"Son? What son?"

Ji Yongxing subconsciously asked back, where did a son come from for him, a young man who is not even eighteen years old?

As soon as he asked, he understood who Lin Qingliu was referring to——

It had indeed been a while since he had seen his creation... The artificial mentally retarded robot named [Sky Curtain] had been handed over to Lin Qingliu for management after the last removal surgery.

Obviously, Dr. Lin didn't know how to treat this guy who seemed to be useful but seemed unlikely to be useful, so he could only let him gather dust in the corner.

Taking Ji Yongxing through the long passage, Lin Qingliu returned to the space under his house.

After a period of expansion, this place has begun to take shape, but it seems empty because there are too few related equipment.

Lin Qingliu came to a somewhat strange room. Unlike the normal doors of other rooms, the door here was very thick and not a single light could shine in.

"9527! Your father is here to visit you!"

Lin Qingliu's tone was serious yet a little playful, as if he was really a warden leading family members to visit the prison.

Ji Yongxing felt his eyes go dark, as if he had not joined a salvation organization, but a comedy troupe roaming around the inner city.

A flash of green light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black darkness.

"Initializing...

"Standby mode released...

"Energy saving mode is off..."

After a while of gibberish, the lid of the suitcase opened automatically in the dark, and an expression made up of pixels appeared on the screen.

This pixelated face looked towards the door. Lin Qingliu pushed the door open and turned his body to give the C position to Ji Yongxing.

Seeing the familiar figure at the door, the pixel face instantly burst into tears, and drops of fluorescent green tears rolled down and disappeared at the bottom of the screen.

"Dad! Dad!"

An electric sound mixed with crying came from the speaker:

"I am innocent! I was bullied so badly!"

Ji Yongxing slapped his forehead, his palm slowly slid down, and the expression on his face became one of disappointment.

"I told you to stir up trouble everywhere. Now that you've made a mess, do you know you're wrong?"

Tianmu: ...Dad, are you serious?

Lin Qingliu: ...Dude, you get into the role really quickly!

Ji Yongxing walked into the room step by step, with a genuine expression on his face. He came to the [Sky Curtain] (in front of the camera), leaned down and looked directly at the lens he had changed himself:

"Is it fun?"

The pixelated faces suddenly huddled together, huddled in the corner of the screen like little animals baring their bellies to beg for forgiveness:

"Woof."

“Bang!”

Ji Yongxing closed the lid of the suitcase and began to think about what this guy and Lin Qingliu had learned...

"Stay still."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room. Knowing that Lin Qingliu had something to say to him, the researcher walked towards a chair.

"Buzz~"

A communicator in Lin Qingliu's hand vibrated. He raised his hand and saw the following words written on the screen:

"Failed, failed, failed..."

Don't play tricks in weird places...

Lin Qingliu twitched his lips and quickly replied:

"I told you it's useless to act pitiful, but you still don't believe me. I'm going to get busy now."

The two of them sat down in the basement, and Ji Yongxing, who had just come out of the inexplicable stage play, asked:

"What can I do for you?"

"Yes, there are some."

Lin Qingliu came to the corner of the room and pulled off the thick canvas in front of him, revealing a complete set of power armor.

The armor is a dull silver-white in color, with mottled scratches all over the surface, as if it had been thrown into a crusher, rolled around, and then fished out.

In sharp contrast is the helmet that is as bright and clean as new. Compared with the armor that has been through many battles, the helmet with only a corner missing can be said to be brand new.

Ji Yongxing was not unfamiliar with this set of armor. Sixty percent of it came from his original design, and the rest came from the institute's past abandoned projects.

He also knew exactly where this thing had gone. The superpower Wang Xiao had left it outside the city when he was trying to get out of trouble, and now it had appeared here...

This kind of thing cannot be faked at all, whether it is the material or the craftsmanship, or the microscopic discoveries after opening the museum path to enhance vision, all indicate that this is the one he assembled personally not long ago.

“That’s the first thing.”

Lin Qing revealed his mask of seeking credit:

"You should have seen Wang Xiao and know where it went. Our people got it back.

“We’ll need your help with the subsequent repairs and renovations, well, it’ll come in handy later.

"Of course, according to the rules of our organization, I will not take advantage of your hard work for free. As for the outside of the city, our [believers] have also obtained some new intelligence recently. I will update you right away."

Ji Yongxing had no doubts about the information provided by Lin Qingliu. He thought for a while and asked:

"Can I report the information I got from you?"

"Okay, just don't tell me where it came from. Or just say you dreamed about it?"

"...I'll think about the reason carefully."

Ji Yongxing did not respond to Lin Qingliu's joke, and began to think about how to report the information obtained from the "Believers" in the least suspicious way.

Otherwise I can just report anonymously...

The young researcher felt that he had to shoulder too much at such a young age - reporting anonymously, was this what a decent person like him should do?

Putting this question behind his mind, he asked again:

"There is indeed no problem with the maintenance, but the equipment..."

He spread out his hands, indicating that there was nothing here except a small machine tool, and it would be difficult for him to get things done.

Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice, let alone Ji Yongxing who does not even have a pot at this time. It is really difficult for him to cook "rice".

"Well, you don't have to worry about this. Today we will mainly synchronize information and the tasks ahead. As for the equipment and materials you need... make a list."

Ji Yongxing filled a whole sheet of paper with the minimum equipment and materials he needed.

Lin Qingliu took it, looked at it and said:

"Fortunately, the conditions are not too harsh, so I can get it."

Ji Yongxing was shocked:

“You can even get this?”

"able!"

Lin Qingliu answered confidently, and after taking another look, he gave Ji Yongxing another shot of adrenaline:

“And some of it is already on the way.”

“A-choo!”

On the edge of Hope City, more than ten kilometers away, two men, one tall and one short, were carrying a heavy safe forward.

The sudden sneeze caused the short man's hands to retract, and he immediately lost his strength, and the side he was holding loosened.

The impact of one side of the safe falling to the ground caused the man on the other side to suddenly lose his grip, and the corner of the safe on the other side instantly fell down on the back of his foot.

"Um!!!!!"

The man endured the pain and refused to cry out in pain, but only groaning sounds came from his nose.
