The two waited from afternoon until late at night before Jingli finally sent the girl to sleep in the next room. To minimize the possibility of being discovered, he had dug this underground base bit by bit himself, and it was built to be very small, with only a medical room and a rest room next door. So when Lian Han went to sleep, he had nowhere to rest.
Even if Jingli were given a bed, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep. His teacher, the one who practically raised him, was finally coming back. How could he possibly sleep?
Furthermore, he was also involved in the teacher's "death." Although he was being controlled at the time, he was the one who actually carried out the act. He couldn't ignore the fact that he was also one of the murderers just because it wasn't his intention—this is one of the reasons why he remained silent in the face of accusations from the entire card-making union.
Would the teacher be angry with him? Jingli didn't know. So while he was excited, he was also uneasy, uneasy about the teacher's reprimand...
The lounge next door.
Did Lian Han sleep? Of course not. Besides the excitement of seeing the old man alive tomorrow, there was also the system.
[Xing Yucheng has been resurrected. Please select the host object to follow in the main system.]
Then there were two options: Xing Yucheng or her.
[Is there a difference?]
[Normally. Task assignments and rewards are the same in both the main system and branch systems.]
[What if it's an emergency?]
The system pauses briefly, then states, "[The main system takes precedence. If both systems encounter danger or conflict simultaneously, the host followed by the main system has priority.]"
[Okay, I understand.] Lian Han blinked, then used his mental energy to click on the three characters "Xing Yucheng".
The system's voice carried a hint of complexity: "[As you wish. The task will be issued as usual, but the main system will now follow Xing Yucheng.]"
[You're probably an idiot.]
A childish voice rang out, and Lian Han paused for a moment before saying, "[It's Xiao Ya. Actually, this is fine, since I've transferred my affections to armor-making.]"
[Whatever you like. I'm not used to my mind being so empty all of a sudden. You can talk to me if you want.]
[Okay, Xiaoya.] Lian Han smiled slightly. She roughly understood why Xiao Mei trusted this energy system. Her childlike, innocent voice, coupled with her soft-hearted nature, while tinged with a bit of calculation, was generally quite good.
Moreover—Lian Han didn't believe that the other party could outsmart her.
...
Of course, it wasn't just Lian Han Jingli and the other person who couldn't sleep that night.
The Ling family.
Ling Ze looked at his brother, who was blocking his way, and said in a fit of rage, "I'm going to settle accounts with Xu Yao, don't stop me! Doesn't that guy have any self-awareness that he's nine years older than my sister? How dare he take a fancy to a minor? I'm going to teach him a lesson, right now!"
"Calm down. According to you, Xiaohan didn't admit it."
"But she hung up! Isn't that a sign that she's guilty? Big brother, your sister's been taken advantage of by a pig, can't you let me go teach that pig a lesson?"
"First you need to make sure it's a pig." Ling Xin looked at Ling Ze helplessly. At times like this, he began to miss Xiao Yue's icy face. If he stood here, the kid would definitely behave.
"Isn't that right? My sister is so guilty now that she won't answer my calls."
“It’s possible she’s too busy right now.” Ling Xin suddenly had an idea. “I’ve asked around, and Xiao Han hasn’t replied to any of An He’s communications or messages. So the important thing now is to find out her situation and whether she’s in danger.”
Upon hearing about his sister's safety, Ling Ze immediately quieted down. "Why didn't you tell me about something so important earlier? I'll go check."
Watching the person leave in a hurry, Ling Xin chuckled. He didn't say anything because he knew Xiao Han was not in danger.
However, it's better to give this kid something to do than to let him go to Xu Yao and then make things difficult for Xiao Han.
To be honest, this kid's hacking skills are pretty good; he found the person in just half a day using only a name...
The Ling family knew that Lian Han was safe, but someone far away in the northern border was quite anxious because they didn't know whether Lian Han was safe.
After failing to find anything on the Skynet search network, Ning Jue was certain of two things: first, Lian Han had removed the AI; second, she was now in an environment without AI.
This must be Jing Li's work!
Jingli explained that he was building a secret base to store his teacher's remains, and of course, he wouldn't install any intelligent programs there that could attract hackers. After all, the Federation believed his teacher's remains were lost, while the Blood Palace believed his body was missing.
It will be troublesome if either of them finds out.
Unaware of the situation, Ning Jue hesitated for a long time before finally dialing Marshal Ling's number...
early morning.
Lian Han, who had barely managed to fall asleep in the early hours of the morning, woke up on time thanks to her good biological clock.
After a quick wash, she returned to the medical room. Jing Li was still there, looking through the information on the AI and glancing at the medical pod every now and then.
"Senior brother, go and take a rest."
"Let's wait until the teacher wakes up. Junior sister, I'm a 3S-level, staying up all night isn't a big deal."
Unaware that he hadn't rested the night before either, Lian Han didn't say anything more after hearing him say that, and handed him a vial of nutritional supplement, "Drink this first."
Thanks.
"If you want to thank me, could you clear out the mountain of quests piling up on Han Jin's account? Like the daily ten card quest. I took a look last time and I felt like I'd be exhausted to death at my workbench."
"It's because you're having too much fun making armor that I'm urging you to make cards."
Lian Han glanced at the medical pod. "With him here, how could I possibly slack off?"
"Alright. I'll remove it when I get back. But I don't recommend you contact those two top-tier card makers from the Card Making Guild. And remember to keep your identity secret."
What happened to those two?
Jingli's smile faded slightly. "I'm not sure if they're friends or foes."
Lian Han's heart skipped a beat. "I understand."
Besides the old man, there are currently three top-tier card makers: Jing Li, Lan Yu, and Tang Naxiu. Jing Li goes without saying, but Lan Yu—Lian Han frowned, "Do you know Lady Jialan?"
"That woman known for her healing abilities? Why mention her?"
Lian Han hesitated for a moment, then said, "If I'm not mistaken, she should be Lan Yu, a top-tier card maker."
Jingli was surprised, "How did you know?"
"The first time we met on the Skynet, the girl that Master Lan Yu asked to treat had the exact same physical data as me when I was 8 years old. Before that, I had only been on the Imperial Capital Star for a short time, and only Lady Jialan, who helped me recover, knew these things. Both of them are 3S level."
"Then it must be one person. I never expected that you would expose the identity of the Federation's most mysterious armor maker."
"It's also a coincidence."
Lian Han chuckled, then suddenly heard the sound of the medical pod opening. Turning her head, she saw a handsome man sitting up from the medical pod, waving at them, "Hi! I'm back."
Lian Han smiled and stepped forward to help him out. "Then get up and move around to see if your body is still able to function properly."
