Angel Yan's Return (4,000 Words, Two-in-One, Please Recommend, Please Keep Reading)

Wang Lei saw that Soton had already been rescued and the Taotie soldiers in the sky had scattered in all directions. He immediately lost any interest in pursuing them.

Moreover, this battle had reminded Wang Lei once again that he was still not strong enough. He could not even read the data of Soton's third-generation Beast Body Aether Code. The gap between that and Silver Wolf's performance in Star Rail was far too great.

Silver Wolf was someone who could contend with Herta and Screwllum. Though their clashes had only been in the electronic realm, the fact that she could face them was enough to prove that even against someone on Morgana's level, Silver Wolf would not be completely unable to fight back. A little Soton would only be a toy for her to play with.

So the reason Aether Encoding could not read Beast Body information was most likely a problem with his algorithms. He needed to design algorithms specifically targeted at Beast Bodies. Hmm, and one more thing—algorithms for divine bodies also had to be added to the design plan.

Thus, Wang Lei picked up a chunk of scale armor that had fallen off Soton's body, more than half of it burned into charred black carbon. He planned to take it home and analyze it slowly.

Then, he slipped through a gap and returned to the small path where he had arrived earlier. Looking around, he saw that the seafood he had bought was still there. No one should have come in. So, as if nothing had happened, he carried the bag back to his car and drove to the shop.

However, when Wang Lei entered the shop through the back, he suddenly found people inside. Two people, no—two angels.

One was naturally Angel Yan. The other had long golden hair with almost no bangs, styled back like a slicked-back cut. It was undoubtedly Angel Chase.

When Angel Yan saw Wang Lei return, she raised a hand in greeting. "Hi, Wang Lei, you're back. You're such a strange person. You clearly have a far more efficient way to travel, so why do you still use such a traditional... uh, gasoline-powered vehicle? Seafood is something that needs to stay fresh, after all. Oh, and this is Angel Chase, my sister. What do you think? Pretty, right?"

Wang Lei shook his head. He first put the seafood into the kitchen, then walked behind the bar, washed his hands, and looked helplessly at Angel Yan and Angel Chase.

"By the way, could you angels knock normally before coming here next time? I know a door can't stop you, but it's a matter of respect. Also, as long as they're God River Body lifeforms with normal sexual orientations, they'll basically all agree that angels are beautiful. Well, except for those who don't like wings."

After saying that, Wang Lei mixed a cup of Sunset Berry Tea for Angel Chase on the spot. "Nice to meet you, Angel Chase. I'm Wang Lei. Please take care of me in the future."

Angel Chase was quite satisfied with Wang Lei's attitude. She took a sip of the Sunset Berry Tea and nodded happily. "Mm, nice to meet you too."

Angel Yan immediately cried out in dissatisfaction, "Hey, Wang Lei, why did you serve fruit tea the moment you met Chase? When you met me last time, you gave me Soda Bean Juice. That's blatant favoritism!"

Ignoring Angel Yan's protest, Wang Lei continued mixing juice as he said, "I told you last time. For someone who came to my door with a fake VIP card, Soda Bean Juice was already pretty good. Even old North Star natives say it's authentic. Other people would kill for a chance to drink it."

He then handed the freshly mixed Aster Cloud Rainbow to Angel Yan and continued, "What brings you here this time? Also, how did you know I had a more convenient way of traveling? Were you watching the fight with that big crocodile just now?"

Angel Yan sampled the Aster Cloud Rainbow and nodded in satisfaction. Then she looked at Wang Lei with an intensely provocative gaze. "Such a huge commotion naturally couldn't escape our notice. And that big crocodile called Soton was sealed by Chase before. But Wang Lei, it's only been a few days since we last met, and your strength has improved quite a bit. Before, you needed to put on that armor to have the combat power of a first-generation warrior. Now, even without that armor, you're already at the level of a second-generation warrior, close to a third-generation one, aren't you? That flame was 3,000 degrees. Work a little harder, and you might even catch up to the temperature of Flame Judgment. Even I wouldn't dare take it head-on."

Wang Lei rolled his eyes at Angel Yan and replied speechlessly, "Give me a break. What's the use of high temperature alone? It'd be a miracle if my flames could even touch you. Don't you have the title of Thunder War God? I heard your lightning is stellar-scale. It can even damage divine bodies and be used as a God-Slaying Weapon. Isn't that far stronger than my little bit of fire?"

Angel Yan nodded, then leaned back and showed off her graceful figure. "You really do know me well. That puts me at ease. Looks like I'm still quite charming after all. And Wang Lei, you don't need to belittle yourself. With your current strength, you should rank around the middle among the younger generation of angels. You're still so young. Your future is vast. But that future must exist beneath justice."

