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

"What do you mean 'makes sense'? This is absolutely fantastic news!"

Zhao Zizhan quickly pressed his advantage, asking, "You eat ice cream every day, so tell me, does your stomach hurt?"

Surtr turned his face away, his voice lower: "...It really hurts."

The Umbrella Bar

"Then do you have to apply for painkillers all the time, and even after you get them, they might not work?"

"……right"

"Then look at this one!"

Zhao Zizhan gently stroked Surtr's smooth, flat stomach, and a warm current flowed slowly from his palm, like the warmth of life, gradually seeping into Surtr's body. His abdomen, which had been slightly chilly from eating ice cream, was instantly enveloped by this warmth, and the previous dull, aching pain vanished like clouds dispersed by the wind.

"Ok??"

Surtr suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of surprise. He sat up abruptly from the hammock, looked down at his stomach, and then looked up at Zhao Zizhan with disbelief in his eyes.

Does it work?

"Mmmmmmm!!"

Surtr nodded in delight.

"Should I help my brother or not?"

"Hey, you're calling me brother, so what's there to say? Don't worry, who would dare cause you trouble? With me here, I'll shake all those feathered beast eggs in the house until they're all rotten!"

"Wow, girl, you're so genuine and amazing!"

……

"What? Zizhan, you've been attacked? Who attacked you? Were there many of them? Do you need help?"

After hearing Zhao Zizhan's words, Talulah nervously leaned forward.

Seeing Talulah's worried expression, Zhao Zizhan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and quickly waved his hand to explain, "I'm fine. I was just caught off guard at the time, but everything has been dealt with. We do need help now. We haven't figured out the enemy's strength yet. We're going to establish a base in my hometown later, so the security pressure is quite high..."

"Then please count me in. Although I may not be of much use, I am quite confident in my combat skills. No matter what kind of enemy tries to make things difficult for you, I can guarantee they won't be able to get any closer to you."

Talulah grabbed Zhao Zizhan's hand and said earnestly.

Meanwhile, Surtr looked Talulah up and down, clicked his tongue, and muttered something only he could hear: "You country bumpkin, you tomboy, you're such a tea bitch."

"That's great! I was worried about my safety before, but now that you've joined us, I can finally relax completely..."

"what do you mean?"

No sooner had she said that than Surtr became displeased. She stepped forward, patted Zhao Zizhan's shoulder with a light touch, and said in a clearly teasing tone, "So you were worried even before we met? You didn't say that when I agreed to go with you!"

Zhao Zizhan's mind raced, and he quickly feigned dissatisfaction: "Hey, Surtr, how could you think like that! You and Talulah are both undeniably strong. It would be a blessing from my past life if either of you were to protect me alone."

"But as the old saying goes, many hands make light work. One person's plan is limited, but two people's plan is longer. One person's energy is ultimately limited in all aspects. Although it's for my safety, I don't feel good about having you on guard all day. It's always good to have someone to share the pressure. If a crisis occurs, the two of you can join forces and form a sandwich, then I can rest easy."

Talulah nodded in agreement: "Zizhan is right. His safety is the most important priority right now. You must be Miss Surtr who saved Alina before? I haven't had a chance to thank you before. Thank you so much. I never thought I would have the chance to fight alongside you."

"...Alright, alright, you two are really good at talking, I'm impressed. You're both so cheesy. Let's just work together."

"That's right! They say that when brothers are of one mind, they can break metal. As long as the three of us brothers are of one mind, there is no difficulty we can't overcome!"

"...Isn't this much better than those lousy soap operas on TV in Taiwan?"

ACE leaned against the supply box, watching with great interest.

"It's the younger generation who have the ideas..."

"What's so appealing about it? All I see is a survivor who brings personal emotions into their work and is forced to play both sides."

Chapter 182 I've Become the Thirteenth Prince?

With ACE and Sharp as his two guardians, plus two extra-large cups as a safety net, Zhao Zizhan felt that his safety could only be described in two words: He had transformed into a dragon!

Pure Pure Dragon!

With this lineup, you can basically dominate anything below the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

yi ling yi er er ba san ling jiu ba

With security personnel confirming that Zhao Zizhan's safety was guaranteed, the most crucial and core question then arises: what should Rhodes Island do in this new world?

Rhodes Island is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of Oripathy, and its main product is Oripathy inhibitors. However, Oripathy doesn't exist in Zhao Zizhan's world at all. What can be done about this?

