Early morning.
Mu Shuangye woke up and turned on the communicator. A series of messages popped up, but there was no message from Hayashi River.
"Did this guy stay in the lab for the whole night again?"
Mu Shuang Ye turned around and looked at Lan Xiaomiao who was sleeping soundly at the side. Mu Shuang Ye picked up the little fellow and rubbed her face against her soft little body. "I'm leaving Huo Wan Lake City today ~ I haven't seen this fellow for the past two days. So annoying …"
"Meow …"
Blue Kitty woke up. Looking at the beautiful sister, it stretched and yawned. It thought to itself, "Is Master still busy? How's the plan going?"
The little guy had participated a lot in the plan to rescue the members of the black market, so it was quite attentive.
Mu Shuangye sat up and turned on the holographic screen out of habit. Ding ding ding … A series of hot news popped up.
The first hot news was that Huwan Lake City had cracked an arms theft case, and all the criminals had been arrested …
In the photo, Mu Shuangye saw Ku Luo. She was surprised and looked deeper.
"500 sets of two-star suits were stolen. How dare they … Serves them right!"
Mu Shuangye sneered and looked at other news.
On the side, Blue Kitty stretched its body, and its little ears twitched slightly. "Meow … Ku Luo and the others were arrested. Master's plan had succeeded."
At this moment, the doorbell rang. When it was opened, Hayashi River was standing outside with Huwan Lake City's specialty breakfast.
"You're such a busy man. You know I can't stay here for long, but you still stay in the lab all day …"
Mu Shuangye pretended to be angry. She walked over to take the breakfast and ate.
She was a little unhappy. She always felt that Hayashi River was avoiding her. Or perhaps, in this young man's heart, the one he really cared about was Sister Duanpo.
Hayashi River sat down and explained with a smile. He really couldn't leave. Because of the theft case, the Munitions Factory had asked Master Barce to order another batch of [Rock Blade Speed Suit], so he had to be busy for a few days.
Moreover, the commotion caused by the theft this time was too big. Last night, he even went to the city's garrison to assist in the investigation.
"I know you're busy …"
Mu Shuangye pouted and passed half of the breakfast to Hayashi River. "The Sea-Ao Empire is holding a Mechanic Competition in the middle of the year. Are you going to participate?"
During her stay in Huawan Lake City, Mu Shuangye had learned a lot about Mechanics. The Sea-Ao Empire was going to hold a Mechanic Grand Tournament in the middle of the year, and it was on a scale that was targeted at the Eastern Continent.
Hayashi River nibbled on his breakfast. "I'm not participating."
Mu Shuangye's eyes widened. "Aren't you a genius Mechanic? Why aren't you participating in the Mechanic competition? "
Hayashi River was at a loss for words. He was from the Academy, not the Craftsman Academy, so he would not participate in the Mechanic Tournament.
Of course, it would be difficult for an outsider to understand such an explanation.
The chain of contempt between the three factions of Mechanics only existed within the circle. In the eyes of the outside world, Mechanics were all so awesome.
Glancing at Mu Shuangye, Hayashi River said, "I should be returning to the Sea-Ao Empire by then …"
Hearing that, Mu Shuangye nodded. Actually, this was the answer she wanted to know.
Looking at this girl, Hayashi River sighed inwardly. After pondering for a while, he said, "When you go back, be careful. Tun Kadaan Province probably won't be peaceful for the next two years …"
Mu Shuangye raised her head, a little shocked. She could tell that Hayashi River was hinting at something.
Naturally, Hayashi River would not tell her that he knew about the various arrangements of the Black Net organization in the Sea-Ao Empire. Instead, he revealed a part of the incident with the Mechanical Hive some time ago, which included some secrets.
In fact, the various plans of the Black Net organization did not target the major forces of the Sea-Ao Empire.
Instead, it was a force that colluded with the Black Net organization to target the major forces of the Sea-Ao Empire.
From the secret intelligence intercepted, the shadows of this force could be seen in Grand Star Ao Prefecture, Tun Kadaan Province, Nanluo Province, and a few other important towns …
Mu Shuangye's pretty face was solemn. She was the heir of the Mu family, and in this aspect, her sense of smell was more acute than Hayashi River's.
"I'm leaving."
Mu Shuangye got up. She had to rush back as there was some information that needed to be confirmed.
In the face of such a potential crisis, preparing for a rainy day was the most effective way to deal with it.
"I won't be seeing you off," Hayashi River said.
"You …"
Mu Shuangye was a little annoyed. This man did not have the slightest bit of elegance.
