[Don't you have an electric wheelchair? Just trust me on this, our Xia Country specializes in this. We'll have off-road tires and shock absorbers installed for you in just three days so your wheelchair can reach a speed of one hundred and twenty miles per hour.]
Ansheng chuckled and typed a message to send to Earl on WeChat.
From the outside, Earl looked like a mountain of flesh sitting on an electric wheelchair, possibly weighing over six hundred pounds, with a steady four-layered chin.
But Ansheng knew that Earl's obese appearance was just a biological disguise, much like Old Lin's Lin Zhe costume; she didn't actually look like that.
She claimed to be on-site, but given Ansheng's understanding of those landlords of longevity.
Earl was likely at some eco-friendly five-star hotel hundreds of kilometers away, groping models' butts.
However.
With Earl's WeChat video, Ansheng was completely convinced that the site submerged in the underground aquatic system in Gold-digging Town was indeed a Second Epoch ruin.
But the specifics were still unclear; for now, one thing was certain.
The local residents seemed to know something about the ruins or, to a certain extent, were aware of the secrets of black fungi and possessed some methods to lure them out.
They might not fully understand; it's possible that after the tribal army's high-level fled, the local residents, lacking medical resources and food.
Used some peculiar remedies to survive and protect themselves, triggering a series of chain reactions.
"I wonder what type of fungal giant tree they'll end up cultivating like this..."
Ansheng shook his head and sent an inquiry message to Li Wenkang on WeChat.
Asking whether Old Li was done dealing with the bodies, and if so, to accompany him on a trip to Africa to dig up the opponents' graves.
The message was sent, but Li Wenkang didn't immediately reply to Master Fuli.
In the rocket launch base, although there wasn't a strict prohibition on internal communication, this mission had a research and experimental nature, and from the moment members entered the base, the use of electronic devices was forbidden.
However, Earl did reply to the message.
A series of ellipses expressed Earl's sincere greetings for Master Fuli's unreliability.
"Alright, let me know when Old Li replies!"
"Get Treasure Tree ready; we might organize a collective business trip soon."
Ansheng waited for a while without seeing a response from Li Wenkang, so he asked the Ba Mountain Mosquito to head back temporarily and watch over the energetic Treasure Tree.
"Okay, godfather....."
The Ba Mountain Mosquito withdrew his gaze from Momo's butt, saluted, and under everyone's astonished gaze, flipped out of the balcony.
"Xiaolan.....are you going on a business trip again?"
Ah Qing ran to the balcony, glanced downstairs to ensure the Ba Mountain Mosquito left vertically, then returned to the bedside, clutching the railing while looking at the little fox.
Ah Qing's cheeks puffed out slightly, her beautiful eyes staring intently at the little fox.
"Hmm.....this time it doesn't involve confidentiality agreements. If you want to come along, it shouldn't be a problem."
Ansheng adjusted his position, crouched on the bed, and spoke to Ah Qing and the gathering Momo.
"But.....the destination is a bit far, located in the west of Tropical Continent, and it's a collection task. It might take two or three days..."
However, before Ansheng could finish speaking, the roommates who had just gathered with sparkling eyes instantly dispersed back to their spots, daydreaming.
"Hey? I haven't even finished talking! Hey! You guys should at least listen!"
A question mark appeared over Ansheng's head as he looked towards Tang You with headphones on and Lingren plugging her ears.
Ah Qing pushed off the ground with her leg, moving her chair to Momo's desk, pulled out her phone, and asked closely to Momo:
"Hmm...Momo, I earned some money last night. My bank card now has a limit; could you help me top up five hundred into the little fox's Fox Kingdom bath VIP card?"
"We'll give Huhu a real cleanup when the little fox returns from the trip...."
Ansheng: "???"
The little fox's work trip, while temporarily depriving the dormitory of its warm-handed fox, made the roommates reluctant.
They even thought of excuses for taking leave when they heard they could tag along, but as soon as they heard of the destination, they immediately backed out.
Going on a business trip to the Tropical Continent?
Afraid that just as you fall asleep, snakes, insects, rats, and ants secretly knock on the door, carrying you silently back home for a wild party.
They often saw videos of large lions opening off-road vehicle doors like cans.
"Absurd..."
Seeing her roommates ignoring her, Ansheng's face showed a few lines of exasperation.
"People aren't what they used to be...." Ansheng shook her head and lay back on Ah Qing's bed, scrolling through short videos.
As the time for the lecture approached.
On the way to the auditorium, Shen Yunxia from the neighboring dormitory nonchalantly approached Tang You, and in a low voice, inquired:
"My friend needs some help with something. Apparently, they were digging a fountain midday, accidentally causing splashes into the computer case, causing a crash. Do you think the computer case is salvageable....."
"That's impressive?"
Tang You looked bewildered at Shen Yunxia, with her mouth twitching slightly.
"I'm asking for a friend..." Shen Yunxia's face showed a determined courageous expression.
"Just throw it away! Luckily, the cat in your dorm might just increase its worth." Tang You shrugged and teased.
"What a pity..." Shen Yunxia said, looking all dejected.
[Ah! This unlucky guy, no idea what he's thinking all day. Playing games, fine, but didn't even know how to lower the muzzle! — Shen Yunxia opening her mouth to complain about her boyfriend's performance, not quite grasping how the splatter reached the graphics card, rendering the entire computer unusable. Should have given him a nuclear GPU back then.]
[Wish Fulfilled: Huhu the Repairman.]
"Leave leave, this wish is too messy..."
At the moment Shen Yunxia showed a helpless expression, a golden light flickered through Ansheng's mind.
Ansheng took a look and was utterly shocked, waving repeatedly to brush the wish out of the door.
Playing games in secret without sharing, causing computer issues, and then seeking his elder brother's help.
"Hmm? What's up, Xiaolan?"
Seeing the little fox on her shoulder suddenly shudder, Ah Qing thought Xiaolan was cold and snugged tighter while inquiring.
"Nothing much, just felt like a dirty thing just flew past me."
"Huh!? Where? Where's the dirty thing...."
Upon hearing this, Ah Qing shuddered, feeling as though her down jacket lost its insulation, and a chill surged from her soles straight to her head, making her scalp tingle.
