Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoming frowned.
The energy core deep within the mine? A large-scale experiment?
It seems that the white-robed man's ambitions are even greater than he imagined.
"Very good, Qinglian, your intelligence is very valuable." Lu Zhaoming nodded in satisfaction. "From now on, you are mine."
He needed more information about the White Robe, and the Azure Lotus was the best way to break through.
"Su Li, treat her," Lu Zhaoming instructed. "Then, take her to rest."
Su Li nodded and left with Qinglian.
Lu Zhaoming watched Qinglian's departing figure.
White Robe, it seems our game has only just begun!
The energy core must be destroyed as soon as possible!
Lu Zhaoming sorted through the intelligence provided by Qinglian, feeling a sense of urgency.
However, at that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out:
"Warning! Warning! An unknown energy source has been detected approaching..."
However, just as Lu Zhaoming rolled up his sleeves, ready to get down to business and thoroughly digest Qinglian's information, a mechanical voice suddenly popped into his mind: "Warning! Warning! Abnormal energy fluctuations detected in the host's body. Immediate rest is recommended."
Lu Zhaoming felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if someone had hit him hard on the back of the head with a stick. He felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.
"Damn it, it failed me at the crucial moment?" He cursed inwardly. This damn system is useless most of the time, but now it's been reminding me so frequently.

Lu Zhaoming shook his head, trying to stay awake: "Tch, I'm the chosen one, how could anything happen to me? I just used a powerful move, I'll be fine after a rest."
He took a deep breath, forced himself to stand up, and his eyes held a stubborn refusal to admit defeat: "Then let me prove to you what a real man is!"
He staggered to the table, picked up the intelligence report, and his eyes were as determined as a warrior's.
"Energy core...white robe...heh, I'm here!"
After saying that, he walked out of the room without looking back, leaving Qinglian standing there with a worried look on her face.
Little did he know the crisis hidden behind this seemingly casual remark.
