In the afternoon, the two of them rushed to Ye Yu's shop without stopping. Number One was impressed by Li Xiang's energy. They would probably not come back until midnight again. She could only try her best to prepare food for the two of them and take care of Li Xiang.
This was the first time she acted like this as a guide.
Under the giant screen, the countdown color became more and more vivid.
A few days later, the Black Snake X and White Snake X were finally completed.
The creation of these two guns took more time than Li Xiang expected. Hearing him say this, Ye Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This kid didn't experience the pain of not being able to create a gun to his liking after a year and a half. With talent, you can do whatever you want.
"Then I'll go up. See you again, Senior Brother Ye." Li Xiang carried his bag, which contained the black and white guns, the metal console, and a bunch of bullets. He thanked Ye Yu who was standing at the door.
Number One stood far away.
"Yes, you should hurry and go up." Ye Yu looked up and cleaned up his messy image. He looked at the giant screen. The countdown showed 108 hours, 22 minutes, and 11 seconds. It was less than five days before the Aokiji 2-7 took off. "Oh right, the floors above are dangerous. If you can't pass it, don't try to be brave. There will be plenty of chances after you enter University. There's no need to risk your life."
"Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother Ye." Li Xiang nodded. Although he said that, he was determined to get the blueprint of the Winged Chariot.
Just as he turned around, Ye Yu suddenly called him. Seeing Ye Yu's shy look, Li Xiang was puzzled. It was the first time Ye Yu showed such an expression.
"That, that, Junior Brother, I have something to ask of you. Look …" Ye Yu rubbed his hands embarrassedly and took out a photo from his wrinkled clothes. It was a photo of his family of three.
The little girl in the middle smiled very sweetly, and there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
"Hmm?" Li Xiang took the photo.
"This is a family photo I took 14 years ago. My wife died when the bastards from the Mechanic Church invaded. This is my daughter, Ye Lili. She was only four years old then. I haven't been able to find her body. I've been asking around for the past 14 years, but to no avail. However, I feel that she shouldn't be dead. If she's still alive, she would be 18 years old, the same age as you. "
Ye Yu rubbed his hands and said in a low voice.
Li Xiang suddenly understood.
At his age, as long as he could pass the Unified Admissions Exam, he wouldn't be able to avoid the ultimate trial in October. This was the only way to narrow down his search.
Although he only had this one photo, a four-year-old and an eighteen-year-old, and a girl would change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, he reckoned that it would not be useful at all. However, there was still a slight chance that he could find it.
This was the knot in Ye Yu's heart and the pain of his life. Li Xiang naturally nodded in agreement.
Speaking of which, the more he looked at Ye Lili, the more he felt that she resembled someone. However, this kind of coincidence was too fake. He did not want to say anything before he confirmed it, so as not to make Ye Yu happy for nothing.
"I'll try my best. However, Senior Brother Ye, don't have too much hope." Li Xiang sighed. Based on his guess, if Ye Lili really didn't die, she would probably be living a more miserable life now.
It was definitely not a fluke that she didn't die at that time. She must have been taken away by the people from the Machinery Church. Ye Yu knew better than him what the people from the Machinery Church did.
If he did not mention it, Ye Yu's heart would definitely be clear. There was no need to poke at other people's wounds.
"Machinery Church, Machinery Church …" Li Xiang suddenly patted his head. "Isn't that Bai Jiaqi from the Machinery Church? Senior Brother Ye, have you asked around? "
"Although that kid is stupid, he's tight-lipped. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. I'm just a worker under him." Ye Yu shook his head and suddenly raised his head. The two looked at each other and smiled.
"How could I forget about the relationship between you two? Junior Brother, you've probably left a shadow in him for life. Perhaps you can get something out of him if you ask him. This is his steam language. Try it. "Ye Yu immediately provided Bai Jiaqi's steam language.
Li Xiang nodded. He hoped that this Bai Jiaqi would not be so traumatized that she would not even dare to add him.
After the two said their final goodbyes, Li Xiang followed Number One to a higher level.
Number One had already applied to be Li Xiang's personal guide. In fact, the Sky Arena's guide arrangements had a certain bias. They would mainly choose competitors with potential like Li Xiang and then give them some beautiful guides, hoping to keep the competitors.
