"I don't know what people in this world call this kind of conceptual energy, but I think the word 'presence' fits the bill."

"Presence? Literally?"

"Yes. According to the analysis of Mengyuan, it seems that as long as something exists in the material world, no matter what it is, it can produce this kind of conceptual energy every once in a while."

"It has a wide range. How powerful is it?"

"Only 30% of the power of the same amount of willpower."

"Not bad, what about the production?"

Qin Bin said, "By species, intelligent creatures have the highest output of presence. For the same number of natural people, in the same period and with the same fame, it is estimated that their output is only about 10% weaker than our willpower. As for the output of animals, plants, and dead things in general, there is no accurate data for reference at the moment, so it is still unclear, but it is certain that it will be much less."

Xiaobai nodded, "I understand. The core is still the subjective cognition of intelligent life forms... Sister Meng, can you incorporate the sense of existence into our energy system?"

"Mengyuan is still researching. Now I can only say that there is a high probability that there will be no problem."

"Is that so... If it is possible, then if we want to have peaceful relations with all the forces in this world, don't we have to give up this way of absorbing energy?"

"No, according to Mengyuan's observation, the strong people in this world have only developed a way to harvest the subjective and objective sense of existence of intelligent creatures, and the effective harvesting rate has only reached about 20%."

"If that's the case, as long as they don't touch their existing cake, there will be a lot of room for maneuver."

"Yes, now let's see what the attitude of the top leaders of this world is."

"Well, what do we do next? Continue academic research?"

"No, the rest can be left to the relevant departments. As for us, we will play for a while and wait for the progress of Dream Wish. If the protagonist has not appeared when Dream Wish completes the preliminary work, we will take the open diplomatic route to expand the amount of information exchange, swallow this world first and then slowly deal with those details."

"Is that so? Now... let's go shopping?"

"it is good."

......

In the president's office of Nangong Mall, the three psychic practitioners who had previously assisted Qin Bin and Xiao Bai in their academic research stood in a row in front of the desk with their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

Sitting on the chair behind the desk was a beautiful woman with dignified manners, waist-length hair and wearing a red robe.

This woman is Nangong Yafei.

She glanced at the three psychic practitioners indifferently and said calmly, "In other words, Mr. and Mrs. Qin's academic research only stops at general junior high school textbooks?"

One of the young men quickly responded, "Yes Miss."

As he spoke, a hint of sweat appeared on his face.

After all, Nangong Yafei's aura is too strong, so strong that most people feel pressured when interacting with her.

Nangong Yafei thought for a moment and asked again, "Since the academic research is over, you should return to your posts starting tomorrow and retire."

"Yes...well, Mr. Qin gave us extra compensation...it's one tael of special-grade spirit stones each," the leading young man said weakly.

"Since it is given to you by Mr. Qin, just accept it. Go ahead."

"Yes!" X3

After the three of them responded, they took a few steps back before turning around and leaving the office.

After there were no outsiders in the office, Nangong Yafei sat back in her chair with a slightly less graceful manner, and at the same time activated her earring-shaped personal terminal with her mind.

After a holographic interface appeared in front of her, she raised her hand and flipped through the contents.

——The test reports from the sixteen research institutes are consistent, and this is not a special-grade spiritual stone produced by any known mineral vein...

——There is a difference in social cognition...

——I did not hide my curiosity about the societies of the various races on the Yuanling Ancestral Star...

——His strength is unknown, but he is definitely not an ordinary person...

——A visitor from outer space?

After her thoughts raced for a while, Nangong Yafei's face showed a hint of complexity, even bitterness.

——It’s rare that I meet a man I like, but it’s in this situation... and he’s a married man...

--well...

——However, it seems that being a married man is not an obstacle, and Mrs. Qin seems to be happy to see her husband take a concubine...

——I really can’t understand...

——My concubine...how could I possibly...

"Beep beep~"

Just when Nangong Yafei's thoughts were becoming more and more vague, a prompt sounded from her personal terminal, indicating that there was new information.

Nangong Yafei casually opened the message interface and after reading the new message, she also showed a look of surprise.

——The disciple of the leader of Tianyun Sect, the eldest young master of the Nalan family is coming to Jin'an... Is he here to see his fiancée?

——Then why did the young master of the Lingjian Immortal Sect, one of the ten major sects of the immortal race, come all the way to Jin'an?

