Chapter 720 Revealing Strength, Encountering Ying Zijing on the Spot [1st Update]
The steward has quite a bit of knowledge about this place called China.
Although information between the world's cities and the seven continents and four oceans has been isolated and cut off for many years, they are still all on Earth.
As a top family in the world city, the Leinger family also needs to gather information from other places.
Shanghai is quite famous as one of China's major international cities.
But who will win?
The butler racked his brains for a long time but couldn't find a single clue.
Of all the international families, he had only heard of the Laurent family.
Firstly, because the Laurent family monopolizes the global economy, and secondly, because there are branches of the Laurent family in the World City.
“Yes, the Ying family.” Su Wen’s tone was somewhat grim. “And O Continent, investigate from the sea exit.”
The team that accompanied Lu Yuan on his mission back then was the most elite guard of the Lyinger family.
Later, news came that not only had Lu Yuan disappeared, but the entire guard team had also been wiped out.
Including Lu Yuan's personal bodyguard, Qing Lang.
In terms of combat power, Qinglang is definitely at the level of the commander of the four major knight orders.
But he still died.
Ying Zijin was right; things were more difficult than she had imagined.
Besides the Sage's Court, Suwen couldn't think of anyone else.
But she had to keep investigating.
Sinai also wanted to know who sent the message containing Lu Yuan's seal that she had received.
If it's an enemy, it proves that this message was just to lure Sinai out so they could attack her.
Suwen's expression darkened slightly.
Deep down, she knew it was impossible, since she had buried the baby herself, but she still couldn't suppress the strange feeling in her heart.
Upon hearing this, the steward hesitated for a moment: "Madam, after you fell into a coma, our family sent people out of the city to investigate, but they found nothing."
The technology of the seven continents and four oceans is already lagging behind that of the world's cities.
Twenty years ago, we had just entered the 21st century, and the internet was not yet widespread.
Even with high-tech tracking devices, it's difficult to find any useful clues.
"Moreover, according to the instrument's estimation at the time, the patriarch definitely did not leave the City of the World." The butler pursed his lips, feeling very distressed. "The chip malfunctioned, data was lost, and we cannot determine whether the patriarch is dead or not."
Su Wen's eyes turned cold, and her voice suddenly became sharper: "He is not dead!"
The butler looked horrified and knelt down again: "Madam, I misspoke."
"Alright, go investigate as soon as possible." Suwen looked away, a hint of weariness in her eyes. "If you can't find it, keep investigating."
Even if you try to erase every trace of something that has already happened, there will always be some things you've overlooked.
The butler acknowledged the order: "Yes, Madam."

The next day.
The Academy of Engineering posted a new round of experimental projects.
There are two S-class experimental projects: one is the laser weapon project led by Ying Zijing, and the other is the new type of transportation project led by Bi'er.
There are still a few Level A and Level B experiments remaining.
Bi'er looked at the announcement screen and pursed her lips.
She has been working at the research institute for many years, and only last year did she receive her first S-level experimental project.
But Ying Zijing has only been here for a little over a month, and she has already reached the same level as her.
It's no exaggeration for W.com to describe Ying Zijin as a dark horse.
“Bier, Mervin has disappeared without a trace.” Mo Feng frowned. “The eight A-level assassins from the Black Base have also vanished without a sound.”
Bi'er's expression changed: "The Black Base?"
The Black Base is the shadowy force of the World City, gathering many assassins.
These assassins had also taken on jobs to assassinate members of the Lyinger family, but they were ultimately unsuccessful.
“That’s right. I heard that the person in charge of the Black Base has changed in the last two days.” Mo Feng added, “Don’t go anywhere else these days. Go straight back to the Lyinger family from the research institute, just in case something happens.”
Bi'er's expression became more serious, and she nodded: "Teacher, I understand."
“S-rank missions and A-rank missions are not on the same level.” Mo Feng naturally knew what his disciple was thinking. He said calmly, “The failure rate is as high as 90%. This time, your teacher will select team members for you, and the last time will definitely not happen again.”
