The night descended like ink, slowly enveloping the entire world.

The hustle and bustle of a long day gradually settled into peace, and the Special Agent Bureau’s base appeared especially tranquil under the cover of night.

Lin Lang had just sat down in the guest room, ready to take a short rest.

Just then, a light knock came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Lin Lang responded.

Zou Limu opened the door and entered, his face showing a hint of inquiry.

Zou Limu walked up to Lin Lang, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then asked softly:

"Lin Lang, my young friend, I’m here to ask about that girl... Is she really a Fierce Beast, and what is your relationship with her?"

As soon as he spoke, he seemed to realize his question was somewhat abrupt and quickly added:

"I’m just purely curious, that’s all! No matter what, I trust your judgment. Our Special Agent Bureau isn’t the kind of reckless agency that kills Fierce Beasts on sight."

Lin Lang looked at Zou Limu, smiled slightly, and patiently explained:

"Elder Zou, Zhi Xi isn’t a Fierce Beast; she’s a Mermaid. This is a mysterious race that has existed in the world for a long time, with its own unique way of life and culture."

Then, Lin Lang briefly introduced the Merfolk Race to him.

Upon hearing this, Zou Limu couldn’t help but tilt his head slightly and sighed:

"The world is indeed full of wonders! If it weren’t for the arrival of the Red Mist and the drastic changes in the world, I’m afraid these secrets hidden in the world would be beyond our reach in a lifetime."

Lin Lang shared the sentiment but merely nodded silently.

Before the apocalypse descended, this world already had Martial Dao, Cultivation Dao, and various magical races.

Most ordinary people, however, would never have the chance to touch these mysterious domains in their lifetime.

The two conversed a bit more before Zou Limu got up to take his leave.

Lin Lang saw him to the door, watching as Zou Limu’s figure disappeared at the end of the corridor before slowly closing the door.

Returning to the living room, Lin Lang found Xina and Zhi Xi getting along splendidly!

The two were chatting lively, with Xina listening curiously as Zhi Xi described the wonders of the Underwater World, sometimes exclaiming in awe, sometimes erupting in cheerful laughter.

Lin Lang had originally planned to call Xina to bed.

However, seeing how much they were enjoying their conversation, he decided not to disturb them—

Such a warm and harmonious scene was especially precious in this crisis-laden post-apocalyptic world.

So he tiptoed towards the guest room, ready to rest well for the night.

...

In the morning, sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, spilling over the base of the Special Agent Bureau.

Lin Lang, as usual, wandered aimlessly inside the base.

However, he clearly felt that the gazes from the people around bore a hint of peculiarity!

After all, the previous uproar caused by Master Yunyang had made him quite famous in the base.

Moreover, those small groups, including Wang Dahai, were secretly embellishing and slandering, making Lin Lang’s image in the minds of many at the base fall to troubling lows.

But!

With Lin Lang’s current mindset and Realm, these baseless gazes and unfounded rumors naturally didn’t bother him.

He continued walking with a calm demeanor, as if those peculiar looks didn’t exist at all.

Over the past days, by strolling leisurely around the base, Lin Lang had gained a relatively clear understanding of the situation at the Special Agent Bureau.

He remembered during the confrontation with Master Yunyang, those who silently released powerful auras to thwart him were the pinnacle of Combat Power at the Bureau.

Their strength was unfathomable, serving as the backbone of the Bureau in guarding the country and fending off crises.

The majority of the other agents in the Bureau had Combat Power generally around B-Class.

Though their individual strength wasn’t top-notch, their numbers compensated for it, making them an essential force in maintaining the Bureau’s regular operations and carrying out various missions.

Additionally, the Special Agent Bureau has dedicated departments for Elixir and Doomsday Weapon research, respectively.

However, the progress of these studies isn’t very promising.

Compared to Xingfu District, they seem somewhat lacking.

But speaking of Alchemy!

Xingfu District’s current level in this regard might be considered world-class!

That old man named Luo Hong’an is probably a genius in the Alchemy Dao!

Though he hasn’t been practicing Alchemy for long, now his Alchemy Technology is quite advanced!

With his unique techniques and rich experience, the Elixirs he crafts are of superior quality, with remarkable effects!

This has played a crucial role in the development of the district.

And in the Domain of Artifact Refining!

Martial God Village in Qingfeng City is unrivaled and unchallenged.

The artifact refiners at Martial God Village possess exquisite skills, crafting weapons and equipment that are not only sturdy and durable but often imbued with magical powers, coveted by Martial Artists.

Fortunately, these two strongest forces in the Alchemy Dao and Artifact Dao both belong to Lin Lang.

...

Lin Lang took a walk outside the base and gradually felt a bit bored, so he turned back to his residence.

It was daytime, Xina was at work, and the house seemed especially quiet.

Lin Lang walked into the room and immediately saw Zhi Xi leisurely soaking in the bathtub, with a hand feeding herself chips and the other hand holding a phone, watching intently.

Seeing this, Lin Lang couldn’t help but show a surprised look and asked with a smile:

"So you’ve learned to use a smartphone already?"

Zhi Xi, hearing the voice, turned and gave Lin Lang a look, responding with mock annoyance:
