44 "Every boast I ever made, I've brought to life."

In the county town.

Song Yuncheng arrived right on time to deliver lunch to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He was wearing dark gray pants with gathered cuffs and a blue short-sleeved shirt. With his clean-cut features, he looked full of youthful vigor.

"Sister, here's your lunch. It's still warm," he said, coming up to the counter where Lin Zhao was working and setting down the lunchbox.

Lin Zhao took the meal and opened it. The box was packed to the brim with coarse grain rice, topped with mouth-watering spicy stir-fried pork and vermicelli stir-fried with cabbage.

"Have you eaten yet?" she asked.

To demonstrate the purpose of shooting this video, Wang Yufei deliberately ran behind Baishu and filmed the cash register screen, which completely lacked any final amount display.

Just as it was wondering how to find Su Yu without alerting the two ferocious beasts, it was astonished to discover that the human it wanted to devour had actually appeared before it of his own accord.

From the very beginning, the Ancestral Elder had been putting on an act. The watermelon rind, the banana peel, the praise, and the punishment—it was all a performance, staged for the thief to see.

Only the contestants, members of the Medical Alliance, and specially invited guests were permitted to enter this competition area.

In return for his courtesy, Sima Yuan immediately offered a peach of his own, greeting him with a smile, "This junior brother greets Senior Brother Wang."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, a thought suddenly crossing his mind: should he pull a five-in-a-row sweep every single match and claim the entire ten thousand merit points for himself? He wondered if Old Wu would agree.

The general and Sisi were holding back, fearing they might accidentally injure civilians. As for the civilians, they were well aware of the gap in strength between themselves and the lewd bandit before them, and were terrified of rushing out to become cannon fodder.

Seeing her rub her stomach, he suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten anything since waking up early that morning, and inwardly reproached himself for being so careless.

Having completed the move in an instant, he teleported once again, materializing right in front of the second wolf. With a repeat of the same trick, another wolf was driven deep into the ground.

However, the water-spitting scene that should have mirrored the previous one never happened. The ground was left with only a sunken crater of cracked rubble, and the middle-aged uncle had no idea where he had gone.

Shi Tianhao glanced over and saw Ah Xi staring fixedly at the gold necklace that a customer far across the room was trying on. He froze, then his eyes widened in horror, sensing that a major disaster was unfolding! Yet, Shi Tianhao had woken up far too late. Ah Xi's fixed stare turned into a beaming smile, and then she burst out laughing uncontrollably.

"No! But I still can't shake my worry. Let the remaining two companies of the first battalion go and meet up with the Colonel. Don't forget what happened back in Beiping City—this time, those people are likely to play for keeps with even deadlier force," Han Biao said with deep concern.

Before returning to the bedroom, she stood at the doorway and took a deep breath, finally mustering the courage to step inside. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the bright red mandarin duck wedding quilt on the arhat bed, and her brows knitted together in a frown. Where was she supposed to sleep tonight?

Yet at the very moment of completion, Ling, who had previously been at the half-step green diamond rank, broke through her limits to reach an even higher tier. Her domain seemed predestined as it released its power right there within the enclosed royal palace.

Mirage Teleportation Art. It is my family's ancestral grave-robbing secret technique. Enough idle chatter—why have you returned here?

Xiao Yu and Zhang Bingyu stepped forward to collect their competition passes, pinned them on, and then walked into the venue guided by the staff.

Merit points were divided into imperial court merit points and historical plot mission merit points. Imperial court merit points were generally earned by completing missions or making special contributions to the war effort, while historical plot mission merit points were obtained by slaying Yellow Turban soldiers.

Lin Yuan nodded and glanced inside Blacksmith Harry's shop. Most of the inventory consisted of farming tools, with only a very small number of swords and blades.

When Shi Tianhao reached them, the other two arrived shortly after amid their bickering, whereupon both instantly fell silent, slightly lowering their heads to suppress their smiles.

Then, a look of bloodlust and cruelty crept across his face, and violent magical fluctuations began to flicker around his body.

Lin Yan swept his hand across the faces of the two soldiers, and in his palm appeared two membrane-thin layers, light as cicada wings.
