Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 556 The Lighthouse's Number One Beautiful Engineer

The smoke of battle has not yet completely dissipated.

The giant-toothed bijaw beast, which was completely frozen by Mo Yu with absolute power, became the best research specimen.

Dozens of robotic arms carefully moved it from the central lifting platform to a warehouse specially prepared for it.

The thick cable creaked taut at the winch, each inch of movement accompanied by a sickening metallic groan.

The frozen behemoth's body reflected the cold light of the searchlights, and the massive jaws, once filled with ferocious teeth capable of tearing through armor, were now only specimens for human study.

On the lifting platform, the dark red flesh and viscous fluids were being cleaned up by logistics personnel wearing heavy protective suits using high-temperature flame guns.

Blue flames licked the metal ground, sizzling and burning, turning the filthy traces of the Devouring Beasts, along with the nauseating stench, into billowing black smoke.

Even on this open platform, even as the lighthouse continues its journey through the skies, the stench—a mixture of rotting flesh, rust, and the unique bodily fluids of the Mana creatures—persists like a leech, permeating the entire lower level and lingering for a long time.

Linglong Moyu resumed his usual indifference, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing out from the railing of a high-rise corridor.

On the one hand, it was to prevent the frozen giant jawed beast from suddenly breaking out of the ice during the transportation process; on the other hand, it was for consideration.

In this battle of defense, at least seven or eight hundred Devouring Beasts died, if not a thousand.

Excluding the less than one hundred spirit seeds he forcibly devoured in order to increase his strength.

In other words, at least seven hundred units of life essence were scattered again on this land that had long been shrouded in death.

In this world, the essence of life is the soul!
The Mana ecosystem forcibly plunders the life essence of the entire planet and incorporates it into its own cycle.

As the apocalypse progresses to its current stage, there are very few unclaimed life forms left scattered across the entire planet.

So few that many newborns born atop the lighthouse are born without enough life essence for reincarnation.

Ultimately, some are born with various defects, while others are born as "healthy" stillborn babies even though all physiological tests show no problems.

If humanity wants to develop, continue, and reclaim the earth that rightfully belongs to them, it absolutely needs to reproduce its own race.

The birth of a newborn depends absolutely on that ethereal yet real life essence!
From any perspective, the relationship between humans and the mana ecosystem has always ended with the complete extinction of one side.

There is absolutely no possibility of compromise between them!
"Hey, what are you thinking about, just standing there like that?"

A mature female voice, tinged with a hint of languor and teasing, came from behind him.

Jessica crossed one arm over her chest, elegantly pressed the other hand against her nose and lips, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and rolled her eyes wide without any attempt to hide it: "This stench... I'm amazed you can even stand here."

"Have you forgotten that my sense of taste is only 30% of that of an average person?"

Linglong Moyu didn't turn around; he could tell who it was just by the voice.

"Although it has a certain taste, it's still within my acceptable range."

"Sometimes I really envy your 'new human' physique! No wonder you're considered the future of the Beacon, it's really convenient."

Jessica walked gracefully to Mo Yu's side and gently leaned her back against the cold metal railing.

Unlike him, she didn't look down. Instead, she turned her interested gaze to the man in front of her, her dark brown eyes scanning him up and down as if she were seeing him for the first time.

Linglong Moyu ignored her teasing, but his eyes were still uncontrollably drawn to her out of the corner of his eye.

By this time, the crisis was over, and Jessica was clearly completely relaxed.

She had changed out of her previous blue work clothes, which were covered in oil and dust, and put on a black bodysuit that showed off her hot figure.

The front of her leather jacket was not closed, but rather left open to the sides, with only a wide leather belt cinching her waist, which further accentuated her slender figure.

She wore only a simple inner lining, which barely covered her two ample breasts, which were almost tattered, rising and falling with her breath.

Her long chestnut-red hair cascaded over her shoulders in the gentle breeze, lightly brushing against her smooth neck and bare chest.

The setting sun cast its golden rays upon her profile, adding a touch of alluring charm to her already strikingly beautiful face.

