"Of course, I'll choose to unlock it myself!" Little Wolf said without hesitation, "Since I can do it myself, why waste a precious potion? Besides, I've heard that unlocking it yourself offers higher potential for improvement."

Luo Chao was stunned for a moment, not expecting Little Wolf to make such a straightforward choice. He couldn't help but admire him, feeling very gratified, and said, "That's right, a man must rely on himself."

With Luo Chao's affirmation, Little Wolf became even more determined.

"If that's the case, you guys can leave now, I have things to study," Zhao Hanxue mercilessly broke the inspirational atmosphere that the two had built up.

"Hey, hold on, what about the potion?" Luo Chao wasn't going to forget about that.

"Potion? What potion? You guys don't need it, right?" Zhao Hanxue feigned confusion and then ignored Luo Chao, sitting at her work chair, typing away, not sure what she was researching.

Luo Chao was anxious now: "People shouldn't break their promises. You promised me a portion earlier, Little Wolf can vouch for it."

Little Wolf hurriedly nodded, firmly supporting Luo Chao.

But Zhao Hanxue still didn't glance at them, only staring at the screen. After a long time, she finally said, "What do you need it for? You're not using it anyway, I might as well keep it for myself."

Luo Chao was anxious, scratching his head, took two steps forward, and lightly tapped Zhao Hanxue's shoulder with his fist. "Beauty, my great beauty, be kind. We might not need it now, but we may in the future!"

"A little to the left, and use a bit more force."

Upon hearing her instructions, Luo Chao quickly complied. "Please give me that potion. You're not losing out. If you give it to me, I'll tell you the secret of the leather wrist guard I gifted you. How about it?"

She took out the leather wrist guard from her pocket, held it disdainfully with two fingers, and said, "You mean this thing? What secret could it have?"

"Let me do a little experiment, and you'll see, you'll surely find it valuable!" Luo Chao took the wrist guard and put it on his wrist, "Little Wolf, come, hit me with all your strength, don't hold back."

Although Little Wolf didn't understand why, he obediently did as told and gave Luo Chao's chest a fierce punch, even producing a fist wind, clearly using all his strength.

However, the next moment, something bizarre happened. Little Wolf's fist suddenly stopped about ten centimeters in front of Luo Chao's chest, as if someone had grabbed it, unable to move forward. Then, as if suddenly struck by a great force, he flew backward, landing straight on the ground.

"How's that, impressive or not? I spent three days getting this right, it's absolutely amazing." Luo Chao lifted his wrist with a proud look and showed off to Zhao Hanxue. "You're not losing out, if you want it, hurry up and give me the potion, otherwise I won't gift this wrist guard to you."

It turns out he was using the wrist guard to pressure Zhao Hanxue.

When Little Wolf flew backward from the impact just now, Zhao Hanxue's alluring red lips opened in surprise, then she skeptically said, "You two didn't plan this in advance, did you? Just putting on a show."

"Oh dear, my dear lady! How can you be so distrustful?" Luo Chao was infuriated by her accusation, "This could not be acting, no actor could perform this effect, let him try against me."

Little Wolf awkwardly crawled to his feet, "Brother, you should've told me earlier there'd be this result, I wasn't prepared at all, hurt myself badly, it aches!"

"You're fine, this little injury is nothing to you." Luo Chao casually brushed off his complaint and then turned to Zhao Hanxue, "Little Wolf ended up like this and you still don't believe us? Alright, this time it's your turn, I'll stand still, and you come hit me."

By now, Zhao Hanxue was starting to believe. Upon hearing this, she thought of an idea. Extending her palm, a slender transparent Ice Cone appeared, "I'll throw this at you, and you're not allowed to dodge."

"Alright, I won't dodge, but make sure you step aside afterward." Luo Chao understood her intention and smilingly reminded her.

"Whoosh," the Ice Cone swiftly aimed at Luo Chao's thigh. Zhao Hanxue chose the outside of the thigh, so in case the unexpected happened, there wouldn't be serious injury.

Her concern was clearly unnecessary, as the same scene just now unfolded, but this time instead of Little Wolf, it was the Ice Cone that rebounded backward.

"Watch out!" Luo Chao shouted.

Unfazed, Zhao Hanxue dodged her own Ice Cone promptly, her expression heatedly fixed on the wrist guard on Luo Chao's hand, "Give me back the wrist guard." Saying that, she attempted to grab it.

Luo Chao quickly hid his arm behind him, out of reach. "You hand over the potion first!"

"Just you wait." Zhao Hanxue briskly left the lab, and before long returned carrying a small box.

Placing the box on the lab table, "The contents are inside, now give me the wrist guard."

"Humph, who was it just now looking like they didn't want it, why suddenly turned into such a treasure!"

Zhao Hanxue snatched the wrist guard into her hands, lovingly inspecting it. "I can do what I want, it's none of your business!"

She put on the wrist guard, studying it. Her face full of curiosity asked, "What's the manufacturing principle of this wrist guard? How could it possess such a magical ability?" Now she looked nothing like the Ice Goddess, completely like a curious baby.

"Can't tell you that, it's a family secret craft, unless...," Luo Chao sneered with a touch of malice.

Zhao Hanxue didn't notice his expression, still flipping the wrist guard back and forth, trying to find out if there's some mechanism. However, carefully checking it, found nothing peculiar, it looks just like regular cowhide, nothing else.

Hearing Luo Chao's words, she asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless you become the bride of our Wei Family, then I'll tell you. My dad once told me, when I find a wife, I can pass this craft to her." Luo Chao grinned mischievously.

Little Wolf standing by also chuckled foolishly.

Zhao Hanxue's face turned red, spat at him, "I checked your records, you were an orphan growing up in the military camp, where'd you get a dad, always full of nonsense."

"Oh, so you've been sneaking looks at my file, tell me, do you have feelings for me?" Luo Chao seized on the slip in her speech, retorted mercilessly.

"Stop spouting nonsense! I'm just understanding my teammates better, making sure none are sent as enemy spies, and what's with that expression, do you want the potion or not?" Zhao Hanxue was provoked by Luo Chao's constant smiling face, growing more embarrassed, and snapped angrily.
