The issue at hand reminded Zhou Yi of his ten-year wandering journey under the Dead Sea.

There was no one to talk to.

Whether it was a monster attack, an encounter with a Light Burst, or finding something interesting, no one could share or discuss it with him.

Only the samurai crab was there to accompany him.

They fought, ate, and carried out orders.

But that was all they could do.

That was when Zhou Yi felt closest to being a monster.

Every day was about hunting, guerrilla warfare, and dealing with prey's counterattacks.

His emotions were completely flat.

He grew increasingly numb.

He began to mimic the old-timer Robinson by talking and chatting with the samurai crabs. They couldn't respond or understand at all; it was really just Zhou Yi talking to himself.

But this helped him maintain a semblance of normality.

Until he later landed ashore, and the first conversation by the campfire with A-Jin restored his former feelings of joy and sorrow.

Humans are indeed social animals.

Zhou Yi realized this through personal experience.

He restored Night God to her original state and told her her own password.

"Eh? Why didn't you just control me directly?"

She looked puzzled, with some suspicion: "Are you implying… in your eyes, I'm not worth it?"

"..."

Zhou Yi initially intended to display his integrity and forthrightness, but her words made him forget his prepared lines.

"…I just didn't want to lose another friend."

"Are we friends?" Night God asked.

"I think we are."

Zhou Yi said, "In this era, making a friend is very challenging… I didn't realize it before, but after the world collapsed and I was the only old human left, I discovered that being alone means life just endlessly repeats, and having friends was precious."

"I don't want to casually lose another friend."

Night God sighed: "We're really alike… Both finding ourselves alone and isolated when we woke up."

She said earnestly: "Zhou Yi, as long as I am alive, you will always be my friend, and you can come to me anytime."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Same here."

Night God showed a happy smile.

Small talk over.

Zhou Yi returned to the main issue: "Tell me, is the cannibalistic mechanism confirmed gone now?"

Night God immediately connected with her main body, her left pupil turning bright red, and her right eye turning pitch black.

That inhuman coldness reappeared.

This time, a slight joy appeared in her eyes: "It's really gone! That hunger for devouring people is truly deleted and switched off!"

"So, if that's the case, couldn't we turn off a few other unwanted things… Let me try this piece of information."

After saying this, Night God suddenly stiffened.

She seemed to be frozen in time, becoming a lifelike human statue.

Zhou Yi had to use the information code to restart her.

"Phew! I almost didn't make it back."

Night God showed a look of lingering fear, touching her chest: "Turns out I can't directly use this control code myself… Only external Consciousness can use it."

Zhou Yi mused that this was of course the case.

The designer must have thought of this problem.

If Night God was considered an artificial life created from Gem Cells, surely her own access had to be locked down to prevent her from modifying herself and breaking through established constraints.

Edit permissions must be in the hands of an administrator.

Night God looked over: "You help me."

"Okay."

"First, I want to remove the constraint of not being able to swear. I can't even think of those words, which is fine for the believers but feels awful for me. Seeing you all able to swear, I'm really envious. At least I should be able to curse privately…"

"Indeed."

Zhou Yi thought.

The dirty talk mode was something people generally felt a need for.

"Also, I want a fixed form, but bodily constraints force me to adapt to everyone I interact with, which is cumbersome. Like you all, meeting dozens to hundreds of people daily, and having to change outfits each time is exhausting…"

"Got it."

Zhou Yi pondered.

Having to wash several times a day and switch to different makeup for different scenarios was indeed tiresome.

"And then there's the mechanism that if I don't return here for too long, I'll be forcibly summoned back, which is annoying. No one is waiting for me at home, so what's the point of returning…"

She listed many customization requests.

Zhou Yi immediately activated the information code and started making manual changes.

Dirty talk, on!

Transform mode, off!

Return home restriction, off!

But after modifying only these three items, Zhou Yi received a message.

[Due to excessive usage, this information code has entered a 100-year dormancy period to prevent abuse. It cannot be used during this period.]

Damn.

Apparently, frequent modifications would be restricted too.

A 100-year limit is too long...

Zhou Yi informed Night God of the situation.

She was somewhat regretful: "Had I known, I would have chosen more important ones… What a crappy mechanism, the designer is awful! Why doesn't he set this up in his own brain!"

"Eh, I can swear now!"

She suddenly became excited: "You bastard, you son of a bitch, they're all bastards, screw you…"

Night God began spewing curse words, all explicit and not suitable for children. She was like a child just learning to swear, her face flushed with excitement.

At least three restrictions were lifted for her.

It wasn't a total loss.

