63 Days of Scavenging

The blunder by the welcoming party made everyone in the convoy laugh.

The tension I had been feeling all along eased a little.

An Weizhi, the head of the motorcade security, and Min Feng, the director of the laboratory, introduced each researcher to the reception staff. When introducing Ren Wenhan, they emphasized the pronunciation slightly.

Everyone else was introduced, but the little robot surrounded in the middle was not. Min Feng pretended not to see the curious look on the host's face, and just kept a vigilant expression throughout, protecting the person very well.

The person who received them was also tactful and didn't ask any questions. They simply led the group to the pre-arranged accommodation.

Upon arrival, the group from the weapons research lab split into two groups.

Family members and research assistants stayed behind to make arrangements, while the researchers took more important data and various instruments and equipment to set up the laboratory.

The battles they fought along the way revealed the shortcomings and advantages of their weapons, and also gave them more inspiration. Now is the perfect time to continue their research and make the most of every minute.

Among these two major groups of people, a small group acted in a completely different way.

Dean Min Feng, Ren Wenhan, and the driver and Yun Shengsun Xin'ou who were in the car at the time protected the small robot. Around them, An Weizhi personally led the best guards to directly approach the commander-in-chief stationed in Beiyan.

.

"Is what you're saying true?!" The Commander-in-Chief stood up abruptly from his chair, his gaze fixed intently on Min Feng and the others. His imposing presence, honed on the battlefield, rendered them speechless.

And Ren Wenhan and the others were indeed not lying.

Even though they described the scene as something out of a fairy tale, they didn't tell a single lie.

Thus, the Commander-in-Chief became even more excited.

He hurried forward a few steps, grabbed the hands of the snow-haired boy who was standing quietly to the side without saying a word, and asked eagerly, "Comrade Naji! Could you demonstrate for us?"

The little robot did not refuse.

The commander-in-chief immediately ordered that the best-defended training ground in the base be cleared out and twenty soldiers with good skills and tight tongues be selected.

Then, leading the group of little robots, they nervously and expectantly headed towards the training ground.

Throughout the journey, the Commander-in-Chief kept asking Ren Wenhan and the others about the details of what happened.

Of course, he didn't forget the other new weapons that Ren Wenhan's lab was researching. However, with the devastating effect of the weapon brought out by the little robot, how could anyone resist paying attention?

Even Ren Wenhan and the others felt the same way, so they now fully understood the Commander-in-Chief.

Throughout the short journey, the Commander-in-Chief repeatedly listened to descriptions such as "a sky full of gold," "automatic identification of friend and foe," "incredibly precise," "powerful group attack," and "instantly defeating the enemy." The more he heard, the more excited he became, and he kept picturing the appearance of this unprecedented weapon in his mind.

When they arrived at the training ground, it had already been prepared according to the commander-in-chief's requirements.

However, three more imposing figures appeared at the entrance, curiously looking this way.

Upon seeing the Commander-in-Chief, before the latter could even speak, several of them surrounded him, clicking their tongues in amazement.

"Old Zhu, what good stuff have you gotten? Why didn't you call us old guys over to give you some advice?"

As we spoke, our eager gazes swept over Ren Wenhan and Min Feng, as if we could see what powerful weapons they had brought.

The commander-in-chief shook his head helplessly.

These old buddies still have such a keen sense of smell.

These three men were the commanders of several military regions who had returned to Beiyan to report on their duties during this period when there was no fighting.

The commander-in-chief knew their temperament and was not displeased. However, he himself was not the protagonist of this experiment.

So the commander-in-chief asked the little robot if it would mind adding a few more people.

The little robot shook its head, not minding.

Meanwhile, the curiosity and scrutiny in the eyes of the uninvited guests became particularly intense.

They prided themselves on their judgment of character, and this was a rare instance of them being wrong. Was it really the youngest boy who was the focus of this experiment?

This is the kind of situation where the Commander-in-Chief personally ordered the clearing of the most heavily guarded training ground. I wonder what amazing thing this young man will bring this time.

As for the possibility that the product isn't powerful?

Oh, I'm sorry, they felt that their commander-in-chief would never allow such a thing to happen.

It is precisely because they know the Commander-in-Chief's temperament that they are here now.

As long as I can get more good weapons for my troops, what does face matter? Can you eat that stuff?

This minor incident did not affect their pace.

The little robot was protected and quickly reached its destination.

In this high-security training ground, soldiers were already standing straight, awaiting orders.

The twenty men were divided into two teams, distinguished only by different colored cloth ropes tied to their arms. Then, on command, they began a chaotic melee.

Soon they were all intertwined, and it was difficult to distinguish which side was in which group.

The twenty-person battle was quite exciting, but at this moment, everyone's attention was not on them.

The commander-in-chief and the others watched as Min Feng and Ren Wenhan opened the weapon parts box and handed it to the small robot.

The little robot, with practiced ease, quickly assembled a weapon that differed somewhat from a gun, just like last time.

Immediately afterwards, he took a scroll from his bundle and placed it into the trajectory.

Then he handed the strangely shaped weapon to Hang Tong, the driver. He had already used it before, which saved the little robot the trouble of explaining how to use it again.

Hang Tong swallowed hard, gripping his weapon tightly with both hands.

