Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 193 Principles!

While Liu Ke was negotiating with the group outside, Ma Xianhong, who was inside the 'steel tent'—that is, the [Veronica Emergency Rescue Device]—had an incredulous expression on his face.

The Black Wall, the AI ​​that was interacting with Ma Xianhong on the screen in the guise of 'Lei Jun', then spoke up, saying, "Your second half is about to begin."

Inside the armor, Ma Xianhong glanced at his familiar yet unfamiliar "image" on the screen and couldn't help but chuckle a few times, revealing his current sense of disbelief.

Subconsciously, Ma Xianhong began to circulate his internal Qi, channeling it through the upper, middle, and lower Dantian, circulating it throughout his entire body.

Thanks to the self-refinement techniques of the [Divine Refinement], Ma Xianhong already had a thorough understanding of the structure of his body's organs. Simply put, if he were in an illusion or a state of confusion, the results he obtained when examining his own body would definitely not be the same as usual.

After practicing the exercise for a full week, Ma Xianhong also obtained the results of his 'self-examination': he did not experience any hallucinations.

As the saying goes, when all the possibilities have been eliminated, what remains, however unbelievable, must be the truth.

Therefore, after taking a deep breath, Ma Xianhong asked, "You...are you really artificial intelligence?"

He was currently inside the armor, and the sounds he emitted were naturally 'retransmitted' by the armor, becoming electronic sounds before reaching the outside of the armor.

Such overly detailed and useless designs made Ma Xianhong increasingly believe that everything, which was even more absurd than a dream, was real.

After hearing Ma Xianhong's question, the man in the black wall waited for a second or so in a formulaic manner before replying, "Of course, Mr. Ma."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong narrowed his eyes, raised his hands, scanned the armor on his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "So... this... armor, and you, were all made by Brother Liu Ke?"

"You call him... 'Master,' if I understand correctly, that's what you mean?"

The voice from the black wall appeared again, replying, "Yes, you have already 'answered your own question'."

After receiving the reply, Ma Xianhong's breathing became heavier, and he squinted as he asked, "So, Brother Liu is on my side, and he has... [broken ties] with the company?"

Black Wall's reply was not as quick as before. After pausing for about five seconds, it finally organized its thoughts and replied, "Although your understanding is generally correct, some words are prone to ambiguity."

"First of all, my master does not agree with the actions of Nadutong Company in this operation and supports you in winning the battle and ensuring the 'existence' of Biyou Village, but using the word 'break' to describe it is too serious."

"My master, based on interpersonal relationships, did not intend to turn into an antagonistic relationship with All-Tong."

"As for Nadutong Company, at least in my current analysis, I dare not use the word 'break' to describe its relationship with my master."

Upon hearing this reply, Ma Xianhong seemed to understand. After about half a minute, he asked, "I understand. From what you're saying, I can still put up a good fight with those guys outside for a... 'second half'?"

The electronic voice from the black wall replied, "Yes, you guessed right. The so-called 'second half' does indeed mean this, and it is also my master's idea."

"Use primitive and ancient battles between supernatural beings to solve problems, simplifying the complex."

After hearing this, Village Chief Ma carefully examined his entire body through the HUD display screen inside the mask, then couldn't help but chuckle strangely twice before asking, "Okay..."

"So, Black Wall, what I want to know is, what am I waiting for right now?"

Black Wall replied, "In the master's own words, he should at least 'be prepared.' Now, he is both making his final negotiations for you and giving his blessing for the opening of the 'second half.'"

------

Outside the emergency rescue device, Liu Ke and Na Du Tong's conversation continued.

After he appeared and 'said a few words', Hei Guan and Wang Zhenqiu showed expressions of "I knew it." The former held his forehead, while the latter, mimicking the Great Sage, couldn't help but start waving his flower stick, but neither of them said much.

