Chapter 233

In the highest conference room of the Third Star Region Border Army, a large virtual screen was erected in the center, with independent portrait communications suspended. The border army leaders from all over the Star Alliance gathered together to hold a joint meeting on the Slared incident.

For nearly a week, the Third Star Region Border Army's endurance ships have been sailing around Slared. The explosion of heavy weapons has had a lasting impact on Slared. The planet is on the verge of disintegration, and a large amount of energy is leaking... In such an environment, the investigation into whether Kronos is dead is progressing slowly.

Wei Changyang stood in the meeting room of the Border Army and gave a periodic report on the investigation intelligence over the past week.

After the report, the expressions of the participants from the border armies of several major star regions were very serious.

"You mean to say that it is impossible to confirm that Kronos is dead?"

"There is no way in a short time." Wei Changyang continued: "The Third Star Region is now collecting the remaining fragments of the main star of Slared in the universe. We need to analyze and compare the energy reaction of Kronos in our previous records with the remains of Slared today. This process is relatively long, and we cannot give a definite answer in a short time."

Super S-level pollutants are difficult to destroy, but if such pollutants die and disintegrate, then the corresponding energy reaction should be able to be compared in the explosion residue, and the strength of the energy reaction can be used to analyze whether Kronos is dead.

The border army has captured Kronos many times, and such investigations have been conducted many times, but the extent of the on-site damage this time was beyond expectations, and it would take more time to confirm... The most difficult point is that most of the data they have is from before Kronos evolved into Super S-level. This time, Slared lasted too short a time, and the energy data they could obtain was limited, making the investigation much more difficult than before.

"We will continue the investigation on the premise that Kronos is not dead. As long as we have not confirmed that its energy reaction has completely disappeared, we will continue to investigate the area around Slarede." Wei Changyang continued, "So we apply to close the Slarede defense line. Before the results of the investigation are out, the Slarede Chaos Zone will never be opened."

The meeting lasted

One day, it ended with the Covenant incorporating the Slared Chaos Belt into the Third Star Region Border Army management area.

When Wei Changyang came out of the conference room, he met the head of the Third Star Domain Army. The two men greeted each other and went to the office.

The person in charge said: "I heard that you took the initiative to take responsibility for the two young men who broke into the energy warehouse."

"They are not responsible. Without them, the heavy weapons would not have been delivered to such a deep position." Wei Changyang sat on the sofa and smelled a familiar fragrance when he picked up the tea. "You still like this tea."

"But this temporary change of plan caused the Border Army's original heavy weapon special energy liquid dosage to be unbalanced, and Slarede was blown into this mess." The person in charge said, "You took all the responsibility for the Third Star Region. I have to thank you for this. Even if you didn't say anything, we and Lin Yi would have finished off that brat named You. Why bother?"

Wei Changyang didn't say anything, his eyes slightly fell on the table in front of him, where there was an old-fashioned photo frame, and in the frame was a large group photo.

In the middle of the group photo was a heroic woman in combat uniform, surrounded by the soldiers she led. It was a group photo taken after a special force assembly camp of the Third Star Domain.

Wei Changyang was also her soldier.

You Yuying, former special forces captain, later freelance mercenary, died in the border joint military exercise to clear out Kronos 11 years ago. He is the only person in the history of the Third Star Domain Border Army who was not a border soldier but was posthumously awarded the title of lieutenant general. She is a person who loves freedom and is casual. When she was young, she loved the border and became a border soldier. In her thirties, she loved freedom and retired to travel around various star regions, immersing herself in solving various pollutants.

Eleven years ago, she happened to accompany Lin Yi to participate in the joint military exercise and returned to the Third Star Region, where she joined the Kronos cleanup operation.

Without her help, the losses in that operation would have been even more severe. The Third Star Region owes You Yuying a favor that it will never be able to repay in this lifetime.

Seeing Wei Changyang looking at the group photo, the person in charge was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, “Don’t tell me, You Su’s ability to cause trouble is indeed similar to hers.”

