Meng Huai listened to their concerned words and replied with a smile, "Nothing has happened! I could even eat two bowls of rice! But, where is Senior Rong?"
Seeing that they were all present, Meng Huai asked, noticing Rong Feiwen was absent.
Upon hearing Meng Huai's question, they all looked at each other. Finally, Jing Yuancheng informed Meng Huai of Rong Feiwen's whereabouts.
"Him? He went to help repair the protective wall."
Meng Huai heard this news and asked in confusion, "Protective wall?"
Seeing Meng Huai's face full of question marks, Zheng Yiran told her, "The protective wall was severely damaged yesterday, and many engineers and mecha pilots were called to 'patch the wall.' Rong Feiwen, for some reason, actually volunteered to help."
Hui Xingxiu was also very surprised by Rong Feiwen's actions and said, "That's right, he's always just focused on researching mechas. I don't know what's gotten into him today."
Meng Huai thought about Rong Feiwen's resistance to making some stoves yesterday and had some speculation, "Perhaps the mecha helmet pot from yesterday inspired him too much, or perhaps Uncle's presence influenced him subtly?"
Meng Huai's words caused everyone to fall into thought. Wen Bai, the famous mecha master, was praised and lauded by the outside world. Only those who knew him well in the past understood his character.
However, after interacting with Wen Bai yesterday, the few of them had gained some understanding of him.
Zheng Yiran affirmed Meng Huai's guess, "Rong Feiwen greatly admires Master Wen. It seems Master Wen has indeed influenced him. I didn't expect the power of an idol to be so great, capable of changing a person so quickly."
The group arrived at the command center. The people there showed grateful expressions upon seeing Meng Huai.
"Classmate Meng, how are you feeling?"
"Classmate Meng, you were so cool yesterday!"
"Classmate Meng, you're truly amazing!"
"Classmate Meng, your perception and communication in command are also quite accomplished!"
Along the way, everyone they encountered in the command center ignored others and greeted Meng Huai.
Moreover, their tone was very familiar, as if they had known her for more than a day, even though they might not have exchanged a single word with Meng Huai yesterday.
Finally, Xie Xue saw them approaching and greeted them warmly as well.
"You're here! Meng Huai, how are you today? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"No. What's the situation now?"
Upon hearing Meng Huai's question, Xie Xue's expression changed.
He said with a troubled expression, "Beasts from all directions, we can't defeat them no matter how hard we try. After the jellyfish was killed yesterday, there was a period of calm, but more beasts attacked at night."
Xie Xue hadn't finished speaking and continued, "And in the northeast, the beasts come in waves. Either there are a lot of them, or very few appear. However, the central city has not seen any beasts since last night."
Beasts attacking simultaneously in waves? Could it be that the beasts also have a commander?
Xie Xue looked at Meng Huai, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Meng Huai, that thing you posted on the wall yesterday..."
Meng Huai told Xie Xue, "That's a talisman. It can have an offensive effect, but if others use it, it won't achieve the same effect as yesterday."
During the previous test, Meng Huai had given others low-level talismans that could be activated by incantations. However, the talismans from yesterday were top-grade and could only be driven by spiritual energy.
What's more, the effect from yesterday wasn't solely due to the talismans; the formation played a greater role.
Xie Xue was very disappointed to hear this news and sighed, then thought again, "Sigh. Hmm... Can we buy some? The kind that we can use."
Meng Huai took out some low-level talismans, but the quantity was not large.
"There's only this much."
Meng Huai then took out some unadorned talisman paper and placed it on the table. She looked at Xie Xue and said, "Give me some time."
"Okay! No rush, no rush."
Seeing her demeanor, Xie Xue roughly understood Meng Huai's actions. He spoke excitedly, his gratitude towards Meng Huai deepening.
However, he pondered again: What was the background of this person named Meng Huai? The records only showed her as an orphan from a garbage planet, but how could an orphan know so much? Why did an orphan possess such powerful and unheard-of abilities!
But at this moment, all he could do was appease Meng Huai. As long as Meng Huai was willing to help, what did the cost matter!
Xie Xue, along with Zheng Yiran and others, gathered around Meng Huai. They watched as Meng Huai took out a brush, needing no ink, and drew something on the paper.
After a series of 'random scribbles,' as soon as Meng Huai stopped drawing, lines appeared on the paper.
They looked at each other, trying to figure out what had just happened.
But they dared not speak, afraid of disturbing Meng Huai.
Then they saw Meng Huai's speed continuously increasing. In their eyes, it looked like she would quickly make a few strokes, and then the paper would be tossed aside.
Watching Meng Huai's practiced movements, Xie Xue thought, was this the paper that displayed extraordinary effects yesterday? Why did it feel like he had been deceived?
However, Xie Xue also knew that it only looked like a fake but was not.
Observing Meng Huai's familiar movements, Hui Xingxiu whispered to Jing Yuancheng, covering his mouth, "I feel like I could draw this too! It doesn't seem very complicated."
Jing Yuancheng glanced at him, "You overestimate yourself."
As Meng Huai finally finished drawing all the papers in her hands, she tidied them up and handed them to Xie Xue.
"Here, I can only draw this many."
Drawing these low-level talismans was very simple for Meng Huai, and her spiritual energy was not significantly depleted. However, the materials were truly limited, and as they left in a hurry, she ran out of talisman paper.
"Good, thank you so much. These will surely be a great help!"
Xie Xue now had an inexplicable trust in Meng Huai, believing that her items were the best.
Just as Meng Huai handed the drawn talismans to Xie Xue, Hui Xingxiu approached the table, picked up a talisman brush, and mimicked Meng Huai's actions, drawing on the table with a semblance of seriousness.
But the talisman brush in his hand was just an ordinary pen. Without ink, it was simply drawing in the air.
No changes occurred, which greatly disappointed Hui Xingxiu.
"What? I'm drawing exactly the same as Meng Huai!"
Jing Yuancheng showed no mercy to Hui Xingxiu, "Hmph, that's just your self-deception."
Zheng Yiran also said solemnly, "That thing, I suspect it's not as simple as we see."
Zheng Yiran didn't finish his sentence, which was: Otherwise, when Meng Huai's online shop was popular, someone would have made imitations. And since no imitations are circulating now, it means others cannot make this thing. Or rather, they can only imitate the form, but not achieve its effect.
