Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

Chapter 126 Meeting

Just as Yuma finished adjusting the camera, Keitaro left through the gate of the Smart Brain Company and ran towards them.

"I—got—the woodyard's contact information."

He was panting, his face beaming with excitement.

"Why didn't the company ask you for the lumberyard's contact information?"

Qian Qiao sensed something was amiss; things seemed to be progressing a little too smoothly.

Would Brainpower really deliver such important information directly to Keitaro?

"Of course I asked."

"They even asked me why I knew about Yuji Kiba."

Seeing the reactions of Takumi and Mari, Keitaro quickly tried to smooth things over.

"I said, I've known Kiba for a long time, but I just couldn't find him before."

"I happened to spot Kiba at the Zhinao Company today, so I thought I'd contact my friend and catch up."

After hearing what Keitaro said next, Yuma gave Keitaro a thumbs up.

"Sometimes, Keitaro's reactions are exceptionally quick-witted."

As long as the news of Qian Qiao's appearance doesn't reach the ears of the Smart Brain Company, they will remain in the shadows.

The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark; the advantage lies with us!

However, Inui Takumi's slight doubts were dispelled by Keitaro's explanation.

"Try contacting Kiba Yuji first; we don't need to keep an eye on things here anymore."

Yuzhen looked at the well-hidden camera and nodded in satisfaction.

Next, all they need to do is retrieve the camera periodically and observe the changes in the number of people entering and leaving.

"I'll contact them right away."

Keitaro took out his phone and, with trembling hands, entered the number into it.

"Beep 1"

After pressing the answer button, the long beeping tone made everyone's hearts tighten, fearing that no one would answer.

"Beep—ding."

Fortunately, the call was answered after the second ring. Keitaro carefully held the phone to his ear, but there was no sound on the other end.

Seeing the urging look in Mari's eyes, he swallowed hard and slowly opened his mouth: "Excuse me, is this Kiba?"

After he spoke, a long pause was followed by a reply: "Is that Keitaro?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Keitaro's fear subsided, replaced by excitement: "Yes, it's me!"

"Kiba, I have something I'd like to talk to you about—"

He was only halfway through his sentence when he was abruptly interrupted: "Keitaro, my life is good now, and it will be good in the future."

"—This world is good as it is."

After saying that, Yuji Kiba hurriedly hung up the phone.

"

'

Keitaro's hands-free phone was on the whole time, so the others could hear what he was saying, and they immediately fell silent.

"It seems Kiba feels that his current life is just right."

Yuzhen raised her head and looked at the iconic emblem of the AI ​​company, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

"So what do we do now?"

Having lost contact with Kiba, Keitaro hung his head, somewhat dejected.

"Have you seen what Kiba's position is at the AI ​​company?"

Yuma pondered for a moment, then asked Keitaro.

Since a direct meeting isn't working, let's try another approach.

"It seems to be some kind of security minister; there's a four-leaf clover medal hanging after his name."

Keitaro scratched his head; he wasn't particularly knowledgeable about this either.

Although his dream was almost shattered, his wariness of the Brainpower company never disappeared.

Aside from handling his regular business, he almost subconsciously ignored the Smart Brain Company located in the city center.

"The Minister of Security?"

"I'll call him directly through the dedicated channels of Smart Brain Company later."

Yuzhen quickly devised a plan.

"No, it's a dedicated channel. Where do we get it from—?"

"You don't need to trouble yourself with that."

Yuuma smiled confidently. He had spent so much time in the Kabuto world, and he had improved quite a bit.

Although he hadn't fully mastered the ultimate realm of the Heavenly Dao, he had grasped a fraction of it, which was enough to handle most situations.

Watching Yuuma walk away quickly, Mari and Keitaro, who were still standing there, were a little confused.

"He really is a strange person."

Truth muttered softly.

"He's not weird; he just has a complete sense of self-confidence."

Qian Qiao patted Zhenli's head and explained to her.

"In their world, there are men who shine as brightly as the sun."

Thinking back to the immense aura that the Heavenly Dao brought when he first met it, Qian Qiao couldn't help but smile.

"And Yuzhen, although not as dazzling as the sun, is no less radiant than the sun in the slightest."

With his keen eye, Inui Takumi saw through Yuuma's philosophy long ago.

"They're always praising them, but in my opinion, A-Qiao is just as good as anyone else."

Keitaro and Mari said in unison.

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other, then turned their heads away to avoid each other's gaze.

"Me?"

Thinking about his own experiences, Qian Qiao sighed.

He may have once been as confident as Yuuma, but the oppressive feeling brought by the world destroyer has dampened his spirits by half.

"I have no dreams, and I have gradually lost the courage to protect the dreams of others."

In the battle before that, if it weren't for Yuuma's encouragement, he wouldn't have had the desire to fight at all.

Qian Qiao clenched her hands, a wave of sorrow washing over her.

In less than an hour, Yuzhen returned.

The three were quite surprised to see Yuuma's completely transformed demeanor.

He changed into a well-tailored suit, carried a briefcase, and wore a pair of standard gold-rimmed glasses.

"I've already obtained the dedicated contact number for BrainPower Company."

Yuzhen pushed up her glasses, her face serious.

"no----?"

Keitaro's chin almost touched the ground. He had never imagined that a person could switch identities so quickly.

Is that correct?

Yuuma smiled dismissively at Keitaro's shock.

This is an incredibly advanced stealth skill from the Heavenly Dao! Of course that's true.

As for how the Heavenly Dao can always appear in various locations, using different identities—

Ordinary people should mind their own business when it comes to Kamen Rider!

"Alright, it's time to make the call through internal channels."

After letting Keitaro straighten his jaw drop in surprise, Yuuma took out his newly acquired phone and entered a number.

This time, the outcome was completely different from that of Keitaro.

"Hello, sir."

The operator on the other end spoke respectfully.

"Excuse me, would you like to be transferred to Manager Kiba's call?"

"Yes, I have a business deal to discuss with him."

After a brief chat, the operator quickly transferred the call, ensuring that Yuji Kiba's voice could be heard immediately.

"Is that Manager Kiba?"

Yuuma's extremely casual tone gave Mari and Keitaro a new understanding of Yuuma's abilities.

"It's me, Mr. Hoshino. Is there a business deal you'd like to discuss with us?"

Kiba's words carried a hint of a smile.

When it comes to business, it's all about performance!

The company is facing intense competition, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of performance.

"Yes, 3 PM, Corner Cafe."

"This deal could get you promoted another notch."

After delivering the information, Yuuma promptly hung up the phone, giving Kiba Yuuji no chance to inquire further.

As long as the right medicine is prescribed, all problems can be solved.

The specific actions to take in this matter have been fully realized at this moment.

"Although I don't know what happened to Yuji Kiba, I can confirm that he is currently very focused on this deal."

After recounting the information she had gathered, Yuma prepared to wait at the location she had chosen.

"Let's go together, and while we're at it, think about what questions you want to ask each other."

The group got into the van and drove away from the corner, leaving behind only a small camera hidden in the grass.