Zhou Yi glanced at the black diving watch on his left wrist.

The dial indicated that although he had been on the Moon for some time, seventeen days had passed on Earth.

He had to go back and check things out.

Although Yuan Xiao had become quite adept at coordinating different departments during his absence, this was an unexpected situation, and he wasn't sure what impact it might have had on the company.

Just as Zhou Yi was preparing to return, Night God suddenly said: "I found a way, Gemstone Transformers can be extracted!"

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"I activated the body and discovered it could connect to the Gem Pool, making some alterations inside to remove the damaged parts and foreign objects."

"Although a Gemstone Transformer is also a life formed from Gem Cells, it isn't compatible with the Gem Pool. That requires a Heavenly Peoples' body to connect, other things are unnecessary."

Night God waved a small fan: "Only the Heavenly People cannot be extracted, they simply expand by adding more inside."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up: "Give it a try."

"It might take some time."

Night God said: "This is my first time attempting something like this, it may not go smoothly."

And so they got to work.

She activated the body.

The Gem Eyes slowly rose from the transparent ceiling, hovering above the twin towers. Each pupil overlapped until only two were left, one black, one red, forming a resonance with the twin towers.

In the Gem Pool beneath the twin towers, a bulge slowly emerged.

It was the Gemstone Transformer, shaped like two interconnected forks.

Zhou Yi was elated.

He immediately muttered the information code.

The Gemstone Transformer shone brightly, floating above Zhou Yi's head, remained suspended.

It worked!

Zhou Yi started examining it right away.

This Gemstone Transformer had simple characteristics, with only the abilities of [Capture] and [Seal]. Being made of Gem Cells, it could construct a huge net-like structure to capture targets using energy.

But due to its special gemstone structure, analyzing it was not easy.

Xiao Fu suggested: "Using the Molding Fire Platform for a long-term analysis should yield more information. We can take it back for secret research."

However, this was a bit too conspicuous.

Since the Gemstone Transformer was captured by the Moon, it should stay on the Moon. Here, it wouldn't be under the control or influence of the Heavenly People.

When needed, it could support Earth from the Moon.

Zhou Yi reflected that since the Transformer had managed to chase from Earth to the Moon, it implied it had extraordinary speed or special long-distance travel ability.

Xiao Fu said, "I don't know much about Transformers. Reverse Flow contacts usually only reach Light Core Bodies because there are few Transformers, and each one is extremely dangerous."

"But if they moved here quickly, it's likely through a space portal. We usually capture ground portals, but there are also Space Bubbles and Space Holes around celestial bodies. They find those coordinates, allowing rapid travel between celestial bodies."

Zhou Yi thought that made sense.

Gemstone Transformers had suddenly appeared above the Moon.

Probably because there's a space portal in that region.

But controlling Transformers required high proficiency and practice. Zhou Yi had spent considerable time and effort to master the movement of Heavenly People's bodies.

He told Night God: "You take charge of operating this."

"Okay."

Night God readily agreed: "If you need it, just call me, and I will fly it to you."

"Sure."

Then Night God ran to the Moon's surface and began playing with this massive drone.

The Gemstone Transformer started flying and navigating over the Moon.

The Moon People on the ground scattered in panic, thinking the Death Cult had sent a super monster. They all hid underground, not daring to show their heads.

Next.

Zhou Yi sent Cat God back to check things out.

This Concept Life reported back: "Everything is normal with the company, no other anomalies."

"Except Da Vinci said the patient named Wu Er, who had an appointment at the exhibition, is undergoing organ repair surgery. But his identity is not ordinary…"

"Someone at the company recognized him. They identified his true identity."

Zhou Yi asked: "Who is Wu Er?"

"He is Freedom Army leader Zhang Zhi, who has fought with Mutants for many years. The ones who recognized him are the Qian Ping and Qian An brothers from the Sub-Dragon Bay Laboratory. They used to be in the Freedom Army."

Zhang Zhi?

Zhou Yi suddenly remembered.

Back when the Olympic Sports Center was known as the Deathmatch Arena, Heavenly Kingdom used it to secretly research and cultivate Mutants. Two Skywalker Mutants emerged from it, one was Wu Gang, the other was Zhang Zhi.

Wu Gang led the Mutants against Heavenly Kingdom, striving for legal rights and status for Mutants, but was killed by Skywalkers sent by Heavenly Kingdom.

Zhang Zhi then disappeared into the Outer Sea, leaving no trace.

Turns out he had returned to the Inner Sea after years of hiding, achieving what Wu Gang had never managed.

Zhou Yi became intrigued.

"Let's go, let's meet this Freedom Army leader."
