The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 300: Long-term rescue leads to

Pfft!

The dragon-tooth soldier monster created to simulate the battle was holding a bone shield and a bone knife. Its dense and sharp edges, as cold as ice, broke through the defensive line built by the servants at a certain moment and pierced into the muscles and bones of Lu Mingfei, who was slow to react, causing hot blood to spurt out.

Although Lu Mingfei could not feel the pain during the simulated battle, his muscles still subconsciously contracted, his heart beat wildly, and his breathing became rapid.

So far, he had completed five questions in this simulated combat system, each of which was a "combat mission" in a different scenario. Some required the examinee to capture ancient fortresses, others to hold the line against the enemy, and still others to protect supplies or hostages during a forced march...

Although it is strange why these scenes are a mixture of different historical periods, from the ancient Roman period to the Middle Ages to the modern times, and what is even more difficult to understand is why entering Chaldea requires advanced holographic technology or virtual stealth technology to conduct this kind of virtual combat test.

But Lu Mingfei still experienced the huge cognitive error that existed before - the world may be a makeshift team, but it is definitely not an electronic game that can be controlled as easily as playing StarCraft.

Even if the combat in the simulated scene lacks some realism, it is definitely not comparable to games that can be operated efficiently with simple mouse and keyboard operations.

Time suddenly stopped. A line of subtitles floated across the sky.

Then the world fell into endless darkness, and returned to normal after a second or two. The magnificent hotel room returned to his sight again. On the other side of the long table, Emiya and Chu Zihang ended their brief conversation, glanced at Lu Mingfei, and filled out something on a document.

He secretly cried out inwardly, "It's over!" His performance was truly terrible. All five "interview questions" were like a rookie's game full of mistakes. Even the relatively simple battle, Lu Mingfei failed because he was unlucky enough to be hit by a stray arrow...

Could it be that the interviewer on the other side has already written a big “unqualified” on the interview result?

"Your interview results are out."

Under Lu Mingfei's intense gaze, every word that came out of Emiya's mouth seemed to weigh as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Your final evaluation is... C-level, assigned to the rear support task force."

“Huh?” Lu Mingfei was stunned, so what it meant was... he actually passed?

Antarctica.

Bright, pure white lights shone into the corridors of the simply decorated Chaldea Institution. The walls reflected a silver glow, and the monotonous yet flawless white stretched infinitely from the floor and ceiling along the chaotically interconnected passages.

The staff members coming and going are in a hurry, seemingly no different from the workers outside, but in fact, except for miscellaneous jobs such as warehouse management, almost all of them are elites carefully selected by forces such as the United Nations.

The pink-haired girl was holding a stack of documents. Underneath her soft, snow-white uniform, like everyone else's, were a pair of slender legs wrapped in black silk. As she passed near the dome of Chaldea, she occasionally caught sight of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows that separated her from the outside world.

Facing the windy and snowy Antarctic world, she revealed a curious look that was different from that of ordinary people. It was as if the outside world she saw was not a cold and ruthless world of ice and snow, but a colorful and magnificent world that had never been explored.

"Kyrielet, what are you doing in the corridor?" asked the blond man who was walking towards them.

"Ah, ah, sorry, Deputy Director!" The girl known as Kirilet adjusted her glasses and quietly moved aside to avoid blocking others' path. "Maybe I've been assigned too much work recently, and I couldn't help but get distracted..."

"Well, it's okay to take some time off from work. And I've been quite busy lately. After a year, the expedition team is coming again - and we're clearly carrying out a cause that will leave a great legacy in human history -"

"No, that's not right. Whether it's the ancients' academic pursuits, the flourishing of religions, the Age of Exploration and the discovery of the New World, or the information technology revolution and deep space exploration, our achievements are far greater than any of these!"

The blond man spoke with intonation and passion, as if he was not chatting with anyone but delivering a great speech to the confused audience, expressing that the Chaldea Organization was undertaking an elegant adventure far beyond the mundane on the snow-capped peaks of Antarctica, which were over 6,000 meters above sea level.

