Now it seems that Xingxiong's former subordinate was also involved in this smuggling network. I don't know what trouble he got into, which forced Xingxiong to go alone to rescue people. It's a pity that he was too young at that time and actually gave up and did not investigate. Otherwise, this smuggling case would have been solved long ago.

Speaking of which, there is also Lin Yuxia.

Chen Huijie slapped his forehead. His attention was diverted and he almost forgot about this person. He scrolled down and saw——

Lin Yuxia: 0→12

This...how come her figure is growing faster than Shi Huaiya's? I should have only met her once.

Chen Huijie vaguely recalled the events of the day, and at the same time, he also collected the favorability reward.

[Ability: Yan Nation Art History Knowledge Reserve +6]

[Art is... No, this can't be blown up]

[Ability: Sand Originium Skill Adaptability +4]

【Your emperor is back! 】

[Ability: Thinking Reaction Ability +2]

What should I do if my mouth can't keep up with my brain?

【?Props: Recalling Dreams?】

[?Gift for reaching the first stage of favorability?]

Well, this favorability bonus was within my expectations. After all, he knew Lin Yuxia very well and was well aware of her preferences. It was just that this [Dream Recall] item had appeared again. Could it be that this item wasn't meant for me, but for someone else? For example... Lin Yuxia?

Chen Huijie thought about it and decided not to use this [Dream Recall] for the time being and wait until he meets Lin Yuxia tomorrow.

After seeing Lin Yuxia's favorability reward, Chen Huijie also arrived at the agreed location.

Chen Huijie, ACE and Kulusier met at the outskirts of the old city. At that time, the infrastructure of the old city had not been improved and the population was leaving rapidly, so after 10 o'clock in the evening, there was basically no one there.

"It seems we all have the habit of arriving early."

Chen Huijie arrived at the agreed location half an hour in advance, but ACE and Krosier had already arrived there and had set up some necessary measures in the abandoned guard room next to it.

"Then without further ado, Miss Lucille, please crack the code of this box."

This password box was specifically mentioned in the case records. When it was confiscated by the Guard Bureau, professional technicians tried to crack it. However, surprisingly, the difficulty of cracking this password box was extremely high. After three failed attempts, the self-destruct mechanism of the password box was triggered. From then on, it was unknown what was inside.

"Just crack this."

Klucie crossed her arms and said with a confident smile:

"I thought they were going to entrust me with some big project."

"For Miss Klushier..."

Chen Huijie paused here and said with a thoughtful reminder:

"Your recorder is not on."

"It's on, but I didn't connect the indicator light to the pen, so it won't light up."

Kluchil held the recorder and said expectantly:

"Don't write less than three hundred words... No, a thousand. As a reward, I'll give you a big discount when you go to Rhodes Island in the future."

"...Let's crack this password box first. If you want to praise me, I can tell you a lot after I'm done."

The "huge discount" reminded Chen Huijie of the past, and for a moment he was at a loss for words:

"After all, Miss Klushier is a genius engineer. Cracking the code shouldn't be a piece of cake for her. It should only take ten minutes at most. This is a good time for me to come up with a plan."

"Ten minutes? Three minutes will be enough. Watch me!"

Krosier rolled up her sleeves, placed her personal terminal on the table, and began to concentrate on cracking the code. However, as her attention became more focused, Krosier's perception became sharper. With her back to Chen Huijie and ACE, she couldn't help but twitch her nose.

I smelled it again, this scent... How come it smells better than motor oil? Pure and flawless, with a light fragrance. No, the fragrance is also intoxicatingly mellow... Wait, how come this scent is even more alluring than when I saw it during the day? I... I... hehe...

Hearing Klushie's sudden silly laughter, Chen Huijie, who was about to chat with ACE, suddenly felt a chill on his neck and subconsciously moved a little further away from Klushie. ACE also realized something and whispered:

"Don't worry, sir. Although Klucie is a blood demon, she doesn't have the urge to drink blood. She prefers motor oil to blood. Her current behavior... is probably just a personal habit."

I know what you said...

Chen Huijie glanced at Klushier with a subtle expression.

But why do I feel that this smile is different from what I remember?

