332 Shen Yi’s Curiosity

Once Su Ming returned to the workshop, he had originally planned to go straight to his room.

However, he did not expect that just as he walked into the villa’s living room, he would bump into Shen Yi, who was walking out.

After the two of them collided, they were both slightly stunned.

Once she came back to her senses, Shen Yi first frowned slightly and cast a glance behind Su Ming before she asked, “Did you just go out?”

!!

When Su Ming heard that, he did not see any need to deny it. He immediately nodded and said, “Yes, I had something to do.”

Shen Yi nodded.

After that, Su Ming originally intended to leave the living room and head to his own room.

After all, based on Shen Yi’s personality, she would not ask about anything else after she asked this question.

However, this time, Shen Yi exceeded his expectations.

Just as he was about to take a step, Shen Yi, who was at the side, had already spoken.

“What did you do?”

Su Ming was stunned for a moment. He stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Shen Yi. He saw her looking at him curiously.

“If it’s not something important, you wouldn’t give up your leveling time to go to your appointment.”

As Shen Yi spoke, she pouted her lips. There was a hesitant look on her face, and there was something in her eyes that Su Ming could not understand.

Su Ming was slightly taken aback, then instinctively said, “It’s just something not too important, but I have to deal with it.”

Shen Yi lowered her eyes and stared at her feet. “Is it another girl?”

Su Ming was shocked by Shen Yi’s sudden question. His eyes widened and he looked at Shen Yi in disbelief.

“What did you just say?”

When Shen Yi heard that, she lifted her head once again and looked at Su Ming before her with a determined look in her eyes.

“I say, did you go out to see other girls this time?”

The moment she said that, Su Ming’s expression changed. There was a mix of shock and amusement on his face.

“Why do you think so?”

Shen Yi furrowed her beautiful brows and unhappily said, “If that’s not it, why would you give up your precious leveling time to go to an appointment that you don’t think is very important?”

When Shen Yi said those words, Su Ming did not know if he was just imagining things.

He felt that Shen Yi’s face seemed to be sour.

Once he gradually came back to his senses, Su Ming looked at Shen Yi with a slightly amused expression, then said, “You’re that curious about what I did when I went out?”

When Shen Yi heard this, she firmly nodded her head.

Su Ming chuckled softly. After that, he brought Shen Yi to the living room and sat down.

“Well, this is what happened…”

In the time that followed, Su Ming told Shen Yi what had happened.

From the time he received Shen Fang’s call in the game until he returned to the villa.

Su Ming did not hide anything from Shen Yi, including the fact that Shen Fang had managed to guess his identity.

When Shen Yi heard Su Ming’s words, her expression also changed slightly.

At the same time, an embarrassed expression gradually appeared on her face.

After all, the way she acted as if she had been busted and how she had questioned Su Ming whether he was meeting a girl was still fresh in her mind.

When she thought of this, Shen Yi’s expression suddenly became even more embarrassed.

Once Su Ming finished explaining everything, he turned his head around and looked at Shen Yi.

“That’s how it went. If you don’t believe me, you can call your brother to verify it.”

When Shen Yi heard this, she lifted her hand almost reflexively.

“Forget it, forget it, I don’t need to.” Shen Yi took a deep breath and said, “I believe what you said.”

After Shen Yi finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and the expression on her face gradually returned to normal.

“I’m just very curious about what my brother is planning. Can he really accomplish what he said?”

“According to what you’re saying now, the Extraterrestrials’ technology is purely a dimension-lowering attack on us.”

“If it wasn’t for this game as a buffer, I’m afraid our Earth would have been destroyed by now.”

“Under such circumstances, isn’t it too difficult for my brother, as an ordinary human, to accomplish what he promised?”

When Su Ming heard Shen Yi’s words, he first fell into deep thought, then he shook his head and said, “It’s hard for me to guess, but since he dares to say so, it means that he’s confident in this matter.”

“And his contact with the Extraterrestrials… I think he’s probably the only human with so much experience with Extraterrestrials.”

“If there’s someone who can do what he said, I can’t think of anyone else other than him.”

When Shen Yi heard Su Ming’s words, she fell silent for a moment. Clearly, she was trying to digest what Su Ming had said.

“I have a question.”

When Su Ming heard this, he nodded and replied, “Just ask it.”

Shen Yi paused for a moment and then said, “I’m very curious as to why my brother said that he could only protect 10,000 people at most.”

“Why is it only 10,000? If it’s more than 10,000, can’t he protect them?”

“Is this condition his own estimation or a specific target given to him by the Extraterrestrials?”

...

When Su Ming heard Shen Yi’s series of questions, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He could not help but admit that he was also curious about the questions that Shen Yi had asked.

Why was this number exactly 10,000?

Did Shen Fang and the Extraterrestrials reach some kind of exchange condition internally?

Su Ming thought about it for a long time, but he could not come up with any ideas.

“I don’t know. Your brother must have his reasons for saying that.”

“As for how he came to the conclusion that it is 10,000, all our guesses are useless before he gives us an answer. We know too little about the truth behind this.”

When Su Ming said these words, he had been frowning ever so slightly.

After hearing Su Ming’s words, Shen Yi also sighed in a slightly resigned manner.

“That’s true. If my brother doesn’t take the initiative to explain, we probably won’t be able to figure out the reason even if we crack our heads.”

Shen Yi helplessly sighed again and continued, “I’ll ask him the next time I meet him.”
