Hong Kong film: People in Wo Luen Shing, summoning the King of Fighters.

On a small island covered in green vegetation near Lantau Island, a yacht slowly docks.

"Mr. Chen, please come with me to the island."

"NESTS is going to die!" The captain of the guard team, android 001, made a gesture of invitation.

"The four of you wait for me here."

Chen Jialuo thought for a moment and decided to let the pig, the monkey, the dragon, and Mai Shiranui stay on the yacht for now.

"Brother Luo, are we in danger?"

"Yes, yes, it's better for us to follow you."

Chen Guohan and Cai Baojian were indeed loyal, but Mai Shiranui looked somewhat worried.

"Don't be afraid, they are all my people."

Chen Jialu smiled at the four of them and followed the bio-engineered human No. 001 onto the small island. Apart from tall trees and green vegetation, there was nothing else to be seen.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a two-story bungalow appeared in front of them.

"Mr. Chen, please come with me."

Cyborg 001 made a gesture of invitation.

Chen Jialu stepped inside, and what he saw was no different from the decoration of an ordinary citizen's home in Hong Kong.

At that moment, cyborg 001 opened the wooden cabinet in the bedroom, and a keyboard popped out. After he entered the password,

With a "bang".

Everyone clearly felt the whole house shake. Then, the wooden cabinet against the wall slowly moved aside, revealing a metallic but tightly closed elevator door.

Bio-engineered 001 pressed a few buttons on the elevator door, and the door opened with a bang, revealing a huge platform.

As soon as everyone stepped onto the platform, they heard a whooshing sound as the platform rapidly descended.

"Boom!"

"Bah!"

As it approached the bottom, the platform slowly came to a stop.

The view suddenly opened up, and nearly five hundred bio-engineered humans were standing near the platform, saluting Chen Jialuo who had stepped off the platform, welcoming their master's arrival.

These cyborgs have the appearance of people from various races in Asia, Africa, and Europe. According to the system's introduction, Chen Jialuo knew that they were bred and manufactured by the Nest Organization based on the races on Earth.

In other words, the NESTS Fortress is now maintained by these cyborgs in its most basic operations.

"Welcome back to the fortress, my lord! The Central Intelligence, along with all personnel of the Sound Nest Fortress, welcomes you. The Central Intelligence awaits your orders."

The central AI of the NESTS fortress emitted rhythmic electronic synthesized sounds, handing over all authority of the fortress to Chen Jialuo.

As soon as the central AI finished speaking, the heels of nearly a thousand people present clicked together in unison: "We will obey the orders of our superiors."

"Come here. Is this the NESTS Fortress? Tell me about the fortress's facilities."

Chen Jialuo called the cyborg No. 001 to his side.

"Yes, sir, to avoid human detection, the NESTS fortress is hidden beneath this small island..."

Bio-engineered Human 001 brought over a display screen.

The entire NESTS fortress is enormous, covering an area of ​​several square kilometers, and is divided into five major modules: power and anti-gravity module, resource collection and storage module, combat and protection module, research and manufacturing module, and life and living support module.

As the cyborg 001 was introduced, the display screen switched to show three-dimensional images of various areas and angles of the NESTS fortress.

After introducing these complicated modules, Bio-engineered Man 001 summoned many other bio-engineered men and introduced them to Chen Jialuo one by one.

Currently, the fortress has 100 bio-engineered guards, 300 bio-engineered production personnel, and 100 bio-engineered maintenance personnel. They are needed to repair any problems that arise in the fortress.

There are also two hundred bio-engineered humans, primarily responsible for maintaining the fortress's operations, while also conducting technological research.

The cyborgs in the guard team cannot accompany him to Firestone Island to fight Hung Hing to the death, because their activity range has been defined by the central AI, and their primary responsibility is to protect the fortress.

"..."

Chen Jialuo was completely bewildered and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, don't bother with the introduction. Just tell me what functions I can use now. Also, I have a task for you: from now on, all of you bio-engineered humans will be surnamed Chen. Go back and find one or two Chinese characters to use as your names. Now, everyone, return to your posts."

"Yes!"

After saluting Chen Jialuo, the dozen or so people returned to their respective posts.

"Sir, please come with me."

Led by the cyborg 001, Chen Jialuo toured the site, and with the detailed explanation from the central AI, he finally understood.