Feng Baobao blinked, brushed some dust off her company uniform, and then casually patted the back of her pants before looking towards the distant [workshop]—she cast an inquiring glance at Zhang Chulan and began to communicate with each other using 'tacit understanding'.

After looking around and observing the expressions of their colleagues, Xiao Zizai and Lao Meng remained silent for the time being.

Although the two of them were also puzzled by Liu Ke's sudden appearance, he was someone the company would work with the real "relevant departments" to go abroad to rescue. In terms of legitimacy, he was probably even more legitimate than the company. Only a fool would act recklessly.

Besides, Liu Ke said that he had people on his side who knew the situation in advance, so we just have to wait for the result.

However, when it comes to something worth 'discussing,' since some people will agree and not care, there will naturally be others who will be dissatisfied.

Old Master Xia Liuqing was not so calm. Panicked by the disappearance of Granny Jin Feng, he immediately cursed, "You little brat, I know you're powerful, but Ma Xianhong has captured Jin Feng and there's no news of her now. If you stop me from capturing her, I'll beat you up too."

Hearing this powerful voice, Liu Ke shook his head helplessly, then turned to Wang Zhenqiu and said, "It seems... he's half your mentor? Aren't you going to give him some advice?"

"Don't blame me for not warning you, it doesn't really matter if he stays here now. I, Liu Ke, am not a fighter by nature, but I am good at resolving conflicts. The old man is over 70 years old, and normally, the 'law' can't touch him, so let him say whatever he wants..."

"But what if he and that foreign friend next to him continue arguing here after a while?"

"For the sake of decency, I had no choice but to kill them both with tears in my eyes."

"Old Master Xia has been a member of Quanxing for so many years, he must have a lot of karma behind him, so I really don't care about killing him..."

At this point, Liu Ke looked at Bear Grylls with a strange expression and said, "Another foreign friend... I've watched his 'Man vs. Wild' show since I was a child, and I'm actually a little reluctant to do it."

When Liu said this, his tone was calm and his attitude sincere. It was as if he were in a supermarket, telling the owner, "I accidentally won a free drink," with a confident yet slightly embarrassed air.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenqiu even paused his monkey performance, removed his divine mask, and turned to Xia Liuqing, saying, "Old man Xia, you should hurry up and leave. Once you leave the village, run as far away as possible. If I hear any news about Granny Jinfeng, I will contact you using the incense and candle magic."

Xia Liuqing was anxious to get information about Granny Jin Feng's whereabouts and wouldn't listen to any advice. She said directly, "You little brat, I understood what that kid meant. It's just a fight, right? Let's fight then. I'm an old man, but I still have some tricks up my sleeve." "You know why I'm here to help you. Today, Jin Feng..."

But before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhenqiu solemnly shook his head and said, "I'm not begging you, I'm just telling you a fact: if you don't leave now, you'll definitely die here in a little while."

"The guy on the other side, his approach is a bit different from the company's, so we just let it slide..."

"But if you join us, even if you help us and the company, the company will eventually take your life."

“I don’t know where Village Chief Ma took Granny Jin Feng, or whether she’s alive or dead. But if you insist on staying here, you’ll never see her again in this lifetime, because this is where you end your day.”

Wang Zhenqiu was naturally 'humorous and adorable,' just as Liu Wukui said, he was often unserious, laughing indiscriminately, and rarely serious. At least, Xia Liuqing considered himself Wang Zhenqiu's mentor and had known him for quite some time, but this was the first time she had seen him so serious.

Therefore, even though this white-haired old bachelor was burning with rage for his flawless goddess, he understood that if he continued to stay here, he would really die.

That being said, although Old Man Xia understood that Qiu'er meant well, he still felt quite 'hurt' by being insulted like that, considering himself Qiu'er's master.

Like an old man who has fallen to the ground and no one is willing to help him up, he looked around and said to the foreign aid who came with him—Baron, a foreigner: "Baron, look at this kid, he... he... is what he did right? I taught him, you be the judge."

