Xingtie, the lazy girl wants to rebel

"I can't even fathom my own emotions. How could this little dwarf be so sure that I would feel pity for her at that moment?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Heita finally narrowed his eyes and curled his lips into a cold smile:

"Humph! I was careless for a moment, and I didn't expect to be tricked by a little dwarf!"

"From now on, if I meddle in other people's business again, I will be that guy's puppy!..."

Chapter 68: Retire after success and return to the fairy boat.

Just when Heita decided to let go of his desire to help others and respect their fate.

Qingque's operation has already come to an end:

Carrying a bag full of game peripherals, she leisurely visited all the booths in the exhibition hall except the company's booth.

Wherever she went, she took photos and checked in, blending into the crowd with a smile on her face, just like an ordinary game enthusiast.

"Well, it's almost there!"

Qingque weighed the bag in his hand, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"These exhibition photos and peripherals are enough to prove that I came to Hot Night City just for this game exhibition!"

"Now no one can say I'm suspicious!"

"We, Qingque, are good citizens!..."

After taking a short break at a stall, Qingque turned around to look at the still bustling exhibition hall, chuckled softly, and happily decided to go back to the hotel to rest:

"Satisfied! Satisfied!"

"Call it a day! Call it a day!..."

Qingque strolled out of the venue without changing his expression, then boarded a rented aircraft and returned to the hotel along the same route...

After returning to the hotel room, Qingque checked everything in the bag one by one. After confirming that there was nothing missing or problematic, he began to pack his luggage.

When everything was sorted out, Qingque finally felt relieved and lay down on the bed to take a short nap.

When it was almost time to depart, Qingque followed the same route she had taken originally, returned to the star port of Hot Night City, and boarded the star chariot flight back to Luofu Fairy Boat.

After several hours of travel, Qingque finally returned to the Luofu Fairy Boat.

Standing in the square at the center of Xingcha Sea, Qingque looked at the fairy boat in the bright sunshine, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and a feeling of being in another world came to his mind.

She couldn't help but recall the dazzling scene she had seen in the Hot Night City, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"Alas... the scenery of the Immortal Boat is still the best!"

"As soon as I stepped onto the immortal boat, I felt relieved!..."

"The neon lights of the Hot Night City are indeed shocking at first glance, but after looking at them for a while, they become incredibly depressing! After all, it's not a place to stay for long..."

After expressing his feelings, Qingque picked up his things and returned home as if he was familiar with the route.

As soon as she entered the door, she handed over some strange-looking gaming peripherals to her mother as gifts.

"Mom! Look what I brought you back!"

Qingque smiled excitedly and handed over a strange-looking octopus figurine.

Her mother frowned and looked at the strange-looking thing with disgust:

"Where did you get this scrap?"

"Can this be considered a gift?"

But even though she said unpleasant words, her hands still took it involuntarily.

"This is a limited edition peripheral from the Hot Night City Game Expo!"

"The players over there are fighting tooth and nail to get it!"

Qingque boasted about his trophy to himself, and at the same time introduced it to his mother in a serious manner:

"Although my family doesn't believe in any religion, I still brought this foreign god back to our family!"

"What's the name of the Great Compassionate Cthulhu Bodhisattva?"

"I heard that after you worship it, you can hear its call!..."

"What are you listening to? Is that the sound of water in your brain?!"

Her mother looked disgusted and glanced at the strange figurine with a squint.

"Please keep this kind of dirty stuff in your own room and don't pollute my eyes with it!"

"Oh, Mom! This is a limited edition! The hottest item at the game show!"

"I spent a lot of effort to get it! ..."

But no matter how much Qingque praised it, her mother still felt intuitively that it was not a good thing, and in the end Qingque had no choice but to put it by her bedside...

Afterwards, seeing that he had almost finished communicating with his mother, Qingque stretched out his body and pretended to be tired:

"Mom, I'm exhausted from the long journey. I'm going back to my room to rest first!"

"If it's nothing important, please don't disturb me!..."

"Well, you run harder than anyone else all day long, and you still feel tired!..."

Although her mother muttered something, she still let Qingque go back to her room.

After returning to his room, Qingque quickly locked the door and at the same time vigilantly used Yu Zhao to confirm the surrounding situation.

After ensuring that there was no surveillance or abnormality, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing in the center of the room, she took out the ether coin, raised her hand, and used the ether editor to tear a passage in the void.

A light blue data light flashed instantly, and a passage was slowly opened.

As the passageway expanded, the exquisite puppet in the black tower was slowly released from the etheric space and landed quietly on the floor of the room...

Originally, if it was just for safety or to destroy the body, Qingque could have just thrown the Black Tower puppet into the ether space and never taken it out.

