...

Big Wolf, Wu Meng, and the others were sent out of the instance. Lu Dangui, who was silently working by the instance, heard Big Wolf complaining: "We have to line up one by one to tell them stories, which wastes my time to earn experience points. If there are too many people entering the instance, how long will it take to get in?"

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

Lu Dangui silently noted down the wolf's complaints and relayed them to Xia Chuhe: "Last night you said that establishing a one-way connection with the mechanical boy would be a good start by improving efficiency."

"How so?" Xia Chuhe asked with great interest.

Lu Dangui said, "The mechanical boy is an AI. Its information processing ability is far superior to that of humans. It can receive stories simultaneously in multiple threads. Therefore, you should have 02 suggest that the mechanical boy establish multiple channels for receiving information so that it doesn't have to come out in person. This way, you can avoid contact between the boy and others, improve queuing efficiency, and prepare for the huge flow of people in the future."

What she said made a lot of sense, but Xia Chuhe's focus was off: "Good idea, can you tell 02 for me?"

Lu Dangui turned his face away: "I'm not familiar with the others."

The implication is that I'm only familiar with you.

Xia Chuhe stopped teasing her and simply added Lu Danggui's suggestion to his to-do list.

Besides the five members of Big Wolf's group, two more groups arrived one after another. Judging from their expressions as they left, they seemed quite satisfied with the food and amusement park. Unfortunately, they all went in empty-handed and came out empty-handed; it's unclear whether they managed to snag anything good from the mechanical boy.

...

Noon.

The Meow Meow Legion and the Nameless Ones arrived almost simultaneously.

Two healing-type evolved beings arrived in the Meow Meow Legion, one specializing in mental abilities and the other in internal and surgical skills. Aside from these two, everyone else was taken to the dungeon by Leopard to have some fun.

Even after Ah Bao and the others had finished experiencing the amusement park and officially started work, neither of the two healing experts could diagnose Li Yue's problem.

Now, Xia Chuhe was genuinely worried, and the joy he felt upon seeing 02 and the others vanished instantly.

02 noticed that Xia Chuhe was preoccupied, so he didn't bother her anymore and just asked Bao'er to introduce the dungeon to the others.

After not seeing each other for a while, Bao'er stayed in the arms of 02, 03, and 04 for about ten minutes each before getting down.

Bao'er curiously touched the sword hanging at 03's waist: "Third Brother, you're a little different."

03 gave a faint "hmm" and casually waved his hand. The iron sword seemed to sense something and whistled as it was drawn from its sheath. 03 then flicked his wrist, and the iron sword twirled in the air before flying straight toward the "Food and Amusement Park" sign.

The metal struck, producing a clang and sparks.

The iron sword wobbled and fell off the sign.

03 He waved his hand again, and the iron sword went back into its sheath.

Bao'er hurriedly ran to the sign with her short legs: "My sign!"

The words I painstakingly carved were ruined by the third brother!

However, Bao'er froze when she saw the sign. The iron sword had just struck the last stroke of the character "美" (beauty), adding a sharp finishing touch to the character.

04 laughed and said, "He got a great treasure, and his abilities have improved again. I don't know what it is, he's keeping it very secret, he won't even let me see it."

Bao'er clasped her hands in admiration: "Third Brother is amazing!"

03 remained nonchalant: "Baby, do you want to see?"

Bao'er: "Look!"

04 clutched her chest: "It hurts. The mistress has forgotten her old love as soon as she found a new one."

03 She gave him a cold glare.

04 chuckled and hurriedly pulled 02 to retreat: "Let's go, let's go, let's hurry into the dungeon and do the work Xia asked us to do."

Having arrived at Xia Chuhe's territory, 03 was no longer worried about the safety of those two weaklings, so he didn't follow them into the dungeon and instead stayed to catch up with Bao'er.

He carefully pulled out the brass pendant he was wearing around his neck, fiddled with the back of the pendant, and opened it to reveal the sticker inside.

He was a swordsman carrying a precious sword.

Bao'er felt a chilling aura wash over her.

Within this aura, Bao'er faintly saw two lines of text: "Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles."

03 said softly, “This is the future that suits me best. Before, I could only take one person’s head at a time. Now, taking on ten at once is no problem.”

Bao'er exclaimed in admiration, "Third Brother is amazing!"

After expressing her admiration, Bao'er sighed, "I wish I could be that amazing someday."

03 said earnestly, "I will protect you."

Bao'er shook her head: "I want to protect my sister."

03 stopped talking.

...

The food and amusement park is working perfectly, and the mercenaries of the Meow Meow Legion are also very capable. The dungeon fence is growing at a visible rate.

Occasionally, some forum users come to experience the instance.

02 and 04 are probably so engrossed in the dungeon that they haven't come out yet.

Bu Yi stared at the forum absentmindedly, occasionally replying to messages.

Xia Chuhe contacted the butler, who hadn't been heard from in a long time, and asked him to help find a few powerful healing-type evolvers.

The butler readily agreed and also shared some other information with Xia Chuhe.

Butler: [The nameless guy recently left the base. I wonder if 123 will also leave later.]

Xia Chuhe keenly sensed something was amiss. She didn't explain that she had called 02 and the others away, but simply asked, "What does this mean?"

Butler: [They were too close to you before, and the higher-ups are targeting them. They haven't had any income for a long time, yet they keep giving the base extra money.]

Xia Chuhe: [Why didn't you tell me?]

Butler: [Their situation is far from life-threatening; it's not urgent. Besides, Five Star Company has been dealing with a lot lately. The third daughter of the company's major shareholder has run away and hasn't been found yet. One of the subsidiary companies is also experiencing operational problems; I heard it's due to a supply shortage.]
