Erin thought that even among Yu Sheng's many bizarre ideas, his latest concept was exceedingly uncanny.

But on the other hand, every idea he proposed carried an allure that made it hard to ignore—after the initial shock and amazement, the little puppet found itself irresistibly drawn to this "creative concept", although it sounded outrageous, eerie, and did not conform to the "basic rules of puppet-making" and "alchemy theories", but...

Shouldn't really try it? Just a try… wouldn't do any harm.

"You see, you also think this idea is good, right?" Yu Sheng guessed her thoughts from the change in Erin's expression, becoming proud, "Not only can the framework be replaced with threaded steel, but I'll also try to use concrete to cast a set of parts for you. It would mingle with the blood much easier than lotus roots..."

Erin paused for a moment before speaking hesitantly, "Isn't this a bit too far-fetched?"

Yu Sheng deadpan: "Clay is soil, and concrete is also soil. That's how I see it."

Erin: "…Yes, right?"

"I should have made a trip to the building materials market when I went shopping," Yu Sheng regretted, "And brought back a bag of cement and some steel bars… Oh, and some professional equipment, like a welding machine and an angle grinder. I wonder if they are expensive."

Erin found none of these terms seemed appropriate for alchemy.

But Yu Sheng did not dwell on this topic for long. He waved his hand: "Never mind, no rush this time. First, get used to this extra body and compile any suggestions for improvements. Next time when I craft a new body for you, I'll strive to make a better one."

He seemed quite excited, as if the task brought him enormous fun.

Then he went to the edge of the platform, calling Hu Li over and pointing to the empty space next to the rudimentary stone hut, resembling a giant matchbox.

"Let's raise the chicks here. I'll build a simple coop for now. After they grow up and the vegetation in the valley has sprouted, I'll let them out."

As he spoke, the ground of the vacant lot trembled slightly, and stones grew from the ground, quickly forming a fence with a water trough and a feed trough inside—not fancy, but functional.

Hu Li blinked, pulled out from her tail, and placed several chicks into the fenced area, then added food to the feed trough and filled the water trough with clean water—her tail really had everything.

As she did all this, the expression on the demon fox girl's face was serious and joyful, even somewhat doting.

It was the doting for future braised chicken legs, grilled wings, mouthwatering chicken, smoked chicken, roasted chicken, and stewed chicken.

"I'll also draw a water channel here later," Yu Sheng said, watching Hu Li taking care of the chicks seriously, discussing his next plan, "There's a water source near the original grove not too far from here. When I come next time, I can bring some more tools and materials to perfect this camp. In the future, this valley will serve as the base for our travel agency..."

"Having a base is quite nice, but the trouble is, you're the only one who can open the door," Erin muttered at that moment, "Whenever Hu Li comes to feed the chickens, you'll need to open the door for her, isn't that a bit inconvenient?"

Yu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly.

Indeed, this was something he couldn't help thinking about recently.

The ability to "open doors" was handy, no doubt, but if he had a team and a "team base" like this valley, then a door that only he could open became a limitation; Erin and Hu Li couldn't enter the valley on their own, which meant, strictly speaking, it wasn't truly a 'base' for all members of the travel agency.

"I've been pondering over this issue," Yu Sheng said as he considered, "It would be great if we could establish a permanently open passage to this valley—one that doesn't need my ongoing assistance, and you all could use."

"Is that possible?" Erin blinked, "It sounds like there's no solution."

"Firstly, this is an Exotic Realm, and all Exotic Realms originally have ways to enter. It's just that the original entry channel for this valley was destroyed and overwritten by me," Yu Sheng analyzed seriously, "So the key lies in how to re-establish this kind of 'public channel.' And secondly speaking of solutions… it's not that there really are none."

Not only Erin, but Hu Li who was busy counting the chicks also perked up her ears, casting a curious gaze at Yu Sheng.

"Savior, do you have a way?"

