His Digimon still hadn't evolved; he was currently perched on Frowner's head, watching the Villagers semi-automating their farming with pistons.
'Wait a minute... when did farmers start developing semi-automated agriculture?'
Watching the familiar terraced structure and the various crops swaying in the wind, a Villager wearing a straw hat walked to the edge of the semi-automatic farmland, closed the Lever, and the activated pistons retracted.
Clear water flowed down from above, following the terraced structure of the farmland all the way to the bottom, where all the ripe crops were collected by the water flow and automatically washed into the funnel on the lowest level.
Yang Tao: "..."
Are these Villagers evolving a bit too quickly?
"Unsmiley!"
Hearing Yang Tao's voice, a hint of confusion appeared in Frowner's sorrowful eyes.
'He's not calling me, is he?'
He turned his head and saw Yang Tao waving at him.
"..."
What the heck is Unsmiley? Call me Frowner!!
But he had learned from Yang Tao that even a Frowner under the eaves must bow his head, and he scampered to Yang Tao's front, staring at the Digimon.
"Did you call me?"
"Yes, I've decided to go to Level 6, and I don't know why, but I haven't encountered any Smilers recently, or if I have, they've all been male. I don't think you'd like males, would you?"
Frowner's expression became even more sorrowful as he said, "I'm only for reproduction; there's no 'like' or 'dislike.' We Frowners don't have such complex emotions as humans."
Yang Tao nodded, reached out, and picked the Digimon up from Frowner's head, saying, "Then let's go. I feel better with you. What if I encounter a female Smiler and can't tell the difference? That would be troublesome."
Frowner had no objections, or rather, he felt that his objections would be useless, and he obediently followed Yang Tao towards the wooden door.
"Wait for me."
Yang Tao first sent the Digimon to the Digimon world, where there were more Digimon, which was very suitable for him, who was about to reach the Champion level.
"Here, take this with you. If you get hurt during a battle, drink it. Also, I've left you some extra food and batteries. If you get bored, you can use the key to come back, got it?"
Yang Tao was like an old father, rambling on about various precautions to Digimon, who nodded in a childish voice and said:
"I know. I feel like I can evolve after a few more battles! I wonder if I can evolve into Patamon..."
Digimon knew that Yang Tao hoped he could evolve into Patamon, and his little heart began to feel pressure.
Hearing Digimon's words, Yang Tao reached out and stroked his soft head, saying, "You can evolve into anything; don't feel pressured. DemiDevimon is also pretty good."
Whether it was Vampiremon or Angemon, they both initially evolved from Yuramon, but some divergences occurred when Digimon entered the Champion stage.
"Mmm!"
Digimon responded and then walked towards Village of Beginnings, where there were many baby Digimon.
Seeing Digimon enter the 'kindergarten,' Yang Tao then turned and returned to the Overworld.
"Let's go to Level 11 first..."
Generally, to reach Level 6, the 'Lights Out' level, one needs to pass through the Boiler Room of Level 5, but his current situation was completely unsuitable for going to Level 5. He knew that if he appeared on Level 5, the Beast would find him immediately.
Now was not the time to flip the table with the Beast.
Frowner didn't ask why; he obediently followed Yang Tao through the double wooden doors and arrived at Level 11.
The scenery of Level 11 remained unchanged, with various buildings all around. Yang Tao raised his wrist and directly contacted Catherine, the M.E.G. investigator he had separated from just yesterday.
"I'm on Level 11, preparing to go to Level 6. I need some help now."
After sending the message, Yang Tao turned his gaze to Frowner beside him, looking at the floating sorrowful expression and saying, "Can I sit on you?"
He had learned his lesson; he would never casually say the word 'ride' again.
Frowner: "..."
"Yes!"
With that, Frowner's body subtly appeared, and Yang Tao gracefully jumped onto his back. His own weight was only about a hundred pounds, which was effortless for Frowner's strong body.
"Let's go. We'll go wherever you sense human gatherings."
"Okay."
Frowner responded and then headed in a determined direction, neither fast nor slow.
Fortunately, Yang Tao was not in a hurry; he raised his hand and checked the information on his terminal. Catherine had already replied.
"Okay, where are you on Level 11? Are there any extremely unique buildings nearby?"
"A building that looks like it's pieced together from several layers of buildings, exceptionally tall. Does that count?"
"Yes, wait for me under the building you mentioned. I'll be there right away."
"No need, just go directly to Level 6.1. I'll wait for you there."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the lobby of Level 6.1."
Putting away his terminal, Yang Tao pointed to a restaurant in the distance at the bottom of a tall building, a Western restaurant that looked completely normal.
The reason he needed Catherine was that he planned to go to Level 6.1, the 'Snack Room,' first, and reaching Level 11 was extremely simple.
One only needed to enter any restaurant on Level 11.
Level 6's sub-level, there is a door leading to the M.E.G. which is currently continuously monitoring this iron door, not allowing most people to pass through, only for exploration and research purposes.
Of course, this was just the normal method.
If Yang Tao wanted to force his way in, there would naturally be no problem, but then he would have to spend all his time dealing with the M.E.G.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the Western restaurant. Looking through the clean windows, he found no trace of anyone inside, but soft music and enticing food aromas emanated from within.
"Can you get through?"
Yang Tao glanced at the not-so-large entrance, feeling as if Frowner would get stuck in the doorway.
But Frowner directly said, "I can get through using my own method."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!"
Yang Tao nodded gently, reached out, took out a key, and handed it to Frowner, cautioning him, "If you don't follow me later, then go back first. The method is simple: just hold the key and think about opening the door."
Frowner looked at the key in Yang Tao's hand, thought for a moment, reached out his claw, took it, and threw it into his mouth. After all, you couldn't expect a Frowner to have pockets.
Seeing this, Yang Tao said nothing. As long as it worked, even if he stuffed it up his butt, it wouldn't be a problem.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the Western restaurant, Yang Tao walked straight in.
In an instant, several figures appeared in the empty Western restaurant. What was amazing was that among these figures, there were not only humans but also many Facelings, who seemed to be friendly and working together.
Hearing the movement at the door, one of the humans dressed as a waiter stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sir, what would you like?"