However, the reason why Qingque still took her out was because she had a question about the Black Tower that she wanted to get answered.

That is, why can the puppets in the black tower also use destiny energy?

As we all know, the so-called destiny walkers are people who walk on the path of destiny and gain strength from it.

Therefore, among the Black Tower and her hundreds of puppets, only the Big Black Tower can be called a destiny walker who can draw energy from destiny.

After all, it’s impossible for the Big Black Tower to create hundreds of Destiny Walkers alone, right?

Isn't she afraid of draining her intellectual destiny?

Therefore, Qingque believes that there must be a mechanism.

The puppets controlled by the Big Black Tower can use the Big Black Tower's [authorization] or [transfer] or other mechanisms to allow her puppets to absorb the energy of destiny.

Otherwise, how can we explain that the puppet in the black tower can hit people with diamonds that are taller than humans at any time?

Then, with the doubts above, Qingque approached the black tower doll and began to examine it carefully with his arms folded...

I have to say that the workmanship of this doll is indeed exquisite.

Except for the ball-shaped joint, everything else is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Qingque's fingertips brushed across the doll's shoulders and stopped at the heart:

"Could it be that there is some special device in here that can transfer or store destiny energy?"

Qingque frowned, puzzled for a moment.

"How about...I take her apart and see?"

……

Chapter 69 It’s time to launch a surprise attack.

Although Qingque had the idea of demolishing the black tower, after considering it again and again, she regretfully gave up the idea temporarily.

Firstly, she currently knew very little about the technology of the Jin people or machinery. If it was disassembled suddenly, she was afraid that when she reassembled it later, there would be too many parts and it would not be restored in a short time.

Secondly, she didn't have the tools to dismantle the black tower in her room...

You can't let her tear it apart with her bare hands, right?

That's a bit too outrageous...

Now that she has successfully obtained the technology of ether editing, the most important thing for her now is to resolve the company's financial war against Xianzhou.

Only in this way can Jing Yuan completely break free from the constraints of the so-called overall situation and completely remove the rotten sore on the fairy boat of Lingyun family.

Although Qingque had temporarily left Xianzhou in the past few days, she had actually been following the progress of the financial war in Xianzhou through the interstellar Internet.

And just as she had predicted, the financial war is still at a stalemate:

On the immortal boat side, Jing Yuan was in charge of the overall situation, defending cautiously and taking every step carefully.

The company is very offensive, but in terms of resource allocation, its firepower seems relatively scattered.

Qingque instinctively felt that this was most likely the work of Fu Xuan.

For this kind of chess game where both sides are in the open, Fu Xuan's divination and planning are at an astonishing level!

But even so, the battle between the two sides is still like a tug-of-war, and their respective resources and chips are being exhausted bit by bit.

So far, both the company and Xianzhou have basically used up their previously stored ammunition.

At this point, both sides were no longer able to defeat the other through frontal attack and defense.

Therefore, both sides have begun to seek foreign aid.

On the Luofu side, Jing Yuan naturally sent contacts to all the nearby immortal boats.

On the company's side, because this action was taken independently by the Strategic Investment Department, it did not receive strong support from other departments for a while.

When friendly forces are in trouble, you remain as still as a mountain...

There was no other choice, so the Strategic Investment Department had to reduce its resources in other places and extend some of the due debts in other star regions, thereby gathering a considerable amount of funds again.

Soon, we will be involved in a new round of financial war with Xianzhou...

After sorting out the current situation, Qingque began to criticize Jingyuan in his heart:

"At this time, if we use Jing Yuan's words,"

"Isn't it time to [use a surprise attack]?"

"So, you mean, you want me to sneak across Yinping and take a chance?"

A smile appeared on Qingque's lips, and he looked down at the black tower doll lying quietly on the ground:

"But before that... you still have to find a place to hide."

She carefully dragged Heita up from the ground, put her hands around her armpits, and hid her in the corner under the bed.

"Anyway, mother wouldn't normally look in this place!"

"Wait until I'm done with this important matter! I'll talk to you about it later!"

After doing all this, Qingque stretched his muscles and walked to his host computer and sat down.

She gently placed the blue-glowing ether coin aside, and the air around her seemed to be filled with a hint of tension.

The so-called financial war may seem to be without gunpowder, but it is essentially still a war.

As long as there is a war, it is inseparable from mobilizing the enemy and attacking the enemy while rescuing them.

Only in this way can we seize the initiative in the situation.

So here comes the question:

What exactly does the company, or the strategic investment department, value most?

The answer to this question is actually not difficult to answer. The answer to some questions lies in the meaning of the riddle.