So who are we going to sell this medicine to?

You can't exactly sell it as a health supplement, can you? Even setting aside the fact that it might not be effective for the right condition, people might not dare to take it!

Establishing a base in an unfamiliar world is no small matter. It's expensive and resource-intensive, and Rhodes Island is essentially a business that needs to be profitable to stay afloat. They can't expect their operators to work on an empty stomach. Their old methods are completely unworkable, so they need to come up with a new way to make a living as soon as possible. But what can they possibly do?

The question is, what should we do?

I can't exactly become a manual laborer, can I?

This matter needs to be clarified, because it involves the personnel allocation that Rhodes Island will need to deploy to the new base.

Going to the outpost isn't a vacation; it's a work trip. You're a soldier once you stand there, and you don't leave until you're completely exhausted. Rhodes Island doesn't support idlers.

Amiya looked at Zhao Zizhan and said sincerely, "Operator Zizhan, you are a native of this world, and you led the entire mission. We would like to hear your opinion on what Rhodes Island's branch in the new world should mainly focus on?"

Zhao Zizhan hesitated before saying, "My main business... actually, I'm more inclined towards engineering research and development. To be honest, I've already collaborated with our country on the research and production of drones and various unmanned operation platforms. The project has already taken initial shape..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mechanist's eyes lit up, and he immediately seized on the key point: "Is the project funding sufficient?"

"This is a key national project, and funding is actually the least of our concerns. As long as there is a need, the application process can be streamlined, and all kinds of resources will be allocated quickly."

"Won't some annoying administrators come and give orders?"

Wendy also became interested. She was a socially anxious person and was most afraid of communicating with others, especially if the other party was an inexperienced administrator.

“Our company has a strict entry system. People who don’t understand technology can’t get into the core R&D team. Even the administrative staff are professionals who understand the industry and won’t make unreasonable demands.”

"What about research conditions?"

Then another engineering department staff member pressed for more information.

Zhao Zizhan pondered for a moment before answering truthfully: "The research conditions are definitely not as good as those at Rhodes Island headquarters. After all, the fundamental energy laws of the two worlds are different, and the material systems are also different. The industrial level there is slightly lower, and we still have to develop many high-end equipment ourselves. But one advantage is that the basic industrial level is very solid, with a mature industrial chain from parts processing to assembly production. Moreover, starting research and development from scratch, we can have more say and are not bound by the existing technological framework."

For technical personnel, they would not ask such a question if they were not interested, and Zhao Zizhan's answer was obviously quite tempting to them.

Especially when Wendy asked, "What's your world like? Do you have the sea?"

Zhao Zizhan replied, "Of course there is a sea, and the coastline is particularly long, with both azure shallow seas and deep, dark seas. However, there are no Agor people or sea creatures in that sea, only vast coral reefs and all kinds of big and small fish. Occasionally, you can see dolphins leaping out of the water, making it very lively."

"The hygiene conditions of the people in that world..."

"If needed, we can establish a completely sterile laboratory."

Wendy suddenly stood up straight, her eyes so determined it looked like she was about to do something: "I request to go to the New World Outpost!"

“Speaking of which, I have a question,” Touch, a medical department operative, raised his arm.

"Operator from Ziwei Star, you're from another world, right?"

"Yes"

"Your world doesn't have Originium, right?"

"That's right, there's not only no Originium, but also no substances related to Originium."

"Does that mean the water over there is completely pure water with 0% Originium content?"

Zhao Zizhan was taken aback: "That's right! Our tap water is drinkable after regular filtration. Although the water from rivers, lakes and seas needs to be treated, it does not contain any Originium components."

"So, can we treat this new world as an isolation zone with zero Originium content?"

"If we can prevent the Originium particles from leaking out of the Oripathy patients through an internally sealed, periodically circulating collection system, then we can completely establish a pure treatment room free of Originium. We only need to collect the Originium particles emitted by the Oripathy patients during their daily activities to ensure that they do not leak. The atmosphere of the other world will naturally create an environment with zero Originium density, which will be of great help to the entire Oripathy treatment cause."

Ouch didn't stop, continuing to explain his thoughts with a tone of dedication to his profession: "Do you know what the biggest difficulty in treating Oripathy is? It's that our patients are constantly in an environment surrounded by Originium—the air they breathe contains Originium dust, the water they drink contains trace amounts of Originium, and even the instruments they come into contact with may have Originium particles attached to them. They are constantly absorbing Originium, so how can their condition be well controlled?"

