There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 49 There is a woman named Pei Jue

Lu Youhe sensed something was wrong and turned to run.

"Lu Ren! I'm warning you!"

This is also why she didn't want to go out with Lu Ren this morning.

Lu Ren grabbed his petite and adorable little sister, picked her up and showered her with affection, while Lu Youhe made all sorts of strange noises and elbowing gestures, but to no avail.

"Are you sick? Are you sick?"

"Quickly call out 'Onii-chan,' or I won't let you down."

"Ahhh, Lu Ren!"

The "collateral" she drew was her shrunken figure, which has now returned to the appearance of an upper elementary school student.

Although it will also greatly affect the battle, as an item master, it is enough to make full use of the power of alchemical items.

"I want to change this deposit; I'll go back and cancel the contract right now!"

Using this talent, Lu Youhe will randomly select from the 'old, weak, sick, disabled and young' groups. Among them, the young are the least affected, and the 'old' are the next most affected.

But neither Lu Ren nor Lu Youhe themselves wanted to become old and frail.

Actually, it wasn't bad at all, and Lu Ren was particularly satisfied.

He even felt that this was not a price to pay, but a reward from God.

Little sisters are cutest when they're still tiny.

Of course, if you really treat this little girl like a primary school student, Lu Youhe will get angry with you.

Getting back to the main topic, Lu Ren is going to practice his sword today.

Lu Ren's current weapon manipulation attribute is also on the Firefly Armor. He is equipped with a black iron-grade alchemical weapon, a fine sword that can cut through iron like mud, which is enough to withstand the intensity of his battles.

Lu Ren can also activate its ability [Wind Slash], which can unleash a slash similar to sword energy.

Its power is similar to that of a black iron-level spell; it can cut down a tree that takes one person's arm to encircle.

For Lu Ren, what would have been a godsend a month ago is now barely worth anything.

Putting aside its power for now, it's just so cool!

It's also pretty good for dealing with miscellaneous fish.

As a shield warrior, Ji Liguang's weapon manipulation attributes are not high, but she has a silver-grade alchemical artifact.

It's a magic umbrella, capable of both offense and defense. I heard it can fire incredibly powerful laser cannons, and she bought it for a high price when she was a child.

As a result, let alone the cannon, it can't even emit light now, since her skill level of only a few dozen points is simply insufficient to unleash the umbrella's power.

At this moment, a considerable number of people had gathered in the sword training ground; these were all members of Shen Yaoxing's clan.

Lu Ren got along well with them, and nothing like Ji Liguang had said happened—no one was unhappy with him and they clashed. As for why…

"It's Brother Lu Ren!"

"Brother Lu Ren!"

"Big brother, you're so slow!"

Besides Lu Ren and his sister, the group of kids who trained together on weekdays were a bunch of little brats, the youngest being only six or seven years old and the oldest no more than eleven or twelve.

Those who are older no longer do this kind of basic training. After awakening their profession, who would still learn such basic things?

As soon as Lu Ren arrived, a group of kids rushed towards him.

These are mostly parents who are too busy or simply too lazy to take care of their children, so they leave them with the clan to help take care of them.

It's called a training class, but it's more like a daycare center.

Ji Liguang, standing to the side, crossed his arms and watched Lu Ren being surrounded by a group of kids, nodding: "You're quite popular with children."

"Brother Lu Ren, let's play that! Let's play Eagle Catches Chickens!"

This game doesn't exist in the world. As soon as Lu Ren brought it up, it became very popular with these kids, who have been pestering him to play it for the past two days.

"Alright, alright, isn't the teacher here yet?"

"not yet!"

"Brother Lu Ren, who is this?"

"It's your sister Youhe."

"Youhe-neechan, what happened to you?!"

"Isn't it cute?"

Lu Youhe looked helpless, her hands on her hips, her face still very serious.

At this moment, two or three more mischievous kids climbed all over him, and Lu Ren felt a bit overwhelmed.

