Chapter 578 Each Settles Down
Nono's "agreement" to go to the medical center for a check-up relieved Eve, who was standing nearby.
As a fellow doctor, she couldn't stand Nuonuo's behavior.
As the medic of a B-level mercenary group, she treats her injuries so carelessly and perfunctorily. What would she do if her comrades were injured?
Eve made up her mind very easily, then grabbed Nono's hand and led her toward the nearby medical center.
"After the check-up is complete and everything is confirmed to be alright, Eve will take you to meet up with your companions."
Nono's tense expression eased slightly when her companions were mentioned.
She looked up at the white building that gleamed in the sunlight and lowered her guard slightly.
"My companions...are they waiting for me?"
Nono lowered her head, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of vulnerability.
"Yes, when Eve got out of the car, she overheard some mercenary uncles discussing where you were, so she told them that you should be coming to the medical center."
"Really?"
Nono's golden eyes lit up slightly, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Eve's hand, but she quickly realized that her actions were inappropriate and quickly relaxed her grip.
Eve nodded vigorously: "Of course, they are all very worried about you. Eve heard that you are not only the medic of Chongfeng, but also the third captain of that group of mercenary uncles. If you fall, who will they turn to if they are injured?"
Nono unconsciously pursed her lips, seemingly digesting Eve's words, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
By breaking away from his companions and acting on his own during the escort mission, he was indeed too willful.
Even if it means dying, it shouldn't affect others...
A sentence suddenly popped into her mind, causing Nono to pause slightly.
"By the way, Ringo-neechan, Eve is busy with something for the time being. Would you like to wander around the courtyard by yourself?"
Suddenly remembering something, Eve turned her head and asked Ulanlinqin, who was following closely beside them.
"Sure, Eve, see you later."
Ulanlinqin smiled and waved, then walked away into the distance.

“Master Berylenko, what do you think of this residence?”
Zhao Tong led the two blacksmiths to a residence near the commercial district. The place was spacious enough to build a blast furnace.
Not far away is Clarice's Scarlet Bunny Mechanical Shop. If the blacksmith shop were to be set up here, it would be a good thing for Clarice, who needs a lot of metal and mechanical parts.
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied. Thank you War Courtyard, thank you homeowner."
Berylenko unloaded the heavy basket from his back and excitedly circled the yard of his house several times.
His rough, calloused hands stroked every brick and stone of the courtyard wall, as if he were appraising fine minerals.
"Look at this foundation, it's solid enough to support the blast furnace on top!"
Berylenko stomped his foot hard, making a dull echo: "And here, it would be perfect to put the forging table here. Ham, quick, bring me my measuring tape, I need to take good measurements, maybe we can add a quenching pool."
Yawning and half asleep, Ham heard his master's loud call and quickly took out a measuring tape from his toolbox and handed it to Bellenko.
Seeing Belilenko's oblivious state, Zhao Tong couldn't help but laugh.
This tough guy, who was skilled at smashing enemy skulls with a flail and could swing a forging hammer by the blast furnace for an entire day, was now like a child who had received a beloved toy, his eyes filled with only pure and fervent light.
"I'm glad you're satisfied, Master Belilenko. This residence is now yours and Brother Ham's. If you need any expansion or renovation, please go to the community center and submit an application to the courtyard."
Zhao Tong nodded, his gaze sweeping across the courtyard to the machinery room next door.
Titan also ended his own exploration mission and returned to the courtyard to be with Claura.
The child was sitting on Titan's shoulder, curiously looking towards the blacksmith's shop.
"Great! This courtyard is the perfect place. We wouldn't have such good conditions if we stayed in the university area."
Berylenko took the measuring tape from Ham, muttering to himself about his plans: "We need to break through this wall and put the blast furnace directly under the eaves, make sure it's well-ventilated, and reinforce the roof. If the fire is too strong, it might cause the roof to collapse..."
Unable to sleep, Ham grimaced as he frantically jotted down his master's various ideas in his notebook.
"By the way, Master Belirenko, there is something else I need to remind you of."
Before Zhao Tong could finish speaking, Bellenko interrupted him directly: "Hey, I understand, I understand. We'll work during the day and shut down at night to avoid disturbing the residents. I'll follow the rules, so please don't worry."
Judging from Berylenko's fluent speech, he must have received many complaints from homeless people in the surrounding area when he was in the settlement.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll come and talk to you again when I have time."
"Of course, of course, I will definitely wait for you."
After seeing Zhao Tong off, Berylenko looked at the houses in front of him again. They were no longer ordinary building materials, but a raging fire.
"What a wonderful place, what a wonderful place..."
He muttered to himself, his tone filled with anticipation for the future.

"Mr. Lorne, could you take me to the development zone first?"
Walking down the street in the community, Su Nuan, who was heading to her residence, suddenly made a request to Lorne, who was walking ahead of her.
Lorne stopped in his tracks, puzzled. "Ms. Su Nuan, are you going to the development zone?"
"Hmm, I'd like to go take a look there first."
Su Nuan nodded gently: "I remember Mr. Lorne said before that courtyard number 5905 is currently growing a large amount of rice."
"Yes, um... I understand. Please follow me, Ms. Su Nuan."
Remembering that the garlic plant spirit in front of him was a respectable agricultural academician, Lorne immediately understood the other party's intention—his professional instincts kicked in and he said yes.
Lorne took Su Nuan's suitcase and led her to the development zone.
What comes into view is an endless expanse of golden rice fields. Over such a long period of time, the planting area has expanded to several hundred acres.
"The plants are very tall, and the rice ears are fuller than those of common varieties..."
Su Nuan assessed the rice plants from a professional perspective and was astonished to find that they were not only growing well, but their vigorous vitality also exceeded her previous understanding of fast-growing rice.
"This is all thanks to Sister Ali. According to Ms. Starry Sky, she comes to the open area from time to time to help out and uses her Chosen Skill to speed up the ripening of the rice."
As he spoke, Lorne turned his head to look around, then pointed to a field: "Look, Ms. Su Nuan, that child is Ali."
Following the direction Lorne pointed, Su Nuan froze in place.
The reason was simple: the child named Ali, whom Lorne mentioned, had a face that Lorne had seen many times at the Long'an Fengnian Agricultural Research Institute, a face that was extremely familiar to her.
"That's... Jiahe?"
