After cross-checking the list given to them by Cheng Ma and Bai Guangnan regarding the villa base, Wei Xuan instructed them, “Don’t mention that I helped you find these things. Just say you acquired them on your own. If you manage to get some items in return, please try to get more energy converters for me.”
He paused for a moment and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, “Did you mention the snowflake to them?”
To Wei Xuan’s surprise, the two lunatics shook their heads in unison and said, “We didn’t mention it.”
Wei Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at them with some confusion.
Cheng Ma frowned and said, “They have a lot of crystals.”
Bai Guangnan chimed in, “How many snowflakes do you need for that thing? Maybe it’s more durable to use larger crystals instead of wasting them on snowflakes!”
Wei Xuan observed the two individuals in front of him, unable to determine whether they genuinely forgot to mention it or if their nature was actually deceptive. However, based on their consistent behavior during their interaction, he leaned toward the former possibility.
Since they hadn’t mentioned it to the others, Wei Xuan decided not to bring it up either. Even if they were aware, it wouldn’t have a significant impact. They had a large base, and even if the mutated creatures blocked their entrance, they would still receive a considerable amount of strange snow.
However, since Wei Xuan had no contact with them and didn’t know the specifics of their base or the people there, he saw no need to inform them proactively.
After skipping this matter, Wei Xuan bid farewell to the two and gave them a few more instructions. He made sure they knew that if he found the corresponding items, he would place them in the designated room. Then, he allowed himself to be carried by Du Hang and climbed to the top floor to enjoy the view before leaping off the building and returning home.
Of course, Du Hang, no matter how physically powerful, couldn’t actually jump straight down from over sixty floors. He merely descended one floor at a time with a few leaps, similar to when they ascended.

As he thought about the trouble the mutated creatures could bring, Wei Xuan also remembered the incident with his zombie subordinates helping Du Hang fight the giant rat. The memory of that event made him feel tired. He didn’t want to experience a similar “surprise” again when he returned home.
Wei Xuan couldn’t help but worry, “I hope those little subordinates won’t give me another surprise when I return home this time.”
Thinking of that cat mountain and the charred cat corpses still lying on the scorched ground, Wei Xuan felt mentally exhausted. He really didn’t want to get such a “gift” again.
Obviously, Du Hang still couldn’t understand anything, he couldn’t comprehend a single word. He held Wei Xuan in his arms and laid him on the bed in a bedroom of a house near the street. As usual, he leaned in for their customary goodnight kiss.
Although Wei Xuan had half of his attention focused on his zombie subordinates, he would never ignore Du Hang. He raised his hand and embraced Du Hang’s neck, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in the familiar embrace and familiar kisses.
When darkness once again enveloped the world, Du Hang carried Wei Xuan back to the neighborhood by leaping through the air.
With Wei Xuan in Du Hang’s arms, he cautiously surveyed the surroundings, taking advantage of the dim moonlight to carefully assess the situation.
Everywhere was pitch black, but at first glance, there didn’t seem to be anything unusual. At least, Wei Xuan didn’t see any awe-inspiring dark shadows like the previous time.
Feeling slightly relieved, Wei Xuan let Du Hang bring him back home. He changed his clothes and, despite the “sleepy” signals emanating from Du Hang’s mind, led him to the table and played a puzzle game together.
The room was filled with puzzles that they had collected during their recent outings. The ones they found last year were already neatly assembled and stored in a separate room, piled up one by one. If there were only a few, they could frame and hang them, but with so many, even if Wei Xuan could conquer the entire city, he didn’t have the intention of using Du Hang’s “masterpieces” to decorate the entire city.
While they could disassemble them and put them away to let Du Hang play with them again, it was uncertain whether repeatedly solving the same puzzles would have any cognitive benefits. So, it was better to play with all the new ones first and then start afresh by playing with the old sets again.