The moment Wang Lei heard that, he knew angels loved testing people. He shrugged, looking unconcerned. "Yes, yes, yes, beneath justice. Say, Angel Yan, you didn't come here today just to lecture me about the Justice Order, did you? At my level, I don't think I'm important enough to need Keisha's Holy Left Wing to personally explain the Justice Order to me."

Seeing Wang Lei's attitude, Angel Yan sighed softly and placed two small bottles of blue liquid before him. "This is the most basic Dark Dimension Gene Engine you asked for. You can take it orally or inject it. But take note: even the basic model, without the support of a Super Gene, will kill an ordinary person the instant they activate the Gene Engine. An ordinary person cannot provide the energy required by a Gene Engine. Even if someone else provides the energy, their genes still won't be sufficient to support its operation. It will cause genetic rupture. The lucky ones will mutate. The unlucky ones will die on the spot."

Wang Lei nodded to show that he understood. Then, deliberately using Aether Encoding, he quantized the two bottles of Gene Engine fluid and locked them inside a designated Quantum Space.

Angel Chase looked as though she had seen a ghost. Pointing at where the two bottles had just been, she stammered, "H-how is that possible? They were directly quantized. Isn't it only data that can be quantized? How can physical objects be quantized too?"

Though it was impossible to tell what Angel Yan was feeling inside, at least her expression remained calm. She patted Angel Chase, telling her not to get worked up. Then she leaned her face directly in front of Wang Lei's. Wang Lei felt as if he could smell the fragrant breath escaping her lips. "Little brother Wang Lei, it seems you've been hiding quite a lot of secrets from your big sister. We'll need to have a good, deep exchange."

At that moment, Wang Lei frantically reminded himself, Angel Yan can't read my information. Don't chicken out. Absolutely don't chicken out. Don't retreat even half a step. If this queen of dirty talk actually dares to kiss me, it's not like I'll be losing out anyway.

So Wang Lei did not retreat at all. Looking straight at Angel Yan, whose face was perhaps only two or three centimeters from his, he said, "An exchange needs to go both ways. If I'm the only one giving, that's not an exchange—that's a confession. Are you sure you want an exchange, not a confession?"

Angel Yan realized she had failed to scare Wang Lei and had instead made things awkward for herself. It was not as though she was actually used to being this close to a man. She had merely assumed that a young boy like Wang Lei, who had never experienced abstinence, would instinctively back away when she got so close. Then, asking questions would have become much easier.

Thus, Angel Yan could only pull back and return to her seat. With a mischievous smile, she said, "Fine, an exchange it is. Do you want to know my measurements? Or Chase's? I can tell you either."

Seeing that this old driver with zero actual experience was trying to make things suggestive again, Wang Lei immediately shut her down.

"No need. I haven't directly read your data, but based on the volume of air displaced by your bodies, then factoring in a calculation model and subtracting the thickness of your armor, I already know your measurements—as long as you aren't padded. And I also know that Angel Yan is seven thousand years old and has never dated anyone. Technically, someone like me with a prospective girlfriend has more experience than you. So stop trying to seduce me. I know perfectly well that unless I become a god, you, Angel Yan, won't even look at me."

Angel Yan did not care in the slightest about the offense in Wang Lei's words. Since she had brought up measurements herself, she could hardly be hypocritical and forbid Wang Lei from using them to retort. Besides, Wang Lei truly knew a great deal about her. For the first time, Angel Yan felt a trace of curiosity toward him.

"Interesting. Though I'd like to charge you with desecrating an angel, I, Angel Yan, am not someone who can't take a joke. Then let me ask you, Wang Lei—do you think you can become a god?"

Wang Lei answered with utter confidence, "That's inevitable. With Earth in its current state, how can I protect my homeland amid so many enemies without becoming a god? Should I really rely on those alien refugees from the Super God Academy? Judging by their actions, they haven't done anything to harm this planet. But it must be said that the Super Genes they spread were the fuse that drew the gods' attention to Earth. The angels want Galaxy Power, the Demons want the inheritor of the spacetime gene, Blazing Sun wants Earth itself, and Styx... heh. As far as Carl is concerned, what's happening on Earth may be an experiment—or perhaps a conspiracy."

Angel Yan nodded slightly, somewhat accustomed to this by now, while Angel Chase was deeply shocked that Wang Lei, an Earth native, knew so much about the gods of the universe.

