I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 127 Xin Hai's counterattack against the Divine Child, Farusan's attack, and Narcida and Wendy watching the show.

The night sky above Mount Sumeru is dotted with stars, and the evening breeze from high above carries a refreshing coolness.

However, Wendy's winds isolate the inside from the outside, so you can't feel anything on the magic carpet.

Wendy sat at the front of the flying carpet, tossing a wine glass in her hand, and shrugged her shoulders with a hint of lingering satisfaction.

Not bad, not bad, I've gotten some juicy gossip on this trip!

Perfect with drinks.

However, there shouldn't be anything else going to happen, so it's time to rest.

"Alright, alright, it's the middle of the night, the show's over." Wendy yawned, rested her chin on her hand, and glanced at Chen Bo, who was still busy below. "The poor guy has to work all night forging iron. We, the idle folks who have eaten and drunk our fill, should go back and get some sleep."

Klee, sitting in the center of the flying carpet, hugged Dudu tightly in her arms, her little face scrunched up, her little fists waving wildly.

"That pink-haired older sister is a demon! A wicked woman!" Klee shouted angrily. "Knight brother works so hard, still out there banging and clanging in the middle of the night, and instead of helping him, she comes out to bully him! Klee is going to tell Captain Jean to throw that demon into solitary confinement!"

Amber quickly kept a close eye on Klee, afraid that Klee might accidentally throw a bouncing bomb down.

Cory, who was hiding behind Amber, peeked out halfway and muttered in a low voice.

"How could she be bullying anyone? It's the middle of the night, and that woman is wearing a thin nightgown with wet hair. She's talking and laughing on the phone. It looks like they're flirting!"

Cole spoke very softly.

But Farusan felt very upset when she heard this.

She waited for him to come home every night, but all he did was chat with that pink-haired fox outside, and he didn't care about her at all.

Farusan crossed her arms and tried to project the dignity of a centenarian.

She snorted heavily, gritting her teeth as she declared, "Those wild foxes outside are the most unruly and cunning! Anil is an honest and upright boy, focused solely on his studies. If he's not careful, he'll be led astray by these vixens of unknown origin!"

She clenched her fists secretly.

Once we get back, we absolutely have to find an opportunity to give this kid a thorough ideological education.

We mustn't let the fox lead us astray.

"Hold on tight, heading back." Wendy's whip glowed slightly, and the magic carpet turned and left.

On the open ground below.

Chen Bo is still working.

He felt there was nothing to hide, and his main goal was to act openly and honestly. He didn't care about the God Child's nighttime communications or Wendy's spying.

Instead, they continue to manufacture surveillance equipment, electronic radar, and floating weapons.

The self-test program on the screen has completed its final cycle. The green light illuminates. The final sealing test of the launch vehicle has been perfectly passed.

Task completed, send it out directly.

After finishing, there were still quite a few materials left.

Since we're already here, let's stick to the principle of "since we're already here".

Chen Bo also manufactured some capture robots and communication wristbands.

Okay, give Klee, Wendy, and the others each a bracelet for daily communication.

Only after all the materials were used up did Chen Bo rub his sore eyes wearily and let out a long yawn.

"Going back to sleep now, going on a trip tomorrow."

Time passed slowly.

Soon, it was dawn.

In the early morning on Haegeishima Island, the sea breeze was damp and cool, carrying a slightly salty smell.

On a secluded rocky beach on the outskirts of the island, Xin Hai and Luna 2 waited together.

Her light blue shrine maiden outfit fluttered in the sea breeze.

She was so excited last night that she didn't sleep. Before dawn, Moon 2 arrived and brought her over to collect the goods.

Although Xin Hai's eyes were bloodshot and he had a few dark circles, he was very excited and full of energy, and he was not sleepy at all.

After all, what's coming is equipment that can change the fate of Haizhi Island.

The rocket landing was quite a commotion, so they specifically chose a large, uninhabited reef.

The sound of something cutting through the air grew louder as it approached.

The night was torn apart by a flash of fire as the launch vehicle precisely entered its designated orbit, ejecting a reverse buffer jet of air from its base.

With a soft mechanical hum, the enormous, silver-gray object landed steadily on a flat, massive rock.

The outer heat shield, which had slightly melted from passing through the thunderstorm, automatically peeled off and fell into the seabed, while the cargo hold doors inside slowly opened to the sides.

A dazzling array of high-tech equipment was presented to Xin Hai without reservation.

