In the midst of the noise and excitement, Little An remained obedient, constantly peeling crawfish for everyone, and ended up not eating much himself.

It's been a long time, he actually grew a lot taller.

This made Ji Jue sigh with emotion, lamenting the swift passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, it seems like everything has changed.

However, when seeing the silly one still lying on the table sobbing, he felt a sense of ease, hasn't this part stayed the same?

It was really comforting.

Although there were tears, it was nothing more than reluctance. Knowing Wen Wen was determined, how could he still stop her from playing with him forever?

After some drunken mischief, he ended up making himself drunk and fell asleep.

At parting, he packed a lot of stuff and finally got in the car and left.

After bidding farewell to the obedient Little An and Old Zhang, who was strolling back home with hands behind his back, it was Wen Wen who stood there, feeling deeply moved, and when she turned back to gaze at the place that had almost become the Beishan Group's fixed supper venue in the Northern Mountain District, she suddenly felt a pang of melancholy.

Leaving behind the unease and storms of leaving home, in all these years at Cliff City, it just felt like coming home, getting used to it gradually.

Now, having to leave for so long, she found herself missing it the most in her heart.

She sighed softly, looked towards Ji Jue beside her: "If anything happens in the Northern Mountain District, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ji Jue nodded decisively, about to say something, but then saw those sparkling eyes looking at him under the scattered neon lights.

"I'm leaving in a couple of days, don't you have anything to say?"

"Uh… take care on your way?"

"And?"

Wen Wen leaned in closer, her smile becoming more mischievous.

"Well, here, take this."

Ji Jue fished out a farewell gift he had prepared from his pocket, a finger-sized cat pendant, thoughtfully made to look like a keychain. He was just about to speak when Wen Wen already took it.

After some scrutiny, her smile grew even more delighted.

"It's rare for you to make something people like." She fastened it to her belt, "Not bad, thanks."

No, that was actually meant for location tracking and biometric monitoring... At this point, such words couldn't be said anymore.

Let's just pretend it's a decoration!

Ji Jue coughed twice, said solemnly, "Anyway, be safe."

"Then, I'll leave the Northern Mountain District to you." Wen Wen gave him a final pat on the shoulder.

"You've repeated that many times, I know."

Ji Jue sighed helplessly, "Nothing will happen, rest assured."

"No, what I mean is..."

Wen Wen paused, tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, suddenly leaned in, and softly said goodbye in Ji Jue's ear: "I'll thank you properly when I get back."

"..."

Ji Jue stood there, dazed and stunned.

"So, goodbye, Ji Jue."

Wen Wen took a step back, observing his bewildered expression, and with that, triumphantly twisted the throttle, twisted the throttle… wait a minute, why isn't the throttle turning?!

No matter how much she repeatedly tried, the engine remained silent.

Then, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

Her body suddenly stiffened.

Oh no...

"Actually, you don't have to wait until you return, Sister Wen."

That familiar face slowly peeked over her shoulder, tilting its head, examining her anxious look, suddenly grinned:

"How about an advance thank you?"

Once again, looking into those dazzling eyes.

So close.

With much sincerity in the thankfulness.

Through ten minutes of realization, Ji Jue fully felt it.

It's just a pity, the next thanks would be months away.

So, to avoid trouble for Sister Wen, Ji Jue simply decided to receive all the thanks in one go.

As the saying goes, kind words warm three months of spring, hurtful words chill June. A simple thank you is enough to brighten a whole day.

Until he returned to Xinquan the next day, seeing Lou Feng's bloodshot eyes full of resentment after several late nights, did he finally remember...

Oh dear, he seemed to have used the excuse of eating to skip all his work yesterday!

This can't really be blamed on himself.

It's rare for someone to carry the load ahead, wouldn't he be allowed a little peace and quiet?

As for Lou Feng's harsh words, let him say them, one cursing wouldn't cost him a pound of flesh, besides, it's not like he's a petty person, would he even consider making things difficult for him?

Counting on his thick skin to withstand Lou Feng's bouts, Ji Jue smiled breezily, pondering about adding more to his workload, then he saw the motherboard Lou Feng improved over several nights.

Even though Ji Jue was accustomed to being stingy in his initial designs, minimizing costs to the extreme, Lou Feng once again lowered the costs by a quarter with his improved motherboard technology and structure.

At the same time, the difficulty in processing had also decreased by more than half.

For a moment, Ji Jue's mental shoe size grew two sizes in shock, amazing: "How could it be so cheap?"

"Spiritual Quality Science, kid."

Lou Feng sneered, "If it's just to incorporate the newly hatched Spirit of Creation inside the King of Flies, there is no need for spiritual crystals on the motherboard.

The mercury purified by Fluid Alchemy is sufficient. As long as you integrate the spiritual quality during the purification process, it can complete the fusion. The relevant techniques are already written on the desk, take a look later."

"Will it be malnutrition?" Ji Jue seemed rather cautious about this.
