"Ah Ce, are you awake?"
Gongsun Ce groggily opened his eyes. The dim white light illuminated the simple furniture within the room, and the mattress beneath him, neither too soft nor too hard, had the elasticity he preferred. A girl with black hair sat by the bedside, lightly patting his face.
"Did you win, Miss?" Gongsun Ce mumbled, "Are we all back on the ship?"
This was the cabin of the Dawn Star; the window on the right was half open, and the high-altitude winds blew through the girl's black hair. Qin Qianbai poked his face repeatedly: "Look at you, with such a confident expression. This time we secured a major victory."
"Really? A complete victory?" Gongsun Ce sat up, rubbing his temples, gradually recalling the memories before he blacked out. "Ah, damn... I lost my arm fighting Gaius. I never thought he'd be so tricky."
"You were unconscious for a full seven days this time, breaking the record for the longest slumber."
