Mina handed the ring to Nazi, saying, "You go to Tiger Tuan'er and Rice Noodles, and I'll check the situation here."
"Okay, but be careful," Nazi replied, taking the two rings.
Mina smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I've got charm, and I'm a six-star combat power."
Ruoruo chimed in, "Mina's combat power ranks fourth in the team. She'll be fine."
Mina gestured for them to go ahead. Nazi, Ruoruo, and Juzi left together, while Mina walked alone toward Ni Shuang's dormitory.
"Knock, knock, knock," Ruoruo knocked on the door.
Hu Tuan'er opened the door, and a bright smile instantly illuminated her face upon seeing them.
Nazi handed one of the rings to Hu Tuan'er. "This is from Yuto Saito. Pack your things immediately and come with us."
Excitement bubbled up inside Hu Tuan'er as she jumped up. "That's amazing!"
Nazi then turned to Rice Noodles, offering her the second ring. "Rice Noodles, you should also get ready."
Rice Noodles beamed with happiness. "Alright! Tuan'er, we can finally get close to our hero!"
"Hahaha!" Hu Tuan'er chuckled sweetly. "Yeah, being around them makes me feel so safe."
Earlier, Hu Tuan'er and Rice Noodles had been nervously discussing their chances of passing the test. They felt their only asset was their beauty, which didn't seem like much of an advantage.
Nazi asked, "What about Sister Zhou and the others?"
Hu Tuan'er replied, "When I came back, they were just finishing their meal and went back to their dormitory."
Juzi kindly reminded them, "You should change out of your pajamas. It's not appropriate."
Ruoruo nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's the first time we'll meet Yuto Saito. You should dress well—he likes beautiful women."
"Yuto Saito likes beautiful women?"
This was crucial information! No wonder they passed the test; appearance must have been a bonus point!
Hu Tuan'er's delicate face lit up with a sweet smile at this revelation.
Nazi noticed the tableware and rice cooker on the table and swiftly put them into her storage space. With more people arriving on the floating island, nothing could be wasted.
Rice Noodles and Hu Tuan'er each picked out beautiful outfits and headed to the bathroom to change.
Once they were ready, Ruoruo praised, "Wow, Hu Tuan'er, your legs look amazing!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Hu Tuan'er replied, her happiness radiating.
Juzi added, "Can't believe it—you're so predictable!"
Rice Noodles smiled, asking, "Is this outfit suitable?"
"Hmm, it looks perfect!" Ruoruo confirmed with a nod.
Nazi instructed, "Put all your clothes in the ring. Take everything you need for living over there in the future."
Curious, Rice Noodles asked, "Is the house over there big?"
Nazi assured her, "It's definitely better than this place."
Ruoruo smiled, adding, "It's beyond your imagination. You'll understand when you get there."
Juzi proudly declared, "Think of our place as a paradise, complete with hot springs."
Hu Tuan'er gasped, "A hot spring? Is it a resort?"
Ruoruo teased, "It's better than a resort. Just wait and see!"
Rice Noodles was ecstatic. "I can't wait! Tuan'er, we're safe!"
"Mmmm." Hu Tuan'er felt joy at the thought of living with her sweetheart in the future.
Rice Noodles asked, "Yuto Saito is the boss there, and Ni Shuang is his girlfriend, right?"
Ruoruo corrected her, "No, Sister Ni Shuang isn't Yuto Saito's girlfriend."
"Ah?" Both Rice Noodles and Hu Tuan'er were stunned.
Were the rumors wrong? Everyone at school thought Yuto Saito and Ni Shuang were an item, yet Ruoruo said no?
Ruoruo explained, "Yuto Saito only has one girlfriend, Yun Yun, who is exceptionally beautiful. In fact, she's the most beautiful among us."
Juzi added, "Sister Yun Yun is not just beautiful; she's gentle and the strongest apart from Yuto Saito."
Hu Tuan'er felt a pang of envy. "Sister Yun Yun sounds incredible. I thought Na Zi was the strongest after Yuto Saito."
"Hahaha!" Nazi chuckled. "Tuan'er, you're too kind. I'm at the bottom of the team; I'm just the tail end of the crane."
Ruoruo added, "Well, I'm at the end too. Juzi and Mina are stronger. Mina's combat power ranks fourth, and Juzi is fifth."
