Astral Flower-Chapter 61: Reason

In the end, it was Long Qian Xing who looked away first. It was not like he couldn’t continue staring, but he didn’t want to. This childish game was unimportant.

"The protection mechanism in the competition will be set to the highest, but it didn’t mean that there would be no accident there." Long Qian Xing knew that for those with weak mind, the protection mechanism didn’t have much effect on them.

The reason why their memory could be suppressed was mostly because their mental strength was weak and unable to bear the stimulation. The Virtual World would try their best to suppress this memory and compressed it so that they would not even have any impression about this matter.

"Just like the one in your place just now?" Nan Hua asked.

"Yes."

Nan Hua nodded.

For her, even without any protection mechanism, it was fine. She had already suffered so many times that it made no difference for her at all.

"I can handle it."

I can handle it.

If it was other people who said this sentence, Long Qian Xing would not care too much. But when this sentence came from Nan Hua, there was a sense of violation.

Nan Hua’s appearance was soft and cute as a girl. She was beautiful and petite, looking like a fragile young girl who would break easily. Even though she would not get hurt so easily, this was the impression that Nan Hua gave others when they met her.

Long Qian Xing had been reminded by his grandfather countless times to take care of Nan Hua when he returned and received request from Old Master Nan. Looking at the young girl who lowered her head but still looked calm, he seemed to understand something.

Because Nan Hua was not raised in the Nan Family, she had never been a fragile young girl.

While there were some things that would trouble her and annoy her, but she would be able to deal with some things that didn’t go beyond the limit.

She’s not a flower raised in a greenhouse.

On the contrary, she was like a wild flower, growing up beautifully no matter how harsh the weather around her were. It will grasp the chances that was presented in order to survive and finally bloom.

He thought that he had to protect her closely like what Old Master Nan instructed him.

After all, Nan Hua’s impression was really strong.

But now Long Qian Xing knew that protecting someone so tightly would only make it hard for them to grow by themselves. And in the end, everyone had to grow up because they had to walk on their own path.

A path they carved by themselves and other people would either accompany them for a while, bump on the way, or even go against their way.

"Did you get hurt?" Long Qian Xing changed the question.

Nan Hua shook her head. "I’m fine."

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua’s countenance before moving his eyes away. At this moment, he was reminded that Nan Hua’s mental strength had reached 1-6. While this was still at E rank, which was relatively low, but those who could have higher mental strength usually had better and stronger mind.

They would not fall under pressure so easily.

Instead, they were able to walk forward and faced the difficulties in the world even if it seemed to be overwhelming.

Mental strength was not equal to their mentality, but it had some effect more or less. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"It’s good if you’re fine."

The two of them reached the training grounds. There were only some areas that had people around while the rest was empty. Not many people wanted to spend their Saturday by repeating their training.

For those who didn’t properly train their body during weekend, they would be exhausted and were busy making up their sleep and rest.

"I asked my friend to come tomorrow for test practice." Long Qian Xing looked at the training grounds in front of him. "The tactic will be very simple. You run far away and climb the tree, prepare for battle. Long Shi Yu will give order and I’ll sneak attack. Tian Lou will attract their attention and pull them to the location where I’m ready. Tou Lu Pian will stay at the back and help when it is necessary."

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and nodded.

"The tactic of eliminating your opponents with grenade." Long Qian Xing paused for a moment before adding, "Don’t try in the practice. During competition, if you can find the resource point and obtain it, then you can use it."

"Okay."

Some special weapons such as grenade and some others could only be used after they found the resource points. In the first part of the competition, the ten team would basically land in different areas and their goal was to reach the center as fast as possible.

Because there were many resource point and the one with the most resources were the center.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua’s small body. "There’ll be some kind of racing. Do you mind if I carry you?"

Nan Hua: "..."

With her physical strength being the ’worst’ in the team, it was estimated that she would still hinder them even if she did nothing. Because her speed alone was three times slower than the slowest in their team.

It meant that she needed to figure out a way to run faster.

"I don’t mind," Nan Hua replied.

Would it make any difference for her to say that she minds?

It was estimated that Long Qian Xing would still carry her when the competition start so that she would not hinder their speed and could reach the center’s resource point as fast as possible.

Long Qian Xing heard Nan Hua’s answer and looked at her expression, which looked speechless. He chuckled lightly, feeling amused.

Nan Hua raised her head to look at him and Long Qian Xing suppressed his laughter, but there was still a faint smile in his eyes.
