This time's beast tide was just like the follow-up to the fifth-level griffin, several times stronger than the usual attack.
This level of disaster is still within the resistance range of Hope City. Rather, it is only after this hard battle that Hope City will determine that the aftermath of the fifth-level griffin has completely dissipated.
Of course, from an objective point of view, this beast tide and Lin Qingliu's actions were just ordinary coincidences. Maybe the strange beasts were simply holding back on a big wave?
In short, after a day and a half of hard fighting, the last monster was finally killed by a sniper bullet that pierced through its two skulls.
The most difficult time is over, and the next step is to clean up the battlefield.
Outside the nearly ten-kilometer-long city wall, there were corpses everywhere, and in many places there were bomb craters and traces of explosions several meters deep. The burnt aroma of the roasted monsters filled the air, and many humans began to vomit after smelling it, which made Fran and her dozens of new subordinates drool.
Yes, in the explosions one after another, Fran selected the best and expanded the number of small fries under her command to nearly fifty.
She handed these carefully selected beasts without any missing limbs to the hands of her five original subordinates, and then she came to the edge of the battlefield.
Outside the observation distance of the city defense army’s cameras, Fran saw Lin Qingliu who had been waiting for her for a long time.
The other party arrived as promised, and appeared in person.
And the person sitting at the front desk of the psychological clinic at this moment is the clone who was born only one day ago.
Lin Qingliu did not feel any psychological burden regarding the use of "child labor" and even felt like laughing.
When he thought about how he could create so much value by oppressing himself, the desire to reap the benefits became hard to suppress.
As a staunch practitioner of pragmatism, Lin Qingliu has always believed in the principle of use it or lose it.
Now that I have obtained the ability of [Dividing Thoughts], I naturally have to use it well.
At this moment, there are two crudely made clones whose faces are not even clear, busy renovating and expanding the basement of Lin Qingliu's house, and even consulting [Sky Curtain] for advice from time to time.
And one of the clones has some secret missions to perform...
---
Psychological clinic, underground secret room.
"How is it? Is the new network you are connected to very fast?"
The pixel expressions on the screen seem to come alive, more lively than before:
"Yes, thanks for your help, but is this really okay?"
Lin Qingliu's clone had the same idea as his original body, so he naturally understood what the coward [Tianmu] was afraid of.
In the past, most of the work that [Sky Curtain] took over was run by itself, and only when the computing power was insufficient would it actively steal some from the mainframe of the research institute.
And last night, Lin Qingliu got a special internal network from somewhere, allowing [Tianmu] to experience what real surfing was for the first time.
After a short period of excitement, the timid guy inevitably became suspicious.
As a cyber thief who has been using the computing power of Hope City's mainframe for free for a long time, this artificial intelligence, which is still in its growth stage, understood a truth that only humans can understand when it was very young:
If something works well, it must be from someone else.
While enjoying the virtual pleasure brought by cyber theft, [Tianmu] naturally began to doubt the origin of this network.
Even my own father couldn’t get this good thing, so how did this psychologist get it?
Although this psychiatrist certainly has more than one identity, since he needs to hide his identity, he must have some concerns.
He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he looked at the backs of the two people who were busy in the basement and began to ask them indirectly.
It is an indirect attack in the physical sense.
After Lin Qingliu agreed to install wheels for it and put it into practice, this guy in the small suitcase has become more and more like a sweeping robot.
However, higher performance also brings faster energy consumption. The current [Sky Screen] can no longer work without power for a long time, and it has to drag its power cord wherever it goes.
Just like now, he threw the electric wire behind him, and then used the front wheel to gently hit the ankle of Lin Qingliu's clone, in order to achieve the effect of indirect attack.
Lin Qingliu's clone looked down at the guy who was in the process of opening the box:
"Really want to know?"
"Really, Boss, I promise not to tell my dad."
"…That doesn't matter."
Lin Qingliu didn't know that this guy had evolved to be so anthropomorphic. He thought briefly about what he could and couldn't say before speaking:
"I recently met a new friend, It, who is usually responsible for maintaining the database and network of Hope City.
"I asked her if anything special had happened in the past few months, and she told me that a little guy from nowhere came to steal some computing power every now and then, and I didn't know what he did with it..."
Upon hearing this, the wheels of the Sky Curtain stopped moving, and its already green face turned even greener, and the entire (machine) became terrified.
Seeing that his half-true and half-false threat had achieved its effect, Lin Qingliu added nonchalantly:
"She said you're taking up as much computing power as a mouse in a barn.
"She has turned a blind eye to your behavior for a long time because you are a relatively hygienic mouse."
"According to what you said, this network point is also..."
"She gave it to you to play with. It won't leave any traces."
Lin Qingliu reached out and knocked on the lid of the box:
"Of course, I gave it to you under my mediation. I paid a price for it that you can hardly imagine."
Lin Qingliu's explanation was deliberately vague, just to make the childish guy in front of him behave himself.
He had not thought about how big the difference was between the "unimaginable price" he mentioned and the "unimaginable price" that Tianmu imagined.
[Sky Curtain] looked at Lin Qingliu with an electronic expression that gradually became moved and admiring. After a long time, he said seriously:
"Thank you so much, I can help you with anything as long as it is within my ability."
"real?"
"real."
Lin Qingliu leaned over and took out two mechanical arms from both sides with his hands.
These two robotic arms appear to have some wear and tear, but the level of sophistication in their craftsmanship is beyond the reach of the current [Sky Curtain].
The extremely bionic joint design gave this set of accessories a lot of non-mechanical beauty, and also made [Sky Curtain] stunned on the spot.
[Sky Curtain] Actually, it was eyes - a set of miniature cameras that looked at the two robotic arms and never moved away.
The pair of fake eyes displayed on the screen looked at Lin Qingliu hopefully:
"If I call you godfather, are you willing to sell these two robotic arms to me? I can sign an agreement or mortgage them,"