——That’s strange…

"Da Da~"

Just when Nangong Yafei was puzzled, she received new message again. This time it was a message sent to her by Xiaobai through a civilian social software.

[Xiao Yafei, let's go to XXX Road to eat special barbecue, do you want to come? ]

Nangong Yafei blinked and was about to politely refuse, but after taking a look at the only two names on the friend list on the social software, "Qin Bin", she couldn't help but hesitate.

——It's just a meal together, nothing to worry about, yeah, that's it...

Thinking so, Nangong Yafei simply replied to Xiaobai with one word.

【want. 】

Rest today~~~~~~

Chapter 518: An Ordinary Yet Extraordinary Dinner - Part

In the afternoon, in a slightly remote alley in Jinan County, where large vehicles cannot enter.

Nangong Yafei walked deeper into the alley with two bodyguards.

A young lady like Nangong Yafei, who can be seen at first glance as either rich or noble, is rarely seen in normal times, at least in places where only "common people" would hang out.

Naturally, Nangong Yafei's appearance also attracted the attention of passers-by and residents in the alley.

In addition, Nangong Yafei is a beautiful woman who is truly "as beautiful as a fairy", which makes people unable to take their eyes away. Some men even lose their minds and make fools of themselves because of her.

Nangong Yafei, who was very accustomed to this kind of gaze, didn't care about it. She just walked towards her destination calmly, looking around casually during the walk, like an ordinary person shopping.

On the contrary, the two bodyguards of the Nangong family did not like this environment. They frowned, but because they could not disobey their young lady's will, they had to follow silently.

After walking for a while, Nangong Yafei came to a common barbecue restaurant which could be said to be of relatively good hygiene. She saw the back of Qin Bin who was eating in the barbecue restaurant, and Xiaobai who was waving at her.

Nangong Yafei asked the two bodyguards to have a table by themselves to kill time, and then she went to Qin Bin and Xiaobai's table alone.

"Here you go, sit down."

After Xiaobai spoke and moved a little, Nangong Yafei didn't feel restrained at all. She sat down next to Xiaobai naturally and generously, facing Qin Bin across the indoor psychic oven on the table.

Qin Bin asked the waiter to bring a set of tableware, placed it in front of Nangong Yafei, and then gently stroked it with his index finger. A burst of inconspicuous light blue light particles swept across several Chinese, or "Zhou-style" tableware, washing them.

Although she didn't see what this method was, Nangong Yafei also vaguely knew that this was Qin Bin cleaning the dishes for her, so she smiled and said, "Thank you."

"polite."

Qin Bin smiled and started turning over the special marinated beef on the barbecue.

This is just regular farmed beef.

This is a civilian store, and the customers are mainly ordinary civilians, so there is no need to expect it to provide wild or farmed monster meat.

Nangong Yafei also knew all this, so she was not surprised to see that it was just ordinary beef. She just thought that Qin Bin and Xiaobai probably just liked this kind of meat.

Seeing Nangong Yafei's eyes on the barbecue, Qin Bin said, "Although the quality of the ingredients largely determines the degree of taste enjoyment, a true chef can make up for the shortcomings of the ingredients through his cooking skills, allowing diners to taste the deliciousness that is not inferior to, or even better than, high-end ingredients of the same type."

Xiao Bai, who was pouring wine for Nangong Yafei at this time, also said, "The boss here has great skills, especially in pickling meat. In my opinion, it can reach the first-class level, which is quite good. Xiao Yafei, you can rest assured to taste it, you will definitely not be disappointed."

Nangong Yafei paused for a moment, and responded with a smile, "It must be extraordinary to be praised so highly by Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin. Yafei really needs to savor it carefully."

Faced with this rather polite response, Xiao Bai didn't care. He placed the full porcelain cup in front of Nangong Yafei and said, "The drinks here are a bit inferior. They are common stuff, so we brought our own. Come and have a try."

"Thank you for your help, Madam Qin." Nangong Yafei said as she was about to stand up and toast.

But Qin Bin waved his hand and said, "Don't do this when you are having a private meal with friends. Just be casual."

"...Mr. Qin is right." Nangong Yafei paused and smiled sweetly. This time the smile seemed a lot more sincere, at least not so commercial.

"Hold on--"

"?"

