"Huh? It's her!"
After opening the [Private Chat Channel], Ye Feng was quite surprised because the person who sent him a message was Yan, whom he had been thinking about today.
"What have you been up to lately? Still exploring everywhere?"
Yan sent a rather casual greeting.
"Mhm~ Do you need to buy sanitary pads again?"
Ye Feng quickly replied.
"Not for now. Oh, speaking of sanitary pads, I received a gift yesterday, and it happened to be sanitary pads, and the brand is the same as the one you sold me!"
"This is the first time I've received sanitary pads of this brand from someone other than you. It seems the other person also found someone to buy them!"
"Could that person just happen to be you!"
Yan sent three messages in a row.
"No way… Is the Grand Runesmith of the City of Arcane Arts that Han Qiuli mentioned really Yan?"
Although Ye Feng had suspected this when Han Qiuli mentioned giving sanitary pads to someone today, he was still truly shocked when he saw Yan's message.
Of course, Ye Feng would never admit it. His current strength was still somewhat weak, and exposing himself would only increase his risk.
Although the relationship between the two was good, it was still limited to transactions…
"No, I haven't sold sanitary pads to anyone recently. I'm preparing to explore a place full of zombies and am buying things everywhere!"
"I got those sanitary pads from opening a Mithril Treasure Chest, and there were quite a lot inside~"
Ye Feng quickly replied.
"Mithril Treasure Chest… I've opened several hundred, and I have indeed seen sanitary pads, but not of this brand. It seemed to be called Yidu Kongjian…"
"I've opened quite a few Gold Treasure Chests as well, and I haven't seen this brand either!~"
A few seconds later, Yan replied.
"Come on…"
Yan's reply left Ye Feng speechless.
Immediately, Ye Feng replied again: "The items inside Mithril Treasure Chests seem to be quite strange, a bit of this and that. I've also seen different brands of sanitary pads. It might just be a coincidence that I happened to open a Suxiao sanitary pad~"
"By the way, when you open Gold Treasure Chests, have you gotten any top-tier supplies?"
After a pause, Ye Feng changed the subject and asked a question that interested him.
"Tank, yacht, helicopter, Xuan-tier Rank 7 mecha…"
This time, Yan paused for a while before sending the message.
"So many good things!"
Seeing the items Yan listed, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. When he saw the last item, his eyes lit up.
Xuan-tier Rank 7 mecha!
This was the first time Ye Feng had heard of such a classification for mechas, and it was the same as the classification in the Huozhonglu. He was both surprised and curious.
"What level of mecha is this Xuan-tier Rank 7 mecha? It sounds very advanced!"
Ye Feng quickly sent a message.
"It is indeed a good mecha. The mechas currently sold in the Mecha City are all mediocre, not even qualifying as the lowest-grade Huang-tier!"
"The mecha ranks, from low to high, are Huang, Xuan, Di, and Tian. Each major rank has nine sub-ranks, called tiers!"
"This Xuan-tier Rank 7 mecha is indeed quite good based on its combat power of three."
Yan sent another string of messages.
"As expected… the true classification of mechas is in the Huozhonglu!"
Seeing Yan's message, Ye Feng was very happy.
After that, for some reason, Yan no longer mentioned sanitary pads. The two chatted about mechas and treasure chests for a while longer.
Finally, Yan specifically warned Ye Feng not to attempt to obtain Gold Treasure Chests if his strength was insufficient.
This was because Gold Treasure Chests carried strong arcane energy fluctuations, which would attract powerful monsters to guard nearby…
"She's also a survivor, but this person named Yan is too unbelievable…"
"The Grand Runesmith of the City of Arcane Arts? Opened so many Silver Treasure Chests, and even quite a few Gold Treasure Chests…"
"I already feel quite powerful with my system and development, but this Yan… In such a short time… Did this person really transmigrate to this residual fire world at the same time as me…."
After chatting with Yan, Ye Feng was filled with many doubts.
…
Late at night,
In a heavily guarded room above the Tyrannosaurus Rex Trading Hall,
"Father, it's confirmed. The intelligence we obtained earlier was indeed problematic. The monsters in this Red Bank Ruins are mostly related to fire."
"The Xu family not only concealed this point in the intelligence they provided before, but also claimed that there were many ice-elemental monsters, telling us to prepare more weapons related to fire-attribute arcane energy!"
"This is simply a trap to harm us. Using fire-attribute arcane energy guns against fire-attribute arcane energy monsters will not only be ineffective but will also enrage them, making them even more ferocious!"
Han Qiulian said as she spread a stack of documents on the table in front of Han Qianxing.
"The fire-attribute arcane energy monsters in the Red Bank Ruins… this should be the reason Xu Xun went to buy ice-elemental arcane energy guns!"
After a pause, Han Qiuli added.
At the same time, she felt a sense of lingering fear. If Ye Feng hadn't accidentally clashed with Xu Xun, their scheme might have succeeded.
"The Xu family did conceal intelligence, but Xu Xun going to the Tyrannosaurus Rex Trading Hall to buy ice-elemental arcane energy guns may not be for dealing with the fire-attribute monsters in the Red Bank Ruins…"
"Based on my understanding of Xu Kuang, he wouldn't be preparing weapons at this critical juncture… It was very coincidental that Luo Ming came to the Tyrannosaurus Rex Base to sell arcane energy guns…"
"Xu Kuang having Xu Xun buy ice-elemental arcane energy guns is likely not for dealing with fire-attribute monsters; he probably doesn't want us to buy them…"
Han Qianxing pondered for a moment and slowly said.
"This…"
Hearing her father's analysis, Han Qiuli frowned.
"Since that's the case, Lili, let's play along and prepare a generous gift for the Xu family!"
A sharp glint flashed in Han Qianxing's eyes as he said in a deep voice.
…
The next day,
Ye Feng was holding the Huozhonglu while fiddling with the intermediate protective mecha that had been refreshed in the [Shop].
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao was watching curiously beside him, holding a baby bottle filled with milk powder, drinking it with a contented expression.
It turned out that the milk powder refreshed in the [Shop] yesterday was for infants. After Ye Feng explained the milk powder to her, Xiao Xiao found it delicious. Then, she somehow got a baby bottle, mixed the milk powder, and happily drank it…
"Beep, beep, beep!~"
Suddenly, the infrared alarm set by Ye Feng emitted a soft alarm.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly put the Huozhonglu and the intermediate protective mecha into his spatial warehouse.
"Knock, knock, knock~"
A moment later, a knock on the door was heard from the living room.
"Mr. Zeng, it's Han Qiuli!"
Then Han Qiuli's voice followed.
