A Maybach on a rainy night? Talk to my Levadin!

Sigh, I've really gone to great lengths for Rhodes Island...

P.S.: I'm so sorry there's only one chapter today. Heaven is truly cruel to me. I moved today and shipped things, including my computer. I was planning to do some cleaning at home and then go to an internet cafe to write and update, but right after I finished cleaning, there was a thunderstorm outside. I thought I'd wait until the rain subsided before going out, and take a shower first since I was all sweaty from cleaning. But while drying my feet, I slipped and fell, scraping a piece of flesh off my finger. It swelled up after a while. The thunder and rain got even stronger, and just as I was about to go out, I was struck by lightning in the neighborhood and died. I was too scared to go. This chapter was read aloud by Yuyin Broadcasting. I'll resume updates at the internet cafe tomorrow. Sorry everyone.

Chapter 200 Zhao Zizhan: The pharmaceutical company must save lives.

Things always have two sides. Just as Raidian never expected that Fenrir, the otherworldly behemoth that was as big as a small hill and had a ferocious appearance, would be so popular with the children, the children had already changed into light shorts and t-shirts and were chattering as they lined up.

When it was their turn, they climbed onto Fenrir's broad back using both hands and feet, sliding down the gentle curve of its spine. The wind whistled in their ears, Fenrir's scales were extremely smooth, and its huge bone spikes were natural obstacles for gliding.

When three people are together, there is bound to be a genius. Fenrir became a brand new speed skating racing event.

Dodging obstacles, it slides to the tail and leaps high into the air with the momentum, like a feathered beast, drawing a short but dazzling arc in the air before splashing into the pool not far away with a "plop".

This is undoubtedly the most wonderful activity for children during the hot summer.

But among these children, several particularly conspicuous figures could always be seen: one with feathers on his head, one wearing a fisherman's hat, one with sunglasses and a full beard, one with large cat ears...

Influenced by these people, the children of the Reunion Movement gradually lowered their guard and cautiously joined the party.

They were initially a little reserved, standing aside and watching from a distance, until a child from the Yeti team was pushed forward by his companion. Fenrir seemed to sense his nervousness and gently touched his little hand with his nose. His docile demeanor instantly dispelled the child's concerns. Soon, more and more members of the Yeti team joined in, and the winter night of Ursus was melted by the blazing sun of Rembiton, transforming into clusters of blooming laughter.

Fenrir was also very happy to have friends to play with. This big guy was like a fish in water in Rembiton. There was a vast land where he could run freely, and little people to wrestle with. Even if he knocked them down with his strength, they would laugh and get up to continue. He could even throw them down again. There was cool river water, and at night, he could sit around the projection device with the little people to watch TV.

The atmosphere is a wonderful thing. When Zhao Zizhan brought a projection device and gathered the children of the infected, the children of ordinary people, the children of the Reunion Movement, the children of Rhodes Island, and the children of the miners around Fenrir, the group that was originally somewhat unfamiliar with each other instantly became closer because of the animation playing on the screen.

The children and Fenrir, who was lying nearby, were all captivated by the dramatic plot of the animation. When the protagonist was in danger, everyone held their breath and clenched their fists in tension; when the protagonist successfully resolved the crisis, they cheered and laughed in unison. Fenrir would also excitedly pat the ground with its tail, making the surrounding grass sway slightly.

Around the campfire in the distance, the adults sat together, watching the lively scene not far away.

"I never thought we'd have such peaceful days."

"Yes... it's all worth it, no matter how tough it is."

……

Kal'tsit hadn't expected that Zhao Zizhan would manage to pull such a big job for her while she was just out applying for a patent and incidentally bringing someone back.

Because Terra lacked stable long-distance communication methods, Rhodes Island relied on the Raidian's Originium Arts to establish an internal local area network for communication. This left Kal'tsit, thousands of miles away, unaware that her child was acting suspiciously, until she received a letter from Rhodes Island several weeks later.

When Kal'tsit saw the letter saying that a new otherworldly behemoth had arrived at Rhodes Island and that they were preparing to develop the otherworld, her vision went completely black.

She has many years of experience taking care of children. When the children say "I need to poop," it usually means they have already soiled their pants. Now that Zhao Zizhan and his group are talking about developing otherworldly projects, who knows how big they've already expanded their operations!

Kal'tsit, who had originally planned to stay in Colombia for a few more days to have in-depth discussions with several potential talents, no longer had any desire to linger. Instead, he took the newly recruited talents with him and headed straight for Rembiton without saying a word.

She desperately wanted to know what had happened on Rhodes Island.

At this moment, Rembiton.

At this moment, Rhodes Island is bustling with activity. Under Zhao Zizhan's diligent governance, almost the entire island has been mobilized, especially the engineering department operators, who have a lot more to do in addition to the maintenance and engineering of their own ships.

