I am the former civilized hero.

Ryan shook his head violently, and instinctively found the most reasonable explanation. This was a war, just as Mebius could never give up his pride.

Even if I, Ryan, run away and die at the hands of Honkai, I will never allow myself to be controlled by anyone.

The Fire Moth can't do it, the Herrscher can't do it, and you can't do it either.

Ryan took a deep breath, and he suddenly found that Mebius seemed to have changed a little, but some things were still stubborn, like deliberately bringing the twins Danzhu and Cangxuan with him, and he almost got caught because of his lack of vigilance.

The root of the disaster had already been planted. With Mebius's intelligence, he must have found a loophole and, at the right moment, made a fatal blow that I could not defend myself from.

No wonder he let me off so easily. It's not just because he was blinded by money. His mood changed so quickly when he called me last time. In the past, he would definitely take the opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks.

Okay, you’re trying to trick me, right? I almost took the bait.

Ryan exclaimed that he was lucky. Without Alicia's help, I really didn't notice this logical loophole and couldn't help but look at him with gratitude.

Hey, Ryan is thanking me.

Alicia had been observing secretly, her passionate heart becoming even hotter, and she quietly made an OK gesture.

Don't worry, I will break dear Mobius's defense soon.

???

Ryan was puzzled and didn't understand why Alicia made this gesture, but he knew she had a purpose, and a sentence flashed through his mind.

The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish.

He stood up calmly, took the plate to the wall, leaned against it, and was about to eat the melon.

"Oh, you caught me."

The voice suddenly sounded, and Ryan's body trembled. He turned his head in surprise and saw that the floor-to-ceiling glass on the wall was twisted, revealing a groove. He stretched his head and saw a person hiding inside. Wasn't it Wei Wei?

When the meeting was over, the guy disappeared, and then scared him like a female ghost.

"Why are you hiding here instead of eating properly?"

"Performing a magic trick and testing new equipment at the same time. You don't know, everyone who passed by here just now was scared to death. Hahaha, it's really funny."

Ryan then noticed that there were food scraps and plate fragments on the ground, which showed how scared the people passing by were. Looking at Weiwei again, she even changed into a bright red long skirt, wearing leather boots, and the round neckline made her peaks faintly visible.

Her brown and dark green hair and gradient eye color made her look strange and mysterious.

You even changed your clothes. Are you going to make a grand appearance later?

"You will have no friends if you do this, but this device is very interesting." Ryan found that Vivi was standing in something that looked like a coffin, and he didn't notice it at all, Vivi just blew herself up.

Even if it was because of his laxity, it was quite unexpected that the other party could hide under his nose for so long.

"But you still found it. It seems that my Ultimate Hidden System V3 needs to be improved." Weiwei scratched her head, looking distressed, and glanced at Ryan, "How about I explain it to you? This is based on the Mirage System and uses..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Can you cut to the chase?" Ryan didn't want to listen to another three-hour report.

"But if I don't explain it clearly, how can you marvel at my genius? How about I compress it to one hour? Well, it can't be shortened any further!"

Seeing that Wei Wei didn't want to discuss, Ryan didn't rush and said slowly: "Well, if you make a big hole in the banquet hall and pretend to be a ghost to scare people, if Mei knew about this..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a hand covering his mouth.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying!"

Chapter 178 You want my people, and you also want my money!

Just as May treated Ryan as a self-propelled ATM machine, Ryan could also use the power of others to bully others. He just threw all the offending things onto the other party, and now it seems to be very effective.

Wei Liwei was really scared, so she reduced the one-hour content to ten minutes again. It was easy to explain if she wanted to.

This device, called 'Ultimate Hidden System V3', can block energy, conceal infrared, optical and other characteristics, leaving only metaphysical intuition.

Quite interesting. It is indeed an evolved version of the Mirage system. It would be great if the range could be expanded so that I would not be detected by Skynet.

Ryan had seen that thing in Snow Prison Town. It was similar to the phantom wall in a certain soul-related work. It could block his sight, but it couldn't block the Honkai energy. When the 'wind' he controlled blew past it, he could immediately see the flaw.

If this difficult-to-read thing is used, those secret passages will definitely not be discovered and the Pseudo-Lawyer can be hidden.

He tried it with his authority, and the energy was bounced off the surface without any abnormality.

Ryan stroked his smooth chin, and his eyes looked gentle towards Weiwei.

Although he only thinks about one thing at a time, his brain is really useful. How can he come up with such magical props?

There are not many people who can convince him, and Wei Erwei must be one of them, and she is particularly easy to fool.

There was only one thought in the girl's big eyes: Praise me, praise me.

"Ahem, you are a genius. Think of a way to make this device portable. It's not pretty to carry a coffin around. And the range needs to be expanded to at least cover a football field."

After he finished speaking, Weiwei was a little disappointed, thinking that Ryan's reaction was too bland. This just happened to arouse the magician's desire to win. She grabbed Ryan's hand and dragged him out.

"That's a good idea. Come with me. I have something good to show you!"

Wait, why do I suddenly get excited?

Ryan wanted to refuse, but a vicious look from behind made him change his mind immediately. He knew who the look came from without turning around.

Why didn't you help me get Alicia away, and you were actually doing experiments next to me!

What kind of ruthless character is Alicia? She is still in high spirits now. If I am not careful, my defense will be broken. How dare she go up and give herself a head?

