"The idea behind this part of the modification is not academic."
This was Song Shuang's first comment on the defense system that Annie had personally modified after he arrived at No. 01. There was a light brown Band-Aid on her neck, and there were several new cuts and tears on the skin layer underneath the Band-Aid.
This is where Ani implanted the chip.
Her methods were skillful and experienced. After leaving the hunting ground, the two of them immediately looked for their own network of connections, hoping to completely escape the fate of being controlled by others - even though Annie had rescued them, she would not get lost in this situation of being chained up and then given a sweet date.
But no matter whether they were senior teachers with superb skills, friends doing underground shady business, or other hunters or wanted criminals, the two of them searched countless ways within a few days, but in the end no one dared to act rashly.
A friend who replaces prosthetics for cyborgs answered her: "Removing it without affecting the brain and blocking the triggering signal has a success rate of less than 50%."
Song Shuang: "You have the highest success rate."
"So I advise you not to touch it." The friend said, "This is not an ordinary method. To be frank, any mechanic will be interested in its maker. If I hadn't watched your live broadcast, I would have thought it was the work of those private laboratories of Skydome Technology... or it was made by an intelligent machine."
"Her fame has spread to the mechanics' circle?"
Prosthetic repair, mecha maintenance, starship modification... Most of these projects are generally referred to as mechanics, and Song Shuang is not very clear about the internal subdivisions.
She is a genetic warrior, not a mutator.
"You should ask where her reputation is not known by now." The friend opened the operating straps of the observation platform and sat down among a pile of precision parts. "Her performance level far exceeds her hunting ranking, 2120. Hiss, they really underestimated her. The underground casino of the Red Network has already opened a game that her next hunting mission will be an A-level mission, and there are countless related bets."
"Where are you from?"
"I'm telling you this because I'm on your side." Her friend looked at her, "You two are strong enough, right? But do you have the confidence to get out of the A-level hunting ground unscathed? Is Captain Ren of the Galaxy Guard Federation strong enough? Do you think she can enter the A-level live broadcast and appear on the central giant screen of Morning Star?"
“……”Hunters who can do these things can be considered successful.
"We are all trying to make a living, chaos is the norm, and order is the exception." He said, "If it is not a difficulty but an opportunity, then it will be a big loss."
This sentence reminded Song Shuang.
After confirming that the chip could not be removed, she persuaded her sister, and the two of them rushed over immediately after receiving Ani's message, and saw the submarine that Ani had modified herself. Song Shuang's hand stroked the second layer of light shield of the defense system, and a faint repulsive force fell into his palm.
Song Zhen stood beside her, seemingly accompanying his sister as she analyzed No. 01, but his attention was always on the other side.
Not far from Ani, there was a silent, dark figure. Humans and Zerg are old enemies. Even after the 79A Agreement, she is still wary and cautious of this brutal race.
There was a sheer black veil in Mo Wan's hair. He was dressed in a more dull and depressing way, without a single bright color on him. The extreme black contrasted with the pale fingers. The man lowered his eyes, sewing something patiently and gently.
But when the cup of water on Annie's table was empty, he would stand up silently like a ghost, making almost no sound, as if walking on spider silk, and refill her water and add half a piece of sugar to her tea.
Song Zhen became more alert when faced with a spider clan that moves silently.
Annie cleaned the communicator again and re-encrypted it using the ability of the omnics - this was probably just a small Sudoku game for the angel, wasting some of his time, but except for the angels, other intelligent life forms could hardly spy on her privacy.
Her omnic mimicry is almost a copy of Angel's, but it's not complete.
After encryption, Annie applied to the planetary organization of M357 to lease the land.
M357 and 359 are neighbors, a large number of viruses are flooding the local network, and the network environment is extremely dangerous. There is not much available land here and it is not expensive. With Ani's shining certification as a hunter, the application was approved very quickly.
This is a two-hundred-year use right for five thousand square kilometers.
Ani wants to build a base on this land and rebuild the Temple of Fertility.
After determining the land area, Ani divided her savings into several parts. In addition to accompanying her teacher these days, she has also used other tentacles to design a base. Five thousand square kilometers is neither too big nor too small, and does not pose a substantial threat to the branch institute of the Science Association.
