally show his own gentleness to see if he could arouse the other person's protective instincts.

Li Yinuo just glanced at him and said, "Get lost, you idiot."
