The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 220 Pre-Battle Supplies
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

As the semester draws to a close, Charlie and his classmates are busy with exams and training, each engrossed in their own tasks.

Although Quanwang has been confirmed as the winner of the tender, even if it is announced to the public, as long as Quanwang has not officially signed the contract, those with ill intentions will continue to flock to it.

The covert activities against Quan Wang intensified, and Quan Wang was so harassed that he was always pale and angry, only able to calm down with the calming tea that Su Ninglong brought him.

Fortunately, Quanwang's team consisted entirely of experienced mercenaries. They were able to see through and perfectly evade more than ten stealthy infiltrations and conspiracies, preventing the other side from succeeding.

"Boss!" Scarface's henchman barged into Quanwang's office without knocking properly; she was changing clothes.

The two exchanged a glance. Quan Wang remained expressionless and continued dressing, only asking calmly, "What is it?"

The scarred man didn't seem embarrassed at all.

Quan Wang's physique was as flat as a man's; he had always preferred the curvaceous, alluring type. He scratched his face and said, "Someone came to the door, saying they wanted to discuss cooperation with Kaibi Star."

"Ha!" Quan Wang sneered. If they had talked before the bidding results were announced, she might have been somewhat interested, but coming now was clearly an attempt to take advantage.

Just as Lei Qingya had warned earlier, although no government officials were openly obstructing her, she would encounter countless troubles.

The situation on Kabi Star is complex, with various forces deeply entrenched and temporarily banding together for mutual benefit. It has become the norm for them to say one thing in public and another in private.

Quanwang didn't care about the visitor's purpose, but with success so close, she couldn't act rashly.

She's a master of playing the human in public and the devil in private.

“Take them to the conference room.” She straightened her collar in front of the mirror and suddenly whistled lightly. If she got the chance, she was sure to get a piece of the pie, and she wasn’t just asking for a slice.

Such meager profits are hardly enough to share among so many mercenaries under his command.

This is why Quanwang is more inclined to side with Suninglong.

In the Gemini region, she didn't have the resources to establish herself independently, so finding a powerful backer was the most practical option.

You can make friends with all sorts of people, but when it comes to a reliable backer, you must find someone trustworthy.

……

On Sunday morning, just as dawn was breaking, Su Ninglong was dragged out of bed by Lei Qingya without any hesitation. "It's time to go."

"Okay, okay." Su Ninglong rubbed her eyes and took the breakfast that Feng Ying handed her. It was specially delivered by Xing Yuan.

Xingyuan still takes care of her three meals a day, simply because she prefers the taste of home cooking, and Xingyuan's cooking skills are indeed unmatched.

She picked up a small suitcase and a large suitcase and followed Lei Qingya to the meeting point.

As she walked, she munched on a flatbread filled with meat and chili peppers, inhaling slightly from the spiciness, yet eating with great satisfaction. When she puffed out her cheeks to greet Lian Xinyi and the others, she looked just like a little hamster secretly hoarding food.

Her appearance reminded one of her when she was four years old, both playful and mischievous.

"Where is Shen Zhaoming?" Su Ninglong glanced around and noticed that there were several more police officers and soldiers in the group.

Song Hu replied, "They set off first; the 'Guardians' need to set up defenses in advance."

"Mmm." She nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After Tong Ziqing counted the number of people and confirmed that everyone was present, he immediately ordered them to set off.

The group boarded the starship, passed through the magnificent stargate, and finally arrived at another commercial planet located on the edge of the Gemini stars.

As soon as they disembarked from the starship, military vehicles were already waiting to pick them up.

The journey was smooth, but it still took nearly an hour to reach our destination.

Su Ninglong took a nap on the way, and it wasn't until she got off the bus that she truly realized what kind of place she had arrived in.

Looking around, there was a desolate flat area, overgrown with weeds, a scene quite similar to the land in the Cultivation Garden.

What's different is that a huge square building stands in the center of this wasteland, covering an area of ​​100,000 square meters, and it is imposing.

“It would take quite a while to run from one end to the other,” Lian Xinyi muttered to herself as she raised her binoculars to observe.

Suddenly, his movements froze, and a swollen pig's head flashed in the camera's view, extremely inhuman, yet strangely walking upright.

"I... I'd better not look." He quickly put down the binoculars. "I'm afraid it'll get contaminated before I even get inside."