Besides the important future project of designing and manufacturing enhanced prefabricated houses, the engineering department staff also had to start from scratch, learning about the design of F1 car bodies, and assisting Zhao Zizhan in designing a car body and Halo system that met the requirements.

Although thanks to Caesar's connections, the core components needed for F1 racing cars, such as power units, clutches, gearboxes, fuel systems, and suspensions, can be directly purchased from Ferrari, according to F1 regulations, key parts such as aerodynamic components and the car's chassis must be designed by the team itself. Since they are going to do camouflage, they have to do it according to the official specifications.

A complete F1 team requires at least 250 professionals to operate normally, including designers, engineers, mechanics, data analysts, and many other fields, providing ample room for talent to operate.

Zhao Zizhan's understanding of F1 was only superficial. He only knew that the Halo system was used to protect race car drivers and what it roughly looked like. As for specific dimensions, materials, load-bearing capacity, and other parameters, he knew nothing. These all required rigorous design and repeated experiments by the engineering department staff. They had to minimize obstruction of the race car driver's vision and reduce the system's weight while ensuring that it could provide the highest level of protection in the event of a collision. The difficulty was unimaginable.

There are simply too many things to do, and far too few people available.

Although there are many illiterate soldiers on Rhodes Island, after arriving on the island, Rhodes Island will provide operators with comprehensive education and training. Originium Arts is something similar to superpowers in A Certain Magical Index. The more knowledge you have, the stronger your Originium Arts will be. Moreover, Rhodes Island is, after all, a medical enterprise. You can't just kill people and completely ignore infrastructure.

Rhodes Island had this problem before, with its infrastructure rarely being utilized. But now, the situation is different.

With the addition of a large number of new members from the Reunion Movement, some of the original security escort and outpost clearing tasks, which involved taking 400 heads a day, could be outsourced, allowing Rhodes Island personnel to focus on design and production.

At this moment, Rhodes Island truly began to resemble a legitimate pharmaceutical company.

Everyone was busy, and Zhao Zizhan was naturally not idle either. He had two important investments to discuss.

Chapter 201 Preparations.

After her brother was properly settled and was visibly quite happy there, Xia Mi felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and she became much more relaxed.

Caesar is very proactive and has already started to make connections with Ferrari. Chu Zihang was somewhat displeased to see Caesar so busy. He didn't want this arrogant man to get too cocky, so he started to contact officials about drone-related projects.

As for Lu Mingfei, he became the only idle person in the entire project team. Actually, he wasn't that idle. Every day, accompanied by Ling, he would find ways to annoy his good online friend Lao Tang across the ocean, and he was having a great time doing so.

Another game started. Lu Mingfei leaned back comfortably on the sofa, eating the chilled grapes that Ling handed him while staring at the game screen and typing: "Hey, Lao Tang, don't you think this game is too easy? Another boring victory, not challenging at all."

He deliberately took a bite of a grape, smacked his lips loudly, and then typed: "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, these grapes I just ate were really sweet. Zero specially chilled them for me. Look, I won the game and someone even helped me bring fruit. Life couldn't be more pleasant. What about you, Lao Tang? It's this late, are you still eating dry bread?"

“Nmsl”

Old Tang was initially surprised and skeptical. He couldn't understand why his good brother, who had promised to be a good-for-nothing together, suddenly had a sister. Moreover, Lu Mingfei had a history of discussing with him how to pretend to be a woman to mess with his cousin, so Old Tang didn't believe it at first.

But there are some things that he can't simply choose not to believe.

Every time he played games with Lu Mingfei, he could always hear rustling sounds coming from Lu Mingfei's side, as if someone was walking around nearby; occasionally, a clear female voice would ring out, although the voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard that she was handing something to Lu Mingfei or reminding him to take a break, and the other person's disgusting face, all the details were telling Lao Tang a fact that was hard for him to accept.

This bastard really does have a sister.

God has no eyes!

Old Tang has also been breached before, but as the King of Bronze and Fire, even if he's soaked in lava, he'll still make a sound.

Seeing Lu Mingfei showing off again, Lao Tang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down—he couldn't let Lu Mingfei continue to disgust him like this.

Old Tang's eyes darted around, and he decided to change the subject. He typed in the chat box: "Xiao Lu, didn't you say you were a high school student? Logically speaking, high school students should be either in class or buried in homework at this time, busy as bees. How come you have time to play games with me every day lately? What's going on? You're not skipping school, are you?"

A few seconds later, Lu Mingfei's reply popped up on the screen: "Ugh, don't even mention it, I'm about to lose my schooling."

"What happened, Bro? How come you're out of school? Did you have a conflict with the teacher, or were you expelled because your grades were too bad?"

