Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

If you take out a painting, you can see that the scene is constantly changing; the landscape has been replaced by endless iron thorns.

'Wait a little longer, and He will be freed from the painting.'

After making a mental assessment, Xi released it from the painting.

The freed metal man didn't react immediately and continued to release iron thorns. When he saw a bunch of iron thorns rushing towards him, Fang Rui's lips twitched slightly, and he directly controlled the metal man to stop using his powers.

'That's dangerous!'

Xi looked at the sharp metal so close to her and swerved to avoid it.

"Next time, remember to give me a heads-up beforehand, don't do a surprise attack."

Fang Rui ordered the metal man back to his post, looking at Xi as he spoke.

"Okay!" Xi blushed slightly upon hearing this.

Year took out his shield, swallowed all the iron thorns, and then smelted them into iron ingots.

“It’s different from ordinary iron ingots!” After studying it for a while, he gave his assessment.

“It’s normal for there to be differences,” Fang Rui said, after all, it was created by power.

"Is that normal?" Nian asked, somewhat surprised.

"Don't ask me, I'm too lazy to explain..." Without giving Nian a chance to ask, Fang Rui pointed to the hot pot, "The soup is boiling, we can eat now~"

"Put any of your favorite dishes in..."

The vegetables cut by the ice cube person have a built-in freezing effect.

Upon hearing this, Nian immediately picked up the porcelain plate and poured all the food from the plate into the pot, making half red broth and half clear broth.

at the same time……

In the iceberg maze area, after a fierce battle, the group did not continue forward but instead set up camp to rest...

Some of the wounded needed rest, and everyone's energy also needed to be replenished, so some of the teams were eating.

For example, the Guard Bureau had stopped exploring and took out the energy bars and other food they were carrying, and sat on the ice to rest.

"It's a bit chilly on the butt," said one of the Guard Bureau officers.

"You can find something to put under your gloves," the other person said.

"By the way, what flavor are your energy bars?"

"The original flavor energy bars are a third more expensive, so I didn't buy them."

"Original flavor... doesn't that mean it has no flavor?"

"What does it matter? Energy bars are awful anyway, and there's no difference between the original and other flavors."

"Uh……"

Ignoring the conversation of others, Chen was examining the monster's loot: a strange bone, a piece of hard metal...

"What are you thinking about?" Hoshiguma asked, sitting next to Chen and noticing his serious expression.

"I'm wondering what the items dropped by these monsters are for."

"What changes will it bring!"

“First of all, the iceberg area will become very lively,” Hoshiguma said, sharing her opinion.

"Secondly, a bunch of messy organizations will flood into Lungmen."

Swire added, "The Guard Bureau must expand its recruitment, otherwise there simply won't be enough personnel..."

After all, the Guard Bureau is already short-staffed, and if the number of tasks to be handled continues to increase, the shortage of staff will become even greater.

“Recruiting is such a hassle!” Hoshiguma complained. “Given the current situation, if the Guard Bureau were to recruit, there would definitely be a bunch of factions trying to squeeze their people in.”

“Then let’s recruit people another way,” Swire said. “We all have trustworthy people and some friends. How about we bring them into the Guard Bureau?”

“I do know some people who are familiar with some of the Guard Bureau’s methods and basic information, and they can start working after a simple training.”

Hoshiguma thought of her former subordinates, "They were all carrying some kind of burden."

Chen already guessed who Hoshiguma was referring to, but said nothing. Hoshiguma's former subordinates were indeed reliable people, and none of them had caused any serious trouble while following Hoshiguma, therefore...

"I can consider it," Chen said.

"Is that so?" Hoshiguma replied, without much expectation.

“What do you think about us taking advantage of this opportunity to acquire Penguin Logistics?” Swire suddenly asked.

"I think you're joking," Chen retorted directly.

“Unlikely.” Hoshiguma slowly shook her head.

Acquiring Penguin Logistics is impossible. First, Texas and others are unlikely to agree, and second, Wei Yanwu will definitely stop it, since Penguin Logistics is a business owned by a certain penguin.

What's the big deal about poaching from allies and friends?

"Listen to me! When I say 'incorporation,' I don't mean bringing Penguin Logistics' people into the Guard Bureau, but rather entrusting them with certain tasks."

After listening to Swire's words, Chen raised two questions: "First, Penguin Logistics is a courier company, and other types of commissions are not so easy to negotiate. Second, how will the cost issue be resolved? Don't expect to get reimbursed by the company. The Guard Bureau's budget is a bit tight recently, and don't mention paying for it yourself, that's not in accordance with regulations."

