Only I can make them stronger

After a while, he whistled, touched An Ke's head and said:

"You really underestimated my Miss Encore. I apologize~"

53. The Last Night in the Clock City

"Has the couple's little conflict been resolved?" Karen whistled when he saw Anke and Xia Ye open the door and walk in, with their expressions obviously relaxed.

Xia Ye shrugged and An Ke glared at her.

"About the window..." The former then looked at Jinniel.

"After negotiating with the boss, he found an excuse to get away with it and asked me to pay 500 taels, plus two pillows, a total of 600 taels. Remember to pay it back to me when you get back."

Jinelle rolled her eyes.

"Two...pillows?" Xia Ye was a little confused.

Jinelle pointed to four pillowcases in the corner, only their shrunken bodies were left.

Xia Ye looked at An Ke.

"Who told you to... spend so long... back... to... her..." An Ke muttered something unclearly and kicked the ground with her toes in an unnatural manner.

Seeing this, Xia Ye lowered his head helplessly, moved closer to Jinniel, and said something while looking at Qilisi who was a little nervous and silent next to him.

"Okay, then I'll charge you a total of two thousand tower deductions." Jinelle nodded, stood up and walked quickly to the door.

"It's troublesome."

Xia Ye said gratefully, and then said to Qi Lisi:

"Jinelle has gone to renew her room. Our deal is still the same as we agreed on before. We'll discuss it when we get back from Gear City."

"As for this... can you leave it to me?" Xia Ye took out a box containing blue crystals and annihilation code fragments from his pocket.

The power of these two things has been absorbed, leaving only the shell comparable to A-grade ore. However, he is probably the only one who can use these things, so there is not much point in Qilisi keeping them.

He could keep them to strengthen the crowbar, or maybe use them for research at Canaanzi's place.

Qilisi nodded without much hesitation.

"Hmm...it seems like there's nothing to be done here. It's getting late. Let's go out for dinner and say goodbye to the old man. Come back later and have some rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

Xia Ye said after thinking for a while.

Qilisi shook her head.

"What's wrong? Oh! Okay, then you take care of your meal by yourself, I won't care about you." Xia Ye remembered that Qilisi didn't want to expose her teeth.

Upon hearing this, the latter thanked him for his understanding and nodded.

Soon, after renewing her room, Genelle returned to the room where everyone was. After learning about the next arrangements, she nodded in agreement, and the group went out to eat.

The food in the Clock City was rougher and stronger in flavor than that in the Shia City-State. The three people from the Chise Office, who were used to Luo Qi's delicious cooking, didn't eat much. Karen, on the other hand, stuffed every mouthful with relish.

"So... that white-haired guy... is... your new capture target...?"

"What's the target of the attack..." Xia Ye looked at Karen who was eating voraciously and without restraint, stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, and looked at An Ke and said:

"She may really become our companion in the future..."

Although from a certain perspective, Karen was right in what he said, but the scumbag Xia Ye didn't want An Ke to think about it that way so bluntly.

He had just coaxed this girl into submission in the evening.

"Is she really the same as us...?" An Ke asked with a pout.

"Yes, both Leah and Luo Qi have confirmed this. Before you came back, Leah was attracted to her in the city. At that time, she even had a small conflict with the Shadow Claw members who came to the city to scout the area."

Xia Ye explained.

"Okay..." An Ke turned her head away, feeling a little disappointed.

The girl's first love has so many ambiguous relationships, which really means she has met the wrong person.

"You guys eat first. I'm going to say goodbye to Kareya's master and give him some instructions as a sign of respect for my seniors... I'll be back soon."

Then Xia Ye touched An Ke's head and stood up.

"I want to join you too..." the latter said pitifully

"also."

……

Walking side by side with Anke in the Clock City, which had become much quieter as night fell, Xia Ye's eyes occasionally swept over the silent girl beside him, and he began to think.

The other party's words just now suddenly reminded him -

The special person mentioned by Luo Qi encountered an unexpected situation here at Anke.

Whether it is Leah, Shana or her, the three of them have more obvious virtual images of mutant factors that ordinary mutants do not have, and the values are much higher than those of ordinary mutants of the same level.

But except for the latter one, the former one is currently questionable.

At least even when it was strengthened, Xia Ye didn't see any characteristics at all. Instead, the aura of the annihilation code was abnormally strong.

Her mutant factor has been completely transformed by the annihilation code, making her original condition unknown.

So is it that her original mutant factor matches the characteristics of Luo Qi and the others, or is it that the modified mutant factor brings about the same special characteristics?

If it is the latter, then his current analysis of his wives and some of the related speculations may be completely overturned.

Because this means that the so-called "beloved wife" of the system can actually be artificially created from a worldview perspective.

Of course, a combination of the two is not ruled out.

Anke's mutant factor itself is special, so she was selected from many children of the same age and successfully passed the "final test", but after the annihilation code transformation, the original factor characteristics were replaced.

This made Xia Ye feel a sense of urgency.

On this continent, there are more and more people who are clinging to things related to their original abilities.

He had no idea whether there was a bigger force behind the experimental site that An Ke escaped from, or what the woman who was burned to death wanted to do.