It seemed as if the extraordinary significance of this adventure surpassed all human creations in history, and he himself was deeply immersed in it and could not extricate himself. Only this kind of cause was worthy of his life.

...Although in Kirilet's eyes, the deputy director's appearance seemed very similar to a situation she had recently learned about called "Chuunibyou".

"It's a shame that great achievements are often misinterpreted and criticized by the vulgar world. As a result, our work to safeguard Chaldea's civilization has been subjected to arbitrary obstruction by the scoundrels of the inspection team, and we are helpless... If the situation remains the same as last year, then much of our work will now be subject to oversight. This is undoubtedly a shameful lack of trust and a waste of efficiency."

This is also the reason why Chaldea is busy during this period.

If we do not speed up the process and wait until the inspection team arrives, the added work handover, coordination and supervision procedures will cause the progress of many projects to be delayed again and again.

Caesar Gattuso, this is the name of the deputy director of Chaldea.

He is the director's son, but it is said that the relationship between the two is not good. To be more precise, the word "terrible" should be used to describe it.

Of course, the director's performance was quite poor and didn't leave a good impression. His actions included, but were not limited to, his rumored chaotic private life, his frequent disappearances, and his rare visits to Chaldea. He even angered his brother Frost, who was far away in Italy.

However, Chaldea cannot do without a top management like the director. Frost was managing Gattuso's family and had no time to come over, which resulted in Chaldea being in a state of disarray in the early days of its establishment, and most projects progressing slowly.

The one who changed all this was Caesar, the director's son, who came last year after hearing the news.

The first words he said when he entered the door were:
“I’m very disappointed!”

"—Because I heard that Chaldea is full of elites who can save the world and protect human civilization, but there are too many people here!"

"The true savior elite will never be the majority!"

These words were meant to express dissatisfaction with the chaotic situation in Chaldea, but they also directly offended a large number of people in Chaldea.

It's as if Caesar himself or any of them has ever held such an important position as saving the world for a long time!
In other words, Caesar is the director's son, and this place is at least one of Gattuso's territories, otherwise the workers from various forces around the world would not tolerate this young nobleman.

Thanks to the halo of "the director's son" and his own skills in imperial arts, Caesar was able to command this group of people within the Chaldean system.

"I heard that the United Nations also has investments in Chaldea, and the inspection team's supervisory authority is recognized by all investors."

In response to Caesar's complaints, Kyrielight whispered.

Caesar's tone was indifferent, seemingly disdainful, "...Yes, and its official name is the 'United Nations Monitoring and Inspection Team,' but basically its members are all from various local forces. They're just using this as a pretext to interfere in Chaldea's affairs, while also taking the opportunity to gain benefits." "Let's not talk about that. There's another issue before the inspection team returns: 'that bastard' must come back, otherwise it will be troublesome if the inspection team finds something to use to seize power."

The current director Pompey Gattuso is also one of the people who was called a bastard by Caesar.

Because Caesar was just a "nominal" commander who temporarily commanded Chaldea with the help of the director's son, "deputy director" was just a title and was not written into the institutional charter.

When the inspection team arrives, they will not care about you because they are not afraid of Gattuso's power.

So no matter how much you hate the stud dad, you must notify him to come back at this time.

Gilead nodded. "The satellite communication was sent out two days ago. The director's reply was that we would return today, and he gave the order to 'restart Project Beta' in advance."

"Beta Project?"

Caesar frowned. Since he took over the daily management of Chaldea, he had never heard of a project with such a code name. It was said that Pompey had led several projects when he first established Chaldea, but they were all kept secret and there was no public record.

He knew that Kirielight was special because this girl had been an employee of Chaldea since its inception. Chaldea hadn't been around long, but it had experienced a lot of staff turnover. By the time Caesar arrived at Chaldea last year, very few of the old employees were left. It was unknown whether they had been murdered or had sought other opportunities and disappeared.

Judging from Kirilet's expression, the other party seems to be familiar with the "β Project" and should be a related personnel.

Caesar continued to ask, "Project restart? Is there a specific time and place?"

"It should be today. Project Beta is being carried out in the sealed summoning lab."

Thirty minutes later, Caesar finally saw Pompey in the so-called summoning room, a place whose function he had never known and he had thought was an abandoned house.

