After lunch,
"Big brother, are you drawing a map?"
Xiao Xiao sat beside Ye Feng, looking at the drawing on the easel, and murmured.
"Mm!"
Ye Feng nodded, not stopping his brush. He was meticulously drawing out the terrain from his spatial warehouse, planning to study it thoroughly...
"Big brother... this map... it doesn't seem to be any place we've been before..."
Xiao Xiao studied Ye Feng's drawing for a while, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, what are you two busy with?"
At that moment, Ling Xi walked over. Her expression held a hint of surprise, as Ye Feng usually took a nap after lunch.
However, for the past period, Ye Feng hadn't rested at all, but had been constantly drawing...
"Ye Feng, Sister Leng was just joking about your abstract art, don't take it to heart!"
Ling Xi frowned slightly and spoke.
"Uh... it's not because of that... I'm drawing a very important map..."
While speaking, Ye Feng's gaze remained fixed on the drawing paper, his brush moving continuously.
"A map?"
Ling Xi was a little surprised. She squatted down, sitting beside Xiao Xiao, and together they examined the stack of drawings Ye Feng had already completed...
"Sister Qiao Ying, it should be in this order... Here's a cabin, starting from here..."
Xiao Xiao said as she spread Ye Feng's drawings on the grass, even weighing them down with small stones to prevent them from blowing away.
"Is that so... Whose map is this..."
Ling Xi, filled with curiosity, joined Xiao Xiao in spreading the thick stack of drawings on the lawn. They both felt it might be helpful to Ye Feng...
"Wait... this... this map..."
As Ling Xi spread the drawings, her pupils suddenly contracted. She seemed to realize something. She quickly stepped aside and placed a drawing in her hand onto an empty spot on the grass.
"Huh? Sister Ling Xi, we haven't reached that drawing yet... How did you know where it belongs?"
Xiao Xiao, who had been contemplating a drawing in her hand, looked on in surprise.
Ling Xi didn't answer. She continued to place the drawings in the corners or empty spaces on the lawn, even adjusting the direction and position of previously placed drawings several times.
"After rearranging those drawings... they seem to fit a bit better... Does that drawing need to be layered on top of another one?"
Xiao Xiao murmured, looking at the assembled drawings after Ling Xi's rearrangement.
"This... this really is..."
Ling Xi's expression changed drastically as she looked at the rearranged puzzle of drawings on the lawn. She abruptly turned her head and called out to Leng Yue and Qiao Ying, "Leng, Qiao Ying, come over here quickly!"
Leng Yue and Qiao Ying, who had been playfully roughhousing, immediately ran over upon hearing Ling Xi's voice.
"Ling Xi, what's wrong?"
Leng Yue looked at Ling Xi with a serious expression.
"Is it an enemy?"
Qiao Ying scanned their surroundings warily.
Ling Xi didn't speak, but pointed to the ground in front of them with her finger.
"A puzzle?"
Leng Yue frowned slightly, surveying the drawings spread out on the lawn.
Gradually, Leng Yue's expression shifted.
"Sister Leng... the terrain on these drawings on the lawn... many places look so familiar..."
Qiao Ying muttered as she observed, then suddenly froze. She turned to look at Ling Xi, and then at Leng Yue.
"Angel City?!"
Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying exchanged glances and then spoke in unison.
"Angel City?"
Xiao Xiao, who had just placed a drawing, looked up curiously at the three women upon hearing their words.
"Angel City? What Angel City?"
At this moment, Ye Feng also stopped his brush and turned to look at Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying.
"Ye... Ye Feng, where did you get the map you're drawing?"
Ling Xi's gaze was filled with astonishment.
"A map? Where did it come from?"
Ye Feng glanced at the drawings spread on the ground, his expression changing slightly. "Ling Xi, did you just say Angel City... referring to the maps on those drawings?"
"Mm!"
Ling Xi nodded. "I only realized it just now..."
"This..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng was even more surprised. "That expandable spatial warehouse... is Angel City?"
"Ye Feng, where did you see the map of Angel City?"
"According to Her Majesty the Queen, Angel City is on Earth. But we've searched for many years and haven't found any clues... Angel City seems to have vanished from the face of the earth..."
At this point, Leng Yue spoke, and Ling Xi and Qiao Ying also looked at him with curious and questioning eyes.
"Uh... this..."
When it came to this, Ye Feng felt a bit troubled, as the existence of the system and the spatial warehouse was his deepest secret...
"Uh... Ling Xi, are you sure this is the map of Angel City?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a parchment scroll materialized before everyone. It was the map he had obtained from Cole's, or rather, Yurmes's secret room at Brad's base.
According to Ling Xi's previous statement, this parchment scroll was supposed to be the map of Angel City.
"Ye Feng, the map on that parchment is indeed Angel City, but it's only a rough location. Many important details, especially defense arrangements, are missing, and there are even errors!"
Ling Xi clearly saw Ye Feng's doubt and quickly explained, "The drawings you've been creating these days, the mountains and rivers, the buildings... even the trees... all bear the characteristics of Angel City..."
"Only someone who has personally stayed in Angel City would know these characteristics..."
Having said this, Ling Xi pointed to a drawing under Xiao Xiao's feet. "The three-pronged tree on that drawing, Qiao Ying and I used to play there often when we were children... The large rock beside it also has scratch marks from when we used to measure our heights..."
"Holy cow, there really are some scratches..."
Ye Feng's consciousness swept through the spatial warehouse, and he indeed found several old-looking scratches on the boulder Ling Xi was referring to.
"And this big pit by the riverbank, when Sha Sha, Ling Xi, and Sister Leng and I finished school, we often played house here... We would build castles and homes with sand. Sister Leng would act as a naughty child caught stealing snacks..."
At this moment, Qiao Ying's voice chimed in.
"Hey, Qiao Ying, don't say weird things!"
Leng Yue interjected, her face flushing slightly.
"This..."
After hearing what Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying said, Ye Feng, although he hadn't finished drawing the remaining parts of the spatial warehouse, had basically confirmed that this constantly expanding spatial warehouse was indeed the Angel City that Ling Xi and the others had been searching for.
"Buzz!"
Just as Ye Feng was pondering how to explain this to Ling Xi and the others, a mechanical voice from the system suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding~"
"Host meets conditions, all functions unlocked!"
