Ren Xiaosu had already given up. He could already foresee that there would definitely be a lot more trouble popping up in the next six and a half days.
Therefore, when the young man asked what everyone was best at, he simply said singing nursery rhymes.
The reason the young man chose Ren Xiaosu as the first to answer was mainly because he wanted to test Ren Xiaosu. After that, he wanted to see how the others would answer so he could gain a deeper understanding of the others in the group.
However, the question was cut off when it came to Ren Xiaosu. He could not continue asking the rest of the question!
The young man asked Big Bluff a little awkwardly what he was good at. After Ren Xiaosu started by saying he was good at singing nursery rhymes, Big Bluff followed up and said he was good at kneading plasticine. If not for the fact that everyone was getting ready for dinner, he could have even said he was good at picking feet.
The question was left unanswered. Cheng Yu returned to his campfire and looked at Ren Xiaosu through the flickering flames.
He was a little puzzled. Was this young man pretending to be stupid or did he really have some strange hobby?
Cheng Yu was sure that Ren Xiaosu was not stupid. After all, a fool could not become a C-rank hitman. He was different from Zhou Yingxue, who rose straight to A-rank before joining the Anjing House. Cheng Yu had risen through the ranks step by step by doing missions.
He knew very well that even if a fool were lucky enough to pick up a cell phone, it would still be impossible for him to rise from a D-rank to a C-rank.
But when he thought about how his assistant said Ren Xiaosu and the others had gone out to jump rope in the afternoon, Cheng Yu's judgment became a little uncertain.
Cheng Yu had wanted to conduct a background check on everyone tonight, but he could not do anything about it now.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Ren Xiaosu went out alone to catch two large rabbits and roasted them.
When he started the hunt, many of the people in the campsite went out to catch game. With so many people going out, it was hard to tell who was going out to catch game and who was taking the opportunity to go out and plot something with their companions.
Ren Xiaosu hung the fat rabbits on a branch and smeared honey on them as he said to Yang Xiaojin, "Go ahead and laugh. Don't hold it in."
Yang Xiaojin pursed her lips. "It sounds quite nice."
Next to him, the Great Hoodwinker said, "I get it. Future Commander, you must be trying to confuse these people so that they won't be able to see your true strength. That's why you suddenly feigned ignorance, right?"
Pretending to be a dog egg!
With a dark expression, Ren Xiaosu handed the branch with the rabbit on it to the Great Hoodwinker. "I want some peace and quiet!"
That night, the Great Hoodwinker suggested he keep watch at night. He was quite energetic and could keep watch, but Ren Xiaosu disagreed.
Later, the Great Hoodwinker said he would take turns with Ren Xiaosu, one for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night. As such, Yang Xiaojin did not have to keep watch at night. After all, she was a girl, so she should be taken care of when she was out.
In the end, Yang Xiaojin also disagreed. In her opinion, everyone in a team should do their part. At this time, there was no such thing as gender, only teammates and companions.
Later, they compromised. Today, Ren Xiaosu and Big Bluff would each keep watch for the night. Tomorrow, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin would each keep watch for the night. The day after that, Yang Xiaojin and Big Bluff would take turns to keep watch. In this way, there would always be one person in the team who would be the most energetic on that day to deal with emergencies.
At night, when Ren Xiaosu was keeping watch for the first half of the night, he observed for a while. Indeed, as Big Bluff had said, these seemingly solitary experts all seemed to have a division of labor. Each of them had someone keeping watch for the night.
During the day, Ren Xiaosu wondered if there would be any real lone killers among them. But now, he realized there was not a single one of them.
Previously, Ren Xiaosu was worried that even though the Anjing House had split up into several groups to enter the Sacred Mountains, they might not be able to affect the Pyro Company much even if they joined forces.
But from the looks of it, those consortiums were probably really interested in the No. 001 Experimental.
Longevity, huh?
Ren Xiaosu had never thought about longevity before. He always felt it might not be a good thing for some people to live too long.
If cats were unhappy, it would be a tragedy for cats to have nine lives.
Ren Xiaosu did not think those in high positions would be happy with power in their hands.
Tonight, Ren Xiaosu kept watch for the first half of the night. This time, he was keeping watch in front of Yang Xiaojin's tent. Yang Xiaojin still had her pistol within easy reach. However, her breathing was more even now, and she was sleeping more soundly.
Ren Xiaosu turned around and glanced at Yang Xiaojin, who was sleeping soundly. This girl was probably so wary of her because she did not have anyone to rely on in the past.
If he compared Yang Xiaojin's current state to her previous state, she could not even fully trust Luo Xinyu. After all, Luo Xinyu was by her side back in the Jing Mountains. But at that time, Ren Xiaosu had clearly observed that this girl had never really slept soundly.
At this moment, the young man who had asked Ren Xiaosu what he was best at got up and walked into the wilderness. He might have gone to the bathroom.
Initially, Ren Xiaosu did not take this matter to heart. But something from the palace suddenly changed Ren Xiaosu's expression.
Ren Xiaosu's face turned livid as he sat at the entrance of the tent. After the young man returned to the campsite about ten minutes later, Ren Xiaosu looked up and asked, "Why were you gone for so long? Did you pee your hands?"
The young man was confused.
Was he crazy?!
The young man flew into a rage out of humiliation. "What's so strange about that? Have you never peed on your hands before?"
Ren Xiaosu lamented. Judging by the young man's reaction, he had actually hit the nail on the head.
But he really did not want to ask such a strange question. It was the palace who had instructed him to ask!
Moreover, the palace suddenly added after this mission, "As you have completed three punishment missions perfectly, a side quest has been unlocked. If you complete every mission perfectly within seven days, you will receive a new skill as a reward."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned on the spot. He did not even listen to what the young man had to say after that.
So after he completed all three punishment missions perfectly today, a new side quest had been unlocked and he could even receive a new skill?
At the mention of a new skill, Ren Xiaosu was very excited. After all, even a food crop like the Potato Shooter could be put to good use at a critical moment.
Ren Xiaosu was a very pragmatic person. As long as he could get a new skill, he was not afraid of losing a little face!
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu heard the sound of something stepping on rotten leaves in the wilderness behind him. But when he turned around, he did not see anything.
Ren Xiaosu counted the number of people in the campsite. Everyone was clearly here, so who could have made that sound?
He recalled his encounters in the Jing Mountains. At that time, they had also encountered a lot of strange things.
The commotion outside the campsite not only startled Ren Xiaosu, but also many of the people who were sleeping. It seemed like none of the people here were simple people.
Yang Xiaojin asked in a low voice, "Is there an enemy attack?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "Don't worry and sleep. Everything will be fine with me around."
He was no longer that ignorant young man in the Jing Mountains.
