I am the former civilized hero.

"Shut your stinky mouth and eat!!"

"I'm complimenting you, and how can you eat if you keep your mouth shut?"

Ryan glanced at the noisy round table. A dozen people were sitting around the table, holding chopsticks or knives and forks, all looking at him.

"I'm here, why are you panicking?"

Without thinking, he ran to the empty seat between Alicia and Hua, his 'throne'.

Chapter 325: Be a Hard-core Man

The beef offal stew was delicious, but the thousand calamities made it a little twisted.

Of course it tastes very good, but if you speak in a sarcastic tone, I will get angry immediately, and if you praise it highly, I will say something foul-mouthed.

"Go away, I don't need your flattery."

"You need to be praised for something so simple, are you a loser?"

"A lazy bum is qualified to judge me? Get lost!"

Anyway, although they are both stubborn, the hot-tempered older brother will often make you speechless, which makes people miss the slow and leisurely tone of Mobius.

As they chatted and laughed, dinner was quickly finished. Someone naturally went to wash the dishes. Qianjie dropped the dishes and went back to his room. He had been a little anxious recently and did not mention the duel again.

I heard that Mei had already analyzed it for him. If he couldn't achieve artificial collapse, he would only suffer when facing Ryan even if he underwent super transformation surgery. He had experienced similar suffering many times in simulated battles and really had no interest in it.

The purpose of fighting is to win, and if there is no hope of winning at all, it is better to stay alive and develop. However, the fire in his heart is burning so fiercely that he is about to get internal injuries. Seeing Ryan's lazy appearance, he becomes even more angry.

"Haha, Brother Jie, I'm growing faster than you. My confidence after playing the simulator is about to be dampened again."

Ryan was holding the teacup, looking very enjoyable. He had heard that Qianjie got the first kill, and it was just the time when his confidence was boosted. Then came the battle of Donggong, and Ryan tore everything apart almost without any effort.

He was not in a hurry at all. As long as the agreement was still there, Qianjie would be more obedient. He heard that Mei's suggestion to let him lead the team was also approved.

That woman is really sinister, Qianjie can never beat her, but now I have Mei to take care of official matters and Alicia to take care of personal matters, so I just need to be a hands-off boss.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and saw Eden writing and drawing on the table, so he leaned over curiously: "Eden, what are you doing?"

"I just got some inspiration for the work Alicia asked me to do." The girl with burgundy hair slid her notebook over and explained, "It's the team uniform and the team song. Well, the badge counts as well."

Ah, I should have known that Alicia would be excited.

He covered his face after taking one look. How should I put it? Eden is indeed a jewel of civilization. Its artistic talent is much stronger than Alicia's. Those uniforms are exquisite and practical, but Ryan still felt ashamed after seeing them.

During the long-term fighting, he always dressed very simply, usually in a suit or a white coat, without much embellishment. High EQ means it's casual, while low EQ means it's poverty-obsessed.

"Such a beautiful dress must have cost a lot of money. It would be a shame if it was damaged."

"I'm going to ask Wei Erwei to develop a nano material. It shouldn't be so easy to damage. If it breaks, I can just replace it. I'll prepare a few more sets as backup."

Ryan looked at the super rich woman dimly, thinking that he hadn't even received his salary yet. Moreover, although these clothes were gorgeous, the tights, narrow-legged pants, and a lot of complicated decorations made an old man like him feel embarrassed.

In terms of clothing taste, he is on the same level as Hua. His clothing cannot be said to be ugly, but at least it is very ordinary.

Just then, the cell phone made a beeping sound. I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Wei Erwei.

The design sketch had been drawn up, and he immediately clicked it with some joy.

"I don't need it. I asked Weiwei to make me a set of armor in advance."

"Extreme pragmatism? But I think as the general manager, you still have to care about your appearance. A striking appearance can at least boost morale." Eden raised her eyebrows. She was an expert in designing appearance. She looked over with some dissatisfaction, and then was stunned.

Ryan was also stunned, blinking continuously, and understood why 'Joy' said that he didn't have the whimsical ideas of 'Magician'.

It was a heavy exoskeleton over two meters high, with a backpack powered by a Honkai engine on its back. It looked like an ordinary tin can. The thick chest armor and cylindrical arm armor were full of industrial beauty. It also had a helmet similar to Iron Man's. It looked...

It's been a bit of a weird thing lately, right? If equipped with a bolter and a chainsword, wouldn't this be a mutated version of Astartes ceramic armor?

Loyal appearance, extreme pragmatism, Ryan closed his eyes again and simulated the scene of himself putting on this powered exoskeleton.

The two-meter-tall monster rushed into the enemy camp and violently tore into pieces everything in front of it. He finally understood why "Joy" Vilvi would design such a mediocre thing.

The most efficient killing, the heavily-armored monsters covered in blood, charging like a demon, and annihilating the enemies with all kinds of weapons, this is the highest pleasure, a pleasure that can make one of the four vendors laugh wildly.

It was truly a pleasure, and even my heart beats faster when I think about it.

"This thing is too ordinary, and it's very different from my design style. It's like an industrial product." Eden frowned, looked at the design drawing in his hand, and then at the drawing on the phone. They were completely in two different dimensions.

Exquisite art and crude industrial products are obviously not on the same level.

"Extreme pragmatism is also an art. I think there's nothing wrong with being a little hardcore." Ryan was very satisfied. He thought of the 'Weakening Divine Song' he had heard in his previous life. It's also very handsome to be a hardcore man. It has higher practical value and can be industrialized and mass-produced.

"As for the style of the painting, can everyone equip a set? Besides, this is just a rough draft, and the appearance can be improved a bit."

