"Brother Ye Chen, although I don't know what exactly you're doing this time, I know it's something very important. So, I still wish you great success and smooth sailing on your journey."

"Alright, I'll take your good words. Let's leave it at that for now, it's getting late. You should head back and get some rest. If there's anything unclear, you can talk it over with the old man."

"Okay, I understand. Let's get in touch again once you return."

After saying that, Guo Hongyu hung up the phone.

Having taken this call, Ye Chen actually started to feel a bit unsettled.

He always felt that Guo Hongyu was indeed lacking a lot in this area.

If he could really wake up in a short time, he believed it would indeed be quite a challenge for Guo Hongyu.

But there's no choice. He is now shouldering such a mission, and if he really could decide to change everything, then there's no other choice for him.

That's fine, life is always about the constant blows and maturity, and then slowly letting oneself grow up.

Ye Chen also knew that Guo Hongyu needed this process, and once this process is successful, then he believed nothing could truly change all of it.

After doing all these things, Ye Chen simply got up from the bed. For some reason, even without dinner tonight, he didn't feel the slightest bit hungry.

Maybe it's because his heart was occupied with some things, so Ye Chen couldn't really let go of everything.

Ye Chen opened the room door and looked around. At this moment, it was deathly quiet outside the room.

Looking again at Anying's room, there was still no change—the light was still on inside.

He knew, just before a big operation, the busiest one should be Anying.

He didn't want to disturb Anying since she needed absolute quiet at this time.

However, if Anying didn't have a meal, truth be told, Ye Chen felt a little uneasy about that.

Since he couldn't help her prepare these things himself, at the very least, he should do something within his capability.

Thinking along these lines, Ye Chen hurriedly went down to the first-floor kitchen.

He looked at the instant noodles bought earlier, as well as some eggs and luncheon meat, which were now in the fridge.

With these things, he believed he could at the very least make a simple meal for Anying to fill her stomach.

Thinking while he worked, Ye Chen started the process. To be honest, he rarely cooked, but a simple meal of instant noodles shouldn't be a big problem for him.

In about ten minutes or so, the plate of instant noodles was ready. He took a sniff—good, it was steaming hot and smelled delicious.

Standing in the downstairs living room, he looked up.

"Anying, Anying."

He called out loudly and then heard the sound of a door opening, after which Anying appeared above him.

"What is it? Is there something happening?"

"Anying, it's already almost 9 PM. I know you're still busy preparing, but you still need to have a meal. So I cooked some simple noodles for you. Come down and eat something. After you finish eating, you can go back."

"I said didn't I? No need to eat, I'm not used to eating much at night."

"That's no good, we count on you to sail the boat early tomorrow morning. You can't go with an empty stomach. Come on, hurry down and eat this meal. After you eat, I won't stop you from doing anything."

"Alright, alright, wait for me, I'll come down right now."

Seeing that Ye Chen thoughtfully prepared all this for her, Anying felt it would indeed be awkward to refuse.

So, with Ye Chen accompanying her, she wolfed down the bowl of noodles.

"Anying. Is it enough? Eat slower. If it's not enough, I'll cook another portion for you. There's plenty of these instant noodles in the kitchen."

"It's enough, it's enough. This portion is already plenty. I'm just checking the island landing list one last time. And after we get on the island this time, I reckon we can't get down for three to five days."

"What? Three to five days? Is it really necessary to stay for that long? Wasn't it said to be solvable in a day or two?"

"Big brother, don't be silly. Do you know how big that island is? Plus, how many potential dangers are there? We don't know any of that. Merely walking on the island could take nearly two days."

"Is it really that simple? From what we saw, the island didn't seem that big."

"Yes, the island's area is indeed not very big, but don't forget it's surrounded by the sea and the terrain is very complex. It's not like walking on flat ground. If it were flat, it might only take a day to cover it. But there are unknown factors on the island, so we must prepare for it in advance."

"Oh, I see. Well, you have had outdoor survival experience, so I believe you'll be fine."

"But as I said, I used to be alone, which was easier to manage. But now with the two of you, that's three people in total. I must prepare everything in threes, and even plan in advance for possible difficulties."

"Don't worry, once we ensure safety tomorrow morning, the task of protecting the two of you is on me. You just handle the equipment and the other things."

"Earlier in my room, I tuned a drone. If it can smoothly take flight tomorrow, I believe we can roughly survey the island's environment, which should be of great help for our adventure journey."
