Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 442 441. From another perspective, this is also about to start a fire (rd update)

Sefer's worries are not unfounded, because the number of loyalists in entertainment companies is far more numerous and more dispersed than anyone imagined.

Other node cities, not to mention some that are essentially controlled by entertainment companies - they almost no longer exist.

Before making up their minds to eliminate a company, the business alliance will still play along for a while, considering their reputation and cooperative relationship. But once they make up their minds, they will make a company disappear...

It can basically be done in three or two days.

Even after sharing the company's intelligence on talent plundering and poor use, as well as collecting innocent people to satisfy its perverted hobbies with the Desert Climate Modification Agency, it entered the market directly.

In short, if Sefer were willing to take a look at other node cities now, he would find that the recent level of liveliness is completely incomparable to that of the Academy City.

Countless mercenaries, people who were forced to become mercenaries, and even business people were one-sidedly beating the remnants of the entertainment company, and almost killed them all.

Not to mention those people in the satellite city near the college who organized themselves to get rid of their creditors - after obtaining support from the enterprises, they actually took over the satellite city and are now busy resuming operations, preparing to develop outward based on this place.

...As for why other companies don't step in to take over the assets, there's no need to dwell on the reasons.

Maybe it was looked down upon, or maybe other recovery work was more important, anyway, it was just "ignored".

The number of defeated remnants was small. Most of them chose to flee or find other ways out during the turmoil, especially after the entertainment company was announced to be abolished, they ran away even faster.

So what is left?

They are die-hards who are tempted by the entertainment company's promise of "surviving in the vision for countless years" or other empty promises and try to continue to be loyal.

When the management was in chaos, some of these people sneaked into the college city, intending to do something big.

Although they were leaderless and a bunch of insects, after careful analysis and about five minutes of brainstorming, they all agreed that the company had become like this mainly because the stars recommended by the company were too ostentatious.

If I sneak into the anomaly secretly, wouldn't I be unnoticed? Besides, the company is already in this state, and you, a big star, still have the mind to hold a concert, it's a real betrayal!

...It's hard to understand some people's train of thought, but there are so many idiots in the world, so there are always a few.

During the preparation stage of the concert, students continued to flock to the entrance like a swarm of fish. The temporary checkpoints were busy as they were all carefully checking whether they were carrying any prohibited items.

For example, the Yorozuya team is responsible for one entrance. When the audience comes in, they take out the assault rifles they are carrying. They check and confirm that they are not carrying live ammunition but weapons from the Academy City Management System, and then they let them go.

These daily necessities are very safe and do not need to be confiscated, but packages filled with explosives and the like must be confiscated and handed over to the security department behind the scenes.

The bombs in the academy can stay, and all laser pointers must stay here. Only harmless glow sticks are allowed on the field...

The work is very complicated, but no one is in a hurry, because after watching the concert, it is said that everyone can receive a bottle of limited edition Miss Nana collaboration beer - for free.

If there is no charge, it is not a transaction, and if it is not a transaction, the company will not punish it. However, this behavior of distributing drinks also seems to be tacitly approved by some companies behind the scenes.

In short, everything was in good order, and everyone entered the concert venue enthusiastically and took their seats according to the ticket codes they had applied for in advance...

Looking down from the sky, these people came to the table like a stream of water, while Sefer, who was half lying on the roof, received a call from a financial sponsor.

After the usual indescribable pleasantries, the other party asked where Sefer was and whether he was at the concert.

Red Crossbow: Why are you asking this? Do you want me to broadcast it pirated again?
Chicken Dumplings: Of course! This is the last public performance, I want to see it!
Red Crossbow: Can’t you just find someone to record it?
Chicken Dumplings: It's not that the recording of New Mercenary is bad! Hurry up and go record it, or I'll make trouble for you!

Red Crossbow: Whatever you want to do, you are not in the Academy City, lol
Chicken Dumplings: Oh, you dare to talk to me like that? It seems like you've been doing well recently. But think about it, what if your car breaks down in the desert? Red Crossbow: I'll wait until dark to find a tow truck.
Chicken Dumplings: Really? Are you so confident? Well, I want to tell you, I actually want to decorate it for you!
Red Crossbow: What angle do you want to see? Do you want to be photographed under the skirt?
Chicken Dumplings: What a realistic person! New mercenary, don't become such a boring and realistic person!
Red Crossbow: What are the options? Is there a large mobile base with a main gun? If so, I can send you some private photos.

Chicken Dumplings: Wow, you are such a person, even big stars would be sad if they heard this!

Red Crossbow: Think about it in a positive way, stronger firepower can make you safer, and don't worry, I will tell you who the private message is from.

Chicken Dumplings: Regular! Quick! Remember to record! I have something to do and need to go talk to someone first!

Cypher tried to put a smile on his face with his special skin... The first time he got the upper hand against this rich man was worth remembering.

Then he sat up, holding the sniper rifle in his hand with the zero point adjusted, and aimed at the windows of the tall buildings around him.

Leica's voice was crystal clear in the communication.

"Red Crossbow, I've noticed some people have begun to set up positions. They're likely using technological weapons to attack from a greater distance."

"I'm worried that the target isn't just Miss Nana, there are others as well. What do you think?"

After a moment, Seifer replied, "Don't overthink it. They might just be fools. And what they're looking for isn't necessarily loyalty to the company, but loyalty to someone who's already gone."

As he spoke, he had already put the scope on a guy who was on the middle floor of a nearby building and deliberately hid in the shadow of the corridor to prevent the muzzle of the gun from being discovered.

At the same time, the venue below was already full of people. The dense crowd and the glow sticks in their hands looked like a glowing concave nest.

The lights on the stage began to slowly focus. According to common sense, a warm-up song should be performed next - even the band was ready.

But this time, Miss Nana, who rose from the stage, wearing a shiny, metallic, inorganic-colored, and rubber-textured outfit, did not start singing. Instead, she raised her hand to signal to pause the music.

"Ahem, sound check... Okay, before the show officially starts, I'd like to take up a moment of your time. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you something..."

Miss Nana's unexpected action caught some people who were preparing off guard, and Sefer immediately raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

——The robot does not need to breathe, and there is no possibility of hand shaking. As long as the trajectory is calculated, its landing point will be exactly the same as the predicted result.

The gunshot rang out, and after a slight delay, the unlucky man and the gun in the window immediately flew back into the shadows and disappeared.

Miss Nana, who was expressing her indignation about the crisis and trying to comfort everyone in her own way, suddenly looked up and continued with a smile, "...Even so, there are people who are fighting to the best of their ability to keep more people safe."

"They don't necessarily do it for money, fame, or anything else. There are also people in this world who act purely for the sake of saving others..."

In the communication, Leica sighed: "Big stars just speak at a different level."

"So you like her, Laika?"

"Ugh……"

The only response from Cypher was a sigh that was difficult to describe.
