In the void, the ship sped swiftly, while Howard had already reported the work progress to the headquarters of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union... or rather, to someone.
"The big boss didn't say anything else. Although he was somewhat disappointed that I accidentally killed that little ancient demon, it seems he doesn't take this matter too seriously," Howard said.
"And stop fiddling with that little guy; he's much more valuable than that little ancient demon!"
After laughing and speaking to Stewart and Sun Ye, Howard reminded Sun Ye to take good care of the baru demon beast, then walked to the small fridge and took out a bottle of champagne.
"So, brothers?"
He raised the champagne, gesturing to Stewart and Sun Ye. Stewart merely lifted his glass filled with red wine toward Howard, while Sun Ye looked at the baru demon beast sealed in the small sphere with a face full of awe, his tone filled with admiration.
"Can you imagine this guy, being released, is several thousand meters long?"
As soon as he said this, it immediately extinguished Howard and Stewart's interest in celebrating. The two sat back on the sofa, expressionless, listening to Sun Ye describe how powerful sealing abilities really are.
Until in the distance, a vague, inconspicuous black light suddenly streaked across the sky and attached itself to the hull of the ship.
The three inside the ship remained oblivious, and the ship, carrying Howard and the others along with an unexpected guest, headed rapidly toward a certain continental plate in the Eighth District.
About three hours later, the ship finally stopped at the edge of a continental plate.
...
Eighth District Continental Plate No. 0013.
It is one of the important plates of the Eighth District Main Battle Zone and also the well-known headquarters of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union.
There are three major cities on it, with abundant outdoor resources enough for self-sufficiency—this location clearly shows how much trust Wen Yu placed in Bai.
Unfortunately, it seems someone has disappointed Wen Yu's expectations...
Howard and the others streamed out of the ship, then got into a car, heading straight for the office building of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union. However, none of them noticed a figure hidden in parallel space standing on top of the car, enjoying a free ride while observing everything that Bai had built.
Flourishing, prosperous, lively, powerful, teeming with vitality.
All the beautiful adjectives that describe a city could apply to this city called "Lone Walker's Home," a land full of opportunities and miracles.
It also symbolizes Bai's abilities.
There is no denying that Bai is undoubtedly one of the smartest and most capable people Wen Yu has ever seen—praise for Bai need not be elaborated upon, as can be seen from Wen Yu's repeated assistance to Bai and Bai's several instances of helping out.
Wen Yu even felt that if Bai's heart weren't so restless, he could very well become his right-hand man!
Not the digitized Lin Haifeng, nor Fran, or Tang Haofei... but the real deal!
The two share similar worldviews and paths...
Yet the world is wonderfully strange; similar people often do not become friends but instead form a complex relationship known as "arch-nemesis."
This is likely the repulsion of the same sex...
...
The car was moving slowly, and Howard and the others were still chatting excitedly inside the vehicle—Sun Ye was talking, while Howard and Stewart wore expressions as if they wanted to die.
Until the car entered the headquarters building of the Lone Wanderers' Mutual Aid Union and pulled into the parking lot, the three finally got out of the vehicle and headed straight for the elevator.
After inputting a series of complex passwords, accompanied by the roar of the machinery, the elevator quickly descended until it stopped at a floor not indicated on the elevator panel.
As the elevator doors opened, a simply decorated spacious hall came into view.
"Welcome back."
The voice came from not far away, where Bai, dressed in white, was sitting on a sofa, holding a computer with one hand while watching an unknown TV program, and holding a wine glass in the other.
