When Zhou Yan went out to inspect the mine, the steward in charge of registration told him that many people suddenly came into the mine today. He thought they were workers who had come to apply for the job, but when they registered, they found that 90% of them had heard that they could get free food here and came to receive relief food. The mine has always been a business, not a charity, and these days because of the manufacturing of mecha, it gradually became hard to make ends meet. Who had free money to do charity?

It was only later that they learned that the news of their rescue had spread, so some people thought they could come here for free. The personnel manager was buzzed by the noise and met Zhou Yan to complain to him.

“Worker Zhou, do you still want to bring people back in the future? We don’t keep idle people here. Just those who were brought back today, all of them are skinny and bony, and they can eat, I think they are just here to eat rice.”

Zhou Yan didn’t look at him and said expressionlessly, “You do your own job and don’t worry about anything else.”

Since ancient times, starting and fighting a war is a business that burns money, Zhou Yan used to have supporting fortifications responsible for making money and could spend money without restraint. Now there were no such supporting fortifications, so he also felt strapped for cash.

Zhou Yan knew that he had to keep spending money, but on his way back, he said to Luo Futu, “It seems that this mecha production thing has to be stopped for a while.”

Luo Futu gave him a puzzled look, “What?” He thought for a moment, “It’s not because you don’t have the money, is it?”

“Li Qing drove the A2 and ran out of energy halfway through the trip, but you were able to drive it, and after I came back, I had someone try it out. It was really hard for ordinary people to drive the mecha. In their hands, mecha is just a relatively large steel machine, for Lurian, it would not be lethal. If we don’t find out why, it’s useless to make more mecha.”

But he didn’t have a clue yet…

Luo Futu mused, “You can’t fly a mecha, but a mystic can…. It seems to be a dead end. These weapons were made to be used by Yong. Now are we going to turn them into mystics?”

Zhou Yan looked back at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Makes sense.”

Luo Fu couldn’t help but laugh, “This look on your face…. Do you have an idea?”

Zhou Yan nodded, “Do you remember those two mystics that chased you, the thing I took out of them, still exists in the basement, the shiny band is located in the cervical vertebrae area, near the spinal cord, and when the driver connects with the mecha, it is the neuron connection that is needed. Maybe it has something to do with that.”

Luo Futu still did not understand, “Even if it is related to this, how can it be?”

Zhou Yan gave him a funny look, “Haven’t you read my memory, haven’t you read anything about organ tissue transplantation?”

It was only when he mentioned the word “organ transplant” that Luo Futu found the relevant memories in his mind. His first reaction was to feel disgusted, because organ transplantation seemed very absurd in his mind. Even if Luo Futu could understand that this was the realm of “science”, he could not accept it.

Luo Futu noticed that the smile on Zhou Yan’s face seemed to be a bit mocking, so he realized that Zhou Yan understood his own thoughts, and he couldn’t help but defend himself, “Even if this solution is suitable, it’s just a way to remove the nerve from the Mystic and put it into the Yong’s body, one out, one in, not increasing the number of people who can handle mecha. There is no practicality.”

Zhou Yan shook his finger at him, “No, tissue cells can be cultured in large quantities if the method is right.” He suddenly laughed, “I thought, High Priest, that you’re so smart, you can learn by example, but it turns out that you can’t even use the memories you’ve gained.”

Luo Futu was ridiculed by him, but did not feel angry. Instead, he looked at him very affectionately, “I naturally can not compare with you in this regard.” He carefully recalled how people in Zhou Yan’s time called him, and carefully picked the most common name, “Professor Zhou.”

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, then pursed the corners of his lips and smiled before muttering in a low voice, “Do you know what professor means, just calling me professor out of nowhere.”

“You also underestimate me.”

Zhou Yan did not respond to the question, but said, “But now the money issue is still a big problem, I have to take time to take something to sell.”

“What are you going to sell?”

Zhou Yan didn’t answer as he was thinking, ‘I have a lot of things I can sell, inhibitors, paper…’ He thought about it, and suddenly looked at Luo Futu, who subconsciously hugged his body, “You’re willing to sell me?”

“….” This was a sick thought.

“I am asking you to sell your physical strength to make money, your spiritual power is not restored, from today, you will lead the mystic to produce food and give money to the mining plant.”

–Luo Futu, a natural food-producing mystic, had been forgotten for so long, and it’s a waste of resources for him to be idle.

“You are the first person who dares to use me as a food-producing machine….”

Zhou Yan looked over sideways, “What are you muttering about?”

Luo Futu immediately looked at him with a smile, “I said I would, and I’ll start doing it today. But, how sure are you of your own method?”

Zhou Yan shook his head, “Zero. It’s all conjecture, just an attempt to find a direction, so to speak.”

Luo Futu again did not understand, “Not at all sure, but you seem very optimistic.”

