After departing from the mall, Zhou Lei said goodbye to both Ma Xiaoli and Lin Hanying as he went a different direction.

The two stared at each other before they shook each other's hand - a tacit understanding between girls. They walked away in opposite directions, waiting for tomorrow to come.

The fight would soon begin...

Lin Guiying came back to the mall and made sure that Ma Xiaoli wasn't there anymore. Of course, she walked the opposite direction so that it would be kind of cool. Not that her way home was really there...

Meanwhile, Zhou Lei made it to his home.

"I'm home."

He opened the door and placed his shoes on the floor before proceeding inside the house.

Scanning the floor, he didn't see the shoes, sandals, or any sort of footwear that his parents recently wore. "They're not here? Good..."

The noise of a TV caught Zhou Lei's attention.

"Cigar, mice, and everyone's lies, along with a couple drops of Formula Y, made us, the Supertough Boys!"

"Oh no, Blussom, what do we do?"

"Don't worry, Bublés. They're weaker than us!"

Beside the two, Buttercut had a smirk, launching a surprise attack on one of the Supertough Boys, Wilton!

"Augh!" Wilton crashed to the floor, a big crater under his body!

'That show... Isn't that way too violent for kids?' Zhou Lei glanced at his little sister who looked like she enjoyed watching the show.

Zhou Zhenya only then noticed her brother standing behind the sofa, startling her. "Oh, you're here, bro."

"Didn't you hear me earlier?"

"No..."

Disregarding the fact that Zhou Zhenya ignored him, Zhou Lei entered his room, removed his clothes, and changed into those for home use.

He laid on his bed, letting out a breath of relaxation.

"That was exhausting..."

He practiced as hard as he could since tomorrow was the deadline for the mission. Although there was no punishment by System, missing those big rewards was a punishment in and of itself.

"That reminds me... there was a new mission, right?"

He opened the interface and went to the quests tab. There, he saw the nonsensical quests that System gave him.