028 Chen Huijie: I am very young

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Chen Huijie and ACE were right behind Klushier, so she could naturally hear their whispers. The remaining shame and reserve as a woman made her cough violently twice, forcing herself to focus back on the cracking task at hand.

But this smell is too tempting to the blood demon!

Kelucille kept a straight face, trying to control herself from making such embarrassing and foolish laughs. At the same time, she controlled the drone to hover beside her. The whirring sound of the engine fan released the smell of engine oil while also dispersing the smell from Chen Huijie.

only...

Ah... this smell mixed with the smell of engine oil, why does it feel even more intoxicating...

No, no, I can’t be so embarrassed, crack it, crack it!!

Klushier slapped her cheeks vigorously, then stared and began to operate on her personal terminal. Her astonishing momentum made people who knew she was cracking the password think she was ready to risk her life.

Chen Huijie and ACE were first drawn to the sound of Klushie slapping her face, and then startled by her frightening aura. In tacit agreement, they tiptoed a little further away from Klushie, and also from the noisy drone engine, before continuing their conversation.

"I still don't know what to call you, sir?"

"Chen Huijie, Chen as in statement, Hui as in brilliance, Jie as in excellence."

Chen Huijie thought that he should make a whole business card. That way, he wouldn't have to add the explanation suffix at the end, and the business card could also be used as a weapon, which seemed to kill two birds with one stone. As he thought about this, he continued:

"There's someone with the same name as me in Longmen, so ACE, please don't make any mistakes."

"Although the names may be similar, I don't think there is another person in the entire Longmen who can have such a unique temperament as Mr. Chen."

Hey, ACE still speaks as nicely as ever.

It’s not that Chen Huijie likes to hear it...Okay, Chen Huijie doesn’t deny that he does like to be praised. Although he doesn’t care about other people’s opinions, he can still feel a little comforted if he is recognized by others.

"Just call me Huijie, Mr. Chen... I'm not that old yet. ACE, when you call me that, it always makes me feel like I'm really old."

"Eh?"

ACE looked at Chen Huijie. Although he looked very young, in this land, it was not feasible to judge a person's age by appearance. Just like the director of the medical department of Rhodes Island, she looked like a girl, but in fact, the ages of all the operators of Rhodes Island combined might not be as old as her.

As for Mr. Chen Huijie, whether it was the first time we met or the second time, he always gave people an exceptionally steady feeling. Although one could occasionally sense some youthful spirit from his conversation and behavior, it was difficult for him to guess Chen Huijie's age lower.

"After my birthday this year, I won't even be twenty years old, but if possible, please don't call me brother. I don't like that name."

Because this name always reminds me of my deceased sister...

"Mr. Chen...Brother Huijie, you are really young and promising."

ACE never expected that Chen Huijie was so young, maybe even not yet an adult. Even though there were slight differences in the definition of "adult age" among various countries and organizations in Terra, this young man Chen Huijie seemed to be around the same age.

"Hehe, I'll accept this compliment without hesitation, huh?"

Chen Huijie saw ACE suddenly start to rummage through his backpack. This action made him raise his eyebrows in confusion, and then ACE handed him several oripathy inhibitors.

Ah... I seem to understand why ACE did this.

Chen Huijie looked at ACE with a somewhat subtle expression. As everyone knows, whether it was the former Tower of Babel or the current Rhodes Island, because of their philosophies, there were a large number of people infected with oripathy living in them.

It is precisely because of this that, in the eyes of the world, this organization is directly equated with a gathering place for infected people, and Rhodes Island's operators are naturally considered to be all infected people.

Although this reputation has been reversed a lot thanks to the efforts of everyone in Rhodes Island, at present, in most cities that are still well-informed, Rhodes Island operators are still quite excluded and hostile. After all, this is the general environment in which the infected live.

Under such circumstances, I get along so friendly with the operators of Rhodes Island, so it doesn't seem like I don't know what Rhodes Island is.

Therefore, it is natural for ACE to regard himself as an infected person, which is an understandable reaction.

"I'm sorry, but I only brought these spare suppressants with me this time. You can use them first."

ACE spoke to Chen Huijie in a gentle tone, saying that he was already an infected person at a young age, so his calmness must be related to this identity. After experiencing such hardships, he could still maintain such a gentle smile. This child was really amazing.

"I always feel like you're overthinking it, ACE."

