"That's hard to explain," Ye Qi said, shaking his head helplessly.

Jiang Qingwan appreciated the second female lead's kindness, patted her shoulder to reassure her, and said, "He is indeed human."

The golden light in the soul can bear witness.

Even though the golden light was entwined with an inseparable black aura, it could not change the fact that he was human.

This is the golden light of merit that one is born with.

"Let's go first." Jiang Qingwan grabbed the two of their arms, like an eagle snatching a chick, and they took flight.

They did not conceal their strength.

Jiang Qingwan flew low, skimming past the trees in the mountains, until she found the spot where she had parked her car and landed.

Ye Qi smoothed out the wrinkles on his collar that had been lifted up, his tone full of surprise: "So sudden, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Jiang Qingwan tilted her head and explained, "I already said. Let's go first."

Ye Qi shook his head, his expression still showing shock: "I was talking about the way you left. How did you just fly away like that?"

Jiang Qingwan smiled. "Yes, it's very simple. You can fly as soon as your feet leave the ground. Get in the car. Let's drive away."

Ye Qi looked at the car beside him and consciously opened the passenger door and got in.

Gu Ningyue was a step behind and sat in the back.

Gu Ningyue fastened her seatbelt, settled in, and asked Ye Qi, "Hey. Why did you take my seat as soon as we got here?"

Ye Qi turned around and explained calmly, "Then I'll sit in the back. Wouldn't that be disrespectful to you? I should be driving. But I don't know the way."

Gu Ningyue nodded: "That's right. You're really lucky to have two beauties like us with you."

Ye Qi recalled the dark days in the forest as if it were a lifetime ago, and sincerely thanked them: "Yes, I didn't know how much longer I could hold on. Thank you, beautiful ladies, for rescuing me and taking me home."

Jiang Qingwan interjected, "Tell me. How come you weren't controlled by the zombies? I don't think your ability is level five."

Jiang Qingwan is like a radar; with just one glance, her superpower level is revealed.

Ye Qi scratched his hair, which stood on end like spikes, and said in confusion, "Actually, I'm not quite sure either. But I just feel like there's something else in my brain that I want to get rid of, but I don't know how to get rid of it."

"In the end, I just left that thing lying around in a corner of my brain."

"Just as I was about to ask my companions if they had the same feeling, I found that they had all lost their consciousness. Like robots that hadn't been charged."

"Without knowing what was going on, I cautiously chose to immerse myself in them. This began a role-playing activity that lasted for about twenty days."

Jiang Qingwan seized upon the key word "time" in Ye Qi's words, "How do you know it's more than twenty days?"

Ye Qi smiled mysteriously: "I have a special ability to manipulate time and space. Even if you throw me into a void, I can still accurately sense the passage of time."

Gu Ningyue gripped the backs of the driver's and passenger's seats with both hands, squeezing in to get closer to the center of the conversation: "Wow, that's amazing, time-space ability. You might be an ancient god."

Jiang Qingwan nodded thoughtfully and said softly, "No wonder the illusion the wood-type zombie created for me involved time travel. I don't know how to do that. It turns out it was copied from you."

Gu Ningyue had experienced hunger herself, so she paid special attention to food and asked, "What have you been eating all these days?"

Ye Qi rummaged around in his thick coat pocket and pulled out a few small mushrooms stuck together. "Look, this is it. I saw a bird eat this and it didn't die."

Gu Ningyue exclaimed, "You're incredibly lucky. You didn't even die from the poison."

Jiang Qingwan braked and stopped at the side of the road, holding out her hand: "Let me see this mushroom."

The mushrooms, stored in the bag and deprived of soil, were thick and heavy, yet also dry and not very moist. However, their green glow remained undiminished, stinging Jiang Qingwan's eyes.

This is the Thousand-Thread Fungus from the Plant Encyclopedia of Cultivation.

It contains a large amount of life force.

It is one of the medicinal ingredients used to brew the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill.

Jiang Qingwan held the mushroom up to examine it closely, then reluctantly handed it back to Ye Qi, asking with fascination, "Are there any more of these mushrooms? Take me to dig some when we get back."

Ye Qi put the mushroom back into Jiang Qingwan's palm: "Here, have this one. As for whether there are any more, I don't know."

"I saw a titmouse eating this, so I followed it and picked some. I haven't seen it come back since."

Jiang Qingwan did not refuse and accepted it, then directly put it into her space.

He considered himself his savior, so what was wrong with accepting a little reward?

Accept it, accept it.

Jiang Qingwan smiled broadly, "Then let's go back to the base first, and I'll come back to look for it myself another day."

Ye Qi specifically reminded him, "Remember to observe the tits closely; it led me to them. But I haven't seen them since."

Mission Lobby.

Jiang Qingwan, holding Ye Qi's hand, arrived at the mission settlement point and contacted the staff: "I'm here to collect my mission reward."

The staff member exclaimed in shock, "So fast? You've finished the task?"

Jiang Qingwan patted Ye Qi on the shoulder, "Yeah, it's the real deal."

Ye Qi took out an identification card, which was only available to special personnel at the base, and gave it to the staff.

After verification, it was confirmed that they were researchers.

Task marked: Completed.

Task Rewards: Tier 3 crystals of any attribute, 8,000 transparent crystals.

The squad leaderboard on the base mission lobby panel changed instantly.

The unnamed team climbed rapidly and eventually reached second place.

They squeezed out the Black Rose Squad.

They were just a hair's breadth away from taking the top spot.

According to the points ranking, Jiang Qingwan and Gu Ningyue did not receive enough tasks.

The staff member asked, "What kind of Tier 3 attribute crystal do you want?"
