“Then you’ll find that the most core indicator affecting the mobility of the mothership is the mass of the mothership itself… Understand? That is to say, the first approach actually took a big detour and ultimately circled back to the path of minimizing the external storage device for True Yuan, so I think there is no point in attempting it.”

“I understand.” General Zhang nodded.

Many of the surrounding researchers also showed a look of relief. Actually, there were quite a few experts supporting the second approach, but research projects require regular reporting of results, and all these pressures rest on the shoulders of the leaders, which sometimes inevitably leads to choosing more immediate and beneficial solutions… But with Yan Yu, as Lu Country’s Sword Bearer, having made his stance clear, the leader couldn’t very well say “No, I insist on doing it my way.”

“Speaking of Mortal Warriors, next, please inspect the training status of our base’s Mortal Warriors.” General Zhang smiled and continued, “Hearing that Lu Country’s Sword Bearer was coming, all the soldiers were very excited.”

“There’s no rush for that.” Yan Yu tactfully said, “It’s getting late, let’s make it 10 o’clock tomorrow morning; let the soldiers have a good night’s sleep.”

“Alright.” General Zhang immediately gave the order to let the standing-by Mortal Warriors rest and had his adjutant lead the two to their guest rooms.

Two guest rooms…

Yan Yu muttered to himself that the leader was really oblivious, then he quickly rinsed and prepared for bed.

Just after lying down, he received a video call invitation from Su Yunjin.

Upon accepting the call, Su Yunjin’s pretty smiling face immediately appeared against the backdrop of the deep sea under the night sky. She first waved to Yan Yu, then lifted the iron bucket in her hand and aimed the camera at her bountiful catch, proudly saying:

“Captain! How did you know I caught so many fish?”

Yan Yu was first taken aback, then immediately retorted:

“Who asked you!”

Damn fisherman, give me back my gentle Yun Jin!

“It’s mainly flounder and soft tofu fish.” Su Yunjin, with a beaming smile, continued, “When we go back, how about I cook a seafood feast for you?”

“It seems like you had a great haul this time.” Yan Yu casually said.

“I’m just really lucky.” Su Yunjin moved the camera towards Chen Lingyun next to her; her bucket was empty, and she was leisurely daydreaming while holding a fishing rod.

“Where did this little air force come from?” Yan Yu purposefully said loudly, “What’s the matter, the fish don’t like you?”

“The fish I like aren’t here.” Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

Before Yan Yu had the chance to tease her further, Xie Ruoxi suddenly burst into the frame, crying out:

“Captain! Besides Yun Jin and Anna, none of us caught any fish! It’s so hard!”

“Not catching fish is quite normal.” Yan Yu said, “Fishing at sea is about enjoying the sea view and the breeze; if you really want fish, why don’t you go net fishing?”

“But the sea view isn’t even nice at night!” Xie Ruoxi’s eyes welled up with tears, “An entire evening that could’ve been spent watching dramas, binge-watching anime, or playing games all wasted!”

“It’s okay.” Anna entered the frame from the side, waved at Yan Yu, then said to Xie Ruoxi, “I caught three fish; I’ll give you one.”

Xie Ruoxi was completely floored. Is it the one fish I’m missing? What I lack is the joy and sense of achievement from catching a fish! Isn’t this just like getting power-leveled to max level and then announcing it’s game over?

“Let me tell you, you all are just too impatient.” Lin Ning joined in, “Fishing is something that shouldn’t be rushed, look at my rod sitting there, no bites for half a day, and I’m not anxious at all…”

“Lin Ning, your fishing rod is moving!” Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly exclaimed.

“Ah? Where, where?” Lin Ning immediately sprung up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

The girls hurriedly gathered around to help Lin Ning hold the fishing rod. Judging by the tension in the line, it seemed to be a big catch.

In the chaos, the phone was left on a small folding stool by Su Yunjin. Yan Yu could only see a dark screen on his end, interspersed with the girls’ surprise cries:

“Quick, pull it in, pull it in!”

“You can’t pull too fast; the line will break! You need to let it out and in!”

“So I’ll let it out first… Is that enough?”

“That’s enough, that’s enough, you’ve let out all the line, now pull it back!”

