Lu Qi’s speech was very much in line with Laura’s wishes.

Personally exploring the unknown world has been her dream since she was a child, and it is also the reason why she devoted herself to archeology.

Living in the legendary Lost Kingdom, instead of learning everything about this island from an enemy, she prefers to uncover the mystery of this island herself...

As for Matthias, no matter what the reason was for him to kidnap his best friend Samantha, Laura only knows one thing, that is, Matthias must die!

"Well, now that we have found the legendary lost kingdom, we have to find out more about it... But besides that, I have one more thing that I am very curious about..."

"Huh? What is it?"

"It's you!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but pause, looked back, and looked at Laura with slight confusion.

"You were involved in a club in HK, served in the army, and not long ago you were washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant. Your life experience is too rich, right?"

"Also, judging from your skills and knowledge, you are completely qualified for other jobs with higher salaries. But you are willing to help cook in the kitchen of a restaurant and earn a small salary."

After a pause, Laura leaned forward suddenly, closed the distance between them, stared closely into Lu Qi’s eyes, and said meaningfully:

"I'm very curious about how many secrets you have hidden in your body..."

Facing the curious Laura, Lu Qi just stretched out a finger, tapped her forehead, and pushed her gently.

"Hey, why are you pushing me?"

Looking at the confused Laura, Lu Qi rolled his eyes, deliberately pretended to be disgusted, and said: "Don't get so close, I don't like women."

Hearing this, Laura raised her eyebrows, looked Lu Qi up and down with a look of surprise, and asked slightly hesitantly:

"Are you serious?!"

"Fake."

After saying that, Lu Qi turned around and continued walking forward.

After being stunned for a while, Laura realized that this was a joke.

She curled her lips and blurted out subconsciously:

"Fuck you! Are you kidding me?!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to know if I had any other secrets? I just told you one."

"Tch, I don't believe it..."

"Haha, you're not too stupid..."

After careful planning, Laura and Lu Qi had only known each other for less than two months.

Even though they spent a month together on the boat without seeing each other, their relationship still remained at the level of ordinary friends.

However, in times of crisis, it is easier to deepen the bonds and feelings between each other.

Obviously, after experiencing the shipwreck together and everything on the island, in Laura's eyes, Lu Qi is already a being who can joke freely...

...

While continuing to walk along the stone steps, Lu Qi multitasked, opened the [System], and began to check his skill list:

[Skills: Language Translation lv5, Breathing Blood Recovery lv3, Eagle Vision lv3, Climbing Skills lv2, Flying Knife Throwing lv2, Crossbow Mastery lv1]

Although it has only been three short months since he came to the world of "Tomb Raider", he has not slacked off at all.

Whether before or after triggering the [World Quest], he is always looking for ways to improve his combat effectiveness.

After his unremitting efforts, [Flying Knife Throwing] was upgraded from lv1 to lv2, and he also initially mastered the operation of the crossbow, and gained a new skill: [Crossbow Mastery lv1]

As for other frozen skills, they are still gray and unusable.

During this period, Lu Qi very keenly discovered a noteworthy detail.

As the power that one relies on for survival, the system has frozen half of the skills on the skill list. However, the so-called freezing is not so absolute!

Different skills have different degrees of freezing.

For example, [Bullet Time lv4], a supernatural skill that cannot be acquired through normal learning, is really frozen when it is frozen. All memories about how to use the skill are like being erased from the brain by an invisible hand.

No matter how hard Lu Qi racked his brains, he couldn't get himself into the magical bullet time.

However, [Firearm Mastery lv4], a skill learned through long-term training, is a little different.

Although the memory related to firearms has been erased, the muscle memory and feeling about firearms are still there!

The moment he came into contact with firearms, he understood that as long as he was familiar with the structure of firearms, he could still perform to his normal level to a certain extent.

Just like when he stitched up Laura's wound before, even though his [Battlefield Medic Level 2] skill was frozen, he was still able to rely on the memory and feel he had practiced in the past to retrieve some basic medical skills.

Maybe the so-called freeze is just a small loophole in the system?

Or is this a deliberate move by the system to make him understand that what he has learned through personal experience cannot be taken away?

Or is this all a conspiracy deliberately set up by the black shadow on the screen? A game?

At this moment, is he or she just outside this world, quietly monitoring his every move just like God looks at every human being?

Lu Qi didn't know about this...

Just as his thoughts were racing, Laura's shout brought Lu Qi back to reality.

"Lu Qi, look!"

Looking around, I saw a small shrine dedicated to the gods on the left side of the road.

The god surrounded by many candles is a kind-faced woman wearing a crown.

"It's Himihu!"

"Look at those bowls and candles. They are not just talking about it, but they have been worshiping Himihu. But why?"

"Why are they so obsessed with an ancient queen who has been dead for thousands of years? There must be something weird..."

Looking at Laura who was deep in thought, Lu Qi just stood aside quietly, allowing Laura to think and speculate as much as she wanted.

The reason why Laura became a great archaeological (tomb) scholar (teacher) is not only her strong curiosity, excellent archaeological knowledge, and extraordinary physical fitness, but also her keen intuition.

The key is to take risks and come to your doorstep.

This is why Lu Qi made up his mind from the beginning to get close to Laura.

Laura is the key to whether he can complete the [World Mission]!

After thinking for a while, Laura raised her head reluctantly and complained to Lu Qi:

"There is still too little information, I need more clues..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qi frowned suddenly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Laura's mouth, interrupting her words.

Facing the confusion in Laura's eyes, Lu Qi just raised his index finger, put it on his mouth, made a silencing gesture to her, and then whispered:
Chapter completed!
