"What's wrong? Did you fall into a monster horde again?"
Ye Feng quickly replied.
"No, I haven't explored outside for a while... Many monsters attacked my place... "
"I originally wanted to explore around and figure out what this world is all about, but now it's impossible..."
Zi Ying Su's reply was equally fast.
"By the way, Zhang San, do you have a lot of weapons? I'll trade you the treasures I found exploring before!"
After a pause, Zi Ying Su sent another message, followed by a photo.
"Whoa~"
Seeing the photo Zi Ying Su sent, Ye Feng couldn't help but be taken aback, because in the photo was a Stone of Hope.
"Zhang San, do you know about the Angel race? This inconspicuous thing is called a Stone of Hope. It is said to contain a super secret of the Angel race, and legend has it that the Ark of the Covenant is also related to it!"
"I originally wanted to keep it for myself to study, but now things are tricky, and I urgently need a large amount of powerful weapons!"
At this moment, another message from Zi Ying Su came into Ye Feng's [Private Chat Channel].
"Alright!~ I'll give you two nuclear bombs!"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and replied.
"Nuclear bombs? Real or fake?"
Zi Ying Su seemed shocked by Ye Feng's message, sending several surprised and questioning emojis.
"It's real, but it's a bit different from traditional nuclear bombs. It's modified from the ignition core of a mecha, possessing the power of a nuclear bomb but without the nuclear radiation side effects!"
Ye Feng quickly explained.
"That's great..."
...
Ye Feng and Zi Ying Su quickly reached a deal on the [Trading Channel].
"Come to the Sea Restaurant to hang out if you have a chance, I'll treat you to a feast~!"
After speaking, Zi Ying Su went offline.
"Is this Zi Ying Su also from the Sea Restaurant? That person named Cotton Candy who wanted to buy weapons from me earlier... seemed to be from the Sea Restaurant too..."
"Was the Sea Restaurant attacked by a large number of monsters?"
Ye Feng muttered, then looked at the Stone of Hope beside him, "Speaking of which... I currently have seven Stones of Hope..."
...
The next day,
"Big idiot, wake up~ Stop sleeping in~"
Ye Feng was sleeping soundly when he vaguely heard a催促ing female voice.
"Hey, Pipi, what are you doing? Didn't you say talking to me consumes a lot of energy?"
Ye Feng mentally spoke to Pipi in his mind with some annoyance. The female voice urging him was the system's little butler, Pipi.
"After you advanced to Epic, my energy recovery speed has become much faster. As long as it's not a long conversation, it won't be an issue~"
Pipi's voice quickly rang out.
"It's already almost noon... Am I feeling mentally fatigued from comprehending the厄水..."
Ye Feng glanced at the clock and muttered.
Then, he spoke to Pipi again, "Pipi, is there something you called me for?"
"I think I heard a woman calling you!~ But I'm not sure what's going on!"
Pipi replied quickly.
"A woman is calling me?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and listened intently.
After a while, Ye Feng said with some confusion, "Pipi, are you sure? I didn't hear anything!"
"This... it was just here... now it's gone..."
Pipi's voice was accompanied by some doubt.
"I..."
Ye Feng was speechless.
"Big brother, wake up and eat..."
...
After a sumptuous lunch,
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, and Yue Yan were resting under a patch of shade. The scout colorful chicken was stretching and flapping its wings under the sun, looking quite happy.
"Ye Feng, although your strength is very strong now, you still can't be careless when facing the gods!"
"Ares and Apollo we encountered earlier had probably only recently awakened... Ares only had one divine artifact..."
Yue Yan solemnly warned Ye Feng.
"Mmm!"
Ye Feng nodded.
In fact, from his previous encounter with Apollo, he had already sensed it. During the battle, he clearly felt that Apollo's strength was growing, especially his spatial power.
"Also, there's a saying... that even if the twelve main gods are fully awakened, their power is incomplete..."
After a pause, Yue Yan added.
"Incomplete power? What's going on?"
Ye Feng turned his head and looked at Yue Yan with a confused gaze.
"I'm not too clear about the specifics..."
Yue Yan sighed slightly.
"Ye Feng, someone is rapidly approaching this way!"
Suddenly, Qiao Ying spoke.
Before her voice faded, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Yue Yan all turned their heads to look in one direction. In the distance, a white figure was flashing rapidly through the forests and piles of rocks. In the blink of an eye, it was less than a hundred meters away from Ye Feng and the others.
"Big brother, it's the sister we met at the sand dunes before!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's voice rang out.
"Whoosh!~"
As soon as Xiao Xiao finished speaking, the white figure in front flashed again and appeared about 5 meters in front of Ye Feng and the four of them.
The person was wearing a white palace dress, a jade green hairpin on her head, and her black hair was neatly piled up behind her head.
The woman's face was delicate and graceful, her skin was fair with a rosy hue, and beneath her willow leaf eyebrows were exquisite, delicate eyes, and her lips were red and moist, full of the unique charm of an Eastern woman, like a classical beauty stepped out of a Chinese landscape painting. She was Yue Fei Xue.
"Yue Fei Xue, why are you here, you old hag?"
Seeing the newcomer, Yue Yan was somewhat irate.
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao smiled and waved at Yue Fei Xue, while Qiao Ying looked at Yue Fei Xue with curiosity.
"It's you? Long time no see!"
Yue Fei Xue's eyes showed obvious surprise upon seeing Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
Then, her gaze shifted, and she looked at Yue Yan, "Yue Yan, long time no see!"
"Hmph!"
Yue Yan snorted and turned her head away, seemingly displeased.
"Yue Fei Xue, why did you abandon me back then... We clearly agreed to explore the starry sky together on a starship!"
After a pause, Yue Yan spoke again.
Yue Fei Xue did not answer immediately. Her gaze swept across Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying, lingering on Qiao Ying for a while, and she frowned slightly, looking confused.
"His name is Qiao Ying, and he's someone you can trust!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately said.
Yue Fei Xue glanced at the surrounding terrain, which was dilapidated and looked like a recent earthquake had occurred. She then turned to look at Ye Feng and the others, "You... have been to the top-secret area of Taixing City?"
