As Hexi was immersed in the immense shock brought by the profound "Infinite Regeneration Technology" coding, a familiar prompt tone sounded in Si Yao's mind:
[Ding!]
[Your lie made Angel Hexi, Holy Keisha, Angel Yan, Angel Chase, Angel Zhi Xin, Angel Mo Yi, and others believe it. The existence of "Infinite Regeneration Technology" and the "Primordial Realm Divine Power · Phoenix" Super Gene has been cognitively anchored!]
["Infinite Regeneration Technology" complete manifestation degree increased to 70%!]
["Primordial Realm Divine Power · Phoenix" complete Super Gene manifestation degree increased to 40%!]
[Gained True Point: 1,000,000]
[Current True Point: 5,622,000]
Looking at the True Points that had increased by a million at once on the panel, and the leap in manifestation progress for the two key technologies, Si Yao was in a great mood.
As expected, catering to their interests, to gain the trust of technicians like Hexi, a certain degree of technical sharing was necessary.
Giving them an incomplete version, as long as Hexi and the others believed it, he would soon possess the complete version.
It was like snowballing.
Si Yao was in a good mood, feeling that today's "business" was complete, and he was about to take Su Xiao Li to leave this place of right and wrong.
However, the moment he turned around, a slender arm suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed his arm.
It was Hexi!
The Skybase King, at this moment, had none of the rigor and focus of a Research Maniac from before.
She pointed to the clone beside them, pierced by Morgana's Dark Silver Chain with its Energy Core damaged, and said in a tone Si Yao had never heard before, a mix of acting cute and acting shameless:
"Hey, Si Yao! Since you've already helped, why not see it through to the end! Look at my clone, it was damaged by Morgana, it's such a shame. Could you also... fix it for me?"
Si Yao: "..."
He looked at the Skybase King, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, holding his arm and not letting go, her face clearly showing "If you don't fix it, I won't let go." He was momentarily speechless.
Wasn't this situation a bit off?
However, considering how helpful Hexi had been today, generously contributing a massive amount of True Points, Si Yao finally sighed.
"Let go."
He reached out his hand again, and a soft white light emerged from his palm, enveloping the damaged clone.
After consuming tens of thousands of True Points, the clone, which had chaotic energy and was about to completely die, rapidly recovered to its original state, as if time were flowing backward.
Seeing the clone repaired, Si Yao even worried if the Skybase King would take this opportunity to make even more outrageous demands. Without any further hesitation, he directly grabbed Su Xiao Li, who was watching the excitement nearby, and with a flash of his body, he instantly disappeared without a trace.
He ran away.
Watching Si Yao's figure disappear into the air like an ink drop thrown into water, leaving only a faint spatial ripple, Hexi, who was "left behind," still had a somewhat comical expression of acting cute and shameless that hadn't completely faded.
Beside her, Angel Yan, Chase, Mo Yi, and Zhi Xin, who had just recovered from their injuries and hadn't had time to properly thank him, looked at each other in dismay, each with an extremely strange expression on their faces, as if they had witnessed something that subverted their Three Views.
"Master?" Zhi Xin's voice carried obvious hesitation and uncertainty. She even wondered if she had some after-effects or hallucinations from Morgana's attack.
Was the woman who was just now holding a man's arm and asking him to fix a "toy" in a tone almost like a little girl acting cute, really the Skybase King Hexi she knew, who was unparalleled in the field of research, possessing both authority and wisdom?
Angel Yan's mouth twitched several times. Her blue eyes, always carrying a hint of teasing and playfulness, were now filled with shock and disbelief.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something teasing, but the words caught in her throat. Looking at Hexi's gradually calming expression, which now held a dangerous hint of "try looking again and see what happens," she swallowed them back.
No matter how bold she was, she wouldn't dare to tease the Skybase King, who was on the verge of social death, at this moment.
The consequences would definitely be more terrifying than being taken hostage by Morgana.
"What are you looking at?!" Hexi finally couldn't hold back, giving them an annoyed glare. "Haven't you seen it before?"
As she spoke, she walked to the clone that Si Yao had perfectly repaired, caressed its smooth cheek like a treasured possession, and muttered to herself: "This clone of mine is very precious! Each one is equipped with an independent Skybase Calculation Core, the materials are rare, and the manufacturing process is complex. Losing even one makes me feel heartbroken for a long time!"
"Now that I've finally met a generous donor... cough, a kind person, who can fix it with a wave of his hand, what's wrong with lowering my pride and acting cute? It doesn't cost me anything! What do you call this? This is called effectively utilizing resources, understand!"
Hexi's forced explanation left Yan and the others stunned.
"But... Master..." Zhi Xin, who was the most straightforward, couldn't help but quietly voice her question, "Mr. Si Yao... why was he so easy to talk to? He just helped when asked. And..."
She paused, her face full of incomprehension. "Helping is one thing, but he even... he even directly gave you part of the coding for the Infinite Regeneration Technology. This... this can't be explained by a simple return gift or transaction, can it?"
"Master, you and Mr. Si Yao, what exactly... is going on?"
Towards the end, Zhi Xin's voice grew softer, but the meaning conveyed in her eyes was obvious.
Could it be... just like Yan Jie gossiped, it's that?
Hexi was momentarily speechless by her student's direct and suggestive question.
She herself found it very strange!
If Si Yao helped Angel Yan and the others recover their injuries, it could still be explained as a casual act, or perhaps out of consideration for her having given him the sword.
But afterwards, not only did he repair her clone, but he also directly shared part of his core technology with her. This was a bit unusual.
That was the foundation of the "Phoenix" Super Gene! It was a top-tier technology that would make any God-Tier Civilization envious!
He just gave it away so casually? What was his motive?
Could it be...
He Xi's heart began to pound uncontrollably, and an idea that made her cheeks flush slightly surfaced without her permission.
Could it be that old fossil, who knows how many years he's been alive, is actually... interested in me?
Just as He Xi was lost in these absurd yet strangely thrilling thoughts, a familiar voice, laced with obvious teasing, sounded in her ear without warning. It was Holy Keisha's long-distance communication.
"He Xi, I think it's great," Keisha's voice held a hint of suppressed laughter. "I support you. Go for it."
"Keisha!!!" He Xi instantly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, both embarrassed and annoyed. She roared into the air, "Don't talk nonsense! There's nothing between him and me!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Keisha's tone was full of disbelief. "I saw it all very clearly. You received a meeting gift, you proactively shared core technology, and you even helped him repair a clone. He Xi, I've known you for tens of thousands of years, and I've never seen any male god make you so... proactive?"
"That was for scientific research! For the Angel Civilization!" He Xi tried to justify herself, but her confidence was clearly lacking.
"Alright, alright, it's all for civilization, I understand." Keisha chuckled lightly and stopped teasing her. But before hanging up, she delivered one last blow, "However, seriously, if you're not interested, don't lead him on. I think he... is quite good."
He Xi was so exasperated she was speechless. She felt that the calm and dignity she had built up over tens of thousands of years were utterly vulnerable in front of these two guys, Keisha and Si Yao!
She took a deep breath and retorted, "If you're so interested, why don't you go yourself! Aren't you always watching anyway?"
"Heh heh," Keisha let out a meaningful chuckle at her words, but her voice carried a hint of imperceptible, faint melancholy.
"Even if I had that intention..."
"What he likes is probably... not my type anyway."
He Xi nodded. "That's true. Who would like an old woman like you."
"..." Keisha.
"He Xi, are you asking for a beating?"