He then turned his attention to the Star Alliance camp, where there were ten times as many people as the Star Alliance. The place was bustling with noise, and some people were even shouting, "Where is the stuff?" The scene was noisy.

"Teacher Tong, could you please gather everyone together? I have something to share with you all." Su Ninglong said, lifting the curtain of the tent marked "Number Three" and walking inside.

Tong Zi was slightly taken aback, then realized that Master Su and Su Ninglong had probably joined forces to create some incredible sacred artifact again. She immediately turned around and dragged Charlie and Sally, who were about to join in the fun, back with her.

The tent was equipped with air conditioning, making it much more comfortable than the slightly smelly environment outside.

Su Ninglong opened her travel bag and took out her gear one by one.

As a teammate of the Treasure Ancestor, his equipment naturally cannot be rudimentary.

Once all the team members and support staff had entered the tent, Su Ninglong activated the soundproofing device and then gently tapped the objects on the table with her slender fingertips.

"These are all for you. They were all completed last night and need to be collected after the competition. Time is limited, so I'll just give you a brief introduction to their functions."

This time, each participant was given three additional pieces of equipment: an eye recorder, a defensive robe, and three spell runes.

“This eyeball was crafted by Shen Zhaoming and me together. It was actually completed a month ago, but to test whether it would be contaminated, we deliberately placed it in a highly polluted area of ​​Gemini for half a month before retrieving it.”

"It hasn't mutated, and the recording function is working perfectly. Turn it on before you enter the contaminated area. Although it can't capture footage synchronously, Lei Qingya can use it to monitor your vital signs in real time."

“If you feel you’re about to collapse and reach a dead end, use this talisman.” She gently pushed one of the talismans. “Tear it open, and the Qirui will be able to pinpoint your location and lead you out of the contaminated area. But be careful, this is an abnormal exit, so time it right. Just because you tear it open doesn’t mean the Qirui will definitely save you.”

"If you are already contaminated during an abnormal exit, you will be immediately sent to an isolation pod. Lei Qingya will make you lose consciousness. You will not wake up until the contaminated area is cleared. If you wake up prematurely, you will be tracked by the 'Filthy Feast Spirit,' which may even cause the blockade to fail and the contaminated area to expand." "In addition, these two talismans contain a spiritual fire power injected by Master Su. Use them with extreme caution. Once the spiritual fire is activated on living beings, it will be devastating."

Everyone knows that these two talismans are clearly aimed at the hunters of the Star Alliance, to prevent them from playing tricks, so they should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Lian Xinyi, standing to the side, was so envious he looked like he'd swallowed a whole lemon. He couldn't resist reaching out to touch the talisman, but Xuanxi slapped his hand away. "This was prepared for us by Master Su," Xuanxi glanced at him, "Don't touch it."

"Master Su's magic talisman must be incredibly powerful. I really want it. Will you sell it later?" Lian Xinyi muttered to herself.

"Don't overthink it, this thing is very difficult to make." Su Ninglong shook her head. "Just achieving the linkage with Qirui took a lot of my effort."

The five team members carefully took the three talismans. The light-looking papers felt incredibly heavy, like three miniature missiles. The action of "tearing the talismans" seemed simple, but in a highly tense or crisis-ridden environment, it was the easiest thing to make a mistake. For a moment, they didn't know where to put them properly.

After everyone had put away their magic talismans, Su Ninglong began to introduce the next piece of equipment: the defensive magic robe.

"This set of robes is mainly designed in consideration of the possibility of unpredictable mental monsters in the contaminated area. It can resist mental attacks to a certain extent and help you maintain a stable SAN value, which will reduce the pressure on Charlie and Sally."

Charlie and Sally are still inexperienced and weak, and even with Lian Xinyi sharing some of the pressure, it is still easy for something to go wrong along the way.

Su Ninglong specifically enhanced the spiritual protection of the robes to ensure their safety as much as possible.

According to the plan, after entering the contaminated area, Charlie and Lian Xinyi will lie in the healing pod, where Lena and another healer will continuously care for them.

For ease of movement, the robe was designed as a two-piece set, and its appearance is no different from the most common T-shirts and sweatpants on the market.

However, its surface is exceptionally smooth, with a delicate pearly luster.

Even more ingenious is that the fabric is woven with faint runes and magic circles, which are almost imperceptible unless you stare very intently.

