My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

During this time, he had been receiving Ji Yuan's kindness. He allowed him to move, eat, and drink like a normal person, and experience the joys that this world inherently possessed.

She then thought for a moment, took out her phone, and asked Ji Yuan:

What do you want to see them for?

"I have some important matters to ask them. By the way, I'll reimburse you for this cake."

"Oh? Let's forget about the last one. I can pay with my wallet myself."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying immediately refused.

"It's alright, this counts as a business trip, the Star Core Hunters should pay your travel expenses. Since they're not paying, I'll ask for it for you."

Ji Yuan spoke again.

Then he saw Firefly hesitantly open the communication with Silver Wolf.

Soon, Ji Yuan heard Silver Wolf's dissatisfied tone on the other end of the phone.

"Ah~, is it daytime where you are? It's already past midnight here. I fought all night last night, and I'm exhausted. Is something wrong with you? Is your illness cured? I already told Elio and Kafka what you said last time. It's not good that you accepted Ji Yuan's treatment but still went to do surveillance. Elio told me that you don't have to go and monitor Ji Yuan's actions. You can just focus on getting better over there."

""

Ji Yuan looked at Liu Ying.

Despair was evident in Liu Ying's eyes.

That's it, Silver Wolf has revealed everything.

Sensing her silence, Silver Wolf quickly asked her:

"Hmm? Firefly, what happened on your end?"

Hearing Silver Wolf's urging, Ji Yuan immediately said to her, "Entropy loss syndrome is not so easy to solve. Even my teacher and I need some time to prepare. Don't worry, since you sent Liu Ying here, I will naturally make sure she is safe and sound."

After saying this, he looked at Liu Ying, whose expression was filled with despair, and Ji Yuan gave her a reassuring look.

Silver Wolf's words were very clear: although Firefly had come with the task of surveillance, she had never done so, and had instead refused. Faced with this situation, Ji Yuan not only didn't feel angry, but also felt gratified.

At least, I didn't treat an ungrateful person, but rather a normal, honest, and kind-hearted girl.

Seeing Ji Yuan's gaze, Liu Ying's anxious heart calmed down a little.

"You actually came directly to ask for my contact information with Liu Ying."

Silver Wolf's tone suddenly rose: "You actually came directly to ask for my contact information with Firefly. I told you she wouldn't come looking for me for no reason. What are you doing here?"

Ji Yuan stopped wasting words and asked directly, "I've come to you for important business. It concerns my experiment and also Liu Ying's treatment."

"Hmm? What do you need?"

"I need your research on star cores. My teacher hasn't done any research on star cores, and my research is limited as well. You star core hunters have enough knowledge about star cores, and I need your materials to help me."

"Does treating entropy loss require a star core? Okay, I'll go ask Elio." Silver Wolf then left.

During this break, Liu Ying apologized to Ji Yuan: "I'm sorry. Before I came, Kafka asked me to monitor your actions because your presence completely rendered Elio's script useless. We must monitor you to ensure the Star Core Hunter's operation goes smoothly."

After saying that, she quickly explained to Ji Yuan, "Of course, I didn't tell Elio about your actions. I feel that it would be really wrong for me to betray you after you saved me."

"Yes, I believe you. A kind and good girl like you wouldn't do such a thing."

Ji Yuan nodded and said.

Upon hearing his words, Liu Ying's lips curled up involuntarily, revealing her inner joy.

At that moment, Silver Wolf returned.

“Ellio has agreed. Now, contact me with your phone number. This file is quite large; I'll transfer it to you directly.”

"Ah."

Ji Yuan nodded.

He and Silver Wolf then exchanged contact information.

While Silver Wolf was transferring the file, she didn't forget to remind Ji Yuan:

“Ji Yuan, let me tell you, there are signs of activity from the Interstellar Peace Corporation and the Antimatter Legion over there. And there are other energy fluctuations further away. But because of your presence, Elio can't find out any specific information.”

"Well, I'll be careful."

"It doesn't matter if you're careful or not, just don't let Liuying get hurt." After saying that, Silver Wolf seemed to remember something and reminded Ji Yuan, "By the way, Elio told me that there are many giant robots hidden on your planet. Of course, they are not strong enough now, but didn't you learn from Screwgoom? Modifying them shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Okay, thank you for the reminder."

Ji Yuan remembered the marker on the map he had obtained earlier and felt he should go check it out later.

After all, both the Antimatter Legion and the Corporation have a large number of troops, and we need to replenish our forces in this area as well.

