Ark, I became a mobile city, but the moon city

"Your Highness? What are you thinking about?"

At this time, behind Theresa, Kal'tsit opened the door, walked in, and asked Theresa.

Theresa didn't answer. She was silent for a moment before she spoke:

"...I'm still thinking about that deal with K Company..."

"Does the news the doctor brought back interest you so much?"

Kel'tsit shook her head helplessly, then sat down next to Theresa. Theresa also straightened up, no longer staring at the sparrow in front of the window.

"I was indeed a little curious... I wanted to ask the doctor what kind of people those so-called leaders in the city were, but unfortunately, even she had never met the leader..."

Theresa let out a light breath, a helpless smile on her face as she spoke. Kel'tsit fell silent for a moment, and after a long pause, she spoke softly:

"So, your plan is..."

"Actually, I want to go to the city and take a look."

Theresa's eyes flickered, and she suddenly spoke these words to Kal'tsit.

"...You always make me wonder whether I should dissuade you from taking such a risky action."

"It's okay, Kelsey."

Theresa smiled and continued:

"Besides, this isn't a particularly risky move... In the city, the majority of the population is still Sarkaz. They're currently active near Kazdel and are considered our partners. If we visit them directly, there's no reason for them to harm us..."

"But they did make deals with Tracy after all."

Kel'tsit reminded Theresa with these words. But Theresa just smiled.

"But the Doctor has been there too. There were no problems, right? He's been through so many dangers. There's no reason to be afraid of a place like this..."

"What's more, judging from the current situation, the city is more like a neutral existence."

After hearing Theresa's judgment, Kal'tsit was speechless for a moment.

She remained silent for a moment, then seemed to have figured something out before she finally sighed and said:

"Your Highness feels that... the city has been developing too rapidly recently, so you want to go there to confirm the situation?"

Theresa nodded.

"I can't hide it from you."

"...If that's the case, you must have already made up your mind. I'm afraid my persuasion will be of little use."

Kel'tsit said this, looking up at Theresa. Theresa smiled triumphantly, but soon her expression turned worried.

What is the current situation in the city?

She had to think about this.

Although the company they had been dealing with all along was only K Company, which was merely a wing of the city...but the position of the city itself was undoubtedly worth considering.

It would be best for them to maintain a neutral stance. Otherwise, things might get really dicey in the future.

If possible, Theresa even hoped that the city would be more inclined towards them in certain aspects...

Thinking of this, Theresa let out a sigh.

"Let's go, Kal'tsit. Let's get ready and head to the city."

........................

Meanwhile, on the other side, Da'at was still leading Skadi around the city.

"where are we going?"

Skadi raised her head and asked Da'at, but Da'at just smiled and said softly:

"Going to a place called Lobotomy Corporation...ah, I haven't done a systematic self-introduction yet."

"I'm from Lobotomy Corporation, and my main business is energy. Therefore, the place I plan to take Skadi to is naturally Lobotomy Corporation. However, since it's a newly established company, it might be a stretch to provide some basic food, accommodation, and work..."

Da'at said this with an apologetic smile on his face. As Skadi watched this scene, for some reason, she even had the urge to go up and smooth over Da'at's expression...

“That would be great…”

Finally, driven by some impulse, Skadi spoke somewhat clumsily. Unfortunately, due to her relatively low emotional intelligence, the words she spoke were quite unconvincing in terms of comforting others.

"Well... then for the next period of time, Skadi will work at Lobotomy Corporation and temporarily obtain the most basic living security. Then I will go with you to find Miss Laurentina. Is that okay with you?"

But Da'at smiled nonchalantly, his expression returning to normal as he asked, counting on his fingers. Skadi nodded quickly, pounding garlic.

"That's fine... Then, let's go."

After receiving this assurance, Da'at secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and walked towards the Brain Lobotomy Corporation.

And Skadi followed Da'at step by step until the building complex appeared in front of her.

"Next to it is the staff dormitory, which is currently mostly empty... Come on, follow me in and meet your few colleagues."

Da'at pointed to several different places to Skadi and introduced them one by one. Then, with a happy expression on his face, he walked into the door of the extraction area in two steps. Skadi was stunned for a moment and then also walked into the room.

"X! I'm back!"

Da'at shouted happily, and then a cold voice came from the corner:

"Come back with someone?"

Da'at gave a wry smile, and at the same time, Skadi saw the black-haired, golden-eyed man in the corner, looking up. He had a calm expression, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been working overtime for several days and hadn't gotten a good night's sleep...

"I met him on the road. He was having some troubles. Coincidentally, the company is short of staff right now, so I thought of bringing him back to show you..."

“Not everyone has that ability.”

X sighed, as if blaming Da'at for his naiveté and carelessness. Then, he fixed his gaze on Skadi, causing her to straighten up.

I don’t know why... I always have a feeling.

If the person in front of me sees me being so careless, what kind of problems will arise...

"…Are you interested in extracting EGO?"

But in the end, after staring at Skadi for a while, X tilted his head and just asked her this question.