Indeed, all children in the world are the same, regardless of social status. Children will always be children. When Xun was a child, he would pester Runtu to take him hunting badger.

However, since they are all children, there are naturally no melodramatic plots like those in novels where children are provoked and then humiliated.

"Huh, why is there such a small one here? It wasn't here yesterday, was it?"

Lu Ren saw a little girl who was three or four years old. Logically speaking, such a young child from the tribe should not be sent here for training.

Moreover, the little girl was all alone, and because she didn't fit in with the group, she seemed a bit dull.

Lu Ren asked the older children who that was, but they all chimed in with questions, none of them knowing. A 12-year-old boy whispered to Lu Ren:

"Brother Lu Ren, she is my younger sister. She used to live with my fourth uncle in Beishan City, but she was brought back here a few days ago, so she is not very familiar with the other younger siblings."

"Where is your fourth uncle?"

"The adults said that a new rift in the dimensional world appeared in Beishan some time ago. My fourth uncle went in with some people and never came back. He died."

"...Where is your aunt?"

"They went in too."

Rifts in the virtual world can suddenly appear, and the moment they appear, a large number of virtual beasts will flood into reality.

At this point, professionals are needed to hunt down the Void Beasts, and powerful professionals are needed to enter the rift, block the beast tide, and then disrupt the formation of the Void Realm Rift.

The former faces numerous crises, while the latter has a slim chance of survival.

This world is far less safe than the one he lived in before, Lu Ren thought with a sigh.

This little girl is a member of the Shen family, so there's no need to worry about her being unattended or having a poor quality of life. But her parents died when she was just a few years old, so she probably doesn't even know what death is, or only has a vague concept of it.

Lu Ren, with two little devils still attached to him, walked up to the little guy and squatted down.

"Little sister, why are you here all alone? What's your name?"

The little guy looked at him and answered in a clear voice, "Xiao Jue".

"Xiao Jue? I understand. You can call me Brother Lu Ren."

"Brother Lu Ren...?" the little guy asked in a slightly childish voice.

"Hmm, does Xiaojue want to play games with her older brothers and sisters?"

"…game?"

"Yeah, it's about playing together."

Shen Peijue didn't answer, but nodded repeatedly with a serious little face, making little puppy-like "uh-huh" sounds, and the little tuft of hair on her head swayed back and forth.

Lu Ren smiled and patted her head.

He looked at the little devils beside him and said, "Today we're going to play Eagle Catches Chicks. I'll be the eagle, and then... Xiao Jue'er will be the mother hen."

Hearing her name called, Xiao Jue looked up at him, somewhat puzzled.

"Great!"

"Hurry, hurry, the teacher will be here soon, let's get started!"

"I want to be first in line!"

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors!"

Under Xiao Jue's puzzled gaze, all the older brothers and sisters who had just ignored him hid behind him.

This game was originally designed as an interactive educational game for children aged 3 to 10. After Lu Ren explained the rules to her, Shen Peijue's chubby little face immediately became very serious.

"Did you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!"

"Great, you're very motivated... Now I'll start making arrests!"

It would be easy for Lu Ren to catch someone, but he always narrowly escaped with Xiao Jue defending him.

Shen Peijue, small as a child, nervously ran back and forth with her arms outstretched.

The little devils behind them followed suit, bending and swaying, shouting and yelling in waves.

Seeing that things were about right, Lu Ren grabbed a scapegoat and announced that someone else would become the "mother hen" to continue the game.

Ji Liguang, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed, watched for a while, then said to Lu Youhe:

"How did your brother come up with such a boring game?"

"Him? He's been a childish brat since he was little, so annoying."

"Exactly, isn't it childish?"

Five minutes later, the blonde girl opened her arms, shielding all the little ones behind her, and laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

"If you want to break through my defense, Lu Ren, you'd better train for another ten thousand years, hahaha."