Last time he didn't know what he had received, but this time he understands it very clearly. He knows exactly what what he has in his hands represents and what kind of huge changes it will bring to the future!

Every single thing made Hang Tong more nervous than ever before!

At this moment, Hang Tong could no longer pay attention to the gazes of the Commander-in-Chief and several other important military officers who were watching from the sidelines.

He focused intently, aimed, and pulled the trigger—

In an instant, light scattered and golden bells rang!

The training ground was deathly silent.

Upon seeing this magical scene again, Ren Wenhan and the others could no longer hide their shock. Their bodies were boiling, their hearts were racing, and they were too excited to speak.

Even they were stunned. The commander-in-chief and others, who were seeing this for the first time, were dumbfounded, their eyes wide open!

Even the soldiers with exceptional reflexes on the training ground were stunned by this fantastical scene, frozen in place, unable to move.

Oh, and the ten people wearing red ribbons are truly unable to move.

"Quick! Check if they're alright!"

Upon realizing what had happened, the commander-in-chief immediately ordered his men to check on the people who had been hit by the bell.

These aren't real enemies; they're all their own people. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to them.

Min Feng and the others quickly reassured them: "Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, they are just in a state of rigidity, just like being anesthetized. Their bodily functions are all normal, and there is no danger to their lives. This state will last for 6 to 12 hours."

Of course, if someone were to attack them during these hours of paralysis, their lives would be in danger.

That's how the enemies who fell for this trick last time were dealt with.

The commander-in-chief was then somewhat relieved.

Then, his gaze toward the little robot was filled with shock and surprise, and for a moment, he didn't know how to express the surging emotions in his heart.

However, before he could even choose his words, the three military region commanders beside him rushed up to the little robot and Hang Tong, surrounding them and speaking in such an excited tone that they even used dialects and interjections:

"Holy shit! What the hell is this thing?! Holy crap! Its power is incredible!!"

"I want it! I absolutely have to have it! My darling, my precious darling! Oh my god."

"Get lost! The army is in dire need of replenishing its weapons. It doesn't matter if we're short on other things, but this good stuff must be given to our entire army!"

"Our army is on the front lines, and it's responsible for most of the northern front. This kind of treasure for mass attacks should be assigned to us!"

"What are you saying? Aren't my soldiers going to the front lines? Never mind, I'll get a share of the treasure anyway!"

"How do I use this treasure? What did you just put in? Is it rare? Can it be mass-produced? Just tell me what materials you need! Also, hehe, can I touch it?"

The three military region commanders at this moment resembled a combination of the Big Bad Wolf and eight hundred ducks, bickering and laughing in an extremely "kind" manner.

Hang Tong was at a loss.

The little robot, however, remained unfazed and was able to extract the questions it needed to answer from these conversations, answering them one by one.

"When firing, focus entirely on the enemy's characteristics and fire upwards."

It's actually all about willpower.

"The bullet with special effects that was put in is called Radiant Song."

You can't just say it's a magic scroll; using special bullets instead is fine too.

"The quantity is scarce, and it requires a special manufacturing process, so it cannot be mass-produced."

Magic scrolls naturally require magic to make, and since the people of this world don't have magic, they obviously can't make them.

"A roll of special bullets can only be used once. If you need to test it again, we can replace it with a new one."

As the little robot said this, it took out a new magic scroll.

Yes, he needed to replace the scroll himself.

Unfortunately, activating a magic scroll does require magic power, albeit in negligible amounts. A tiny bit is always needed to activate it. The reason ordinary people who weren't magicians could use scrolls in the previous world was because magic was everywhere in the air, and humans in that world always had some magic power within their bodies—just pitifully little.

But it's definitely enough to activate the magic scroll.

In this world, only small robots can convert energy into magic. When he installed the scroll, he had already infused a small amount of magic into the weapon, which is why humans can also produce the effect of a magic scroll.

However, perhaps because there is no magic in the air of the new world, the scroll's effect is much smaller than in the magical world.

Even so, it was enough to shock humanity around the world.

The humans present looked at the little robot as if it were a mountain of gold!

Knowing how rare special bullets were, the commanders stopped clamoring to try them out themselves right now, but they couldn't help but show a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes as they looked at Hang Tong.

That kid is really lucky.

Immediately afterwards, the group put aside everything else and surrounded the little robot, asking him about his well-being. Knowing that he had just arrived in Beiyan with the team, they inquired whether he had settled on a place to stay, whether he had enough bedding, whether he had packed all his luggage, and what else he was missing. They were all eager to help him make the bed and add furniture, and were just short of serving him tea and water.

This is my precious baby!

Even if you ask them to serve tea or water, they have to treat you with utmost care and consideration!

Although the commander-in-chief didn't get caught up in the warm greetings, he immediately summoned his subordinates and raised the security level of the little robot to the highest level. Each order he issued had only one central idea: to guard against and protect the little robot at all costs.

As a result, security at Min Feng's weapons laboratory was significantly strengthened.

When the little robot came out of the Commander-in-Chief's office, it was accompanied by two bodyguards.

As for the empty gun without the magic scroll, it was left at the base with Hang Tong; the commander-in-chief and the others wanted to study it further.

"Well done!" Ren Wenhan patted the little robot on the shoulder, feeling extremely happy. "Now we can definitely beat those guys who bullied us to a pulp!"
