Shi Xinyue suddenly laughed out loud. Li xiaonian didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he let out a sigh of relief.
After a while, Shi Xinyue calmed down. She stared at li xiaonian and said slowly, ” “The he family is a malignant tumor in Freedom City, and the district Lord and I have been wanting to get rid of this tumor all this time, but this matter is very important. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but the chip is related to the manufacturing of the spaceship, and it will affect the life and death of the entire Freedom City. Thus ... We need to see the A.I. Chip first and confirm that there are enough of them. Only then can the zone leader and I initiate the ‘elimination’ plan. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong during the entire process, none of us will be able to handle it. ”
The meaning of his words was very simple. He had to see the chip first, or else there was no room for discussion.
“I understand.” Li xiaonian nodded. I need samples of finished chips. Give me two copies of each chip. Also, I need the raw materials to make the chips. In three months at most, I’ll definitely send you a large number of chips.
As long as there were enough raw materials, li xiaonian could start production immediately. However, in order to hide the existence of the Arsenal, he had to stall for time. Otherwise, the efficiency would be too high, and everyone would know that he had a big secret.
Without waiting for Shi Xinyue to reply, li xiaonian continued, ” but before that, I need you to save my younger brother and sister. Their situation is not very optimistic.
Then, li xiaonian showed Shi Xinyue the video that luge had left behind.
Shi Xinyue’s face darkened when she saw the terrible state of Lu Qianhui and Li zhedong in the video. After a long time, Shi Xinyue sighed and returned the phone to li xiaonian, ” I’ll send your sister and brother back tomorrow at most.
The he family only wanted to gain some benefits by holding people as hostages. Since they wanted it, it didn’t matter if they gave it to them. As long as li xiaonian could bring back a large number of chips safely, the he family would get back double what they had taken away. All the assets of the he family would belong to Freedom City.
Li xiaonian shook his head. it’s fine if they’re sent back. We’ll be good people to the end and help me settle them down. We can’t let them court death. After a short pause, li xiaonian added, ” help me tell my brother and sister that as long as I’m alive, they can return to normal life.
Not meeting his younger brother and sister was also a form of forbearance. He was afraid that if he saw the tragic state of his younger brother and sister up close, he would not be able to control himself and go berserk.
Shi Xinyue was surprised, but she still nodded. “You’re very mysterious. I’ll tell your younger brother and sister the truth. How many raw materials do you need?”
“10 tons.” Li xiaonian replied.
Ten tons of materials were enough to produce nine tons of chips. Only li xiaonian had the confidence to do the calculations for chips. Of course, he wouldn’t be so stupid as to use all of it to produce chips.
The chips were valuable, but once they were overused, they would lose their value. He only needed to produce enough chips, and the rest of the materials could be kept as backup.
sure, but you’ll have to come with me. 10 tons isn’t a small amount, and it’s not convenient to transport them, especially if we keep it a secret from the he family.
“Alright,” he said.
......
In an underground refinery 30 kilometers away from Freedom City.
A rusty, very old equipment was running with a creak. The refinery needed to calcine the ore, and it was in the basement, so it was difficult to release the heat. Therefore, the temperature here was very high.
“Invigilator,”
“Invigilator,”
“Invigilator,”
......
The workers were shirtless and sweating profusely. All of them were evolvers and could withstand the high temperature.
When the workers saw Shi Xinyue, they all greeted her with respect. As for li xiaonian, he was ignored by them. In their eyes, li xiaonian might be a new worker, and they would have plenty of time to greet him in the future.
The temperature underground was very high, but li xiaonian’s body was fused with the [ Silver Frost battle suit ], which could effectively block the high temperature. He looked as if he was not affected by the temperature at all.
Shi Xinyue nodded indifferently at the worker’s greeting.
After traveling through the underground factory for a few minutes, Shi Xinyue brought li xiaonian to an independent cooling chamber. In this place, other than water, there were also ice blocks used to cool the ores. That’s right, ice blocks.
The ice wasn’t created by machines. Instead, the two ice-type evolvers had to continuously release their power to lower the surrounding temperature and freeze it.
“Invigilator,” The woman with thick eyebrows greeted Shi Xinyue respectfully.
“En, you’ve worked hard.”
“It’s not hard, it’s hard.” Guan yuchu looked a little tired, but Shi Xinyue’s ‘thank you’ immediately brought her back to life.
“Is he long here?” Shi Xinyue asked.
“Yes, you’re looking for him?” f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
Shi Xinyue shook her head. I’ll give you a task. Send that guy away. I need to get something.
“This ... Alright.” Guan yuchu looked helpless.
