After Zhao Zhu's aunt's birthday, his cousin Xia Yuhuan fell ill and never recovered. She even fell into a coma and lost consciousness at one point. She was sent to the best hospital in SH City, but they couldn't find the exact cause of her illness. In the end, she had to be sent abroad for recuperation.

  Zhao Zhu and Xia Yuhuan's marriage plans also came to an abrupt end, with neither set of parents showing any intention of continuing the arrangement.

  Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi took a plane back to SZ City on the third day of Xiao Yi's birthday. The wasp was sold for 3,000 points, Zhao Zhu took 1,500, and the remaining 1,500 were given to Zhu Jianping. Xiong Zhiqi gave him the blood jade as previously agreed, and did not gain any benefits from the wasp.

  It was a week after Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi returned, one day at noon, when they were eating lunch at the dinner table. The food was ordered from outside the hotel for delivery, all very exquisite. As they ate, Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi suddenly discovered that there was an extra shadow on the sofa opposite them. Zhu Jianping, who had completed his task, had returned, just as sudden and silent as when he left before.

  Zhu Jianping seemed to have become numb to the thrill of escaping from death in the task world, and he simply sat on the couch for less than a minute before walking over to the dinner table and sitting down silently.

  I'm hungry.

  Xiong Zhiqi served him a bowl of rice and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

  Three people didn't speak, and they quietly finished the meal. After dinner, Zhu Jianping went back to his room to rest, while Xiong Zhiqi took the blood jade to the rooftop of the apartment building to absorb its power under the sunlight. Zhao Zhu, on the other hand, continued to practice his handprint, which had already shown initial results. When he performed the handprint, he could clearly feel the energy in his mind being drawn out and condensed into his hands, only to be released with a burst of energy when the handprint was completed.

  This is an energy conversion, it's a very wonderful feeling.

  Such a life continued for another week, during which Zhu Jianping slept at home for a day and then took Xiong Zhiqi out to have fun for two days. After that, he went back to school, carrying his backpack in and out every day. Of course, Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi were well aware of what he was really doing at school, which was definitely not studying hard and striving upwards every day.

  The color of the blood jade in Xiong Zhiqi's hand had faded a lot, meaning that most of the energy in the blood jade had been absorbed into his hands.

  A peaceful weekend, Zhao Zhu finished his handprint and some spiritual power exercises taught by Zhu Jianping, took a shower, wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked to the living room, poured himself a glass of juice, sat down on the sofa, and was about to pick up the remote control to turn on the TV when he suddenly felt a wave of panic.

  The whole person felt a huge coolness, this feeling, he had experienced it before, lasted for about half a minute, after the discomfort dissipated, Zhao Zhu picked up his phone from the tea table next to the sofa, opened the group, entered the group announcement, and indeed, in the next task world experience, there was his own name, and he was also @ by the group owner in the announcement.

  He took another close look at the name of this new task world and gritted his teeth before throwing his phone out directly.

  ……

  In the afternoon, Xiong Zhiqi came back from outside. He was holding a mobile phone box in his hand, and inside it was a new mobile phone.

  "Haha, Zhao Ge, I saw the new group announcement and found your name in it. Then I tried to call you but couldn't get through, so I guessed that you must have been so angry that you smashed your phone. So, I specially bought a new one for you on my way back. Here, put your SIM card in."

  Zhao Zhu took out the phone box, picked up the phone and started changing cards.

  At this time, Zhu Jianping also "got off school" and came back. As soon as he entered the door, he walked directly to Zhao Zhu's face, stretched out his hand, patted Zhao Zhu's shoulder, and said: "Zhao Dashi, don't be discouraged, don't lose heart, you still have nearly two thousand points that haven't been used yet. At this time, it's completely possible to make a change."