When Nangong Yafei was confused, Qin Bin said again.

"Don't underestimate this ordinary fruit wine. It can not only intoxicate people, but also intoxicate the soul. People with average physical fitness can easily get drunk."

As he spoke, Qin Bin slightly raised his right index finger, and then a burst of light blue light particles enveloped Nangong Yafei's wine glass, appearing and dissipating immediately.

"I have eliminated the effect of the intoxicating soul. You can just drink it as a normal low-alcohol fruit wine."

As Qin Bin spoke, he took out a new bottle of fruit wine from his space ring, processed it in the same way, and then placed it in front of Nangong Yafei.

Nangong Yafei blinked, then subconsciously turned to look at Xiaobai beside her.

Xiao Bai said in a cute way, "Oh my~ I almost forgot about this, Xiao Bin is really careful~"

Nangong Yafei was not stupid. She knew immediately that Xiaobai wanted to get her drunk. As for why he wanted to get her drunk, she really couldn't figure it out, after all, they had been together for too short a time.

Seeing Xiaobai like this, Qin Bin just shook his head in amusement, and didn't say anything more about it. Instead, he raised his glass and said to Nangong Yafei, "I'm sorry to bother Ms. Nangong these days."

"Mr. Qin, you are too polite. It is Ya Fei's honor to be able to help you two."

Nangong Yafei clinked glasses with Qin Bin with a smile, and boldly took a sip of the fruit wine that looked problematic no matter how you looked at it.

The moment she took a bite, the indescribable deliciousness made Nangong Yafei lose her mind for a moment.

But soon Nangong Yafei couldn't help showing a look of surprise, because the fruit wine not only had a refreshing and slightly sweet fragrance that made people feel very comfortable, but it also nourished her body and had the obvious effect of improving her physical fitness and even her strength.

The Nangong family has a thousand-year history and is extremely powerful. The ancestor of the family is a long-established eighth-level saint. Although the Nangong family can only be considered okay in the context of the Yuanling Ancestor Star, it can be regarded as the first-tier force under the royal family in the Zhou country.

As the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, Nangong Yafei was certainly well-informed. It only took her a moment to understand how precious and incredible this fruit wine was.

Alchemy is popular in Yuanling Zuxing, and there is no shortage of elixirs that can strengthen the body and cleanse the essence and marrow. However, most of them are high-level elixirs, and most of them have strong medicinal properties. They must be assisted by professionals to be taken safely.

Fruit wine like this has a mild 'medicinal property' that is easy to take and absorb, and has obvious effects. Even if you only take a sip of it and it is useless to drink again, it is still priceless.

While Nangong Yafei was distracted, Xiaobai gave her a few roasted beef cubes and said, "It seems that Xiao Yafei likes this kind of fruit wine. This stuff has no side effects and is only good for the body. If you like it, drink more."

Xiaobai's words brought Nangong Yafei back to her senses from her intoxication and astonishment, and she quickly gathered her thoughts, "Thank you Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin for your kindness, but this is too precious..."

Xiao Bai said, "That is precious to you. To us, it is just an ordinary drink that we drink every day. Just drink it generously."

"This..." Nangong Yafei was stunned and seemed a little hesitant for a moment.

She lacked talent for cultivation, and her own strength was not up to par with her peers, which had always been a concern for her. As a result, she had no chance of becoming the next patriarch of the Nangong family.

Fortunately, she has a great talent for business and has made outstanding contributions to the Nangong family's business in recent years. This is why a waste like her who should have been abandoned by the family can still enjoy the status of the eldest daughter of the Nangong family. However, she is destined to be only the eldest daughter or one of the important members of the Nangong family for her entire life, with no possibility of moving up to a higher level.

However, this holy fruit wine made her mind expand.

——If what Mrs. Qin said is true, does it mean that the couple has even better and more incredible "fruit wine" in their hands?

——Let’s not talk about the distant future. Just take this fruit wine right now. How can I repay this generous gift with anything?

Just as Nangong Yafei's thoughts were racing, a young girl with a look and temperament that were rare in the world came to the door of the barbecue restaurant.

"Xiaoxun'er, this way~"

Following Xiaobai's wave, the man walked over with a smile, and sat down next to Qin Bin naturally as Qin Bin moved.

This person was none other than Xiao Xun'er.