"Didn't you help him solve the problem of him breaking into the border and encountering Kronos three years ago?" Wei Changyang also laughed and looked away: "We are similar. Besides, this time, he saved my life, so I should take the responsibility."

"I was surprised that he would actually participate in the Mecha League team battle. With his thorny personality, even Lin Yi couldn't control him, but the KID Mecha Base could actually control him. I found out that the KID base is amazing after checking." The person in charge became interested when talking about KID. "Do you remember when we participated in the military exercise, didn't we always lose to Lin Yi and his team? You still remember Ying Lingfeng? KID has Ying Lingfeng's son, the maintenance engineer who modified the energy warehouse in the end, Ying Chenlin."

Wei Changyang was slightly stunned and remembered the young man named Ying.

I see.

The two chatted for a while. The head of the general army originally wanted to keep Wei Changyang to talk more, but the latter left on the grounds that he was busy with work.

After Wei Changyang left the Third Star Region Border Army, he set off back to the Star Alliance headquarters. He had to visit the headquarters research institute.

During the voyage, a lot of reports were submitted, and the adjutant's reports continued.

"The starships of the various mecha bases of the Star Alliance have already returned, and the energy conversion crystals have fallen into the hands of the Dawn Galaxy. We will have to go to the Dawn Galaxy to negotiate the issue of borrowing energy crystals. This will be of great help to our research on Chronos."

The adjutant said: "The relevant itinerary has been arranged and will be arranged by the First Star Region."

"Thank you for your hard work." After reading the information, Wei Changyang tiredly closed the lengthy report, thinking of the previous chat with his old friends at the headquarters. He clicked on the Star Network and searched for the KID Mecha Base. The related introduction interface that popped up was not about the base, but a large online store.

He was slightly startled, thinking he had searched the wrong thing, but when he clicked on it, he suddenly discovered that this online store was opened by the KID base.

The adjutant continued, "Slared was destroyed so thoroughly that it has a great impact on our subsequent research."

During this time, the institute has been analyzing the energy reports sent to the headquarters, trying to find data reports that are in close contact with Kronos. Slared was so badly destroyed that few useful remains remained, and the original samples were pieced together.

Wei Changyang paused slightly and saw something in the online store.

"We only found some original minerals from the remnants in space, but these samples have been contaminated by heavy weapons..." The adjutant was talking when he suddenly realized that his superior seemed to be distracted, so he had to ask tentatively: "Sir?"

Wei Changyang took a deep breath and said, "You said there are no samples from the original place?"

He handed the optical computer to his adjutant.

The adjutant looked puzzled. As soon as he took the data pad, he saw the words "Slared - Pre-sale of the Out-of-Print Snow Wolf Power Crystal" written on it! ','Slared - the finest snow fox fur! '…The entire homepage is filled with Slared-related pollutant materials, ores, plants, etc.

The adjutant's expression became increasingly ugly, and he continued, "Don't worry, we will contact the Star Network Administration to confiscate these unscrupulous merchants who are sensationalizing and using Slarred as a blood-sucking gimmick on the Star Network."

Wei Changyang: "This store is opened by KID."

The adjutant's face froze.

At this time, the external communication came in, and the researchers from the Star Alliance Research Institute said excitedly: "Sir, we have contacted some powerful mecha bases. We mentioned the problem of original samples before. We found that some bases actually retain the mineral materials under the Slared Forest!"

When it comes to ore, Wei Changyang suddenly thought of something. He entered "volcanic rock" in the search bar of the KID online store, and then saw the latest pre-sale interface pop up -

'Slarede's specialty volcanic stone! Different volcanic rocks! Don’t miss it if you pass by! '

Excited researcher: "Sir? Do we need to negotiate with the mecha base?"

Wei Changyang: “…”

adjutant:"……"

Wei Changyang: "Elder."

The adjutant said solemnly, accepting the task: "Don't worry, I will mobilize personnel to immediately grab all the materials about Slared from the KID online store."