Perhaps Wei Xuan was feeling a bit unsettled tonight, as he felt it was careless to go to sleep without checking the surroundings during the daytime. Moreover, he couldn’t sleep even if he tried, his biological clock was completely reversed, making him unable to feel drowsy.
And wasting time was shameful, so he might as well work on intellectual pursuits with Du Hang and deepen their bond in the process.
Although Du Hang didn’t get what he initially wanted, which was to sleep together with Wei Xuan, at least Wei Xuan was sitting beside him patiently, engaging in the chaotic mess of paper scraps on the table. It didn’t completely satisfy Du Hang, but at least he didn’t feel neglected. So he obediently sat next to Wei Xuan, participating in the puzzle-solving activities together.
Thus, throughout the night, Wei Xuan couldn’t sit still. Every now and then, he would get up and wander near the window, only returning to the room when daylight broke and he had confirmed that there were no abnormalities in the neighborhood.
“Thank goodness nothing happened. Let’s go eat!” Relieved that there were no unusual creatures nearby, Wei Xuan let out a sigh of relief and then pulled Du Hang along confidently as they returned to the room. They opened their backpacks and took out the food they had packed for consumption.
As Wei Xuan opened the bag and saw the two items inside Du Hang’s backpack, his expression instantly turned awkward, a desk lamp and… an energy converter.
Yesterday, he was too preoccupied with the situation in the neighborhood that he completely forgot about these items, which he actually valued quite highly.
While preparing the meal, Wei Xuan took out the desk lamp and the crystal energy converter from the backpack and placed them on the table. He experimented and realized that the lamp didn’t light up because there was no crystal inserted in the converter. Of course, it couldn’t work without the crystal. However, at the moment, he didn’t have any crystals available.
Obtaining crystals wouldn’t be difficult for Wei Xuan if he wanted them. Regular zombies wouldn’t pose a threat to him, and as long as he was swift and accurate, it would be almost guaranteed, except for special zombies like Du Hang. However, he didn’t want to resort to that method.
The longer Wei Xuan lived with the zombies, the more he realized that the difference between himself and these zombies wasn’t as significant as he previously thought.
Especially in this world, Wei Xuan didn’t need to go out on missions with the survivors from the base like he did in his previous life, nor did he need to use crystals as a form of currency. He had no need to actively hunt zombies and collect crystals from their brains.
At this moment, Wei Xuan didn’t even consider casually capturing a zombie and performing a cranial operation. He walked to a corner of the room, opened a cabinet, and took out a bag filled with snowflakes. He randomly grabbed a handful and placed them in the small container. He closed the lid, connected it, and then…
“The lamp turned on.” With a smile on his face, Wei Xuan watched as the soft light emitted from the desk lamp.
The desk lamp itself wasn’t particularly useful for Wei Xuan, but the energy converter itself had more significance to him. Currently, it was integrated with the desk lamp, with the circuit directly connected. While it posed no significant problem, a slight modification would allow him to connect it to other devices, such as circuit boards.
The only concern was whether the wires could withstand the pressure and if the voltage would remain stable. Wei Xuan understood that this set of equipment he had was still at the most basic level.
Apart from potential energy wastage during conversion, the stability of the device was a significant concern. With the availability of solar panels, he temporarily used it as a power supply for the desk lamp. This way, he could also calculate how long it would take to consume the small box of snowflakes.
Wei Xuan didn’t feel an immediate rush to help those two lunatics find the items they needed. Within a month, he would find the required quantity for them.
Firstly, they could only transport items by shoulder and hand, so they couldn’t bring much at once. Secondly, searching at a slower pace would allow them more time to improve their research on this equipment. Perhaps by then, there would be improved products to exchange.
Thinking about this, Wei Xuan turned off the desk lamp and took out the ready meal from the microwave. He confidently sat next to Du Hang and started eating.
No rush, take it slowly. Today, his mindset wasn’t quite right, so it was better to calm down and deal with other issues later.
