When endless red lightning appeared in the neon sky, in the center of Asia, in a desert in the northwest of China, a group of people were cheering.
"Successful, this [Zhong Kui] is enough to be used in actual combat!" A middle-aged man wearing glasses with sparse hair and hard-to-conceal dark circles shouted excitedly, his face glowing red at this time, and he waved vigorously. with fists.
"It's a pity that there is only one [Elemental Core]. It would be nice to have more." A young researcher said reluctantly.
"Haha, what are you thinking about, kid?" the middle-aged man suddenly came back to his senses after hearing these words, "It is said that Comrade Wang Yuanheng got this thing from other worlds. It is a head that is at the top of the gold level. The core part of the super mutated elemental Balrog is like shopping in a supermarket. We have been tinkering with this thing for so long and it still has some activity. It can be said to be a real treasure."
"Furthermore, according to our current data, the power of this [Zhong Kui] is enough to kill most of the gold-level people. As a reusable method, it is worth the money. And even though there is no [Element] Core], with the experience accumulated this time, we can produce a batch of heavy artillery that threatens ordinary gold-level artillery, which is also a good result."
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the others also agreed, "We have achieved something this time, mainly because of this 'joint induction locking' technology, which can unite multiple people to lock on to the target with the help of mental power, and the more people there are, the more effective it will be." The better, especially for highly mobile enemies, it is extremely important and can be used in many places, so that our industrial productivity advantage can be put to use."
"Haha, yes, Director, we have made a great contribution this time," the young female researchers with messy hair also started to boo, "We have no other request, just two days off, if we continue like this, My boyfriend doesn’t even remember he has a girlfriend.”
"The last time I called my husband, he asked me directly who I was and how I would deal with him when I got back."
"..."
A group of people were just joking, and no one really wanted to leave, because now is the time to race against time. Ordinary people don't know, but researchers like them know that it is a matter of life and death for the country, the nation, and even mankind. When there is hope, everyone hopes to do more.
"Okay, I will grant you three days' leave when the time comes." Unexpectedly, the middle-aged director actually agreed, "But after two more days, we will further improve the "joint induction locking" ceremony and put the basic Prepare the test data and promote it as soon as possible.”
"Hey, Director, are you really going to give us a holiday?" Many people thought they heard wrongly.
"If you don't want to take a vacation, you can stay with me."
Everyone was happy to hear that they could take a vacation. No one in the institute had taken a vacation for several months. The director kept a calm expression on his face, just reminding everyone to hurry up and do their work, but he felt a little sad in his heart, "Let's all go home and reunite. I don't know if there will be such a stable life in the future."
Naturally, he couldn't say this. It was his maximum authority to give these researchers three days off. There isn't much time to worry or grieve, they have more to work on.
"Shaohua, I don't suggest you do this." Zhou Haize frowned. He had never thought about this, but this would mean that his son was sacrificing his potential. In his position, he has a much clearer understanding of the changes in this era than ordinary people. "The joint induction locking ceremony has now begun to be promoted, and the situation is improving."
"Dad, you know, not at all." In just over a year, Zhou Shaohua now seems to have matured a lot. His hand tightly grasped the gem on the top of the staff and argued with reason, "The effect of the ceremony is good. , but it can only be said that we have some ability to fight back, but it cannot achieve the final effect at all."
"Besides, everyone doesn't actually put all their hopes on that one person, right? The second uncle's LV15 person must be at least number 90."
"Because there are so many people, you are not missing." Zhou Haize's face was expressionless. The second child and Shaohua had always been close, and the confidentiality of this matter was not high in the first place. This can also be regarded as one of the national backup plans. There are many professionals who have broken through to the Silver level in the outer universe, and then centralized support, striving to upgrade to LV15 as quickly as possible, hoping to be the fastest after the upper limit of the Middle-earth universe changes. Enter the golden level and become the mainstay in resisting outsiders. "Now that we are in such a turbulent time, with the trend of the times, you are very likely to go to higher places. Once you break through in the outer universe, there will be no turning back, and it will be impossible in the future." There is no such good opportunity again.”
"But if you can't pass this level, there will be no future!" Zhou Shaohua's tone raised slightly, "Once the situation is really bad, I'm afraid it will disappear immediately. Can outsiders really be reliable? If I break through now, We will catch up and enter the gold level as soon as possible. No matter how bad the situation is, we will still be able to protect our family."
"Moreover, with the first-mover advantage, even though there are some disadvantages after the breakthrough of the outer universe, after all, I can still return to the Middle-earth universe at any time, and..."
"These words are for people outside!" Zhou Haize directly interrupted his son. It is easy to break through to the outer universe now, but this is just a shortcut. From then on, he has the mark of the outer universe. From then on, From then on, the source power of the Middle-earth universe and the invisible fortune that is turbulent at this moment will basically not act on such people. The role of this fortune may seem vague, but Wang Yuanheng's title of "No. 1 in the Three Realms" is in play all the time. The effect is the best expression.
Moreover, at this time, the Middle-earth universe is regarded as an extra-universe creature, and the power from the card gods will no longer be just a help, but more of a restriction.
There was an unspeakable silence between father and son.
After a while, "You don't want to accept his protection? Just because of Li Junqing, you have to bet your future for a woman."
"No," Zhou Shaohua looked at his father calmly, not avoiding his gaze, "Maybe there was once, but now I just want to do better."
"I can't blame others for lagging behind. I can only blame myself. With my background, I should be far more advantageous than him in this extraordinary competition. But now he stands out from hundreds of millions of people and far surpasses me. More than anyone else, this is what he deserves." Zhou Shaohua stood up and looked at his father seriously, "Dad, this is what he earned with all his hard work, just like everything in our family now was earned by his grandfather with an injury. The same."
"I only saw one thing from his information. On the road to transcendence, you must try your best for everything. If you follow the steps, you may have a temporary scenery, but in the end you will not be able to see the higher scenery."
"If it's just mediocre, how can it be called a legend?"
Zhou Haize took a deep look at his son and nodded in agreement, "It will be difficult for you. If you break through in the outer universe, you may lose your biggest advantage."
After getting his father's support, Zhou Shaohua turned and left the study, closed the door of the study, looked at the sky outside the window, and breathed out gently.
"But, if not, I'm afraid I won't even be qualified to be on the same starting line with him."
