After confirming that the spherical space indeed replenishes energy by absorbing high-purity energy fluid, despite having many doubts in his mind.

But this huge discovery left Sun Cheng excited for the entire night, to the point that even when his consciousness left the space, he couldn't fall asleep and tossed and turned in bed until dawn without a hint of drowsiness.

"...Cock-a-doodle-doo..."

When the clear sound of a rooster crowing came from outside the window, he still couldn't find any trace of sleepiness. So, he turned off the air conditioning, got out of bed, and after a quick wash, he changed into a fresh set of clothes before heading downstairs to have breakfast.

Since becoming a streamer, Ye Qi had developed a habit of sleeping in. She rarely woke up before ten in the morning, and sometimes even slept until one or two in the afternoon.

Sun Cheng felt noticeably invigorated after eating something light at a nearby restaurant and filling his stomach.

Since he still wasn't feeling tired at all, he decided to pack some breakfast to keep in the fridge for when Ye Qi woke up. She could warm it up in the microwave and enjoy it later.

However, as he unlocked the door with his keys, Sun Cheng was surprised to hear the sound of knives cutting against a chopping board coming from the kitchen.

Curiosity got the better of him, and he walked towards the noise. To his surprise, he found Ye Qi bustling around in the kitchen.

"Sis, why did you wake up so early today?"

He asked, puzzled, as he weighed the breakfast he had bought for her. "Are you hungry? Don't worry, I brought some food for you!"

"Thank you..."

Ye Qi smiled faintly and took the breakfast from Sun Cheng's hands, placing it on the nearby cutting board without pausing her activities.

"Our dinner plans are set for today and tomorrow. We might also go around Nandu for some fun. I almost forgot to tell you that I might stay out overnight for these two days!"

Sun Cheng furrowed his brows slightly, but quickly smoothed them out before she noticed.

Ye Qi had her own circle of friends, including a few familiar female streamers in Nandu. Sun Cheng wasn't worried about that. What bothered him was the realization that once these two days of activities were over, the woman he had silently loved for many years would probably leave him again and return to Shencheng.

It made him unhappy!

"No, I can't keep concealing my feelings like this!"

Deep within his eyes, a firm belief called determination started to grow stronger.

The monster known as 'Secularity' was far more powerful than anyone could imagine.

Even Sun Cheng himself, despite knowing that he had no blood relation with Ye Qi, hesitated to take a step forward due to societal expectations. It was time to boldly reveal his true feelings to the woman he loved.

"Now, it's time to make a change!"

With this thought in mind, Sun Cheng quickly made up his mind.

Taking a step closer, he smiled and said, "I understand. You also need to take care of yourself!"

"Yes!"

Ye Qi nodded and said, "I'm going to cook some bacon porridge. Have you had breakfast? Have a little porridge before going to the company!"

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Sun Cheng, who was standing beside her. Suddenly, she seemed to have noticed something and looked at him up and down with a puzzled expression. "Hmm, did you put on makeup? Why does it feel like something is different..."

Sun Cheng was momentarily stunned, but he quickly understood. He smiled faintly but didn't respond.

If this clueless woman could truly sense his feelings for her, she would have interrupted his thoughts long ago, and he wouldn't have spent so many years pining for her in silence.

It could only be said that after spending over a decade together as family, she could detect differences that others might overlook.

Last night, he had confirmed that the mysterious space within him could replenish energy by absorbing high-purity energy liquid. This discovery finally relieved Sun Cheng's constant worry about running out of energy in the space, not knowing when.

The energy consumed by the spherical space could be replenished, which meant that Sun Cheng could travel more frequently between the two worlds. Furthermore, utilizing the storage function of the spherical space, he could discreetly transport a large amount of confidential materials and equipment to any location.

If he desired, he could even have a fully armed army of combat robots at his disposal, ready to be deployed at any time and anywhere.