The meaning of being a personal guide was even more obvious.
Upholding the idea of convenience, Li Xiang immediately agreed.
If he said that he did not have any thoughts about Number One, he would be lying to himself. With such a hot and beautiful woman by his side, being together day and night, ordinary men would not be able to keep their composure. However, thoughts were thoughts. Whether or not he acted on them was another matter altogether.
For Li Xiang, his current attention was only on rushing up the tower level and the future ultimate trial.
However, those greedy thoughts made him unable to give up Number One's service.
Men were all pigs. Thinking of this, he smiled and continued up the stairs.
From the 31st floor onwards, competitors would be able to come into contact with the real Sky Arena. From this floor onwards, every floor would be filled with danger. Most of the competition content could cost one's life if one was not careful.
Only competitors with outstanding intelligence, courage, strength, and mechanical talent would have the opportunity to continuously move up.
Those who came to this floor had a minimum of 30,000 points, with the highest being 50,000 points.
From the 31st to the 40th floor, there were many requirements to advance on each floor. It was not uncommon to be stuck on a floor for a lifetime.
Just as he reached the 31st floor, Li Xiang felt an austere aura. The competitors here were completely different from the ones below. They were all fiendish and did not speak much. They would either directly attack or glare angrily and pass by.
Outside the circular glass wall, he could see the most iconic buildings of City 0123. He could also clearly see the nobles walking in the opposite building. Many noble young ladies and young ladies were constantly waving and throwing flirtatious glances in his direction. They were much more generous and hot than he had imagined.
Seeing him staring at the opposite building, Number One lightly patted his shoulder. Her face was crimson red, and a somewhat unhappy expression appeared on her face.
Because those incomparably slutty noble ladies did not have to worry about food or clothing since they were young and did not have much talent or ambition, they became the famous rice worms of the Seven Continents. Every day, they relied on the endless wealth of their parents and family to drink themselves to death.
There were also some who had a bit of brains and would think of ways to hook up with talented young people. If they invested well, they would even earn a lifetime of wealth.
Even if it was nothing, the physical pleasure and mental satisfaction were enough for them to brag about in their circle.
Number One hated those women, but there was a high chance that in the future, she would either marry a commoner or become the mistress of a noble lord. It would be worse than them.
This kind of fate was something she scoffed at. That was why she had shamelessly applied to be Li Xiang's personal guide. Perhaps there was a high chance that her warm face would be met with cold buttocks, and she would be criticized by others, but she still wanted to take the risk.
Li Xiang did not think so much. When he saw the scene on the opposite side, his first reaction was to carry out his first mission, escorting Dong Ling and Lan's family to Hangzhou. In the super building of the Black City Chamber of Commerce, he had a brief interaction with these women.
The beautiful young lady was holding the potbellied president of the Chamber of Commerce. This kind of life made him sigh.
If he did not climb up step by step like this, and if he continued to live a normal life, would Ye Tong eventually become like this?
After all, hard work was too difficult. This kind of sudden success was enough to make most people lose their way.
But there was no 'if' in this world.
Ye Tong would not become such a young lady. He would not be lost in such a world, or fall to the bottom and never rise again.
One day, he would stand at the top and reach out to pull his sister back to him fair and square.
"Let's go, time is tight. I'm going to the arena." Li Xiang walked into the arena with Number One. This combination was still very eye-catching, but most people's eyes were focused on Number One.
Beautiful women would always turn their heads wherever they went.
"Hey, brother, want to play a game?" A yellow-haired young man jumped out from the side, but his eyebrows were fixed on Number One.
"Play what?" Li Xiang looked around. There was machinery and equipment here, as well as an arena. However, looking at the equipment, many things were very dangerous. Of course, there were no taboos in the arena. Many people were in a killing frenzy, fighting with their lives on the line. Corpses were often carried away.
"I don't like that kind of fighting and killing. Let's be friendly, let's play mechanical chess." The young man pointed to a large arena not far away. "How about it?"
"Okay." Li Xiang had never been afraid of challenges. "How are the points calculated?"
"Ten thousand points per game."