Immediately, Guan yuchu put down her work and pressed the walkie-talkie’s beeping button.”I’m hungry.”
He long, who was guarding the warehouse, suddenly heard Guan yuchu’s voice. For a moment, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears and could not help but reply, ” “Yuchu, I think I heard your voice.”
“I’m hungry. I want to eat tiger bone soup.” Guan yuchu said again.
After making sure that his ears were fine, he long was overjoyed. “Okay, okay, okay, I’ll get it done for you right away. Wait a moment, I’ll get it done for you right away.”
He had been pursuing Guan yuchu for a whole year, but he had not succeeded. He had thought about using the pressure from his family to force Guan yuchu to marry him. However, Guan yuchu was the supervisor. Although her family was powerful, they would never go against the supervisor for his marriage.
Whoosh ~
He long left his post without a word and headed to the kitchen of the underground factory.
After making sure that he long wasn’t at his post, Shi Xinyue turned her head and signaled li xiaonian to follow her.
After passing through layers of security, the two of them finally arrived at an underground warehouse. In this place, all kinds of spare parts, all kinds of refined ores, and even some sophisticated instruments were all stored here.
When the inspector appeared, dan Dong immediately stood up,””Invigilator,”
“Yeah.” yes. Shi Xinyue nodded and said calmly,”I brought him here to collect some materials. They won’t be recorded in the bill.
“......”
Dan Dong was stunned for a moment, then he clutched his stomach: ah, my stomach suddenly hurts. I might be sick. No, I have to go to the bathroom.
Dandong turned around and left without any hesitation.
Shi Xinyue looked at the time. you have 15 minutes. How much you can get depends on your ability.
“......”
Li xiaonian was overjoyed.
Without waiting for Shi Xinyue to say anything, li xiaonian rushed to the warehouse as fast as he could, especially the raw materials area. With a wave of his hand, a large amount of single-crystal silicon, copper oxide, pure copper, pig iron, and even some medicinal materials were sent into the Arsenal.
Li xiaonian didn’t hold back at all when he saw that the materials were useful.
Shi Xinyue stood at the door of the warehouse, quietly observing li xiaonian. When she saw li xiaonian put a large amount of raw materials into the special space, she raised her eyebrows and her face darkened.
Previously, it was said that it only had one cubic meter of space! But now, just the materials that had disappeared had already exceeded 30 cubic meters.
After being tricked by li xiaonian, his inner breath was a little stifled, but he was more excited. The more space li xiaonian had, the more convenient it would be for him to build a cosmic warship.
It must be known that every time a finished product was sent to the space station, the amount of money and material resources spent was definitely an astronomical figure.
With the existence of a BUG like li xiaonian, every time he went to the space station, he just needed to get this guy up there.
It could be said that as long as li xiaonian didn’t die, the speed at which the cosmic warship was built could be increased by at least twenty times, or even more.
Just as Shi Xinyue was secretly calculating how much value li xiaonian could create for freedom City, she suddenly saw li xiaonian appear in the energy storage area from the corner of her eye. He reached out his hand, and a large amount of dark matter energy needed by the space Battleship disappeared without a trace.
“Stop!”
Shi Xinyue couldn’t stay calm anymore. She appeared in front of li xiaonian and stopped him with an ugly expression. all of these energy sources have been calculated. We can’t take too much. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it.
Li xiaonian had a helpless expression on his face. inspector, although I can get a large number of chips, I’ll have to pay a sufficient price. Without enough energy as currency, it’ll be even more difficult to get the chips.
Shi Xinyue’s face turned gloomy as soon as li xiaonian said that. She gritted her teeth and said,”I’m a spirit Evolver.”
“......”
Li xiaonian’s embarrassed expression disappeared in a flash.
For evolvers of the mind, lies were useless. Because he was too excited, he almost forgot this important piece of information. Since he couldn’t lie, li xiaonian continued shamelessly, ” give me enough energy. It’ll be more useful and efficient than you guys using it to build a space warship.
With enough energy, he could complete the missions issued by the Arsenal. As long as he completed the missions continuously, the benefits he would receive would definitely be incomparable to a space warship. He might even be able to unlock more advanced factory equipment.
Therefore, li xiaonian’s words weren’t exaggerated at all. They were true and effective.
At this moment ...
Little Bear: ” the host has completed the second mission [ collect 100 units of energy storage ]. The reward is [ body strengthening potion ]. This item is located in the Arsenal’s storage room, Grid 3. The host can go and get it.
Little Bear said, ” mission three issued. Collect 10000 units of energy again. Mission reward: [ liquid silver armor ].”