“`

Fish had already taken the bait, but for some reason, it seemed like it would still be a while, so Yan Yu hung up the video call first and decided to check in with them later to see if they had caught anything.

On the other side, Li Minghu lay on her bedroom bed, her expression fraught with conflict.

Zhenhai Team’s villa was full of people, so Yan Yu would definitely have reservations. This might be the only chance to be alone, and if she didn’t seize it, there would be no opportunity after he returned to Jinling with everyone!

Thinking of this, she hardened her heart. True Yuan surged within her, assaulting her lung meridian, causing her to suddenly vomit blood.

Valkyrie, the epitome of skill perfection, even faked internal injuries to an art. Her pulse appeared completely chaotic, her coughing incessant, but in reality, she only expelled the stagnant blood accumulated lately, without harming her own cultivation foundation.

She rushed through the wall into Yan Yu’s room and cried for help:

“Cough! Cough cough! Yan Yu, medicine, medicine!”

Seeing her coughing urgently, Yan Yu didn’t think about anything else. He quickly took out an Elixir Medicine and helped her swallow one with water.

After Li Minghu’s expression eased a bit, he asked with concern:

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you just take your medicine?”

“I don’t know.” Li Minghu felt a bit guilty inside, but her expression was purely innocent, “Suddenly my True Yuan became disordered and my throat irresistibly itchy…”

Yan Yu held her acupoint and injected True Yuan to examine her. He found that although her breath was disordered, it was not weak, indicating that the meridians were not seriously damaged, and it was likely due to excessive physical or mental consumption.

The effect of the Elixir Medicine quickly restored her breath, but the following side effects were somewhat troublesome…

Yan Yu went to the room’s door, glanced outside to make sure no one was there, then locked the door. Just as he turned around, Li Minghu pounced on him.

Eh? Strange, the medicinal effect shouldn’t be this quick!

Well, whatever, get to work first.

The two quickly became entangled. Yan Yu struggled to endure Li Minghu’s onslaught while injecting True Yuan into her body’s major acupoints to rapidly refine the remaining medicinal power in various areas.

Suddenly, the phone rang again amidst the busyness. He managed to check it, and it was still a video invitation from Yun Jin.

Tsk tsk tsk… Switch to voice call!

“Captain, why no video?” Right after the call connected, Lin Ning’s unhappy reproach came from the other side, “I wanted to show you the fish I just caught!”

“It was us who caught it!” Someone nearby shouted.

“Alright, alright, I got it; okay, I’m hanging up now.” Yan Yu was about to hang up when he heard Lin Ning from the other side again:

“Wait a sec! I caught a wild yellow croaker! One taels of yellow croaker for one tael of gold, you know!”

“Then quickly sell it so you have your three golds for getting married!” Yan Yu thought to himself, I’m busy with important things here, doesn’t matter what fish you’ve caught, even if it’s a mermaid we can talk about it later.

Li Minghu pounced again, apparently upset that Yan Yu was tending to the phone instead of paying attention to her and planted a fierce kiss on his face.

“What’s that sound?” Lin Ning asked, “What are you doing?”

“Celebrating for you, I was popping a champagne cork,” Yan Yu quickly replied and his finger instantly hit the “mute” button on the screen.

Lin Ning could no longer hear anything on her side but said:

“Haha, no need to go all out with champagne. I’m going to process and freeze the yellow croaker. Do you want it braised or steamed tomorrow?”

Yan Yu barely managed to hold down Li Minghu and, after unmuting, said, “Either is fine,” then quickly muted again—the speed of his hands was incredibly fast, done in a swipe, making sure not a sound from Li Minghu leaked to the other side.

“Which one is ‘either’!” Lin Ning felt a bit aggrieved, I caught a wild yellow croaker and yet you’re so indifferent, you weren’t this evasive with Yun Jin earlier, what happened to fairness?

“I think braised is better, with some rice cakes,” Zhao Yuanzhen chimed in beside her, “Yan Yu, do you eat rice cakes?”

“I’m fine with anything, hanging up now,” Yan Yu quickly replied and didn’t bother with Lin Ning’s feelings, hastily ending the call to free his hands.

Hey! Minghu, stop that, don’t go after my rice cakes!
