How awful! They just bully single people.
Suddenly, she remembered what Gu Ran had said to her earnestly when they were having a late-night snack last night:
"Don't push yourself if you're not ready. A young woman's body is very precious before marriage. If she gets hurt, someone will feel sorry for her."
"Someone will feel sorry for me... but who will feel sorry for me?" Susie thought silently.
Chu Zihang will probably care about her, but it will likely be just the kind of concern a friend would have. He'll come over and say hello, and that'll be about it.
With his emotional intelligence, he wouldn't even ask where the wound is...
Lancelot... will definitely feel sorry for her, and might even come to take care of her every day.
But so what? She had no feelings for Lancelot.
People who don't like you will find everything they do wrong.
She disliked Lancelot and had explicitly rejected him back in Madagascar.
The only people left who would truly feel sorry for her are her best friend Nuonuo and her parents.
But that wasn't love!
Unconsciously, Susie looked at Gu Ran's back again.
Will he... feel sorry for me?
……
On the plane, after taking his seat, Gu Ran immediately took out an eye mask and said to Susie next to him, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we get to Chiang Mai."
"it is good."
After Gu Ran closed his eyes, he soon entered the dream world of Mount Myōboku.
In the dream, he immediately created nine shadow clones and began practicing various ninjutsu.
He had already tested it; in this world, the maximum number of shadow clones a person can create is nine.
To break through the upper limit, you need to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
During this period, whenever he had time, he would try to enter the immortal mode.
However, he is currently on a mission and has not continued the experiment.
If the experiment fails, you will be petrified in your dream for 8 hours and unable to get out.
It would be terrible if we encountered danger.
Therefore, during the mission, he would only practice ninjutsu and taijutsu, as well as drawing explosive tags, in his dreams.
Now, Gu Ran knows Fire Release and can use fire-type chakra.
According to the method for making explosive tags provided by the system, the main purpose of explosive tags is to seal fire-style ninjutsu within the tags.
This requires certain conditions to be met regarding the talisman paper.
Gu Ran recently experimented with Xuan paper from a scroll and found that it could seal fire-escape techniques, but its power was only average and not as strong as a hand grenade.
Therefore, Gu Ran is still searching for another type of paper to replace it.
In the dream world of Mount Myōboku, there's no way to draw talismans on paper, but you can draw them on the ground as a form of practice.
Furthermore, Gu Ran discovered that drawing talismans on the ground could also be a good option for creating traps.
He can seal Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet on the ground and trigger it when someone passes by.
That's incredibly powerful!
The downside is that this trap takes time, about ten minutes.
In addition, he also practices soft boxing, acupressure, and Bagua Sixty-Four Palms.
Gentle Fist is not limited to attacking with the hands. Strictly speaking, any part of the body can be used to generate chakra from the body's pressure points to attack the opponent as long as it comes into contact with the opponent.
This attack method also requires very precise chakra control.
The shadow clones were practicing various ninjutsu and taijutsu, while Gu Ran's main body was meditating in the waterfall of Mount Myōboku to increase his spiritual power.
The greatest benefit of increased mental strength is enhanced perception.
For example, the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique requires sensing the spell's mark in order to teleport.
At the beginning, when they were at Tian Ding Mountain, Gu Ran's sensing range was only one kilometer.
But now, after repeatedly honing his mental strength, he can sense spell marks within a ten-kilometer radius in one second, and the longest distance he can sense is thirty kilometers, but it takes more time to sense the spell marks.
However, the longer the distance the Flying Thunder God Technique teleports, the more chakra it consumes. Moreover, if it is used to transport people or large objects, even more chakra is consumed.
"Gu Ran, the plane is about to land, wake up." Inside the waterfall, Gu Ran's true form sensed the reaction from the outside world and thus exited the dream of Mount Myōboku.
When his main body exits, the shadow clone in the dream of Mount Myōboku will also disappear instantly, giving him no chance to continue exploiting the bug and continuing his training.
The system is really strict.
In his airplane seat, Gu Ran slowly opened his eyes and found Su Qian staring at him with her face close to his.
"Am I... pretty?" Gu Ran asked, looking at her gentle face.
"Your forehead... there seems to be a diamond-shaped mark, faintly visible."
Susie wasn't staring at Gu Ran because she was attracted to his good looks.
Gu Ran rubbed his temples, where there was a Yin Seal mark. This mark allowed him to store chakra in his temples and accumulate it, releasing the seal when needed.
