The spiritual energy users from various planes quickly surrounded them in the middle.

The space in the emergency stairwell was limited, and these spiritual energy users were wary of each other, so the formation stretched out long.

These people didn't make a move right away but instead began to discuss the distribution of this area and the drivers' ownership.

In their eyes, these drivers were already prizes in their pockets. The only problem now was how to allocate these "loot."

Every faction wanted those spiritual energy materials, and they also needed to extract the methods and experience of collecting spiritual energy materials from those drivers. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Lin Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with these people's actions. After all, he had seen plenty of fools, and the variety of fools was vast. If he had to compile a fool's encyclopedia, he could produce a book thicker than a dictionary.

What struck him as a bit strange was the response of the abandoned area's controller.

If the other party had been continuously monitoring Lin Ye's actions, they would know that these people couldn't deal with Lin Ye at all. This kind of behavior wasn't just meaningless; it would also gift Lin Ye a pile of spiritual energy materials.

It was as bizarre as Lin Ye going to rob a bank, and the bank owner, instead of getting angry, ordered him a cup of milk tea.

There were many possibilities that could cause this situation.

For example, the other party couldn't actually see the specific situation here and could only receive some vague information.

Another possibility was that the controller of the abandoned area wasn't some thinking creature but a rigid program.

And of course, there was also the possibility that the other party simply couldn't understand what Lin Ye had done and could only tell that Lin Ye was a fourth-tier spiritual energy user who could control Alienation Creatures.

"...It can't be this weak, can it?"

Lin Ye wasn't sure which situation this was. If the master here really was that incompetent, then he would have to revise his previous action plan.

Now that the system had canceled the Nighttime Activity, he could stay here for a long time, even directly until next week.

If the other party really couldn't do anything to him, then he could clean this place out completely and take everything he could carry.

After all, coming here wasn't easy.

Lin Ye cheerfully revised his action plan. He still wasn't sure where the master here was hiding, but he could find a way to locate them.

"Sir, do we really not need to make any preparations?"

Old Zhang walked up to Lin Ye again, asking nervously.

"If you're all idle, you can help me test the output of the new production lines. I'll give you one portion of the product as payment."

While studying those materials, Lin Ye had come up with many new ideas. Every time an idea struck, he used the waste materials to build a new production line.

Now, the production lines here were almost out of space.

"Then I'll go ask the others if they want to do it."

Old Zhang ran back to the trucks on the perimeter and informed the other drivers of Lin Ye's new commission.

Soon, the drivers gathered around Lin Ye, highly interested in the payment he had mentioned.

"I need you to help me test the products from these production lines. Here are the test items. Just follow the methods listed in order and test everything. The payment will be the products you test; you can take a small pouch of each."

Lin Ye handed the drivers several forms recording the test items and methods. He needed to multitask on many aspects, so the initial testing work could be handled by others.

The drivers took the forms. Most of them were high-level spiritual energy users, so this kind of testing work wasn't difficult for them.

But the problem now was that they were surrounded by a group of spiritual energy users, and the portal hadn't closed. The planes those spiritual energy users came from could still send more spiritual energy users here continuously.

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll fight it out with them. But before that, I plan to earn some profit first."

A fierce-looking burly man took the form and walked toward the nearby production lines.

The other drivers exchanged glances, then took their forms and headed toward different production lines to complete the testing work.

Lin Ye continuously handled tasks from all directions. He had long been used to multitasking, but this was the first time he was advancing so many lines simultaneously.

While the drivers were testing the products, Lin Ye was also building new production lines. The surrounding space was almost filled to the brim with them.

After some more time, the plane representatives finally finished dividing the loot. An arrogant young man led the plane representatives as they approached the truck defensive line.

The drivers who were testing the products quickly gathered together. They looked at Lin Ye, hoping he would give them some instructions.

"Let them come over. You can continue with the testing work. I'll handle everything else."

Lin Ye didn't pay much attention to the approaching spiritual energy users. He had many more important matters to deal with.

"Are you the leader of these drivers?"

The young man walked up to Lin Ye and kicked over the production machine Lin Ye was building.

"That's right. Hello."

Lin Ye looked at the young man, showing a calm smile.

"I want you to hand over all the blueprints you obtained earlier and help us collect spiritual energy materials. Any problems?"

The young man stared at Lin Ye with some displeasure. Lin Ye's smile made him uncomfortable.

"I only have one question. What does 'us' refer to?"

Lin Ye looked at the young man with slight confusion.

"It refers to expendables like you who are about to be scrapped. What, not convinced?"

The young man gathered spiritual energy into his right hand. If Lin Ye said another useless word, he would blow his head off.

"Oh, I meant the second 'us.' Aren't you just one person?"

Lin Ye's face still maintained that unchanging calm smile.

"...Have you gone crazy from fear? There are so many people behind me. What nonsense are you talking about?"

The young man subconsciously looked back, and what he saw made his scalp tingle.

All the plane representatives had identical smiles on their faces. Everyone was looking at him. No matter where he moved his gaze, he could make eye contact with each of them.

"You seem to be carrying an interesting item. That item prevents me from directly affecting you, but is that really a good thing? Originally, you could have been as relaxed as them, but now you have to face all of this alone."

Lin Ye had never encountered an item that could resist the Parasitism Network and the mental defense system before. The other party's identity was definitely not simple; probably the descendant of some big shot.

But those big shots who commanded wind and rain in their own planes might have overlooked one thing: once you leave your familiar plane, you could run into all kinds of monsters and demons out there.

"You can't kill me. My father is the plane lord. The portal hasn't been closed yet. If you kill me, he will definitely send people to kill all of you."

The young man looked into the distance, trying to seek help from the spiritual energy users far away.