Leave the more conspicuous places empty first to avoid attracting too much attention. But this is the prototype of an armed base after all, and it requires a large amount of military equipment and even contraband when it is first built.
After obtaining the artificial intelligence, Annie was able to filter the prices on the Star Network very quickly. She quickly entered the Red Network and chose a place that was not supervised by intelligent life to start ordering materials and looking for partners. Just as Annie was searching for the partner's information, she suddenly saw the reward post that this person had posted.
The person who offered the reward was Mo Wan.
Ani looked up at him. Xiao Mo did the work in his hands obediently and silently, looking virtuous and gentle. After being glanced at by her, he carefully raised his head and stood up, as if wondering whether to go over.
But Ani quickly looked away, said nothing, and started to read the post.
This account that provided a large amount of contraband did not give much explanation, except to say that Mo Wan was a lunatic and that his interests were affected.
The poster is very famous on Rednet, and his nickname is "Last Day of Sale at a Conscientious Price". Ani discovered that he had also opened many gambling games targeting the hunting grounds, with stakes of varying sizes. The most terrifying one involved a huge amount of money, and the money was spent like water.
The day she entered the Angel Database, she only collected partial information, which only contained footage of Mo Wan entering and leaving the teacher's house. Ani thought for a moment, turned on the communicator, and sent a message to Imolius:
Jelly Monster: If you have these things, I’ll send you a list. [appendix]
Imorius replied quickly.
Party A: You want to ascend the throne?
Party A: None of them are compliant.
Party A: But I do. [appendix]
It's a quotation.
Annie quickly read the quotation sheet and found that the quotation from Imolius was highly consistent with that from the poster on Rednet. She probably guessed part of it and suddenly changed the subject.
Jelly Monster: What was the outcome of our bet?
The night before she left Mon'en, she was with Imoris. He once mentioned this bet. If Mo Wan was willing to stay quietly on the Moon Star, Imolius said he would give her the winery.
Party A: I win.
Party A: But I’m not happy about winning.
Party A: He attacked my employee and threatened me to provide your location. If it weren't for your sake, the fact that he still has a mother who is a consul would have made him be tried and executed long ago...Married Spider men have a wife-priority rule. Lin Jiang, even if it's just a marriage in name only, you have really become his patron saint.
Jelly Monster: That sounds very unsatisfactory.
Party A: I was already very dissatisfied!
Party A: You lawless poisonous spiders. I can only recover this debt myself, bypassing Zerg law. I have been tracking him for a long time. This madman is now completely out of control. I suspect he will get stressed out at any time. If you return to Meng Enxing, I advise you to divorce him quickly and get rid of him.
Jelly Monster: Deal with it?
Party A: If you divorce him, I will naturally help you deal with it.
In the few minutes when Ani didn't respond, Imolius sent a lot of video and surveillance evidence.
After reading the evidence, she looked up at Xiao Mo again, and then continued to negotiate with him about what the armed base needed to purchase as if nothing had happened.
But Ani added one more thing.
Even if the two had a previous cooperative relationship, Imolius was still a black-hearted businessman. Ani couldn't negotiate the price, and no matter how she modified the plan, it was always over budget. She didn't want to save money in a crucial area.
Party A just said coldly, "Except me, you won't find anyone who dares to sell these things to you at a lower price."
...damn monopoly.
Annie felt a headache, and the other party said the next sentence.
Party A: The wine you drink is more expensive than 10,000 tons of C5 alloy.
Ani licked her lips and thought to herself that I can't spit it out either. What's the use of this? You're willing to give me wine but not to discuss business. The thoughts of you playboys are really hard to understand.
Ten seconds later, he sent the next sentence.
Party A: I can buy you a drink.
Party A: Would you like to consider being my bodyguard, White Knight? I can build you an armed base using C1 alloy. The Freedom Alliance's third mothership is made mainly of C1 alloy. Even a golden house probably can't compare to it.
The butterfly casts an enticing bait.
However, Ani was not attracted by the huge value behind the promise, and she was particularly firm in her refusal this time.
Jelly Monster: No!
If you agree to Imoris, you will be completely tied to the black-hearted boss's pirate ship. He would try every possible way to devour the interests around him. Ani felt that he was not yet to the point of paying so much for a personal bodyguard.
