"Damn it!"
Ye Feng was stunned by the system's voice.
He thought that by using a nuclear bomb to kill the countless goblins, he would gain a massive amount of usable points, but he only got... 0.1?
"Even if I killed goblins with the help of weapons, the usable points would be reduced... but this is too ridiculously little!"
Ye Feng grumbled inwardly, but the system paid no attention to him.
"Uh... Ye... Ye Feng, are we falling?"
At this moment, Arak's slightly uncertain voice rang out.
"Uh... it seems so!~"
Ye Feng snapped back to attention. He fiddled with the helicopter's control panel instruments and finally shrugged helplessly, "Actually, we've been falling for a while... The electromagnetic pulse generated by the hydrogen bomb explosion instantly fried the helicopter's electronic equipment..."
"Boom!~ Whoosh!~"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, a fierce gust of wind swept over, causing the helicopter to spin wildly. It was the shockwave from the hydrogen bomb explosion.
"Holy crap..."
"Ah!~"
"Uh!~"
Xiao Lu, Xiao Xiao, and the others cried out in alarm.
...
After the shockwave passed, Xiao Xiao was the first to jump out of the helicopter. A flash of light emanated from her, and she instantly entered the cockpit of a flying mecha.
"Everyone, grab onto me quickly!"
Xiao Xiao shouted anxiously at everyone. Ye Feng, Yuan Ling, Xiao Lu, Arak, and He Shang jumped out of the helicopter one after another and grabbed onto the flying mecha.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!~"
"Bang!~ Rumble!~"
The four-person helicopter they had been riding in plummeted straight down, crashing into a rock and exploding into pieces.
"Damn, that was close!"
"It's a flying mecha, and it looks like it's not a low-grade one... Xiao Xiao, you and Ye Feng really have too many good things..."
"Is this the benefit of constantly exploring outside!"
...
On the wide wings of the flying mecha, Xiao Lu, Arak, and the others marveled.
"Oh, this was given to me by a good friend!"
Xiao Xiao nodded, feeling quite happy.
"Big brother, should we go and bomb the goblins where the villagers were?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the crashed helicopter, her voice filled with reluctance.
After all, this flying mecha was specially chosen by Shen Yunyao and given to Xiao Xiao when they were in Mecha City because Xiao Xiao liked flying mechas. She didn't want this flying mecha to end up like the helicopter just now...
"Uh... we'll drop a fire seed bomb there to eliminate the goblins!"
"Don't worry, the fire seed bomb doesn't have the electromagnetic pulse like the hydrogen bomb explosion. And this mecha isn't purely electronic equipment; it has many special components, so you don't need to worry about crashing like the helicopter just now!"
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback and quickly explained.
"Oh, that's good!"
Hearing Ye Feng's explanation, Xiao Xiao was obviously happy, and the mecha's speed increased significantly.
After a while, Xiao Xiao piloted the flying mecha to an altitude above the densely packed goblin hordes.
Ye Feng took out a fire seed bomb and dropped it down. Xiao Xiao quickly maneuvered the flying mecha and flew away...
"Boom!"
"Rumble!~"
Not long after, another colossal mushroom cloud rose from the ground...
...
The next day,
As the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, Xiao Xiao finally brought Ye Feng and the others back to Blackwater Town.
The town was eerily quiet at this moment, as all the villagers had gone to the Goblin Kingdom to hunt goblins and had not yet returned. Only a few older children stood at the village entrance, watching Ye Feng and the others with curious eyes...
"So tired... so sleepy~ I'll just sleep for a while!"
Ye Feng had been mentally tense during the previous battle and hadn't felt much. Now that he relaxed, he felt a soreness all over his body, his mind was groggy, and his eyelids were heavy. He was simply too sleepy.
With that thought, Ye Feng felt a wave of dizziness, his body went limp, and he collapsed onto the ground.
"Ye Feng!"
"Big brother!"
"Ye Feng!"
...
Xiao Xiao and the others rushed forward to inquire with concern.
"Ye Feng is fine. He's just exhausted and fainted from fatigue!"
Yuan Ling checked him over and reassured everyone.
"Whoosh!~"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao and the others let out a collective sigh of relief, their expressions easing.
"So sleepy!~"
"Me too..."
As if Ye Feng had set the precedent, Arak and He Shang also casually collapsed on the ground, and soon, heavy breathing could be heard.
Yuan Ling, Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Lu also sat on the ground without any regard for their ladylike demeanor, leaning against each other to rest.
They had been mentally tense and in life-threatening battles earlier, and in reality, they had long been too exhausted to even lift a finger. They had just gritted their teeth and persevered...
"Your Highness, the sunrise is so beautiful..."
Xiao Lu, leaning against Yuan Ling's back, murmured and fell asleep...
...
Ye Feng didn't know how long he had slept. He only felt like he had slept for an eternity...
"Is this big brother the great hero who saved everyone in our Blackwater Town?"
"Yes, he's the one who killed the Goblin High Priest and destroyed the Goblin Kingdom!"
"That's right, Her Highness the Saintess said it herself. She went to hunt goblins with him! He's so amazing!"
"I want to become a great hero like this when I grow up!"
...
Amidst the curious, tender childish voices, Ye Feng groggily opened his eyes.
"Uh!~"
Ye Feng couldn't help but let out a muffled groan of pain. He felt as if he had been beaten by countless people; every part of his body ached...
Amidst the throbbing pain, there were also strange grasping sensations, which seemed to alleviate some of his soreness...
"Huh?"
Ye Feng rubbed his eyes and looked around. He found himself lying on a spring bed, his body wrapped in bandages. A circle of children surrounded him, staring at him curiously and playfully pinching him...
"Big brother, you're awake!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's voice came from the doorway.
"Mm!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly and propped himself up with his hands on the bed.
The recurring soreness made Ye Feng wince. He looked at Xiao Xiao, who also had a lot of bandages on her, and asked, "Xiao Xiao, how long have I slept?"
"Big brother, you've been unconscious for three days and two nights. Although Sister Yuan Ling said you were out of danger and just needed rest, we were still very worried!"
Xiao Xiao trotted to Ye Feng's side, looking at him with concern.
"Th-three days and two nights?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was taken aback. He had thought he had just slept for a while, as usual.
"Great hero brother, are you hungry? I'll go tell the adults to bring some food!"
At this moment, a slightly older girl with short hair said crisply to Ye Feng and then ran off, her expression quite excited.
After the short-haired girl left, the other children continued to pinch Ye Feng...
"Uh, Xiao Xiao, what's going on with these children?"
Ye Feng looked at Xiao Xiao, feeling puzzled.
...