-*

The starship from the Dawn Galaxy sailed in space for six days before reaching Sirius. When it landed at Sirius, the administrator of Sirius was already ready to welcome it. However, as soon as the big starship docked at the airport, before the administrator even walked to the front, he saw the robots in charge of unloading cargo at the airport walking towards the starship cargo hold berthing platform one by one.

KID's boss Shen Xingtang stood at the dock, watching the robots unload the goods piece by piece and transfer them to the large mobile cabin truck that KID had contacted in advance. He signed the order very neatly with Director Liu of the Shuguang Galaxy Resources Management Bureau, "Then how about this? We will give the goods to the Shuguang Research Institute first, and you can pay us the remaining balance within seven working days?"

"Of course." Director Liu smiled, but his heart was bleeding: "We will settle it with you as soon as possible."

The original order was for a partial list of materials, but who knew KID would collect so much in this one search? When Director Liu sent KID's list of materials to the research institute, the group of money-hungry researchers at the institute wanted all the materials.

Nonsense, you can still get a discount price now, but when the KID online store releases new products, you won’t be able to grab them by then, and even if you can, it will be at a high price.

Seeing that the purchase orders were 60% more than the pre-orders, Director Liu had no choice but to grit his teeth and order the goods. As the temporary working capital was insufficient, he had to write a debt to KID.

Shen Xingtang signed a big deal with satisfaction, took his mecha technicians on the reserved large hovercraft, and left in a grand manner.

Seeing the group of robbers who had looted other polluted areas walk away, the leaders of Shuguang watched them leave with mixed feelings.

They didn't expect that one day they would have to sign an IOU with KID when they couldn't afford to buy something.

Li Jingyan said: "Young people are really surprising."

Director Liu had a blank expression on his face. He had never expected that one day he would have to rely on Chairman Li's face to buy goods on credit. "Don't worry, we will pay you back as soon as possible."

Li Jingyan went to the side to talk with the Sirius administrator.

Several leaders patted Director Liu on the shoulder and said seriously:

"Old Liu, they are going to the Star Region Competition. There are a lot of materials there."

"You should work harder, otherwise it will be bad if you can't pay the deposit next time you book with them."

Director Liu, do you understand?

He understood, and he was about to ask the leaders of the First Star Region for money.

When KID and his group returned to the base, they deposited their spoils in the warehouse of Mr. Jianheng Zhou, the boss, in a storage truck loaded with a large amount of cargo and materials. After a while, when KID moved to the new base, he would take all the goods over there.

When we arrived at the base, we encountered another incident: there was a huge package spanning several star regions that required KID-sink to sign for it.

As Ying Chenlin arrived at the gate of the base with his suitcase, he was stopped by the security captain of Jianheng Company. $

"Is there my Star Express?" Ying Chenlin was stunned.

The security captain said, "Yes, it has been here for several days and specifically asked you to sign for it."

Ji Qingfeng asked: "Did you buy anything?"

"No..." Ying Chenlin seldom shopped online. He asked Shen Xingtang for help to buy the materials he wanted. He didn't remember buying anything online.

You Su’s brows twitched.

The things were kept at Jianheng Company. KID and his group were stunned when they saw the huge package. When Ying Chenlin signed the order from the delivery robot, he saw that the sender was anonymous and had no idea what was inside.

The package was so big that it couldn’t even squeeze through the gate of KID’s base, so it had to be put in a storage device and brought in.

As soon as they entered the maintenance room and put the things in the package out, three bright mecha storage compartments appeared in front of them. The storage compartments were full of materials from the Slared contaminated area, and there were even some S-level materials and energy crystals that they had never seen before.

"Oh my god, what the hell are these!?" Ji Qingfeng paused: "Windfall?!"

Ying Chenlin then remembered something, "…EM sent it to me. It's the protection fee I collected."

Jiang Simiao: "EM, is it the EM I know? You asked them for protection money???"

