Oh no! A monster is trying to steal the Little Oil Lamp! (Red Comet Mars Ten Thousand Reward Extra Chapter 2)

Little Oil Lamp was eager to try, but Shen Le held it down for dear life and carried it toward the power station.

The Special Affairs Bureau's vehicle drove to the entrance of the solar power plant, where they switched to the plant's own engineering vehicle.

Shen Le sucked in a breath. Those numbers were truly enormous. No wonder they had