Chen Huijie put one hand on his waist and said:

"I'm not infected, but... I do need to prepare two bottles of Oripathy Inhibitors. I won't be polite with you then."

Thinking about the future of some of his friends, if they had a few good quality mineral disease inhibitors around them at that time, maybe their lifespans could be extended a little bit, so Chen Huijie didn't hesitate to ask ACE and took two.

It is not appropriate to take them all. The situation faced by ACE and the others is much more complicated than their own. If they encounter any accidents on the way back, it will be troublesome. Now the remaining inhibitors are enough to allow them to hold on until support from Rhodes Island headquarters arrives.

"You...are really not infected?"

Although ACE didn't think Chen Huijie would lie to him, he still found it incredible. Although there were normal people in this world who did not discriminate against infected people, there were not many who were as natural as Chen Huijie.

"You actually want to ask me why I'm not afraid of you."

Chen Huijie smiled and pointed to his nose, and said softly:

"If I stand here and breathe, will I get oripathy from you? Or..."

Chen Huijie held ACE's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Will this kind of etiquette spread oripathy, or..."

Chen Huijie let go of ACE's hand, casually put his arm around Klosier, who was leaning over quietly, and said with a smile:

"This level of physical contact could lead to my infection. Ah, of course, Miss Klosier isn't infected, but there's no doubt that the transmission of Ore Disease isn't as terrible as the legends say... Hmm?"

As he was talking, Chen Huijie noticed that ACE's expression was not right. The reason seemed to be because of Kolsil beside him. Chen Huijie turned his head in confusion...

No, what's wrong with this blood demon? Why is he like an idiot?!

029 Krosier: Woof!

Koluchil's fighting ability is very poor. It cannot be said that she has no fighting ability, but she can be beaten easily, at least in front of Chen Huijie. So when this blood demon approached quietly, Chen Huijie noticed her arrival at the first time.

Therefore, Chen Huijie had already made a plan to tease this profiteer Blood Demon. If he put his arm around her shoulders, she would definitely push him away, and he would cry out in pain "Ouch"... Don't think that this trick is childish, this is how the Blood Demon blackmailed him in the first place!

However....

When Chen Huijie looked at Klushier, he was really frightened, because the blood demon's snow-white skin was stained with an unusually attractive blush, and his beautiful face was no exception.

At this time, Krosil was breathing lightly with a breath as sweet as orchid, and a faint mist kept coming out of her mouth. Her eyes had lost focus, but Chen Huijie and ACE could clearly perceive that Krosil was staring at Chen Huijie, and the light in her eyes was about to overflow like a lake.

"Ms. Krusier?"

Chen Huijie didn't remember that this profiteer had such a problem. While trying to awaken her consciousness, he quickly looked at ACE, but this reliable Rhodes Island operator had never seen Kal'sil like this.

"I...ha...I've already...huh...I've already cracked it."

In just one sentence, Kelucier had to interrupt twice. As she spoke, she moved closer to Chen Huijie and said:

"I've completed the work. Phew... So, reward... it's time to reward me!"

With that, Krusil pushed off with all her might and lunged towards Chen Huijie. This was the most serious attack Krusil had ever made. Whether it was the force or the angle, Krusil felt it was perfect, displaying all her strength to the fullest.

Then Chen Huijie put his hand on her forehead and pressed her down.

Kluciere tried hard to push forward, but when she realized she couldn't move the hand against her forehead, she swung her turtle fist and yelled in a peevish voice:

"No, I'm done. You can't do this to me. I just sniffed you. Whoever moves his mouth is a puppy. Woo~~~~ Let me come over~~~"

"Krosier, Krosier, calm down, calm down, I'm a minor, I'm a minor!"

ACE really couldn't hold it in any longer. Just looking at the way Lucille was just now, ACE would believe her even if she took Chen Huijie home to be her child husband. Therefore, as a Rhodes Island operator, he couldn't bear to watch his members do such illegal and immoral things!

"ACE, help me hold him down, and I'll give you a permanent 99%...9% discount at the store!"

"You bastard, give me back the missing ⑨!"

???

A series of question marks popped up in Chen Huijie's head. He looked at ACE with empty eyes. The Rhodes Island big brother coughed awkwardly, carried the still struggling Korciel on his shoulders, and said quickly:
