At first, Tang Ying didn't believe Wen Xingyao's words. With a miraculous ability like Bai Li, shouldn't it be kept secret under normal circumstances for fear of being caught and dissected for research? Why is there still a discussion, and why has the next experimental target already been found?
But looking at Wen Xingyao's expression, it didn't seem fake, which made him a little confused. Could it be that the admiral's charm was so great that Bai Li would ignore his own safety and achieve the result that the other party wanted him to achieve?
When Wen Xingyao saw Tang Ying's expression, he knew that this guy must be thinking of something wrong again. He opened his mouth to say something, but Bai Li stopped him with his hand.
"Let me explain." Bai Li lowered his head and gently stroked the fox cub's back a few times, saying, "Wen Xingyao and I made this decision together. It's not as complicated as you think. I want to help him, so I will."
"My ability comes from an accident or a fortuitous encounter in the past. Anyway, I can now cultivate a kind of Qi that is helpful for genetic collapse syndrome. This Qi can be absorbed by other people, thus affecting every aspect of their bodies. I think Wen Xingyao should be able to understand this feeling."
After the words fell, Wen Xingyao, whose name was mentioned several times, nodded subconsciously, confirming Bai Li's statement. Seeing Tang Ying looking over curiously, with a look of "Let me see, let me see", he thought for a moment and described it in a few words: "After the air enters the body, it gives people a very cool feeling. You can imagine your mental state as a balloon that is about to explode, or other dangerous things. The air is a layer of cool mist that covers the former and quickly penetrates into it, achieving the purpose of cooling, soothing, and calming."
"When it completes a full cycle in your body, you will feel that your mind is much clearer, and your reaction speed and control over your strength have been improved by several levels. That feeling is incomparable and is the opposite of the feeling when you are in the state of genetic collapse."
After such a long speech, Wen Xingyao realized that he could describe the "qi" that Bai Li gave him in such a rich way. This also indirectly proved that this "qi" was of great help to him, a great help that he didn't even realize.
Looking at Tang Ying again, she had stopped drinking tea and was staring at him with envy and jealousy.
Receiving the emotions conveyed by Tang Ying, Wen Xingyao was in a good mood and curled his lips upwards, casting a "provocative" look at Tang Ying.
Tang Ying was so angry! This kid was still as bad as ever since he was a child! The people were deceived by his arrogant performance outside!
Bai Li smiled as he watched the interaction between the two. He felt that they had a really good relationship, and it was not like an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship at all. It was no wonder that Xingyao said that they grew up together.
The black fox cub can understand human language now, but even if he hears the content clearly, he only has a vague understanding of the hidden meanings behind it. What about "qi", "genetic collapse syndrome", "experimental subject", these unfamiliar words make him dizzy, and there are almost material mosquito coils in his fox eyes.
He simply swung his tail and stepped on Bai Li's arms with his front paws, trying to attract Bai Li's attention and tell him not to care about the other two people and just play with him.
At this moment, the three of them looked towards the door almost at the same time. Tang Ying suddenly stood up from the sofa, and Wen Xingyao shouted directly towards the door: "Who is it?!"
As they spoke, the muscles of several people were tense. If any criminals rushed in from outside at this time, they would probably be beaten up.
If it were any other time, their reaction would not be as big as it was today. Tang Ying's trip this time was considered a secret one. Except for a few diehards of Wen Xingyao and a few big men at the top, no one else in the military knew that Tang Ying was going out for something, let alone that the purpose of his trip was to meet Wen Xingyao.
Another "usual time", Bai Li has been acting like a homebody since he crossed over, not going out often, and the only friends he can talk to are Song Xinran and Xiong Pili. Currently, Song Xinran has not returned from his parents' home, and Xiong Pili and the other two will not meet except for the necessary upgrade of the "Holographic Game Builder".
Under these two premises, who would suddenly come to visit Bai Li's house at this critical moment? This makes people think a lot.
Wen Xingyao and Tang Ying were already walking towards the gate. Bai Li had a fox cub on his legs, so it was inconvenient for him to stand up, and he was a step slower than the two of them. He didn't think much about it, and directly stretched the fox cub to hang it around his neck, and quickly followed.
Fox cub: "0.0"
All three were prepared for a fight to break out as soon as the door opened.
However, through the door, they heard a cautious voice begging for mercy coming from outside after a brief silence.
"We are Fox One and Fox Two from the Sky Fox Clan. We are here to look for our clan leader. Admiral Wen and Adjutant Tang, please don't do anything."
Hmm? The Sky Fox Clan? This is a term that I have heard a lot recently. Bai Li released his hand from Wen Xingyao's back and pulled up his "Fox Cub" brand scarf that seemed to be about to fall off.
The scarf had its tail curled up and wrapped loosely around his neck.
Wen Xingyao, who was standing in front of Bai Li, first felt the warmth on his back leave, then frowned, and soon remembered the day he picked up the black fox cub, and sent a message that fell on deaf ears. The people he sent the message to were Fox One and Fox Two, who were separated by a door.
It turns out that these two people have known that Zhu Moling is on their side, but they deliberately did not come to take him away. What's the point of doing this?
Among the three, only Tang Ying was not in good shape. After hearing the person outside the door introduce himself, he had a few big question marks next to his head. He pointed at the fox cub hanging on Bai Li's neck and asked the two in a low voice: "You... used people as experimental subjects without the consent of their families?"
If they weren't all people of status, this would have been suspected of kidnapping, right?
No, no, no, that can't be said. From what the two people outside said, it seemed that they knew from the beginning that Zhu Moling was with Bai Li and Wen Xingyao, but for some reason, they never took the initiative to come to them. When they decided to come, they chose this day.
Now, I was almost treated as a criminal.
This question is really hard to answer. Bai Li glanced at Tang Ying awkwardly without saying anything. On the contrary, Wen Xingyao didn't even bother to lower his voice and said bluntly: "What's the big deal? It came to our door by itself. It's a waste not to use it! He even destroyed one of our game cabins."
This refers to the day when Zhu Moling transformed into a giant beast and wreaked havoc, rushed into Bai Li's rental house, and smashed the game cabin they had just bought.
Tang Ying: "..."
Fox One & Fox Two: “…………” Rumors can actually be correct sometimes. Admiral Wen Xingyao really isn’t that broad-minded sometimes.
Bai Li gave an awkward but polite smile.
A few minutes later.
Fox One and Fox Two, led by Bai Li, shivered as they came to the living room of the villa. Occasionally, they looked up at Bai Li walking in front of them, but they were always burned by the eye-catching scene of the young patriarch hanging on Bai Li's neck and dared not look any further.
Woohoo, how could their wise and brave, unrestrained clan leader be hung around the neck of an ordinary person like a scarf? And he looked stupid and gave up struggling. If you look closely, his fox eyes were narrowed comfortably. If the clan leader returned to human form one day and thought about what happened today, how heartbroken he would be!
If the few words they had heard outside the door earlier were true.
Fox One's animal form is a Tibetan fox, with a square face and squinty eyes, but excellent vision. Standing on a high place, he can see what is happening within a thousand meters with his naked eyes, so it is very easy for him to be responsible for surveillance (here specifically refers to taking a few glances at Bai Li's yard after dinner every day). Fox Two's animal form is a big-eared fox, with big ears, so he can hear sounds from a long distance.
When Bai Li and the others were chatting in the living room, they did not intentionally close the French window leading to the yard, which allowed Hu Er to accidentally hear some of the content, including what Wen Xingyao said about trying to make Zhu Moling return to normal.
Isn't this what they have been longing for since their leader regressed to the beast form? At that time, the two of them couldn't control themselves and wanted to go directly from the yard to the living room of Bai Li's house. In the end, they barely restrained themselves and chose to go through the front door, but they were still almost regarded as criminals.
Seeing that there were several more people in the living room, Bai Li rearranged the seats. He, Wen Xingyao, and Tang Ying sat on the long sofa, leaving the two single sofas for Hu Yi and Hu Er. After they sat down, the interrogation about their "abandonment" of their family head officially began.
"Tell me, why didn't you reply to our message then?" Bai Li took off the fox cub's scarf and put it back on his knees very naturally in front of Fox One and Fox Two. He touched the soft hair on his back and asked lightly.
Fox One's squinting eyes widened two or three times, and for several seconds he couldn't find his mouth, and couldn't say anything. It was Fox Two's particularly large ears that twitched a few times first, waking him up, and also alerting his friend, and the two of them talked about their thoughts at the time.
"None of us expected that our clan leader would suddenly regress to his childhood. When we found him, he had already been adopted by... Mr. Bai." Fox One said.
"Oh, this is adoption?" Wen Xingyao crossed his arms and looked coldly at the black fox cub who was taking advantage of Bai Li and pestering him to stroke his fur. "I'm just taking care of him temporarily. When you guys come, I'll naturally return him to you."
"Hey..." Tang Ying raised her hand and wanted to say something, but under Wen Xingyao's look, she didn't dare to say a word.
