Chapter 175 New Mission!
Jiangzhou University, Cafeteria No. 2.
It was lunchtime, and the place was bustling with noise.
Zhang Yan, carrying his tray, found an empty seat by the window and sat down.
The plate contained a serving of braised pork, a serving of green vegetables, and two ounces of rice.
A very ordinary student meal.
But as soon as he sat down, the air around him seemed to freeze for a moment.
The previously noisy conversation quieted down, replaced by soft whispers.
Countless eyes were fixed on him.
Curiosity, exploration, admiration, jealousy.
"Is it him?"
"That's him, the master who rides the hoverbike."
"I heard that was done with special effects, right?"
"Bullshit, Young Master Qin even posted on Weibo, saying it's the real deal."
Zhang Yan ignored him, picked up his chopsticks, and put a piece of braised pork into his mouth.
It's fatty but not greasy, and cooked to a good standard.
A long-haired girl wearing a pleated skirt and exquisite makeup walked over carrying a tray.
She stopped opposite Zhang Yan, flicked her hair, and revealed a confident smile.
"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
Zhang Yan didn't even look up.
"no."
A hint of joy flashed in the girl's eyes, and she sat down.
"My name is Lin Qian, and I'm an art major. I saw your video online before and thought it was really cool."
She leaned forward slightly, revealing a patch of snow-white skin at her neckline.
"I'm also quite interested in mechanics. Could we add each other on WeChat so I can ask you questions later?"
The whispers around them grew louder.
Many boys cast envious glances at her.
Lin Qian is a beauty queen at Jiangda University, and she usually looks down on everyone, but today she actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Zhang Yan swallowed the food in his mouth and put down his chopsticks.
He raised his head and looked calmly at Lin Qian.
There was no disturbance.
It's like looking at a rock or a tree.
"Not interested."
Lin Qian's smile froze on her face.
"what?"
I said, "I'm not interested."
Zhang Yan picked up his plate and stood up.
"Also, I have a girlfriend."
"She has a bad temper. If she finds out I've added other girls, she'll ban your account."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the tableware recycling area.
Lin Qian was left sitting there alone, her face as red as a ripe tomato.
A low chuckle rippled through the crowd.
As Zhang Yan walked out of the cafeteria, his phone vibrated.
The screen lights up.
It is a WeChat video request.
Note: Wife.
Zhang Yan swiped to answer the call.
Nie Qingcheng's stunningly beautiful face appeared on the screen.
The background is the study in the Nie family's old house, with the table piled high with documents.
She was wearing a white silk shirt with the collar slightly open, and she looked somewhat tired.
But the moment she saw Zhang Yan, the weariness in her eyes vanished instantly, and a smile curved her lips.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Zhang Yan pointed the camera at the sycamore trees by the roadside.
"I just finished eating, and the braised pork in the cafeteria has gotten worse."
Nie Qingcheng chuckled softly.
"You've become picky about food? Then I'll make it for you when you get back."
"Can you do it?"
"I can learn."
Nie Qingcheng played with the fountain pen in her hand.
"I have good news for you. The handover process over there is going more smoothly than expected."
"In another week, I will be able to return to Jinghai."
Zhang Yan stopped in his tracks.
"A week?"
"Um."
"What, you don't want me to go back?"
"think."
Zhang Yan looked at her on the screen.
"The bed is too big; it's cold sleeping alone."
Nie Qingcheng's cheeks flushed.
She glared at Zhang Yan, her eyes sparkling with charm.
"rogue."
"I'm hanging up now, I have a meeting."
The screen went black.
Zhang Yan put away his phone, and the smile on his lips slowly faded.
He returned to his dormitory.
My roommates aren't here.
Zhang Yan drew the curtains and sat down at his desk.
There are no outsiders here.
"system."
He called out in his mind.
A pale blue light screen unfolded before my eyes.