Jessica seemed to notice the man beside her breathing become slightly heavier. A slight smile played on her lips, and a hint of allure flowed from her eyes to her brows.
With a flicker of her eyes, a touch of allure, like the finest wine, flowed from her brow: "Come with me to the Hall of Dawn tonight. Let me properly reward our great Adam, who just saved the lighthouse, how about it?"

Linglong Moyu quickly looked away, her voice still calm: "The breeding task is carried out by the system based on gene pairing. Private mating is a major taboo that violates the three laws of the Lighthouse."

"hehe."

Jessica let out a disdainful sneer. "Do you think I don't know how much room for manipulation there is? I've repaired that mainframe in the Light and Shadow Society used for gene matching before."

The fingertips of the black half-finger gloves tapped lightly on the railing, producing a crisp sound.

"It can indeed calculate the genetic compatibility, but there's basically no difference if the compatibility is above 95%. It's not like I haven't carried out breeding missions with you before. Although I didn't get the right result two or three times, that's enough to show that our genetic compatibility is definitely above 95%."

She turned her head, her body leaning slightly to the side, her two full, soft breasts almost touching Mo Yu's arm, deliberately lowering her voice:
"As long as the data meets the requirements, the specific matching process is handled by the people from the Light and Shadow Society. Even... if the data doesn't match, they can bypass the system to perform the matching."

Jessica smiled knowingly, her eyes becoming playful: "What do you think, my dear Lord Adam?"

As the top female engineer and also the project manager, she was indispensable in the research, development, and maintenance of all the machinery on the lighthouse.

Database maintenance all depends on her; if she wants to, what data can't she retrieve?
However, Charles was the head of the association, and his father was the city lord Morgan.

Jessica's evidence was only enough to annoy him, not enough to completely destroy him, so she pretended not to see it.

The reason she brought it up now was to hand the knife to Mo Yu and see if he wanted to use it.

Linglong Moyu merely shook his head slightly, seemingly uninterested in bringing down Charles, and instead changed the subject: "In today's battle, many people in and around Lighthouse were injured."

"Moreover, most of the staff were frightened and their emotions fluctuated wildly, causing them to become mentally unstable. This month's breeding mission will likely be postponed or canceled altogether."

Jessica sensed the rejection in his words and pouted, somewhat bored.

But she was clearly not one to give up easily. Her eyes lit up and she came up with a new idea: "Then... tonight, come directly to my room."

She paused, looked up at the once-common, romantic sunset, and said softly, "Now that we have found a way to deal with the Devouring Beasts, the three laws established by Lord Morgan may no longer apply to the Lighthouse today."

“No, it’s still applicable for now.” Linglong Moyu rejected her opinion without hesitation.

Seeing Jessica's puzzled look, he explained to her, "The emotions of the people of the Lighthouse have been suppressed for too long. Once the three laws are lifted, it will inevitably lead to a rebound of emotions."

“Strong emotional fluctuations will inevitably attract the attention of the Mana ecosystem. Although there are no flying Devouring Beasts yet, once they are targeted, it is only a matter of time before the Mana ecosystem evolves flying Devouring Beasts.”

"At least until we develop a device that can block Mana's ecological perception, or until we truly possess the power to confront Mana's ecology head-on, the three laws cannot be touched for the time being."

His clear and logical analysis was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the slight excitement and fantasies that Jessica had developed because of this great victory.

She was somewhat disappointed.

Yes, the pressure to survive has never lessened; it has only been temporarily overshadowed by the joy of victory.

The three laws, these shackles that destroy humanity, will continue to hang firmly around everyone's neck.

She had assumed, and many others on the lighthouse believed, that this victory would change many things. However, the accumulation of strength, especially between two major powers and two races, is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Suddenly, Jessica moved without warning.

She suddenly sat up straight, opened her arms, and hugged Mo Yu tightly from the side.

His hot and bouncy body, even through his clothes, clearly showed the firm contours of his muscles.

She pressed her cheek against his broad chest, greedily feeling the terrifying power contained within his robust body, enough to single-handedly kill a giant jawed beast.

Just imagining riding on the body of this powerful and explosive being, and galloping freely, made Jessica's beautiful eyes involuntarily light up with a hint of excitement.

Are you coming tonight or not?

She pressed her full, red lips against his ear. Her warm breath caressed Mo Yu's earlobe, her voice soft and alluring.

