In a restaurant in the Sky Garden.
With a cigar in his mouth and his body fully recovered, he sat before a claw machine, silently looking at the penguin plush inside, then at the little girl beside him, and sighed.
"Look... these things have a guaranteed payout mechanism set by the business. If you don't get it, just keep trying. Didn't I give you spending money?"

"AI?"
Fan Huo knew very well that Ye Qiyan had many powerful mechanical lifeforms around him.
But from what he knew of Ye Qiyan, there was no way the man would be willing to sell any of those around him, was there?