Can't help, bye.

He decisively gave up resistance and followed Wei Wei out of the banquet hall. When the door closed, he was completely cut off from the noise and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's safe now.

He glanced at the excited Wei Wei in front of him and quickened his pace to catch up with her. He wanted to see what strange things this "green skin" had come up with in the past six months.

The various departments of the Fire Moth have been slowly integrated, so there is no need to go to Velvet's old nest on an island, pass through heavy guards, take the elevator, go deep underground, and then pass through several heavy explosion-proof doors.

The corridor is still being debugged and the ceiling has not been completed, but the area is taking shape and there is not a single construction worker in sight.

Small robots the size of a palm were crawling everywhere, some working together to carry equipment, and some with welding lights emitting from their 'fingertips'. A corridor was taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ventilation system and circuits inside all corresponded to the design drawings without the slightest error.

Ryan finally understood why the fortress was built so quickly. With these things working tirelessly, their efficiency was hundreds of times faster than that of humans. He slowly squatted down, put his hands on the floor, and used electromagnetic perspective to "see" the scene below.

A giant shield machine was digging in the rock, emitting beams of light in all directions like flowers from heaven. Then a hole of square meters appeared, and hundreds of small robots immediately followed and began to reinforce the surroundings.

"What a sci-fi building scene! I now understand why the Fire Moth retreated so decisively."

No wonder the Fire Moths dared to abandon large tracts of land and people. As far as fighting the Honkai is concerned, most humans are a burden and are of no use at all. Even for this kind of logistical construction work, one Velvet is enough to replace a million people.

It's cruel, but this is the real world. There are very few people like Alicia.

At this time, several robots like traffic lights approached, and the light curtains they emitted swept over Weiwei.

"Beep, verification completed. Welcome back, great magician."

"Beep, permission granted. Welcome, Mr. Mentor of Destiny."

Green lights flash on their bodies. Apart from the somewhat childish name, they are quite useful. At least they have a certain degree of artificial intelligence.

"What is a destiny mentor??"

"Because joining the Fire Moth gave me the opportunity to display my talents, and these are the changes you brought about."

Ryan was about to nod happily when he was suddenly flattered by someone, but he felt the tone was wrong.

"I?"

"Long time no see, Mr. Ryan." Weiwei turned around and bowed gently. The seamless transition between personalities made Ryan unable to recover.

What wind blew you out?

"Is this a thank you?"

"Yes, I will prove my worth with results. Please follow me."

The last layer of explosion-proof doors opened, revealing a dark corridor. Ryan hesitated for a moment and followed.

No matter what Weiwei is doing, the 'self' personality is easier to communicate with than the 'magician' personality, and at least her blood pressure will be stable.

There was transparent glass on both sides of the corridor. Lights kept lighting up as he walked forward, and then Ryan's expression and eyes changed.

The robot, a robot that only appears in science fiction novels, is in the hangar outside the glass. It is about ten meters tall, with cables all over its body, and its heavy armor reflects the faint light.

It's really a Gundam.

The dark, thick muzzle looked very powerful, and the armor was made of a special alloy, which was much better than the scrap copper and iron that Weiwei had collected from the garbage dump before.

"If you had used this thing in Changkong City, I would definitely not have been able to defeat you."

“But you are also growing.” Wei Wei, now looking dull and introverted, explained: “The space below will be built into an assembly plant, and the display cases here will continue to be filled.”

Display case? It really looked like a display case filled with toys, except that each one was a terrifying killing tool.

Ryan walked through the corridor, looking at each one and asking occasionally. In addition to the robots used directly in combat, there were also the latest Honkai energy cores, which had an output power increase of 200%, enough to support some terrifying weapons.

In addition, some weapons made of soul steel were also placed everywhere, ranging from firearms to cold weapons. As for some strange things, let alone them, it was impossible to tell what their function was from their appearance.

Wei Wei finally stopped, turned around, and smiled: "Mr. Ryan, are you satisfied with my work?"

"I am absolutely satisfied. Your value is immeasurable." Ryan was not very good at complimenting people. After thinking for a while, he said, "You and Mebius have extended two technological trees of human civilization. Your importance can be ranked equally."

Of course, it would be great if we could correct the problem of wasting money. Color-changing stockings are totally unnecessary.

He added silently in his heart, but did not say it out loud to discourage Wei Wei's enthusiasm.

"really?"

"It's absolutely true. I think every one of your works is a treasure of civilization." Ryan said righteously. Anyway, my 'self' Wei Wei is a socially anxious person, so no matter how much praise she gives, she will not get carried away.

Weiwei tilted her head slightly and tapped the wall. A mechanical arm stretched out and disassembled from the center, revealing a strange structure.

Ryan was very curious at first, but finally found out that this thing was fancy and essentially a coffee machine, except that the way it made coffee was very fancy. Vivi also considerately attached bionic skin to one of his palms.

He immediately understood why Mei cut the funding. Wei Wei was always so persistent in meaningless things.

"Including this one?" Weiwei picked up the cup from the replica arm and snapped her fingers.

The ceiling also cracked, and a conveyor belt appeared in front of Ryan, and then the cup of coffee was delivered to him.

Ryan took a sip, and as a coffee lover, his eyes lit up.

The temperature is just right, the taste is just right, just like a professional barista brewing it, and then...

Is this why you spend hundreds of thousands of euros?