I could only mutter to myself, it was clearly agreed that Zhu Moling would be the next experimental subject, how could he just say no? It is true that a man's heart is like a needle in the sea.
Fox One was frightened by this sudden attack and shrank his neck, stammering and not daring to say anything. Seeing this, Fox Two quickly followed up: "Admiral, Adjutant, and Mr. Bai, you all know that once an orc regresses to the infant stage, according to the Empire's regulations, he will be sent to 'Star Hope' as soon as possible. Our leader's brother was like this before, but he went to 'Star Hope' and disappeared not long after. This has left a trauma for us. The leader is also very disgusted with that place and definitely doesn't want to go there."
"So we thought that if we can delay it for a day, the better. As long as we don't find the tribe leader, he can be sent there a day later." Fox Er said, and put his hands together towards Bai Li apologetically. "I hope Mr. Bai can forgive our hasty decision. We are willing to pay a sum of money as a reward for Mr. Bai and the admiral taking care of our tribe leader during this period of time."
He quoted a high number, enough to support Zhu Moling and his family for a year or so.
Bai Li lowered his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he asked, "The prizes I won a few days ago, or the various benefits I received in the name of the community, were also because of your relationship?"
Fox One and Fox Two looked at each other and nodded slightly. They had thought of many ways to put the chief's nutrition fee into Bai Li's wallet.
After getting the answer, Bai Li felt a little disappointed. He was saying, when has his luck ever been so good? This is not scientific at all. Thinking about it, he habitually touched the fur on the fox cub's back.
Halfway through, he felt two strange gazes falling on him. When he looked up, he saw Fox One and Fox Two looking at him in an indescribable way. His hand stopped moving, and he couldn't raise it or lower it. Was he taking advantage of others in front of their subordinates?
A pair of hands came over and took the fox cub away before Bai Li could react. They placed it in the space between the two of them on the sofa, allowing him to sit there.
Wen Xingyao smiled and said, "It wasn't appropriate just now, let him stay alone."
"Oh..." Bai Li blinked, thinking that Wen Xingyao was really thoughtful.
Fox One and Fox Two just felt it was too shameful to watch, so they decided to get serious and get into the "interrogation" state.
"Hey, there's no need for compensation. Our military and the Sky Fox clan are close partners. What's the problem with the admiral and Bai Li helping to take care of your clan leader? It won't take much effort after all." Tang Ying was smart and pulled Bai Li into their military camp while he spoke. He was the spokesperson for the two of them and he let the matter slip in a few words.
Seeing that Bai Li and the others really had no intention of blaming them, Fox One and Fox Two breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Bai Li with their eyes piercing. They said nothing, but their impatient expressions said it all.
It seems that the conversation between the three people has been known by the two foxes. In this case, Tang Ying simply stopped hiding it. He seduced the two people into the same camp and asked them to promise not to tell anyone about what happened today before he was willing to take them along.
As it was about whether the clan leader could recover, Fox One and Fox Two naturally agreed and cooperated very well. As long as the clan leader could recover his human form, they would do anything!
Tang Ying and Wen Xingyao stopped talking and looked at Bai Li, showing with practical actions that this was Bai Li's home and everything was decided by him.
Bai Li thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do it the same as before. Your clan leader will continue to stay in my house. You can come to see him anytime you want, but you really don't have to pay for anything, and you don't have to continue tinkering with the lotteries. If you feel bad about it, can you come to the yard and help me out occasionally?"
Help? What help?
While Bai Li was talking, Fox One and Fox Two kept nodding their heads. When they heard the last sentence, their minds were stuck for a moment. Fox One thought of the scene in Bai Li's yard and blurted out, "Huh? Mr. Bai's yard is full of soil. Do you want us to help you turn the soil and make mud? Will this reduce your hands-on experience?"
As orcs who have lived in a steel forest without any green since childhood, Fox One and Fox Two have no concept of "farming" at all. When they see the soil, they just think that Bai Li is doing some art, molding the soil to make small ornaments or "XX statues" to play with. As time goes by, the little seedlings that grow out of the soil are treated as decorations by them and they don't take them seriously.
That's why this question arises.
"Puff!" Tang Ying thought the tea from Bai Li's family tasted good and had been drinking tea silently. When he heard Hu Yi's question, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.
He ignored Fox One and Fox Two's reactions, and instead looked at Bai Li in shock, asking, "Oh my God, Bai Li, farming in the game can't satisfy you anymore, so you actually arranged everything in real life?"
