Chapter 96 (Minor Repair)
The Milky Way ripples and the stars twinkle.
The leader stood on the terrace where the fire was enclosed, holding a cigarette between his fingertips. The thin wisps of smoke drifted in the artificial wind. Following beside him, a spherical robot like an elf showed a human-like speechless expression and was busy collecting the wisp of smoke and sending it to the air purification device hidden in the corner of the terrace.
When not with Shen Jian, the leader remained in this dead silence for a long time.
Apart from work and silence, he seemed to have nothing left. The figures reflected in his calm and numb eyes were all people he had seen countless times. Even the souls within were the same, without any novelty. Talent and faith became nothing in his eyes.
In the Tower of Annihilation in the previous world, he at least had an unfulfilled dream to support him, but now, the leader only has a very simple goal left.
Complete Shen Jian's goal, then lie down and be buried in the quietest place deep in the Wuyan Tower... Maybe Shen Jian will allow him to be next to Mo Yi?
The leader lowered his eyes, thinking aimlessly, his eyes empty and silent.
The leader's light eyes reflected the endless fleet outside the curved glass window. Smoke surrounded the man, curiously entwining his long hair that fell to the ground, and he moved closer intimately.
A bony hand lifted up a strand of hair that was about to catch fire, and put out the leader's cigarette.
"If you smoke during the mission, you will be punished." Shen Jian put the cigarette butt into the hands of the small ball robot, which showed a relieved expression.
The leader leaned against the wall and hummed. His cloak was twisted by his back and the wall, forming tiny folds, and then fell smoothly to the ground at the bottom.
He looked at him, not taking the threat seriously at all: "A few minutes?"
Shen Jian gestured a number and leaned against the wall on the other side. The corridor was silent. Solomon silently took away the video surveillance of this area. The two stood on both sides of the terrace, and the darkness emerged clearly.
The countdown begins, 179 seconds.
The spark began its first migration.
Shen Jian's earphones flickered with a faint green light. He silently watched the fleet in outer space, which was covered with environmental camouflage like an ink painting. Just like an eraser erasing ink bit by bit, the huge ships disappeared bit by bit, and were replaced by the sky that surfaced again.
...When Ye Conglin handed over the painting technology to Wu Yan Ta, he would never have thought that Wu Yan Ta could transform this paint into a lightweight flowing metal that could reflect ambient light and simulate the real environment with almost 100% accuracy?
Shen Jian thought slowly, with no expression on his face.
Countdown 112 seconds.
The leader tilted his head slightly and unconsciously rubbed his right hand that had its cigarette taken away from him. "Aren't you going over there?"
"No." Shen Jian laughed, "I need to go for everything, what's the point of raising them?"
102 seconds.
Shen Jian tapped the headset, interrupting the data that was constantly being transmitted over there, and his ears finally felt a little better.
"Have you finished explaining to Him?"
Shen Jian hummed calmly, "That guy imitated that agreement and made another one for me on the spot."
Solomon's mechanical arm stretched out at the right time and handed a document to the leader. He took it and just flipped it twice, then he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and the loneliness around him was diluted a little.
The god took out the heavy agreement very quickly, and seemed very impatient. The first thing Shen Jian saw when he took it was "Allowing the two worlds to establish trade relations after the war."
Shen Jian was silent for a while, wishing he could smash this agreement on the god's head.
What the hell?
Is his world a free resource planet?
The leader raised his eyebrows, and instantly remembered the agreement that Shen An and the others had signed with Shen Jian as a joke when Shen An was brought back.
"...He won't use your place as a resource collection point, right?" The leader really thought the same as Shen Jian, and asked with a low smile, "With such a huge gap in technological development, the two sides are communicating..."
Wouldn't this be suppressing the world with a low development curve?
"So I didn't agree." Shen Jian sneered.
The leader couldn't help laughing for a while, but gradually stopped laughing in the face of Shen Jian's increasingly chilly gaze. He seemed to have fallen from the void back to the human world, his eyebrows relaxed, "Of course, He is just pushing his luck."
The breeze that had been sweeping across the place suddenly grew stronger, as if it was twisting the leader's long hair in hatred, but the leader waved it away nonchalantly.
You don't dare to come over, so you can only use intangible things to bother him?
The god once vaguely revealed to the leader that there was a hidden condition in the original agreement between Shen Jian and him.
[If Shen Jian fails...]
"Perhaps He just wanted to see you very much, but in order to suppress this urge, He deliberately made an impossible agreement?" the leader said half-jokingly.
Shen Jian looked at the leader in silence, and chuckled softly. He didn't say whether he believed it or not. After glancing at the time, he slowly said, "He can realize this agreement."
"……Um?"
Shen Jian said coldly, “If you hand over all the technological means of his world, I can agree to it, and even give preferential treatment to Party B of this agreement.”
leader:"……"
The leader glanced at Breeze, who seemed to be drooping his head, and calmly looked away.
He tried his best, so how could that be considered as not helping?