"They gave us one more of the two storage warehouses I mentioned." Ying Chenlin nodded, "These are what we deserve. Take the ones that can be used and sell the ones that can't be used."

Suddenly there was an extra batch of goods, and Jiang Simiao and Gu Xiaotian had to be busy again.

After looking at the things, the other mecha masters went back to their rooms to rest.

Ying Chenlin took a look at the materials and was about to take the suitcase back to the room and then come back to the maintenance room when he turned around and bumped into You Su behind him. He met his eyes, but before he could say anything, the man in front of him spoke first.

"Where are we going?" You Su asked.

Ying Chenlin stepped back and stood, "Put down your luggage."

You Su's eyes fell on Ying Chenlin and he reached out to take his luggage. "Give it to me."

Ying Chenlin loosened his grip, and the things were successfully taken over by You Su. "Thank you, Brother You."

When Shen Xingtang came out of the warehouse, she saw Ying Chenlin standing at the door of the maintenance room, his eyes seemed to be fixed outside. She raised her voice and asked, "Chenlin, didn't you say you were going to put your luggage away?"

The things were taken away by You Su.

Ying Chenlin came back to his senses and walked down to the maintenance room. "I won't go back yet. I'm going to check on the weapons. Grandpa Gu said there has been new progress in the past few days..."

When he walked a few steps outside, Shen Xingtang reached out to stop Ying Chenlin, "You're heading straight to the maintenance room right after you got back?"

"The Star Domain Tournament won't be held for a month, but maybe they'll be notified next month. Time is still very tight, and some things need to be prepared in advance." Ying Chenlin knew that he couldn't completely relax now. The new weapons must catch up with the progress. There was no need to worry about repairing the mecha because Shuguang would take care of it, but assembling weapons took time... Not only that, there was also the matter of replacing the S-level materials of the mecha. There was no time to relax at all.

Shen Xingtang did not let go and handed over a

The data tablet was handed to Ying Chenlin, "Plenty of time."

Ying Chenlin was stunned when he saw the resume information on the data board. "What are these?"

"The maintenance team I'm going to assemble for you has been recruiting for a while. I contacted some experienced maintenance technicians and apprentices through friends in the industry." Shen Xingtang said as he introduced them, "I've checked their personalities, and Grandpa Gu helped with the technical interviews. Now I'm letting you choose. Take a look at the ones that suit your taste. Once they're confirmed, they'll join us to help after we move to the new base in a few days."

Ying Chenlin quickly flipped through the resumes on the data board and unexpectedly saw a few familiar faces. He asked blankly, "Do we have enough money?"

"Enough, you don't have to worry about money. Our base is rich now, and you will be assigned the assistants you deserve." Shen Xingtang rubbed the boy's head, "Chen Lin, thank you. Without your help, Kid would not have gotten through the difficulties so easily."

"I didn't do anything. They helped me a lot." Ying Chenlin stared at the data board intently. "Then I'll filter it out right away and give it to you later."

"What's the hurry?" Shen Xingtang took away Ying Chenlin's data board and said with a smile: "Now, go back and take a shower, then change into casual clothes and go out with them."

Ying Chenlin asked, "Are you busy with other things?"

"Not busy." Shen Xingtang couldn't do anything about the young man who only cared about work. "I went shopping with them. We're moving to the new base soon. Don't you need to buy some things for your room? Are you really going to use your room as a place to sleep and not care about anything else?"

Ying Chenlin had nothing else to buy: "I..."

However, Shen Xingtang had already sent a message to Huo Yan to explain the situation and kicked Ying Chenlin out of the maintenance room.

Grandpa Gu passed by and said kindly, "It's rare that you would kick him out of the maintenance room."

"You're only 20 years old, you can't live such a boring life." Shen Xingtang watched Ying Chenlin leave, "Besides, his body needs to be healed for a few days, let those funny guys take him out to play for two days before coming back."

The author has something to say:

KID: Our goal is to open online stores throughout the Star Alliance!