But at least the clues are not broken.

Thanks to the spider, Xia Ye at least knew that the place was built next to the underground split-claw spider's nest.

If we go back and check carefully, we should be able to lock the target within a smaller range.

Whether it was to find out the truth or for the annihilation code of the main mission, he would have to go there sooner or later.

As they were thinking, the two soon arrived at the Dopley Equipment Store which was about to close.

After briefly explaining a few things to the old man and thanking him, Xia Ye and An Ke returned to the restaurant where the others were.

Luo Qi's Dongming Documents, Qi Lisi's Sanctuary of the Vampires, and the large experimental field where An Ke spent her childhood, and even Joey's handling of the situation...

Xia Ye found that he had already taken on a lot of things before he was even halfway through this mission.

"It seems that I won't be able to relax in the next period of time..."

"As for today's room allocation..." Back at the hotel, Xia Ye looked at Qilisi and began to think.

"You and I will sleep together!" An Ke's pink eyes widened and she looked at him threateningly.

"Uh...what about Qilisi..." Xia Ye felt a little embarrassed and confused.

He roughly knew what encore meant, and it might indeed be inconvenient to have other people around.

But now that he was on an outbound mission, he still had to seek the opinions of the other people.

"It's okay. If you don't mind, we can sleep together..." Fortunately, the considerate and petite Fitty stepped forward.

As someone who has just joined the firm, she is very friendly to new people who may join in the future.

Qilisi looked at the little nun, sniffed slightly with her delicate nose, and then nodded.

This girl has a subtle fragrance that gives people an illusory sense of comfort, but she doesn't hate it.

"Then that's it..." Xia Ye nodded, but before he could finish his words, An Ke pulled him back to their room.

During the two hours I was away, the broken windows had been repaired... After all, this was the City of Blacksmiths, and such a small matter could be easily handled by an apprentice.

An Ke slammed the door shut, pushed Xia Ye down on the bed, and sat on his waist unreasonably.

"How about... taking a shower first?" Xia Ye smiled awkwardly.

"What did you do with that Qilisi this afternoon?" After learning about the important matters involving her safety, An Ke started to show her jealous temper.

"That... uh..." Xia Ye wanted to say it was an accident, but then she felt like it wasn't really an accident.

He did take the initiative to kiss her.

"Whether she will join the firm in the future or not, this kind of thing should be based on first come first served!"

"I came here first! So satisfy me first!"

"What..." Xia Ye wanted to say something, but An Ke leaned over, hugged Xia Ye's head and kissed her passionately.

When the passion rose along with their body temperatures and breathing, their lips slowly parted.

An Ke frowned slightly, leaned close to Xia Ye's ear with a look of desire and resentment, and said a few simple words:

"Fuck me...don't stop all night...fuck me until I cry..."

Xia Ye was slightly shocked by the obscene words which were completely different from the usual ones. He didn't know which comic book this girl read these from.

But the fire in his heart was suddenly ignited, and his animal desire surged. He turned over and pressed the soft body underneath, and his big hands began to be dishonest.

After a while, waves of tender moans and panting could be heard in the room...

54. The necessity of choice

"It's been a week since we left home. I wonder if they miss us."

The off-road vehicle was driving in the wilderness, and Anke looked at the scenery ahead and spoke quietly.

"Sometimes I envy you guys. At least there are people who care about you when you are on a mission."

Karen, who was idly untying and tying the laces on Fitty's clothes, said longingly.

"Isn't it normal for companions to care about each other?" Xia Ye said to the back.

"That's in your place... Phoenix is too big, Phoenix is also too big, everyone is very busy every day, and some people will resort to trickery for some tasks or rewards, which is very tiring."

Karen pouted.

"Is there no one in Phoenix Office who treats you sincerely?"

"Yes, Fenghuang, she is really very good to us. Although she usually has a cold face, she actually takes care of us quietly in many things. She also helped us solve the problem of mutant factors in a short time."

"What kind of person is Phoenix?" Upon hearing this, Xia Ye's heart moved, and he planned to inquire about this legendary mythical creature.

"I don't know." But Karen's answer made him a little confused.

"Isn't it good for you?"

"That's only relative. No one knows what Phoenix is really thinking or what he wants to do..."

"She seemed to know everything, knew everyone, and was rude to everyone. She often made some incredible requests, but it turned out that her decisions were all correct."

Karen recalled the arrogant woman in her memory. She was always accompanied by a bright glow that made it difficult for people to look directly at her.

"It's a completely different mythical species from Joey..." Xia Ye sighed helplessly.

Mythical creatures are indeed incompatible with ordinary humans, and it is difficult to guess what they are like before encountering them.

"what?"

At this moment, Jinelle suddenly made a puzzled sound.

"What's wrong?" Xia Ye looked at her, who was looking at the wilderness outside the window with a frown on her face.

"Have we taken the wrong road?" asked Ginelle, confused.

"Impossible, Miss Anke has already imprinted the map in her mind. We will arrive at our destination at noon tomorrow." Anke said confidently.

"But this...isn't it a Level 5 danger zone?"