When his chakra fluctuates, a faint diamond-shaped mark will appear; it will not appear under normal circumstances.
He thought for a moment and explained to Susie, "It's a family heirloom."
“Oh…” Susie nodded, understandingly refraining from asking any further questions.
This time, Angers had his reasons for sending Susie and Gu Ran on the mission together. First, Susie's bloodline was high enough, being A-grade, which gave her a significant advantage when dealing with dragons or hybrids.
Secondly, Susie has an innocent background and no power struggles, so it is very suitable for her to investigate Zhang Qiong's affairs with Gu Ran.
However, Susie was unaware that the mission was to find Zhang Qiong. Her task was to work with Gu Ran to find information about a branch of the Zhang family and investigate the background of this Southeast Asian Zhang family.
This action was also a test for Susie.
She is the vice president of the Lionheart Club and is already a junior. Next year she will officially start her internship in the executive department, where she will definitely be a key figure.
Angers has always secretly shown favoritism towards the Lionheart Society, so this is also an opportunity for Gu Ran and Susie to accumulate merits together.
As for whether the two of them were in danger, Angers was no longer worried after witnessing Gu Ran's strength that night.
Moreover, Gu Ran has been in Southeast Asia for so many days, and the Zhang family of Nanyang has not taken any action against him, as if they did not know that he had come to Southeast Asia.
When Gu Ran was in Bangkok, he deliberately went to secluded places alone several times to see if anyone was following him, and then he would counter-follow them.
As it turned out, no one was monitoring him, and no one wanted to harm him.
Chapter 146 Informant Ah Cai
Perhaps the Zhang family of Nanyang has already learned of Gu Ran's current strength from elsewhere and believes that he has become powerful enough. In addition, with the Secret Party paying attention, they dare not act rashly.
However, they are certainly observing from the shadows; that much is certain.
They even waited for Gu Ran to relax before suddenly striking, catching him off guard.
……
After Gu Ran and Su Xi got off the plane, they went to the hotel they had booked to drop off their things, and then went to a restaurant to eat. While eating, they discussed their plans and actions for the evening.
The Zhang family of Nanyang, who had the blood of their compatriots on their hands, spared no one and executed them all.
Therefore, those who were eventually exiled from China were mostly women and children, numbering about fifty.
Although they are women and children, with the abilities of a hybrid, it is not difficult for them to gain a foothold in a new place.
"According to the investigation, after the Zhang family from Southeast Asia settled in Chiang Mai, they briefly ruled the local underworld. Now, they mainly operate casinos here..."
Susie was talking about the information and intelligence Norma had sent her, which Gu Ran had already read.
He asked, "Didn't we contact a local informant? Where is he?"
Susie was in charge of making the contact. She frowned and said, "I contacted him when I got off the plane, but I haven't heard back since."
Gu Ran frowned and said to Su Xi, "Could I see the text messages you two exchanged?"
"Here you go." Susie handed over the phone directly.
Gu Ran glanced at it a few times and couldn't help but smile.
He asked, "Didn't you tell him that we would give him money?"
"Shouldn't we assess the value of the intelligence before deciding whether to pay?" Susie asked.
“That’s true, but these intelligence brokers are people who won’t get up early for nothing. They won’t come out without a lure.” Gu Ran sent a text message to the informant.
He received a reply immediately.
"Meet me in the park across from your hotel in twenty minutes."
Gu Ran returned the phone to Su Qian. Su Qian looked at it and Gu Ran immediately said he would give her two hundred dollars when they met.
"So many..." Susie wasn't a nouveau riche like Su Xiaoqiang; she knew the prices.
Right now, in fourth- or fifth-tier cities in China, the average worker's monthly income is probably less than two hundred US dollars.
As for the income of the locals in Chiang Mai, it was even lower. In 2009, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the unemployment rate in Siam soared, and many people earned less than $2 a day, and their monthly income might not even be $50.
Gu Ran smiled and said, "We have to spend this money. If we don't, the informant probably won't come out. We can't just let Norma locate him directly, then go to his door, point a gun at him, and demand that he reveal information, can we?"
Susie nodded, agreeing with him.
The informant wasn't a vicious person, so treating him this way was indeed inappropriate.
But why is he so much more mature than her when he's clearly younger?
This made it impossible for her to maintain her senior's airs.
"Gu Ran, I have a question for you."
"Ah."
"Why do you call me 'senior sister' but call Nuonuo 'senior sister'?" Susie had wanted to ask this for a long time.
