The ice-cold water sprayed down from his head. Xia Pingan raised his head and stood in the bathroom, allowing the ice-cold water droplets to slide down from his body …
Xia Pingan's body was not considered robust, and the muscles on his body were not as exaggerated as those of a bodybuilder. However, the muscles on his body were clearly defined, as if they were carved out of marble, and filled with a kind of charm that alternated between hardness and softness.
Under the cold water, the Motionless Ming Of Silla tattoo on Xia Pingan's back became more vivid.
The water could not only wash away the dust and sweat on the body, but it could also completely calm the mind and brain.
Just this afternoon, Xia Pingan and the others completed two days of study. Tomorrow morning, the fifty-four people participating in the "Skymender Plan" would enter the spatial rift in batches and head to that mysterious world.
According to the chief researcher of the base, the world on the other side of the spatial rift was officially called Yuanqiu.
Yuanqiu, this was a strange name with an oriental charm. No one knew why that world was called Yuanqiu. The two words' Yuanqiu 'were recorded in the ancient books of that world. The people of that world rarely used it themselves. For the people of that world, they preferred to call the place they lived in' so-and-so continent '.
Yuanqiu was so big that even now, the first four batches of people who entered Yuanqiu didn't know how big that world was. Yuanqiu had nine discovered continents. The area of each continent easily exceeded the area of all the continents on Earth combined.
The summoners of Yuanqiu could become gods. At the same time, that world was filled with all kinds of unimaginable creatures, demons, and ghosts. Yuanqiu didn't have nuclear energy. For some reason, the entire Yuanqiu couldn't use electricity.
The first few batches of elites who entered Yuanqiu, including some scientists and top engineers, had planned to bring Yuanqiu into the era of electricity and create a technological empire in that world. Then, they would use the power of technology to find and destroy the Dark Tower. However, this plan had undoubtedly failed.
When a world couldn't use electricity, there wouldn't be any modern technology.
Coal and steam were the most commonly used energy sources in that world. Guns, gunpowder, cars, and trains were all available in that world. The level of technological development in that world was similar to this world's first industrial revolution.
There were summoners who wanted to become gods, all kinds of demons and ghosts, as well as guns, steam engines, ships, and trains. That world felt a little magical.
There were all kinds of big and small family forces, sects that worshipped all kinds of gods, countries with all kinds of political systems, sects, mercenary groups … That world was extraordinarily complicated.
Not only did the Summoners in that world have to face all kinds of monsters, but the wars and struggles between humans were also extremely intense.
For the people of this world, space invasions and those monsters were the greatest enemies of all human beings. However, it was different in that world. In that world, races and monsters such as Demon Wolves, Demon Rats, Demon Fire Spiders and so on were also hostile to the humans of that world, but that hostility was not as urgent as the life and death of this world.
The wars and conflicts between the humans in that world were even more intense. There were wars and conflicts between different sects, countries, and clans. There were also wars and conflicts that were mixed with all kinds of factors. They almost never stopped.
…
This might be Xia Pingan's last bath in this world.
As Xia Pingan washed his body with the ice-cold water, he went through the various information he had learned about that world in the past two days. The ice-cold water made Xia Pingan's mind unusually active. He classified, summarized, and refined the information in his mind to find the most useful information for himself.
This information was only a part of the Yuanqiu world. It was collected from the previous' Heaven Mending Plan '. The impact of the first four missions of the' Heaven Mending Plan 'on the Yuanqiu world was like a drop of water in the ocean. It did not cause the slightest ripple. Those who went to the Yuanqiu world and did not return were either sacrificed or missing.
Xia Pingan was very interested in the sagemaster of that world. According to the chief researcher of the base, the sagemaster of that world could cultivate summoners and help them smoothly integrate with some realm beads. Therefore, the sagemaster of that world had the highest status among the summoners.
What kind of realm beads were the sagemaster's realm beads?
If he could become a sagemaster, it would be of great help to the completion of the 'Heaven Patching Plan'.
After taking a bath, just as he dried his hair and changed into a new set of clothes, the doorbell rang.
Xia Pingan opened the door and saw Yan Duo standing outside in high spirits. "How is it? Are you ready?" Yan Duo raised his eyebrows at Xia Pingan.
"Let's go!"
Tonight was their last night in this world. They would leave tomorrow morning. Therefore, the 54 summoners of the Great Fire Country had a small gathering tonight to prepare a "last dinner". After arriving at that world, they might not even have the chance to gather together …
In the past two days, the details of the 'Heaven Patching Plan' had been clarified. This mission was completely free. There were no teams or captains. As long as they arrived at that world, everyone would be free. Except for the final mission of destroying the Dark Tower, everyone could do whatever they wanted and take any action they wanted.
Of course, if you wanted to team up with someone, you could do that too.
Xia Pingan and Yan Duo arrived at the small dining hall in the base. More than half of the 54 people had already arrived.
The dining hall was filled with a soothing atmosphere. There were some drinks and cold food on the tables. Apart from Xia Pingan and the others who were carrying out this mission, no one else from the base was here. The atmosphere in the dining hall was relatively free, but there was also some uneasiness and agitation.
Everyone gathered in twos and threes and chatted.
