44: Taohuayuanji! The Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts! 3/5

Ten days passed in a flash, and Wu Tian had already completed the first mission issued by the system within the first five days.

And he also received a reward.

Five million in cash!

To be honest... Wu Tian looked at the slightly changed numbers in his account, and he seriously suspected that the system was just being perfunctory!

"Damn it!"

"System, tell me, is this five million you gave me the money I recharged earlier?"

"..."

System: Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!

Wu Tian: ..."Don't mess around!"

"Can you put some effort into it next time?!"

"Received!"

"Uh... Oh right, can this five million be recharged again, and you just randomly give me a Talent or something?"

Wu Tian asked mischievously.

"Get lost!"

...It had been five days since he returned to Songjiang City to live a leisurely life.

During this time, Wu Tian actually found time to go to Chang'an with Dr. Li and had an authentic bowl of mutton paomo.

With extra meat and beer!

However, there was a small interlude midway through.

"..."

"Um... Little Brother Wu Tian..."

Just as Wu Tian was slurping his soup with gusto,

Zhang Meng, sitting opposite him, suddenly pinched her voice and said sweetly and softly.

"Pfft!"

Wu Tian spat out a mouthful of soup, startling Professor Li Xiangzhe opposite him into a shiver!

"Cough, cough..."

Wu Tian gave an awkward smile.

"Um..."

"Miss Zhang, just say what you need directly, no need to beat around the bush with me."

"We're all familiar with each other!"

"Okay..."

Zhang Meng nodded.

But she still said with some embarrassment,

"That notebook you found earlier just happened to be my grandfather'sRelics, and I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. It's great to finally meet again today!"

"Um..."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Meng seriously thanked Wu Tian.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

He thought it was something important, but it was just for this?

"It was just a small favor, Miss Zhang Meng doesn't need to dwell on it!"

"Mm."

Zhang Meng nodded, seemingly hesitant to speak.

"You..."

Wu Tian was startled.

He no longer had time to eat his paomo and cautiously asked her,

"Is there something else?"

"Mm."

Zhang Meng smiled and nodded.

"Actually..."

"People in our family only engage in two types of work: either scientific research or exploration. My personality is quite similar to my grandfather's; I have a natural love for exploration."

"So, next time you go exploring, can you take me with you?"

"..."

As soon as Zhang Meng said this,

Wu Tian immediately frowned.

He didn't want to bring this woman in front of him, even though her legs were long, her appearance was outstanding, her figure was perfect, and she was tall and proud... But!

He still didn't want to bring her!

Even bringing a mascot like Rice was troublesome, let alone Zhang Meng, a woman who was clearly useless.

"This..."

Wu Tian thought for a moment and politely refused.

"I still haven't decided on the location for the next expedition, so it's a bit too early to talk about this."

"It's fine!"

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up.

"I majored in geography for my master's degree, I'm good at this!"

"Uh..."

Wu Tian was stunned.

"We will encounter many dangers, possibly cliffs, and even more likely bottomless abysses!"

"What a coincidence!"

Zhang Meng pulled out a certificate from her bag and threw it in front of Wu Tian!

"Rock Climbing Level 5 Certificate"

"..."

"But..."

Wu Tian bared his teeth.

"Sometimes I encounter environments like Chernobyl; it's very dangerous!"

"It's fine!"

Zhang Meng puffed out her chest!

"I'm not afraid of death!"

"No..."

Wu Tian's head was buzzing.

"Then there's also the possibility of encountering places that are difficult to survive in, such as deserts, wilderness, or even extreme weather!"

"Ha!"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Bang!

Another qualification certificate was once again thrown onto the table by Zhang Meng.

"'Wilderness Survival Coach Qualification Certificate'!"

Zhang Meng smiled proudly.

"I earned it the year I came of age!"

"Even so!"

Wu Tian rubbed his face.

"Your personality is too soft; such a personality is not suitable for outdoor exploration!"

"Hehe..."

At this moment, Professor Li Xiangzhe, who was eating paomo next to them, chuckled.

"Little friend Wu Tian, don't just look at how gentle Zhang Meng is now."

"The year she just turned 18, she had already become a well-known 'reckless person' in the exploration circle, relying on her impulsive personality!"

"She's not afraid of anything and dares to go anywhere!"

"Just take her with you!"

"She definitely won't be a burden!"

"..."

Wu Tian: What a sin!

...After much effort, Wu Tian finally exchanged phone numbers and WeChat with Zhang Meng, and only then was he released. He took an evening flight back to Songjiang City.

These past few days had been very pleasant.

But Wu Tian still hadn't forgotten the terrifying days he spent in Chernobyl!

Those dangers, those unknowns!

If he hadn't unlocked the First-Order Gene Lock after breaking through his limits,

Would he still be alive today?

Therefore, Wu Tian had been frantically searching for information these past few days, catching up on all aspects of knowledge he hadn't encountered before.

Quantum physics, geology, paleontology, archaeology—all of these were within Wu Tian's scope of study.

And besides these,

Wu Tian was also continuously learning about dangerous areas around the world.

Preparing for his next expedition.

"..."

"Xiao Tian?"

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Suddenly,

Wu Tian's mother waved at Wu Tian.

"Come quickly!"

"Your aunt's cousin participated in the city's poetry recitation competition today, hurry and come watch!"

"Alright!"

Wu Tian put down his computer and watched the TV program with his mother.

"Hehe..."

Wu's mother chuckled.

"Look quickly, how cute your cousin is, she's been a beauty since she was little!"

"Yes!"

"She's quite cute!"

Wu Tian smiled and nodded.

"Oh right, Mom."

"What are they reciting today?"

"It seems to be called something like..."

Wu's mother pondered slightly.

"That's right!"

"It's called 'the peach blossom spring'!"

"the peach blossom spring?"

Wu Tian was startled!

At the same time, the announcement on the TV screen ended, and the sound of middle school students reciting in unison came from the speakers.

"During the Taiyuan era of the Jin Dynasty, a fisherman from Wuling made his living by fishing. He followed the stream, forgetting how far he had gone..."

[Ding dong!]

[The next Target location has been repeatedly mentioned, so the mission is released in advance: Find the Peach Blossom Garden!]

[Mission Target: Find the Peach Blossom Garden and explore its secrets!]

[Does the Peach Blossom Garden exist? What kind of secrets are hidden within it? Host, please uncover them one by one!]

[Exclusive Talent Unlocked: Seven Kill Orders of Gods and Ghosts (Orange!)]

[Departure Countdown: 24 hours!]

"..."

"Holy crap!"

Wu Tian's face instantly changed. Listening to the cold voice of the system in his mind, he suddenly gasped!

"Are you messing with me?!"