[Host: Zhang Yan]
[Current Status: Leader of the Mohist School (Awakening Level 15%)]
[Items in hand: Mo Family's Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship (incomplete), White Tiger (Mecha), Black Scorpion (Mecha), Cheng Ying (Vehicle)...]
The light screen flickered.
A line of red text slowly appeared.
[Warning: Accelerated awakening of "Ruins" detected.]
[Estimated contact time: 3 years and 7 months.]
[Main Quest Triggered: Steel Torrent.]
[Mission Description: Individual strength is insignificant in the face of a civilization-level catastrophe. You possess the Heart of the Craftsman and the blueprints of the Mohist school, but you need an army.]
[Mission Objective: To build an army of no fewer than one hundred mechanical beasts.]
[Mission Rewards: Mo Family Four Symbols - Vermilion Bird (Complete Blueprint), Energy Matrix Technology, God-Level Domination Skill.]
Zhang Yan leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.
One hundred units.
There are not a hundred models.
It consists of a hundred war machines like the White Tiger and the Black Scorpion.
The cost of materials alone is astronomical.
Not to mention the venue, equipment, and confidentiality.
If this were done in the Jinghai urban area, you'd be arrested as a terrorist in no time.
He needs money.
Needed.
We need a partner who can handle things.
Zhang Yan picked up his phone and opened his contacts.
My finger stopped on a name.
Qin Xiao.
He's stupid, rich, has a powerful background, and is obedient.
She's practically the perfect tool.
Zhang Yan edited a message and clicked send.
"Want to go all in?"
Three seconds later.
The phone rang incessantly.
Zhang Yan pressed the answer button and moved the phone further away.
Qin Xiao's hoarse roar came through the receiver.
"Brother Yan! I want to! I dream about it! Just say the word, and I'll do anything, even murder and arson!"
Zhang Yan rubbed his ears.
"Come to Jinghai tomorrow."
"Take your brain and your money with you."
……
Yunding Club, Jinghai City.
The VIP box.
Qin Xiao sat on the leather sofa, his legs shaking like a leaf.
A cup of premium Da Hong Pao tea sat before him, steam rising gently, but he didn't drink a drop.
He is waiting.
He has been excited for a full twenty-four hours since receiving Zhang Yan's call.
The door was pushed open.
Zhang Yan walked in.
He was wearing a plain gray sweatshirt, jeans, and even carrying a black backpack.
He looks like a college student who just finished class.
Qin Xiao sprang up abruptly and rushed to the door.
"Brother Yan!"
Zhang Yan waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
He placed his backpack on the coffee table and unzipped it.
No nonsense.
He took a thick stack of A4 paper out of his bag and threw it in front of Qin Xiao.
"have a look."
Qin Xiao picked up the stack of papers with trembling hands.
The first page.
A mechanical structure diagram so complex it's dizzying.
【Mo Family Mass-Produced Mechanical Beast - Wolf's Gaze】
[Type: Assault/Reconnaissance]
[Total height: 2.5 meters]
[Powertrain: Miniature high-energy battery pack/Hybrid power]
[Weapons: High-frequency vibrating blade, multi-functional launch pod]
Qin Xiao's breathing became heavy.
He turned to the second page.
[Mo Family Heavy Engineering Mech - Mountain Moving]
[Type: Logistics/Defense]
[Total height: 5 meters]
[Load capacity: 30 tons]
Page 3...
Page 4...
Each page features a completely new mechanical creation, capable of revolutionizing the modern industrial system.
Qin Xiao's hands began to tremble.
He raised his head, his eyes red-rimmed, staring intently at Zhang Yan.
"Brother Yan... are all these... for me?"
"It's not for you."
Zhang Yan poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"It's for our company."
Qin Xiao was taken aback.
"A company? We want to sell these things?"
He panicked.
"Brother Yan, this won't do! These are national treasures; if they fall into the wrong hands—"
"Who said they were selling?"
Zhang Yan put down his teacup, his gaze calm.
"We want to start a security company."
