The bride smiled shyly, looked at Li Tie with deep affection, and said, "You are a hero, and you will always be a hero in my heart!"

Meanwhile, the word "hero" was flooding the live stream chat.

A leave slip from the beginning of the month... for an inflamed eye.

I'm so sorry, I need to take a day off... My eyes are really so sore, I'm going to be lying down. I'll update more tomorrow!

Chapter 49 The Battlefield Without Gunfire

Krober, Shanghai.

The Huanle District International Hotel was the accommodation for the Shangqiu diplomatic delegation.

Like the Rainbow Theatre, the International Hotel is a landmark building in the entertainment district. Unlike the modern headquarters of IBC, the building is like a huge castle, heavy and full of historical significance.

The huge lawn in front of the International Hotel and the gentle slopes on both sides of the entrance were particularly stunning to Zhou Mingrui.

Then he saw many Krober police officers on duty, especially in the entertainment area, where there were many police officers. Zhou Mingrui also saw the familiar silver-gray police.

Unexpectedly, after joining the support department, Ellie became someone who was needed wherever she was asked to do something.

He winked at Ellie and led the two little girls into the grand hotel.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the oldest hotel in Krober. This way, please..."

The attendant bowed slightly and then led Zhou Mingrui to the reserved room.

Compared to the rustic exterior, the hotel's interior was very modern; Zhou Mingrui at least noticed the elevators and the internal telephone communication system in the corridors.

The corridor floor was covered with a soft red carpet, the walls on both sides were covered with modern soft padding, and there was a light fixture at intervals.

Zhou Mingrui glanced at the oil painting hanging on the wall and thought it was alright... For someone who doesn't understand oil painting, all they can tell is whether it's good or bad; they have no idea about the techniques or anything else.

The waiter seemed to sense Zhou Mingrui's confusion and began to introduce the oil paintings on the wall and the historical figures depicted in them. He also briefly introduced the history of the hotel, which was indeed a historic place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you may not know this, but Clober was originally part of Rebonia, and this grand hotel was once the property of a noble family."

"Later, as the territorial dispute between the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva escalated, the Rebonian Empire ultimately decided to separate the Krobel Autonomous Region, where the conflict was most severe..."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, sir. Your room is just ahead."

Zhou Mingrui politely thanked the waiter. As for separating them, it was simply a buffer zone. It's not a good thing for two powerful countries to be close together, as it can easily lead to conflict. But with a buffer zone, things would be different. Or to put it more bluntly, Krobel was a "deflator" prepared by the Rebonian Empire and the Republic of Calva.

When the internal conflicts between the two countries become irreconcilable, they will definitely turn their attention to Klopp, shifting the internal conflicts to external ones to alleviate domestic pressure.

After turning the corner in the corridor, you arrive at Zhou Mingrui's room. Compared to the presidential suite and deluxe standard rooms of the Rabbit Diplomatic Team, Zhou Mingrui's room with his two cats is very ordinary... so ordinary that opening the door feels like stepping into history.

The dark wood, polished to a glossy finish, exudes a sense of history. Although I don't know its price, it's definitely not cheap.

Timber is really expensive, much more so than steel, which is usually very cheap. This is one of the main civilian markets that Shangqiu is developing, and expensive timber is a rare resource.

Don't be fooled by the hype from sellers about particleboard... particleboard is nowhere near as good as solid wood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have arrived at your rooms. The Rainbow Theatre is right across the street from the hotel. To welcome our guests from afar, Miss Ilya has recently added more performances, which you can watch for free... The theatre is located on the west side of the plaza in front of the hotel."

"Thank you. I'm also very curious about the Rainbow Theatre Company."

The servant, who had always maintained an elegant demeanor, immediately straightened up, and his formulaic smile became sincere: "As long as you mention Miss Ilya to me, we're best buddies!"

"Miss Ilya will not disappoint you. There are other entertainment options in the entertainment area, and all your expenses will be reimbursed by IBC International Bank."

"us?"

IBC International Bank reimbursement? Zhou Mingrui was stunned. Shouldn't it go through the government's account? Why is it going through a private account? There must be something fishy going on here!

"Yes, sir, it's you and the ladies. This is the eldest young lady's order."

After the introductions were completed, the attendant gave an elegant bow and turned to leave.

Miss...Ellie? Zhou Mingrui immediately felt that Ellie was really thoughtful.

Meanwhile, at the IBC headquarters building.

"Ahh~"

Mary suddenly sneezed in the CEO's office.

IBC President Korouis looked at his daughter beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

“It’s nothing, I think Ellie just misses me…” Mary rubbed her nose, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, “…we’re going to negotiate with the delegation from Shangqiu tomorrow.”

"Yes, they are very difficult to deal with. Their currency has already entered the market of the Kingdom of Bel... It's only a matter of time before they enter Crobel!"

Kourois rubbed his temples, his head aching. As the president of an international bank, he knew all too well what would happen when the RMB from Shangqiu entered Krobel—a war fought without visible smoke, yet one of extreme danger.

"Okay, Bell, this is your room, and Tio's room is that one..."

