Thinking this, he turned his gaze to Pado, saying nothing, but his eyes conveyed his thoughts.
"The communications equipment company was registered by Sister Snake some time ago, and its operation and sales are in cooperation with several forces."
Upon hearing Paddo's words, Exusiai, who was standing to the side, was stunned. There seemed to be something strange about those words. It sounded as if she was saying that the communicator company was owned by her family.
Exusiai glanced at the two with a slightly strange look, but didn't ask anything. She continued to eat her fish balls and waited for the call to connect...
"...Is there something you need?" After the call connected, the penguin didn't waste any time with small talk and went straight to the point.
"Boss, someone has asked us to deliver a message. The recipient is a patriot from the Reunion Movement..."
Before Exusiai could finish speaking, a certain penguin interrupted, "If you're willing to take it, the price is two million."
After saying that, the call ended with a "beep" sound.
"Uh..." After a moment of hesitation, Exusiai put away her communicator and looked at Fang Rui. "You heard me! Are you still going to deliver it?"
“Of course I’ll deliver it.” Fang Rui nodded slightly to indicate that the price was not a problem. “Ursus is very dangerous. You should go back to Penguin Logistics and discuss it with your colleagues before deciding whether to help me deliver the message.”
Regarding the message, Fang Rui wanted to tell Patriot something, asking him to hold back during the attack on the mobile city-state so that the Rhodes Island people could retreat smoothly. He also wanted to let him know about Talulah's situation and give him a choice.
If Penguin Logistics refuses to deliver the message, Fang Rui has a backup plan: send some people to Chernobog, the target of the Reunion Movement, to keep watch.
"Okay! Let's exchange contact information." Exusiai raised the communicator and waved it a few times.
"Hmm." Fang Rui nodded slightly and exchanged contact information with him.
After finishing the fish balls and paying, Exusiai left and returned to Penguin Logistics to find others.
Fang Rui and Pa Duo continued shopping. Longmen has many entertainment venues, both legitimate and illegitimate...
Of course, these informal entertainment venues are hidden away, and it's impossible to find them without someone in the know leading the way. After all, the leaders of both the underworld and legitimate businesses dislike certain forms of entertainment, which leaves no room for such entertainment in Longmen.
Fang Rui's gaze swept over the shop signs, guessing the businesses based on the names: "Gambling, KTV, jewelry, massage, clothing..."
"To be honest, there are a lot of shops."
“Indeed.” Pado agreed. She hadn’t paid attention to the number of shops when she came out alone before, but today she found that there were really a lot of shops.
"Do you want to buy something?"
"No need." Fang Rui slowly shook his head. After wandering around Longmen for a while, Fang Rui realized that it would take a bit of luck to bump into certain people, so he decided to go home to rest and prepare a letter.
Regardless of whether Penguin Logistics agrees to deliver the letter, it must be prepared.
Meanwhile, Exusiai returned to Penguin Logistics, only to find the living room empty; everyone was busy with their own things.
She didn't call her colleagues, but only sent them a text message to tell them about it. While waiting for a reply, she took out her tablet and searched for information about the Reunion Movement online.
"...There isn't much detailed information! It's all just speculation from netizens, and..."
Exusiai stared at a news article, thinking, "It feels a bit fake, not quite real."
Before she could think about it, she heard the communicator vibrate, and Exusiai's attention was immediately drawn to the lit-up interface on the communicator.
The pop-up message was Texas's reply: Okay, I have no objection.
"Texas agrees, Croissant should agree, and as for Sora, she should be able to come along if she has free time."
As she was saying this, Croissant's reply came, and just as Exusiai had guessed, Croissant agreed.
Only the empty reply has not yet arrived...
"Speaking of which, Kongyou said that she has rehearsals today, so her reply will probably be a little late."
Meanwhile, the penguin that hung up the phone sent a message to Wei Yanwu and Lin Gerui.
"Send a message to the Reunion Movement?" Upon receiving the message from a certain penguin, Wei Yanwu raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise. He knew a little about the Reunion Movement, after all, he was intentionally collecting information from various countries, and someone in Ursus had been spying on Lungmen.
However, he did not have detailed information, such as detailed information about Patriots.
"Clang! Clang!" The sound of fingernails hitting the table was crisp. Wei Yanwu pondered the specific components and combat roles of the Reunion Movement...
It was information that Wei Yanwu did not have, and the fact that the other side had actually sent scouts to Longmen to gather information was also unexpected.
but……
"If they were scouts, why would they use Penguin Logistics to transmit information? And by directly mentioning the Reunion Movement, it's practically a deliberate hint that something's wrong..."
As he said this, Wei Yanwu took out the documents recording the Integration Movement, and began to think while reviewing the information...
On the other hand, Lin Gerui didn't think much of it and immediately sent people to investigate the matter.
"Regarding the recently arrived infected individuals, investigate where they came from. If they are from Ursus, investigate their specific movements in Lungmen, and also inquire about the Reunion Movement."
Upon receiving the order, some of Lin Gerui's subordinates immediately began investigating the matter...
Firstly, it must be a legitimate entry, which requires checking with the Imperial Guard Bureau. You'll need to ask Wei Yanwu for help with this, or hand it over to him to handle.
Secondly, there are those who entered illegally. These illegal immigrants still live in slums, and these are the people Lin Ge Rui is responsible for investigating.
Unaware that his few words had kept the rulers of Lungmen busy, Fang Rui returned to Mebius's company.
The two, engrossed in their research, did not come out to talk and remained busy in the lab. Pado was watching a live stream on her computer; it was a wilderness survival show.
In Terra, wilderness survival is quite hardcore, given that the wilderness is home to Originium Bugs and various wild beasts.
