Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 485 484. Looking at the bright side, at least they really intend to do some work...

There are various reasons why no company or individual has reached the Arctic yet, including geomagnetic anomalies, harsh climate, sunlight, etc.

And the sand is not pure sand - don't forget, the sand in this world contains energy. After all, it is a kind of thing that has been baked by the sun for too long and is essentially a fine mineral powder.

If these things scrape against the car body or the aircraft body for a long time, they will actually be constantly subjected to tiny energy impacts. Even the alloy armor may become fatigued and damaged...

Anyway, there are so many things going on, and you have to be on guard against some people coming to settle accounts with you or cause trouble for the company.

The formal invitation to find Seifer was to have him do security work at various forward nodes and protect the exploration teams on those routes.

Privately, there were a lot of messages like "Mercenary, since you have so much free time, why not use your initiative to run back and forth? Anyway, you don't want to go to the Arctic, blah blah."

This kind of work was relatively easy, just running back and forth like transporting goods. Seifer agreed because he wanted to make some money to maintain the vehicle, support the people on the vehicle, and save money to go to a big city (referring to the central node city).

After finishing the formal matters, Ms. Jin Junmei suddenly looked at Miss Nana.

"Regarding the entertainment company, we have reliable intelligence indicating that the fugitive has also entered the storm's orbit."

Although she has collected a complete set of high-definition videos of Miss Nana's performances, when facing her in person, Ms. Jin Junmei remains calm, as if she would not be afraid even if a huge cannon exploded next to her.

It even made Sefer suspect that she might have facial paralysis.

"The fact that he's been able to escape until now means he still has something to rely on. Be careful when operating within the storm's circle. If you find any clues, you can directly contact the nearby Phantom Mist Group units and ask for their assistance."

Miss Nana stood up suddenly. "So that's right! See, my first instinct was right. I knew he was a good person!"

Then he waved: "Hello, I am Nana, who was trained by the company to perform to make people happy. Of course, now I am an ordinary person who follows the conductor to see the world with my own wishes~"

Even though she was making such a fuss, Ms. Jin Junmei only nodded slightly, and then continued to let Dr. Mei stay in the Safe car. She said that this was called making preparations for both situations, in case something unexpected happened on either side and she couldn't continue to advance some plans.

It's that... plan to improve the desert environment.

"You are free to leave, or visit the rest area. No need to report, just remember to make travel preparations."

After saying that, Ms. Jin Junmei lowered her head and continued her work, as if she had lost interest in everyone in front of her.

However, Cypher turned his head slightly, looking towards the empty space in the room. The message in the communication box in front of him was not so quiet.

Durian: It’s so boring. I’m so bored, new mercenary. I’m so bored working here every day. Please find me some fun.

Red Crossbow: We are face to face, why do you still need to send messages? Can't you just talk directly?
Durian: This is called a sense of ritual, don’t you understand? It’s like when you go out to restore order and scold those stupid guys, would you use your real name?

Durian: If you can use your language skills, don't use your identity. It's not good for long-term development. New mercenary
Durian: The big star has his eyes full of you now. Tell me how it feels to use it on the big star. Is it completely different? Do you feel conquered?

Sefer was somewhat helpless. You know, a cold joke must first be compatible with Yu Yan. The language spoken by people in this world is not in the same language system as his own, so telling jokes is too difficult.

So he decided not to tell her, but said that he was busy now and asked her to contact him through the communication if there was anything, and then left without hesitation.

There was a series of messages flashing on the communication screen, but Seifer pretended not to see them. At the same time, he waved to Miss Nana to come over, so that she would not stay with this strange guy and be contaminated by strange knowledge.

Shengnai had been watching the development of things quietly. After he was able to move freely, he reported to Sefer and said that he wanted to visit the medical station here.

Since she said she can move freely, then let her move freely. It's still safe here anyway, unless some blind mercenaries come here to cause trouble...

How should I put it? Just thinking about it seemed impossible. While there were idiots in the world, challenging so many companies as an independent mercenary was pure performance art. The huge carriage was packed with people. Those from the Phantom Mist Group were incredibly busy. Even the corporate mercenaries resting at the depot were taking time to read the news.

After taking Miss Nana for a walk, Seifer suddenly returned to his previous office and knocked on the door.

A beam of light lit up on the door, and then it opened. Ms. Jin Junmei, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up and said calmly, "You're back. Sit down."

Miss Nana was the first to run over, looking curiously at the small 3D device on the table. "This... is so exquisite, and what's playing inside is... my concert?"

In the small device, a miniature Miss Nana made of holographic images was singing and dancing. If I remember correctly, it was during the curtain call performance at the Academy City.

“Playing some music occasionally helps with work and sitting.”

Let the two of them sit down - by the way, where did Dr. Mei go?

"The mission just now was a surface mission. Now I'm going to give you an internal mission. First, disconnect your external communications."

Seifer shrugged, indicating that it had been disconnected. Then, the device in the room made some slight noises. Ms. Jin Junmei raised her head slightly, and seeing that he was still sitting and seemed unaffected, she nodded.

"It's consistent with what Amei said. It's not an ordinary mechanical backup. Has the connection to the mercenary support system been disconnected?"

"It's disconnected. To be honest, I don't usually log into that system unless I need to take on a mission." Seifer thought for a moment and added, "Is this incident related to the mercenary system?"

Ms. Jin Junmei replied calmly: "It's very important. The information is here. Take your time to read it."

Putting a bound paper document on the table, Miss Nana immediately leaned over to take it, handed it to Sefer, and rolled her eyes.

"Rather than...watching a video, how about I sing it live for you? The captain told me that the main force behind the destruction of the entertainment company came from the Phantom Mist Group."

"And then, you're the top leader of the Phantom Mist Group. In other words, you also have a big part in saving me from that inevitable despair!"

In response to this, Ms. Jin Junmei just nodded lightly.

However, what Seifer received was a message like, "Hehe, did you see that, mercenary? This is all my credit, why don't you say thank you quickly? And then tell me what's so good about being a superstar."

It's really a bit unbearable.

However, with her permission, Miss Nana moved a chair and sat down next to her, then cleared her throat, found a song suitable for singing, and began softly.

Like accompaniment to music, Ms. Jin Junmei gestured to Sefer to look at the document.

...Forget it. People in the desert are not normal. It is normal to have a leader who appears to be as cold as a quietly burning flame, but is actually a cyber troll behind the scenes.
