Chapter Thirty-Six: An Outrageous Demand

Unit 501 had prepared everything, and some components had been made in duplicate as a precaution. If they hurried to finish the missing parts, they should still be able to deliver another unit to them within the next two days!

If Comrade Jingzhu’s talents had not been needed elsewhere, assigning her to oversee production would have been a waste. Besides, she already had a new research objective. They could barely cobble together a production line on their own, though the cost would be considerably higher. Transporting the raw-material production line was simply too difficult. Being on the front line, they could not guarantee the highest level of secrecy and security.

As expected, with the two nearly simultaneous blasts, the image instantly turned a blazing red.

Ding Ru’s approach was undoubtedly to punish both sides equally. Yet after hearing what Ding Ru said, Xu Qian was clearly delighted and cast Chen Jun a triumphant glance.

A subordinate who could not ease his lord’s worries was already unfit for his position. At present, all Sun Guan could do was find a way to arrange what came next.

Because many younger players who had originally been unwilling to spend money on the game now had a chance to experience it.

After saying this, Ouyang Ming repeated to Ding Zhiyuan, word for word, everything he had told Chen Jun.

“Perhaps... perhaps they couldn’t wait for us and went out to find a solution?” the chieftain of the Wuba Tribe speculated.

Aside from the employees in Japan, who spoke Japanese more often, everything else was virtually identical to the headquarters in Hong Kong.

Lin Qi knew that they could not simply rely on this kind of short-term speculation. Film was, after all, an industry, and the development of any industry had to be secured through technological innovation and quality.

“Is that so?” Lei Ziming replied suspiciously. He was still somewhat worried—worried that Lear might become an idiot. If that happened, he would never figure out why Lear did not lose his hair. Nearly every superpowered individual he had hatched lost their hair, with the sole exception of Lear.

This time, disciples of the Profound Sword Sect were attacking from the front, and the fluctuations of their vital energy had been concealed extremely well. By the time Le He and the others discovered them, it was already too late to dodge. At the same time, the Golden Armored Corpse and the three others who had remained motionless—Lan’er among them—each unleashed their own abilities and charged toward their respective targets.

Celes wore such a solemn expression that Lin Wei was instantly reminded of one of his university professors from before he crossed into this world.

The First Team was responsible for the slightly more difficult source-energy mine, while the Second Team was assigned the somewhat simpler robot factory.

Redia pointed toward the hall. Several hundred meters away, Minotaur’s towering body had been bound up like a dumpling and hung upside down from the ceiling. It was completely motionless; apparently, it had passed out.

“General, a new Allied armored vehicle has broken in. It has already breached the ‘Tenfold Ambush’ zone.”

The bandit chief did not even look before swinging his hammer directly at the nearest “soldier.” With a crash, the skeleton clad in heavy armor and carrying a large shield was smashed to pieces.

The sudden collapse plunged the orderly ranks into chaos, with cries of alarm erupting one after another.

Heric stuck out his tongue and stuffed both Buke beetles into his mouth. After smacking his lips, he wore an expression of utter bliss.

The villagers who had stopped walking slowly gathered around Chen Yan, gradually forming a circle.

“I saw you walking out of Ran Feifu’s residence looking miserable, so I followed you here.” Zhang Dali sat down beside him.

When Big Yellow had been guarding the place, she still had to exercise caution. But now that only Fang Youcai was watching over the watermelon patch, what was there to fear?

“Yes, yes. I’ll be more careful next time,” the thin man answered repeatedly in response to the young man’s reprimand.

“What else has changed?” I asked uneasily. Vaguely, I actually felt that, for one brief moment, I had truly appeared inside an elevator in Shanghai. But I had no idea how I had gotten there. Could someone be deliberately trying to frame me?

She was just as bewildered by my words. In the end, we went together to the Grand Emperor Sect’s branch in Freedom City.
