My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

She was planning to secretly take pictures of her and Ji Yuan being 'intimate' and send them to Tingyun for amusement. But before she could even send them, Ji Yuan was already planning to debut her.

"Yes, to prevent you from causing any trouble, I had someone record it beforehand. Miss Hanabi, you certainly don't want your video to be leaked, right?"

Ji Yuan nodded.

“Okay, I don’t have a hobby of this kind of fun.” Hanabi shrugged and asked Himemoto while putting on her clothes, “So, what are you planning to get from me? You’ve seen everything on me, but there’s nothing there.”

Ji Yuan asked Hua Huo, "I just want to know what you mean by the company and the antimatter legion you mentioned? Well, I already know about the company, so you don't have to tell me."

Hanabi replied, "As far as I know, besides Toppa, one of the 'Stone Heart Ten' who is publicly known, the company also dispatched Dr. Veritas Ladio from the Erudite Society. After arguing with Ruan Mei, he didn't return to the company but secretly followed behind, trying to find out more about your experiment. As for whether there are any others, I don't know. Perhaps there will be more."

"As for the Antimatter Legion... Ji Yuan, think about what you've done. You've killed two Great Monarchs. Do you think they'll let you go? I remember that the Annihilation Great Monarch Xingxiao might be active in this area."

"[Star Howl]? That woman?"

Upon hearing the name Xingxiao, Ji Yuan's expression began to twist slightly.

Hua Huo was taken aback when she saw Ji Yuan's expression, but she immediately realized and said, "I almost forgot, Xing Xiao is a Great Lord who has fought against your Immortal Ship. She even boarded the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship and asked it to give up resistance and change course to deal with the Wing Creators together."

"Yes, although she didn't succeed in the end, the fact that she was able to enter and exit Zhu Ming smoothly was an extremely humiliating thing for the Immortal Ship. Moreover, the Immortal Ship also suffered a lot of losses in the battles with Yao Qing Zhu Ming Fang Hu."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Upon hearing that it was this messenger who had come, Ji Yuan clenched his fists.

Although they had never met her before, this was a deep-seated hatred etched into the hearts of all the people of the Immortal Ship.

"Well, you see how much pressure you're facing anyway, and who knows, other unknown forces might even be gathering here. I think you should cooperate with us, the Masked Fools. That would alleviate the pressure, wouldn't it?" Hanabi looked at Himemoto and tried to persuade him to join forces again.

"Not yet."

Ji Yuan refused again.

"Fine, I'll wait until you regret it." Hanabi didn't seem to care. After getting dressed, she said to Himemoto, "By the way, I've told you everything I know. Shouldn't you return the recording?"

"I was just asking you, I didn't say I'd give it back to you." Ji Yuan leaned close to Hanabi's ear and said in a threatening tone, "I'll use this against you for the rest of my life. I could pass it on to you at any time."

“Wow, with your level of atrocity, you shouldn’t be going to any genius club. Why don’t you just come to our Masked Fool’s? I’m sure Aha will love you,” Hanabi said in shock. Then, before Himemoto’s smile could bloom, she continued, “If you insist on that, I only have one last solution.”

"what?"

"If I marry you, you definitely won't be willing to upload videos of your wife online."

Hanabi said to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan turned to leave with a look of disgust.

Watching him leave like that, Hanabi scratched her head in frustration.

"This guy is still such a traditional man. He doesn't even like the current popular lolita aesthetic and still prefers the traditional female image. He's so old-fashioned. What a waste of my first time appearing naked in front of others."

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan returned to the room where Jing Liu and Ting Yun were.

Tingyun was alright, but Jingliu was filled with excitement.

Seeing his teacher's posture as if he was about to kill someone, Ji Yuan quickly said, "Teacher, the people from Xingxiao and Interstellar Peace Company haven't arrived yet, don't worry."

"Ah."

Jingliu nodded, slightly disappointed.

We've come all this way and haven't had a proper fight yet.

……

"Ladio, do you have any information about that lab? Wow, this planet is really cold. I'm freezing to death here."

Standing far from Nguyen Mai's laboratory, the handsome blond youth asked Dr. Truth.

"Besides knowing that she got her hands on the core of Beloborg, I don't know anything else." Doctor Truth glanced at the young man and couldn't help but say, "Legend has it that the Tsiganians are born liars. You told Toppa that you wouldn't come, but then you came here. What was it for? Gold dust."

Sand Gold chuckled and said, "Of course, it's for the sake of caution. Topa's professional skills are indeed quite good, but she's not so good at communicating with madmen. If we want to find out more about madmen, it's more appropriate for me to do it."

"If you want to know what madmen do, you have to become just as mad as them. And coincidentally, that's what I'm best at."

"Suit yourself, as long as you don't go crazy in front of me," Dr. Truth said coldly.

Sand Gold smiled and continued to ask Doctor Truth, "So, you're saying that Nguyen May came here because of the Star Core? She wants to study the Star Core and then set up a laboratory here?"

"Impossible. If she wanted to study the star core, there would be better ways. Besides, she is a life scientist and has no interest in star cores whatsoever. If she really wanted to study the relationship between life and star cores, she should have taken the star core and placed that nameless guest on the dissection table."

Dr. Truth shook his head.

“Really? I was thinking that if we’re just researching star cores, this place wouldn’t be that valuable. The company has quite a few people researching star cores, and unless it’s a major breakthrough, the company wouldn’t risk offending Ruan Mei and Ji Yuan. Now that we’re not researching star cores, then my presence here is much more valuable.”

The excitement in Sand Gold's eyes reappeared.

"You're planning to gamble with your life again."

