Exhausted, Xia Chuhe returned to the courtyard.

When Li Qiusheng saw her return, he roared and rushed over: "Boss!"

He stopped halfway through his lunge.

Li Qiusheng pinched his nose, his face full of disgust: "Ugh, boss, did you go shovel the latrine?"

Xia Chuhe raised his arm and sniffed: "Is it that smelly?"

“It stinks!” Li Qiusheng nodded emphatically.

Xia Chuhe rubbed his hands together, grinning mischievously, "Hehe, I'm here! Don't run away!"

"Wow! Don't come any closer!" Li Qiusheng turned and ran away.

Xia Chuhe was just trying to scare her; he didn't have the time to chase after her. Taking a shower and catching up on sleep was the most important thing for him.

As Xia Chuhe passed through the living room, even Lu Dangui, who was usually unsmiling, couldn't help but cover her nose this time.

Realizing his actions, Lu Dangui quickly lowered his hand and changed the subject: "Didn't you say you'd be back in a day? Something went wrong?"

"Thankfully, it's all resolved."

Xia Chuhe quickly slipped into the bathroom. His dirty clothes were too filthy, so he simply burned them all.

After taking a shower, Xia Chuhe had no appetite and went straight to sleep. She slept until noon the next day.

No matter how big the problem is, a good night's sleep will usually make it pass.

His stomach was rumbling, and Xia Chuhe felt like he could eat a whole cow.

Downstairs in the living room, Lu Dangui and Li Qiusheng were having dinner.

Li Qiusheng: "Boss, the food Sister Lu packed is delicious, come quick!"

Xia Chuhe didn't stand on ceremony, and the three of them ate a meal first.

After finishing his meal, Xia Chuhe patted his stomach, feeling that he wasn't quite full.

"Have you all eaten? I'd like to treat you to desserts and snacks at Sister Li's grocery store, would you like to come?"

“Go!” Li Qiusheng raised his hand.

Lu Dangui also stood up: "Let's go."

On the way, Xia Chuhe mentioned wanting to go outside the base.

Lu Dangui's steps became unusually hurried: "Why do you suddenly want to leave? Isn't this better?"

Xia Chuhe hadn't told them about Xinghuo, so it wasn't appropriate to suddenly drop a bombshell. He made up an excuse: "I've been thinking about experiencing life. I'm tired of staying at the base and want to go out and see the world."

Li Qiusheng jumped up: "Great! But... what is experiential learning?"

"Well... it's a theory about values ​​that divides life into experiential and achievement-oriented approaches. Experiential learners enjoy exploring the world, trying different things, and finding satisfaction in the process. Achievement-oriented learners value results more and often measure their worth and happiness by achieving personal goals and gaining money and status."

Li Qiusheng thought positively: "Is it possible that my life journey is experiential, but I ultimately achieve the results of an accomplishment-oriented person?"

Xia Chuhe looked up at the sky and saw only the lights overhead: "Ah, it's daytime now, no wonder you said that."

"What do you mean?" Li Qiusheng asked.

Lu Dangui laughed: "Daydreaming."

Xia Chuhe laughed and said, "Just kidding. It's not impossible. I wish you all the best."

Li Qiusheng quickened his pace, ignoring the two of them.

Lu Dangui asked Xia Chuhe in a low voice, "Do we really have to go?"

"Go ahead, I might come back after I've experienced it." Xia Chuhe pretended to be relaxed. "I can go by myself. If you like it here, you can continue to live in the courtyard. I won't charge you rent, you can just watch the house for me."

“I’ll go with you. I rarely go outside the base, so it would be nice to go and take a look.”

"And you?" Xia Chuhe asked Li Qiusheng casually.

"Of course I'm going! If it weren't too dangerous to go alone, I would have already gone to wander the world!" Li Qiusheng's eyes lit up, unable to wait.

Xia Chuhe thought that she should tell her close friends about leaving the base. If anyone was willing to go with her, it would be good to travel together.

Lu Dangui suddenly asked, "What should we do about Bao'er?"

Xia Chuhe had thought about this problem long ago.

"I'll ask her what she thinks. If she wants to come with me, I'll take her with me. If she wants to stay, I'll give her more points and ask Li Yue, Du Zhen, and the others to take care of her."

Bao'er is a precocious, thoughtful, and introverted child. She may have her own ideas, but Xia Chuhe will explain all the relevant pros and cons and let her make her own decision.

If Bao'er regrets her decision after making it...

Let's talk about it when we regret it.

...

Today, Sister Li's food shop mainly offers various egg-based dishes.

Xia Chuhe ordered three servings of steamed eggs and also ate a small bowl of egg noodles with a few green vegetables.

Li Yue smiled and said, "The vegetables my sugar daddy grew are ripe, and he gave me a lot. I'll be changing the dishes frequently these days, so please come and support me often!"

"Definitely, definitely." Xia Chuhe ate the extra meal with great satisfaction.

"Could you pack some for me? The soup and noodles separately, and some steamed eggs too." Xia Chuhe wanted to pack some for those nameless people.

Li Yue served her a large bowl of noodles and also specially packed a large portion of soup in a thermos.

Li Qiusheng ate until his belly was round and full: "Burp~ So good~ It's a pity I don't know when I'll be able to eat this again."

"What's wrong? My shop has always been here."

In a few words, Li Qiusheng explained his plans to venture out into the world.

Li Yue's smile became somewhat forced: "It is indeed dangerous outside, and we don't know when we'll be back. It's alright, I'll wait for you to come back."

Xia Chuhe put the soup and noodles in the farm's warehouse, walked out of the food store, and said softly, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, or you'll look ugly."

Li Yue's lips curled into a sneer, and she casually picked up a chopstick and threw it at Xia Chuhe's back: "You heartless bastard."

Upon arriving at the nameless shop, a large bowl of noodles made adults and children alike salivate.

Li Qiusheng didn't understand: "The food store is so close to you, just go and eat there if you're craving something."

02 While slurping noodles, he replied, "I'm poor."

"You do all kinds of businesses, how can you lack points?"

"The points I earned before were barely enough to pay for medical treatment at 123. I can't waste the points I earn now; I have to save them for medicine and retirement."

"Buy medicine? Isn't 123 already better?" Xia Chuhe asked.

"03 is also an artificial human, I forgot to tell you." 02 didn't hide it.

Xia Chuhe looked at 03, who was quietly eating his noodles. He was very strong. But someone this strong was also an artificial human…

If there were countless 03s, and the upper echelons were to maintain such an army... it would be terrifying.

After everyone finished eating their noodles, Xia Chuhe handed the small robot to 123 and asked him to export the data that the robot had brought out.

Before retrieving the body, Xia Chuhe was worried that he wouldn't be able to bring it back, so he made a Plan B—to have a small robot steal the body's records from the body recycling center.

123 has programmed the robot with functions to automatically crack passwords and read installation data. When it encounters databases with average security levels, it can enter them with ease.

Now, Plan B can provide Xia Chuhe with some information about Hu Xue and the corpse.

123 extracts the data from the date specified by Hu Xue and compares it with the photos sent by Hu Xue and the human image entered into the body database.

"Found it!"
