"Of course..."

Halfway through the fantasy, Yuanbao quickly shifted the topic back.

"So far, the portable reality stabilizer is still just a concept of mine, and there are still many issues to resolve."

"For example, how to enable it to distinguish between friend and foe, how to address the reality stabilizer's exaggerated energy consumption..."

"If these problems aren't solved, no matter how powerful the fantasy is, it's still just a castle in the air."

Yuanbao pointed to the forge on the rooftop nearby.

"That's why I stay here... Only by living alone can I avoid disturbances from others and focus all my energy on research."

"Of course, I'm inherently not fond of socializing with people. Just having a small house, a warm bed, ample food and clothing, not needing to be awakened by an alarm to go to work or study, and being able to do whatever I want..."

"As long as I can live like this, I'm already satisfied."

To put it bluntly, that's still being a shut-in.

Yun You saw through Yuanbao's thoughts, but only smiled without exposing her, merely asking softly, "How long do you think your first phase of experiments will take?"

"About a week, I guess."

Yuanbao glanced at the roaring furnaces, estimated for a moment, and then gave an answer.

"In a few more days, I should basically understand the operating logic of the reality stabilizer, and won't need to keep observing that crystal all day long."

"Why, do you have other plans?"

Yun You nodded slightly in agreement but didn't directly speak.

She glanced at Tian En beside her with the corner of her eye, hesitated for a while, then leaned in close to Yuanbao and whispered, "I plan to find a way to escape within two weeks, and I can take some people with me."

"If you want to leave, it's best to quickly finish what you're doing."

Hearing this, Yuanbao was momentarily stunned, looking at Yun You in shock.

Escaping from the Floating Island Fortress is no easy task.

Positioned near the Karman line, it is a nearly hundred-kilometer barrier from the ground, with an incredibly hard outer shell, surrounded by satellite defenses and guards, making it as solid as a fortress.

Others had tried to break out before, but most couldn't even break past the first line of defense—the walls of the Floating Island Prison, let alone breach the outer satellite network and the numerous defense troops.

So, even if a large-scale riot occurred on the island, outsiders would see it merely as a minor scuffle, unworthy of mention.

The only way out is to use one's influence to pressure the prison to release the prisoners.

However, that usually only gains freedom for one or two people, unlike Yun You, who intends to take "some people" along.

Having lived on the Floating Island longer than Yun You by more than half a month, Yuanbao knows how difficult and unbelievable such a feat would be.

Just two weeks ago, a Tier Three Apprentice Death God, once a formidable force outside, attempted to escape. He spent nearly ten years digging a passage through the wall by hand, only to be incinerated by a laser array as soon as he broke out during a stormy night...

And that was a Tier Three Apprentice Death God! With enough effort, he might have become the Lord of the City in Nest City, but on the Floating Island, he died so easily and so worthlessly.

Yuanbao witnessed that Death God's tragic fate firsthand, and her thoughts of jailbreak vanished without a trace, not daring to entertain such ideas again.

"Don't worry, when I say it's possible, it is possible."

Yun You smiled, not offering further explanation.

When she received the task from Old Jin, he provided two escape plans.

The first relies on the "Security Password."

On the 15th and 25th of each month, the prison management delivers supplies to the Floating Island, including a one-time phone drop on the 25th for contacting the outside world.

Old Jin had arranged everything; as long as Yun You speaks the Security Password over the phone, the prison management sends people to escort the little girl away.

But this method is merely a backup since Yun You cannot use the Security Password to take others with her, only herself.

Therefore, Old Jin prepared a second plan for her.

Act during the "natural disaster."

It's said that due to the Death Domain's influence on the real world, every few years, a massive "Lightning Storm" forms beneath the Karman line, often covering an entire continent and lasting for over three days.

The Floating Island's airspace is precisely within the Lightning Storm's range.

During this period, the Floating Island loses all external contact, as satellites and floating batteries retreat for maintenance.

In other words, the Floating Island enters a completely "ungoverned" state; even if someone escapes, they won't be pursued.

Yun You's plan is straightforward: after locating that mayoral candidate, she waits for the Lightning Storm to descend, then, when the timing is right, uses the powerful "Dragon Gun" to blast through the Floating Island's outer shell and evacuate with her group.

Although the prison has the authority to pursue escapees, as long as they return to Nest City, no matter how far-reaching they are, they can't bypass the formidable Old Jin.

However, the plan is risky; if, for some reason, they miss the Lightning Storm, Yun You would have to abandon it and face the prospect of a riskier plan.

So after much contemplation, the little girl ultimately didn't disclose the plan to Yuanbao.

"Alright... then."

Yuanbao shrugged, not pressing further.

"You go on with your own things, I will catch some sleep. Today's workout was really exhausting..."

With that, she waved her hand, opened a folding bed right on the rooftop, and comfortably lay down.

Seeing this, Tian En sensibly went downstairs, but Yun You didn't leave immediately.

"Not joining me?"

The little girl leaned against the work table, holding a chilled soda, and wasn't overly cautious.

Their mutual benefits and favors made them akin to friends.

Between friends, there's naturally no need for excessive formalities.

"You don't know, Tian En has been praising her Lord Mokaka all the way, it's been buzzing in my ears."

"But I'm really curious as well, to inspire such devotion from a prisoner even on the Floating Island, she must have her unique charm, right?"

"I'm about to meet her soon, and I must admit, I'm a little nervous."

"..."

At these words, Yuanbao suddenly fell silent.

After a while, she snuggled into her bedding, muttering softly...

"Mokaka, huh?"

"Actually... I don't really like her."