Feeling the fiery, alluring body, Linglong Moyu turned her head and thought for a moment: "I probably have something to do tonight."

Just as a hint of disappointment flashed in Jessica's eyes, he changed the subject: "How about now?"

The three fundamental laws of survival certainly cannot be abolished, but this never means that no one can be above the law.

Jessica's eyes lit up instantly.

She parted her crimson lips slightly, and her nimble tongue darted out gently, like a cunning little snake, leaving a warm and slight nibble on his earlobe.

"How about we stay here?"

"?"

Linglong Moyu was speechless.

Even if he doesn't follow the rules, he still has some sense of shame!

In broad daylight, at least turn off the lights!

Seeing his unusually embarrassed expression, Jessica's smile deepened.

She subtly shifted her position, pressing herself close to his voluptuous body.

Pulling the hilt of the sword which was raised in anger, it rested in a groove that could cushion the impact.

Linglong Moyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

How can the sacred artifacts of the state be tolerated being manipulated by others like this?
He suddenly took half a step forward.

An irresistible force came, and Jessica felt dizzy as she was pressed against the railing behind her in an extremely forceful manner!
"boom!"

Her back slammed heavily against the cold metal railing with a dull thud.

Although she was over 1.7 meters tall, she still appeared petite next to the tall and strong Mo Yu.

In an instant, her feet were lifted off the ground, her slender waist was pressed firmly against the railing which was only half an arm's width wide, and her entire upper body was forced to lean back, suspended in the air at a height of 10,000 meters!

A biting wind instantly filled her mouth and nose, and the afterglow of the setting sun and the firelight on the deck below swirled wildly in her vision, turning into a blurry patch of light.

Weightlessness and the instinctive fear of heights, like an invisible hand, instantly seized her heart!

"what!"

To maintain her balance, Jessica had no choice but to squeeze her legs together and wrap herself around him.

His body trembled violently from fear.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging deep into the white lining of Mo Yu's shoulder, as if a drowning person had grabbed onto the only piece of driftwood.

Her beautiful eyes, already misty with tears, revealed a pitiful plea, a sight that evoked sympathy from me.

"I was wrong! I was wrong! No! Mo Yu! Don't do this! Lord Adam! He'll really die!"

Linglong Moyu remained as indifferent as ever.

He held her waist with one hand and braced his other hand on the railing beside her head, completely enveloping her in his shadow.

He certainly wouldn't actually throw the lighthouse's most beautiful female engineer down, but this woman was too presumptuous and he had to teach her a lesson she would never forget, to really put her temper to the test.

However, what neither of them noticed was...

In the shadows of a corner in the distant corridor, a slender figure in a black silk cheongsam stared in astonishment.

She had just peeked out when she was so shocked by what she saw that she quickly shrank back, her heart pounding wildly.

After the great battle, almost everyone at the Lighthouse was busy or recovering from their injuries.

This high point is remote, and theoretically no one should come here.

However, the Lightbringer, Brahma, who had been by Charles's side the whole time and had not participated in the bloody battle, did not have anything to do.

Especially after Charles said he wanted to be alone and kicked her out of the Hall of Lights.

Fan Lu left almost as if he were fleeing.

Charles's distraught appearance left her feeling extremely confused.

She wandered aimlessly through the lighthouse corridor until she heard the title "Lord Adam" from two passing upper-class citizens, which brought her back to her senses.

Will Charles be able to escape punishment this time, or at least have his impending punishment mitigated...?

This is not about anyone else, not even about the old city lord Morgan in the medical room, or the "next city lord" Mark who is still on the ground carrying out his mission.

But it lies with... Mo Yu!
She immediately used her still-activated access to locate Mo Yu and came to him.

Along the way, she hadn't actually figured out how to persuade Mo Yu.

After all, she really didn't have any leverage to sway Mo Yu.

But now...

Fanlu hid behind the cold wall.

She cautiously turned her head again, peering through the gap at the corner at the two figures in front of her, a flicker of emotion flashing in her eyes.

Even the usually aloof and indifferent Lord Adam could react this way to such matters.

She seems to have... found an unexpected bargaining chip.