Bi'er said happily, "Thank you, teacher."
"And what about your family's affairs..." Mo Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Wen, but he didn't dare to confront her, so he didn't say anything more. "Let's go."
at the same time.
In the laboratory.
Ying Zijin has received a total of one hundred application forms from students to participate in the experimental project.
Without any hesitation, she forwarded all the application forms to Dean Norman and asked him to help her select them.
“Ah Ying, Ah Ying.” Sinai called at this moment, “The dean also sent me the experimental data, and I will send you my insights.”
"Okay." Ying Zijin nodded. "How have you been lately?"
Sinai's cheerful tone immediately wilted: "It's alright, nothing special, I—ah!"
Ying Zijing's expression changed: "What's wrong?"
Sinai, inside the villa, immediately covered her eyes and shouted, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?!"
Although the alchemical drugs affected her nerves and changed her personality.
Even if her body has shrunk, she is still an adult woman.
"Why aren't you wearing one? Isn't this a yukata?" Norton half-squatted down, raised his hand, and casually ruffled her hair. "Kid, you have a really strange focus."
“I remember you used to read fashion magazines. Besides, you're just a kid, what's there to be shy about?”
As he said this, water was still dripping down his hair.
It flowed down her collarbone, chest, and abdominal muscles, finally disappearing into the yukata that wrapped around her strong waist.
At such close range, she could even feel the warmth emanating from his body.
Sinai's face turned bright red instantly.
Can you really compare a magazine photo to seeing it up close?
Norton, however, did not notice.
He had already stood up and taken the phone.
"Hey." Norton's somewhat lazy and cold voice came through, "I have something else to tell you. Yesterday, Sara convened a meeting of sages, and I attended it as well."
Ying Zijing's attention was also diverted: "Hmm?"
"They're saying a second holy war is very likely to break out soon." Norton shrugged. "Anyway, I'm not participating. They're really daydreaming. They want me to be their henchman?"
Only Ying Zijin can order him around; who else is worthy of doing so?
"The Second Holy War?" Ying Zijin narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. "I understand, at the end of the year."
Norton raised an eyebrow: "You'll be back to your full strength by the end of the year, that's pretty fast."
“Not at my peak.” Ying Zijing paused for a moment. “I’m still missing one thing.”
"Tell me about it, and I can help you look for it in the Sage's Abode. But what are you doing?"
"To conduct experiments."
"Tsk." Norton stroked his chin. "I say, you've really changed careers? From theology to science?"
Ying Zijing raised her eyes: "Can't I play both?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Norton quickly admitted his mistake, looking rather lazy. "I'm going to cook."
Ying Zijin: "...When did you learn to cook?"
“Oh, I just learned it,” Norton said, “but my skills aren’t very good yet.”
Ying Zijing then remembered Sinai's cry earlier and frowned: "Didn't I tell you that her body was shrunk? She's an adult now."
“What? But she’s just a child right now.” Norton said indifferently, “I don’t distinguish between men and women. Children are for playing with. Here, take your phone.”
Sinai picked up her phone again, tears welling in her eyes: "Ah Ying, he bullies people, and his cooking is awful."
Ying Zijin pressed her head down.
She could only ask Sinai to be patient.
After ending the call, Ying Zijing began sketching the laser weapon.
She wasn't particularly interested in weapons, but she could bring them to Wen Tinglan when she returned to China.
**
This way.
Dean Norman received Ying Zijing's email and was on his way back to the research institute.
But just then, a giant, out-of-control robot suddenly emerged from the side of the intersection.
Screams erupted from the surrounding area.
By the time Dean Norman realized what was happening, he didn't have time to retrieve his weapons; the giant robot was already hurtling straight toward him.
Dean Norman's expression changed, and he secretly realized something was wrong.
Although he regularly exercises, this giant robot is made entirely of rare metals.
If his old bones were hit like that, he'd be paralyzed.
Dean Norman instinctively dodged to the side, bracing himself for being hit.
But he actually used the building next to him as a foothold and jumped up.
