For some reason, merely crossing the border line brought an instant surge of comfort. Indeed, there’s no place more comforting than one’s own country. After saying goodbye to the driver, Zhao Guang quickly arrived at the tourist area. After all, he was now within the domestic territory, where facilities were far superior to those abroad. He took the high-speed train home and first informed his older sister, who then came over. That’s right, his sister brought along her husband who couldn’t get a word in edgewise and just played cheerleader on the side. His sister alone unleashed such a barrage that even Zhao Guang felt a tingling on his scalp. He was lectured the entire day, and for this, Zhao Yan had abandoned all her work. If it weren’t for fear that a long absence would cause problems at the company, Zhao Yan probably could have gone on for three days and nights. “Really, it’s terrifying. My sister’s combat prowess is still so overwhelming; you’d think she was the one who trained,” Zhao Guang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, overwhelmed by the ordeal. But fortunately, at least he had what he came for. When Zhao Yan left, Wang Qu finally dared to speak up, “Guangzi, you really were reckless this time. How could you sneak off to Myanmar without a word? No wonder your sister was so worried.” “What’s up with my sister? She shouldn’t be like this usually. I just went for a trip and handled some matters by the way.” “You might not be aware, but some large groups from Myanmar returned a few days ago. As soon as they got back, they reported to the police and shared their experiences on video sites.” Zhao Guang was taken aback, then he remembered—those must be the people he had saved. He then opened the video site and saw that the content had gone viral in just a few days. The experiences of people from Myanmar were harrowing. There were also some released photos showing people in dire conditions, but when exactly were these taken? Zhao Guang didn’t even know when they’d managed to take these photos and videos. Things were so dangerous already, yet that didn’t stop their eagerness to record videos. Zhao Guang had to admit he admired their nerve. There was also some information that someone had snatched during the chaos. With these materials, they had seriously incriminating evidence. “You see how chaotic it is over there. They say some are urging the government to negotiate with Myanmar over this matter,” Wang Qu commented, although he didn’t seem optimistic. “You’re not hopeful about their negotiations?” “Of course not. The government there is practically useless, with local warlords running their own territories. As long as these people are around, no matter the outcome of the negotiations, it’ll be the same as having no result at all.” Wang Qu sighed, “Ah, what can we do about such a situation, aside from urging our citizens to stay vigilant?” Zhao Guang nodded, “That’s true. In the end, isn’t it because they wanted to get rich that they ended up in such places? Who can they blame? Though, in the future, they’ll probably think twice before going.” “Alright, be more careful next time and consider your sister’s feelings. Haven’t we asked you to call home every day? But aside from the second day, you didn’t call at all, did you?” Zhao Guang had an epiphany; so that was where he went wrong, no wonder his sister was so furious. To talk all day long is no easy feat; it could leave one parched and tongue-tied. “Well, you should go back and reassure my sister that there won’t be any more issues,” Zhao Guang diplomatically replied. Could he say that he might just cause even bigger uproars in the future? What would become of him then? After sending Wang Qu off, Zhao Guang let out a long sigh of relief. “Thank goodness, my sister doesn’t know I was part of that tour group.” Zhao Guang saw a video of a tour group online. It mentioned that everyone from the group had returned, except for one person who ran away—his fate unknown. Most comments speculated that the missing person had been kidnapped. If his sister had known that he was part of that tour group, he couldn’t imagine how worried she would have been. He resolved to be more cautious next time. If he went out again, he would definitely not let his sister find out about his whereabouts—no matter what. Not going? That would be a joke. Without going out, where would he find his painkillers? He’ll just focus on resting for the next few days, settling his mind. If he continued in a state of constant tension, Zhao Guang worried he might actually become mentally unstable. So, Zhao Guang spent his days studying and cultivating. With the high quality of the Holy Dragon Fighting Energy, his cultivation progressed rapidly, and his Combat Energy grew swiftly with the help of ample Holy Water. Perhaps soon, he would reach the level of an Intermediate Warrior. Then, one day, Zhang Wu called. “Zhao Guang, bro, your armor is ready. Come and have a look,” he said. “It’s finished already? That’s great, I’ll be right there. By the way, do you have any titanium alloy longsword? I need one.” “Oh, I have plenty of those here. How could I run out of weapons? You can pick one out yourself when you come.” Now intrigued, Zhao Guang remembered being shot at and feeling the firearms he counterattacked with didn’t complement his abilities, as they didn’t match his strength. At that moment, Zhao Guang even thought that if he had had a sword in hand, he might have performed better. Even though he hadn’t practiced swordsmanship much, he just had that feeling. He believed his instincts weren’t wrong. After contemplating over the past few days, he felt increasingly confident that with a sword his offensive capabilities would definitely be stronger. It seems, it’s time to seriously practice with traditional weapons. The reason traditional weapons were superseded by firearms wasn’t that the former were ineffective, but rather because firearms were more convenient. However, as his strength improved, traditional weapons wouldn’t necessarily be at a disadvantage to firearms, and they might even be better. In any case, it was worth getting a sword to practice with; even if he was wrong, there was no harm done. Having adjusted over the past few days, Zhao Guang felt his mindset stabilize. As an adult who had seen his share of troubles, with a well-formed set of values, he wasn’t easily shaken. When he arrived at the material factory, Zhao Guang laid eyes on an even more magnificent piece of armor. “This armor... Wearing it to battle would make one a target,” he remarked. “On ancient battlefields maybe, but it really does look impressive,” Zhang Wu replied.