“Mission time limit: 10 days. [ Note: If you fail to complete the mission after the time limit, you will fail the mission. Mission failures will accumulate to three times. It is determined that the host is not a suitable owner of the Arsenal. The Arsenal will leave on its own and look for another fated person. ]
[ liquid silver armor ]: an energy tool. The liquid silver armor’s energy will not be exhausted, and the host will never die. Even if there is only one fragment of liquid silver, the host can still be resurrected.
When he heard the notification, the energy collection mission rose from 100 units to 10000 units. Li xiaonian was about to curse, but when he saw the reward [ liquid silver armor ], his breathing became heavy.
The thing he was most afraid of now was death.
But now, as long as he completed the mission, he would be able to obtain the [liquid silver armor], which was immortal. Such a heaven-defying piece of equipment was simply a cheat.
Looking at the introduction of the [liquid silver armor], the first thing that came to li xiaonian’s mind was the liquid robot in the Terminator movie. Only molten lava could kill it. In fact, in the ending of the movie, the liquid robot didn’t seem to have really died.
......
Shi Xinyue looked at li xiaonian quietly, but her heart softened in the end. forget it. You can only take a portion of the energy reserve. If you need more, I’ll ask the zone master to store it for you.
If what li xiaonian said was true and energy was more useful to him, then the entire Freedom City would provide him with an endless supply of energy. What harm was there in that?
Li xiaonian came back to his senses and looked at the pile of energy in front of him with a burning gaze. He made a rough estimation and made up his mind. I need more energy. This amount of energy is not enough to satisfy my needs.
10000 units of energy was equivalent to 10 million contribution points. The pile of energy in front of him was not a small amount, but it was still not enough to meet li xiaonian’s needs.
Li xiaonian’s response made Shi Xinyue angry. “Do you think I’m easy to talk to, so you’re insatiable?”
Li xiaonian shook his head. you’re mistaken. I need a huge amount of energy to save my life. I need 10 million contribution points of energy. As long as I have enough, I’ll be able to protect myself against the he family’s counterattack.” In order to increase his bargaining chips, li xiaonian took out the blood Tiger Pistol and handed it to Shi Xinyue. “Within 10 days, as long as you can meet my energy needs, I can provide a large number of these pistols in exchange. For example, the entire city defense Army will have one. Now, I still have a few thousand of these pistols on me, and I can trade them at any time. If there’s not enough, give me some time and I’ll gather them for you.”
With sufficient materials, it would be too easy to produce the blood Tiger Pistol.
Shi Xinyue’s expression was uncertain.
As the Superintendent, she knew that the blood Tiger gun was li xiaonian’s. It was as powerful as a laser gun. If everyone in the Army was equipped with one, the law enforcers in the sea of trash would have to think twice before attacking Freedom City.
Looking at Shi Xinyue, who was in a dilemma, li xiaonian couldn’t help but urge her, ” it seems like we only have 15 minutes. If you don’t make a decision soon, that bootlicker he long of the he family might return.
Shi Xinyue took a deep breath and closed her eyes. forget it. You can take everything. The zone master and I will find a way to get you the remaining.
With Shi Xinyue’s permission, li xiaonian started to transport the dark matter energy.
The mountain of energy was emptied by li xiaonian in the blink of an eye.
Shi Xinyue looked at the empty area and made up her mind. hurry up. You can take as many materials as you can in your space.
She couldn’t explain to li xiaonian that the energy reserves had disappeared, so she couldn’t do anything about it. She might as well let li xiaonian carry enough in one go.
“Alright,” he said.
Li xiaonian was in a great mood. After emptying the dark matter energy, he returned to the original material area, where all kinds of original materials were kept in the Arsenal.
With the materials right in front of him, li xiaonian didn’t care about hiding anymore. He took the hundreds of tons of materials into his bag without hesitation.
Shi Xinyue seemed to have sensed something. Her figure flashed and she appeared at the door.
At this time, he long had just delivered lunch to Guan yuchu. However, the process was very unpleasant. The food that he had worked so hard to make was actually despised by Guan yuchu. She did not even take a bite. This made him feel as if he had been deceived. He wanted to go berserk, but it seemed that he could not defeat Guan yuchu.
bah, b * tch, don’t let me find an opportunity. Otherwise, I’ll definitely crush you on the ground and let you have a taste of my power.
He long cursed loudly.
Shi Xinyue appeared behind him silently. She slapped he long with one hand and he fainted.
After checking the time, dan Dong returned from the bathroom with his mouth half open. He didn’t know how to respond.
send this guy to prison secretly, ” Shi Xinyue said calmly. as long as he’s alive, you can do whatever you want to him.
Dan Dong’s eyes widened as he said nervously,”Boss, are we going to make a move on the he family?”
