The middle-aged man's eyes were dull. He managed a weak smile. "Please, go ahead." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the group and landed on Hai Qiqi. He stared in shock. "Qi Qi? What are you doing here?"
Hai Qiqi stepped forward. "Uncle Tie, long time no see."
"Qi Qi?" A startled cry came from farther away. Hai Qiqi shuddered and turned toward it. Delighted, she exclaimed, "Baobao!"

Lu Yin was surprised. A hundredfold difference meant the gravity on the highest island reached two thousand times normal.
The strongest gravity he had ever endured was three hundred times normal. It wasn't that he couldn't withstand more; he simply hadn't had the chance. Given his current physical strength, he
