"Hey! Put me down right now!"
Xiao Feng struggled impatiently with his whole body.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked up at him while nibbling on some sunflower seeds.
"Oh~ Don't be in such a hurry~ Look how high up you are now. You're the tallest among all of us. You should be happy about it, why the rush? Just enjoy the sense of superiority that comes with being so tall."
Xiao Feng: ......
She mentioned "tall" four times in one sentence!
And with that sarcastic tone...
Xiao Feng's lip twitched, "Don't tell me you hung me up here just because I called you shorty?"
"Do I look like someone that petty?" Yun Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes innocently, refusing to admit it.
Xiao Feng: What do you think!
Nie Yizhou, standing nearby, secretly covered his mouth and laughed.
So that's what happened.
This little girl sure knows how to hold a grudge.
Dare to call her short, and she'll definitely remember it.
"Hey, you little brat, can't even take being called short when you clearly are," Xiao Feng said with a raised eyebrow. Just as he was about to continue, he felt himself being lifted several meters higher, with the tendency to keep rising.
He hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, alright? You're tall, you're the tallest, happy now? Hey, why are you still lifting me higher when I'm saying you're tall!"
Well, seems like whatever he says is wrong!
Xiao Feng simply closed his mouth.
It wasn't until Lu Chen came out and called the two that Yun Xiaoxiao finally lowered Xiao Feng.
"Brother Chen, what do you need us for?" Nie Yizhou asked curiously.
Lu Chen glanced at him, "Mainly you."
Nie Yizhou became even more confused.
Lu Chen explained, "Since we're going to survive together in this apocalyptic world from now on, we're a unit. Your current abilities are all supportive, without any killing power. So from now on, you need to practice some lethal moves with me. Combined with your Teleportation Ability, you can catch enemies off guard and kill them."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Nie Yizhou's eyes immediately lit up.
"That sounds great! I've been wanting to learn from you, Brother Chen! Don't worry, I'll study hard, I definitely won't drag you guys down!"
At this moment, his gaze was filled with determination.
"Go for it, Brother Yizhou, I believe in you~"
If Nie Yizhou could grow stronger, it would indeed be very helpful for their team.
"Yes, yes, I can definitely do it!"
Nie Yizhou's eyes were sparkling with excitement.
"Then let's start now," Lu Chen said directly.
Nie Yizhou: "?? So fast? But don't we still have injuries?"
"It doesn't matter, you'll move your legs, not your hands."
Soon, Nie Yizhou understood what Lu Chen meant.
Indeed, it was just moving legs, not hands.
Moreover, he was the only one moving!
Lu Chen required him to run back and forth for 5000 meters!
100 squats!
100 frog jumps!
200 bounces!
And finally, 2000 stabs at a straw man with a knife!
Lu Chen supervised him from the side.
If he tried to slack off, he would be kicked hard, without any mercy.
After the whole set of exercises, he was almost completely worn out!
He could barely move his feet!
Yun Xiaoxiao had just finished her training in her dimensional space and came out of her room, only to see Nie Yizhou sitting on the ground, panting heavily, looking like he had just escaped from a famine.
She immediately recalled her previous life.
Back then, her big brother had trained her in the same way.
It could be described as nothing short of hell.
She didn't sympathize with Nie Yizhou.
Because to become stronger, one must pay a price.
This was nothing compared to what's coming!
At this moment, she noticed smoke curling up from the area near the kitchen in the courtyard.
An iron rack was set up over a fire, with a large iron pot on top.
A rich aroma wafted from the pot.
"Mmm~ Smells good."
Nie Yizhou smelled it too, and he propped himself up.
Just then, Xiao Feng walked out of the kitchen with a ladle and a large bowl.
He lifted the pot lid and scooped a bowl of potato and chicken stew, bringing it to Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Here~ This is for the meal you gave me at noon. I don't like owing favors."
Yun Xiaoxiao looked him up and down, then smiled and accepted the bowl.
"Thank you, big brother~"
Xiao Feng pursed his lips, his expression softening a bit.
"There's cooked rice in the pot over there. If you want to eat, go serve yourself."
He had found rice in the rice container, and the seasonings were still usable, so he thought of making a good meal.
"Mm, okay!"
Yun Xiaoxiao happily agreed.
This Xiao Feng seemed difficult to get along with and had a bad temper, but he was actually just a tsundere.
Moreover, his cooking skills... were quite good.
It smelled delicious just from the aroma!
"You cooked both chickens?" Nie Yizhou exclaimed in surprise, "Why didn't you save one?"
Xiao Feng glanced at him sideways.
"Save it for what? Who knows if we'll still be alive tomorrow? If there's food, of course we should eat it quickly, lest we die and let others benefit."
These words... made a lot of sense!
"Um... can I train with you too?"
As they were eating, Xiao Feng walked over.
He stood in front of Lu Chen, his expression sincere.
Lu Chen looked at him for a while, then calmly replied.
"You may."
Over the next few days, while recovering from their injuries, everyone was working hard to become stronger.
The relationship between the four of them also improved because of this.
Except for the occasional bickering between Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng, everything else was quite harmonious.
Yun Xiaoxiao was also generous, inviting Xiao Feng to join them for meals.
Of course, she wasn't being completely selfless.
She had her own motives.
Because Xiao Feng's intimacy with her was increasing every day!
She thought, if she could bind such a capable person to her side, it would be quite beneficial.
Currently, apart from him calling her shorty which annoyed her, she was quite satisfied with this person.
Though he had a bad temper, he was just a little tsundere.
His abilities were good, and he was also ambitious.
Most importantly, he was a good cook!
With him around, cooking would never be a problem.
The ready-made food she had bought would eventually run out.
Then there would be no more delicious cooked meals!
During this period, Yun Xiaoxiao exchanged for another bottle of level two evolution liquid and gave it to Nie Yizhou.
Nie Yizhou successfully reached the initial stage of level three.
After that, she used all her remaining points to exchange for the supreme weapon, Lord Slasher.
The moment she got the weapon, she was extremely excited.
She took it outside.
With one thrust, she poked a hole in the large rock outside the house!
With a thought, the spear head of the red-tasseled spear immediately transformed into a large cleaver.
She swung the cleaver, and with one stroke, she cut a large tree beside the house in half!
"Holy crap! Kid, do you have King Kong living inside you? You can chop such a big tree in half with one strike!"
Nie Yizhou ran over to touch the cut on the fallen tree, his face full of shock.
Lu Chen and Xiao Feng's eyes also trembled slightly, clearly stunned by Yun Xiaoxiao's prowess.
Yun Xiaoxiao stroked Lord Slasher lovingly.
It wasn't her strength that was great, it was all thanks to Lord Slasher!
This weapon was powerful enough!