  Actually, the reason for all this is that Zhao Zhu's next task world is called "Jurassic", a terrifying web novel world with a name like that must be very dangerous and cruel, with various ferocious and gigantic dinosaurs inside. However... it has nothing to do with ghosts and monsters. And the things Zhao Zhu has collected recently and the skills he has been practicing are all for dealing with ghosts and monsters. Is he supposed to use hand seals and talismans on a Tyrannosaurus Rex? Using that compass to trap a ghost is no problem, but can it trap a Velociraptor or a Pterodactyl?

  "Whatever, I'll just go find a shooting club to practice my marksmanship." Things had come to this point, and Zhao Zhu could only choose to face it head-on. He had a gun by his side, and his marksmanship was actually not bad, but now was the time when he needed to sharpen his skills the most.

  "I'll lend you a G-level plot, and you can match it with your 1,000-point voucher to exchange for an Intention Force skill based on the Spiritual Physique. This should allow you to run faster when being chased by the Tyrant Dragon..."

  Zhu Jianping said as he opened his mobile QQ and privately messaged the group owner YY.

  Zhao Zhu didn't stop or show courtesy, this wasn't the time to be polite. The world of "Jurassic" may not have been as eerie as some horror web novels, but it was even more bloody and brutal. Those bloodthirsty dinosaurs wouldn't reason with you, they would charge over without hesitation and tear you apart alive!

  "Brother, just get through it and you'll be fine. Most newbies can't pass the third task world, it's a hurdle, but once you get past it, you can call yourself a veteran. In the group, even if you fart, someone will listen, haha, I believe in you. Alright, I still have to go to evening self-study tonight, what about dinner? Dead fatty, don't tell me you didn't order takeout!"

  Xiong Zhiqi scratched his head and said: "I was so busy buying a mobile phone for Zhao Ge that I forgot to order food."

  "I haven't eaten for several days... how can I have the energy to attend late self-study sessions?!"

  ……

  Like last time, Zhao Zhu prepared a backpack again, but this time there were no talismans or things to deal with ghosts and monsters inside. Instead, it was filled with military equipment, making him look like he was going camping. He even brought two handguns, an imitation rifle, and various tear gas canisters. Zhao Zhu wasn't sure how many items he could bring into the task world; the group leader would remove some of them from his body.

  However, it's better to bring more first, and if the group owner picks and chooses to remove things, at least some will be left.

  Zhu Jianping and Xiong Zhiqi sat opposite Zhao Zhu, waiting for him to leave and enter the task world. Every time he entered the task world could be a farewell, so they had to see him off.

  Finally, the time arrived, Zhao Zhu felt his vision blurred for a moment before clearing up again. He was stunned to find himself still sitting on the couch in Xiong Zhiqi's home. Then he took off his backpack and found that everything inside, including guns and other equipment, was intact, nothing was missing.

  "What's going on?"

  Zhao Zhu's mind was filled with a huge question mark. The scene hadn't changed, the equipment wasn't missing, but... where were the dinosaurs? And what about Zhu Jianping and Xiong Zhiqi's people? They were nowhere to be seen either?

  This is a city, this is SZ City, are you saying that this time it's like Godzilla landing on the coast?

  Just as Zhao Zhu was confused, the group owner's prompt tone sounded in his mind:

  "Branch Mission 1: Arrive at the Jurassic Theme Park within 4 hours. Mission accomplished, earn 500 points coupon. Mission failed, deduct 1000 points coupon. If points are insufficient, eliminate!"

  "Side quest?"

  Zhao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then his gaze fell on the table in front of him. There was a passport and an airplane ticket. The destination of the plane ticket was Nabral Island, where the dinosaur base was built in "Jurassic Park".

  "I've actually already entered the task world."

  Zhao Zhu thought for a moment and directly threw the entire backpack behind him to one side. The reason was simple: how could he get through security checks at the airport with all this stuff?

  And it's obvious that in the real world, SZ city definitely doesn't have direct flights to a place like this, and even if you want to use connections to smuggle some contraband, there's probably no way to do it. Who knows, you might even end up getting caught, the group owner's move is really swift and decisive.
