After Chu Xin entered the underground training room, he saw Xiao Wu and Kaka, whom he had not seen for half a month. Both were hard at work training.
Xiao Wu and Kaka were just as excited to see Chu Xin. They abandoned their training and ran straight over to tell him how much they had missed him over the past half month.
"(Chu Xin, Chu Xin! It's been over half a month, and you never came to see us! We've been so bored!)"
Xiao Wu stared at Chu Xin with a sulky, resentful expression, clearly very unhappy that he had not visited them for over half a month.
Chu Xin stroked Xiao Wu's forehead and smiled at that sulky face, explaining helplessly.
"I couldn't help it. I've been busy these past two weeks, too. Besides your training, I also have to handle Electrike's training.

"So you're all here. Perfect, come upstairs
