After half an hour, much to Li Yang's surprise, a woman wearing obvious Exoskeleton Armor scaled the building like a martial artist from a wuxia drama, arriving on the rooftop.

"Yu Dong, are you alright...?"

The woman was carrying a large box. After appearing on the rooftop, she looked at the emaciated man slumped on the ground and immediately stepped forward with concern in her eyes to ask.

Through the drone's view, it was clear the woman had a good figure, but she was so dirty that it didn't spark any desire.

Especially not for Li Yang, who was well-fed and content.

"I'm fine. Don't look at this collar. Did you bring everything I asked you to prepare?"

Yu Dong shook his head. Seeing the woman's gaze fixed on the collar around his neck, he weakly shook his head again and asked her.

The woman pursed her lips and took out a bag of long, milky-white substances from her person, handing it to Yu Dong. Yu Dong took it and immediately consumed its contents. After eating, he instantly felt much better. He then nodded at the woman, who then took out a testing device the size of a calculator from the box she was carrying.

Following that, she also took out an iron ball that automatically floated up.

"It's all here. Spirit One's data has been wiped. There's only a pure intelligent system left, along with information on how to operate that computing platform, its operating principles, maintenance knowledge, etc. Everything that could be found and everything I know is in there."

The woman opened the iron ball, and a light illuminated on it. It then automatically floated beside her, hovering in the air. The iron ball had a circular area like an eye glowing with blue light, resembling a small flying robot.

The woman pointed at the iron ball, glanced at the drone flying in the air, and spoke to the man lying on the ground.

"Sir, this is the testing device, and this is Spirit One. It only contains the purest system and operational information. Look, can I give these things to you?"

Yu Dong didn't speak. Instead, he looked at the drone in the sky and asked pleadingly. The woman who came to rescue him cautiously squatted in the corner, lowering her head and not daring to look too much.

"So, this guy is called Yu Dong."

At the back door of the gold shop, Li Yang stood up and twisted his waist, rubbing his slightly sore backside from sitting. He then sat back down in the chair, his gaze fixed on the video feed displayed on the screen, thinking to himself.

Yu Dong, Sun Er. These were the only two names he knew in this world.

His gaze focused on the floating iron ball, and he frowned slightly.

What... what is this thing?

An information storage device with an intelligent system?

Damn it, maybe having such high-level technology isn't so great after all. He didn't know how to use any of it.

"Provide this information to me in paper form."

Li Yang frowned and maneuvered the drone's camera to look at the detection device. The functions displayed on it made Li Yang sigh in relief. There was only a [Detect] button and several indicator lights: [No Radiation], [Low Radiation], [Harmless Radiation], [Low Hazard Radiation], [Medium Hazard Radiation], [High Hazard Radiation].

Clearly, all he had to do was press detect, and the result would be shown by the indicator lights. This was the kind of technology he liked.

Hmm... and the Slave Collar, simple and easy to understand, how convenient.

Most importantly... the simpler something was, the harder it was to hide any incomprehensible high-tech elements. What if someone installed some technological means on these things to control him, and he couldn't even sense it? That would be a disaster.

Everything was just beginning now, so he had to be even more cautious.

Hearing Li Yang's words, the two on the rooftop were taken aback. Even the woman with her head buried in her legs was startled. Only then, at the man's urging, did she fumbling put her Exoskeleton Armor back on and go to change the method of recording the information.

After waiting a while longer, the woman, holding a stack of white paper that looked like A4 paper, used the power of her Exoskeleton Armor to climb onto the rooftop as light as a swallow, displaying the stack of paper in front of the drone's camera.

"Tie these things to this drone as well. Now, I have one more question for you."

Li Yang looked enviously at their Exoskeleton Armor, then controlled one drone to descend for them to tie the items on and send them over. Then, the first drone faced them, its gaze flickering:

"Can Genetic Potions perfectly match everyone's physique? If used on monkeys or other animals, can they produce results?"

Li Yang deliberately used the word 'perfectly' to guide the conversation without causing any special attention, anticipating the answer.

If not, then how could it be done? Was there a solution?

If they weren't sure, then how could they test if someone perfectly matched a tube of potion?

The second question was the answer Li Yang wanted.

Yu Dong, wearing the steel ring, glanced at the screen with a somewhat blank look. However, the woman beside him timely raised her head.

"Sir, Genetic Potions don't need to perfectly match to be effective. However, a perfectly matched potion will have better results. Are you looking for a machine to test potion matching? But that kind of thing is only sold in Base Cities. The price, plus delivery fees, would cost up to five thousand Base Currency to get here."

"The potions are all developed for humans. Using them on wild beasts would only act as nutritional supplements, with no other effects. However, I've heard there are also specialized pet potions, but they are extremely rare."

He asked the right question!

Li Yang didn't care about pets, but the key was... the testing machine.

"Okay, do you know how to sell things to earn Base Currency?"

Li Yang spoke into the controller with a seemingly calm tone, though he was overjoyed internally.

"We have Base Network accounts and can sell items online. We've also had records of trading with Base City stores. We can sell items to stores, but the recycling value will be less than selling online."

The woman quickly spoke, her voice filled with flattery.

Li Yang looked at her attitude and nodded secretly. In a world where lives were as cheap as grass, it was understandable for a slave to do their best to show their value.

"Not bad. I heard you lack food. So, what were you planning to exchange for food before?"

Li Yang looked at the controller screen and asked in a more relaxed tone. As he spoke, the sound of a drone hovering came from outside the back door. He got up to retrieve the drone, untied the straps, and smiled as he put the twenty sheets of paper documents and a test device the size of a phone into his backpack.

"Chang Yanyan made a complete and functional set of basic Exoskeleton Armor. It's equipped with low-level intelligence and is a good helper. We hoped to exchange it for enough food to survive for three months..."
