Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 469 468. Since I can’t avoid it, I can only go along with it
Cypher's first reaction was 'You're crazy,' and then he realized what was happening.

Apart from those guys who sent me messages for no apparent reason, threatening me or asking for favors, there was only one guy who used different names to contact me.

After confirming that it was Jin Junmei, his head sculpture's face was clearly twisted into an expression of disgust. At the same time, Miss Nana came up from behind the chair.

"What, what? Is there some strange external communication coming in?"

"He's... a very difficult guy. He's very generous with his money but very difficult to get along with. Then she said she would come to see me, and in the near future."

After answering, Cypher maintained that disgusted expression: "Leica, help me block the channel, then adjust the course, and we'll take a slight detour."

Tien, who was seriously considering how to increase the speed of the car with a single click, or how to make it swing faster, turned around and said, "Changing routes? I suggest you don't change them. If you want to go around again, take the northern route."

That's still not appropriate. Sefer thought about it and said, why not go south first, bypass the group of people on the route, and then go straight to the node city from the south?

The answer is that it is too late. In order to conceal its presence and divert the attention of those who were following and chasing it, the car had already traveled some distance on the open waterway.

Now, either you have to bite the bullet and head west, continuing to enter the areas closest to the central node city as planned, or turn around and go back.

Returning would be the most disadvantageous, so after thinking it over, Seifer sighed helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, it's just bad luck that I bumped into him."

"Besides, as long as she's not chatting online, I think she should be normal... In theory, she should be normal."

Seeing how reluctant he was, Miss Nana became even more curious.

Tien readily said it was no problem, and everyone continued to do their own things.

At this time, several people from the technical department suddenly came to Sefer and said that they wanted to borrow Miss Nana and asked her to help explain the requirements, etc.

Seifer also stood up. As soon as he left his seat, Tien started yelling, "Why did the driver run away first?"

"What you're saying is, can't I give orders anywhere in the car?"

"It's one thing for all those people to go to jail together and for me to go to jail alone, watching the road."

"So you chat with the juniors on the lookout?"

Tien opened her mouth in disbelief, and after a moment she said, "I never touch minors."

So you're the typical flirter in college, right?

Seifer was a little speechless and decided to ignore this guy's advice and let her drive honestly. Then he went to the experimental cabin with Miss Nana. When he entered, he saw that everyone was busy, as if this place had become a technical department.

"Where's Dr. Mei?" Pointing to a place and asking Miss Nana to go over, Seifer asked casually, and Xiaotao and her sister over there shuddered.

Then he reluctantly said that it was probably in the bathroom...as expected.

Miss Nana was the first to run over, then stood next to Momo and told her what she wanted. At this time, the other three were busy, and only Xiang was sitting in a wheelchair at a distance to rest.

It was a rare occasion that she was not wearing noise-canceling earmuffs. Instead, she covered her ears with both hands, squinted her eyes slightly, and seemed to be listening to something.

Seifer handed her a drink he'd picked up from a restaurant while passing by. "Thank you for all the hard work you put into this. Are your ears uncomfortable from wearing these noise-canceling headphones for so long?"

"No, it's just... a little personal habit of mine."

Xiang put on his headphones again. "The sounds of the muscles in my palms and my blood vessels, along with the steady and gentle heartbeat, make me feel relaxed."

"Especially since I just rewrote a lot of programs that need to be adjusted."

She said these somewhat terrifying words quite calmly—this was the quietest member of the technical department, who mostly kept silent and even ignored her presence. "Then you take your time to rest. I'm here... Tsk, why are there more messages?"

Perhaps because she was not busy with work while driving, there was a lot of news about Ms. Jin Junmei today, although most of it was nonsense and gossip about how far she and the big star have come.

Can't we ask someone other than a big star, or is this person actually a die-hard fan of Miss Nana?
Severe was fed up with being harassed and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Red Crossbow: Don’t you have anything more important to do?

Fried Banana: How dare you greet me like that? Actually, I'm quite busy. I'm in a meeting right now. But you, mercenary, are more interesting.
Fried Bananas: Interesting things should be watched, talked about and played more, otherwise it would be boring, right? Mercenary, is my car useful?

...All of the above, there is nothing that Sefer can't think of and nothing that she can't talk about.

But the problem is that she hasn't mentioned anything about the ball until now, as if she has never received any information and is simply here to have fun with Sefer.

The entire voyage that night was spent in this torment, so much so that after arriving at a node city, Seifer said without hesitation that he wanted to get off the car for something and then cut off the communication.

Leica followed the procedure to confirm the channel and apply for a parking area. When she applied for a special parking area, she suddenly turned around and said, "Red Crossbow, I don't recommend letting others get off in this node city."

Before she finished, Tien turned around and said, "I want to go downstairs and have some fun. I think you should satisfy my request, right?"

Seifer flipped through the Node City's self-introduction. It looked like it was a Node City controlled and established by a small company, and its characteristic was that it owned a considerable share of various types of alcoholic beverages brewing and bottling factories...

After a moment's thought, Seifer suddenly asked, "How much liquid funds do we have left?"

After deducting the cost of daily maintenance and purchasing various miscellaneous items for the staff, the income and expenditure were barely balanced. Since Seifer himself did not consume any supplies, he could even make a little extra money.

Adding to the various bounties, Seifer did have some savings, even after paying off the fines for the predecessor Red Crossbow's long-term failure to renew his license!
Therefore, the next step should be to improve the quality of life to the next level. As long as Sefer likes, he can choose whatever young girls he wants in various relaxation places.

...Just think about it.

Tien whistled, and after the vehicle stopped and started to connect, he immediately ran away after Seifer agreed, and disappeared in an instant.

Assuming they had already arrived at the node city, Seifer was not idle either. After confirming the local customs and habits, he thought for a few seconds and suddenly contacted Dr. Mei.

"Does our sponsor usually drink alcohol?"

"What do you mean by not drinking?"

"That's troublesome. I was planning to bring two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes."

Not knowing why he suddenly said this, Dr. Mei thought for a moment and said that his partner only liked interesting things. If Seifer really acted boring...

Maybe at some point they lost interest in Sefer, and the subsequent support and other things would probably be gone.

...There are many weirdos in the desert, so one more won't hurt.

Considering that the Central Node City only had the advantage of being developed earlier and having a giant anomaly, Seifer glanced at the dazzling array of alcohol advertisements and decided to buy some.

The warehouse is so big, it would be a waste to leave it empty. It would be better to make full use of it and buy some local specialties.

Once I get to the central node city, I can still trade it and earn some money for the trip - the ore I bought at the mine that time did subsidize the car.

You just have to be careful and watch out for some drunks in the car... otherwise there might be nothing left when you get there.
