Returning to the white space, Arnold and the others were waiting for Ling Lu.
"Ling Lu, what did he talk to you about?" Arnold was the first to ask. With Lin Feng gone, he felt no hesitation in questioning her. As he spoke, Arnold's gaze subtly flickered to Ling Lu's wrist. Sure enough, the "big killer" had been put away.
It would be a lie to say they weren't curious about Lin Feng. The fact that he could casually lend such a powerful item to Ling Lu suggested their relationship was not ordinary. If they could latch onto such a powerful figure, it would be a significant asset for future missions.
Facing the inquiry, Ling Lu smiled and waved her hand. "Nothing much, he just asked me to bring him some local specialties next time!"
"Is that so?" Arnold looked at Ling Lu meaningfully. Ling Lu showed no cracks, maintaining her smile. "Yes." What a joke, was this something an outsider could pry into about a powerful figure? Ling Lu would never tell Arnold the truth.
Seeing that Ling Lu was unwilling to disclose anything, the two tacitly skipped the topic. The group began their point settlement and then returned to their respective universes. In the end, Arnold, still unwilling to give up, asked Ling Lu about Lin Feng's origins and identity. However, Ling Lu deflected all his questions. She only offered some information about the "Man of Steel," and even then, it was half-truthful. Although they were teammates who had undertaken several missions together, their relationship was far from as close as hers with Lin Feng. Furthermore, the incident with the horse-faced man had taught Ling Lu about the treacherous nature of the world and the need to keep some cards close to her chest. Therefore, the information Arnold obtained from Ling Lu was essentially useless.
Upon returning to Blue Star, Ling Lu, as Lin Feng had instructed, immediately fused the symbiote with herself. After opening the bottle cap, the red fluid seeped into Ling Lu's skin. Thanks to Lin Feng's modifications, there was no question of compatibility with the host. Hence, the fusion process was incredibly smooth. Moments later, a red head emerged from behind Ling Lu.
Ling Lu, with great foresight, started eating a large amount of chocolate. She knew the symbiote needed what was in the chocolate. And with the symbiote present, eating chocolate meant no fear of gaining weight! The symbiote also expressed its satisfaction with Ling Lu's actions.
After the fusion was complete, Ling Lu could clearly feel that her physical condition had reached an incredible level. Without the symbiote fully armed, her small hands could easily bend alloy, even leaving an indentation! Just as Lin Feng had said, this symbiote was outrageously powerful! Having fused with the offspring of the "Venomous Sting," Ling Lu became the strongest being on Blue Star, outside the Fourth Wall. Unrivaled! Most firearms would no longer cause her any harm. In fact, with the symbiote fully armed, their defenses couldn't even be breached! This was also Lin Feng's intention; not only would it allow Ling Lu to navigate future missions with ease, but it would also enable her to silently submit certain information Lin Feng had arranged to relevant departments! If it were an ordinary person, they would likely be tracked down within an hour. Lin Feng and Ling Lu's experiences were too extraordinary, and it wasn't yet time to expose themselves.
With the fusion complete, it was time for Ling Lu to proceed to the next step: Lin Feng's second plan. Ling Lu purchased a high-end apartment in the city for residence. Her best friend, a completely ordinary person, was also moving in and became her roommate. Life in the big city had a fast pace and high work pressure. Points could be exchanged for gold through the Light Brain. Since participating in the Light Brain's missions, Ling Lu had accumulated some savings. Thus, Ling Lu was now a bona fide rich girl, no longer needing to rent rooms and eat takeout. During the day, her best friend had to work. However, feeling uneasy, Ling Lu checked the apartment to ensure no one was there before stealthily returning to her bedroom. As if about to do something illicit, she solemnly locked the bedroom door... Once securely locked, Ling Lu sat at her desk and took out the Superman distress beacon. This was the second mission entrusted to her by the powerful figure. If she could truly summon the powerful figure back with this device, it would be incredibly exciting! Ling Lu took a deep breath and placed her finger on the beacon's button.

Without any surprises, she pressed it smoothly. At the same moment, Lin Feng, who was far away in another dimension, sensed the distress beacon's signal. He quickly took out the beacon to check. At this moment, Lin Feng's heart couldn't help but race. It had really arrived! A signal from outside the Fourth Wall! Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a surge of emotion. No one could understand the excitement Lin Feng felt at this moment. A wanderer far from home naturally yearned for their homeland. Even Lin Feng, who had experienced so much and cultivated a heart as calm as a deep well, couldn't help but be excited. Lin Feng also took a deep breath and used his consciousness to examine the coordinates transmitted by the beacon. However, Lin Feng's brow furrowed, a frown so deep it could trap flies. Unlike the old distress beacon, this one now displayed a jumble of garbled code. And it was continuously flickering. Even more absurdly, the garbled code was constantly fading, as if about to disappear. Simultaneously, the signal was weakening, appearing as if it might vanish at any moment. Lin Feng quickly calmed his mind. "Don't panic, sense it with your heart." He closed his eyes and pushed his sensing ability to its limit. Like a thread, it pierced through countless universes, attempting to connect to the outside of the Fourth Wall. But fate seemed determined to toy with Lin Feng. Lin Feng's senses passed through innumerable spaces, eventually stopping in a void, unable to advance an inch. Lin Feng could vaguely sense that beyond the void lay the outside of the Fourth Wall. But he was still unable to pinpoint the location accurately.
Time ticked by, and Lin Feng's anxiety grew. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't penetrate that layer of void. Subsequently, the signal completely disappeared, and Lin Feng ceased his exploration. Lin Feng opened his eyes, his expression somewhat grim, but his gaze was incredibly determined. He was not one to give up easily. This was a rare opportunity, and he was determined to try, come what may! Lin Feng did not hesitate to use the Space Gem, locating it within the void he could explore. A blue light screen appeared, and Lin Feng resolutely stepped forward. Nothing could stop his journey home!
