When Lao Hu and the others woke up, it was already more than ten hours later. After resting, they felt a little better.

Although he is still somewhat listless, at least he doesn't look like he was about to receive a critical condition notice yesterday.

The group, who were starving, ate and drank their fill before leisurely packing up their tents.

"I've finally recovered a little. Yesterday, Fatty even saw Grandma waving at me. If I weren't reluctant to leave you, Old Hu, I would have gone with her."

On the way back, Fatty Wang started talking non-stop again. Old Hu didn't want to talk, but when he heard this guy being disgusting, he immediately gave a disdainful sneer.

"Heh...it must be because they can't bear to part with those people who were helped by your 'top' efforts!"

"Hey! Lao Hu, it hurts me to hear you say that. How can our friendship of over ten years compare to theirs?"

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The group chatted and laughed all the way up, and it only took them a little over half an hour to get there.

This was of course thanks to Ji Haobo's help, whether it was crossing the underground river or climbing the rock wall;

He carried one on his back, one on his chest, and one in each hand, and walked on air.

Otherwise, given the current state of Lao Hu and the others, they definitely wouldn't be able to get up there.

"Awoo...woowoo..."

When Xiao Hei saw Ji Haobo appear, he immediately went up to greet him warmly, rubbing his head against him repeatedly. He was naturally adept at social etiquette, which made him much more likable than that dull-witted Biaozi.

"Good, good, little black, you have a bright future, your master has high hopes for you!"

Ji Haobo smiled and put his arm around its head, glancing at the dumbfounded guy next to him.

"Unlike Grandpa Biaozi, who doesn't even greet his owner and just waits for others to serve him!"

Upon hearing his name called, Biaozi turned his large head in confusion, a bewildered look appearing on his fierce face.

Ji Haobo looked utterly helpless at that silly expression, and Lao Hu and the others next to him almost burst out laughing.

"Haobo, don't be fickle. Biaozi is also very good. It dragged me and Laura the whole way and was very well-behaved!"

Seeing that the guy was a bit clueless, Yang Xueli could only stand by and say nice things for him.

"Yes! Yes! He's an honest and straightforward guy, he doesn't know how to flatter, he just works diligently and quietly."

Laura's nod of agreement left Ji Haobo speechless. He never expected that she, a foreigner, would utter such praise.

"Biaozi, did you hear that? Since they praised you for being honest and hardworking, I'll give you an awesome name."

Biaozi tilted its head in bewilderment, wondering how it had suddenly been dragged into this.

Ji Haobo placed his hand on Biaozi's head with a serious expression, but a smile appeared on his lips.

"Today, your master bestows upon you the name Audebiao. May you remember: if Heaven had not given birth to you, Audebiao, the world would have been plunged into eternal darkness."

Afterwards, a few people quietly asked Ji Haobo what the meaning of "Aodebiao" was, and the answer he received was "a banana tree."

Inside the Kyoto manor, Big Gold Tooth rushed over as soon as he received news of their return.

This guy didn't see Ji Haobo, but he noticed Bai Maomao playing with a large black wolf he'd never seen before, so he didn't dare go near it.

He turned and walked toward Lao Hu and his companion who were sunbathing, and was immediately taken aback when he saw what they looked like.

"Holy crap, what's wrong with you guys? You look so weak, like you've been drained dry by a female ghost."

"Can't you talk properly? With Fatty's physique, how could that female ghost withstand it?"

To gain his trust, Fatty Wang immediately began to tell a story in a torrent of words, interspersed with his own personal opinions, leaving Big Gold Tooth completely bewildered.

It wasn't until evening, after Ji Haobo finished dealing with the wolf carcasses and the giant salamanders at the base, that he returned and was pulled away by Big Gold Tooth, who had been waiting all afternoon.

"Old Ji, quickly take out your treasure and let me see it."

"Damn it, I don't let anyone see my treasure except my wife."

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

That night, while all the women were present, Ji Haobo released the TX robot.

Before he could speak, he felt a series of unfriendly gazes falling on him.

"What kind of looks are those? You've really gone against the natural order! Nobody's allowed to run away later, or the master will punish them according to family rules!"

"This...this isn't human? What is she? I can't hear a heartbeat, only some faint, strange sounds."

Yi Nanfeng and Sheng Shengman exchanged a glance, then widened their eyes to scrutinize the cold-faced Western woman.

The people nearby were taken aback when they heard this, and then looked at him in surprise.

"Her name is TX. She is a kind of bionic robot. From now on, Yingzi, you can have her accompany you when you go out."

She can also help verify and check the company's future accounts; with Tencent's computing power, which is a century ahead of the world, it can be done instantly.

Ji Haobo then introduced its various features to everyone, which left them feeling quite bewildered.

TX, in particular, gave a live demonstration of all the performance features, leaving the women speechless.

"Brother Bo, how about we give her a name? Just calling her TX is not only awkward to pronounce, but it also sounds strange."

Yingzi muttered to herself a few times, feeling a little uncomfortable using letter codes.

"Hmm... let's call him Gabriel, which represents a guardian angel and has the function of acting as a watchdog."

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it will soon be early March, just in time to set off for the Jingjue Ancient City.

Old Hu and his companions recovered during this time, and the two of them moved out to live with Da Jinya in their newly purchased courtyard house.

Saying they didn't want to disturb Ji Haobo and the others was really just to make it easier for them to go out and have fun, since Xishan is in the suburbs and quite a distance from the bustling city center.

Ji Haobo knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't point it out. It was normal for a few bachelors to have some fun.

After a quick packing, the group arrived in a remote town on the border of the Taklamakan Desert by transport plane.

"Brother Bo, why don't we just take a plane to the desert?"

The group walked along the dusty street, with Fatty Wang covering his nose in disgust.

"Didn't you see it's all sand and dust outside? Who knows what it's like inside the desert!"

Besides, the Taklamakan Desert is so vast, it would be a miracle if you could find the ancient city of Jingjue by just searching aimlessly.”

Ji Haobo didn't expect that they would encounter a sandstorm so soon after arriving in the desert, and he led the group to find a hotel to stay in.

"It's impossible to go into the desert in the next couple of days. Let's find a guide first, and then we can go in when the sandstorm stops."

Old Hu shook off the dust from his clothes and shook his head, saying:

"Uh... Mr. Bo, it's probably not easy to find a guide who dares to go in during this windy season!"

"That's for sure, but if the money is high enough, someone will naturally be willing to take the risk."

As Ji Haobo spoke, he turned to look at the hotel owner.

"Adasi, we want to go into the desert, do you have any good guide recommendations?"

"Oh...? It's the windy season now, are you going into the desert?"

The hotel owner looked at the group with surprise, worried that they were unaware of the dangers of venturing into the desert at this time of year, and quickly advised them:

"Oh...friends, you outsiders might not know, when a sandstorm comes, it blots out the sun! People and camels can be buried, it's dangerous!"
