Why did you provoke me?

Xiao Wen and Liu Wei didn't return to the Alien Battlefield; they went straight back to the Jingchuan Clubhouse. (The Jingchuan Base) was originally going to be renamed, but everyone said they couldn't forget Grandma, so they kept the name Jingchuan.

Secretary Wu was very pleased to see the two of them arrive. "Come in quickly. I've tidied this place up again. You can take a look and give me your feedback later. I just borrowed the Kyoto model for this clubhouse, but I haven't quite figured out the specifics yet."

He was extremely busy during this period. He paid out of his own pocket to go to several big cities. He just wanted to give a home to those who had contributed to the base, but maintaining a home requires expenses, which he didn't have.

There was no other way but to investigate and figure things out, then try to create a prototype by copying it, and then gradually improve it.

Xiao Wen was unaware of these things. After leaving the mountain valley, he served at the base. Apart from missions, the farthest place he went was Yu Meng's home.

"I don't know anything about these things. But you can find someone to help you. You're doing everything yourself. Don't you see how healthy you are? If you collapse from exhaustion, we'll have no chance at all."

"Sigh, people forget you when they're gone. I went to my mother-in-law's connections, but they wouldn't even let me in. They kindly reminded me that the base is gone, so what's the point of all this? And then there were those nasty people who directly started a fight. You don't even deserve to use my mother-in-law's connections."

Xiao Wen was also helpless. "Let's take it slow. In any case, we've managed to find a place to stay after leaving the alien battlefield. At least it's like a temporary home for us, and we want to make it a good place."

Several people entered a room. "This is my old office. I'll tidy it up and then live here. It's a bit messy, please find a place to sit."

I poured water for a few people and asked, "Where have you all been?" You weren't like this when you came back from the alien battlefield.

"We sent it back to the old house in my dreams."

Secretary Wu's eyes lit up. "She agreed to come here?"

Xiao Wen looked at him amusedly, "You seem quite excited?"

Secretary Wu nodded, making no attempt to hide her feelings, "She's very capable, even more capable than my mother-in-law."

As Yu Meng's secretary, Secretary Wu has handled many things and knows much more than Xiao Wen and others. "If she is willing to come, we must keep her, no matter the cost."

There were still things he didn't know. Xiao Wen looked at Secretary Wu and asked, "Could you elaborate?"

Secretary Wu thought for a moment, "Do you know what's already happening on the production line, all swaying gracefully?"

Xiao Wen nodded. Such a big thing, you should know about it, right?

Secretary Wu lowered her voice, "But nobody knows that it was Yu Meng who discovered it. She originally planned to run a training course to pass on the skill of peeling off masks, but someone plotted against her, and all the trainees were incredibly stupid. In the end, only three students remained. However, I have their files." Secretary Wu was a little smug. "When Yu Meng woke up seven days later, I noticed something was wrong with her. She wasn't giving any clear instructions, which isn't like her. Finally, she sorted out the base, and then she quietly disappeared. Xiao Wen, do you know what kind of person she is? She has incredible luck! She's immune to bad luck!"

Secretary Wu sighed. "She was very decisive. It's only been ten days since she woke up from her coma to give up the base. Most importantly, no one knows what she said that made Nangong Tianshou take over the base so readily and without complaint."

They all knew how much Nangong Tianshou hated this base. His mother had poured all her heart and soul into it, even putting him, her lover, second. Yet Yu Meng had managed to make him accept the base. That's real skill!

Back then, it was Nangong Tianshou who delivered the graceful, swaying creature to the Jingchuan base. If he had known that this kind of alien could be put on the production line, given Nangong Tianshou's intelligence, he certainly wouldn't have sent it to the Jingchuan base.

Xiao Wen and Liu Wei were dumbfounded. It seemed they had underestimated Yu Meng.

"Did you know that several major powers fought fiercely over the production line? The production line at the Sky Hunt Base ended up in the hands of the Zhou family from Kyoto. Our production line, however, was acquired by a mid-sized family. Strangely enough, the major powers tacitly approved of this. Think about the oddities behind this."

Xiao Wen pointed at Secretary Wu, "Why didn't you say this sooner? If everyone knew that Yu Meng was such a capable person, who would dare to be rude to her?"

Secretary Wu sat in the chair and said, "What I say goes in your ears, but once it leaves this door, I will not acknowledge it."

Liu Wei touched the two special buttons in his pocket and mentally gave himself a thumbs up for his choice.

Xiao Wen suddenly remembered something, "Where's my box? Let me see what's inside?"

Liu Wei handed over a small bag. Xiao Wen didn't hide it from the two of them and opened it directly. A faint fragrance wafted out, and Xiao Wen's eyes narrowed. He recognized this thing.

Secretary Wu was also surprised, "How did you get this?"

Xiao Wen glanced at him. "You know?"

"Of course, I was the one who found that experimental garden for Qingyuan back then, and Sister Xiu came to the base because the experimental garden was short-handed."

"This is from Yu Meng." Xiao Wen closed the box.

Secretary Wu smiled. "That experimental garden was built at Yu Meng's request. Later, she left, leaving it to Qingyuan. When Qingyuan left, I let her take most of it with her. Later, when the base was disbanded, I gave the last one to Yu Meng. This was a very secretive matter; no one else knew about it."

"So, Yu Meng not only knew about this, but she also orchestrated it?" Xiao Wen was a little surprised.

Xiao Wen knew that the withered branch alien was brought back by them, but he didn't know anything about what happened after that.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself; the question Yu Meng had given them was far too much of a test of human nature.

Liu Wei had been following Xiao Wen around for a while, so he naturally recognized this thing. He suddenly remembered what Yu Meng had said: if they went to rescue Qingyuan, he should go too.

Although he didn't know why, seeing Xiao Wen's furrowed brows, he knew there must be something he didn't know.

Secretary Wu looked at Xiao Wen with a puzzled expression. "This is a good thing, why are you looking so worried?"

Xiao Wen's face was full of bitterness. Was Yu Meng testing them? They had just talked about Qingyuan, and Yu Meng had given him such a big surprise.

After talking to Secretary Wu about some other things, he hurriedly returned to the alien battlefield.

Du Wenhe looked at him in surprise, "Weren't you supposed to stay at the guild hall for a few days? What happened? Why did you come back?"

Xiao Wen didn't say anything, but pushed the two boxes in front of him, "Take a look."

Du Wenhe reached out and opened the box. The contents excited him. "Where did you get this? Do you know any other bone painters?"

Xiao Wen smiled wryly, "I told Yu Meng about Qingyuan, and she promised to come. But when Liu Wei and I were about to leave, she gave me this. I was driving, and I didn't find out what it was until I got to the clubhouse."

Du Wenhe closed the box. "These are the questions she gave us. What do you think?"