Moon Two stepped forward and began to check and hand over the goods one by one. "Miss Xin Hai, the goods have been safely delivered."

"Please check: 15 high-altitude surveillance floating telescopes; 500 micro-insects for close-range eavesdropping; 10 sets of exclusive high-strength encrypted communication bracelets; 10 fully armed capture mechs. In addition, there is one set of freely deployable floating space-based cannons, and a matching all-weather area air defense radar station."

Xin Hai had never heard of similar vocabulary, so he didn't quite understand it.

But I was really excited.

His breathing became heavy, his fingertips caressed the cool, metallic shell, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Shinkai still remembers that it was with these same devices that a fleet was created on the sea, forcing Kujo Sara to retreat.

Long constrained by the blockade of the Shogunate army, lacking food and medicine, they advanced cautiously step by step.

Now that we have these devices, we can monitor the movements of the Shogunate army, and even the previous smuggling plan will no longer be blocked.

Not to mention, there are now new smuggling methods.

Half a month later, the merchant ship from Sumeru will arrive.

As long as the plan is executed normally, the crisis on Haiqi Island will be over.

With the new equipment, Xin Hai couldn't wait to try it out.

Xin Hai subconsciously thought of Yae no Miko.

The chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine who liked to hide in the shadows and leisurely watch himself make a fool of himself.

Reciprocity has always been the way of hospitality on Haiji Island.

Xin Hai couldn't wait to control the floating telescope to see what that annoying pink fox was up to.

"Moon 2, immediately activate a floating telescope for me." Xin Hai pointed to the control panel and gave the order, "I want to directly access the overhead view of Narukami Shrine."

"Okay." Moon Two nodded obediently.

Luna 2 knew about the no-fly zone, but inheriting Nasita's slightly quirky and secretive personality traits, Luna 2 didn't say anything.

I just want to see what it's like to hit a wall in your heart.

The floating telescope silently ascends into the air, transforming into a tiny black dot that traverses vast ocean areas.

Shinkai looked at the light screen on the control panel with curiosity. So this is the perspective of the Divine Child?

In the image, the receding waves and clouds are clearly visible. Soon, the device's coordinates will cross the airspace boundary of Narukami Island.

A sharp, electrical crackling sound pierced my eardrums.

Before Xin Hai could even react, a blinding pink light filled the entire screen. The iconic, captivating fox face of Yae no Miko appeared in full-scale 3D projection.

"Hmm," the goddess in the video drawled out in a sweet tone, laughing hysterically, "I knew exactly what that resentful little fish would think the first thing when it got its new toy: it would definitely want to spy on me from the opposite direction."

She stretched out a slender finger and waved it at the screen.

"Don't even think about it, hehe, I won't let you see it."

Then, two lines of text popped up on Xin Hai's control panel.

[WARNING: No-fly zone has been entered.]

[Connection severed, aircraft forced to return to base automatically.]

Xin Hai stood there, frozen in place.

Why can't we get through?

"Moon 2! What on earth is going on?" Xin Hai could only ask Moon 2.

Luna 2 analyzed: "According to the information, the Divine Child has probably set up a no-fly zone over Narukami Island, and your equipment cannot enter the airspace above Narukami Island."

Deceiving too much!

Even someone with a very good temper like him is now angry.

This woman is far too domineering!

Xin Hai immediately asked, "Moon Two, could you also designate Haizhi Island as a no-fly zone to prevent the Divine Child's equipment from entering?"

Luna 2 shook its head solemnly. "I'm sorry, I don't have control over the equipment that God Child has."

Xin Hai slumped his shoulders, utterly defeated.

Moon Two's tone shifted: "However—"

"But what?" Xin Hai suddenly looked up.

"This system is equipped with an ultra-high-precision air defense radar network." Luna 2 pointed to the giant, radar-dot-like device deep inside the cargo hold: "It can accurately identify any foreign machinery entering the airspace above Haiqi Island. With your authorization, I can take over the space-based cannons and all anti-aircraft firepower."

Xin Hai: "And then?"

Luna 2 smiled: "Then, the accompanying space-based weapons can physically shoot down the Divine Child's spying devices, but I don't recommend you do that."

"Because the Divine Child's equipment is exactly the same as yours. You can shoot down her floating telescope, and she can shoot down yours too."

With identical equipment, Xin Hai understood that since he also had the same pieces, he naturally had the right to negotiate.