Tiger Tuan'er mused, "So Yuto Saito must be first, right? And the second is Sister Yun Yun. Ni Shuang should be third?"
Ruoruo nodded. "Yes, Sister Shuang's combat power isn't as strong as Mina's, but in a real fight, Mina wouldn't beat her."
Rice Noodles sighed. "Alas, Tuan'er and I are just ordinary people. We're lucky you're willing to take us in."
Hu Tuan'er nodded in agreement. "Yes."
Juzi comforted them. "Don't feel that way; there are two ordinary people in our team too. They don't have any awakened talents, but they're still powerful. Do you know the actress Yu Qi?"
Hu Tuan'er responded, "I know her! The one who played Zhao Min. Is she with you?"
Juzi confirmed, "Yes, Yu Qi is part of our team. She was bullied by three gangsters in the capital, but Brother Yuto Saito saved her."
Hu Tuan'er praised inwardly, "Impressive! Just as I expected from the man I like."
Rice Noodles exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my gosh, even Yu Qi is on the team. Yuto Saito's strength is beyond my imagination!"
Ruoruo raised her chin, full of pride. "There's so much more you don't know. When you join the team, you'll see how incredible it really is."
Hu Tuan'er urged Rice Noodles, "Hurry and finish packing, and don't forget my clothes!"
Rice Noodles replied, "Oh, right! I'll grab those shower gels and shampoos too. We can't waste anything!"
Tiger Tuan'er offered, "I'll help gather them."
Nazi told Rice Noodles, "Xianxian, don't worry about collecting everything individually. Just put the wardrobe directly into the ring."
Rice Noodles blinked, cutely confused. "Huh? Can it really work like that?"
...
Flowers...
Nazi smiled. "Of course! Otherwise, how many clothes would you have to gather one by one?"
This was Rice Noodles' first time using a storage ring, and she was still figuring it out. She touched the wardrobe, and to her surprise, it all fit inside.
"Wow! This ring is amazing! I love it!" Rice Noodles exclaimed, her joy contagious.
Ruoruo laughed. "There's so much more you'll discover. Just keep learning. We're still learning too!"
"Definitely! Please teach me more, sisters," Rice Noodles replied humbly.
Ruoruo beamed at the compliment, delighted to finally be seen as an older sister instead of the youngest.
Meanwhile, Mina entered Ni Shuang's dormitory, finding Pan Qiao and Beth facing each other.
Two minutes earlier, Beth had entered the dormitory, asking, "Excuse me, is this Ni Shuang's dormitory?"
Pan Qiao, just finished showering, glanced in the mirror and saw the beautiful foreign girl at the door.
"Yes, she's not here," Pan Qiao replied.
Beth raised her right hand in a silent gesture, signaling for quiet.
Pan Qiao eyed her suspiciously.
Beth pulled out her phone, having prepared a message in advance.
Pan Qiao leaned closer, her curiosity piqued as she read the words on the screen.
"Attention! I have been threatened, and I'm being eavesdropped on. Please don't speak."
"There are two snipers planning to kill Yuto Saito and Ni Shuang. They kidnapped my sister and are forcing me to bring Ni Shuang out, intending to kill her. Please inform Yuto Saito and Ni Shuang quickly. The snipers are currently positioned over the teaching building. Thank you!"
Stunned, Pan Qiao absorbed the information.
She realized someone was trying to kill Yuto Saito and Ni Shuang. After the previous incident with the face-changing man and five demon monkeys, Pan Qiao had a hunch about who was behind it.
This was a perfect opportunity for her and Ni Shuang to mend their differences.
Pan Qiao quickly sent a message to Ni Shuang to warn her, hoping to get in her good graces.
Just as she sent the message, Mina entered the dormitory.
The atmosphere thickened with unspoken tension as Pan Qiao and Beth fell silent.
Mina, cautious, opted not to speak.
Beth handed her the phone.
Mina read the message, her beautiful eyes widening with shock.
Someone wanted to kill Yuto Saito and Ni Shuang? She couldn't let that happen!
Mina gestured an "OK" to Beth, signaling her understanding.
She sensed the urgency in Beth's message, knowing the girl was under threat and worried for her sister