"Tsk! You could have just said 'no,' what's the point of saying all this?"

Poetry and elegance criticize Chen for his roundabout and indirect approach.

"I'll explain it to you clearly so you won't make the same mistake," Chen explained.

"Really?" Swire crossed her arms. "I feel like you're doing this on purpose, seizing the opportunity to say something to me."

"I don't deny that I have similar thoughts," Chen replied truthfully.

"Tch! I knew you were doing it on purpose."

"But you can't deny that your suggestion is problematic."

Swire didn't dwell on the matter and steered the conversation back on track: "In that case, what's your solution?"

"No!" Chen continued to answer truthfully.

"How about we throw the problem up there?" Hoshiguma suddenly asked.

The two were taken aback upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, they agreed, saying, "Great idea!"

Just because they have no way out doesn't mean that those in higher positions of power have no way out.

If there's really no other way, then we can discuss it further...

"Mr. Chen!"

Before the three could continue their discussion, a shout came from the side, immediately attracting their attention.

Looking over there, I saw someone running towards me.

"What's the matter?"

"We've made a new discovery: those monsters are wandering aimlessly. We can lure them to other areas and avoid fighting them."

"You mean drones? That's something we could try..." The wealthy Swire didn't care about the financial loss and instead seriously considered whether the matter was feasible.

"Let's give it a try!" After all, Chen's previous experience told him that the newly appeared monsters were not very intelligent and should be able to be deceived.

After a period of rest, the Guard Bureau team set off again. As planned, the monsters were lured away by drones, successfully saving the group from several battles.

However, the same plan didn't work every time. On several occasions, the lured monsters quickly shot down the drones, causing the returning monsters to encounter the Guard Bureau's exploration team...

Looking at the Royal Guard exploration team that had already arrived at the location of the gatekeeper BOSS on the screen, Fang Rui was considering something...

"Do you think we should let them in?" Fang Rui asked, pointing to the live stream screen.

“I don’t think it’s necessary,” Nian said. “Ordinary people don’t need to get involved with giant beasts; it’s too dangerous.”

“As I said before, I’m going to hold a competition, and there are a few good fighters among these people.”

“You can have someone pass on your message; there’s no need to let them in,” Nian continued to persuade.

"Or allow a few people you've chosen to come in."

"You're right." Fang Rui nodded slightly; there was indeed no need to involve unrelated people.

Thinking this, Fang Rui inputted a command into the giant beast fragment guarding the gate, instructing it to stun the others, leave Chen and the others behind, and then put them into the core area after defeating them.

Upon receiving the order, the ice-block people began to emanate cold air, creating terrain that was advantageous to them.

Noticing the Ice Man's actions, Chen and the others did not hesitate and immediately began their attack...

Because the Ice People are extremely cold, everyone resorts to ranged attacks, using guns, staves, bows and arrows, drones, and Originium Arts, making the scene somewhat chaotic.

Amidst the combined fire of the crowd, the ice man shattered into pieces of ice, but before the crowd could rejoice, it returned to its original form...

The restored ice block man did not continue to be beaten, but instead merged into the ice wall, using the ice wall to move and freeze people one by one. Due to Fang Rui's orders, those frozen were not in mortal danger.

Chapter 644 Conversation

Afterwards, Chen and the others were also defeated by the Ice Man, and their necks and below were frozen.

"What are you planning to do?" Seeing the ice block person split into three, carrying them and heading towards the core area, Chen couldn't help but ask directly.

However, the ice man did not answer and continued to move forward in silence.

Later, upon entering the core area, the scene that the three witnessed left them speechless.

Why would three people be eating hot pot in the core area of ​​an iceberg?

"Nice to meet you, Little Dragon Girl, let's have a talk!" Fang Rui said, manipulating the ice block man to thaw the three of them.

Mobilizing his hands and feet, Chen asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Simply put, I'm planning an event with prizes including healing potions for Oripathy, powerful weapons, and other things. Are you interested in participating?"

Upon hearing this, the three frowned in unison. Regardless of whether what this person said was true or not, even if it was a lie, a bunch of people would believe what a giant beast said, and then cause chaos.

"Did you cause the anomaly in the iceberg?" Chen didn't answer Fang Rui's question, but instead asked what he wanted to know.

"Yes." Fang Rui did not hide anything and admitted frankly, "I saw that some people have been exploring the iceberg, so I decided to give them a little surprise so that they would not come away empty-handed each time they explore."

Chen seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Hoshiguma and didn't get to say what he wanted to say.

"What event are you referring to?" Swire asked.