Especially the Demons. Even now, the angels had not figured out what the Demons had come here to do. In fact, they did not even know whether the Demons had truly arrived. And becoming a god... wasn't Wang Lei being a little too confident? Did he not know how difficult it was to become a god? Seeing that the two angels had fallen silent, Wang Lei could only speak again. "All right. Since neither of you can think of what to trade for my information, I'll make a request myself. Do you have a device that can detect spacetime fluctuations within a certain range? It doesn't need to cover much. A dozen or so square kilometers will do."

Angel Yan and Angel Chase exchanged a glance. After the latter nodded, Angel Yan said, "Of course we do. But what do you want something so meaningless for? This thing is trigger-based. It can't directly search for spatial anomalies, and it isn't very sensitive either. With a Gene Engine—even a first-generation one—your search efficiency would be higher than this."

"It's fine. This is what I want. Oh, and it isn't too big, right? Don't bring me something that can't even fit inside a truck."

Hearing that, Angel Chase directly took out a disc roughly half a meter in diameter through a Micro Wormhole.

"This is a small wormhole detector I modified. It should meet your requirements."

Then Angel Chase attempted to transmit the instructions to Wang Lei.

Angel Chase's action frightened Wang Lei so badly that cold sweat nearly broke out. He did not have a Gene Engine. How was he supposed to receive data?

Fortunately, Aether Encoding was all-powerful in the electronic realm. Wang Lei quickly discovered Angel Chase's application to transmit information to him through Ether Scan, then immediately imitated a system of the same specifications and received the data.

But the instant he received it, Angel Chase pulled out her Flame Sword, pressed it against Wang Lei's neck, and roared, "Bastard, you're Heaven Dregs!!"

Wang Lei was completely dumbfounded. Why had she suddenly attacked without warning? He hurriedly slipped through a gap away from the Flame Sword and wildly waved both hands. "What's going on? How did I become Heaven Dregs? Angel Chase, why are you suddenly drawing your sword?"

Angel Chase continued pointing her sword at Wang Lei and said furiously, "And you still say you aren't! The interface you used to receive the data was identical to an angel's. That proves you're an angel too. So how are you not Heaven Dregs? And now, all the mysteries surrounding you are explained."

The moment Wang Lei heard that, he cried inwardly at the injustice. But he also thought Angel Chase was far too scheming. She had deliberately used a Gene Engine to transmit data, intending to determine what series of Gene Engine he had based on his receiving interface. But now he had to explain himself quickly, or the Flame Sword was about to come down.

"Damn, so that was the reason. My ability is rather special. Just now, I deliberately mimicked the interface you use to transmit data. If you don't believe me, switch to another transmission interface—I can still become exactly like you."

Angel Chase still didn't believe Wang Lei. Just as she was about to say, "Excuses!" Angel Yan stopped her. "Chase, give it a try. Wang Lei is most likely not one of the Heaven Dregs. He doesn't have that lecherous look in his eyes."

Seeing this, Angel Chase could only try changing the data interface through which she sent Wang Lei information. Everything she transmitted consisted of words like "Heaven Dregs" and "liar."

Wang Lei used Aether Encoding to mimic each interface and replied with responses such as, "I'm not," and "Don't talk nonsense."

After trying several more times, Angel Chase realized that she had misunderstood him. She immediately withdrew her Flame Sword, her face flushing as she bowed in apology.

"I'm sorry, Wang Lei. I misunderstood you. You're not one of the Heaven Dregs..."

Wang Lei figured she was pretty, and he couldn't beat her anyway. Otherwise, after she had drawn her sword just now, he would have had to draw his own at the very least. But now, he could only wave it off. "It's fine, it's fine. As long as the misunderstanding has been cleared up. This also happens to complete our earlier deal. Let me explain my ability. You can think of it as my ability to quantize real-world objects, then reconstruct and reproduce them in the form of data."

After saying that, Wang Lei casually picked up two glass cups, quantized them, then modified and restored them into the likenesses of Angel Yan and Angel Chase.

The next second, following quantum reconstruction, the glass cups turned into two lifelike miniature models of Angel Yan and Angel Chase.

Angel Yan and Angel Chase held their respective models and examined them over and over. Then Angel Chase suddenly blushed. Angel Yan gave a mischievous smile.

"Little Brother Wang Lei, you really did scan our measurements? The proportions of these two models are exactly the same as ours. You even thoughtfully made them non-integrated. Two layers of glass—the inner layer naked, and the outer layer wearing our armor."

Only then did Wang Lei realize what he had done. To prove his ability, he had instinctively used the most detailed algorithm to make the two models. Looking over the parameters he had just set, his old face immediately turned red. Angel Yan and Angel Chase really did have amazing figures...