"Alright!" Xin Hai raised his chin slightly, regaining his confidence as a commander. "Moon Two, send an urgent ultimatum to Yae no Miko."

"I hope to negotiate with her regarding the surveillance over the island of Haizhi."

Xin Hai wants Hai Zhi Island to be free from surveillance.

the other side.

Sumeru.

The next morning, the rising sun shone through the large French windows, casting a warm yellow glow into the dining room of the Farusian family home.

On the long, solid wood dining table, there were freshly baked pancakes, sizzling fried eggs, warm milk, and several jars of handmade jam.

No one cooked; Chen Bo bought the food from a street vendor on his way home when it was already dawn.

Chen Bo's spirits are not bad, because he can dispel his mental fatigue by running five kilometers.

Farusan picked up the steaming glass of milk in front of her.

Today, this centenarian was dressed in a light home dress. Her fair fingers held the handle of a ceramic cup, and her eyes, seemingly casual, kept staring at Chen Bo.

"Anil," Farusan coughed lightly, "Speaking of which, do you remember that beautiful editor-in-chief from Yaedo we met on our last trip to Inazuma?"

Just this one call.

Klee, sitting opposite, suddenly stopped moving, and Wendy also pricked up her ears, ready to watch the drama unfold. Only Klee was focused on eating.

And then there's Nasita, whose true form is sitting at the dining table.

The Moon series originally looked exactly like her original form.

Everyone in the room, except Chen Bo, treated her as a Moon series robot doll.

Only Chen Bo knew that this was the true form, the deity of Sumeru.

Nasida was also secretly watching the drama unfold.

Human beings are indeed extremely complex and fascinating creatures.

Last night, this group of people squatted in the treetops and watched the entire communication process clearly and thoroughly.

Now they're all pretending to know nothing at all.

It's very interesting.

Especially the confrontation between two people.

You think you're spying on me without my knowledge. Actually, I know you are, and I know you don't know I know you're spying on me.

When asked about Farusan's question, Chen Bo swallowed a piece of fried egg. The main characteristics of a scientific researcher are to be honest and open and to answer every question.

He nodded repeatedly, giving it a very high evaluation from the bottom of his heart.

"I remember her, I remember her very well. That editor-in-chief was not only beautiful and outstanding, but also decisive and shrewd in business. She was a very capable person in Inazuma."

Hearing Chen Bo's high score evaluation.

The air pressure on the dining table dropped sharply.

Cole ate his food bite by bite, while Wendy's shoulders twitched from trying to suppress her laughter.

Upon hearing her student praise the wild fox so openly to her face, Farusian's cheeks immediately puffed up, making her look like an angry pufferfish.

Pretty? Has wrists?

Has this silly boy been completely bewitched by that vixen?

Just as Farussan was about to launch into her persuasive speech...

Chen Bo took a big bite of the fried egg and continued the conversation in a slurred manner.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Senior Farusan for your great help in this matter."

Fiona paused for a moment: "Thank me?"

Chen Bo: "Didn't you help me organize and translate a lot of light novels before, senior?" Chen Bo swallowed his food, took a sip of water, and continued: "Those books were very popular in Inazuma."

"The thirteen books already published have sold a terrifying two million copies in total, making them sure to be annual bestsellers." Chen Bo smiled and looked at Farusan. "The Divine Child just paid me my first royalty payment. A full ten million Mora in cash."

"Given your hard work in translating and organizing all night, which is truly commendable, we'll split this money 50/50." After saying that, Chen Bo took out a money bag filled with large denomination Mora notes.

Although the money from the Divine Child has not yet arrived, Chen Bo has made a lot of money by selling capture mechs, and he has a considerable amount of spare cash left.

Chen Bo gave a thumbs up: "Senior, you're now Inazuma's best-selling author for the past month, the top cash cow of Yaedo! Our names are both listed in the author section."

A huge sum of money, tens of millions of Mora.

Bestselling author.

Money and fame came crashing down on them.

The words that Farussan was about to say suddenly became impossible to utter.

Damn it, it's completely blocked.

Naxi Da's little feet dangled back and forth on the chair.

Is this a coincidence or a cleverly calculated scheme?

It's clear that Farussan has something to say, but it seems she's been completely shut down.

Wendy, who was standing next to her, also clapped earnestly.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

I made a fortune on this trip.

This response to the potential offensive from Farusan is a textbook example of how to break the deadlock; this is truly satisfying to watch.
