Tian Yangni didn’t dare to complain to Feng Jun, but instead gently hinted to the other party, “You’re being watched by the Wonderful Hand Pavilion, and this is definitely not the end of it. In the coming days, you must be careful and vigilant.”

“Next time they come, it won’t just be petty theft; they’ll likely launch a direct attack on you.”

Lang Zhen disagreed with his view and immediately spoke up in rebuttal, “What you said is incorrect. The first time the Wonderful Hand Pavilion came, they didn’t announce themselves. They must have been hired by someone else. They weren’t fighting for their own cause, so how could they casually execute others?”

Tian Yangni retorted with a sneer, “I’m only advising the Divine Doctor to be careful. As for you, Lone Wolf? Haha, believe it or not, that’s up to you!”

Feng Jun felt a bit overwhelmed listening to their argument, but what concerned him more was: it seems if the Wonderful Hand Pavilion sends someone again, my situation will become much more dangerous?

Feng Jun felt somewhat wronged, as at that time he had only captured the people and handed them over.

He hadn’t offered any suggestion on how to deal with those two, and those who suggested murder and carried it out were not associated with him.

He had simply not opposed the killing, while indicating, “I can understand your reasons for killing,” and nothing more.

However, there was no use discussing this now. The priority was to prepare for defense; he couldn’t expect the power grid to stop all invaders.

It had rained all night, and the rain continued to fall softly and unceasingly, adding a touch of chill to the air—bone-piercingly cold and damp.

Feng Jun sat under the eaves, staring blankly at the raindrops in the air: How should I prepare my defenses?

After much thought, he decided that mere defense was too passive—it would be more prudent to sense the ill intentions of the relevant parties and take initiative.

So, the immediate priority was still to enhance his cultivation level—that was key!

After all, no matter what happens, relying on others is never dependable. People, you can only trust yourself…

Huh? Hold on, maybe there’s something else you can trust… a stroke of luck?

Feng Jun took out his mobile phone and stared at it for a long time until he accidentally came across the “High-Quality Imitation Map” app.

If only the map could show different factions like in a game, where related characters are marked in distinct colors.

He couldn’t help but daydream: in that case, one’s own faction would be green, the enemy’s red, and neutrals yellow…

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

With this thought, he unconsciously tapped on the map with his left hand, “Hmm, let’s have a look… off we go~”

The next moment, he found himself in a vast expanse… of boundless white, like a snowfield, yet without feeling any cold.

I forgot, my current self is just a string of data, what does cold matter?

He lifted his foot and walked a few steps forward, then turned to look back, only to see that his trek had left no footprints on the pure white ground.

Of course, this isn’t a real snowfield, where would footprints come from?

The next moment, he stood on his tiptoes and looked around.

Regrettably, his gaze met nothing but the endless white expanse, devoid of any other color.

He chose a direction and ran desperately, not knowing for how long; he ended breathless and panting, but the surroundings remained unchanged—there were no surroundings, just white, endlessly.

In short, after running for so long, it was no different from marking time, the only change was his energy.

After much thought, Feng Jun slapped his forehead hard—wasn’t he being silly? An electronic map needs satellite support to function!

Obviously, this plane can’t possibly have satellites!

After exiting the map, he was still somewhat reluctant… was this stroke of luck really of no help at all?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Just then, Feifei finished preparing the meal and called everyone to eat.

With his mind preoccupied, Feng Jun absentmindedly scarfed down more than a dozen bowls—the bowls in this realm were much bigger than those on Earth Realm, equivalent to basins on Earth.

Only when he noticed the strange looks from others did Feng Jun come back to his senses, glanced around, and walked away nonchalantly after putting down his bowl.

“Wow,” Deng Lao Er made a silent face behind his back, whispering, “Divine Doctor, such an appetite… was catching the thief last night that hard?”

“He ate all the food,” Feifei said timidly, “I guess… he’s implying you guys didn’t work?”

“Wasn’t I on guard outside the courtyard?” Deng Lao Er was quite indignant, “The thief was inside the yard!”

Deng Lao Da asked him faintly, “So, how did the thief get into the yard?”

Deng Lao Er fell silent, while Feifei pouted and complained, “My food got eaten, too…”

As they squabbled over the food, Feng Jun pondered: if the Autumn Map is useless, what else could he try?

He wasn’t unaware that anything involving his immediate surroundings faced a problem of positioning, and positioning could not be done without satellite assistance.

But without trying, how could he be content?

After thinking for a while, he swiped open WeChat and started to daydream while staring at the “People Nearby” feature.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

In this space where cultivation was possible, he had accessed WeChat twice, but each time it was through the Contacts list, entering a friend’s private space, and he had never used the “Nearby People” feature.

