The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 142 Searching

"This is the entire Cloud City, a holographic image of all the safe zones and even a large part of the slums."

As Ye Qingwan spoke, she gestured for Lin Xiyue and Mo Luosi to come forward.

Lin Xiyue and Molos exchanged a glance and walked up together.

"Wow! ヾ(?°?°?)??"

Lin Xiyue reached out and placed her hand on the holographic image.

Then, Lin Xiyue was surprised to find that she could actually feel a slight obstruction on this holographic image, and when she waved her finger, she found that the area she was pressing could be magnified.

She always thought that a hologram was just a three-dimensional projection.

"Let me experience it."

Moros, who was next to Lin Xiyue, looked at the projection and then put his hand on it as well.

However, Lin Xiyue was just joking around, while Molos closed his eyes, as if he was sensing something.

“Abnormal energy has been detected here, here, and in these other places.”

A few minutes later, Meros opened his eyes.

He then reached out and quickly circled about seven or eight points on the holographic image of the entire town, saying that these were places with abnormal energy.

"Okay, okay, is there anything else I need to be aware of?"

Ye Qingwan quickly noted down these points on her terminal and then asked if there were any further questions.

"Well, while the shuttle can be transformed into something smaller for easier storage, it still requires a significant amount of electricity every day, unless they power it themselves every day. Moreover, even when it becomes smaller, it still needs at least a hundred square meters of space for storage."

After thinking for a moment, Meros shared a little-known fact about shuttles that humans didn't know.

"Is it possible that the shuttle was placed in a space created by your alien race?"

Ye Qingwan proposed an idea; she raised these questions to more easily determine which locations could be ruled out.

"Yes, but it's very difficult."

Moros thought about Ye Qingwan's question seriously, and then continued: "First of all, the alien race that can open up a relatively large space entrance is at least the most advanced among the advanced alien races; secondly, the shuttle is actually a kind of semi-biological and semi-mechanical thing, so it needs a lot of energy every day. Therefore, the alien race that puts it into the space has to draw its own energy every day to maintain its survival."

"This would increase the consumption, so it's actually better to leave it outside."

"Okay, okay. I've noted it all down. So, a place that's over a hundred square meters in size and has been unusually over-exploited is most likely their hiding place."

Ye Qingwan gave a rough summary and then prepared to make arrangements for the newly arrived team members.

"Or rather, places where the abnormality of a dead body is not easily discovered may also be such places."

Meros added a sentence.

"Okay, thank you for your help. As a small token of our appreciation, how about we give you a house in Yuncheng?"

Ye Qingwan was very polite, but she immediately responded by giving a gift.

After all, social norms and interpersonal relationships are universal; it's impossible to say that they don't exist among different ethnic groups. If they didn't, there would be no dissenting voices in society.

"Hmm... does the baby have any requests?"

Meros pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Xiyue, who was having a great time playing with the holographic projection beside him.

She had no idea what she could do, so she could only find some amusement for herself.

"Huh?! Me? Me? ∑(′△｀)?!"

Lin Xiyue was stunned when she was called, and then she realized that she was being called.

"I actually want a street-front shop, preferably with living quarters upstairs. I want to open a small shop, just open it every day, and when no one's around, I can pet my cats. (≧w≦)/"

As Lin Xiyue spoke, a sense of nostalgia appeared in her eyes; she recalled the time before she transmigrated.

Yes, it would be even more heartwarming if that cat wasn't Meroth in disguise.

Ah, wait a minute, does that mean I was completely unguarded against Meros back then?!

(((;???;)))

Lin Xiyue then realized what was happening, and then, blushing, she squatted down, pretending to be seriously studying the holographic projection.

"What are you thinking about, baby? Your face is so red, hmm?"

Melos crouched down beside Lin Xiyue and whispered in her ear. The soft "hmm" sent a shiver down her spine, like an electric shock running from her tailbone to the top of her head.

"No, it's nothing. Cough cough cough, you, you guys don't need to discuss this anymore?"

Lin Xiyue nudged Moros, who was already pressed against her, trying to change the subject.

"No need, I've said everything I needed to say. Let them decide for themselves. Now, let's talk about what the baby just thought of."

Moros simply swept Lin Xiyue up in his arms, as if he were carrying a large mushroom.

"Ah! You! Put me down!!!"

Lin Xiyue felt extremely ashamed; it felt so strange to be held like this.

"Alright, alright. Now tell me, what were you thinking just now?"

Moros carried Lin Xiyue to the sofa in the corner and sat down himself.

"I……"

Lin Xiyue looked around and, seeing that everyone else was indeed focused on their work and no one was watching what they were doing, she breathed a small sigh of relief.

She playfully slapped Meros's arm before whispering.

"I'm thinking about the time you took advantage of me when you were a cat."

Lin Xiyue felt that Moros's hand had firmly bound her, and she had no choice but to speak out.

However, considering that this was a psionic center, she was careful not to reveal any major issues.

"Oh~ that's right."

Moros had a look of having learned something, which made Lin Xiyue angrily punch him a few more times.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Are you hungry? There's food here, why don't you eat something?"

Moros picked up a dessert from the coffee table in front of the sofa, tore open the packaging, and handed it to Lin Xiyue.

"Hmm, (chewing) Oh right, where's your nephew? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

After swallowing the snack that Moros had given her, Lin Xiyue suddenly remembered Lanster, who was a foodie just like her.

"Him? Never mind him, he'll come back on his own."

Meros clearly didn't want to mention anyone else, not even his nephew.

"You, I, I'm still his aunt, so I just... I'm just showing him some concern..."

Lin Xiyue spoke softer and softer until her voice was barely audible.

"Oh? Now you admit you're my aunt? Well then, when will you agree to marry me, darling? I haven't even had my way with you yet."

Melos whispered meaningfully in Lin Xiyue's ear.

?! !! !! !!