Chapter 72: 70 In this way, Skadi’s life was trapped by the bad woman

"Are you interested in extracting EGO?"

X looked at Skadi and suddenly asked such a question. At that moment, Skadi's mind turned a corner.

Although the child is a little silly, he is not stupid after all.

Is this to show your own value?

He seems like a very strict person. If he can't show his value and be recognized by the other party, he will probably be driven away...

This thought flashed through Skadi's mind, but just as she was about to speak with a serious expression, Da'at's slightly dissatisfied voice rang out from behind her:

"Hey, X, she's a guest after all, and she has her own problems..."

"But since you're applying for a job, you should demonstrate your value as an employee. Otherwise, there's no reason for Lobotomy to pay this expense."

X lowered his head and continued to work on the task at hand, speaking meticulously.

Da'at was silent for a while, then lowered his head and whispered to Skadi:

"It's okay... That guy X is just like that, a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I'm not willing to help you, but if I can talk him through it, it shouldn't be a big deal..."

"No, no need. That would be too much trouble for you. We've only just met for the first time, and you've already caused so much trouble..."

Skadi's face seemed to turn slightly red for a moment, and then she quickly spoke. However, she soon saw the worried look from Da'at:

"But... do you have anywhere else to go? I've already been a good person, so I might as well help you until the end..."

With these words, Skadi was completely inspired to think about the current situation.

At least I shouldn't let Miss Da'at continue to worry... Isn't it better to show my ability and prove that I am qualified for this position?

This would not only stop X from saying anything more, but also prevent Miss Da'at from worrying any further...

So, just like that, Skadi stood up and looked intently at X in the corner...

It was from this moment that Skadi was completely trapped.

One person played the bad guy and the other played the bad guy, each using their own advantages to cleverly stimulate Skadi's own psychology, and easily trapped Skadi here.

From a perspective that Skadi couldn't see, the corners of X's mouth were slightly raised.

He was now quite certain that Skadi would definitely stay at Lobotomy Corporation. He had gone to so much trouble to ensure that Skadi would be willing to stay and work at Lobotomy Corporation.

"Hello...your name is X, right?"

"What do you mean by extracting EGO? I'm confident I can master most things and become competent quickly..."

"I'm a researcher. I don't believe anything until I have actual data."

X shook his head and responded in a cold tone. For a moment, the situation froze. Then, Da'at stepped forward and quickly smoothed things over:

"Since there's no actual data, wouldn't on-site collection be enough? X, you too... at least give them a chance. So, why don't you come over and help Miss Skadi familiarize herself with the EGO extraction process? If she's up to the task, it wouldn't be bad for her to stay. We're really shorthanded right now."

Hearing Da'at's words, Skadi once again cast a grateful look at her.

After a moment of silence, X finally sighed and nodded slowly, as if agreeing with Da'at's statement.

He glanced back at Skadi and walked away without looking back. Just as Skadi was stunned, Da'at behind her smiled and pushed her, showing her an encouraging smile.

So, just like that, Skadi caught up with X.

And because of this, Skadi began to be pitifully manipulated by the bad woman.

........................

In another part of the extraction area, X patiently explained to Skadi twice the key points of extracting EGO. As for the object of EGO extraction, it was naturally the EGO armor called the Glory Feather of the Flamebird.

After some study time, Skadi quickly got the hang of it. After two failures, under Yu X's hands-on guidance, Skadi quickly completed the first step...

Then, the second, the third... and so on. The prototype of an EGO armor slowly took shape. X watched this scene and nodded secretly.

Yes, as expected, the Agor people do have quite a bit of talent in this area...

After that, it all depends on Laurentina and Skadi to see if they can get enough technicians from Agor...

Finally, after several failures and half a day of attempts, the EGO Armor: Feather of Glory was finally completed with the help of X. Looking at the equipment gleaming with golden light, Skadi's pupils seemed to be gleaming with a faint light.

But soon, her thoughts returned, she stood up suddenly, put her hands on the table, and shouted at X:

"How's it going? Is my performance acceptable? Should it meet your employee requirements?"

Listening to Skadi's words, X sighed, then spoke:

"It's barely acceptable... Although there are irreparable flaws in almost every aspect, it's at least passable. However, there are some parts that surprised me and received relatively high ratings."

"Oh? Which parts?"

After hearing X's words, Skadi became a little more curious and couldn't help but ask.

X closed his eyes and slowly uttered the word:

"constitution."

"?"

"You have good physical strength, which makes you suitable for long working hours. Therefore, I can recognize you as an employee."

"You just want a workforce that can work overtime!"

Even someone as honest and simple as Skadi couldn't help but cry out in response to X's unabashed suggestion. As for X himself, he remained unmoved.

Skadi exhaled and calmed her breath. At this moment, Da'at walked in from the door, looked at Skadi, and smiled:

"How's it going? Did you pass?"

"Um...thank you."

Suddenly, Skadi lowered her head slightly and spoke still awkwardly.
