[Yang Xing: Don't rush, don't rush, come over after dinner. We've just started discussing the lunar rings!]

Xiao He: Okay, then call me when the time comes. I'm always free.

Yang Xing: OKOK~~

After closing the chat window, Xiao He vaguely sensed an undercurrent of tension.

All these changes may have started long ago.

It's just that humans are too low-level and have too narrow a perspective, so they have been unable to discover these anomalies for a long time.

Moreover, to prevent widespread public panic, the Nobel Committee would never release such vague information to the public.

Just like Xiao He's "mutated lotus jade" back then, although it was reported to the committee, the matter was ultimately handed over to the divination pavilion because there was "insufficient evidence".

After the fortune teller predicted a "century-long revival," only a few high-ranking officials in each city knew about it.

Let alone ordinary people, even forbidden spell elementalists cannot "know everything under the world without leaving home".

In this era where information is not yet readily available and rapid, one person's concealment can easily lead to everyone being cut off from the news, causing the best opportunity to save the situation to be missed.

Yang Xing was well aware of this, which is why he spent the last two years researching robots and desperately grinding experience to upgrade the "Central Tower".

The original central tower could only cover the city center, but now that he has upgraded it to level three, its range has exceeded the entire city area.

Within this scope, all his commands can be executed immediately by machines and weapons.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the "master" of this region.

If it weren't for the fact that all the resources that could be plundered in the surrounding area had been collected in the past few months, his advancement speed would not have slowed down.

Xiao He intended to take some time to go out and find new materials for him, but he happened to run into the matter of the "mysterious abyss", so he had to decide to put it aside for a few days.

After finishing everything, Dai Lele sat down on the sofa next to Xiao He and raised her eyebrows when she saw the robot Beibei.

"Wow, this pervert actually gave you this kind of thing?"

"Do you have one too?" Xiao He wasn't surprised.

"I didn't," Dai Lele admitted.

"Huh? Why?"

"The materials required for this kind of humanoid robot are very limited, and he was unwilling to make one for me."

"Well……"

"I also dislike those ugly mechanical dogs."

"A mechanical dog?"

"Yes, it's completely useless. It can only provide road navigation; it's a first-generation AI." Dai Lele said angrily, "They said I don't even leave the city, so making one for me would be a waste! They know I like girls with pigtails; it's really despicable!"

"Ah, I see..."

Xiao He scratched his head, and it took him a while to remember the gift he wanted to give her.

"It's okay! I'll give you a girl with pigtails!" Xiao He said, slapping his thigh, feeling that he had never been so prescient before.

"You also have girls with pigtails?" Dai Lele looked at her sideways with a skeptical expression.

Without saying a word, Xiao He took out a music box and placed it neatly on the coffee table in front of Dai Lele.

The little girl dancing looked blankly at her surroundings, as if she were unfamiliar with the environment.

But sensing the gaze of the "audience," she lightly touched the ground with her toes and began to dance as always...

"Ding...ring...ding..."

As the monotonous, light music began to play, Dai Lele's gaze sharpened.

"This...you? Where did you find this...?"

“In the capital, in the magical underground street, there is a special gift shop.” Xiao He told Dai Lele about the shop, including the fact that Xiao Ai had given it to him.

"Such a unique and interesting shop..." Dai Lele was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

If she could bring things from the real world with her, she felt she could exchange with that boss many times over.

"Yes, because I also thought it was quite interesting, so I thought I'd bring one back for you." Xiao He scratched his head and smiled shyly.

It's rare that my older sister doesn't mind my taste!

At this moment, she felt nothing but relief and pride.

"Thank you, thank you! I'll accept it!"

As Dai Lele spoke, she picked up the music box, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Hey, I'm glad you like it." Xiao He nodded repeatedly.

"I love it! It's so much better than Yang Xing's crappy figurine! I'm going to put it in my room!"

Before she finished speaking, Dai Lele leaped up and disappeared into the corridor beside the hall.

“ZZZzzzz…”

Xiao He turned his head; Juliet beside him had been asleep for a long time.

Because she was a guest of Fiesburg, no one made her work too much, so she, like Jia Ning, leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep.

Xiao He took out a small blanket and covered Jia Ning's belly, then put his little hand inside.

Plump and smooth like jelly...

The sounds of arguing outside the door could still be heard intermittently.

Fearing they would be woken up, Xiao He quietly got up and went out, closing the door behind him.

"Squeak—squeak—"

The cicadas chirped loudly high in the treetops.

The sun was no longer as intense as it was at noon, and Fiesborg was facing away from the sunset.

A large shadow was cast in front of the gate. When the wind blew, the moist air by the lake, along with the faint scent of grass, was simply invigorating.

"If only those three arguing people weren't spoiling the mood..."

Xiao He sighed softly, and his open eyes caught a glimpse of the people arguing by the lake.

Honglian, the mentor, actually moved a stool and sat not far from the three of them, eating sunflower seeds and listening to them listlessly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao He strolled over.

He familiarly asked Honglian for a handful of melon seeds with his eyes, and instead of taking a stool or chair, he sat cross-legged on the lawn next to her.

"Even the instigator can't put out this fire, it's really interesting." Although Honglian's speech was unclear while she was biting into a melon seed shell, it was still concise and to the point.

"Oh? Is it the little fat boy?" Xiao He snapped open a plump, round melon seed, and a rich aroma wafted out.

"Smack smack... Yes, smack smack..." Honglian answered while chewing.

"So what are they discussing now?"

They're arguing about who should pay the compensation.

"Yuan Ni shouldn't have anything to do with this, right?"

"Hmm~ It's related." Honglian spat out the sunflower seed shells before saying with interest, "Because the little fat boy secretly read Yuan Ni's extracurricular book and learned this method of starting a fire from it. That's why he used Yu Yang as his guinea pig first thing this morning~"

"Oh?" Xiao He turned his gaze to the chubby fire-elemental boy, Xi Tuo, with surprise, and asked after a long while, "Is that extracurricular book a storybook?"

"yes."

"How could it say 'real magic'?"

"No, it's because the chubby boy got inspiration from a story, so during potion experiment class, he stole some magic potions from the lab, added a little bit of Chili's hair, and ended up creating this strange liquid..."

After saying that, Honglian shrugged.