As everyone put on their robes, all eyes were drawn to the chest area of ​​the shirt, where a slightly flamboyant "Su" logo was printed.

"Master Su is quite the player," Song Hu couldn't help but chuckle.

Lian Xinyi's gaze was resentful, and his sour emotions were not enough to express his feelings at the moment. He had to say something to comfort himself: "Is it possible that Su Ninglong actually added this unnecessary detail?"

"As expected of Lian Qiuqiu, you guessed right, it was my idea." Su Ninglong put her hands on her hips, looking righteously as if she had done it.

Lian Xinyi could only touch her nose and laugh awkwardly, "After you come out of the contaminated area, can I wear this robe and show it off for a while? I don't mind if it's second-hand."

Haha, no matter how pitiful Xin Yi looked, no one paid him any attention.

Finally, there's the eye-shaped video recorder. It certainly looks a bit ugly, but it's the most important safety feature for everyone. Despite its unassuming appearance, it carries the crucial mission of real-time monitoring and emergency communication.

Eagle Bone frowned, picked up the eye-recorder, and hesitantly clipped it to his robe. The moment he touched it, the eye trembled slightly as if it were alive, then extended a fine, mycelium-like membrane that quickly and firmly adhered to the surface of the robe, eventually completely melting into it.

It was as if a "human eye" had truly appeared on the robe, with a clear pupil and even faint blood vessels visible. The lifelike appearance was so unsettling that it sent chills down one's spine.

The artificially created scene of utter devastation finally stopped when its eyelids slowly closed.

Of the six people in the team, apart from Su Ninglong, who was already used to it, the others were all a little stunned for a moment.

Zhaopiku said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I feel like we're not going to eliminate the Mystic Spirits, but rather to blend in with them so we don't stand out too much?"

“The robe itself can resist distortion and contamination, which also provides an extra layer of protection for this eyeball,” Su Ninglong added in a normal tone.

Yes, yes, yes, you provided the sacred artifact, so you're right, and no one on the scene dared to refute you.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the tent, and a corner of the curtain was lifted. Charlie reacted quickly, running to open the door, and there was Yun Fei.

He looked at the team members inside the tent, who had already changed into their uniforms, paused for a moment with a subtle expression, and then said, "You guys... changed into your team uniforms so quickly?"

The design of this team uniform is really hard to describe. It's a bit like loungewear, and when paired with slippers, it looks exactly like a leisurely old man taking a walk after dinner.

Yun Fei decisively ignored their appearance and went straight to the important matter: "The Guardians rarely go out, and this time they are suffering from motion sickness due to the long journey. The competition will be postponed for one day."

A moment of silence fell over everyone: "..."

Everyone knows that the Commander is the most crucial link in the entire operation.

After all, they are four-star spirits, and they all possess some strange abilities. Without a guardian to stabilize the boundaries, if a spirit escapes into the commercial district, it may cause large-scale mental pollution.

Su Ninglong didn't care much. Her team was small and consumed few resources, so a one-day delay wouldn't be a big deal.

So they actually wore those "old man's style" team uniforms and slippers, swaggering around the camp, openly scouting the equipment of the Star Alliance.

Several young people even brought out small stools and sat directly on the open ground opposite the Star Alliance, watching and discussing in hushed tones.

Charlie exclaimed, "Wow, is that the latest pulse gun?"

Xuanxi squinted and examined it: "Qian Rujin's cane... the head seems to have been changed. But Teacher Tong's cane is still cooler."

Lian Xinyi murmured from the side, "Handsome? That's called 'inhuman,' okay? It's creepy just looking at you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than "Ouch!" A peanut hit him squarely in the face.

Lei Qingya's voice came from behind: "Can't you speak properly?"

"He only knows how to bully me..." Lian Xinyi rubbed her face and muttered softly, but she didn't dare to complain loudly anymore.

Charlie exclaimed in a low voice, "My God, they've brought in another batch of new weapons, they look like bombs! So many, are they planning to blow everything up and take us all down with them if they can't win?"

Eagle Bone glanced at it and calmly explained, "That's not a bomb, it's a 'Heaven and Earth Shrine.' I heard that this batch has doubled its ability to collect secret spirits."

"How much is one?" someone asked curiously.

"Five hundred star coins."

"Storage capacity has only doubled, but the price has increased fiftyfold??"