Caesar barely suppressed the urge in his heart and did not publicly scold this stud father. Why did he continue to act like a hands-off boss and do whatever he wanted after proposing the complicated and creative Chaldea plan, making himself, who was very interested in saving the world, seem like the second-in-command who was forced to clean up the mess for the stud scum.

"Hey, son! You're finally here. Our great cause is one step closer to a wonderful future!"

The man named Pompey rarely appeared, but every time he did, he had a pretentious charm - he usually used this template to charm those ignorant and brainless women, but Caesar...

He didn't buy it, he just felt disgusted.

"hehe."

Caesar forced a cold smile onto his face, a smile that was a bit chilling. "Our great cause is indeed progressing steadily, thanks to the hard work of many people, but you are definitely not one of them!"

As Caesar spoke, he looked at the facilities in the room. It seemed empty and nothing special, except for the exquisite arcs and patterns formed by the shining lines on the ground.

Pompey reached out and turned on the power of the small console next to him, snapped his fingers, and the patterns on the ground began to glow brightly.

"Son, you seem to be immersed in the great mission of saving the world. While the world-saving mini-game is indeed fascinating, Chaldea is ultimately the inherent property of the Gattuso family. I heard that you've been too demanding this past year, laying off or punishing quite a few undisciplined family members..."

"Really? So you, like that uncle at home, want to run saving the world like a family business?"

Caesar's tone was harsh. He had always been dismissive of the Gattuso family, from which he came. "Okay, very good! But if this business goes bankrupt due to poor management, will that mean the end of the world?"

"Son, you've learned to joke like that!" Pompey was overcome by a wave of emotion, but he wasn't angry. "Don't panic. If Chaldea is gone, there are still heroes who can truly save the world. That hero is the savior who defeated the Black Supreme!"

Caesar paused and stopped talking. Of course he knew who it was. Who else could it be but Emiya?
There were few people in this world he could truly respect, but Emiya was one of them. In Caesar's opinion, if Emiya were to take the position of "savior," he would definitely be able to hold on to it and do his job well. If you ask why, it's because Emiya truly had a long-term savior.

Caesar's active involvement in the work of the Chaldean organization may have been due to his desire to emulate the other party's "great cause."

"...Hey, son, I know you have something against me, but I can't help it!"

Seeing that Caesar was finally silenced, Pompey took advantage of the situation and pursued his opponent:
"You have to understand that as a father, I also had to do hard work behind the scenes. Do you know why the Beta Project was sealed until now? That's all thanks to my independent research!"

Pompeii is often labeled by the world as a playboy and an irresponsible man, but few people would remember that he was actually a researcher with strong scientific research qualities.

Caesar looked at the magical scene of the glowing lines, and his mind was actually a little shaken: Could it be that this stud dad disappeared for many years to do research instead of picking up girls?
No, it must be an excuse!

He stared intently at the strange lines. "Then let me ask, what is the purpose of this abandoned warehouse project that no one cares about?"

"Of course it's useful! It will prove that we have the power to save the world even if a global crisis breaks out! It's not just a simple observation agency!"

"Watch carefully! The power of salvation lies firmly in the hands of our Gattuso!"

[Power is on, initialization completed]

Caesar looked up and suddenly heard the broadcast voice.

[Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System: Fate, summoning process begins]

The patterned summoning array lit up, and a multicolored, interlaced silver-white light illuminated Caesar's face—

He remembered now, this was the Holy Grail War summoning ritual! It was said that in Tokyo, the chosen Master used a so-called summoning circle to communicate with the Heroic Spirits and complete the summoning.

No force can ignore the event with such huge influence after it is over, even second-hand information from unconventional sources will not be let go!

So this is Pompeii's research, where did he get the information? Pompeii disappeared for many years, could he really have gone to collect information about the Holy Grail War and completed the Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique?
Caesar's mind was frantically thinking about everything, but a brilliant light burst forth, and a figure suddenly emerged from the summoning circle, taking away his ability to think.

A Heroic Spirit truly answered the call! Who is that female Heroic Spirit...?
