Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng and Lu Jin'an exchanged a glance. "It wasn't picked up?"

They were wrong from the start. If it belonged to Yu Wanling, and Yu Wanling didn't use spatial abilities, then that thing might have been brought into the base from the beginning.

Because the relocation was very urgent, when their large team moved into the Xinghuo Base, none of the base's rules and regulations had been established yet. Although the checks upon entering the base were strict, they only checked for dangerous and prohibited items and did not register them in detail.

Li Xin'er pressed her thumb into her palm. "That's one question. Anything else? Continue."

She wouldn't mind asking seventeen or eighteen questions.

The first question was quite different from what Lu Zheng had expected, which disrupted his initial train of thought. This time, he didn't speak as quickly as before, and instead pondered for more than ten seconds before answering.

Who made the lifebuoy?

Okay, Yu Wanling isn't important, what's important is that lifebuoy.

Thinking of the product details she saw when she made the purchase, Li Xin'er answered 'honestly'.

"Products produced on an assembly line, not specific to any particular person."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zheng and his son almost simultaneously expressed their surprise.

"assembly line?"

"assembly line!"

Because Lu Zheng's question was a rhetorical question, Li Xin'er jokingly asked:

"Is this even a question we need to ask?"

Lu Zheng realized she was teasing him and chuckled, "That won't be necessary."

Assembly line means mass production. Although Lu Zheng is still chatting and laughing with Li Xin'er on the surface, his heart is already surging with excitement.

Has such progress already occurred in places they haven't seen?

The thought filled him with dread.

Because of a historical experience in China, they clearly understand that backwardness leads to being bullied.

Lu Jin'an shared the same thoughts as Lu Zheng; he also understood what this meant, and his tightly pursed lips revealed the turmoil in his heart.

Lu Zheng, somewhat eagerly, asked a third question.

Where is the production line for this lifebuoy located?

Now it was Li Xin'er's turn. She tapped her fingers on the armrest, thought for a few seconds, and then answered:

"It has to be on some planet at least a hundred years from now."

Good heavens, one problem after another. Lu Zheng and Lu Jin'an felt like their hearts were on a roller coaster, going up and down.

So, that lifebuoy is something from the future?

Li Xin'er successfully piqued Lu Zheng and his companion's interest, and the questions that followed came one after another.

Question 4: "Is Yu Wanling from the future?"

"no."

Question 5: "Yu Wanling has channels to connect to the future."

"Anyway, she has a way to buy it."

Question 6: "Purchase with crystal cores?"

"No, it's something you all don't have."

As Li Xin'er spoke, her eyes held a gossipy glint as she glanced at Lu Jin'an.

Lu Jin'an was somewhat confused by the look in her eyes.

Could it be related to him?

He frowned and pondered for a while, carefully recalling everything related to Yu Wanling.

He racked his brains and thought and thought, but apart from visiting the soldiers he had beaten up in the infirmary when he was in the military region, he had only seen them a few times.

And then... she's her sister's best friend?

Following Li Xin'er's gaze, Lu Zheng turned his head and saw his son looking deep in thought.

"This isn't urgent," he said, turning to Li Xin'er and asking her the seventh question.

"Is the future and the present a time tunnel that allows people to travel back and forth?"

Now that the source of that thing has been confirmed, we need to worry about the safety of the world they are in now.

If people from the future could travel to the present, the problems involved would be even more severe and dangerous.

No one knows what the other party's purpose is.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but glance at Li Xin'er a few more times. Could she be someone from the future?

Li Xin'er felt that Lu Zheng's considerations were quite comprehensive. However, the emergence of a system was already due to the oversight caused by the slumber of the Heavenly Dao. There weren't that many capable people who could arbitrarily traverse time.

“I understand what the base commander is worried about, but you can rest assured that Yu Wanling only has a one-way purchasing channel.”

"Your kind of conjecture wouldn't normally exist, at least not now."

She suspected that it was because she had sealed the fragment of divine consciousness that she had separated from the Heavenly Dao in space that the system was able to successfully enter this world under extremely slim chances.

Therefore, Li Xin'er's answer to this question was quite sincere.

Hearing Li Xin'er say this, Lu Zheng and Lu Jin'an felt a little calmer.

Only a little.

"Miss Li, that's all for today. I'll have someone deliver the 70,000 crystal cores, along with the deposit for the supplies, to you later."

Lu Zheng felt that he had learned too much this time, and he needed to go back and calm down to think it over carefully.

"Can."

Li Xin'er achieved her goal and even gained an extra 70,000 crystal cores. In a good mood, she got up and saw the person to the door.

The two walked in a hurry, their steps faltering.

Next, a 'tsunami' is about to erupt in the base.

Li Xin'er's dinner was prepared by You Su's men from the cafeteria and delivered to her room.

She was completely unaffected, happily eating her meal while her soul power continued to monitor Yu Wanling's movements.

Li Xin'er suspected that, given Yu Wanling's luck in being able to bind to the system, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Yu Wanling should be the chosen female protagonist of the 'new world' after the world in the book.
