While Jiang Ling was fighting fiercely, another corner of this unknown site was also in the midst of a fierce battle.

This was an online meeting attended by several high-ranking government officials and over a dozen leading experts, including some well-known figures in the metropolitan area. They had just reviewed all the footage and documentation of the previous brawl and were about to discuss a follow-up plan that would satisfy all parties.

"...From the first successful implantation into an individual, to the formation of a new class within the system, to the first outbreak of conflict between the old and new classes, it took only 17 hours. They're changing at an alarming rate. We need to re-evaluate our strategic plan for the metropolitan area."

"How are those people who fought doing now?"

"They are under close surveillance, but it seems they are hiding some secrets."

"Let's put the Awakened implant program on hold for now, and focus the control experiments on the existing successful cases. The risk is truly too great, and we can't repeat the same mistakes as in Shuchuan."

"Since theirs are suspended, can we use the extra MROD-01?"

"How much more?"

"The original plan was to use 500 copies, but 307 copies were actually used. The current daily production capacity is 5.5 copies, and research on industrial mass production is still underway."

"In other words, there are still some ordinary people who haven't used it?"

"No, we already have enough samples. The extra samples were mainly lost by the Awakened... Their metabolic capacity is too strong. Some of them were broken down by their bodies the moment they were implanted."

"What? That's titanium alloy and carbon nanoceramics!"

"Ahem~ Seal up 50 first, and discuss how to divide the rest. Old Ning, how is the situation outside the East China Sea? Production capacity is gradually recovering now, so there's no need to constantly sacrifice human lives."

"It's okay, don't worry. My floating platform is in great shape. I caught a big fish a couple of days ago. I'll send you some when I get back."

"No, thanks! I'm too old to chew that kind of meat!"

After closing the meeting interface, Qin Xin put the holographic mask back on the table. There were only two people in the room, the other one was the person in charge of the next subject to whom she would be handing over work.

She rubbed her eyes, placed a data disk on the table, and then pushed it to the man's hand.

"Long time no see, bro!"

"It's only been a few days!" The man said in a gentle tone, hiding in a place where the light couldn't reach him. "I have a lot of good guys here. Can you spare some time to meet them?"

"Hehehe~"

Qin Xin covered half of her face and teased, "I'm almost forty. Introducing a young man to me, wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

"You know you're getting old, huh? I thought you felt young and weren't in a rush at all!"

"I'm in a hurry, but I'm very busy now! Let's do it next time!" she tried to argue.

"You said the same thing last time."

"No, this time is different! Next time, definitely next time!"

"Yes, that's what you said last time." The man, who was four years older than her, curled his lips in amusement. "Your sister-in-law will come to see you tomorrow. Don't refuse this time! How long has it been since you last visited her?"

"Tomorrow!!!" Qin Xin panicked for a moment, "But I still have tomorrow..."

"Did you arrange it yourself, or did someone else arrange it for you?"

"Okay, okay. I'll go~~"

"That's good!" Qin Huang nodded, "Now let's talk about what we should pay attention to."

"Forehead......"

Qin Xin flipped through the stack of documents in front of her. These precious firsthand materials couldn't possibly be stored online. She found file number 069 and handed it to Qin Huang.

"She is the only Awakened individual with psychic abilities that has been successfully implanted. We are currently keeping her in the observation room. We must make good use of this specimen. Her data will be very helpful in building models in the future."

"Does that require a special plan for her?"

"No, let's stick with the original plan. Although she's special, we still have many options. Try to hide her. The Awakened are also trying to figure out our intentions. Making her a target of public attack might increase the risk of our plan."

"Oh? Who will you use as a shield?"

"It can only be her!"

Qin Xin handed a top-secret document to her brother, which even she had no right to read.

"It's amazing that you managed to trick her into coming here!" Qin Huang laughed. "Aren't you just bullying an honest person? Have you figured out how to explain it to her? She'll figure it out sooner or later!"

"No, we made it clear from the beginning. We came up with an open plan, and she has already agreed."

"Tell me about it?"

"Nothing much. We analyzed her behavior and used something that would definitely attract her."

"Wealth? Status? Beauty? I remember these are useful to most people."

"No, she wants stories. We've noticed she's incredibly curious and seems to be hungry for everything."

"Stories?" Qin Huang sighed. "We've spent half our lives together, and she's still like a child. Okay, I'll remember that. Besides that, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Yes, there is." Qin Xin said loudly, "Lin Yi, start the live broadcast!"

"Okay!"

A beam of light pierced the darkness of the room, projecting an ongoing scene onto the screen in front of them. It was a real-time feed from several surveillance cameras, and Lin Yi had thoughtfully included a 3D reference image in the corner of the screen.
