"Forehead..."

Ling Xi was speechless for a moment, and said with a helpless smile, "I'm telling you, it's been a week, and you're still holding a grudge?"

"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you."

Danzhu gave a soft hum, then took Cangxuan's arm, and the two walked together toward the living room.

"..."

Ling Xi simply smiled at this, not worried that Danzhu would ignore her, because...

That girl will definitely come looking for me tonight on her own initiative. After all, that's just her personality. Although she likes to cause trouble, she's very easy to coax.

"Welcome back, Ling Xi."

At this moment, Hua also came out, looking at Ling Xi with a meaningful smile.

"Okay, Hua, let's go inside and talk."

Ling Xi smiled at Hua, then pulled Hua to go home to talk. Although it was springtime, the temperature here was still a bit cold, nothing like the South China Sea.

It would be wonderful to have a home in the South China Sea. I could go South China Sea for winter vacations and come back here to escape the summer heat. It would be perfect!

It's a pity that although there is a lot of aviation fuel, in this day and age, fuel is naturally used up as it is used up, so it cannot be wasted.

"Sister, have you buried all those spheres yet?"

In the living room, Danzhu was looking at Cangxuan with some curiosity, asking him about the sphere.

"Hmm, that's about it."

Cangxuan nodded slightly and smiled, "I buried the spheres according to the time sequence. Some of them will probably appear in two or three thousand years. They can display images without analysis. At that time, they may be passed down as divine miracles. As for the rest, they will basically have to wait until humanity reaches the industrial age or the information age to be discovered. Even if they are discovered in advance, humanity does not have enough technology to analyze them. In short..."

Cangxuan said confidently, "The sphere can ensure the inheritance of technology, but it will not cause humans to trigger the Honkai's screening mechanism too early. After all, if humans want to analyze the sphere, they must have the corresponding technology. And since they already have the corresponding technology, obtaining the knowledge in the sphere probably won't increase the Honkai too much."

"Hmm, in my opinion, we should also install some Soul Steel Computers in our homes."

Danzhu hummed softly, "After all, over these thousands of years, I will definitely forget the knowledge I had back then. Backing up and storing the knowledge is the safest way."

"Heh, no need for that."

Cangxuan shook his head slightly and smiled, "Don't forget that the Doctor and the others are still here. Besides, during the hibernation period, the Doctor has secretly prepared countless methods to store knowledge. Moreover, the Doctor himself is synonymous with knowledge. So we only need to ensure that the Project Fireseed proceeds smoothly. We don't need to consider other things for the time being."

"Um... okay."

Danzhu nodded thoughtfully, thinking about it. It made sense; although she and her sister were both Doctor, their research abilities would probably rank in the top 100 Previous Era, but...

Compared to his own Doctor and Doctor Mobius, they are not even in the same league!

And now, the Doctor is still alive, Doctor Mobius is still alive, and in the future...

Hmm, it seems I really don't need to worry about it. In the future, after the Doctor rebuilds the research institute, my sister and I can continue to slack off in the Doctor's lab... uh, no, I mean, go to work!

After dinner, Ling Xi was pulled back to the room by Cangxuan to get down to business!

Um, this isn't about that kind of serious business, it's about the really important stuff!

"Little Xuan, are you sure you can fix it?"

In the room, Ling Xi looked at the Honkai Energy detection device in front of her, and then at the pile of various things on the ground that Ling Xi had never seen before, and was somewhat speechless.

Just looking at this huge pile of stuff is enough to make you dizzy, let alone assembling it. Even assembling a Gundam back in the day wasn't this troublesome.

"There are instructions, it can definitely be fixed."

Cangxuan gently tapped the Soul Steel Computer in front of him, and then unfolded the holographic image of the device. Although he didn't want to be a mechanical engineering major, he wasn't repairing instruments now, but just assembling them according to the steps, so it wasn't a big problem.

If some parts are broken, you can check them and then go to the new hidden base to find the corresponding parts.

In short, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Honkai Energy detection device can definitely be repaired. Rather, Cangxuan has never worried that she won't be able to repair it. What she is worried about... is something else entirely!

Something that both Ling Xi and I had vaguely sensed, but were unwilling to accept...

"Little Xuan, if..."

Ling Xi looked at Cangxuan, just about to speak...

"Creak..."

Suddenly, the door opened, and a Danzhu peeked out, smiling, and asked, "Sister, Ling Xi, what are you two doing sneakily in the room?"

Chapter 512: What game are you playing? You are the game!

Danzhu opened the door and peeked in, expecting to see something exciting, but instead...

"Huh?"

Seeing the two of them circling around a piece of equipment, Danzhu suddenly felt a little bored. It was a pity that she didn't catch Ling Xi and her sister causing trouble.

"Little sister, you've come at the perfect time."

Upon seeing Danzhu appear, Cangxuan's eyes lit up. He immediately grabbed Danzhu's hand and said with a smile, "This is the Honkai Energy detection device we brought back this time. However, most of the parts haven't been installed yet. We have time tonight, so let's install them together."

"Um?"

Upon hearing Cangxuan's words, Danzhu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but...

Cangxuan grabbed her hand from the start, and now she really can't escape even if she wants to.

"Um, sister."