"Why are you making that noise when you speak?"

"What do you know? This is a genuine West Coast accent. Tell me, what's going on, Xiao Lu?"

Although Lao Tang was constantly annoyed by Lu Mingfei and they often bickered, to be honest, he genuinely considered Lu Mingfei a friend. Despite their playful banter, deep down he hoped Lu Mingfei would be well and have a bright future.

Now that he heard that Lu Mingfei "couldn't go to school," Old Tang's worry had long since outweighed his previous displeasure, and his mind was full of ideas on how to help Lu Mingfei.

On the other end of the screen, Lu Mingfei watched as Old Tang pressed him for answers. After a long pause, he slowly typed out, "Sigh... it's a long story..."

"Don't try to explain! Just tell me what's wrong!"

Old Tang was anxious, his fingers flying across the keyboard. "Hey, if all else fails, come to America! I may not have any other skills, but I can still support you! Come here to study, and once you graduate, we brothers can work together to build a great business, make it big and strong, and create a glorious future!"

⒈○①②②83○⑨Eight

Old Tang waited for a long time before finally receiving Lu Mingfei's reply. But when he saw the content, he froze. "Sigh... Actually, I recently participated in a national competition with my senior brother and won an award. Now I've been admitted to university without taking the entrance exam, so I don't have to attend high school anymore."

"..."

"Lu Mingfei"

Lu Mingfei was still pretending, replying quickly: "What's up, Brother Tang? Do you think your brother is really amazing and want to say a few words of praise to me?"

Go eat shit!

"Oh dear, I'm in a real hurry!"

"But seriously, Tang, where are you in America? I might actually have a chance to visit you sometime."

……

After finishing his recent resettlement work, Zhao Zizhan is also going to start cosplaying as Travel Kimi.

Rhodes Island's development must not be confined to the limited world of Rembitox.

This place may seem to be able to temporarily isolate itself from the conflicts of the outside world, but it is by no means a long-term solution, let alone a paradise. The reason why Rembito has not been occupied by the various countries of Terra for so many years and has become a relatively independent region is not because Rembito is powerful and difficult to invade, but because its natural environment is extremely harsh.

The frequency and destructive power of natural disasters here are rare in the entire Terra continent. Because of this, Rembito was once jointly assessed by the various countries of Terra as a region where "it is impossible for stable human activities to exist". Over time, it became a "chicken rib" in the eyes of the countries, which was "unfortunate to abandon but tasteless to eat". This situation continued until the Industrial Era when one of the three major Originium mines was discovered to be located here.

Even though Rhodes Island has established a foothold in Rembiton with its advanced technology and powerful operator team, the limitations here are still very obvious. The most prominent issue is the fragile and vulnerable market economy. The residents of Rembiton mainly make a living from mining and simple agriculture and animal husbandry, and their productivity and material resources are very scarce. Moreover, Zhao Zizhan doesn't like to make money off poor people. In this day and age, to get rich, you have to make money off whoever has money.

So who has money? The old nobles of Victoria, the pioneers of Colombia, and Wei Lao Er of the Great Yan Dragon Gate.

Longmen's geographical location determined that it could serve as a trading port for many countries. Ports often represent DANKING, wealth from all directions, and devout worship.

Now that Wei Lao Er's niece is in my hands, I'm going to squeeze a huge sum of money out of him.

First step! Buy a Ghost Fire!

Chapter 202 Fenrir: Brother-in-law, save me!

When Xia Mi first arrived at Rhodes Island, she didn't know what she was supposed to do. As the Dragon King, she possessed power that could shake the heavens and the earth, and she was the strongest of the strongest second-generation species! In the past, in human society, she was always like a dancer walking a tightrope, carefully hiding her identity and playing the role of an ordinary girl. As a result, she overdid it, and with her goddess-like face, she sounded like a female version of Lu Mingfei.

Later, because he developed a similar interest in Zhao as Xiao Chu, he was seized by Zhao Zizhan and instantly became a member of the research team after being promised a lucrative deal.

Looking back, all she wanted was to live in this world with her brother.

But after arriving at Rhodes Island, the tight pretense suddenly lost its meaning. Standing on the deck where people came and went, she didn't know how to face everything around her for the first time.

Now that she finally has a choice, she doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, she had plenty of time to make choices, and Fenrir helped her find work.

"Fenrir!!!"

After a classic roar, Fenrir, who was still playing with the children, suddenly jolted awake, its scales standing on end. It instinctively looked up and met Xia Mi's furious eyes. Terrified, it trembled, like a Hakimi who had heard its master's angry shout, and scrambled towards the nearby mountain peak. Its massive body moved with surprising agility, diving forward in a single bound.

