Chapter 93: Oh No, Found It!

~7 min read 1,290 words

No one understands Huo Junze better than Mo Mishu; a single glance or a furrow of his brow is enough to guess what he is thinking.

"Boss, have you taken a fancy to the value of this shop?"

Huo Junze's gaze was deep and inscrutable, and he looked somewhat serious.

How strange.

A small shop could actually make the boss show such a serious expression!

"It might exceed your imagination."

The veins on the back of his hand pulsed as his fingertips tapped against the tabletop.

In the quiet office, his low voice, tinged with a hint of urgency, rang out.

"Track the address where this shop is registered, lock onto the Light Brain, and contact the user." He then looked at him earnestly, "You handle this personally."

"Understood, President."

After giving the order, he stood up and walked out, and Mo Mishu hurriedly followed.

"Boss, the meeting later..."

Huo Junze, in front, did not look back, "Postpone it. You act as my proxy; I am going there myself."

When Mo Mishu heard him say this, he knew that within three minutes, he had to get this address for him.

"Understood, President."

Just as Huo Junze entered his spaceship, he received the location sent by Mo Mishu on his Light Brain.

His efficiency truly did not disappoint him.

Yet, when he looked at the coordinates, he still frowned.

How could it be in the Wasteland Garbage Dump?

Aside from mountains of trash and a severely polluted environment, that place could be described as nothing but a wasteland.

No one would ever associate the Wasteland Garbage Dump with plants.

Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

He became increasingly curious about the person behind this.

(Ruan Mian: Bro, you're overthinking it.)

The spaceship traveled at a very high speed, jumping across two Space Folds, and the scene that appeared before him was a cluster of desolate planets.

It was pitch black; no light could be seen on the planets.

It didn't look like a place with high technology, so, filled with doubt, he locked onto the signal emitted by the Light Brain and headed toward the planet at full speed.

Even Lu Yi had not expected that he would attract the attention of the higher-ups so quickly.

Otherwise, once the Signal Jammer was turned on, how could he have possibly found his way here?

Even now, after Huo Junze had landed, he still couldn't find any sign of people.

The three Defense-type Simulation Humans he brought with him had all been sent out to scout, but no information had been transmitted back.

Could it be that the address Mo Mishu gave was wrong?

Or was it that the person behind this used some other technology to shield their signal? Or perhaps, they used a fake account?

Using a fake account is strictly forbidden; once discovered, one will be arrested immediately. This is a crime.

A person can only bind one account.

It is equivalent to a person's identity card; under what circumstances could one use someone else's account?

That's right, it must be linked to criminal acts like murder.

Huo Junze couldn't help but knit his brows.

He suddenly felt a trace of doubt about his decision to come here.

Suddenly, his Light Brain captured a signal: it was a spaceship, flying rapidly toward this location.

Could it be that shopkeeper?

The Light Brain had already listed all the information about that spaceship.

A small, private, ordinary spaceship with zero attack power, and it was registered.

It posed no threat.

The spaceship landed straight down not far from Huo Junze.

A young woman stepped out from it.

She was smiling and talking to her Light Brain as she walked over.

When she saw him, she was visibly stunned for a moment.

Her eyes revealed an expression he was incredibly familiar with—it was the kind of appreciation for his appearance.

Nonsense, such a top-tier handsome man is hard to see even in daily life, let alone in such a godforsaken wasteland.

"Hello."

Not knowing the situation or the identity of the girl in front of him, Huo Junze chose to hold his position and figure things out first.

Not expecting such a handsome man to take the initiative to greet her, Ji Jialin was also stunned, feeling a little flutter in her heart.

"Are you here to look for Ruan?"

Halfway through her sentence, she contradicted herself; she had been here several times and had never seen this handsome man, as it had always been just Ruan alone.

Moreover, looking at the man's attire, he looked very expensive and was clearly out of place here.

He didn't seem like a friend of Ruan.

"No, no, you don't look like one either..."

If he were a friend Ruan knew, then why would she still be living in this place alone?

It was both remote and desolate.

"I get it, you must be here to look for something just like me!"

Otherwise, who would come running to a place like this with such eager eyes?

Hearing her say this, Huo Junze had no intention of revealing anything, and this reason was also reasonable.

He was very interested in the Ruan mentioned by her.

"Mm, pretty much!"

How could looking for a person not count as looking for something?

"Then you can go take a look at Planet Three; that's where all the recent trash is piled up, you shouldn't be able to find anything here."

After saying this, she didn't care about anything else and strode forward.

A handsome man is certainly important, but only food is real!

No one can affect the speed at which she eats.

Huo Junze still wanted to pry something out of her, but he saw that she simply ignored him entirely.

He watched as this girl walked not far away and pulled a bell out of a small, upright iron box.

It rang with a clinking sound.

With a creak, like the sound of a door opening, a door suddenly opened in the empty space before him.

It was enough for people outside to see a different scene.

So she had used a Signal Jammer!

No wonder he couldn't find it.

It's just that this Signal Jammer was a bit too advanced; even his detector hadn't been able to find it.

"Ruan! I'm here! What good food is there today???"

As soon as Ruan Mian opened the door, she saw Ji Jialin's excited face, and she guessed that besides her, no one else would come at this time.

"Didn't you just pack two meals to take back yesterday? You finished them already?"

When mentioning this, a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

"I originally wanted to save them for today, but I really couldn't help myself when I got back, and I accidentally ate them all..."

I just took a bite here and a bite there, and for some reason, I couldn't stop, and then they were gone.

However, Ruan Mian didn't mind; she came to deliver money to her, and who would complain about having too little money?

"Then should I eat a little less today?" Ji Jialin was afraid that she would think she ate too much and was a bother, and wouldn't make food for her anymore, so she asked while cautiously watching her expression.

Ruan Mian smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, even if you eat to your heart's content, you won't bankrupt me!"

"Really? That's great! Ruan, I love you to death!"

A big hug almost choked her neck.

Just as the two were laughing and joking, Ruan Mian's gaze suddenly met the man not far away.

Suddenly, her body stiffened, her heartbeat accelerated, and her breathing even stalled for a moment...