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Alysia's head popped out from behind him, her face full of determination: "It's not beautiful at all, it looks like a tin can."

Why would I become such a big and thick thing? I have gained weight recently, so wouldn't my size have expanded several times in an instant? Then what's the point of losing weight?

The girl who ate the most beef offal hotpot in the evening was muttering to herself. No matter what Ryan said about the hardcore beauty of this industrial style, she kept shaking her head, and the noise also attracted other people.

Handsome!

Kosmo was immediately fascinated by it. The cold armor and the terrifying butcher knife made the boy's second-year soul burn. It was obviously an efficient and cold-blooded killing weapon. He thought that it was worthy of being Ryan. Even his aesthetic taste was full of masculinity.

Unfortunately, other people's reactions made him afraid to speak, so he could only quietly give Ryan a thumbs up.

"This thing can hold three pardos, so I'd better forget it."

"Yes, I think what Miss Eden said is right. Looking better will make you feel better after all."

"Ryan, I'm an assassin. Isn't this a bit too high-profile?"

"This looks like a robot from a cartoon. Can Grace draw on it?"

......

There was a lot of chatter, and there was no authority in the Golden Courtyard. Everyone spoke freely, and Ryan curled his lips when he heard that the majority of voices were against it.

These women have no idea what hardcore beauty is. Never mind. They are just icing on the cake in terms of combat effectiveness and are of no benefit to me.

He suddenly realized that a pile of tin cans could not be as beautiful as thighs in stockings, so he did not promote it forcefully. He just said that it would be equipped to middle and lower-level soldiers in the future. Now no one objected.

The built-in Honkai energy engine can improve combat effectiveness, which is of great benefit to ordinary fusion warriors who do not have enough Honkai energy.

The matter was decided happily. Ryan was cautious by nature and thought that it would be better to make the armor thicker to look more handsome, and it was obviously very handsome.

He scratched his ear. Before he could instill the art of hardcore into Eden, the latter was dragged to the bathhouse by Alicia. Then, during the time he was away, everyone obviously got used to it.

A group of women were clamoring and taking their clean clothes to go to the underground hot spring, which immediately made the noisy room quiet.

Ryan stared at the clock in a daze, the vicious smell called "salted fish" creeping up on him again. Considering that he had something to do recently, he slowly stood up and looked at Su who was reading quietly.

"Would you like to go for a walk?"

"At a time like this? Forget it. I still have some papers to revise."

"Information about Honkai Disease?"

"Well, even if I was brought here, I wasn't going to give up."

Ryan took a deep breath and had no intention of disturbing his friend. He just said that if there was any problem, he could go to Mebius. She was an expert in this field and knew that Su was feeling very upset.

Super-transformation surgery always makes people feel uneasy.

"By the way, I have relevant information on my computer. If you can't find it, ask Kosmo for help."

"Your...foreign language material?"

"Of course it's genetics!"

.....

Now the Golden Courtyard has finally been built, and there shouldn't be any more residents from now on.

The street lights were dim, lengthening the shadows of people. Ryan walked on the cobblestone road. Because the residents of the underground city had undergone strict political review, and after the expulsion of the Ruler's Dominant, this might be the safest place on earth.

People have different levels of closeness. He is closest to the people in the Golden Courtyard, followed by Coleman, Vinar, Andwich and other colleagues at work. He deliberately created a wheel-shaped management structure.

This way, we can focus on the key points. Our real strength is insufficient, so of course we must protect the people in the center, so we are not in a hurry at all.

This kind of life is very comfortable, and it doesn't matter how long the collapse lasts, but he knows that the next Herrscher will be terrifying, and he will make targeted adjustments to the extreme.

It doesn't matter. He fights his own battles and I do mine. First, let Su and Eden complete the super transformation surgery, and then advance the wandering human plan. Only then can we fight a decisive battle with Honkai without any burden.

"Your Excellency the Chief!"

The guard stood at attention and saluted. Ryan then realized that he had accidentally walked into the headquarters and paused for a moment at the main entrance.

Should I go to Mei to ask about the formation situation?

He thought about it and felt that Mei must be looking after Kevin at this time. It would be too self-abuse to stuff dog food into his mouth in the middle of the night. He licked his lips again and could vaguely smell the taste of coffee.

What on earth did Mobius do while I was unconscious?

Chapter 326: Mobius's Kiss

Damn it, damn it!

Deep in the gloomy laboratory, the computer screen was flashing brightly, and a white fist hit the tumbler hard, hitting Ryan's face in the photo.

Huhu.

Mebius took a few deep breaths and looked at the wrinkled face in the photo. The more he looked at it, the angrier he became. He punched the doll again, but unfortunately he didn't use Honkai energy, and his punch only made the doll roll back and forth.

She was angry, half at Ryan and half at herself.

Why can't I take that step at the critical moment? Am I really that afraid of being rejected? Will I really be rejected?

Mebius didn't know either, because there were still competitors. Once rejected, all her pride would be shattered, her world would be completely turned upside down, and she had no idea what she would do.

"Doctor, if you want to go back, go ahead and I'll take care of the finishing work." Klein stood quietly at the door. She was the only one who could enter this confidential laboratory.

Mebius did not answer, but asked: "Klein, do you think I lack courage? I never care about the consequences."

"Humans are more cautious about things they care about the more they value them, but I think you are too gentle."

"Gentle? Why?"

Klein licked his lips. He was reluctant to speak at first, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "You care not only about the General Manager, but also about Miss Alicia, Miss Ying, Miss Hua, and others. I don't want to ruin this long-awaited life because of myself."

“How is it possible that I would look forward to such a boring life?!” Mobius’ voice suddenly became sharp, and when he saw the silent Klein, his lips moved slightly.
