Yuan Xi shook Yates, telling him to go to sleep first. Yates looked around in a daze and then quickly dropped down. As for Luo XiaoLou, he shrank into his sleeping bag, never to come out again.

Perhaps tired from helping each other get comfortable, Luo XiaoLou had no more strange dreams. He slept until dawn. Surprisingly, Yates, who had gotten up early to go out for exercise, brought back a nest of bird eggs. The trio's breakfast, thus, became boiled eggs.

Afterwards, Yuan Xi and Yates continued on to their mecha for a special training session. They went to the cave and cleaned the area. Luo XiaoLou, who was bored sitting on the ground counting bugs, found something to his own surprise. Thirty meters into the cave, Luo XiaoLou found a red stone on the rock wall.

He called out to 125, who flashed and said, "It's Red Flame Ore. A Grade 3 material but it's rare. It's not cheap, and I only found some on the virtual web."

Luo XiaoLou stopped complaining under his breath about Yuan Xi and Yates's enthusiasm for training. He dragged his feet, unable to exert himself, and began to collect the Red Flame Ore.

In the process, Luo XiaoLou was reminded by 125 to exercise his Source of Consciousness. He explored bit by bit with his eyes closed. As more materials were collected, Luo XiaoLou's Source of Consciousness, which had been sapped, slowly began to build up again. It grew, and whether it was an illusion or not, Luo XiaoLou felt that this time the Source of Consciousness had become even more refined.

He asked 125 but even it couldn't figure out why. But... At least it was a blessing in disguise.

Now Luo XiaoLou was happy that he'd brought a lot of storage boxes with him. Luo XiaoLou even forgot to prepare lunch for Yuan Xi and Yates, as he was too busy chiseling away at a waist-high chunk of Red Flame Ore under 125's directions.

"What's he doing?" Yates watched Luo XiaoLou's excitement and busyness as he asked Yuan Xi, who was next to him.

Yuan Xi looked at him twice, then went up to Luo XiaoLou and gently pushed him aside. He pulled the entire strip of red ore out of the rock wall, while holding Luo XiaoLou in his arms.

Seeing the storage boxes on the ground, Yuan Xi and Yates realized why there was no lunch for them.

Luo XiaoLou smiled at the returning mecha warriors and neatly heated up the lunch boxes. Each had a fried egg added and the three of them began to eat a light lunch.

Yuan Xi bowed his head and ate without saying anything... However, Yates couldn't help but say, "Hey... You need to restrain yourself a little bit. You need to rest since your foot is still hurt."

"You don't understand, I've just discovered that this cave is full of treasure! Jesus. This is almost a mecha maker's paradise. How can I rest at a time like this? I've finally discovered the reason for my stay! I've decided to take all the materials in this cave..." Luo XiaoLou spoke passionately. But when he saw Yuan Xi staring at him coldly, his voice immediately trailed off. "Erm... It's okay to take some of it with you."

125 couldn't hold it any longer. It whispered under its breath. "Didn't you swear at me...?"

After the departure of Yuan Xi and Yates, Luo XiaoLou reassured 125, "That was just a good-natured lie. It's a growing experience.."

"If Yuan Xi finds out one day that you've kept so much from him, he'll be furious..." sighed 125.

The thought of Yuan Xi violating Luo XiaoLou at home, 125 shuddered.