Wrong, it's the other way around. Bai Li said in his heart, it was obviously because there was no land to farm in reality that he turned to the virtual world. Now that he has the conditions, he naturally has to make arrangements in reality.
But such an explanation would probably be difficult to convince Tang Ying, so Bai Li just smiled at him without making any statement.
Tang Ying took the initiative to complete the meaning hidden behind that smile.
He put down his teacup, smiled knowingly at Fox One and Fox Two, and explained loudly: "How can this be called 'turning the soil and kneading the mud'? Bai Li is clearly farming with his own hands. You have been staying nearby for a while, but haven't you checked the Star Network to see if there is any new heavy news? You haven't heard of the recently popular farming game "You Ran Tian Ju"? "
No way, no way, are there still people who don’t know about this game? Could it be that the 2G network they use to connect to the star network is from the ancient Blue Star era?
The two foxes were confused. In contrast to Tang Ying's radiant face, they suddenly felt that they were so unsophisticated and backward. They were no longer what young orcs should be like TAT.
"Leisurely Country Life", they have never heard of it.
“…………”
Silence explained everything. Tang Ying looked at the two of them sympathetically, and quickly explained the origin of "Living in the Leisurely Farmland" to them, and told them that the creator of this game was Bai Li himself. So it was a very common thing for him to farm in real life.
Fox One and Fox Two were so impressed by the popular science that they looked at Bai Li with a little respect. Mr. Bai is also an amazing person.
Bai Li had originally planned to tell the two about his identity as a game maker later. After all, Zhu Moling's restoration to human form was inseparable from the role of "Lowly Farmhouse", and Fox One and Fox Two would know it sooner or later. Now Tang Ying helped him to tell it directly, saving him a lot of trouble.
Since they knew the specific function of the soil in that yard, Fox One and Fox Two naturally would not shirk their responsibility. They readily agreed to Bai Li's conditions and told them directly that if Bai Li needed their help with anything, he could just tell them.
Wen Xingyao felt a little disappointed. It had only been a short time, and two more people came to help Bai Li farm and take care of vegetables.
...Not two, but three.
Looking at Tang Ying who smiled and said that he could also help, Wen Xingyao silently clenched his fists.
The whole morning passed by unknowingly, until the fox cub cried and pulled at Bai Li's hands, Bai Li remembered that it seemed to be getting late and it was time for lunch.
In this regard, Fox One and Fox Two were very perceptive. Without waiting for Bai Li to say anything, they hurriedly said that they would go back to their own place first and come back in the afternoon. Before leaving, they did not forget to add Bai Li as a contact in the address book, so that they could get the news of their family head in a more timely manner.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving quickly, Bai Li whispered: "I wanted to ask them if they wanted to stay for dinner."
But since they left on their own, he didn't say anything.
Tang Ying then muttered to himself: "It's just time for dinner. With their status, wouldn't they have a space button on their bodies?" They can't even take out the nutrient solution at this time, right?
At this time, he didn't know what he was about to face.
Wen Xingyao looked at his adjutant deeply, feeling a subtle sense of superiority in his heart. "Do you think you will only get ordinary nutrient solution at Bai Li's house? Too naive!"
Then he thought of the meal he was going to eat that was cooked by him personally, and his face visibly fell. He secretly made a note of Tang Ying. This man had shattered him so many times today, but he could still eat all-natural delicious food. It was really a bargain for him.
Tang Ying only felt that the temperature around her was fluctuating, and she was a little confused. She wondered whether she should help Bai Li check the temperature control system in the villa after she finished drinking the nutrient solution and filled her stomach.
However, these thoughts were knocked to the horizon by a punch as he watched Bai Li and Wen Xingyao bringing out steaming hot meals from the kitchen, and he could no longer recall them.
The braised pork trotters are stewed until soft and have an attractively shiny skin, the spicy chicken cubes are spicy and fragrant and are bright red, the three fresh vegetables are colorful and also covered with sauce, and there is a light but delicious winter melon and pork ribs soup.
The fragrance swept towards Tang Ying like a roaring dragon, causing his stomach to growl and his saliva to flow so much that he could hardly hold it back.
"WTF! WTF! Where did you get these dishes from? Why do they smell so good and so familiar? Did we enter the game without me knowing?" Tang Ying's mind seemed to have run away from home, and he asked the two of them stupidly, "Bai Li, a villa-style game cabin must cost a lot of money, can you really afford it?"
Could it be that he had already entered the game the moment he stepped into the villa? Otherwise, why would he see delicious dishes that only appear in the game in real life! !
Mom, is he dreaming!?