"Hmph, just don't die. I don't want someone who can rival my hacking skills to get into trouble."

Just as he finished speaking, the file transfer was completed, and Silver Wolf hung up the phone.

"That guy came to see me first thing in the morning, not letting me get any rest. Sure enough, that guy is a complete bastard."

Silver Wolf grumbled a couple of times and was about to go to sleep. Then, she glanced at her phone and froze completely.

"Ji Yuan, are you looking for death?! I only have 1024 credit points in my phone, and you still transferred 1000 of them to me? Are you even human?"

Silver Wolf almost went berserk.

She immediately typed a 60-second voice message into her phone.

These 60 seconds are not the limit for Silver Wolf, but the limit for voice input.

……

Looking at the voice message on his phone, Ji Yuan didn't open it, but instead burst into laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"Ji Yuan, what are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing his words, Liu Ying couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course we'll reimburse you for the cake you ate. Just enjoy it."

Chapter 168 Encountering the Creation Engine, Encountering an Antimatter Legion's Siege [First Update]

"Is it really good?"

Liu Ying asked Ji Yuan.

She remembered that because of the expenses of playing games and the fact that she didn't usually need money, Silver Wolf's financial situation was worse than hers.

"It's alright. You've come here on official business, so reimbursement is only fair."

Ji Yuan said with a smile.

"OK then."

Seeing the money in Ji Yuan's hands, she knew she would never ask for it back. Liu Ying could only think that once things were settled here, she would find a way to repay Yin Lang and the others with her own money.

Thinking this to herself, Liu Ying felt much better. Looking at the cake on the table, her hunger flared up again. Ji Yuan, watching Liu Ying eat so happily, couldn't help but feel his stomach growl.

Hearing such a sound from his stomach, Ji Yuan looked slightly embarrassed.

Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile. She picked up a knife and cut the cake in half. Then she handed the uneaten half to Ji Yuan.

"Here, have a taste, it tastes great."

Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, then accepted the cake.

"How does it taste?" Liu Ying asked Ji Yuan.

"very good."

"Really? That's really great."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Liu Ying couldn't help but laugh.

After quickly finishing his food, Ji Yuan didn't intend to waste any more time. Both Hanabi and Ginrou reminded him that his and his teacher's experiment was being closely watched. It seemed he needed to hurry.

He took out the medicine for treating fireflies from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Liu Ying, you should rest first. I need to go out for a walk to take care of some things."

"Um, can I go with you to take a look?" Liu Ying thought for a moment and asked Ji Yuan with expectant eyes.

“Okay.” Ji Yuan nodded, but then he changed the subject: “However, I need to call one more person. After all, we are both outsiders, unfamiliar with the place, and it will be difficult for us to find our destination.”

Of course, there is the most important point.

He is afraid of death!

The death buff on himself hadn't been removed, and it was also present on Liuying.

It's too dangerous for just the two of them to get together without anyone else.

"Ok."

Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Liu Ying's expression showed a slight disappointment, but she still reluctantly agreed.

So the two of them went to find Bronya together. Just then, Bronya was dealing with official documents, and upon hearing Ji Yuan's suggestion, she immediately agreed.

"Do you want to go outside the city? Sure."

She had been feeling very apologetic for misunderstanding Ji Yuan, and now that she had the opportunity to make amends to him, she was naturally very happy.

"Well, if you're included..." Ji Yuan had only finished speaking when a voice suddenly rang out behind him. Ji Yuan turned around and saw that it was his younger sister, Su Chang.

"Brothers, what are you doing here?"

Su Chang had been lying in her room and was feeling a bit hungry, so she came out to find some food. She overheard Ji Yuan and Bronya's conversation and saw Liu Ying standing nearby. Intrigued, she decided to come over and see where they were going.

Ji Yuan walked over and patted Su Chang's head, saying to her, "When my teacher and I were doing experiments, we discovered some special areas. We'll take advantage of our rest time tonight to go check them out. After all, I have to start my experiments tomorrow and won't have time to go and investigate in person."

Upon hearing him say that, Su Chang's face instantly showed disgust.

"Brother, you workaholic, you annoying guy who insists on finishing work immediately whenever it comes to it." Su Chang was only halfway through her sentence when Ji Yuan grabbed her cheeks and started pinching and shaping them into various forms. Only after he had finished kneading and squeezing them did Ji Yuan let Su Chang go.

"Alright, you should go to sleep now."

"I don't want to! I want to go with you, brother. You must want to see something interesting, and I want to go with you too," Su Chang said to Ji Yuan, throwing a tantrum.
