A live, powerful healer! Master, master! Get close to her! With a strong healer around, our safety rating skyrockets!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Fireball Art” sneered: Pfft, only the weak need support.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【After saying that, “Fireball Art” glanced at the other side of the skill bar: Hey, third brother, you agree, right?

Though puzzled, he didn’t dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Han Mengqing seemed so full of energy—she didn’t look like the type to harm anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a support in the Dragon Order class? Definitely a top-tier powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably just sisterly bickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another girl with long flowing hair walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her, Han Mengqing’s eyes lit up and she waved enthusiastically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ling Xuan sister!

SSS-rank strongest tank? Are you kidding?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Earth Shield Art” adored her: Wow, she looks so gentle—she must be a good person!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Mo didn’t think much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was SSS-rank and a rare Light-element—she was definitely strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan turned to Lin Mo and said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo classmate, you’re top-ranked, so your strength is unquestionable—but mages are fragile…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all classmates now—if you’re ever in danger during battle, just stand behind me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll do my best to protect you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo paused, looking at Chu Lingxuan’s earnest face—partly amused, partly touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl… was truly sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Chu classmate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo accepted gladly, not refusing her kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, having a powerful Light-element tank as a teammate was clearly no bad thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the girl had a kind heart—befriending her couldn’t hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan seemed to remember something, turning curiously toward the back of the carriage:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, what’s going on over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the once-boastful bald giant now huddled in a corner seat, wrapped in thick blankets, shivering violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A train medic was working frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several guards stood nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“C-cold… so cold… save… please save me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald giant’s lips were purple, teeth chattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk tsk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing turned away, smirking with delight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serves him right, ignore that guy, Lingxuan sister, let’s play cards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh… alright, it is pretty boring in the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan softly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao, without a moment’s thought, refused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not interested. You play, I’m reading.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she adjusted her posture and returned to her book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing was even happier, \"Perfect! Let’s play Landlord with the three of us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled out a deck of playing cards from her small bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it, Top Donor? A couple rounds?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, why not?