So Danzhu could only laugh awkwardly and say, "You and Ling Xi have been away for a week, you must be very tired from the long journey, so... why don't we rest well today and talk about the assembly in a few days?"

Clearly, Danzhu didn't want to assemble it with Cangxuan, since this thing was prone to causing hair loss.

"Hmph, you little brat, are you trying to slack off?"

Hearing his younger sister's words, Cangxuan knew exactly what she was thinking; clearly, her lazy spirit was burning.

"Hehe..."

Danzhu smiled somewhat embarrassedly, although she knew she couldn't possibly hide it from her sister...

"Little Xuan, why don't we listen to Danzhu?"

At this moment, Ling Xi spoke up, laughing, "Anyway, we've already brought everything back, so there's no rush. Why don't we get some rest tonight and talk about assembly in a few days?"

To be honest, Ling Xi also hoped that Cangxuan could get some rest. After all, the two of them had been running around outside for a whole week. Although with her around, Cangxuan wouldn't go hungry, cold, or tired, but...

After all, I had been away from home for a whole week, so it was inevitable that I would feel tired.

Moreover, Cangxuan is still just an ordinary human, so Ling Xi naturally doesn't want her to get sick from overworking.

"Okay, fine."

Seeing that Ling Xi had already said so, Cangxuan had no choice but to give up and said with a smile, "Ling Xi, put the things away for now, we'll deal with them in a few days."

"Okay, Little Xuan."

Ling Xi nodded decisively, and then directly put all the instruments and various parts into the System Space.

"Wait... Little Xuan?"

At this moment, Danzhu seemed to realize something and asked, "Ling Xi, why do you call my sister Little Xuan?"

"Hmm? Well, that's because..."

Ling Xi paused for a moment, about to answer, but Cangxuan beat her to it.

"Younger sister."

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "Given the current relationship between Ling Xi and me, is there any problem with using a more intimate term of address for each other?"

"Huh? This..."

Danzhu paused for a moment, then realized... that's how it is. Given their current relationship with Ling Xi, they could easily use any intimate terms, like "darling" or "wife."

"Then I want one too."

Danzhu immediately snorted at Ling Xi, "Why do you call me 'Sister Little Xuan' but still call me by my name? Ling Xi, you have to call me 'Xiao...' too?"

At this point, Danzhu seemed to realize something as well. Cangxuan, Danzhu, Little Xuan, Xiao...

"Little Zhu?"

Cangxuan looked at his younger sister with a smile.

Danzhu "..."

"Puff..."

Ling Xi certainly didn't dare to shout it out, but she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Snort."

In the end, Danzhu simply turned her face away, not wanting to pay attention to the two of them. She seriously suspected that they were deliberately trying to trick her.

"Okay, okay, Danzhu."

Ling Xi was both amused and exasperated by this, and quickly and gently hugged Danzhu, saying with a smile, "It's just a form of address, it doesn't represent any special meaning. No matter what I call you, you two are equally important to me."

"Hmph, anyone can say nice things..."

Danzhu was still somewhat unwilling, after all, it was her own name... sigh, it's exhausting to talk about it too much.

"Danzhu, I'll play games with you tonight, for as long as you want."

Ling Xi decisively diverted Danzhu's attention, and the girl's favorite things right now were nothing more than games and figurines.

"Mmm... Okay!"

Seeing that Ling Xi had said so, Danzhu stopped pressing the matter, after all...

Even if Ling Xi asked her to call him "wife" or "darling," she wouldn't dare accept it. Whether in front of her sister or Hua, if Ling Xi called her that, she would be so embarrassed she'd be scratching her toes!

"Then you guys have fun, I'm not participating."

Cangxuan yawned and stretched lazily, then laughed, "I'm planning to take a shower and get some rest. By the way, little sister, why don't you stay home tonight? Let me have the bed and get some rest."

"Okay, no problem!"

Before Cangxuan could answer, Ling Xi gave her reply directly, holding Danzhu tightly while smiling firmly, "Don't worry, Little Xuan, you should get some rest tonight. As for Danzhu... I guarantee she won't have a chance to come back tonight."

Danzhu: "???"

Hey, why don't you ask for my opinion? I... I've just been sold off like this?

Oh well, I'm not losing out anyway. My sister always fights with me for seats, and tonight...

Hmph, Ling Xi is mine now.

"Let's go, Ling Xi, let's go back to our room."

Since her sister wanted to rest, Danzhu decided not to disturb her any further...

"Danzhu".

As soon as he returned to his room, Ling Xi put Danzhu on the bed and gently restrained her.

"Huh?"

Although Danzhu was already used to this kind of thing, she still asked somewhat speechlessly, "Didn't you promise to play games with me?"

"Hey, well..."

Ling Xi chuckled softly, "Danzhu, from now on... how about I call you Game?"

Danzhu: "???" You son of a bitch...

"Are you... in such a hurry?"

Faced with Ling Xi's initiative, Danzhu didn't want to refuse, but she still seemed a little helpless. This guy had never been this proactive when the two of them were together before. Could it be... that his sister was starving him?

"Because I miss Danzhu very much."

Ling Xi said shamelessly, "Although I spent this week with your sister, every time I played games with her... cough cough, I couldn't help but think of Danzhu."

Danzhu: "..." I don't believe you for a second...

"Hmph, then why didn't you take me with you when you left?"