Baron found this quite amusing, shrugged, and waved his hand, saying, "Xia, I actually really want to spar with that horse again; that would be very exciting."

"However, since Mr. Liu and your apprentice have both advised us in this way... although it's not very tactful, it's very practical. Why don't we just listen to them?"

"Anyway, I was called here by you to deal with Ma. I don't have the ability to deal with your officials."

Although they were very dissatisfied, the Quanxing people still knew the principle that "as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."

Xia Liuqing, that old man, was indeed willing to risk his life for Jin Feng's safety, but to die at such a potentially useless 'key' point, he himself would feel it was a loss...

Therefore, after careful consideration, Xia Liuqing sighed, nodded to Balun, and then jumped directly to the back of the mountain, saying as she went, "Qiu'er, I believe you, and you promised, so I'm entrusting Jin Feng to you. Don't forget!"

"I will burn incense for twenty miles tomorrow at noon. Be sure to let me know if there is any news!"

Seeing the two people—an old man and a foreigner—quickly jump away, Liu Ke breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask Wang Ye, who was arranging stones on the ground, "Master Wang, I trust you. If you want to see, and don't mind the 'trouble,' you can lie further away in a bit."

Then, Liu Ke turned back to Zhang Chulan, who was peeking out from the workshop, and said, "Chulan, you too, both of you... I agree."

"However, if you want to watch, come sit next to me in a bit, and don't move your hands."

After saying that, Liu Ke looked at the temporary workers again. Seeing that they had almost recovered, he said, "Gentlemen, none of you... can leave, right?"

Seeing that Hei Guan and Wang Zhenqiu nodded, Liu Ke smiled and said, "Indeed, I know your job is difficult to handle, and it's not easy to back out."

"We've gotten to know each other pretty well, and I even owe you a favor. You've been working so hard for so long, and I feel bad about suddenly barging in. So I'll just skip the small talk."

"That's just how it is. It has to be done, and there's no need for anyone to give in to anyone else. I don't want to make things too difficult for you all. Didn't the company order you to destroy Biyou Village and bring Old Ma back?"

"Then let's continue. Like I said before, fight it the way we should, and handle it officially."

As soon as he finished speaking, the [Veronica Emergency Rescue Device] that had been covering Ma Xianhong began to activate.

With a burst of mechanized operation, the defensive barrier of the rescue device disappeared first, shrinking into the six steel pillars, gradually revealing the Mark 7 steel armor that had been 'waiting' for a long time.

Of course, for the temporary workers of NaDuTong at this moment, the steel armor was no longer a teammate in battle, but an object to be defeated. Because, inside the armor was their target for this operation... Ma Xianhong, the village chief of Biyou Village.

However, as the full form of the Iron Man armor was revealed, the temporary workers all wore strange expressions.

Hei Guan narrowed his eyes, while Wang Zhenqiu burst into laughter. Even Lao Meng and Xiao Zizai's fighting spirit instantly 'self' subsided by more than half.

The reason is simple: the appearance of that steel armor on the other side is rather peculiar.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Ke was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Hei Guan took a deep breath, his cheek twitching, and pointed at Liu Ke with his right hand, complaining irritably, "What the hell is wrong? You still have the nerve to say that? Look back at yourself!"

"In principle, we can fight, but you've brought up principles... how can we fight?"

Liu Ke was completely bewildered by what the other person was saying and couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he subconsciously turned his head back.

"Fuck!"

When he saw what was going on, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The reason is simple: this "internal research and development" self-produced "People's Brand" steel armor is also red and yellow, except...

Unlike the original design, its yellow color is only used in certain 'special' places.

To put it more plainly, this Iron Man suit is extremely patriotic, with its overall paint scheme resembling the five-starred red flag. The five stars are prominently displayed on its left chest, even more so than the reactor on the front of the suit.

Moreover, there are even more 'principled' symbols on its shoulders and back.