Dean Norman was initially stunned, but quickly recovered and instantly pulled out a laser cannon, blasting it at the giant robot.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the giant robot instantly turned to ashes, which drifted and fell to the ground.
Holy crap!
Dean Norman was even more bewildered.
How did he avoid that out-of-control giant robot?
It was as if some inexplicable power erupted from his body, making him feel much lighter.
Dean Norman scratched his head.
If he hadn't been so clear-headed, he would have thought it was because he had watched too many old martial arts dramas with his granddaughter the night before.
He took another look, his expression gradually becoming serious, and quickened his pace to the research institute.
Dean Norman only breathed a sigh of relief after arriving at the laboratory.
"Teacher," Ying Zijing noticed the abrasions on his arm, "Are you injured?"
"Hey, it's nothing." Dean Norman waved his hand excitedly, "My disciple, I can fly!"
Ying Zijin: "..."
As the saying goes, like teacher, like student.
Sinai's personality after shrinking probably resembled that of Dean Norman.
"Teacher, I'll teach you a few self-defense techniques." Ying Zijing put down the documents. "Take a close look. Although the attacks aren't strong, they make it easier to escape."
At Dean Norman's age, it's too late for him to practice ancient martial arts.
"Oh, okay." Dean Norman placed his hands on his knees. "You do it."
The next second, he saw the girl defy the law of universal gravitation, lightly touch the ground with her toes, and fly directly into the air.
In just a few seconds, we went from the left side of the laboratory to the right side.
This laboratory is very large, measuring 300 meters in length.
Ying Zijing stopped and patiently asked, "Teacher, did you see it clearly?"
Dean Norman: "..."
He was dumbfounded.
Is this the skill level of his disciple?!
He rubbed his hands together: "Hey, how about a billion more times?"
Three hours later, Dean Norman collapsed to the ground: "I'm not coming, I'm not coming."
"We'll continue training tomorrow." Ying Zijing handed over another piece of candy and gave him a pep talk, "Teacher, good luck!"
Dean Norman: "..."
He finally realized that this wasn't candy.
**
Three days later.
The largest annual auction is held at the Laurent auction house.
There are only 3,000 tickets available for the live show, so many people won't be able to attend.
But Bier is used to doing live streams, and netizens flocked to her live stream early in the morning to see the items up for auction.
The popularity lost last month has also recovered quite a bit.
Bi'er finally found some comfort.
During the live stream, a striking, bold, and large red comment suddenly popped up.
Move to the right! Move to the right!
More comments followed.
[Quick, quick, a little to the right!]
right?
What happened on the right?
Bi'er was stunned.
She didn't quite understand, but her hand unconsciously adjusted the camera.
The previously quiet comments section suddenly became active.
【Ahhhh, I saw it! I saw it!】
[Where did Miss Ying buy this outfit? It's so beautiful! Her waist, her legs, and her bust—wow!]
Miss Bi'er, come closer.
Bi'er's expression changed.
She turned her head and saw Ying Zijing and several other students coming in through another door.
“Group B’s test flight ceremony at the end of last month was a complete success, so the instructors in the academy gave Group B tickets to the Laurent Auction House.” Bi’er said calmly, “The academy gave us Section B, and I’m in Section A. I won’t be able to bid for any more tickets in a little while, so let me give you a few more to bid for now.”
Zone B and Zone A differ by only one level, but the difference is significant.
Second-class citizens are not eligible to buy tickets for Zone A.
"Sigh, that's true. Although Miss Ying is very outstanding, her background is still a bit lacking."
There are only a handful of women in the elite circle, and it's incredibly difficult to break into it.
Bi'er simply pointed the camera at the girl and zoomed in.
Thank you to the reader who reported this to me. A BL novel on Shudan plagiarized Ying Huang and changed Ying Huang's gender to male.
When I went to check it out, the synopsis had already been changed somewhat. The first version was exactly the same, and even the divine calculation ability had been copied.
This author really has the nerve to say that you thought about it for a long time and finally figured out the plot :)