The reason for adding the prefix "damaged" to "Damaged NESTS Fortress" is that it is indeed damaged and lacks resources and energy.

Chen Jialuo needs to invest massive amounts of resources, energy, and money to repair it, including all sorts of resources such as oil, coal, steel, precious metals, and even some scarce elements such as uranium!

Because of the lack of resources and energy necessary to run the MONEY fortress, most of its functions are unusable.

Fortunately, the cloning function was not damaged, but cloning is very expensive.

Cloning a fighter costs HK$1000 million!

The cost of cloning an ordinary person is HK$500 million!

For example, if Chen Jialuo wanted to clone Deng Wei, it would cost HK$500 million, while cloning a fighter like Chen Guohan would cost HK$1000 million.

The high cost is not in cloning itself, but in the cost of data collection and DNA sampling, which requires something called an active substance extractor.

It would require Chen Jialuo to spend money, resources, and energy to mass-produce it.

"Fuck your mother! I knew you weren't simple!"

Chen Jialuo almost pulled out his gun.

Fortunately, the NESTS Fortress stores a massive amount of data and DNA, so Chen Jialuo can use the NESTS Fortress's vast database to clone some ordinary types of cyborgs.

These cyborgs are also divided into types such as combat, research, and production, and each costs HK$10.

"Central AI, a combat-type cyborg, what is its combat strength?"

Chen Jialuo thought for a moment and asked.

"To give an example, the combat power of an ordinary person is 1, while the combat power of a combat-type bio-engineered human fluctuates between 5 and 10," the central AI provided an answer.

Chen Jialuo became interested and pressed on, "So how much combat power do fighters have, and how much do I have?"

"A fighter's combat strength ranges from 20 to 100. Due to differences in their fighting techniques, as well as the influence of factors such as personality and weapons, the data may fluctuate. As for your combat strength, sir, we cannot assess it due to insufficient data."

"That's what the central AI replied."

After understanding the situation, Chen Jialuo looked at the Hong Kong dollars he had brought with him and said with a pained expression, "Central AI, clone 40 combat-type cyborgs for me."

"Extracting data and DNA, calculating... 80 hours required, confirm/cancel?"

"Sure!"

Chen Jialuo answered without hesitation.

In an instant, he went from being a multi-millionaire this morning to having only HK$20 left…

Chapter 40 was worth it! It was worth any price!

"Om..."

Five cyborgs in white lab coats pressed a few buttons on the control panel.

Several cloning machines began to operate, and green nutrient solution was injected into dozens of transparent glass domes. In a short while, intricate human vascular tissue appeared inside the glass domes.

Chen Jialuo looked at it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he asked the bio-engineered human No. 001, who had been renamed Chen Pojun, to take him to his own living room.

After passing through a large, carved sandalwood gate, a grand hall of nearly 200 square meters, decorated in a magnificent yet elegant style, comes into view.

"grown ups."

Ten beautiful, cyborg maids, whose beauty commanded respect at first glance, bowed to Chen Jialuo.

Looking at their faces, Mingming, Dilraba, Feifei, Yaya, Gulnazar...

What the hell!

In an instant, all of Chen Jialuo's disappointment and displeasure vanished, and he immediately perked up.

Worth it!

The NESTS Fortress that I got by spending 2 million in the gacha, and the 40 combat cyborgs that I cloned for 4 million, have all recouped their costs immediately!

Don't even mention that they're cyborgs; even if they were made of silicone, there would be bosses willing to spend hundreds of thousands!

The 200-square-meter hall has ten rooms on both sides, a kitchen, a bathroom, a gym, an entertainment room, a private cinema and other facilities.

Unfortunately, NESTS Fortress is too far from the main island, requiring a boat trip to get there and back; otherwise, living here in the future would be quite nice.

"Get me some food. I'll take a shower first, and then bring me some clothes." Chen Jialuo plopped down on the sofa, then remembered the people on the yacht. "Oh right, what about Po Jun, Da Zhu, and Xiao Wu?"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for people to take care of them."

Chen Pojun replied.

"Here's what we'll do: send them to the fortress. Just explain things to them. Oh, and... don't bring me here, you understand?"

Chen Jialuo emphasized the second half of the sentence.
