Gu Li stood at the port of District 1, with the warehouse she had temporarily rented behind her, which was used to store the materials she had bought.

It has only been three days since the attack on Base C02. After hearing that she needed to go to District 2 to buy things, Chen Guo immediately sent her a pass.

Gu Li is unsure what level this pass is.

But when she approached the shop owner and asked for a little something, he saw the pass and immediately performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act for Gu Li.

Such a large amount of materials were actually gathered in just one day.

Under the shop owner's farewell gaze, Gu Li walked out of Zone 2 with a subtle expression, her mood uncontrollably improving.

Indeed, not having power doesn't necessarily mean unhappiness, but having power can solve 80% of your troubles.

Carrying a leather suitcase and a walking stick retrieved from the ruins, she waited quietly for the arrival of the cargo ship from the alien city.

She felt like a traveler returning home, and surprisingly, she was filled with anticipation and excitement.

I wonder how everyone is doing while she's been gone?

Gu Li combed her light golden hair, trying her best to keep her expression composed, and presented a reserved smile.

The cargo ship traveling between Zone 1 and the Alien City has changed partners, and this time the people transporting the goods appear to be from Zone 1.

The mysterious church had long since grown tired of following the alien city as its lackey.

This day was bound to come sooner or later.

She secretly calculated that if they cried in front of her, she would reluctantly comfort them out of consideration for everyone's enthusiasm.

...to comfort everyone...

Even before the cargo ship docked, you could see a group of strangely shaped advanced species huddled together in the distance, setting up a barbecue stall on the beach.

Even a kilometer away, Gu Li could hear the cheerful laughter.

The reserved smile on her face gradually disappeared.

These people seem to be doing quite well while she's not around.

The king seemed completely unconcerned about their long journey.

When Gu Li learned the truth, she almost burst into tears.

She waited quietly for the ship to dock, sniffing the air as her taste buds, which had been irrigated by the large amount of nutrients she had consumed over the past three days, gradually began to recover.

Gu Li's gaze toward the grill grew increasingly dangerous.

Levi wore a huge apron to avoid getting himself covered in oil stains, and his two tentacles waved in the air, leaving afterimages, while a fragrant aroma emanated from his hands.

The high-ranking species, led by Lancer, were sitting nearby, eagerly waiting to be fed.

Gu Li also saw Cen Xingbang, dressed in a black suit, sitting elegantly at the table, with his personal chef Shi Qing beside him.

The translucent dumpling's body sprouted countless tiny hands, like a little hedgehog, as it sizzled and sizzled while grilling skewers.

Only one upright figure stood at the port, waiting for the cargo ship to arrive.

Gu Li watched Eric's tall figure from afar, and a look of relief finally appeared on her face.

As the ship docked, she suddenly darted out from her hiding place, tossed aside her luggage, and ran with open arms toward the tall figure.

"Eric!!!"

Gu Li mimed climbing a tree on him and happily announced, "I'm back!"

She sat down very naturally on Eric's shoulder, and the Goat's Hoof Man instinctively supported the suddenly appearing girl.

The once lively beach barbecue scene suddenly fell silent.

Several pairs of eyes turned directly to Gu Li, who had suddenly appeared above Eric's head.

"Clang."

The kebab in Levi's hand fell to the ground, covered in dust, but no one paid any attention.

Levi rushed forward first, and Gu Li lost his footing. Levi grabbed him by the armpits and lifted him up, swaying him in the air for a while.

She could still hear Levi's cheerful, booming voice in her ear: "You're back! I knew things couldn't be good out there, you've lost weight!"

Levi's words seemed to have flipped a switch; as soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people swarmed forward.

They lined up one by one, weighing the chestnuts in their hands, and all shook their heads with solemn expressions, as if they had encountered a matter of utmost importance.

For half an hour after Gu Li got off the boat, his feet never left the ground.

She cast a pleading look at Cen Xingbang, who was sitting to the side watching the play.

The deer-headed man, who had been sitting and watching the show from the sidelines, finally moved. He took the skewers that Shi Qing respectfully handed him and stood up with elegant movements.

Gu Li, still dizzy and disoriented in Lancer's hands, was suddenly pulled away from the excited, foul-mouthed octopus by a pair of invisible hands.

Gu Li subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and smelled a fragrant aroma. She was being pulled by those large, transparent hands, and a handful of fragrant skewers was stuffed into her hands.

She twitched her nose and sneezed.

Cen Xingbang is as serious yet flamboyant as ever. Even when he's out barbecuing, he's wearing perfume!

Gu Li thought to herself, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

The long-lost complex flavors exploded in her mouth. Gu Li squinted her eyes and ate from beginning to end as she was fed in a circle.

Until all the ingredients on the grill are used up.

Gu Licai reluctantly stopped, and under the increasingly affectionate gazes of the crowd, jumped down from the seat suspended in mid-air.

She quickly forgave everyone for carrying her on the beach to barbecue, and strolled off to retrieve her luggage from the ground.

He squatted down and rummaged through the suitcase.

Lancer and his friends huddled together at a distance, whispering among themselves, "All the barbecue meant for practice ended up in her stomach!"

Lan Meng, who had been forcibly dragged to participate, rolled her eyes: "Isn't this perfect? ​​It was originally prepared for her."

Angell spoke up, his rectangular face as solemn as Eric's rectangular pupils: "This can only mean that Miss Gu Li must be having a very bad time outside."

The group huddled together, listening to Angel's heavy voice say, "I heard that Mr. Cen only gave Miss Gu Li one million points!"

"Does she never spend money when she's out?"

The group gasped simultaneously, casting reproachful glances at Cen Xingbang, whose face remained calm.

Lancer, enraged, whipped up a layer of sand with his fluorescent tentacles and sprayed it all over Lan Meng's face: "Damn it, he wouldn't even let me have some back then!"

Lan Meng spat out the sand in his mouth, feeling like a complete idiot for listening so earnestly, as if his IQ had been dragged down.

Seeing the approving looks on everyone's faces, he suddenly stood up, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

He looked pleadingly at Eric, who was also adrift, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

"Aren't they exaggerating? Gu Li is an adult, after all!"

Lan Meng looked utterly devastated: "With that brute force that killed a familiar with just a few punches, it's a miracle she doesn't bully others!"

Eric nodded thoughtfully: "Could it be that inflation outside has reached this level?"

Lan Meng's vision went black.

There's also one who's mentally unstable.

A shadow gradually fell over Lan Meng's face. Sometimes he really wanted to call the police and have these guys arrested.
