Di Wu Yue was stunned: "Huh?"

Ying Zijin had already dialed the number, and after a few rings, it was picked up. She spoke, "Hey, it's me."

Xize was taken aback: "Boss?"

Ying Zijin rarely called him on her own initiative, and sometimes when she found him annoying, she'd even put him on a blacklist.

"Got nothing better to do, huh?" Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, "Get over here and pick someone up."

"Alright." Xize was getting dressed as he got up, "Who am I picking up?"

"Someone who owes you a debt."

Xize: "..."

Di Wu Yue, who overheard: "..."

Wuwu, her master was beginning to bully her too.

Di Wu Yue hesitated a bit, speaking softly, "Master, I can shop by myself. There's really no need—"

"Let him accompany you." Ying Zijin spoke again, "What, you don't want to?"

Xize didn't expect Ying Zijin to say something like this directly. He paused: "I'm on my way."

"Hmm, her personal safety is in your hands."

In that instant, the panic and the sense of loss were like wind rippling across a lake, spreading in circles.

His heart would occasionally be stirred.

He had to admit, he indeed had feelings for her.

These past few days he returned to Jade Ice Cui, but hadn't settled his mind.

Xize put on his clothes and instructed Job, "Bring the plane."

As he walked, he opened his phone and sent a rare message to Norton.

[You in the Alchemy world yet?]

[Rascal]: Got something to say?

[Nothing, just letting you know, I should become single later than you.]

There was no reply from the other side.

Xize stroked his chin and sent another message.

[Aren't you really jealous?]

This time there was a response, but it was a red exclamation mark.

[You are no longer his (her) friend. Please have the friend confirm the request before continuing the chat.]

"..."

Truly a rascal.

He'll show him off when he gets the chance.

**

At this moment.

Alchemy world.

Like other alchemists, Norton was also wearing a magician's robe, and a hood concealed his features.

Only when he occasionally looked up, his dark green eyes were as cold as blades, devoid of warmth.

The entire Alchemy world was lifeless, unlike the blue skies and white clouds of the Ancient Martial World.

In such an environment, alchemists had rather eccentric tempers.

"Norton, it's rare to see you again." A middle-aged man approached carefully, "Your alchemy is indeed strong. After all these years, there's been no change to your body or appearance."

"Look at us, our bodies are reaching their limits, about to die."

Norton did not respond, just holding a bottle, silently gazing at the gray sky and dark blue sea.

The sea was also a dead sea, with no living creatures except some alchemical materials.

The middle-aged man, feeling awkward, had to step back.

"How was it?" Another person grabbed him, "Didn't Norton say anything to you?"

"Say what?" The middle-aged man shook his head, "We haven't seen each other for two hundred years, and you know his temperament."

"Arrogant and unrestrained, boasting of talent, he doesn't take anyone seriously except his teacher and that person."

The other person frowned: "True, someone like him, you can only earn his recognition by defeating him."

The middle-aged man pondered: "What do you think he's here for this time? Is that rumor true?"

"You mean—" The other person was suddenly startled, "He's here to kill Mr. Dermont?"

Dermont, the foremost in the Alchemy world.

Everyone wanted to be his apprentice.

In his lifetime, he only accepted two apprentices, one of whom was Norton.

Later on, something unknown happened, and the teacher-apprentice pair parted ways.

"Probably impossible." The middle-aged man sneered, "He's just imagining things. Let's go, no need to harbor warm enthusiasm for cold indifference."

Norton sat quietly for a while longer, then lazily raised his hand and took out his phone.

He opened the chat app and saw that the top conversation's message date ended two months ago.

Truly a workaholic more hardworking than himself; unsure if they still remembered to eat.

Norton's expression was lazy, he lightly dusted off his clothes, and opened the second pinned conversation.

[Boss, get me a mobile app.]

[Boss Lady]: What?

[An app to remind someone to wake up, sleep, eat, and other things, forcibly.]

[Boss Lady]: I suggest you set an alarm, it can meet all your needs.

[Setting one by one is troublesome and can't be forced.]

[Boss Lady]: ...

A few minutes later, Ying Zijin still sent over the prepared app.

Norton's fingers brushed over his phone, and through remote transmission software invented by the Hacker Alliance, he sent the small app to the G country.

Before transmitting, he didn't find it troublesome, but patiently set the reminders one by one.

Get up at seven, lunch at twelve... sleep at eleven.

Norton glanced at his watch, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Just at twelve, he could start.

"Ring ring! Ring ring!"

Sinai was startled awake by the alarm, giving her a fright.

She opened her phone, searched around, and found an app hidden in the folder.

Sinai clicked to uninstall.

The app made no move to uninstall, and the alarm kept ringing.

Sinai frowned slightly, entering a program into her phone, intending to forcibly crush the app through the backend, but still failed.

Charlotte walked in, curious, "Professor Sinai, what's wrong?"

"My phone seems to have a virus." Sinai propped her jaw on her hand, "But aside from this app I can't delete, there's no other problem."

Having studied Mechanical Engineering, although not as skilled as the Computer Science Academy students, her skills aren't bad.

What kind of virus was this powerful?

"Then just get a new one." Charlotte suggested, "It's the weekend, Professor Sinai, you've been working for days. Take a break, let's go out for a walk."

She waved her phone, "I bought two Live house tickets; come on, let's have some fun."

Sinai thought for a moment: "Alright."

This app was strange. As soon as she stopped working, it fell silent.

Like it was monitoring her.

On the other side.

Luonan.

Luo Xiu was carried back.

Such a situation hadn't occurred in the Luo Family before.

Father Luo rushed forward, "Ziqiu, quickly check how your uncle is."

Luo Ziqiu nodded, diagnosed, and then frowned, "Sha energy has entered the body, it's a problem. Even if he wakes up, his abilities might be lost."

Father Luo was dazed, "Huh?"

It was at this time that Luo Xiu slowly regained consciousness, his gaze still vacant.

"Uncle, what happened to you in O Continent, who did you encounter?"