The room was very large, enough for four people to stay together. Zhou Mingrui first assigned rooms to the two kittens, and then Shi Qiang chose the room closest to the door.

"...Let's rest for a bit first. If things go well tonight, I'll take you to the entertainment area."

"Okay, Lao Zhou~" x2

Hearing that Zhou Mingrui was taking them out to play, the two kittens looked up at Zhou Mingrui, their amber eyes brightening, and carried their small suitcases printed with Missie and a black rabbit to their respective rooms.

It wasn't until the two kittens came into the house that Zhou Mingrui turned to look at Shi Qiang. He was deeply shocked by the fact that the two kittens were calling him "Old Zhou." He wasn't even married yet, so how did he become "Old Zhou"?

Shi Qiang paused for a moment, unsure how to explain. The children... it's normal for them not to like having a stepmother, and these two little girls are quite clever; they'll definitely take countermeasures. This is just the simplest tactic yet; once they feel their position is threatened...

To be honest, the loli, who has been bombarded with modern education and information, will soon show Zhou Mingrui what a "shu loli field" is!

"Alright, let's go to the entertainment festival tonight and see just how far the famous Krober entertainment industry has developed."

The rabbits' first task was to investigate Krobel's economy, as the most bustling entertainment district in Krobel could truly reflect the real situation of Krobel.

Chapter 50 9 to 5

Compared to the life-and-death struggles of the Krober gang, the Red Star in Shangqiu is very disciplined. Everyone who participates in Red Star, whether they are "rabbits" or some locals who are gradually becoming "rabbit-like," works a regular 9-to-5 job, clocks in and out, and gets paid on the 9th of each month.

At the entrance of Red Star headquarters, Locke, with his striking red hair and flamboyant hairstyle, lifted his bangs to reveal his face and faced the card reader.

I glanced at the time... 8:58. Luckily, I wasn't late.

Locke cherished this job. Not only did it provide social insurance and housing fund benefits, but the salary was also quite good, and meals and accommodation were included. It was even said that if you performed well, they would hold regular matchmaking events... to help you get married! This was something Locke never dared to dream of.

All he had to do was follow the captain, though he preferred to call him "boss"... He would go out to pick up goods with the boss, and all he had to do was act tough, have a weird hairstyle, and be a background figure.

This kind of job was perfect for Locke, who only had strength and a fierce appearance. It didn't require him to use his brain, and the people here took good care of him!

As the time clock beeped: "Beep, you've checked in! Thank you!"

Locke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the familiar notification sound; if he was late, he would lose his perfect attendance bonus!

After entering the unassuming Red Star headquarters, Locke greeted the old man guarding the gate.

Good morning, Lao Xia~

"Here you are, Locke. I heard you're going to pick up another shipment today?" The old man guarding the gate put down his newspaper, looked at Locke with his punk hairstyle, and asked.

"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed!" Locke gave a serious, albeit slightly off-key, salute. "I'll strive to join the organization as soon as possible!"

"Hahaha..."

Old Xia smiled and shook his head. Locke had already passed the initial screening to get into Red Star; the rest depended on the internal instructors at Red Star.

In Shangqiu, regularly receiving the Truth Pills from the cult has become a routine business. The cult members deliver the goods, and the Red Star members pay, while also trying to gather some information about the cult.

It doesn't take much. Today, find out what they eat; tomorrow, find out about the scenery. Over time, with the help of expert analysis, sooner or later, the entire organization's secrets will be exposed.

Stable Truth? This has enabled Shangqiu to make rapid progress in its research on Truth, a magical drug capable of modifying DNA.

Once Shangqiu figurees out how to artificially synthesize truth, they'll send the rabbit's truth over there so the religious order can witness the Black Rabbit's wrath!

Location: Abyss Sea.

Time: 23:47

Dark clouds covered the entire area where the Xirang Base was located!

Click!Click!

Boom! Boom!

The waves were no longer peaceful and tranquil as usual; they surged in like the mouths of black beasts, and the occasional blinding flashes of lightning, like sharp blades, forced the seawater to rise with the force, creating an overwhelming and inescapable momentum.

The person in charge of the Xirang base was writing something in his notebook.

Boom boom boom!

The door opened, and the old man, who held the rank of lieutenant general, looked up at the door. He saw Lao Feng, who was in charge of political work, walk into the office.

"This damn weather..."

"You should be thankful that the weather log recorded the duration and intensity of the storm... We were prepared for this battle."

As for who wrote the weather log... I have no idea, and I dare not ask.

"...I have increased the security level to prevent those sea fish from coming ashore."

Storms have a great impact on humans, but for those fish-men, they have long been adapted to this environment.

"Old Li, it's about to start in the lab... Academician Lu will be going up there personally today."

"Let's go take a look."

Old Li got up and followed Old Feng out of the office.

The notebook on the desktop had fourteen characters written on it: "The Sea of ​​Death yields jade nectar, the Tianshan Mountains serve as a screen and the Kunlun Mountains as a barrier."

The Xirang Base, a Level 4 biochemical laboratory.
