Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 441 440. After the preliminary arrangements are completed, the next step is...

Under Sefer's strong control, the four people failed to get on the bus and could only sit in a row in the rest hut next to it.

"I called you here to ensure safety tonight. I guess you'll be busy for a while."

When he spoke directly, Mutsuki was the first to raise his hand: "Teacher! It's a bit uncomfortable for you to talk to us like this. We still want to see your cute side~"

"...In addition to security checks, you also need to conduct external defenses once personnel enter the venue, guarding against potential threats lurking and carrying out final acts of retaliation."

Seifer ignored her and continued arranging the work. Then he said, "This time the task is very heavy, so I applied for a special subsidy for you. In theory, if you spend it frugally, it can be used until you graduate."

Ah Lu suddenly smiled coldly. "How dare you make such a promise to the evil party? The funds needed for graduation are much more than you think."

"Fifty thousand per person, it's not much. After all, it's money that came out of nowhere. If you ask for more, you won't be able to get it out of the account."

"five……"

The four of them spoke at the same time, and then Kayoko tapped her forehead with her hand and sighed: "President, the money is too much, we can't take so much."

"Hmph... hmph, I know that to the evil party, you're offering a bribe. Are you looking down on our business capabilities? The most we can ask for is..."

It's really rare to be so stubborn. Mutsuki was still smiling and saying that so much money was enough to buy Alu and take care of her washing, cooking and cleaning every day.

"Theoretically speaking, I won't go back to the Academy City unless there's something special going on. I might have to stay in the Central Node City for a while."

"You've helped me a lot during this time, so it's only right that I lend a hand... Remember to study hard and find a less dangerous job after you graduate."

After some time, Seifer automatically brought up the idea of teaching and educating people: "The lessons learned before have taught you a lesson. People in the desert rarely talk about human relations or mercy, right?"

Thinking of their previous experiences, the four of them nodded repeatedly... If it weren't for the divine soldiers of Cypher descending from the sky, they would probably have no idea where they were now.

Maybe it is not even complete and I don’t know where it is!

Ah Lu finally realized it: "Huh? Huh? What do you mean by leaving?"

"Didn't I tell you? From the beginning, I was commissioned to come to the Academy City to resolve some unclear matters. Now that things are settled, it's time to continue my work as an independent mercenary."

Seifer spread his hands and said, "Otherwise I won't make any money, and everyone on the bus will starve to death. Don't look at me like this, I still have a lot of people under me."

"Is there such a thing?!"

Ah Lu was completely shocked. While she was swallowing the shock of this information, Ah Lu squatted on the chair boredly: "We have to go... Hey, I want to play for a while longer."

"When you graduate, if you can't find a good job, coming to me... doesn't seem like a good idea. It's not uncommon for an independent mercenary to suddenly die in the desert one day."

I warned them not to try to impress or do anything risky just to be cool, and that if they wanted to live long, they should just find a stable job. The effect of these words was…

Ah Lu suddenly yelled out "Wow!" "The teacher is leaving, and I haven't prepared any gifts yet!"

"My gift..." Cypher thought for a moment and said calmly, "Remember to stay alive most of the time and graduate safely. And don't tell anyone about my true form. How about that?"

Mutsuki grinned, "Is that all? But that's too simple, not interesting at all. We should think of something interesting to give to the teacher."

Don't do anything, just watch me leave quietly, don't play any pranks.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. Mutsuki, who enjoys watching the fun, the president who has his own ideas but will definitely join in the pranks, and the president's yes-man and the common-sense person...

Seifer suddenly looked at Kayoko, who had already taken out her notebook and started writing down her options.

Common sense but the main desire is to keep the group together as normal people.

The future burden would probably fall on her shoulders. Seifer clapped his hands. "Alright, stop trying to make things difficult for me. Now pack up and get ready for work. This car is in high-security mode. If you know too much, something bad will happen."

I drove them all away without hesitation, and only after they were all gone did I contact Dr. Mei to ask about the progress of the car body.

"Don't worry. Adjusting the entire wiring is a huge undertaking. At least we haven't touched your main control cabin interface yet."

The voice on the other end was vague, with a hint of electronic music: "Have a good concert, and prepare supplies for the car. Remember to buy more ingredients for that drink."

Seifer suddenly asked, "How much should I buy at least? Is a bathtub enough?"

"That's not enough. Ten bathtubs would be best, the kind you can soak in and absorb all the flavors."

"Do you think I would do that?"

"I don't need to guess. Don't worry, I can eat it all."

This meaningless conversation continued for a while, and Seifer hung up the phone helplessly - the vehicle was almost at the end of its maintenance and was currently integrating a new armor structure.

It still needs to be repainted… Anyway, it’s a little different from the previous state where you could go into the warehouse and get things or take them out.

Since everything is on track, Sefer can focus on the concert.

Thanks to his mediation, various human resources and materials were mobilized to Central Park...and even with the enthusiastic participation of the students, work efficiency increased exponentially.

Some students who actively joined the scene are also undergoing rehearsals in an orderly manner - after all, not all employees of the entertainment company have problems.

Most people had no idea what the company did specifically. They were simply responsible for celebrity promotion and logistics... These employees were the first to be released.

These people are not very clear about their future prospects, so they can only take one step at a time and work diligently on the job at hand - and then they feel what it means that the Academy City is full of talented people.

Many students can easily take on stage and take on responsibilities with just a little training, and they may not even feel any resistance during the process.

Even more people volunteered to be in charge of security work. Judging from the weapons and equipment they brought with them, they were obviously experienced in combat.

With intensive preparations, the night of Node City slowly arrived.

The venue that was presented to everyone again was much more exaggerated than before.

The stands that previously occupied only one-third of the circle now become directly circular, surrounding the entire stage.

The beautiful lights were being adjusted, and the students who had gathered outside the venue and reserved tickets were discussing this special performance enthusiastically.

What was Sefer doing while everything was bustling with activity? The answer is that while he was busy arranging security personnel, he sat next to Vivi and made preparations for her.

"To put it simply, you are a reserve personnel, a kind of insurance."

"What's insurance?... Hey, I'm protesting! I'm a craftsman, not a singer!"

Weiwei was having her hair pressed down and put on makeup because, among everyone else, only her hair was naturally green, similar to Miss Nana's.

"The insurance is... if the security measures fail and Miss Nana is assassinated by some retaliatory force, you'll be the one to take the blame."

"What if there isn't one?"

Seifer paused and asked the makeup artist to speed up. "That's like watching the performance up close. You're in luck."