After a moment, he made another offer.
Party A: Tell me your real identity and I will agree to the price you negotiated.
Before Ani could think, he had already applied for a communication. The words "communication being established" appeared on the light screen. Annie thought for a few seconds and answered the call.
His face appeared on the light screen.
The bright and shiny golden hair fell on his shoulders, and the ends of the hair gradually turned into a gorgeous pink. Imolius held a wine glass in one hand, as if he was on the terrace of a banquet, the night breeze from the Moon Star blew through his hair and passed through his golden eyelashes.
The pair of golden-red eyes between the fluttering hair are like the most expensive gem in the world.
There was a long curtain behind him, and one could vaguely see the clinking of glasses inside. It was winter on the planet Mon'en, and Imoris' fingertips were slightly red from the cold. His dress was not thick, and the tassels on his collar trembled slightly with the wind.
The two looked at each other.
Imolius raised his hand and took a sip of the remaining wine in the glass. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of inquiring smile appeared on his beautiful face, and he said softly: "...Contestant Ani."
Annie's eyelids jumped, thinking that you still have time to watch entertainment programs. She nodded and said expressionlessly: "Please give me another 10,000 tons of C5 alloy, just as I drank one more bottle of your wine."
She looked so righteous, as if she had really saved money for her boss.
Imolius put his finger on his chin, and raised the corner of his lips: "It's so rude to ask for a gift, you bad jelly monster."
Ani said seriously, "I am the bad jelly monster. If you don't give it to me, I will go to the Rednet forum and write a bad review for your account. Write a 1,500-word bad review."
Imoris was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. Ani didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. She was ready to bargain for this gift worth a bottle of famous wine, but she heard him say, "Okay."
……OK?
Annie suddenly stopped writing the speech she was about to write and looked at him in surprise.
The contraband this guy sold on the Red Net was enough to make the Free Alliance execute him a hundred times for his detours. Even if he was sentenced according to the Zerg, it would at least be a crime that endangered the racial harmony of the universe. He wouldn't really be threatened by bad reviews, right?
Imolius stared at her face for a long time before slowly looking away and saying, "I've seen your video."
"My videos are everywhere, and the Zerg treat me as one of their own." Ani disagreed.
"What do you mean by one of our own..." Imolius said, "It's just a slimy, cunning and evil jelly monster."
As he spoke, he rolled up the sleeves of his dress, as if trying not to look at her. Imolius's conversation rhythm was unprecedentedly chaotic. He even asked, "Do you want me to send someone to help you build it? I have someone under my command--"
"No." Ani refused, "It's too conspicuous. Most of your men are Zerg, right? Appearing outside the S star field will make people very nervous."
Imoris looked at her and stopped insisting, but confirmed the details with her in person.
These matters should have been discussed by his secretary, but for the first time, Imolius took charge of them himself.
The terrace curtain was drawn aside, and a member of the Butterfly Clan dressed in formal attire hurried over, seemingly having something to report. Only then did Imolius stop communicating.
Before and after the communication was closed, Ani never showed any special attitude towards Mo Wan.
But Mo Wan had stopped sewing the protective gear for a long time. His fingertips were curled up and tightened, and he hardly dared to raise his eyes to look at Ani's expression.
His heart suddenly lifted up, affected by her joy and anger, as if it was hanging high with a hole in it.
Ani said nothing.
It was like a sharp blade hanging high in the air, ready to fall and crush him at any time. Mo Wan held the materials in his hand absentmindedly, his fingertips unconsciously piercing into his palm, and the sharp spider stinger accidentally injured himself.
The pain brought him back to his senses.
Mo Wan carefully wiped the blue blood off his hands to avoid staining his work. He took out the medicine box and wrapped it around the wound, wanting to continue mending his clothes, but the intense pain distracted him again and again.
Rather than the crime of killing innocent people, he was more afraid of ruining his image in front of Lady Ani.
This was the only thing Mo Wan regretted.
Lin is pregnant, and there are so many men out there who are more obedient and docile than him, and with Lady Ani's status, those males will definitely be willing to serve her... His wife is tired of seeing her face, and those men out there who are lining up to marry the Star Sea Warriors are still young and beautiful.