"I still have to rush to the munitions factory," Hayashi River said helplessly.
In fact, he still had to take out two days to secretly go to his first base to open the mineral vein.
Now, Hayashi River wished he could use three people at once. He really was too busy.
"You're rushing to the munitions factory, come and see me on the way …" Mu Shuangye said.
"Uh …"
Hayashi River was speechless. This girl had only been here for a few days, but she had already figured out the terrain. He remembered that she clearly had a slight lack of sense of direction in the past.
"Forget it … you can go. The next time we meet, I'll ask for compensation from you. "
Mu Shuangye pushed Hayashi River out. She could also see that this young man had his hands full.
Closing the door, she leaned against the door and sighed softly. Perhaps this was the price of growing up. There were too many things occupying the mind, and sometimes it was difficult to think about other things.
Outside the door, Hayashi River rubbed the Blue Kitty, stuffed the little fellow into his pocket, and turned to leave.
…
A week later.
The uninhabited area on the west had been renamed to Riptide Base. It had begun to take shape.
The original old buildings had disappeared and were replaced by small huts. The tunnel inside the cliff was also being remodeled.
In the depths of the tunnel, where the mineral vein was located, this place had also changed greatly.
The surrounding rock walls were poured with metal, forming a metal corridor. At the end of the corridor was a metal door.
Hayashi River walked in front. Wherever he passed, the members of the black market would greet him. In their eyes, what they saw was the appearance of the [Phantom of the Void Bones].
In fact, in the early hours of the morning, Hayashi River quietly came here and used the [Materialized Spiritual Energy Membrane] to disguise the [Phantom of the Void Bones].
The main body disguised as a clone …
This kind of thing made Hayashi River grumble. This was clearly his territory, but he was sneaking around like a thief.
Dong!
The metal door closed. Hayashi River and Dusk stood there. In front of them was a valve.
"Meow …"
The Blue Kitty scuttled out of his pocket and lay on Hayashi River's shoulder. Its small eyes looked around curiously.
"Your Excellency Mossy Bone, after opening the valve, do we directly open the mineral vein and endure the energy fluctuations of the mineral vein?" Hayashi River asked Mossy Bone through the headset.
"Of course not. Once an unexcavated medium-sized mineral vein is opened, even a fifth realm powerhouse will not be able to endure the energy fluctuations. You need to use the guidance technique … "
Mossy Bone responded and taught him the incantation.
Hayashi River muttered, 'This guy really had a trick up his sleeve …'
After listening to the incantation, Hayashi River studied it a few times and taught it to Dusk.
"Meow …"
The little Blue Kitty looked at its master, asking, "What about me?"
"The little fellow doesn't need to. If you can't bear it, just protect it," Mossy Bone told Hayashi River.
As for the Blue Kitty's species, Mossy Bone was not clear. However, in its era, some rare beasts directly absorbed the energy waves of the attribute mineral vein.
"Then it's opened …"
Hayashi River stepped forward and turned the valve. After it was opened, the rock wall inside was crimson and exuded blazing heat.
He walked in and closed the valve. Hayashi River did not lock it tightly in case of accidents and could leave at any time.
The inside of the valve was insulated. Even so, the blazing heat still made Hayashi River feel as if the blood in his body was about to evaporate.
"This is before the mineral vein is opened. If it's opened, with my body's strength, can I really withstand it …"
Hayashi River's heart was pounding. Mossy Bone's method was from a long time ago. If it did not work now, wouldn't it be very dangerous?
Then, according to the incantation taught by Mossy Bone, Hayashi River tried to circulate it.
Immediately, he felt a blazing heat flow into his body. The two Psychic Force Locks in his body were opened, and the blazing heat was converted into Psychic Force that spread throughout his body.
"It really works!" Hayashi River was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course it works."
In the earpiece, Mossy Bone's voice sounded. "This conversion method is the result of many gifted lifeforms' practice. What is a gifted lifeform? It is a talent that is different from ordinary people.
"You have [Materialized Mental Energy], and at the second realm, you have opened two Psychic Force Locks. From a certain perspective, you can also be considered a gifted lifeform.
"As for the Blue Kitty, it's the same …"
Hayashi River nodded. Then, he took out a mechanical device that was like a sieve and attached to the crimson rock wall.
This was an activation device with a high degree of safety that he had designed …
"Ding!"
The mechanical device was activated. With a bang, the crimson heat swept over like a wave of flames, engulfing the two people and the cat.
"Damn … this safety factor is not high at all!"
Hayashi River cursed inwardly. He circulated the incantation and absorbed this terrifying fire-attribute energy wave with all his might.