Besides, those with bad luck might even encounter natural disasters, as well as mercenaries and illegal organizations.
"Is it good?" Fang Rui, who was designing the "monster," tilted his head and looked at the computer screen. He could see a person riding a bicycle, with a swarm of Originium Bugs chasing behind. The shaking of the screen and the sharp screams all indicated that the streamer was in a bad situation...
“It’s not good!” Pado shook her head slightly. “I’m wondering why he left the mobile city to venture into the wilderness…”
"It's probably for the sake of making money. It's because the wilderness is full of dangers that so many people watch survival shows."
Fang Rui's gaze shifted to the upper left, where he could see that the number of viewers had already exceeded ten thousand and was rapidly increasing...
“This person…” Pado pointed at the computer screen, “is a rich second-generation. He’s got everything prepared, from vehicles to weapons… but…”
"He's stupid! He's not very capable, and his mental fortitude is terrible!"
"The reason for the live stream is probably to gain attention and praise."
Pado's assessment was very direct, as if she were relaying someone's words.
After a moment of silence, Fang Rui asked, "...Are these words what you wanted to say, or did you hear them from someone else?"
“It was Snake Sister who said it,” Pado replied.
'I knew it…' Fang Rui thought to himself, how could a cat be so sarcastic?
Then he discovered a problem.
"Mebius watches the live stream?"
Mebius, who is completely focused on his research, actually watching a live stream with Paddo? That's outrageous!
“Yes,” Pado replied. “Every time Snake Sister doesn’t leave the lab during mealtimes, Klein pulls her out and sometimes watches the live stream with me while we eat.”
“…I have a new question.” Fang Rui’s tone was quite serious. “Can Klein persuade Möbius? Can he pull her out of the research lab?”
"Yes, we can, at least for now," Pado said with certainty.
After all, she had seen it several times before. To be honest, when she saw Klein call Snake Sister out of the research lab, she was truly shocked!
"Is that so?" Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly. It seems that Mebius has changed!
Some things are only appreciated after they've been lost!
Without saying anything, Fang Rui continued with "monster". Considering that the people exploring the iceberg were not very strong, he set the strength of "monster" to the level that a team of fully armed mercenaries could handle. After all, it was a consumable, a "monster" that could regenerate as long as its core was not destroyed, so it did not need to be very strong.
In addition, the "monsters" will drop some items, which are of some value. Depending on the attributes of the "monsters", the dropped items will also vary. This setting alone is enough to retain those companies and people from various countries.
After setting the sculpted monster aside, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the Originium worms on the screen. The Originium worms had all sorts of strange appearances, and he could make a few special ones and place them in the iceberg, choosing pure Originium and special metal ores as the dropped items.
With that in mind, he took action and created a bunch of strangely shaped Originium worms.
After a while, Fang Rui calculated the quantity and felt that the number of "monsters" was enough, so he stopped making more and took all the "figures" to the iceberg area to put them into the iceberg one by one.
Considering that the core area of the iceberg might be breached, Fang Rui placed a "special figurine" in the core area.
Chapter 640 Exploring the Iceberg
On a night brightly lit by neon lights, Pado watched the live stream in her bedroom. Fang Rui arrived alone in the iceberg area, and none of the people guarding the area noticed him.
The core area of the iceberg is completely empty, surrounded by azure ice crystals, and a chilling aura permeates the air.
Arriving at the center of the icy cave, Fang Rui placed the exquisite model of "Benares" there. The moment the model came into contact with the ice crystals, the model, which was originally the size of a palm, rapidly expanded and became a giant dragon tens of meters long in a few seconds.
Benares curled up, fast asleep, and would not awaken unless disturbed.
As for how to awaken "Benares", it is actually very simple. In the game, when players enter the BOSS's aggro range, they will disturb the BOSS and attract its attention.
In other words, when someone enters this cave, they have already disturbed Benares. If he stays for more than two minutes, Benares will enter a period of awakening, and it will take three minutes for him to fully awaken.
Simply put, the explorers only have five minutes to escape.
"Generally speaking, in stories, dragons are the guardians of treasures, and their caves contain all sorts of riches!"
Fang Rui looked at the empty cave and imagined the scene: a group of mercenaries tried every means to defeat the "monsters" along the way, and arrived at the BOSS's room covered in wounds, only to find that there was nothing else in the room except the BOSS.
"It's really a bit tragic. Let's leave something here!"
As he spoke, Fang Rui conjured a pile of "red gold" in a corner of the cave, followed by some special ores, and then a weapon with excellent Originium Arts conductivity...
Considering that some people's Originium Arts can increase movement speed and conceal their presence, Fang Rui left a mark on the "treasure." If the treasure is taken away in an abnormal way, it will awaken the dragon.
Next, they explored other areas within the iceberg. Although Fang Rui had prepared several passages for explorers to reach the core area, some lacked the ability to defeat the monsters blocking their way, thus prompting them to forge new paths…
The solution? Drill holes in the iceberg using a drilling rig…
Neither Yan Kingdom nor Longmen intervened; they simply watched the performance.
I want to see if the behemoth will be awakened.
Considering the safety of ordinary citizens, Wei Yanwu did evacuate them; the excuse was easy to find…
For example, when the monster attacked Lungmen, it caused some problems within the city-state, requiring repairs, and the residents had to temporarily reside outside Lungmen for a few days.
Those with money can travel directly to other towns.
In Terra, even with Originium Bugs, various ferocious beasts, and natural disasters in the wilderness, the development of tourism cannot be stopped, so there are relatively safe routes connecting to other cities.
Those who had no money or were unwilling to leave stayed in the temporary camp prepared by Wei Yanwu.
As for the fate of those who tried to dig a hole in the iceberg, it can only be said that they were unsuccessful.
