Soon we will arrive at the place called home.

Ji Xian put away the mecha and switched to walking.

He only went out once and brought back a mecha. He'll probably have to spend a lot of time explaining to Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi.

It wasn't that Ji Xian was unwilling to explain, but rather that the mecha's origins were questionable, and he was afraid that revealing it would have a negative impact on the two women.

Anyway, keep it safe. You can bring it out at a crucial moment in the future and give the two women a different kind of surprise.

They were almost home when Li Lianfang and her group were the first to notice Ji Xian's return.

During Ji Xian's absence, they had a clear division of labor, built some simple buildings, and set up lookout points around the ruined city.

Ji Xian was running at top speed, with so many trucks following behind him, it was hard not to attract attention.

The lookout spotted Ji Xian and immediately contacted Li Lianfang, who came to greet him with more than twenty people.

Li Lianfang immediately noticed the large number of people on the truck behind Ji Xian and asked in surprise, "Who are these?"

Ji Xian said, "This is a slave I just took in. From now on, he'll be your colleague."

Ji Xian did not reveal that these were clones.

There are still differences between humans and clones.

In this world, clones are generally not treated as real people; more often than not, they are merely tools.

Ji Xian did not want to see this situation.

He asked Li Lianfang to help settle these people first, as he wanted to take Lingling home to introduce her to Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi.

Li Lianfang did as Ji Xian instructed.

What Ji Xian didn't notice was a strange and wary look in Li Lianfang's eyes.

Ji Xian had promised that if these twenty-odd people performed well, their compensation would be increased.

With two hundred people arriving all at once, does Ji Xian have enough supplies to distribute? If these people work even harder, will the twenty-odd people still receive the same treatment?

Ji Xian hadn't thought about these details and took Lingling home.

Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi also received news that Ji Xian had returned.

Xia Luoxue bumped right into Ji Xian's arms.

A familiar feeling.

It's only been a few days since I left, and this has happened again.

With a beautiful young wife at home, Ji Xian felt very happy.

Li Youmi's eyes were full of envy. She wanted to hug him too, so she hurriedly took out her phone as if to ask for credit and said, "My God, I have done everything you asked me to do."

Before setting off, Ji Xian asked Li Youmi to help him make a game update package.

After parting ways with Xia Luoxue, Ji Xian asked, "What updates did you create?"

Li Youmi said, "I have completely redesigned the game's source code and algorithm."

Ji Xian didn't understand anything, so he asked again, "Tell me more details."

"That's right. The game runs more efficiently, it's smoother without affecting the graphics, and it doesn't consume more memory. Even phones that are a few levels lower than the ones you gave me can run it effectively."

Ji Xian's eyes lit up; this update was great.

Although no substantial new game content was added, it gave low-end phones the opportunity to play high-end games.

Ji Xian laughed and said, "Li Youmi, you're amazing!"

Li Youmi smiled happily and opened her arms.

Ji Xian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, indicating that he wanted a hug too.

Ji Xian stretched out his hands, placed them under Li Youmi's armpits, and lifted her high with a force.

"Li Youmi is the best, lift her up high!"

"Hehehehe..." came a cheerful laugh.

Xia Luoxue sighed, thinking how silly the two of them were.

Lingling couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

Ji Xian put Li Youmi down before saying, "Let me introduce you to a new member, this one is called Lingling."

Ji Xian pushed Lingling forward.

Lingling said, "Hello, my name is Lingling."

Lingling was so beautiful that Xia Luoxue only glanced at her before asking Ji Xian with a hint of wariness, "Where did you pick her up from?"

"Pick up?" Ji Xian scratched his head. This word was well chosen, and Ji Xian didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Li Youmi said, "My Lord, weren't you going to find an architect?"

"Ah, yes, that's it..."

Just as Ji Xian was stammering and unsure how to respond, Lingling took over the conversation.

"I was the architect he found."

Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi were both suspicious.

Such a beautiful architect?

It's hard to believe, okay?

Lingling reached out her hand, asking for paper and pen so she could design something on the spot.

Xia Luoxue brought paper and pen, and Lingling walked into the room and sat down at the table.

He spread out the paper and, without needing any other tools, began to draw on it by hand.

With swift, quick strokes, Lingling drew her picture.

Straight lines were drawn on the paper, crisscrossing each other.

Each straight line is perfectly straight, as if drawn with a ruler.

Everyone was stunned.

This isn't a design drawing; it's clearly printing.

Lingling drew each straight line without pausing, and in less than half a minute, a meticulously drawn blueprint appeared before everyone.

Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi were speechless for a moment. Even Ji Xian, who already knew that Lingling was very powerful, was greatly shocked.

Ji Xian snapped out of his daze and said, "Now that Lingling has designed the blueprints, let's get everyone to make them."

Lingling said, "This is just a top view of one floor of the main residence. There are still several auxiliary drawings to be drawn. If this area is to be transformed into a base, many, many more drawings will be needed."

Ji Xian said, "Then, I'll leave all of these to you."

Lingling nodded, but didn't agree immediately. Instead, she held out her hand and said, "I've finished the canned food, but I want more."