“A little inspiration is sometimes more remarkable than a breakthrough in the field of scientific research, let alone an inspiration with basis.”

With this in mind, Zhou Yan was ready to go back to Kohl Town because all the equipment used for the experiments was at home, but the situation here was too troublesome to leave behind.

“I’ll trouble you to take care of the mining plant for me during the time I go back.”

Luo Futu really did not expect that he would be left behind, and was momentarily stunned, “What?”

Zhou Yan raised his eyes and looked at him, “If there is any situation, let me know in time.”

Luo Futu saw that Zhou Yan seemed determined to leave him behind, but he was too embarrassed to follow him. After all, he was a High Priest and had the idol baggage of being a High Priest so he was silent for a long time. “I have to be with you, there are more and more Lurian raids happening all over the world, if I’m not around to protect you, can you handle it when you meet a Lurian?”

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, “I will drive away A1, even if I meet Lurian, I can still wait for your rescue.”

Luo Futu laughed, “That’s not necessarily true, what if it’s a group?”

“….” This guy, can’t you say something auspicious?

“Crow’s mouth….”

“I’ve never been good at saying auspicious things, but I’ve thought about it well enough that I can’t fundamentally deny it just because I don’t like the result.”

Zhou Yan thought for half a day and sighed deeply, “Okay, I’ll take you along then.”

Luo Futu’s smile now looked sincere, “A wise move. Gabriel and Li Qing are looking after the place, so don’t worry, they managed it well before you came.”

–That was good, but they hadn’t had the “accident” then, so I’m afraid that now…. The master and the servant will have a knot in their hearts.

Before leaving Zhou Yan met Gabriel and Li Qing separately. He wanted to meet them together, but unfortunately Gabriel seemed to be having a falling out and was unwilling to appear in the same picture with Li Qing. Li Qing was also injured as his back was oozing blood and there were whip marks on his hands. Zhou Yan guessed that he may have been taught a hard lesson by Gabriel. This Gabriel was also really rough and really beaten up….

All these have nothing to do with Zhou Yan as the most important thing now was the cultivation and transplantation of the meridian – he didn’t know what the bright band was called, but Luo Futu said the most critical part of Mystic’s body was called the meridian, so he assumed it was the meridian.

It had been a long time since he’d been back to Kohl Town, and it was surprising to see the vicissitudes of a long-awaited reunion as Zhou Yan drove the mecha and Luo Futu sat in the passenger seat, both of them striding into Fifth Street.

Kohl Town seemed to have become even more dilapidated than when he left it. Unlike the booming mining mills, Kohl Town was very cold, and because the town was full of lazy people, the town was like a dying old man, going downhill every day with no future in sight.

… Xiao Ban said last time that he wanted to go to the mine to find a job, but he didn’t know if he went or not. However, Zhou Yan didn’t see him at the mine in the end.

A1 finally stopped in front of Zhou Yan’s house, and he was surprised to find that the place where he had not returned for a long time was not broken. There seemed to be someone cleaning outside the courtyard door.

Zhou Yan gave Luo Futu a puzzled look, “Did Mu Lian come back to help me sweep the floor last time?”

Luo Futu sneered, “She has a maid help her bathe. Why would she be kind enough to help you clean?”

“That’s strange, is there a snail girl in my house?”

The two men walked down the mecha and were looking around when they suddenly heard a “pop” behind them. Something fell on the ground, and a rag was falling under his feet.

“I knew you would come back!”

Zhou Yan opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was pounced on by Bai Yueqing with a sprint to the ground. Zhou Yan almost landed on the back of his head. Luo Futu was also dumbfounded. Since the other party was an omega, he was not prepared. He had forgotten that this Bai Yueqing was once Zhou Yan’s fanboy.

“Oooooooo! My dad said you owed someone money and ran away, and told me not to think about you. He said you were never coming back, I didn’t believe it, and look, you’re back anyway! How could you owe money when you’re so good…. By the way, did you bring this big guy back? What’s this? It’s amazing, Zhou Yan, you’re amazing!”

Zhou Yan froze for half a day and guessed from Bai Yueqing’s jumpy and confusing description that his own yard was probably cleared by him. He raised his hand and patted Bai Yueqing on the back a few times. He struggled to support his body, “Okay, okay, you get up first….”

Bai Yueqing was trying to get up when the collar of the back of his neck suddenly heaved upward, and he was suspended from the ground. Bai Yueqing looked at Zhou Yan in surprise, and then subconsciously turned around to see Luo Futu’s horrible face.

Bai Yueqing almost fainted from the shock. Since he was laughing at Zhou Yan, his laughter looked especially horrible, as if the devil had descended. It was so scary. Luo Futu also was scary, and Zhou Yan actually comforted him…. Look at that action, that expression, had he become an outsider?
