After reaching an agreement with Bai, Wen Yu did not linger for long. After a brief discussion about their collaboration, he returned to the Soul Laboratory.
Although it was termed a collaboration, the specifics were rather limited—mainly revolving around information sharing. Wen Yu had the soul puppet legion, which meant his intelligence-gathering speed was unmatched, while Bai, as an ancient monster of the Immortal Heroic World, likely possessed methods that far exceeded Wen Yu's imagination.
Though both parties reached a consensus, it essentially felt like two parallel lines extending towards their respective directions, without interference from one another. After dealing with the unexpected situation involving Bai, Wen Yu resolutely continued to execute his established strategy!
He remained hidden in the shadows, slowly building up his forces. When the time came to amass a large army, Wen Yu would undoubtedly launch a shocking war against the demonic clan in the African war zone!
...
Upon returning to the Soul Laboratory, Wen Yu first greeted Lin Haifeng and conveyed all the information Bai had shared, except for the Rift Device.
The origin extraction device was a significant challenge that Earth was currently facing. Naturally, Wen Yu had no intentions of harboring any selfish motives, lest he make the unwise choice of withholding information.
By the way, Wen Yu also inquired about Tang Haofei's recent situation.
“Not long ago, Tang Haofei died again. We don't know the specifics, but it seems like a suicide. After this incident, his second personality has completely gained the upper hand, and the time the main personality appears is getting shorter and shorter.”
This was Lin Haifeng's exact words.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu immediately dismissed the idea of contacting Tang Haofei—although Wen Yu had never interacted with Tang Haofei's second personality, its erratic behavior was something Wen Yu couldn’t appreciate.
So, dealing with him was a temporary no-go—Wen Yu was doing well farming in Africa and had no desire to get involved in Tang Haofei's own drama. With Tang Haofei's strength, Wen Yu feared that one wrong move could cost him his life.
After ending the communication, Wen Yu opened a mental connection with Victor and One-eyed.
"Other than being a bit busy and tired, everything is fine," Victor's voice carried an indescribable weariness. The past two months of global travel had kept Victor from even stepping out of the European continent. His daily routine consisted of searching for ants, occasionally battling demonic creatures, and chatting with Lolo or the big lion. Although his days were a bit monotonous and tiring, it suited Victor's quiet personality well.
Wen Yu was very reassured about Victor and Lolo.
However, One-eyed left Wen Yu scratching his head.
"Boss, why don’t you come find me to play? I'm not bragging; I helped you take down a chunk of territory. Aren't you going to give me a little reward?"
Wen Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
"What do you want?"
"Just give me two more months of vacation, just two months, how about that?"
Wen Yu could imagine One-eyed making exaggerated facial expressions on the other end of the mental connection.
"What about the Star?"
"Is in seclusion, just staring at the mountain day in and day out, not moving at all. I don't even know what’s so interesting about a bunch of broken rocks."
"Well, don’t just enjoy yourself. By the time I see you again, if your strength doesn't satisfy me, I’ll break your dog legs."
One-eyed fell silent.
After ending the communication with his spirit pet, Wen Yu contemplated for a moment and ultimately decided against mobilizing spirit pets, especially the mutated beast swarm under One-eyed's command.
The beast swarm was not necessarily more useful than the soul puppet legion.
...
After concluding the mental connection with his spirit pets, Wen Yu paced back and forth within the Soul Laboratory. After a while, he paused and initiated another soul connection with a certain presence.