As if sensing its intention, the mountain peaks automatically parted to reveal a cave just large enough to accommodate its body. Fenrir plunged inside without looking back, leaving only its massive rear end sticking out, its tail still twitching nervously. It thought it was well hidden, but in reality, Hagami had nowhere to hide.

"Fenrir!"

1012283098

Amidst the silent stares of a row of children and adults, Xia Mi walked past them carrying a water bucket. It was the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki suppressed by her sister's bloodline. Reaching the entrance to the cave where Fenrir was hiding, Xia Mi casually summoned the Eye of the Wind King. Pale blue wind elements gathered in her palm, and a large amount of air surged towards the water bucket in her hand, forming a swirling whirlwind shell around the bucket.

Then Xia Mi raised her hand and unleashed a "Thunderous Bagua" at Fenrir's raised buttocks—the bucket of water, carrying the force of a whirlwind, slammed heavily onto the dragon scales, producing a crisp, muffled sound.

"Ouch——"

Fenrir cried out in pain, like a wronged puppy, and suddenly pulled his penis out of the rock. His golden eyes were full of innocence as he looked pitifully at Xia Mi.

"How many times have I told you! You're not allowed to take Kroos around looking for food! Why didn't you listen! What did you two eat yesterday? Don't you know that child is sick and his diet needs to be strictly controlled?"

Fenrir lowered his head and let out a short groan.

Seeing this, a medical staff member quickly stepped in to smooth things over, gently pulling Xia Mi aside: "Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, kids are greedy and playful. It's normal for them to be naughty. Don't hit the child... In this situation, a little more education will do. Strictly speaking, we also bear responsibility for not keeping a close eye on Kroos and letting her run around..."

Finrieux also began to cooperate, crouching down with her hands on her head in defense, rolling on the ground, and begging her sister for forgiveness with a sheepish look on her face.

Don't give me that! You always pretend to be obedient when I mention it, but then you forget about it as soon as you turn around!

Although Xia Mi was stern in her words, her tone softened a bit when she saw Fenrir's appearance. She then reached out and gave Fenrir a light tap on the head.

"Hey, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

The infected people around her swarmed around her, offering their advice and snatching the water bottle from Xia Mi's hands.

Everyone cooperated and improvised with each other, without pointing out the fact that hitting someone with a water bottle wouldn't hurt them.

After spending so much time with Fenrir, the infected had begun to develop a liking for this giant creature. Initially, they felt a sense of awe at its enormous size, ferocious appearance, and the immense power it possessed to split mountains and cleave the earth with a wave of its hand, until they discovered that this giant was a milk dragon.

Now, everyone looks at Fenrir as if he were someone else's naughty child.

"What?!"

Zhao Zizhan's voice came from not far away.

The shout was like a "savior signal." Fenrir, who had been clinging to Xia Mi, instantly perked up, its golden eyes lighting up. It abruptly raised its head and looked in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, it saw Zhao Zizhan standing not far away. In Fenrir's eyes, the sunlight fell on Zhao Zizhan's shoulders, coating his entire body with a soft halo, making him look like a god descending to earth.

"Ow!"

Fenrir let out an excited howl, completely forgetting its earlier pitiful act of begging for forgiveness. With a slight push of its hind legs, its massive body shot out like an arrow, instantly reaching Zhao Zizhan's side. It twisted and hid behind him, though the huge height difference between them made the scene rather comical.

Zhao Zizhan chuckled, reaching out to pat Fenrir's exposed scales, his tone teasing: "What's going on, Fenrir? You've gotten into trouble again?"

Fenrir remained silent, only swaying his hips as he hid behind Zhao Zizhan again.

Over the past few days, Fenrir's impression of Zhao Zizhan has undergone a transformation from a kind person who enjoys good food → a kind person who enjoys good food and has a good relationship with his sister → a super-powerful and kind person who can save him from his sister's clutches and even punish her.

"Alright, stop with the 'Third Sister teaching the child' stuff here. I have a business trip to Longmen. Do you have any ideas? Are you coming with me, or are you planning to stay here?"

Aside from eating, sleeping, and beating up her brother every day, Xia Mi actually did a lot of work on the ship. For example, she assisted the engineering department in conducting mechanical inspections of the Rhodes Island main ship. Whether it was a small pipeline hidden in the wall or the core of a large piece of equipment, she was able to quickly and accurately locate the fault point with her abilities. This laid the groundwork for her future work.

Xia Mi had never heard of a place called "Dragon Gate" before. She tilted her head, her eyes full of doubt: "Where is Dragon Gate? The name sounds quite unique. Are there dragons in another world?"

Zhao Zizhan smiled and gave an analogy: "You can think of it as Hong Kong in another world. It's also a bustling port city with a large flow of people and a particularly developed business. Plus, everyone there speaks Cantonese."
