I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Xie Fengnan was not disappointed upon receiving the reply.

It's not that he always tries to pull this trick on others.

However, ordinary materials simply cannot withstand the scorching heat of Chu Jiaoyang's fire.

Creations with superpowers are more durable, and wouldn't that be a good opportunity to hone those abilities?

Although they can't absorb energy right now, they really shouldn't waste it on this.

But it's not to the point where we can't even afford to waste the amount needed to start a fire. Besides, I can still work on the law of conservation of energy.

Why not just transfer your energy to him?

Remembering the joke about transferring electricity to you via Bluetooth, Xie Fengnan coughed to bring his thoughts back.

"Since you can't do it, then we can only..."

Xie Fengnan rummaged through his spatial storage for a long time, until Jiang Moran, who had originally planned to wait until he finished before speaking, couldn't help but interrupt.

"I cannot do without it."

Then he painstakingly used chess pieces to create a simple stove shape.

There was no way around it; none of the creatures he defeated had a stove.

Once materialized, the chess piece becomes indistinguishable from that creature, and can only be resisted by its original form.

"Wow!" Xie Fengnan and Chu Jiaoyang exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Mo Ran: ...I feel like I've really lost my mind.

He convinced himself that, judging from Xie Fengnan's attitude, he definitely wouldn't move without getting this meal, and he was just thinking of helping out to get things over with as soon as possible.

Xie Fengnan: I've finally witnessed the Starry Sky Game.

When he served the eight-generation fish, fried pork ribs, tofu stuffed with yam, stir-fried water chestnut rice, and Longjing bamboo fungus, it was a different story.

Jiang Mo Ran had no objections.

As the eldest son of the Jiang family, he certainly couldn't have never eaten well.

But when Xie Fengnan is willing to spend money, it is absolutely the best of the best.

With its appealing color, aroma, and taste, no one can resist it.

Jiang Moran didn't touch the tables and chairs anymore, Xie Fengnan was worried that if he really got angry he would punch him a couple of times.

Despite his gentlemanly demeanor, Jiang Mo Ran lost his temper as soon as he heard that he was being told he was no good.

However, Xie Fengnan still thought back and realized that the chess table in the courtyard on the island in the middle of the lake would be quite suitable for cooking rice.

But Chu Jiaoyang and Jiang Moran couldn't get in, and Chen Wanjun couldn't get out, so they couldn't get a table together.

After a satisfying meal, the three of them lazily leaned to the left for a while.

Xie Fengnan had wanted to take a nap.

He glanced at Jiang Moran and then dismissed the idea.

"Shall we go?" Chu Jiaoyang quickly got up.

The glass deer escorted them out of the valley. Xie Fengnan stroked its fur and said goodbye, "We're leaving now. Take care of yourselves."

Unlike her attitude towards Chu Jiaoyang, Cai Lu showed obvious affection for Xie Fengnan.

She kept rubbing her head against his face and letting him pet her, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Xie Fengnan hung a small cloth bag around its neck, waved his hand, and left with the remaining two people.

"Boss, we can't even stretch our mental energy, where are we supposed to find someone?" Chu Jiaoyang felt extremely uncomfortable.

In the previous sixteen years, I wouldn't say I was used to being wild every day, but I've never been this restrained.

I've always subconsciously used my mental energy to explore, but now it's suppressed so much that I can't even go two miles.

What's the difference between this and being blind?

"There's no other way, let's find a high vantage point to see what's going on around here."

Xie Fengnan looked around. There wasn't even a river here, let alone any obvious changes in vegetation or signs of human activity.

"That tree should work," Jiang Mozhan said, pointing in a direction.

Xie Fengnan also saw it; mainly because that tree really stood out like a crane among chickens.

It was not only much thicker than the trees around it, but also much taller.

"Let's go over there." The three of them hurried towards the direction of the tree.

Just as we were about to arrive, we heard people talking.

Xie Fengnan and Jiang Moran stopped what they were doing in unison.

It seems my guess was correct, Xie Fengnan thought to himself.

But he soon discovered a new problem.

What were they saying? I couldn't understand them.

Looking again, Jiang Mo Ran also seemed bewildered. Oh dear.

Needless to say, everyone will become deaf and mute.

Because he couldn't understand it, Chu Jiaoyang didn't treat the person on the other end as a person at all, and didn't even realize that he was supposed to be eavesdropping.

"Boss, why aren't we leaving?"

As soon as he spoke, the conversation on the other end immediately fell silent.

Jiang Mo Ran glanced at Xie Feng Nan silently, as if to say: It's amazing that you managed to raise him to this age.

Xie Fengnan avoided that look; Xiao Chu was just simple-minded.

Having been discovered, they obviously couldn't continue hiding.

Pushing aside the bushes, the three of them walked out confidently.

As they revealed themselves, their conversation partner also appeared before them—

They were two men dressed in a mixture of coarse hemp and animal skin, which only covered their private parts.

Their skin was bronze, with a luster that came from being weathered by wind and sun.

His exposed arms and muscles showcased his impressive strength.

Xie Fengnan's first thought upon seeing them was, "What kind of ancient, savage image is this? Have they really retreated to the primitive society?"

When the two men saw the three appear, they were initially surprised, but then they tensed up alertly.

Seeing that Xie Fengnan and the others did not intend to take any further action, one of them took a few steps forward, muttering something under his breath.

Xie Fengnan couldn't understand, but that didn't stop him from guessing that the other party was questioning their origins.

“We were just passing by,” Xie Fengnan said, gesturing as he spoke.

The people on the other end were completely bewildered; they seemed to realize that they couldn't communicate in the same language.

"They seem to be having an even harder time than we did before," Chu Jiaoyang commented.

During the years they were experimental subjects, they never fell into a state of being destitute.

Jiang Mo Ran didn't offer any opinion; he was fiddling with the terminal in his hand, trying to see if he could translate it.

After gesturing for a while, the "wild man" who stepped forward first gestured for them to follow him.

For Xie Fengnan and his two companions, this was like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to them effortlessly.

"Yan Jian, why are you taking them back? When did you become so kind?"

Xie Fengnan's terminal suddenly emitted an electronic voice, which drew Jiang Mozhan's attention.

"Boss, you're just going to play it out in front of them like that?"

Chu Jiaoyang saw that Xie Fengnan had just activated the simultaneous interpretation function.

"They can't understand it anyway."

They weren't wearing any headsets or similar equipment, and he didn't want to keep staring at the terminal and act as a human translator, so he simply turned on the speakerphone to save time.

Learning a new language is not difficult for Xie Fengnan and Jiang Moran, but it does require a certain amount of time and templates.

Let's just make do for now.

Jiang Mo Ran then looked at Xie Feng Nan thoughtfully again.

Even if the Jiang family isn't as illustrious as the Xie family, and the terminals they use might differ in performance, isn't this difference a bit too great?
