Yan Bubu had no idea that he had just been on the brink of life and death. He just nodded as if he understood, and followed Feng Chen in.

"Let's go to the top floor now. There is an instrument there that can adjust the biochip—" Feng Chen suddenly stopped talking, stopped, and looked ahead in shock.

Yan Bubu followed his gaze and saw that they were in a spacious hall, surrounded by instruments, but in the center of the hall there stood a thick tree.

The reason why it is called a section rather than a tree is that the upper end of the trunk penetrates the ceiling and the lower end also penetrates the floor, and only a section of the trunk can be seen on this floor.

The dense branches and leaves of the tree extended in all directions, covering half of the hall. The trunk was straight and strong, and was thick enough for several people to hug.

"Ah, we can plant trees in the house." Yan Bubu felt a little novel.

Feng Chen ordered: "Stand still, I'll go take a look."

Yan Bubu stood there without moving, just watching Feng Chen slowly approach the big tree.

The leaves of this tree are like ginkgo, but it bears fruits as big as eggs. They are dark in color, have a rough surface and have very tiny bumps.

Feng Chen looked around the tree carefully and found a lot of scattered rubble around the trunk. This tree must have grown from the bottom floor and had pierced through the entire building.

"Master, the fruit on your head is moving." Yan Bubu suddenly spoke.

Feng Chen looked up and saw a fruit above his head, swaying gently among the green leaves, the skin rising and falling as if something inside was trying to break free.

Yan Bubu picked up a stone from the ground and said, "Master, please step back. I will knock this fruit away. It looks weird."

"Don't move." Feng Chen stopped him.

Yan Bubu asked: "Don't you think that fruit looks annoying?"

"Then don't look at it."

Feng Chen thought the tree was very strange, but their purpose was to modify the biochip, so there was no need to create unnecessary trouble. They could just modify the chip and leave.

Although Yan Bubu really wanted to smash the fruit, he put down the stone and followed Feng Chen to the elevator by the wall.

The staircases above the fifth floor were blocked, and there was only an elevator. After the two entered the elevator, Feng Chen pressed the number key for the tenth floor.

The tenth floor was soon reached. The elevator door slowly opened, and what appeared in front of them was still a hall. Various instruments were placed around it, and in the middle was the big tree that penetrated the floor.

This layer is the crown part, with denser branches and leaves, and densely packed with dark fruits in the middle. But unlike the lower layer, in addition to these small fruits, there are also some large white fruits hanging on the branches, each of which is larger than a winter melon and hangs heavily on the branches.

Feng Chen led Yan Bubu to avoid the big tree, and after walking around the hall for a while, he finally found the instrument used to modify the biochip.

He looked at the silent instrument, wondering if any parts inside were damaged or if it could still be started. He was afraid to reach out and press the power button.

Feng Chen took a deep breath and asked Yan Bubu: "Is your magic strong?"

Yan Bubu said seriously: "Very strong."

"Did you learn this from Binunu on TV?"

Yan Bubu considered and said, "Not entirely."