"Haha, Third Brother, you're here too …" Seeing that Wuzhan Feng had arrived, Yan Duo raised his voice and winked at Xia Pingan before striding towards Wuzhan Feng.
Wuzhan Feng originally had his back facing them and was taking food from the table. When he heard Yan Duo's voice, Xia Pingan saw Wuzhan Feng's shoulders stiffen.
Xia Pingan smiled and ignored Yan Duo and Wuzhan Feng. Instead, he walked towards a group of people at the side.
That group of people was in the middle of a discussion.
"I feel that when we get there, it's best if we organize a treasure hunting group. If we can find a cave abode or hidden treasure left behind by a high-level summoner, or a vein of mysterious Divine Consciousness Crystals, our strength will definitely increase tremendously. This will help us quickly integrate into that world and obtain the resources we need!"
The summoner who said this was called Li Yang. He was a chubby man with a round face and small eyes. He was very active.
"Li Yang, don't joke around. There are 54 of us, and we're not even at the One-Sun Realm. When we get there, we'll first develop and live in seclusion. It's best if we don't attract attention. If we really gather together to hunt for treasures, we'll be digging our own graves. Once we get used to the environment over there, it's best if we plan our next move. With just the few of us now, even if we find something good over there, we won't be able to keep it.
Even if we die, it'll be a disaster! "Someone in the group immediately raised a different opinion.
"It's precisely because we're weak that we need to be more united when we get there!" Li Yang said, unconvinced.
"You only see the strength of being united, but you don't see the risks of being united. There are 54 of us. If we're separated, we might seem weaker, but we'll be more flexible and have more opportunities. To put it bluntly, even if a few of us are sacrificed, the others will still be alive and can continue to look for opportunities to become stronger and search for the Dark Tower. If we get together and something happens, the loss will be huge and difficult to make up for. No matter what others do, when I get there, I'll definitely act alone!"
"I feel that joining a clan or sect and using the strength of those clans and sects to strengthen ourselves and search for the Dark Tower is the best choice!" someone else said.
"If we join a clan or sect, we might just become cannon fodder …"
After listening to everyone's conversation, Xia Pingan took a cup of the base's specialty snow plum wine and went to a corner of the restaurant to drink quietly.
He wondered how Xia Ning, Old Tu, and the others were doing. The situation in Yizhou should be better.
Before leaving, Xia Pingan thought of Xia Ning, Old Tu, and the others.
Xia Pingan shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. He prided himself on being straightforward and never being sloppy. However, at this moment, he was still reluctant to part with them. His feelings were a little complicated.
Fortunately, the snow plum wine with only a little over ten percent alcohol content was refreshing and fragrant. It was able to relax one's mind.
After drinking half of the wine, a fragrant wind blew beside him. Jiang Duo 'er, who was wearing a long purple dress, was holding a cup of wine and walking to Xia Pingan's side.
"How is it? Do you have any plans when you get there?" Jiang Duo 'er asked Xia Pingan while holding a cup of wine.
"The situation over there is very complicated. It's useless to say anything now. When we get there, we'll act according to the situation!"
"Why? You don't want to tell me, or are you afraid that I'll miss you?" Jiang Duo 'er's eyes flickered as she glanced at Xia Pingan flirtatiously.
The atmosphere tonight was a little special. In just a short while, Xia Pingan saw Yan Duo holding Wu Zhanfeng's shoulder. The two of them had already walked towards two beautiful female Summoners not far away. The two female Summoners were called Lang Xia and Su Qingqing. They were very beautiful.
Ming Ruolan was still not present tonight, but everyone seemed to be used to it.
Xia Pingan retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Duo 'er. He smiled. "Actually, you've already thought about what to do when you get there. Why do you need to ask me? My choice is actually similar to yours. It's just that it depends on the opportunity. We'll make our choice when we get there …"
"I understand. The power of an individual is indeed too insignificant. I hope we have a chance to work together!" Jiang Duo 'er nodded and smiled. She clinked glasses with Xia Pingan, took a sip of wine, and then walked away.
There was indeed no need to say too much when communicating with smart people.
Xia Pingan had just finished a glass of wine and was about to get some cold food when he realized that the entire restaurant was suddenly silent. He turned his head and saw Ming Ruolan, who was wearing a snow-white dress at the entrance of the restaurant. She was like a bright moon, and her entire body was shining with a clear light as she walked into the restaurant.
No one expected Ming Ruolan to actually come tonight, so the restaurant was temporarily silent.
Ming Ruolan swept her gaze across the restaurant and walked directly towards Xia Pingan. She said something to Xia Pingan that no one expected.
"When I get there, I need a male companion. It's best if he can become my husband. Can you be this person?"
The entire restaurant was instantly silent. Under such circumstances, a certain Summoner's hand trembled due to shock, and the sound of the wine glass shattering on the ground was exceptionally crisp.
To be honest, this was the first time Xia Pingan saw Ming Ruolan talking to someone else.
Moreover, it was hard to resist once she spoke.
Such a stunning woman actually came to look for a husband the moment she opened her mouth. Moreover, she was looking for him.
Xia Pingan wanted to confirm if Ming Ruolan was joking with him. However, when he looked into those beautiful eyes, he saw calmness and seriousness. There was no hint of teasing in those eyes.
