When Qin Siyang opened his eyes, there was an extra thin blanket covering him.
He shook his head and realized he was still lying on the sofa in the living room.
"Awake?"
He turned his head. Wen Shu stood there with a sweet smile.
"Since you're up, I should head back and get some rest too."
After saying that, she stood up with her book in her arms, "Don't push yourself too hard. Remember to balance work and rest."
Qin Siyang froze for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you."
After Wen Shu left, Qin Siyang looked at the blanket on him and smiled foolishly for a while before getting up and heading out.
This time, he wasn't going hunting gods with Hu Chan.
The three-day deadline had arrived.
He was going to take the three Wang brothers outside the Safe Zone to hunt gods.
"Good thing I didn't oversleep. I didn't miss the time I set with Afa and the others."
Being late on the first trip would not be a good sign.
Even though Qin Siyang was the boss, he believed he couldn't act too casually.
In every word and action, he had to make Wang Defa and the others completely submit to him.
———
By the time Qin Siyang arrived at the courtyard where the Wang family lived, the three brothers were already waiting.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Boss Qin, please don't say that. Being able to follow you is a blessing for the three of us for a lifetime."
Qin Siyang tossed each of them a bottle of sequence potion and said, "Whether it's a blessing or not, it's too early to say. Here, drink this."
The three brothers looked at each other. Without asking anything, they drank the sequence potion directly.
"Do you know what you just drank?"
Wang Defa and the others shook their heads, "No."
"You didn't know, and you still drank it?"
"Whatever Boss Qin tells us to do, we just do it."
Qin Siyang smiled and pointed at Wang Defa, "Afa, you're a smart one. No wonder I've always thought highly of you."
"What I just gave you was a sequence potion."
The three were shocked, "What? That was a sequence potion?"
Wang Dezhong's face turned pale, "I heard that people who haven't awakened a sequence ability will explode and die if they take a sequence potion. Boss Qin, did we brothers do something that displeased you?"
Qin Siyang looked relaxed, "Explode and die? I think I've seen that rumor somewhere on a forum too. You've drunk it now. How do you feel?"
"It feels like nothing."
"So under actual testing, the rumor falls apart on its own. Giving you sequence potions is the method I'm using to let you awaken your sequences."
Wang Dezhong was even more stunned, "So it really was a rumor? Ordinary people can drink sequence potions? Then why would such a rumor spread?"
Wang Deyou said, "Azhong, use your brain! Didn't Boss Qin say this is his way of letting us awaken?"
"Second Brother… what do you mean?"
Wang Deyou's gaze turned sharp, "According to Boss Qin, ordinary people can awaken by drinking sequence potions! If everyone awakens a sequence ability, then it's the same as no one having one! Who would spread such rumors? Do we even need to think about it?"
"You mean… those rumors were spread by ordinary sequence ability users?"
Wang Defa said, "Second Brother, no need to be so upset about it. People waiting for the bus desperately try to squeeze on, and the ones already on the bus try hard to shut the door. That's human nature. Once you and I awaken sequence abilities, do you think we'll still save the whole world?"
"Forget all that messy stuff. Just do what Boss Qin asks well enough."
"Big Brother's right."
Qin Siyang stood to the side, silently listening to the three brothers talk.
He could not help but sigh. Three brothers who looked alike, born of the same mother, yet their personalities were completely different.
"Come with me."
Qin Siyang removed his ring, summoned the drill cabin, and sat in the driver's seat.
"Get in. We're heading out."
The three were startled by the sudden appearance of the drill cabin, but they gathered their courage and climbed inside.
Wang Defa consciously took the passenger seat.
"Sit tight."
Buzz!
With one press of the accelerator, the drill cabin burrowed underground, and everything around them turned pitch black.
The three Wang brothers sat in their seats, not knowing what had just happened. Three burly men with thick beards now looked like three little kittens with whiskers, curiously observing everything around them.
Qin Siyang explained, "This is a god-hunting tool that moves underground. It lets us bypass the inspection at the Safe Zone exit and reach outside. You three are still ordinary people, so there's no way you could walk out through the exit openly. That's why I'm using this method."
Wang Dezhong swallowed, "Boss Qin, this god-hunting tool of yours… it's not cheap, right? Does it cost over a hundred silver coins?"
Wang Deyou disagreed with his third brother, "Boss Qin gave us that courtyard for two hundred silver coins! This is a god-hunting tool! At least eight hundred… one gold coin!"
Wang Defa remained silent, but he felt Qin Siyang was even more unfathomable.
Qin Siyang smiled, "You're still ordinary people, so you don't know how remarkable this drill cabin is. Once you awaken and have some understanding of god-hunting tools, you'll know its true value."
Since Wang Defa and the others were still ordinary people, Qin Siyang did not park the drill cabin too far from the Safe Zone. However, he paid great attention to staying hidden, so he chose a spot very close to the outer wall but far from the exit.
There were fewer sequence ability users here as well.
Qin Siyang found a huge rock as cover and led the three Wang brothers out of the drill cabin.
To avoid being recognized, Qin Siyang even changed into a set of armor he had never used before.
It was the first time the three brothers had stepped outside the Safe Zone. They were both nervous and excited, even their breathing rhythm thrown off.
They had not walked far when they spotted a lone small god, a Blade-Tusk Mouse.
Qin Siyang pointed at it and asked, "You know about the Blade-Tusk Mouse?"
Wang Defa nodded, "These past few days, we did some homework on the forums and memorized common small gods. This Blade-Tusk Mouse is extremely fast and uses its pair of sharp tusks to attack. It can easily pierce through a person's chest."
"Not bad. The disc armor on this Blade-Tusk Mouse is only worth two points, and it's very easy to hunt. The three of you together, your goal is to fight it for one minute without getting injured. That will greatly help you awaken your sequences. I'll watch from the side. Any other questions?"
The three pulled out their short blades and shook their heads, "No."
"Go."
Wang Defa said to Wang Dezhong and Wang Deyou, "Ayou, Azhong, let's use the combat techniques we studied these past few days and let Boss Qin give us some pointers!"
"Alright!"
Wang Dezhong held his short blade against his forearm and charged straight at the Blade-Tusk Mouse.
Wang Defa and Wang Deyou circled to either side, attacking from the flanks.
Qin Siyang narrowed his eyes. He did not expect Wang Dezhong to take the lead.
Usually he seemed talkative and timid, but when it came to action, he did not back down.
The Blade-Tusk Mouse knew it was outmatched and instinctively tried to flee, but Wang Deyou cut off its retreat with a slash from behind.
In desperation, it lifted its head, raised its tusks, and rammed straight into Wang Deyou's blade.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, Wang Deyou's short blade was knocked aside, while the Blade-Tusk Mouse remained completely unharmed.
Wang Deyou felt his wrist go numb from the impact and frowned, "Such strength!"
At the same time, the Blade-Tusk Mouse's eyes lit up. It swept a slightly mocking glance over the three brothers, greedy drool dripping from its mouth.
'These three… are total rookies.'