As for the reason, wasn’t it obvious? This plane had no mobile signal, so wouldn’t tapping on “Nearby People” just be a waste of his own energy points?

However, now he felt like recklessly giving it a try, because he had no other options left.

Of course, “Nearby People” would definitely require satellite positioning, but it seemed… the mobile phone itself could actively send out signals, such as a “personal hotspot”, right?

Feng Jun didn’t know whether his thinking was correct, but at this moment, he definitely wanted to try it, otherwise he wouldn’t be content.

In the Earth Realm, after tapping on “Nearby People”, he would select a suitable ID from the list and then use his left hand to tap it.

But now, he stretched out his left hand directly and tapped the words “Nearby People”, “Here we go~”

The next moment, Feng Jun found himself in an empty room that seemed to be a few hundred square meters in size.

In front of him was a door with four large characters written on it, “Nearby People”.

Indeed, it was a bit different. He walked up to it, took a deep breath, and pushed the door.

The door was tightly shut, and he almost used all his strength to finally push it open.

Behind the door was another vast room, and in the center of the room was a big screen of about seventy inches. There was a blue dot in the center of the screen, which was clearly his own location.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Around the blue dot, there were bright spots the size of table tennis balls, and the rest of the screen was black.

Inside this table tennis-sized area, there were five red dots. Upon seeing this, Feng Jun furrowed his brow. Were these… enemy factions?

He pointed his left hand at one of the bright spots, and immediately, a long string of information appeared on the screen.

“Liu Feifei, female, from Xiao Qin Village, Zhige County, Qingning Prefecture, Fushan County, Donghua Country, seven years old, orphaned, height 1.32 meters, weight 21.5 kilograms, physical condition: malnourished, frail.”

Feng Jun stared blankly at the screen for a while, then muttered softly, “I mean… what about loyalty? Even if there’s no loyalty, friendliness would do.”

However, it was apparent he was overthinking; the big screen displayed only objective facts, and things like loyalty were not included!

For instance, he found out that one of the red dots was named Zhu Tianbao, nicknamed Brother Bao, with a cultivation level of High-Rank Martial Warrior.

So, Lord Beiyuan’s surname was Zhu! This was the first thought that popped into Feng Jun’s mind.

The other three red dots were named Lang Zhen, Deng Tianxiang, and Deng Tianrui — those were the Deng Family Brothers’ full names.

So out of the five red dots, four were from his own team, with the other being Brother Bao.

The next moment, Feng Jun’s frown deepened. Where was Feifei’s younger brother Huan Huan?

But soon after, he pushed the question out of his mind. Huan Huan was over three years old and could already stagger around everywhere, and there wasn’t anything dangerous around the yard anyway, so Feifei’s approach to him was laissez-faire.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The real issue was Brother Bao. How come he showed up in my vicinity?

Yet for Feng Jun, this was still not something crucial. What he wanted to know the most right now was how broad was the range that this “Nearby People” feature, akin to a personal hotspot on a mobile phone, could probe?

It turned out that the range wasn’t very wide at all, with a radius of only about thirty meters, and it was… not adjustable.

Such a probing range could hardly be described as nearby; it was virtually “People Right in Front of You”.

As Feng Jun complained, he pulled open the room door, preparing to exit WeChat.

But the sight of the words “Nearby People” was particularly bothersome, so he lifted his hand and erased the word “Nearby”, intending to change it to “Right in Front”.

Uh… hold on, the next moment, Feng Jun got a jolt: the words on this can be changed?

He was stunned for a full five seconds before coming back to his senses. He drew in the air with his finger dozens of times, stubbornly changing the four characters “Nearby People” to “Nearby Ore Resources”.

Immediately following, without any hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked in again.

The scene inside the room was still the same, but the circle of light on the big screen was no longer the size of a table tennis ball, but the size of a tire, meaning the probing radius was a good… over three hundred meters!

The roughly six-hundred-meter diameter circle was occupied by bright spots of various colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, as well as pink, gold, brown, gray, and likely a hundred others.

Feng Jun casually clicked on a gold-colored light spot but accidentally tapped on the sky blue one next to it, and the words “Frost Copper Ore” immediately appeared.

He clicked on the gold-colored light spot again, and the words “Refined Gold” appeared.

Holy crap… Feng Jun’s mouth hung open in shock, his astonishment simply indescribable with words.

“Could there really be… such an operation?”

After being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses, looking at the densely packed light spots on the screen, and without a second thought, he turned around and left.

After exiting the room, he again took action, changing “Nearby Ore Resources” to “Nearby Immortal Crystals”.
