The End of the World: Chaos

While he was busy analyzing the secrets of the gemstone, he heard Ruth's clear voice: "Yang Yi, can you teach us something? You look very busy, shouldn't you have some breakfast?"

"Oh, it's okay." Yang Yi raised his head slightly and smiled, "I will find time. Today I want to thoroughly explore the secret of this soul gem, how can I be distracted by other things?"

Xika said softly, "But we don't want to bother you. If possible, we can also find some information for you to help you with your research."

Ruth raised her eyebrows playfully: "Don't work too hard. When we come back, remember to invite us for dinner!" After that, she and Sika looked at each other and smiled, and there was a bit of anticipation and joy in their laughter.

Yang Yi shook his head slightly and returned to the gem in his hand. He felt the huge energy contained in the gem, but realized that it was not easy to extract useful knowledge from it. The gem flickered between his fingers, as if telling some unknown secret.

"Yang Yi, is it really necessary to seek some help?" Seeing this, Xika felt uneasy and asked softly.

"If you can serve me, you can go and look up the history and characteristics of the Soul Gem. In this way, I may be able to refer to more information when I conduct an in-depth analysis." Yang Yi thought for a moment and finally responded.

Ruth and Sika looked at each other, and Ruth immediately said, "Okay! We'll go get the information right away, and you can work with peace of mind!"

"Thank you very much." Yang Yi showed gratitude on his face, and a warm current seemed to flow in his heart.

As the two beauties left, Yang Yi focused his gaze on the Soul Gem again. The soft light emitted by this gem was like the vast power hidden in the abyss. Yang Yi closed his eyes, trying to sense the fluctuations inside the gem, and silently thought in his heart: "How many secrets does the power of the soul hide?"

Half an hour later, the door of the apartment was pushed open again, and Ruth and Sika returned happily, holding several small bags full of spoils, which were almost as big as their bodies.

"Yang Yi, come and see what we bought!" Xika couldn't wait to walk towards Yang Yi, as excited as a child.

"Isn't this dress very attractive?" Ruth showed a dress in her hand with a satisfied smile on her face. "You will definitely admire our taste when you see it!"

Yang Yi raised his head slightly and smiled in response: "It is indeed moving, but I am here to study, so I would like you to demonstrate first."

"You are always like this, busy with creation. Why don't you take a break?" Ruth pouted, with dissatisfaction hidden between her brows.

"But this is my mission." Yang Yi answered firmly. Although he longed to share the joy with his friends, he knew very well that only by strengthening his own strength could he protect these two important people.

"We also want to know more uses of the Soul Gem. Can you tell us a thing or two?" Xika asked expectantly.

"Once I have digested the information here, I will share it with you." Yang Yi replied with a smile, his expression revealing concern.

Realizing Yang Yi's persistent attitude, Ruth and Sika understood each other and stopped bothering him, concentrating on sorting out their spoils. The sunlight outside the window became brighter, but the warm atmosphere in the apartment seemed a little solemn and quiet because of Yang Yi's concentration.

Soon after, Yang Yi turned his attention back to the Soul Gem, silently saying to himself: This work is not only for research, but also for future protection.

Time flies, busy and laughing quietly, Yang Yi's thoughts are increasingly attracted by the mystery of the Soul Stone. He writes down formulas one after another on paper, piecing together complete pictures in his mind. At this moment, the doorbell of the apartment rang, interrupting his meditation.

"Who is it?" Ruth rushed to the door and peeked through the peephole to see the visitor outside.

"I'm here." A familiar voice came, it was their friend Alicia.

"Alicia! Why are you here?" Sika asked excitedly, obviously not expecting the sudden visit of this good friend.

"I heard that you were shopping this morning, so I came to visit you." Alicia smiled slightly, with concern and tenderness in her eyes.

"Come in!" Ruth greeted Alicia warmly and welcomed her into the apartment. Alicia's arrival seemed to inject a warm atmosphere into this quiet space, making everything lively and cheerful.

"Yang Yi, are you working hard again today?" Alicia asked with concern.

"Yes, the power of the soul gem seems to be quite strange." Yang Yi smiled slightly. Although his face was busy, he felt a little relieved by the arrival of his good friend.

"I looked up some information about soul gems on the Internet. If you need it, I can lend it to you." Alicia said, taking out a few books from her bag and handing them to Yang Yi.

"Thank you! This is exactly what I need to help me with my research." Yang Yi held the book, gratitude in his eyes.

"We just bought some new clothes. Should we try them out in front of Yang Yi?" Ruth asked expectantly.

"Why not try it?" Alicia said with a curious look on her face.

"But I will continue my research." Yang Yi said briefly, indicating that he would return to the analysis of the gemstone.

In the next few hours, Alicia, Ruth and Sika chatted animatedly in the apartment, with laughter everywhere. Sometimes they even joked that Yang Yi should put down his work for a while and join in their fun.
