Once again, they were close together.

The final event was a test of teamwork between the participants. One teammate had to carry the other on their back and shoot baskets. The team that scored the most within the allotted time would be declared the winner.

“Do you know how to play basketball?” Gu Siyuan asked Yao Zhao.

Yao Zhao shook her head. “No, I don’t.”

“Alright then, you carry me.”

“What?”

[This guy is such a straight shooter, it’s hilarious. I’m dying here. I have no worries about Gu Siyuan getting into a relationship—just look at him, what kind of girl would choose him?]
[I seriously suspect the reason he broke off his engagement with Qu Wan was because she couldn’t stand hearing him talk.]
[Gu Siyuan actually made a girl carry him? Unbelievable.]

Expanding into foreign markets, by comparison, incurred significantly higher costs, and the main consumers of those processed food factory products were still the Chinese diaspora; the overall demand was nowhere near as widespread as it was at home.

As for where Zheng Xuan was headed, that was not something Hu Zhao concerned himself with. Ever since Zheng Xuan left Yingchuan years ago, he’d traveled to countless places; going a bit further wouldn’t make a difference now.

“Let’s cheer them on!” Wei Hang said with a smile, drawing his bow. With a hum, the arrow flew straight toward the flickering ghostly figure.

Fu Xi stepped out at once, paused just outside, looked back, and couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.

Yun Feiyang didn’t know what had happened, but he could sense deep despair and sorrow radiating from Fu Xi.

Ye Xi nodded to show she was listening, still tracing the meridians. After a while, her vision began to change; the crystal veins that had shone alone in the darkness started to twist, as if coming alive, and at certain nodes, faint, warm red lights began to glow.

“What did you find?” Cui Qian frowned slightly, unable to see or sense anything.

For powerhouses like Jie Geng, if they were to have children, there was a good chance their offspring would inherit part of their abilities, starting from the womb—beginning the race at a sprint and leaving ordinary folk far behind.

At that time, he’d already told Dong Yan, no matter the cost, they had to cut the construction period by a third, as long as the quality was maintained. The houses had to go on sale before the deep freeze set in. With over four months left and the current pace of the project, it seemed achievable.

To be honest, compared to Konoha’s other forbidden technique expert—the Earth Spider Pilgrim—Lei Meng was far less impressive.

On the helicopter, Qin Zilan and Shen Dong exchanged glances. What was this monster talking about?

It was after this very slam dunk contest that Carter’s fame skyrocketed, and he later became the top vote-getter for the All-Star team.

He knew very well he lacked the extraordinary talent of Howard or Harden. If he wanted to have a place in the NBA, the effort and sweat required would be far more than anyone could imagine.

A long golden arm shot out like lightning, extending hundreds of meters and crashing violently into something.

He fully understood that Tiandong Xiongyi’s purpose was to use Tiandong Jieyi to attract Yu Bufan, pursuing his own commercial aims and greater ambitions.

Shen Zhao still ignored him, as if she hadn’t heard a word.

While Lan Yingchen was organizing the blueprints spread across the table, Cheng Yao, who had just been fuming with anger, rushed in with tears streaming down her face.

At that moment, I felt my master wanted nothing more than to take that step forward with all his might, yet that very step seemed to be his limit. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t do it, and I sensed his growing impatience.

Over the past year, the villagers had barely managed to get by. To have extra money on hand or eat well every meal, as they did before, had become a thing of the past.

The handsome cultivator quickly swallowed the jade-green elixir, and only then did the color return to his face, the turbulent energy inside him finally settling.

“Now there’s only this last laboratory left,” Misaka Mikoto said, her expression a mix of excitement, grievance, and relief as she gazed at the building across from her.
