The RV rumbled through the night, grandly, but no livestock with a death wish dared to come out for a midnight snack. In the past, turning on lights after dark here was taboo, but now the lights of Lone Star Villa had become a taboo for these livestock.
Inside the RV, Goudan and four other big dogs were squeezed into the living room. Only the uniCAt-tC59 off-road RV, dubbed the mobile fortress, could barely accommodate them. If it were any other RV, they would have probably had to leave a few behind to eat dust trailing behind the vehicle.
Little Fantuan, however, sat obediently beside Bai Ye, occasionally looking out the window with curiosity.
Bai Ye drove with one hand, settling down to check his live broadcast performance for the day.
Reputation: 79 million.
After a hard afternoon of broadcasting, he had only gained 6 million reputation. This was mainly because he hadn't performed much magic during the broadcast, and also because his magic performance the night before had been so stunning that the audience and fans felt today's broadcast was a bit bland. Thus, the harvest was dismal. He could only perform six draws in the advanced lucky draw area.
Gift revenue: 2 million.
This was much less than before, probably because those wealthy fans had also discovered that their fortunes were nothing compared to Bai Ye. They were more like bumpkins than tycoons.
Anything Bai Ye casually took out from his ranch, like that golden nanmu wood, was worth more than their entire net worth!
And Bai Ye was no longer interested in money. He had nearly ten billion saved in his Douyin account. The tons of premium agarwood he had casually brought back today, which could sell for a hundred thousand US dollars per kilogram, he had simply left in a corner of the yard.
The 500-year-old ginseng, conservatively estimated to be worth 50 million US dollars, was also placed in the living room as decoration.
As for the value of the entire ranch, it was worth more than the world's largest gold mine or diamond mine.
Upon entering Modu, Bai Ye noticed that the streets were much less crowded with people and vehicles tonight. At every intersection, he could see police officers and police cars.
Checking the news, he learned that the Modu government had issued a curfew: no one was allowed out after 12 AM, and all shops and entertainment venues had to close before 11:30 PM.
The official explanation was: military exercises!
The public was naturally shocked and abuzz, with discussions flooding the internet.
The unprecedented curfew did not cause riots. On the contrary, in the face of hardship, people showed strong unity.
Bai Ye smiled faintly.
His appointment with Elder Song was at one o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't yet twelve. Bai Ye first went to Modu People's Hospital and walked alone to Liang Yin and Zhang Yu's hospital room.
Inpatient department, C109, double room.
After drinking Bai Ye's magic potion, their condition stabilized within two days, and they were even recovering rapidly.
The Modu hospital was in an uproar, with doctors struggling to understand, and even many experts were invited to investigate (research).
However, the Modu police soon issued a ban, prohibiting anyone from taking any action towards the two individuals other than medical treatment.
At this moment, only Liang Yin and Zhang Yu were in the room, watching the news on television and seemingly discussing something. Their families had been there originally, but due to the curfew, they had left early.
Knock, knock~
Bai Ye, wearing a mask, raised his hand and knocked on the door. The room door was open, but out of politeness, Bai Ye still raised his hand to knock.
The two on the hospital beds turned to look at Bai Ye. Their heads were still bandaged, revealing only their eyes and mouths, with the scabs of their wounds faintly visible.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Yu asked with a confused expression. Liang Yin glanced at him, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, and quickly turned her head away, not wanting Bai Ye to see her current appearance.
"It's me, Bai Ye."
Bai Ye removed his mask, smiled gently, then put it back on and slowly walked in.
"Ah! Ouch!"
Zhang Yu excitedly moved his injured body, crying out in pain.
"Brother Ye, why are you here?"
"Sit down!"
Bai Ye smiled and said, "I came to see you. How are you recovering?"
Upon hearing Bai Ye's question, Zhang Yu became even more excited. He glanced towards the door and said,
"Very well! Brother Ye, let me tell you..."
Zhang Yu almost blurted it out, but then he seemed to remember something and chuckled foolishly, "Cough! Uh, forget it. This is confidential, hehe! Sorry, sorry."
He was truly excited. Since waking up, he felt his body had changed. Although his injuries hadn't healed yet, he felt full of strength, like Superman!
It wasn't just him; Liang Yin felt the same.
They suspected that after being bitten by those mutated giant rats, they had miraculously survived and also mutated, turning misfortune into fortune.
Like Spider-Man in the movies?
However, when Director Si and some other personnel came to investigate a while ago, they reported this situation, even preparing to sacrifice themselves on the operating table, waiting to be dissected.
But, to this day, they had not received any reply from their superiors. Their superiors had only told them to rest well and to keep the giant rat incident confidential, not to leak it to the outside world.
Bai Ye saw through his thoughts at a glance and smiled with narrowed eyes. Then, he activated his spatial perception and probed their injuries through the bandages.
The fatal wounds had already begun to heal. However, the scars remained, making their appearance look gruesome.
Suddenly, Bai Ye's cheek inside the mask flushed slightly, and he quickly withdrew his perception from Liang Yin.
She's too fierce! More fierce than my number one fan, the wealthy Zheng Xin.
Liang Yin, who had been looking away, suddenly turned her head to stare at Bai Ye. Her sixth sense told her something was not right.
"It's good that you're alright."
"Are you thirsty? Should I get you a cup of water?"
Bai Ye rubbed his nose, turned to the water dispenser, took out two disposable cups, and simultaneously, with a thought, quietly split a bottle of magic potion into two halves and poured them into the cups.
For a magic master, this was easier than drinking water.
"Brother Ye, no need!"
Zhang Yu was a bit overwhelmed with gratitude that Bai Ye had come to take care of them.
"Drink it!"
Bai Ye glared, and Zhang Yu chuckled and took it.
"Haha! It's so worth it to be your fan, Brother Ye."
"Huh? Hiss, why is this hot water a bit sweet? Is it because I'm too touched?"
After drinking, Zhang Yu looked at the empty cup with some confusion, then turned to look at Bai Ye, who was walking towards Liang Yin.
"Drink some hot water! It'll help your wounds heal."
Bai Ye handed the cup to Liang Yin.
"Drinking hot water can also help wounds heal?"
Liang Yin rolled her eyes at Bai Ye, amused and annoyed.
"Is your hot water omnipotent?"
However, she still slowly raised her hand and took the cup. Bai Ye's visit did move her.
"It's not that exaggerated, but it does help a bit."
Bai Ye smiled.
Seeing Bai Ye's serious expression, Liang Yin couldn't help but purse her lips.
"Hmm? Did you put sugar in it?"
After taking a sip, Liang Yin felt something was off, a slightly sweet taste.
"Huh! Sister Liang, is it a little sweet?"
