Xiao He picked it up and weighed it in his hand. The metal was not heavy; in fact, it was quite light.

Judging from the various formulas provided by the system, this metal can already be considered an entry-level material.

However, the "entry-level" of the system is more than one level above ordinary steel.

Even if Yang Xing didn't produce any finished products, but only produced this metal material, he could still make a fortune selling it. But he was ultimately not a pure businessman.

"What project did you sign with Jia Bo?" Xiao He asked.

"The new series of luxury cars under the Jia family's name will not be produced in large quantities because it is a limited auction model. The factory is already under construction." Yang Xing chuckled: "This time I am only in charge of the technical department. Jia Bo will take care of the other miscellaneous matters. He has a wide network and is reliable in finding workers."

Xiao He nodded. It would be good if someone could help Yang Xing share the burden, freeing him up to focus on his research.

"Here's what we'll do: you make a list and compile a list of the missing materials, and I'll search for them while I'm out."

“Sure!” Yang Xing replied happily.

Xiao He once saw an inexpensive appraisal device called "All-Round Material Appraisal" while browsing the Netherworld Mall.

The detector actively scans the material with the human eye, and the system then analyzes the substances contained in the material and their percentages.

This is a very convenient tool for collecting materials!

Yang Xing can be considered the team's "equipment supplier." The four of them rely on him to manufacture their equipment, so naturally, the faster the process, the better.

"By the way, Jia Bo plans to connect Lianyun Street to Beihu District as one of the main sales points for the new products, so you don't have to worry about traveling to and from the academy anymore," Yang Xing explained.

Xiao He had previously mentioned moving to Beihu District, since Honglian was, after all, a single woman.

Although they are teacher and student, it is inappropriate to keep disturbing other people's lives like this. Everyone needs some private space.

"Okay! I'll find a place to settle down and save some money. I'll just live in the old house in Fiesburg."

Xiao He put down the "brick" he had been playing with for a long time, dusted off his hands, and stood up.

"Go on, go on!" Yang Xing waved his hand.

-

It seems that every developed city has a very vibrant nightlife.

Like Flying Dragon City.

Even if neighboring cities were engulfed in gunfire, it had nothing to do with these civilians.

Around 10 or 11 p.m. is when the night markets, both large and small, begin to open.

Fortunately, Beihu District is relatively remote and rarely affected by outside noise.

After taking over Beihu District, Yang Xing did not immediately begin cleaning up the snow-white crystals on the ground.

So this place is still the same as when Xiao He first arrived, resembling both a snowfield and a salt field.

Beihu District isn't particularly large, but it's not small either. The main reason it feels so spacious is because of the lake in the center.

Xiao He strolled along the lake as if taking a walk. Angelina was swimming in the lake, otherwise his ears would have been even quieter.

Xiao He had thought more than once that it would be great if Angelina could grow some hair.

But dragons don't seem to have any fur.

Not far ahead was a factory under construction overnight, but there were no clanging or banging sounds.

Because the workers are all intermediate elementalists, the work period is only 24 hours, and the cost of hiring them is quite high.

Of course, since the investor was Jia Bo's eldest son, Yang Xing was naturally happy to agree.

Xiao He's route would inevitably pass by this factory, so he decided not to take a detour and instead stop by to take a look.

"Yes, that's it! Excellent!"

As they got closer, Xiao He spotted Jia Bo among the workers.

"It's so late, and he's personally supervising the work?" Xiao He was somewhat surprised, after all, Jia Bo didn't seem like the kind of person who would "condescend" to do that.

A worker pointed towards Xiao He, and Jia Bo turned around. When he saw that the person who came was Xiao He, his eyes lit up.

"Hi! Miss Xiao!"

"..."

Jia Bo ran up to Xiao He, and as soon as he took off his rustic safety helmet, his once neat hair looked like it had been blown apart.

"How could you..." they both said in unison, then stopped awkwardly.

"I... I was just worried they might make a mistake, so I kept an eye on things beforehand to avoid having to redo it," Jia Bo explained cheerfully, scratching his head.

Xiao He even suspected that the person in front of him was not Jia Bo, but his long-lost twin brother.

In just one afternoon, how did the arrogant rich young master turn into Runtu?

"Sigh, I'm not afraid to tell you this, but after reflecting on it, I realized I'm really quite incompetent. So I came to ask Professor Yang to take me on as an apprentice, hoping to learn some skills so that people won't think I'm useless anymore." Jia Bo finished speaking and smiled, but the smile was full of forced smiles.

“It’s not that bad…” Xiao He patted his shoulder, almost spitting out the word “brother” at the end.

I'm so touched!

Why are the people around me either showing off their love or on their way to chase after a dog?

Is the prime of life just for dating?

"It's not for others, it's for myself." Jia Bo knew that Xiao He had misunderstood something, so he had no choice but to explain it this way.

He and Jin Ling weren't even friends, let alone understood each other. Aside from their respective identities, they knew absolutely nothing about each other.

So he wasn't really that attached to Jinling, but being openly looked down upon inevitably hurt his self-esteem.

"You're not bad, don't overthink it." Xiao He sighed helplessly. Although he knew that comforting him was useless, they were friends after all, so he couldn't be too indifferent.

The higher the position, the greater the pressure, and they can't change anything.

"If you feel like you have nowhere to vent, how about we go for a car race?"

Even when offering comfort, one should be practical; unfortunately, this was the only method Xiao He could think of.

"Speeding?" Jia Bo was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xiao He to make such a suggestion, and then said blankly, "I drive very fast, you know?"

"Don't worry, I'm not slow either," Xiao He replied casually, showing no sign of pressure.

"Great!" Jia Bo looked at the lake and asked, "How about we go around the lake?"

"Whatever," Xiao He grinned.

"What kind of car do you want? I have it all!" Jia Bo seemed to become more energetic when talking about cars, and with a snap of his fingers, a whole row of luxury cars appeared, at least dozens at a glance.

"..." Xiao He suddenly felt that he no longer needed "comfort".

But then again, these cars are undeniably incredibly cool.

Xiao He unknowingly became as energetic as Jia Bo, and even the tendons in his hands couldn't help but twitch.

"Come on! Pick whatever you like!"

Jia Bo laughed heartily and was the first to get into a black car.

Xiao He glanced at them casually and chose a streamlined blue one.

Once he made his choice, Jia Bo took back the other cars, leaving only the black and blue ones.

The workers looked at each other, none of them daring to call Jia Bo back.

Fortunately, the design plan was written in great detail, so even if Jia Bo is temporarily away, there will be no problems.

"Waaah—"

Two loud bangs startled the workers, who instinctively covered their ears.

Two shadows, one black and one blue, shot out like bullets through the swirling white frost...