Shen Jian glanced at the leader, shook his head, drew the leader's attention, and said softly, "It's time."
The first jump of a main ship without the leader's presence.
Shen Jian’s face was calm.
He could already imagine the pressure he would face, but he had to do it. The so-called stability of the rear of the battlefield was almost a factor that could determine victory or failure in all wars.
At this moment, Shen Jian seemed to suddenly realize something, and suddenly remembered the time when he was "a lawyer".
His time is cyclical, broken only briefly by the arrival of the leader, but "the lawyer" is an impossible memory.
Shen Jian suddenly realized that his illness could be... ?
But Shen Jian's thoughts were quickly interrupted.
The leader walked up to him.
His military boots fell beside Shen Jian, and he looked indifferently at the entire ship being covered with the world's hardest material, then he ruthlessly grabbed Shen Jian and exchanged positions with him.
Soon, the leader stood at the outermost position, and Shen Jian leaned on his inner side, with no expression, and tapped his sword casually.
Shen Jian knew very well that soon, they would become the enemy of the world.
Even though he was about to... save the world?
The young leader smiled gently, turned his head, and looked gently outside the glass that had long been wrapped in black, as if he could see countless frightened civilians below.
The ink-colored material, like petroleum, covers the glass. The material, which can bear tens of thousands times the standard pressure, is delivered from each micro hole by the machine and tightly held together.
Looking from the outside, it looks like a black whale swimming in the sky.
A very high buzzing sound came from the sky, and the ground was awakened almost instantly. Countless rooms lit up their lights, forming a twinkling yellow galaxy.
"…What is that?" The man in his pajamas opened the window, his pupils dilated, and murmured in shock.
The next moment, he almost screamed: "The flag of the Wuyan Tower—"
"Why is the flag of the Wuyan Tower raised?!"
The civilians who opened their windows one by one looked up instantly, staring in disbelief at the banners overhead that vaguely covered their entire vision. The huge rectangular banners with black and red patterns intersecting with swords fluttered without wind, revealing their sharp edges.
The quiet ground at night suddenly fell into a frying pan, and the noisy voices and the sounds of cleaning up were intertwined. Almost everyone was looking up at the flag.
The last time a major organization’s flag appeared…
The man vaguely thought, it seems that it is time for the leader of the control panel to change?
...Wait a minute, change of term?
Wuyan Tower, change of leadership?
"Is the Wuyan Tower going to be replaced by a new leader?" The man didn't know how to describe his mood. An inexplicable sadness spread. He turned his head to look at his child who fell asleep after staying up late to study, then raised his head to look at the flag.
"But everything is just beginning to develop in a good direction?" the man said softly.
"...It's time for a change of leadership, right?" The short-haired woman walked directly onto the street and whispered to the people around her who were walking out of their homes, her expression becoming complicated.
Her heart ached a little, but she didn't know what to say, so she turned to look at her parents blankly.
Her mother rushed over and hugged her, without saying anything, just holding her tightly.
The leader of the Wuyan Tower had just destroyed the Middle Ages, cleaned up the upper class, and broke through the class shackles. He had just squeezed out everything he had done for the common people bit by bit, and they had just ended the history of being kept as a reserve resource by the upper class, and they worshipped him as a god for bringing all the changes.
This world will be his golden age in the future.
Then……
Wuyan Tower, a new term?
The leader of Wuyan Tower is dead?
The girl looked at the flag floating above her head at a loss, and suddenly felt a sore nose.
She didn't cry. The teacher at school told her that people in Wuyan Tower would never shed tears over external affairs.
But now, she suddenly felt that once the leader of Wuyan Tower died, the cadres would also cry.
At this moment, even though all the civilians realized that the change of power in Wuyan Tower would bring a bloody war, they did not become terrified and move their families away like before.
But then, their chaotic conversation came to an abrupt end.
In the silent, as if expectant eyes of the crowd, the flags of the organizations rising in the sky as if in tacit agreement were reflected.
Colorful flags covered the sky, occupying all the blue. They were densely connected to form a visible alliance, tacitly isolating the Wuyan Tower.
The confrontation only occurred within five minutes after the flag was raised in the Wuyan Tower. Although the gunpowder had not yet exploded in the sky, the flag seemed to have experienced a silent war in advance. The hearts of all those who could see were filled with the shock of watching the changes in history.
——This time, no organization set up defenses in the air.
"Go ahead."
The man held the sleeping child in his arms and whispered, "Go ahead, these fireworks are a tribute to the emperor who has not yet ascended the throne."
"For this beautiful era that seems to have declined before it even existed."
"Fight, we have to." The mother hugged her daughter and whispered, her eyes were still gentle, "Don't be afraid, this war just came too late, we didn't fight it when the leader was still alive."
However, Shen Jian, who was far away in the sky, did not know that as long as he appeared in front of them and simply said that he just wanted to start a war, and not the war that Wu Yanta would spontaneously start after his death, then everything would become very simple:
He would be the new emperor with the highest popular support from the people, but he knew nothing about it.
