It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1368 A Drunken Fit

Although they were very happy seeing Luo Lang come back, they were still more worried about Boss.

“Of course I have a reason for coming back,” Luo Lang said in an annoyed tone. “Quick, prepare some food for me and water. I’m dying from hunger and thirst.”

Luo Lang went to the neutral nation that was the closest to the Federation on the 7th Bugle Call. 7th Bugle Call was a big target which made it inconvenient for it to go into the Federation. Thus, Luo Lang let those on 7th Bugle Call start purchasing supplies. Luckily they brought some native products from the Lawless Lands with them to sell, so they could acquire some money that way. It was just that selling and buying would take a lot of time. However, that wasn’t a problem. According to Ling Lan’s plan, the 7th Bugle Call was originally taking on the role of drawing the attention of the 13 Lords to the neutral nation. Luo Lang on the other hand would use that opportunity to sneak into the Federation, make contact with Qi Long and let Qi Long prepare the supplies. Afterwards, they would take the Jialan Ship and transport it to the Lawless Lands.

All in all, the 7th Bugle Call was just bait to make the 13 Lords not know the real powers behind Ling Lan. They could think it was the Soul Society or the mercenary world. The more unsure they were, the safer Ling Lan was.

In order to not expose himself and to save time, he had his domain activated all the way here. Other than when he was incredibly hungry, he didn’t waste any time on any other miscellaneous matters.

Seeing Luo Lang’s disheveled look, Luo Chao immediately prepared food and drinks for her older brother.

Luo Lang gulped down a large cup of water, and only after he felt he was alright, he spoke, “Boss has an assignment for all of you.”

After hearing Luo Lang’s words, everyone stood on attention with their backs straight. It was as though it was no longer Luo Lang standing before them, but rather Boss Ling Lan who they admired and respected.

“Boss needs supplies. This is the list.” Luo Lang took out a list of items and handed it to Han Jijyun, who had already arrived.

Han Jijyun opened it up and took a look. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes for a moment. Although there were some restricted military supplies in the list, most of it was basic supplies for living needs. Some were even very common.

‘Could Boss be somewhere where these resources are limited?’ Han Jijyun looked through the list of items and accurately determined the situation Ling Lan was in.

“Time is of the essence. We came here as fast as we could. Even with the Destruction Devil, it still took us 31 days, and plus the fact that I also used up four more days to get here. In total, we used up 35 days. Now there’s a problem. This shipment of supplies must reach Boss within 25 days,” Luo Lang said in a serious tone.

“How is that possible?” After hearing the time restraint, Han Jijyun’s expression changed slightly. “We still need to gather the supplies. The fastest we can do that is three days, then we would only have 21 days on the road… No starship can fill in the difference of 10 days.” Destruction Devils were already the fastest starships in the Federation. Han Jijyun couldn’t think of any other starship that could be faster than a Destruction Devil. They required a starship that had triple the speed of a Destruction Devil to even barely stay within the time limit. This was definitely not a mission they could complete.

“You have to make it possible even if it’s impossible,” Luo Lang’s expression was not good. “Otherwise, Boss will be in danger in the Lawless Lands.”

“What happened?” Everyone there all had surprised expressions on their faces.

“Let’s stop asking. Zhong-qing, Jijyun, Jinghong and Chaoyang, you four go and prepare the supplies. The quicker the better.” Qi Long was the most calm out of everyone. He knew that it was a race against time. Thus, he ordered those four to go do what they needed to do. As for the questions, they could save them for when they finished gathering the supplies.

Qi Long’s words calmed everyone down. Soon, Han Jijyun, Lin Zhong-qing, Li Jinghong and He Chaoyang all rushed to different warehouses and began to go through the supplies the base already had. They knew very well that if the supplies could be gathered quicker, then they would have more of a chance of staying within the given time limit.

After seeing everyone beginning to gather supplies, Luo Lang breathed a sigh of relief. After relieving his concerns, he was able to focus on the bowl of rice in front of him as he ate in a crazed manner.

After sensing his digestive system no longer protesting that it needed food, Luo Lang then raised his head to look at Luo Chao, “Little sis, Boss said you and Jialan will be responsible for the shipment this time.”

Qi Long’s eyes brightened. How could he forget about Jialan Ship?

If other Destruction Devils couldn’t complete this task, Jialan combined with Luo Chao might be able to do it.

However, could Luo Chao endure the long and arduous journey?

Combining with Jialan used much of her limited amount of energy. With Luo Chao’s current level of Qi-Jin, no one knew how long she could do it for.

Luo Chao’s eyes shined brightly. She enthusiastically clenched her fists and nodded with force. “Understood. I will definitely complete the mission.”

Luo Chao can feel the trust Boss had in her because Boss gave her a mission that put her life in her hands. It was just like in the past when Boss chose to expose her real gender to her and Han Xuya without any hesitation.

“Bang!” An angry fist smashed into the table in front of Luo Lang.

Luo Lang immediately reached out with his hands, creating multiple afterimages in the process. They all safely grabbed the plates and bowl that are flying up in the air, not letting even one bit of the food get spilled.

“I also want to go,” Han Xuya said angrily.

Luo Lang calmly put down the food plates and bowls and replied, “I didn’t say you aren’t going.”

“I want to go. I have to go… Ugh? I can go?” Han Xuya thought Luo Lang would refuse so she shouted reflexively.

“Boss knew that you and Luo Chao wouldn’t leave each other. If Luo Chao goes and you aren’t allowed to go, the world will be turned upside down. You follow Luo Chao to the Lawless Lands and turning that place upside down would be better than leaving you here and give Qi Long a headache,” Luo Lang rolled his eyes.

Even though Boss didn’t come back, he still knew everyone’s reactions. He had told Luo Lang how to handle every one of them before he came here.

“Hahaha, the person who knows me best is still Boss.” Han Xuya laughed out loud with her head towards the sky.

“Alright, go, just don’t cause trouble for Boss,” said Qi Long worriedly.

Han Xuya ruthlessly glared at him with a look of dissatisfaction. “When did I cause trouble?”

“Did you not? A few days ago, you broke the rules to drink alcohol, and you actually got drunk. You were even in a drunken fit. That was fine, but you also shamelessly put your hands everywhere.” After Qi Long remembered this part, his expression was somewhat annoyed.

“Hey, yes, I broke the rules. Yes, I got drunk. But who the f*ck said I got into a fit and put my hands everywhere? Who was I touching with my hands?” After hearing Qi Long’s words, Han Xuya exploded with anger. In her memories, she slept like an angel. The next day when she woke up, she was wearing her pajamas and her uniform was folded near the front of her bed frame. This was enough to prove that she got drunk and went directly to sleep. She even remembered to change into her pajamas and fold her military uniform.

“You put your hands on…” Qi Long suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking. Then, he snorted coldly, “All in all, you are not allowed to drink alcohol while you are there, in case you cause Boss any trouble.”
