In fact, saying that he could go without sleep for several days and nights was Li Ang being modest.

With the regenerative effects of the Origin of Life's flesh and blood, and the control of the Swamp God Power over concepts like plants and growth,

even if Li Ang never ate or drank again, he could rely on sunlight for energy and eat dirt to maintain material balance.

Eating, drinking, and sleeping now were just long-standing human habits.

"Ah, is it nighttime already?"

Wang Congshan glanced at the clock on the wall and stood up, "So...shall we leave it at that for today?"

"Okay."

Li Ang also stood up, "You should go find your parents. I've spoken with the Special Affairs Bureau; this situation shouldn't impact you guys."

"Mm."

Wang Congshan nodded, hesitated for a moment, "So...will you come over tomorrow, or shall I look for you?"

Li Ang thought for a moment and said, "Either works.

Most people, when they first become players and face their first script mission, usually have a few days to buffer.

The basic training the Special Affairs Bureau can provide, I can also offer, and I can directly enhance your body, skipping some unnecessary steps.

However, the Special Affairs Bureau should have more case experience than I do in this area and understands better what guidance new players need.

Let them do the novice guidance, and I can provide advice and suggestions from the sidelines.

Whichever you're more comfortable with."

"Then..."

Wang Congshan opened her mouth, hesitated, and said, "How about I stay at the Special Affairs Bureau for training? Would that cause you any trouble?"

"No."

Li Ang waved his hand, "Don't worry about me. I no longer need to care about the opinions of major forces, whether it's the Special Affairs Bureau, the Heterodox Academy, or any other Global Occult Coalition."

"Oh."

Wang Congshan hesitated a bit and nodded; she had just become a player. Although she could access some information through online media outlets,

such as the specific responsibilities of organizations like the Global Occult Coalition and the jurisdiction and relationships between major organizations,

she definitely didn't know as much as a real player,

and couldn't fully understand the specific meaning of "not needing to care about the opinions of major forces."

It seemed, like, quite impressive?

Wang Congshan pursed her lips, seeing Li Ang's sincere face, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

After a moment of silence, she softly asked, "Seriously, why are you so good to me?"

"Hmm?"

Li Ang was taken aback for a moment, brushed his hair, and then his expression turned serious as he slowly took out his phone from his pocket, opening the photo album and flipping to a picture.

"I hope you don't mind, but I've really held back this for a long, long time..."

He showed the photo to Wang Congshan, earnestly and seriously saying in a soft voice, "Among everyone, I like you the most."

"Huh???!!!"

Wang Congshan's face suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously stepped back half a step, her arms that hung by her sides raised suddenly, crossing in front of her, as if she were having spasms, gesticulating back and forth, "You, you, you, why did you suddenly say this..."

All of a sudden, her gaze swept across the phone screen, and her stammering mouth instantly froze.

On the phone screen, there was a photo of the philtrum above a person's upper lip—an area known as the "human median,"

from the shape of the mouth and the curve of the lips, it looked like a photo of Wang Congshan's philtrum taken while she was napping.

"Your philtrum is indeed very nice. Among all the humans I've seen, it's the best looking."

Li Ang seriously explained, "Personally, you could put little dragon and phoenix stickers on your philtrum, turning it from then on into a 'Dragon and Phoenix among People,' greatly enhancing your aura."

"...Go away!"

Wang Congshan finally reacted, blushing as she aimed a punch at Li Ang, who then ducked and ran,

while Chaichai shook his head with a seen-it-all expression, operating the coffee machine to heat up the already cooled coffee.

After chasing Li Ang for a bit, Wang Congshan stopped, slightly out of breath, her pent-up mood slightly eased, "Hey."

"I'm not called 'Hey,' I'm called Chu Yuquan."

Li Ang pouted and returned from his head-ducked escape state, "What's up."

"Seriously,"

Wang Congshan, red at the edges of her ears, had not yet faded, with hands on her hips, said seriously: "Why are you so good to me."

"...Perhaps because you saved me more than once."

Li Ang raised his head, glanced at the clock slowly moving on the wall, and softly said, "If it weren't for you, maybe I would have become someone very bad, whom the current me would despise.

Although I'm not quite sure what my true self should be,

but now,

I've aged with myself for a long time, rather be me."

"..."

Wang Congshan frowned slightly, wanting to speak but stopping short.

After everything that happened today, she actually couldn't be certain if the current, real Li Ang was the person she knew.

But...

Getting to know him better from now on didn't seem too late.

Wang Congshan pounded her palm and smiled, remembering something, "Then, you and the Special Affairs Bureau...

What will happen in the future?"

"From now on, the well water won't mix with the river water,"

Li Ang said casually: "I won't join, nor will I oppose.

If there are interests to be exchanged, such as if you need more professional training guidance or equipment purchases,

I'll trade with them at market prices.

Using Game Coin or the technology I have to exchange for equivalent things."

"Hmm. Actually, I don't quite understand the conflicts here, but as long as you're okay and no innocent people died, it should be okay, right?"

Wang Congshan nodded, "Then I'll go first? See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Li Ang waved his hand, watching Wang Congshan pick up the communication device to call her parents, walking with light steps towards the family waiting area exit,

and he shook his head with a smile.

"Gone."

He turned and beckoned to Chaichai, who stuffed the last piece of blueberry cookie into his mouth, dusted off his hands covered in food residue, and bounced over, mumbling, "Where are we going?"

"Let's, leave here first."

Li Ang walked towards the family waiting area exit, headed in the opposite direction from Wang Congshan,

seeing Bai Haozheng, Xing Hechou, and Liu Wu Dai, who had been waiting there for a while, sitting on the steps.

"Hmm?"

Li Ang was a little surprised to see the three of them,

Bai Haozheng and Xing Hechou exchanged a bitter smile, with the former clapping his hands and saying to Li Ang: "Well, the disaster relief and restoration work outside is ongoing.

Thank you for your restraint and for suppressing the Vermilion Bird, the city's destruction wasn't as severe as expected,

and the engineering team with extraordinary powers could roughly repair the buildings in about one to two weeks."

"Oh."

Li Ang, not particularly caring, nodded,

Xing Hechou, with bandages on his hands and feet, lightly coughed, somewhat awkwardly saying, "The issue is temporarily resolved, so I won't say much on formalities.

Well, Brother Li, you're not going back to the community or school in the future, right?"
