As Ye Feng diligently studied the contents of the "Fire Seed Record," Han Qiuli hurried to a room above the Tyrannosaurus Rex trading hall, guarded by several armed sentries.
"Lili, what happened? Why the rush?"
Han Xianxing, seated in a huanghuali wood chair and engrossed in a document, put it down as soon as he saw Han Qiuli, slightly out of breath and perspiring, and rose to ask with concern.
"Father, look!"
Han Qiuli's hand flashed, and the handkerchief wrapped around the Sildenafil tablets instantly appeared in her palm. She carefully unfolded it, pointing to the two small blue pills as if presenting a treasure.
"Medicine?"
Han Xianxing frowned slightly, asking in confusion.
"Father, it's Sildenafil tablets, a special effective drug for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension. I finally found it. Please take it and try!"
Saying so, Han Qiuli offered the two small blue pills to Han Xianxing.
"Sildenafil tablets?"
Upon hearing the words, Han Xianxing's face showed deep shock. However, he did not immediately take and swallow them. Instead, he asked, "Lili, what's going on? How did you get this medicine?"
"Father, it's like this..."
Han Qiuli quickly recounted the story of the sanitary napkins, the Grand Runemaster of the Arcane City, and Ye Feng.
...
Meanwhile,
At the Xu family mansion in the Tyrannosaurus Rex base,
"Slap!~"
After a crisp slap, a handsome face rapidly swelled. It was Xu Xun.
"Dad... Dad..."
Xu Xun clutched his stinging face, looking aggrieved.
Before Xu Xun stood a middle-aged man with only a tuft of hair on the front of his head, a fierce appearance, and an aura of arrogance that permeated him from within and without. He was Xu Xun's father, Xu Kuang.
"Who told you to provoke Luo Ming!"
Xu Kuang roared, glaring at Xu Xun, who shivered and instinctively took a step back, fearing another blow.
At the same time, Xu Xun's hatred for Ye Feng intensified.
"Dad... Dad, who exactly is that Luo Ming?"
"Why is it that not only Han Xianxing, that old immortal, but even you are so wary of him?"
"Isn't that guy just a wandering vendor?"
After a moment, seeing that Xu Kuang's expression had softened considerably, Xu Xun voiced his doubts, his face still showing displeasure.
"You know nothing!"
Xu Kuang glared at his son again, but he did not elaborate. His eyes narrowed slightly, looking unfathomable.
"Regarding the ice-element arcane energy firearms... The Red Bank ruins might be troublesome!"
After a pause, Xu Kuang frowned and spoke again.
"Dad, it's not that serious. Even if we didn't buy the ice-element arcane energy firearms, it's fine. Didn't we already have two before?"
"Besides, we've stockpiled several hundred rounds of ammunition, which should be enough for us!"
Xu Xun looked at Xu Kuang with some bewilderment.
"You know nothing!"
Xu Kuang looked at his son with utter contempt. "Do you think I asked you to buy the ice-element arcane energy firearms because we lacked guns and ammunition?"
"Wrong! Terribly wrong!"
Without waiting for Xu Xun to respond, Xu Kuang spoke again. "It was to prevent the ice-element arcane energy firearms from falling into the hands of others, especially Han Xianxing!"
"Dad, you are truly brilliant!"
Xu Xun was slightly stunned, then reacted and flattered him.
"Dad, don't worry. I didn't say anything to Han Qiuli about designing the ice-element arcane energy firearms yesterday, and I left directly. It won't affect our plan!"
After a pause, Xu Xun added.
"Han Qiuli might think that you, like before, saw the same item as someone else and a dispute arose... But Han Xianxing might not..."
Xu Kuang frowned slightly, not as optimistic as Xu Xun. "That old immortal Han Xianxing is not that simple. Han Qiuli might be alright, but Han Xianxing will definitely notice something."
"But it doesn't matter. We have the assistance of experts in exploring the Red Bank ruins this time... And if Han Xianxing dares to use the Tyrannosaurus Rex's power again, he won't have many days left to live..."
...
Admittedly, what Ye Feng had told Han Qiuli in the morning was quite effective. The villa where he and Xiaoxiao resided was left undisturbed all day.
Not only that, but Han Qiuli had also specifically sent several people to guard the entrance to Ye Feng's villa from a distance, preventing anyone from accidentally stumbling upon his location.
In the evening,
Ye Feng held a bundle of reddish-brown, ancient-looking bamboo slips, looking quite puzzled.
This bundle of reddish-brown bamboo slips was tucked inside the "Fire Seed Record."
Throughout the day, Ye Feng had essentially finished reading the parts of the "Fire Seed Record" concerning mech operation and functions. He had also made some progress in terms of "fire seeds."
However, there was one thing that baffled him greatly: the last section of the "Fire Seed Record" introducing fire seeds was this bundle of reddish-brown bamboo slips. They were inscribed with characters, but Ye Feng could not recognize the writing at all.
"This thing... it's a bit like the strange runes I've seen before... on Lingxi's battle armor, on the Angel Blade... that thing called the Netherworld Divine Stele..."
"And the core energy equipment of the mech, the fire seed, its outer shell also has various runes..."
Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, then at the mech parts he had obtained from the sand dune placed on the ground, Ye Feng fell into contemplation.
...
After dinner,
Ye Feng, feeling mentally fatigued after a day of studying the "Fire Seed Record," chose not to read further. Instead, he and Xiaoxiao decided to watch various videos on the Survivor Channel.
"My word..."
After browsing for a while, Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly.
Although the video era had only begun a few days ago, significant changes had already occurred.
In addition to the initial live streams of exotic scenery, culture, interesting events, and adventures, there were now various bizarre and extreme live streams.
For example, testing whether a light bulb could be removed after being placed in the mouth, or even eating Oreo cookies...
Even more terrifying were the live streams that distorted human nature and morality, such as live streams of torturing prisoners, or even slaughtering them...
Because there were no administrators in the [Regional Chat Channel] or [World Channel], there were naturally no restrictions on bans or broadcast content.
This led many people to engage in increasingly extreme, perverse, and frenzied content in pursuit of more donations.
"In the apocalypse, the worst of human nature will be exposed!"
At this moment, Ye Feng deeply agreed with this statement.
After watching a few live streams by madmen, despite his own many harrowing experiences, Ye Feng still felt a wave of discomfort. He couldn't imagine what kind of psychological shadow Xiaoxiao would suffer if she saw the videos that he could only quickly close after a single glance.
Therefore, Ye Feng once again gave Xiaoxiao some strict instructions, reminding her to pay attention to the labels when watching videos, and to avoid clicking on those that looked frightening or abnormal, especially those requiring survival coins...
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, listening very attentively.
"Knock knock~"
Just as Ye Feng was explaining a video to Xiaoxiao, suddenly, a message prompt sounded from the [Private Chat Channel].