Realizing all this, Sun Cheng's demeanor underwent a complete transformation. A powerful self-confidence emanated from his very being, making him finally shed some of the caution he had exercised in the other world and revealing a sense of youthful vigor that he had been lacking!

Even though these changes were subtle, they were unlikely to be noticed by someone who was not familiar with him. However, Ye Qi, who had an exceptional relationship with him, managed to discern a hint of difference.

He himself was less perceptive of the changes on his own person than others.

Not knowing what Ye Qi had actually noticed, Sun Cheng pondered for a moment and then smoothly changed the subject.

"Sister, you've been busy meeting friends during these days in Nandu, and I couldn't find the time to accompany you due to the new venture of my company. How about this? After your gathering with friends is over, stay a couple of extra days in Nandu, and I'll take you on a tour of my company!"

He was being crafty. Ye Qi was a woman with a strong personality, and even when she went out to have fun, she wouldn't neglect her work for too long. So, the chances of directly persuading her to stay were slim.

However, if he managed to make her stay for just one or two more days, there was still a good chance of success.

As expected, as soon as Sun Cheng opened his mouth, Ye Qi put the finely diced bacon into the pre-soaked rice pot and immediately agreed, "Alright, but I can only stay for one more day before I have to go back!"

"Great!"

After persuading her to stay for an extra day, Sun Cheng, who had already had breakfast, didn't stay to have another meal with her. He quickly left the apartment and drove to the company.

Unfortunately, he encountered traffic on the way. When Sun Cheng arrived at the company, Wang Lu had already arrived ahead of him. Sun Cheng entered the lobby where Wang Lu was standing with a few employees who had arrived earlier, engaging in lively conversation. It was unclear what they were discussing.

As he got closer, Sun Cheng could finally hear his junior high school brother, Yang Fei, shouting excitedly with his back turned to him.

"...As expected of our Chinese nuclear weapons general, he's truly impressive! Those damn Russians think they can cause trouble in Central Asia, but are we Chinese really afraid of them? I say we should send our troops straight to Kazakhstan. Central Asia is the center of global geopolitics. We've worked tirelessly for over half a century to achieve our current position. How can we let a coup destroy everything we've built?"

"Up so early, what are you all talking about..."

Sun Cheng didn't catch the entire conversation, but as he got closer, he couldn't help but smile and ask.

"Mr. Sun..."

"Mr. Sun, you're here..."

As soon as Sun Cheng's voice was heard, Yang Fei, who had just been speaking boastfully, couldn't help but shiver and quickly turned around, with a somewhat radiant expression.

Like some other students from South China University of Technology, although they were recruited by Sun Cheng to join Cybertron, they were still university students at the end of the day, and their technical skills were noticeably inferior to those of the technical personnel recruited by Cybertron.

However, thanks to Sun Cheng's support, although their salaries were slightly lower than those of regular employees, the difference wasn't significant.

Yang Fei and the others understood that they were Sun Cheng's investment to attract more intellectually talented and ambitious monsters from South China University of Technology, just like Lu Nan, who had both ideas and skills, to join Cybertron.

After realizing this, including Yang Fei, who had a somewhat carefree personality, couldn't help but feel a bit more reverence towards his senior brother.

"Please have a seat, let's continue with your conversation. It's not yet time for work... Come on, tell me as well, what were you all talking about earlier, you seemed so happy..."

As everyone's gaze fell upon him, Yang Fei scratched his head. Young people couldn't keep secrets, so he immediately spilled the beans about what they had been discussing with great excitement.

"Mr. Sun, we were just talking about the situation in the Western Regions... Have you not seen today's news? Around nine o'clock last night, the Kazakh military advanced towards Almaty. After repeated warnings from Almaty, General Cheng Shitao, the governor of the Western Regions, ordered them to open fire and directly destroy a mechanized brigade of the invading Kazakh military that was attempting to breach our borders. I heard that our troops have already crossed the border..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng's eyes widened.