“Yes, I believe that with your blessings, I will be the winner at the gambling table. I will win everything.” Sand Gold clenched his fist and said to Doctor Truth:

"I contacted the leaders of Emerald and Diamond before I arrived, and they said that if necessary, Topa and I could use the power of the Foundation at the same time. Moreover, there is a whole company fleet heading this way right now."

Dr. Truth looked at Sand Gold with some surprise.

"You're willing to gamble like this? Even you don't have the authority to mobilize so many fleets, do you? And using the power of the foundation will make it extremely difficult to replenish it afterwards."

Using the power contained within the foundation stone grants temporary command authority. Using both gold dust and topaz simultaneously is equivalent to having two commanders present. However, the conditions for using this stone are extremely stringent, and the company's penalties for wasting it are severe.

"Yes, so I had already staked everything before I came. Whether the fleet returns empty-handed or the results are unsatisfactory, I might not only be stripped of my position, but I might even be thrown into the slave market and sold."

Sand Gold clenched his fist and said.

He was a gambler, the kind who would go all in with his entire fortune every time.

"I believe the results of this experiment will be groundbreaking enough. Ruan Mei and Ji Yuan will succeed, and I will eventually be able to seize that knowledge. As long as the benefits are great enough, the company will naturally help me solve the rest. Even if it means falling out with the Genius Club, it doesn't matter."

The madness in his eyes made Dr. Truth shake his head.

Now, several lunatics have appeared in Belloborg, and it's unclear who this tiny planet has offended. Having just escaped the core crisis, it's now become a stage for a few madmen.

The Genius Club, the Corporation, the Masked Fool—will new forces emerge?

Dr. Truth asked the gold dust:

"What are your plans next?"

Sand Gold yawned and said to Doctor Truth, "Next, we should naturally get some rest in Belloborg. After traveling for so long, we need to get enough rest to carry out our mission effectively."

"Give me a company employee uniform later, and I'll disguise myself as a low-level employee and do some manual labor. Hmm, the last time I did manual labor was when I was captured and enslaved by a dictator in some star system."

"Ah."

Dr. Truth nodded in agreement.

Chapter 167 Silver Wolf: Ji Yuan, Liu Ying is a good girl [Second Update]

Ji Yuan finally managed to calm her teacher down, preventing her from going after Toppa right now.

Although the company isn't exactly known for its ruthlessness, Ji Yuan seems to have a decent character. Of course, the most important thing is that Ji Yuan is currently planning to use company resources to build his own laboratory.

If we defeat them now, who will transport supplies to them next?

Ask for more now, and then when you fall out with the company in the future, you won't have to pay it back.

The Genius Club has a well-established process for how to sabotage companies.

[You were able to remain calm and not be seduced by Hanabi, the theatrical master recognized by Aha, despite being a member of the Masked Fool who manipulated multiple major events in the universe behind the scenes, and thus not taking advantage of her. The system rewards you with the Aura Disguise Technique.]

[Aura Disguise: Disguise your aura, greatly reducing the risk of being detected during stealth. Note: Aura Disguise only disguises your aura; appearance, conversation, etc., can still give you away. Please be extremely careful when using it.]

Goodness, the fireworks didn't seduce me, but instead gave me a freebie.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Ji Yuan patted his stomach, feeling a bit hungry. He hadn't eaten anything while doing experiments.

Ji Yuan quietly went to the kitchen, and at that moment he heard a faint sound coming from inside.

Ok?

He was puzzled, and then quietly walked over.

After walking over, he saw Firefly sitting alone in a chair, looking devoutly at the cake in front of her.

"Ugh, we've spent so much money lately. If they steal this cake from the kitchen, we'll definitely have to make them pay for it, but..."

Liu Ying held her empty wallet in her hand, unsure whether she should eat it or not.

Ji Yuan smiled inwardly at this moment, and then used his aura disguise technique to come to Liu Ying's side.

"Those Star Core Hunters are really awful; they don't even give you enough pocket money. If I were you, I would eat my fill and then send the whole bill to Kafka."

Liu Ying was about to nod subconsciously when she quickly realized something was wrong. Turning her head, she saw Ji Yuan sitting next to her.

"When did you get here?!"

She said to Ji Yuan in surprise.

"Just when you're debating whether or not to eat the cake," Ji Yuan said with a smile, "you can eat the cake without worry. You don't need to pay for it."

"No, I can't just use your money. I've always been the one receiving your kindness, and I'd feel terrible if I wasted your money or anything else because of my own selfishness." Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Liu Ying quickly shook her head and refused.

Her tone was very serious, and after saying this, she even pushed the cake to one side to show her determination. However, she stopped halfway with her finger.

"It's okay, eat up. I'll just find a place to get reimbursed."

Ji Yuan smiled and said to Liu Ying.

"what?"

A look of confusion crossed Liu Ying's pretty face. "Where can I get reimbursed for the money here?"

Would Luofu Immortal Boat be so generous?

Just as she was confused, Ji Yuan said to her, "Come on, give me Silver Wolf's or Kafka's contact information."

Liu Ying wasn't surprised by Ji Yuan's words. Before arriving here, she already knew that she was here because of what Kafka and Ji Yuan had told her. Her relationship with the Star Core Hunter was something that couldn't be hidden from Ji Yuan at all. But now that Ji Yuan had brought it up, her face turned deathly pale instantly.

Seeing her expression, Ji Yuan quickly comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, no matter what your purpose was when I took you in, I will find a way to cure your entropy disorder. Even though I have arrested the Star Core Hunters, I don't have any real deep-seated hatred for them."

"Yes, I know you're a good person."

Liu Ying touched her face and nodded to Ji Yuan.
