“President, we have placed the order!”
Kaka was pushed forward by March Third and Flag Fluttering, forcing himself to speak up.
“Hmm,” Li Nanbei's expression was inscrutable, showing no signs of anger or joy. Habitually, he added a few more dishes before submitting the menu. “Thanks to everyone’s efforts, Evil Person has successfully upgraded to a Second-Level Guild. For this celebration banquet, I hope everyone will continue to work hard.”
“Yes, President! We will do our best…”
The crowd responded in unison.
“Puff—”
A certain rogue couldn't help but laugh, looking at the group of Evil Person who seemed like they were undergoing military training, marveling at the Ministry of Justice's ability to train people.
“Commander Qin seems to have something to say.”
The assertive tone carried a strong sense of pressure directed at Qin Huai.
He suddenly met Li Nanbei's sharp gaze and said lightly, “I think I’ll hold off for now, Director Li. You have guests…”
Upon hearing this, Li Nanbei also caught the sound of conversation from outside the door.
“Oh my, isn’t that Professor Ji? Oh… your foolish younger brother is here too?”
“You’ve seen all the excitement at Furong Pavilion today and still aren’t satisfied?”
Ignoring the provocation in the other’s words, Ji Bai spoke with an air of detachment, his expression unchanged.
“How could I have seen everything? I came to knock because I spotted familiar faces inside from a distance, unlike some who rushed over upon hearing the news.”
Hearing the reason for the visitor's arrival, Yan Yan's expression suddenly darkened. Could it be something about Ayu...?
Typically composed, she would lose her usual demeanor whenever faced with matters related to Strict Language. Qin Huai sighed lightly as he observed the girl’s anxious expression.
"Elder Steed President, I’ll step out for a moment."
After informing the host, she stood up and had just reached the door when Li Nanbei's low voice came from behind.
"Guests are welcome; it's fine to come in."
Yan Yan paused, nodded, and stepped outside.
At the entrance stood Ji Bai, Ji Lin, and Beichuan.
As the door to the private room opened, the players from Evil Person, who had been clamoring to see Zero Point Deity, were struck by a profound realization!
Ji Lin looked in surprise at the girl emerging from the Evil Person dining room, then turned to Ji Bai with understanding. "You came here suddenly because of Yan Yu?"
Ji Bai nodded expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan felt a jolt in her heart; an ominous premonition grew stronger. She raised her gaze to stare at the cold Ji Bai and asked anxiously, "What happened to Ayu?"
"We reserved a spot in the adjacent room; let’s go inside," Ji Lin said, taking in the girl's unease while pushing aside his own pain. "Yan Yan, don’t worry. The situation is stable now. My brother came to discuss options for Yan Yu's follow-up treatment," he paused and glanced at Beichuan, who had been watching the girl with keen interest. "Beichuan President, are you joining us?"
"Hmph, I wouldn’t want to follow that iceberg," the charming man replied with a teasing lilt before pushing open the door to the Evil Person dining room and stepping inside.
Meanwhile, seated in their corner were Yan Yan and her two companions. Ji Bai pondered how to broach the subject of Strict Language while Yan Yan reflected on issues that had arisen with Strict Language's body in its previous life. For a moment, an unusual silence enveloped the private room.
Ji Lin's gaze flickered over to the girl diagonally across from him, and she looked much healthier than when he first met her.
Her cheeks were fuller, giving her delicate facial features a refined appearance. The color of her lips matched her complexion, both rosy and radiant, no longer the waxy pallor he remembered. Through her simple white shirt and jeans, she no longer appeared as a frighteningly emaciated figure but rather as a slender young woman with a well-proportioned body. His eyes drifted to her hands resting on the table; he had once been astonished at how thin a person could become, their fingers reduced to mere skin and bones. Now, the hands before him were delicate and fair, perfectly balanced—too much would be plump, too little would be thin. Her knuckles were even, and her fingers rounded, resembling a finely crafted piece of art.
He relaxed his handsome brows and pushed aside the filled teacup as he spoke, “It’s been a while. How have you been?”
Ji Lin's calm gaze remained fixed on Yan Yan, neither overly enthusiastic nor distant—just the right distance, like old friends reuniting.
Yan Yan suppressed the chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind, realizing that he was giving them time to cool down for a conversation with her and Ji Bai. She nodded in agreement, “I’m okay. How about you? Zero Point, I haven’t heard much from you lately.”
“My brother and I are exploring a hidden map that has blocked all external news. I just received a message from the research institute online; my brother rushed over there… Later, he ran into me and dragged me along.”
“Yan Yan, the situation with Strict Language has worsened again.”
Ji Bai's cold words froze all of Yan Yan's movements instantly.
After a long pause, she blinked as if trying to dispel the fear in her eyes. “What’s the worst-case scenario?”
The stern man interlaced his fingers on the table and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. “When I received the news and rushed over, her R Gene Fragment was collapsing significantly. To stabilize her vital signs, I put her into a deep coma… Currently, she is in the treatment chamber. If we don’t find a solution within a month, it may be too late.”
“How far along is the research on Nutrient Solution?”
With her head lowered, Yan Yan made it difficult for Ji Bai to see her expression; he could only sense her boundless despair through her flat tone.
“The Nutrient Solution has passed inspection and is ready for use; however, there are issues with the carrier. We’ve tried all available carriers at our current level, but none can effectively utilize 5% of Nutrient Solution’s efficacy—it’s no different from being ineffective—”
“Game Pod!”
"You are..." interrupted Ji Bai, frowning. "But the blueprints are not yet complete."
"I know where the Game Pod blueprints are."
"What?!" Ji Bai's expression suddenly turned cold, an obvious chill emanating from him, akin to a high-intensity refrigeration unit. "Impossible... All our research data lacks a defined outline. I am certain that there is no more advanced research outcome in Z Country than what we have at our institute. If there were, she wouldn't need to..."
The latter part of his sentence was swallowed back as he fell into deep thought, oblivious to the fact that Ji Lin beside him had noticed his reaction—was this about Strict Language...?
He silently lowered his eyelids, brushing aside the thoughts in his mind.
"Are you currently exploring the hidden map of Kunlun Snow Mountain?"
"You know?!"
Ji Lin looked up in surprise. Ever since they had been trapped in the snow mountain map a month ago, no one knew where they were except for each other. How did Yan Yan know?
"The Kunlun Snow Mountain Temple is the former Temple of the Dwarf Race, hiding countless blueprints and mechanical formulas within. Because of the conflict among the Five Races a thousand years ago, Kunlun Snow Mountain fell into permanent freezing. You should have already received part of the main quest: 'Alleviate the Conflict between the Beast Tribe and the Dwarf Race.'"
Her tone was assertive, her gaze unwavering, leaving Ji Lin speechless.
How did she know all this?