He is not that well-behaved... Lady Ani will be very dissatisfied.
Mo Wan couldn't help but have wild thoughts, his mind was torn into pieces. Possessiveness and excessive obsession filled his chest with jealousy and murderous intent towards other males. Even if they were just virtual enemies that only existed in his imagination, it still tormented him.
-
Ani was busy preparing for her departure.
When she received the goods, the balance in her account also decreased significantly. Ani told Lin the approximate construction schedule. She didn't want to make the teacher too hard, but she had to tell him about this. Lin couldn't be ignorant of it.
He thought for a while and said, "This is a C-level research institute of the Science Association. The director is mean, greedy and short-sighted. As long as you prepare the bribe in advance, he won't care what you build around it, and he won't bother to report it to the headquarters. After all, this is not related to our research."
Ani nodded and replanned. The two of them talked closer and closer, until her hand on the virtual blueprint stopped moving and Lin's breathing slowed down.
The teacher was permeated with her scent.
It was a scent that was enough to dazzle people.
Ani leaned close to his ear and used the scent to gauge his absorption. Suddenly she asked, "You've been so busy today. Did it leak out?"
“…”
Lin's breathing suddenly stopped.
Annie put her arms around his waist and held his slender waist in her arms. Several tentacles slid over and hooked onto his uniform jacket, rolled up the hem of the white uniform, and moved along the back of his legs.
She said, “Let me check it out.”
Lin took her hand and glanced down at the small tentacle sliding around under the cover of her coat. He looked neat and tidy, his shirt was neatly buttoned and his cuffs were not wrinkled at all, but his body was so tightly wrapped that soft tentacles were crawling up against his skin.
"Did your colleagues find out?" Ani asked him softly, "Do you want me to re-..."
She swore that she asked this question with consideration for the teacher, but halfway through, the other half turned into lust.
"Do you want me to fill it up again?" Ani said.
Lin's knuckles holding him suddenly closed, his ears and neck burning red, he opened his thin lips slightly, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he said in an almost inaudible voice: "Stop messing around..."
He suddenly lost consciousness several times in the laboratory, all because of her.
These were probably the days when Lin was most absent-minded at work since he became a researcher. Even when he was sick with a fever and cough and was extremely weak, he was not as nervous as he is now.
Obviously, your health is getting better.
The ground is obviously flat.
But it felt like I was still stepping on broken glass, feeling nervous, fearful, and terrified.
But just like Annie said, the eggs feel much better. When he stroked her belly again, he could feel the soft and excited feedback from the other side, as well as the faint distension and sourness in the abdominal cavity, where the gestational sac containing the child was located. With just a slight touch, he could feel the delicate flesh under his fingers twitching slightly.
He will become more nervous.
At least several colleagues asked him today if his fever had gotten worse and if he wanted to rest. Lin bit his lower lip until it was slightly swollen, then he suddenly came to his senses and said no, he was fine.
"I'm not teasing you." Ani lowered her head and kissed his neck gently, her lips pressing against the delicate Adam's apple of the mermaid. Feeling the other person swallowing tightly and hastily, she whispered, "I'm talking about serious matters."
“…No.” He was forced to answer directly, “It took me a long time to get used to the shape of that device…”
Annie paused, recalling that it was a soft sphere that she had modified before putting it in. It could record Lin's physical condition and could barely be considered a medical device. She rubbed the teacher's lips and said deliberately: "Well, it's already the same temperature as the teacher's body, you like it more-"
Lin's coral ears turned pink. He avoided Ani's gaze and finally said, "No, no... I don't like it."
Annie touched his lips, raised her hand and cupped his cheek, her fingertips touching the curve of his cheek. She looked at Lin and said, "You like me."
Lin took a breath and murmured softly, "I like you."
Annie kissed him immediately.
This long and lingering kiss robbed all the air from his mouth, along with his rationality, reserve, his arrogance and persistence as a mermaid, all of which were carefully tasted and swallowed by Annie, and swallowed into her stomach. When their lips parted, even though he was holding her hand, Lin felt his eyes were wet and about to cry. He resisted the urge to stop himself and almost turned into a tail instinctively.
