Li Weimin nodded and said, "Alright, spend some good time with your parents. You really haven’t been home for too long."

Wang Ye asked curiously, "What about you? You probably haven’t been home for a long time either, right?"

Li Weimin laughed and said, "Don’t be fooled by how busy I am at work. I call my wife and kids every night. On the other hand, you are out there and don’t contact your family. Even just letting them know you’re safe every couple of days would be nice."

"Indeed, I’ve been a bit neglectful." Wang Ye said, rubbing his nose.

Since his body hormones became self-regulating, his emotional aspect also diminished somewhat. A person who doesn’t need emotional support often finds it hard to remember their family.

It’s like when most people don’t feel hungry, they won’t think of eating, even if they see delicious food, it won’t spark an appetite.

But this doesn’t mean Wang Ye can completely forget or even abandon his family,

It’s important to know that family is not just a tool for providing emotional value to someone; more often, they are the true proof of someone’s existence in this world.

In the realm of philosophy, it’s common to define a person as the sum of social relationships. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Even if Wang Ye evolves in the future to become a Divine Being surpassing all creatures, he would still need family, friends, and even enemies; the existence of social relationships is vital. Otherwise, he would just be an abstract entity.

That’s why even though Wang Ye doesn’t have emotional needs now, he must visit his parents.

After Li Weimin left, Wang Ye spent ten minutes buying a high-speed rail ticket.

Then started searching online for plasma cutting machines and welding machines.

Now that he’s back in the country, he doesn’t have the conditions for Body Refining with concentrated sulfuric acid,

Therefore, he needs to quickly find a substitute tool for concentrated sulfuric acid Body Refining.

And the plasma cutting machine was his pre-planned best option. This thing is almost the most powerful industrial product legally available for purchase. The torch can release high-temperature plasma that heats the air to thirty thousand degrees, even steel can melt instantly. Although Wang Ye’s Defense Power is strong now, it might still be inferior to steel in some aspects. If used properly, it’s absolutely a more efficient Body Refining method than concentrated sulfuric acid.

But the problem is that most plasma cutting machines cause damage to specific spots,

and can’t damage the whole or large areas.

To cause significant damage to the entire body, he might have to create a plasma cannon from science fiction novels, or use a plasma thruster for full-body spraying.

However, for the time being, this issue is not too pressing. Given Wang Ye’s current capabilities, he doesn’t need comprehensive use of high-temperature plasma for Body Tempering; he can even predict when his Defense Power encounters the plasma cutter’s instant, flesh will be sliced open, and even the bones will melt through. If such damage spreads to the whole body, even his recovery ability might not withstand it.

So Wang Ye plans to first buy a few plasma cutting machines used on construction sites to test the waters. Once his Defense Power is sufficiently weaker against large areas of high-temperature plasma, only then it’s appropriate to consider the next steps.

Wang Ye browsed the shopping platform for over ten minutes and then ordered three plasma cutting machines, with the delivery location set to his old home.

Each machine costs one thousand yuan, which is not expensive. Even together, the cost doesn’t exceed what he spent on one concentrated sulfuric acid bath.

After ordering the plasma cutting machines, Wang Ye put on a coat and left the dormitory.

November in Fujian is a bit cooler, it’s already autumn and winter. Although Wang Ye is no longer afraid of the cold, to avoid attracting attention, he still wears a black coat when going out and sometimes puts on a mask, otherwise he encounters fans wanting a photo with him, or paparazzi tailing him. It makes him feel like he’s become a star influencer.

Wang Ye followed the navigation and headed straight to a nearby beach,

About half an hour later, he arrived at a deserted beach.

The place was almost deserted, with only a few cars occasionally passing by on the road, which was exactly what Wang Ye wanted.

He indeed wanted to find a relatively uncrowded beach to swim, after all, Fujian is considered a coastal city where you can see many beaches. When returning to his old home, the conditions might not be favorable for swimming.

Wang Ye reached the seaside, took off his clothes, and swam for a while. As he dived into the sea, gills emerged from his neck, filtering seawater and breaking down oxygen.

He adopted a diving posture, moving like a Mermaid, swiftly through the sea, covering a few hundred meters within moments.

His tremendous strength allowed him to move through the water with almost no resistance, as if operating in the air. Thus Wang Ye could freely apply an extremely high stroke frequency to generate significant thrust, propelling his body rapidly in the water.

His speed was many times faster than most marine fish around him.

Most marine fish swim speeds of only thirty to forty kilometers per hour, which is just like the speed of a bicycle.

However, Wang Ye’s speed had already reached one hundred kilometers per hour, rivaling the speed of the fastest swimming fish in the ocean—the Marlin.

At such speed, a large amount of seawater ahead of Wang Ye compressed frantically, forming a conical shape, akin to the faint sonic boom appearing ahead when a fighter jet flies fast in the air.

Wang Ye maintained this speed, swimming in circles in the seawater. His muscles kept a high output power and released heat. Although it didn’t turn the entire ocean into boiling water, it was enough to raise the temperature of the liquid around his body, creating bubbles.
