Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ (4)

"Stop complaining, the high ground is about to be breached."

Candy looked and indeed it was true. The next moment, Candy immediately changed her tune and said, "Sis, I take back what I said earlier, you really are useful."

Zhou Yaling gave a smug smile, "Why else do I love playing as Yao? It’s because I have plenty of time to observe the mini-map."

For a moment, Candy, who was defending the high ground tower, was speechless and even felt that her sister made some sense.

All night long, Candy played six games with her sister, resulting in only two stars gained.

Failure, absolute failure.

"Why did you log out?"

Lying on the bed, Candy directly shut off her phone and placed it on the bedside table, shooting her sister a sidelong glance ─━_─━✧.

"Sis, have you even checked the time? It’s already early morning."

"Even though Guoguo loves to sleep in, she doesn’t want to get scolded for nothing."

"If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, how would your brother find out?"

Candy gave a fake smile, "Sis, guess why I turned off my phone."

After speaking, Candy took a glance at the smartwatch on her wrist.

As if feeling it wasn’t reminder enough, Candy simply snuggled into her blanket, saying calmly, "Zero, I want to sleep."

The next second, the lights in the room gradually dimmed, eventually plunging into darkness.

In the darkness, only the glow of Zhou Yaling’s phone screen illuminated her dumbfounded face.

If Zhou Yaling still couldn’t react at this point, that would really be quite silly.

Looking at Candy, who had already closed her eyes to sleep, Zhou Yaling’s mouth twitched.

Turns out that little rascal Zero was eavesdropping.

No wonder Candy worried about getting scolded.

When the little one went to bed, all her brother had to do was ask Zero.

Outside was pitch black, with only two lights in each villa’s yard dispelling the darkness.

On the roof of the villa, Hawkeye couldn’t help but sneeze three times in a row.

Rubbing his nose, Hawkeye zipped up his jacket tighter.

"Damn, it’s really chilly at night."

"Want me to send you a coat?" Hearing the captain’s voice from the earpiece, Hawkeye grinned.

"That would be great, it’s really cold tonight."

"I’ll have Xiaofeixia bring it to you."

"Thanks, Captain, I’ll buy you a drink later."

But there was no more sound from the earpiece.

Hawkeye chuckled; there’s no way they’d actually drink. Ever since taking on the protection task, none of the fifteen had dared to touch a drop of alcohol.

For fear that drinking might mess things up.

This is not fear-mongering; sometimes, it’s just that coincidental, after drinking, an unexpected event might occur.

It’s like a curse.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from afar, and Hawkeye reflexively stretched out his hand to catch the tossed item.

"Thanks, girl."

When Hawkeye turned around, no one was behind him anymore.

"Wow, she runs fast."

All night, nothing happened.

Yet the more this was the case, the more Wild Wolf and others dared not relax their vigilance every night.

No one believed that the Western countries would give up on Candy Technology’s technology just because they failed twice.

Not having any movements for so long, they might be plotting something big.

In the morning, Mo Jingchun started his usual day with a morning run.

Feiyan and the others watching him run couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for the boss.

From a late-stage laziness patient to someone who can persist in morning runs even on Saturdays, this willpower is indeed commendable.

Wild Wolf shoved a whole tea egg in his mouth, chewed for a while, and thought while watching the boss’s steps.

While Feiyan and the others joked around, Wild Wolf suddenly spoke:

"Starting tomorrow, except for the snipers and observers on duty, everyone should run with the boss."

"Running with more people makes it easier to stick with it."

Over half an hour later, Mo Jingchun was already dripping with sweat.

Mo Jingchun glanced at Xiaofeixia, who was deliberately staying a step behind him, and Zero hadn’t shown any sign of telling him to stop.

Gritting his teeth, Mo Jingchun didn’t stop as he passed the door but resolutely kept running forward.

Sweat dripped down, yet Mo Jingchun felt more comfortable the longer he ran.

It felt like every pore in his body was breathing.

No! It wasn’t just a feeling! Indeed, every pore in his body was breathing.

The sensation was even more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring.

Mo Jingchun couldn’t remember how many laps he’d run; he only had one thought in mind, that as long as Zero didn’t call stop, he would keep running.

Running, Mo Jingchun began to feel his thighs getting sore and heavy.

"Boss, you can stop now."

Thank goodness, after waiting so long, he finally heard those words.

Stopping his run, Mo Jingchun began to walk back slowly.

The clothes he changed into just yesterday were already soaked through.

Stuck to his body, it was rather uncomfortable.

Seeing the boss walk into the villa, Xiaofeixia wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at the captain:

"Captain, the boss has something special."

"Ordinary morning joggers can’t achieve such results."

Standing still, pondering over the matter, Wild Wolf paused then calmly said:

"If you observe carefully, you’ll notice the boss’s running posture is very standard, and more importantly, the breathing rhythm."

"It’s most likely AI-assisted synchronization that creates this effect we see."

"Tomorrow, we can try following the boss’s breathing rhythm to see for ourselves."

"However, I doubt that rhythm suits us, more like it’s a custom-tailored breathing rhythm for the boss."

Xiaofeixia blinked, "Is it that intense?"

"An AI-enhanced supercomputer can yield many unexpected results."

The next day, Wild Wolf and others ran with Mo Jingchun, tried the same rhythm, and ended up exhausted.

Mo Jingchun just looked surprised, seeing everyone running along but said nothing.

That evening, after dinner, Zhou Yaling called to have the table moved to the courtyard.

Inside, Candy and Mo Jingchun were watching TV.

With fruit platters, drinks, and several boxes of mooncakes set up, Zhou Yaling clapped her hands in satisfaction at her work.

"Candy, call your brother out to enjoy the moon."

"Tonight’s moon is big and round~"

On the sofa, Candy nudged her brother’s arm.

"Brother, sis is calling us out to eat mooncakes."

Mo Jingchun nodded, "Go grab an extra coat, we’re going out to eat mooncakes."

"Alright!"

Happily, Candy bounced off the sofa.

This almost scared Bun, lying on the sofa, half to death.

If not for Mo Jingchun holding him with one hand, Bun might have jumped in fright.

Under the moonlight, everyone ate mooncakes while looking up at the bright moon, lost in thought.

Only Candy was genuinely savoring the mooncake.

Taking a bite of mooncake, then a sip of drink, life couldn’t get any better.
