The next morning, Feng Qi woke up to find Wei Wei leaning over the bed, smiling as she gazed at him.
"What are you doing?" he asked immediately.
"Nothing," she replied.
Feng Qi: ...
He sighed inwardly at Wei Wei's teasing expression.
Just then, she bent over, stretched languidly, and stood up. Her thin sleepwear did little to conceal her delicate, shapely figure. Then, smiling at Feng Qi, she said, "Get up and eat breakfast first. We'll record the rest of the content today."
Feng Qi nodded and threw off the covers.
He was still wearing his clothes, so there was no need to worry about "exposure."
After washing up, during which Wei Wei went to the adjoining room to change, they left their room and entered the Scarlet Base's dining hall.
After taking a moderate amount of breakfast, Feng Qi and Wei Wei sat facing each other and began to eat.
Without his innate ability and energy progress bar, he was full after only a few bites.
Wei Wei, however, was still devouring her food with gusto, eating without any regard for her image, as if engaged in a fierce battle with her meal.
At that moment, his phone rang.
He pulled out his phone and saw that it was Bai Fusheng calling.
Anxious concern filled Bai Fusheng's voice as he spoke:
"Feng Qi, where are you now? The gatekeeper reported that you've been gone for a day and a night. Did you run into any trouble?"
Touched by Bai Fusheng's concern, Feng Qi immediately replied:
"Grandmaster, I'm fine. I was invited to tour the Scarlet Research Institute. I'm perfectly safe here."
Hearing this, Bai Fusheng responded without hesitation:
"Alright, I understand. You focus on your work."
After hanging up, Wei Wei finished her meal and put down her chopsticks, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
Seeing this expression, Feng Qi became even more certain of something.
Mu Qing's complete lack of table manners was entirely learned from Wei Wei, even down to the post-meal satisfaction.
Next, Feng Qi followed Wei Wei to the data entry room to continue recording detailed information about the Brain in a Vat.
Wei Wei's demeanor changed completely during work, becoming exceptionally serious. She repeatedly cross-checked the data, ensuring there were no errors.
After spending most of the day, the detailed information on the Brain in a Vat was finally fully recorded.
"Ready to leave?" Wei Wei asked, smiling at him.
"I'll be back," Feng Qi replied with a grin.
"Get a gene needle shot before you go. Many researchers at the base don't have time to cultivate. They rely entirely on gene needles to sustain their high-intensity work. This shot will significantly boost your physical fitness, which will in turn improve your learning efficiency."
Feng Qi nodded immediately.
Next, he followed Wei Wei for a thorough physical examination. After obtaining his physical parameters, Wei Wei led him to a laboratory to prepare the Gene Liquid.
Moments later, Feng Qi lay on the operating table as the Gene Liquid was injected.
"Your body has already begun absorbing the Gene Liquid. This process takes time. Why don't you get some rest?" Wei Wei said with a smile.
Hearing this, a wave of intense drowsiness washed over him.
He finally succumbed, falling into a deep sleep.
He didn't know how long he slept, but when he woke up, Wei Wei was gone.
Rising from the operating table, Feng Qi felt utterly refreshed. His vision was exceptionally clear, and the physical enhancements from the Gene Liquid far surpassed his expectations.
At that moment, the lab door opened, and Wei Wei, now in a Scarlet research uniform, strode in.
"How do you feel? Pretty amazing, right?"
"Incredible. Truly a masterpiece from the Scarlet Research Institute," Feng Qi praised without reservation.
"Ready to leave?"
"Yes," Feng Qi nodded.
His primary focus in this Future Line was the technology research institute. He needed to study diligently to gain early admission to the technology academy, so he couldn't linger here.
"This is the wilderness. You won't be able to hail a taxi. I'll contact the base garrison. They'll arrange for someone to take you back to Star City Academy."
"Thank you."
Wei Wei contacted the base garrison and personally escorted him to the base entrance. A light armored vehicle was already waiting there.
Before parting, Wei Wei turned to him and said:
"Come find me anytime you're feeling lost."
"Do I look that fragile?" Feng Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
