Upon returning to the Pyramid once again, Tang Xian's phone buzzed non-stop.
He saw that in just a few days, there had been fourteen missed calls and thirty-four new ssages, most of which were from WeChat.
Looking closer, Tang Xian saw that they were sent by Ke Ye.
Yu Xiaozhe had sent so ssages as well, but both of their ssages were rely casual greetings.
However, it was Shang Lu who told Tang Xian about a new discovery.
It was about the Red Line Grass; it turns out what repels animals is not the scent itself, but an elent in the scent called Insect Ammonia. He had managed to purify this elent.
He had created a kind of fragrance, more concentrated, that would be masked within the scent, suitable for anyone to use. In the future, all humanity could be free from the annoyance of weaker creatures, and for the insect species in mining areas, it could provide very good protection.
In this way, Shang Lu had made a contribution to all of humanity, especially to the groups with lower combat capabilities.
Tang Xian replied to Shang Lu with a smiley face and a thumbs-up emoji.
He also sent a sweating emoji in response to Yu Xiaozhe and Ke Ye.
He felt it was necessary to tell them that if they wanted to catch up, they should co visit him in the Tree Sea, and to send ssages that were more useful.
After shutting off the ssaging app, Tang Xian began planning his next moves.
He had sent Dong Ran and Tang Xiaojiu away. Dong Ran then took Tang Xiaojiu to play in the marketplace on the second level of the Pyramid.
The intention was to cultivate so hobbies in the child beyond eating, sothing suitable for girls, like shopping, starting from a young age.
Tang Xian didn't mind.
He dressed in a way that never hid his lower-class status, anyway, being convincing with one's words was a skill in itself.
At the mont, his attention was all on Akasi.
There was plenty of information available, and not just one analysis of current needs. Among the things that both Akasi and Tang Suoye loathed, one place was ntioned.
The Evolution Zone.
This place did not exist in the mining area, of that Tang Xian was certain.
Therefore, it could only likely be an institution at the higher levels of a Pyramid.
In the Hua District, there are fifty-six Pyramids. Unlike the pyramids of other national districts, the political goals of the lords of Huaxia's pyramids may vary, but the overall situation is unified, and it is the strongest and most intact nation after the Great Calamity.
The Li family is the most special among them; apart from their supre status in Fortress No. 39, they also hold an absolute position second only to the first family of other fortresses.
As for the Evolution Zone, Tang Xian had no information whatsoever.
He speculated simply that this place might also belong to the organization that Akasi and Tang Suoye served.
With that in mind, he decided to contact Li Xiaoyu; in terms of understanding the power structure, he was not as well-inford as Li Xiaoyu.
It was only at this mont that he rembered sothing, Li Xiaoyu could find him, but he had no way to find Li Xiaoyu.
And Dong Ran had just happened to go to the second level.
Having no choice, Tang Xian had to step out for a trip.
Decay Street had recently undergone a reshuffling of power, but the street itself was still bustling. Tang Xian walked for a while until he finally felt that sensation of being watched, for the first ti realizing that the dimwitted moles sent by others had uses beyond surveilling him.
Tang Xian then headed straight for soone who was sitting in a tea shop drinking tea. The man was so taken aback to see Tang Xian approaching him that he didn't react imdiately.
After all, Tang Xian usually ignored them, so he was a bit stunned for a mont.
Without any fuss, Tang Xian said,
"Hello, sorry to disturb you, but please tell your Second Miss that I need to see her."
This man, disguised as a tea shop patron for over six years, knew that Tang Xian had probably been aware of his identity for a long ti, but this was the first ti he had been approached so openly.
"This… I need to report this to my superiors first."
"That's fine; thank you."
Tang Xian ordered a cup of tea and just sat next to the man. A friendly smile on his face, he stared intently at the spy.
The tea shop spy was panicking.
After all, he was a spy, soone watching over Tang Xian, so why did it feel like he was the one being watched?
The voice on the phone seed to be experiencing a similar situation.
It probably had to do with reporting to a superior.
Tang Xian continued waiting, even amiably helping to order another cup of tea for the man.
He asked the spy how he felt being watched and whether he had encountered any difficulties during his work, or if he needed any help.
The spy had never t anyone like this. What was he supposed to say? Would you mind going out more often? It would make it easier for us to watch you?
No matter how you heard it, it just sounded wrong.

After a long ti, having passed through countless layers of superiors, Tang Xian finally received a response.
"Hold on a second."
This was the final response.
Tang Xian continued to hold on a second, the scout sowhat perplexed. What did 'hold on a second' an?
Half an hour later, Li Xiaoyu arrived.
The scout's eyes widened, his lips quivered slightly, and a chill ran down his spine as the second Miss saw him exposed—and saw him having tea with the target.
He hurriedly stood up.
Tang Xian was sowhat puzzled. Since when was standing and drinking tea a cultural thing?
"Sit down," Tang Xian said.
The scout dared not sit.
"If I tell you to sit, you sit," Li Xiaoyu ordered.
So he sat down.
This was probably the pinnacle of one's life. Being able to have tea with the second Miss of the Li family. How many people's superiors' superiors' superiors could not ask for this?
But now that it had actually happened, it was as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.
"You ca back in less than seven days," Li Xiaoyu thought that Tang Xian had brought back good news.
"I wanted to ask you about so things."
"Go ahead, do you need help? I have already selected the personnel on my side."
"Oh, that's not necessary. Your matter is not very urgent; I'll do sothing else first."
Li Xiaoyu's expression stiffened.
My matter is not very urgent?
She put on a smile, her gaze haunting.
Tang Xian pretended not to see and said:
"Two matters I would like your help with. One is to inquire about so news. The other is to help arrange for soone to transfer fortresses."
Li Xiaoyu said coldly, "I want to hear the latter first."
Tang Xian nodded. The order didn't matter, so he started with:
"I've recruited a team mber and hope you can help her transfer to Fortress No. 39. She's a dical professional, her capabilities are decent, not the very best, but she has potential. This matter does relate sowhat to what you've asked of ."
"A dical professional? Tang Busi?"
"Good mory."
"What's her na?"
"Qiao Shanshan."
Li Xiaoyu's face twitched slightly, her smile becoming more rigid.
"Isn't Dong Ran pretty enough?"
Now it was Tang Xian's turn to be stunned. He contemplated the logic behind that comnt for a few seconds before shaking his head and saying:
"We're only talking about business here."
"This is business," Li Xiaoyu didn't back down.
As the future number two of the Li family, she actually knew every person's information on the hunter ranking list. Qiao Shanshan was an attractive woman with a mature aura of a professional, the type many n liked to conquer.
"Then nevermind, I'll have her demote herself two levels and apply for the transfer. Now, the second matter."
Transferring fortresses required demotion, like soone from the third level being demoted to the first level. Tang Xian had thought about taking the backdoor approach but overlooked the fact that the focus of Li Xiaoyu's concern was severely inconsistent with his own, so the matter couldn't be discussed any further.
Li Xiaoyu, with an itch of annoyance she couldn't scratch, ntally noted Qiao Shanshan's na. She thought that since Tang Xian had made a request, she would still have to help, but first, she had to probe into Qiao Shanshan.
I already sent you one, and you still go looking for another outside? The bowl I give you is bigger than others' pots, yet you still gaze longingly at what's in others' pots?
However, she appeared quite calm at the mont, saying coldly:
"Go on, what's the second matter?"
"Have you heard of the evolution zone?"
Li Xiaoyu's expression changed and she said:
"Where did you hear about this place?"
