"Lazy... ran away from home, unbelievable!"
By the time Ansheng realized what Wang Qiqi was saying, he couldn't hang up the phone in time and was left with a baffled expression plastered on his face.
"The self-gene cultivation technology, I remember, it's the biotech research done by the Royal Mutual Benefit Group, right?"
Ansheng was speechless for a while before covering his cheek with one hand and asking Wang Qiqi.
"Yes, originally, this technology was mature, even its application was very wide. However, to fully enjoy this technology, it requires cooperation with a major succubus." Wang Qiqi glanced at the busy staff and shook her head, saying:
"Though it's a bit troublesome, we've notified the patients to gather at hospitals across the regions for check-ups."
The chaos caused by the Royal Mutual Benefit Group isn't actually that significant because gene therapy is expensive, only about forty people fell into this big trap.
Although it won't endanger public safety if they are not all dragged to the hospital to get fitted with structural glue, it would eventually frighten people as cybernetic marks occasionally fell off.
"Alright! I won't bother you guys anymore, I'll go fetch Vimal to clean up the mess."
Ansheng hung up Wang Qiqi's call, used his phone camera to take a selfie with the Great Wilderness Capturing Sky Finger, and sent it to Vimal on WeChat, along with the address.
A wet fox, wide-eyed, raised its right hand forming a sword finger pointing directly at the camera.
"?"
Just seeing off Chen Nian, Vimal saw the photo sent by Master Fuli and instinctively shrank his neck, especially feeling a sense of weightlessness on the bumpy sea.
"What... what did I do again?" Vimal waved at his servants in bewilderment, signaling them to prepare the plane, completely unable to comprehend who had annoyed Master Fuli now.
…
Meanwhile, back in Gold-digging Town, after his bath, Master Fuli lay on the bed.
During his bedtime phone-checking routine, Ansheng curiously glanced at Lin Wanying, who was bathing without closing the bathroom door.
"While bathing, why do you always wear that white protective suit? Doesn't it feel hot?"
Lin Wanying was originally a battlefield medic, but with the arrival of Master Fuli, she had shifted to the role of a nanny, currently fully responsible for taking care of Ansheng's daily needs.
"Me? Well... I have a bit of a cleanliness obsession; in the Tropical Continent, I don't dare to undress much."
"The mosquitoes here are fierce; one bite, and it could be malaria or dengue fever, not to mention getting sunburned."
Lin Wanying confidently nodded, saying, "I don't want to come back from a trip all tanned."
"Would a Spirit People be afraid of mosquito bites?" Ansheng retorted with a dark face.
The absurdity of her bathing was beyond his comprehension, having never been to a bathhouse.
But Lin Wanying's baths were extraordinary; after cleaning her bio-suit, she would remove the showerhead, connect water to the air inlet at the back of her head, and let it flow out through the pant legs.
And for drying, she would step outside the car and stuff two hair dryers into her pant legs to start drying.
"Ridiculous..."
Ansheng took out his phone, snapped a picture of Lin Wanying, and planned to share it with Ah Qing and the others when he returned home.
The night went by in silence, until the next day at noon when Ansheng awoke, glanced around the room, and saw Lin Wanying sleeping on the carpet by his bed, covered with a small blanket.
"Rise and shine!"
With a contemplative expression, Ansheng sprang up and gently set foot on Lin Wanying's belly.
"Wow—"
Lin Wanying exclaimed, waking up, bewildered, as she surveyed her surroundings.
"Still sleeping, Old Lin will deduct your pay!" Ansheng teased as he walked to the bathroom, looking at Lin Wanying with amusement.
Last night, arriving at Gold-digging Town when it was dark, and with the Mayflower giving them trouble, Ansheng hadn't yet had the chance to explore the town.
Today, Ansheng scheduled his day to lash the Mayflower organization into mining and casually see if they had any grievances, to gain some Wish Power.
Then, he would buy the local specialties to bring back as souvenirs for Ah Qing and others, while digging up and packing the Spiritual Particle Plant as described by that mother lion.
The Spiritual Particle Plant is quite a treasure.
In spring, it can be harvested for tea plucking; even if the taste isn't great, it could be used as medicinal herb.
If not as medicine, come autumn it can still be used for composting the fallen leaves.
"Lord Immortal Fu, where are we heading now?"
Following Master Fuli's instructions, Lin Wanying drove an off-road vehicle with a canopy, and looked toward Master Fuli.
"First, let's go to the town, get some fries, you can help me take some photos and check-in, then we'll go see the Mayflower."
Ansheng thought for a moment and said to Lin Wanying.
"Checking in at the local scenic spot? Okay, I know where the check-in point is."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanying's head popped up an exclamation mark, indicating she completely understood.
Saying this, Lin Wanying pressed the gas pedal down, speeding towards Gold-digging Town.
However, Lin Wanying's driving became more skewed, as if she was heading into the mountains instead of finding a flat road into town.
"Hmm?"
Noticing the deviation, Ansheng, who was chatting with Ah Qing on WeChat, just revealed a puzzled expression and was about to ask Lin Wanying when he saw watchtowers appearing suddenly along the road ahead.
Lin Wanying didn't care, accelerated, and drove towards the iron-plated factory buildings built with red bricks on the opposite side.
"Boom—"
The off-road vehicle crashed through the factory's fence, Lin Wanying leapt up and kicked a black guy flying, picked up a firearm on the ground, and fired a burst while loudly exclaiming in the local dialect, subduing twenty odd people.
"?"
Ansheng was all question marks, observing the scene without understanding Lin Wanying's actions.
Under three minutes, the battlefield medic single-handedly destroyed a factory, subdued the black guys, and made them squat in three rows like they were taking a graduation photo.
"Alright, Lord Immortal Fu, I found you Naga Country's most renowned scenic spot..."
"You can now get out to take photos and check-in."
Holding an AK47, Lin Wanying ran to Master Fuli and reported in a loud voice.
"The most renowned scenery?"
"Yes, Naga Country is dotted with numerous gold mines, and the most famous scenery here is the bandits..."
"......"
After a brief silence, Ansheng glanced at the black guys squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads, they were all looking fearfully at the one fox and one person, their calves trembling.
"Okay, since we're here..."
Ansheng pushed over a wooden crate, stood on it with his arms crossed, and slightly turned his head to showcase his proud side profile on the phone.
"Very good, magnificent, Lord Immortal Fu..."
Lin Wanying laid on the ground, using a low-angle shot to make Master Fuli look majestic.
Continuing until lunchtime, under Lin Wanying's supervision, the notorious bandits prepared a meal of python and lungfish stir-fry for Master Fuli.
"Alright, you guys better head to the police bureau! The explosive packs on you are quite strong."
Lin Wanying rubbed the explosive packs, one by one wrapping them on the bandits, set the self-destruct mechanisms, and reminded them to remember to report to the police bureau.
The security here isn't great; various villages and towns often suffer bandit raids, usually captured bandits would be killed.
But considering Master Fuli was still around, Lin Wanying chose a more amicable approach to persuade them to do good.
"Up ahead is the second check-in point, there's free lottery scratch cards over there."
"The highest prize is a million francs, the lowest, you might uncover a five-hundred franc IOU!"
Driving into Gold-digging Town, Lin Wanying introduced its unique projects to Master Fuli.