"There is something you both might remember—you can see and open the door of No. 66 Wutong Road," Yu Sheng reminded them, "Strictly speaking, the door of No. 66 Wutong Road is actually a similar 'gateway'—leading to an Exotic Realm, invisible and intangible to others, but I hold the authority to 'open the door,' and after sharing my blood, you also acquired the ability to open that door."

"Yes, yes!" Erin immediately realized it after Yu Sheng reminded her, but then frowned, "But the door at No. 66 Wutong Road was originally there, right? It has to 'stand' there first before Hu Li and I can open it. But now, there isn't a similar 'door' in this valley—every time we enter, the passage is temporarily created out of thin air by you, and it disappears as soon as you let go."

"What if we find a way to fix this door? Like manually creating a door similar to the one at No. 66 Wutong Road," Yu Sheng said thoughtfully, "Using the alchemy techniques you taught me, theoretically, could we empower it with Power?"

Erin listened blankly for a while before reacting: "Did I teach you that in alchemy?"

"Cough cough, I did use a bit of imagination," Yu Sheng coughed twice, "I think it's feasible—shall we give it a try later? After all, trying costs nothing."

Upon hearing this, Erin thought to herself that it was indeed another classic "let's try" from Yu Sheng; it seemed his unorthodox ideas always ended up here.

This could be called the "Prestige of One Trial."

"There's plenty to do for the near future," Yu Sheng happily concluded, adding a few points to his future action plan, "Building a new body of reinforced concrete for Erin, improving the campsite in this valley, formally setting up the vegetable garden next time, planting crops, drawing a water canal, constructing a stable Teleportation Gate... Thinking about it, the upcoming days will be busy."

As he spoke, he walked to the end of the platform, gazing somewhat entranced at the vast open valley below.

The valley, once ravaged by the entity Hunger, was now continuously reviving—under Yu Sheng's intentional catalyzing, its revival speed far exceeded natural conditions.

The trenches spreading across the land were slowly being filled, the cracked structures on the distant mountains could now see visible healing progress, and the fresh greenery that had initially sprouted around the ruins... had unknowingly spread far.

A faint green hue extended along the undulating terrain of the valley floor, with young grass shoots interspersed with tender bushes, all reflecting the once vibrant life of the valley, which had vanished in the dark depths of the earth and now re-emerged, embracing the daylight.

A sense of inexplicable reassurance welled up in his heart. Looking at such scenery, Yu Sheng couldn't help but smile slightly: "What a great place... truly a great place."

Footsteps approached from behind; Hu Li came over holding two chicks, looking hesitantly at Yu Sheng: "Savior, I want to take these two chicks home to raise, may I?"

Yu Sheng turned around, seeing the demon fox girl staring expectantly at him, her golden-red eyes filled with hope, while the two chicks in her hands chirped softly, appearing utterly carefree.

Yu Sheng curiously asked, "These two…?"

"White Cut and Salt Roasted," Hu Li quickly replied.

Yu Sheng: "…"

They were two chicks that the fox girl had specifically named.

Turns out she wants to keep them as pets!

Not only was his fox in charge of raising chickens, but she had also named her favorite chicks White Cut and Salt Roasted—a fact that Yu Sheng found peculiar. Yet, under the fox girl's innocent and expectant gaze, he eventually suppressed the urge to react sarcastically and simply nodded sternly, "Alright, I'll find a cardboard box for you when we get back; you can keep them on the balcony."

Hu Li immediately brightened up: "Thank you, Savior!"

Just then, Yu Sheng suddenly felt a few vibrations in his pocket, followed by a ringing tone.

He took out his cellphone and saw Li Lin's name appearing on the screen.

However, before answering the call, Yu Sheng paused.

...There's signal?!

There was cellphone signal in this valley?!

Yu Sheng clearly remembered that back when this exotic place was still known as Nightfall Valley, there was no signal here. At that time, Little Red Riding Hood and Li Lin, among others, were trapped here and couldn't contact the outside world.

But now there was a signal? Was this also a change that happened after the "Feast"?

Many thoughts rapidly passed through his mind, and after hesitating for a few seconds, Yu Sheng finally picked up the phone: "Hello?"