"If the new world can prevent patients from ingesting any more Originium, and we supplement with drug treatment, will the control of Oripathy patients' condition be significantly improved? I think this topic is very worthy of research."

"besides!"

Touch continued, "The pure water from another world with 0% Originium content can be transformed into completely pure water that would require a tremendous amount of effort to produce in our medical field with just a little routine disinfection!"

"Everyone knows how difficult it is to produce this kind of completely pure water. It requires more than a dozen filtrations and distillations, and special instruments are used to detect Originium residue. The cost is terrifyingly high. But if we can obtain water sources from the New World, the cost will be greatly reduced—we can even make this pure water an export product of Rhodes Island and trade it with other medical companies! It solves our own medical needs and makes a profit at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!"

See? I told you there are no stupid people among these elite operators. They're all incredibly smart. After discovering a whole new world, they immediately connected it to the pain points in their professional field. They not only found new treatment directions but also proposed profitable business plans. Their thinking is faster than anyone else's, and they've even considered the details clearly. It's truly admirable.

Zhao Zizhan nodded in agreement: "This is indeed feasible, and I can allocate funds to do it. However, the funds and resources required for a completely closed, internally-circulating treatment room are enormous, so we may need to take it slowly."

"Then we can take a step back and start by changing the patients' original resources, such as food and drinking water, by using water and food from another world. We can then observe whether this new diet can have an auxiliary effect in alleviating the symptoms of Oripathy."

"This is feasible."

"That really works! Why didn't I think of that before?"

"Indeed, everyone is constantly ingesting Originium. If there were a way to reduce Originium intake, it would definitely be a good thing for patients."

"Besides, ingredients with zero Originium content sound like an easy way to make money..."

"In that case, wouldn't we need to add another batch of medical operators when we go to the other world base?"

"I think we should add it..."

"We definitely need to add more, and they have to be core members. We must conduct on-site investigations of the specific situation in the other world, summarize and organize all the data before considering the feasibility of the plan. This will be a very challenging task, especially since we also need to integrate medical knowledge from another world..."

Listening to the operators' discussion, Zhao Zizhan counted on his fingers as he listened: "The veterans of the engineering department... the core operators of the medical department... and myself, an operator in the logistics department..."

Am I going to establish a second Rhodes Island in another world?

PS: Sorry everyone, I went to say goodbye to some old friends today. After all, I may never return to this place in my life unless something unexpected happens, so I came back late and the update is a bit late, but it's late but it's here!

Also, I got Xiao Xiang in a free 10-pull. It was this little Mu Tou Ren who made me do six 10-pulls to collect him. I've already gotten two Xiao Xiang!

Hehe, Xiao Xiang, my Xiao Xiang...

Chapter 183 Old Scheme's Plan.

The scene inside the room changed, and Zhao Zizhan once again arrived in the world of dragons.

When he left, he was still the whistleblower rabbit; when he returned, he was the Purple Star.

Holding the new phone issued internally, Zhao Zizhan took a deep breath, swiped his finger across the phone screen, found the familiar number in his contacts, and pressed the call button.

Beijing is quite lively right now. The large-scale attack by mixed-race people in the city and their firefight with the armed police can be described as jumping the red line one by one, both close and sparking a full-blown conflict.

The situation is crystal clear: "This is not a matter of dealing with mixed-race individuals, nor is it a matter of protecting important personnel; it has now escalated into a matter of regulations!"

Someone slammed their fist on the table during the meeting, speaking in a firm tone: "No group in our country will be allowed to openly be above the law, and we will not tolerate anyone who is above the law!"

We can't allow such an awesome person to exist here!

In fact, the authorities had long wanted to address the chaotic situation among the mixed-race population, but they had been struggling to find a suitable entry point. The mixed-race families were deeply entrenched, some with intricate connections to orthodox powers, while the Dragon Clan Restoration faction was secretly stirring things up. Taking rash action could easily trigger even greater turmoil. Zhao Zizhan's attack, however, became the key to breaking the deadlock.

Therefore, the control measures targeting mixed-race individuals are unprecedentedly strong, aiming not only to bring them into the system of management but also to thoroughly eliminate those radicals who disregard the rules.

The resistance was naturally considerable. The orthodox faction worried that such strong control would affect the traditional order and privately raised many objections; the hybrid families banded together to resist and tried to exert pressure with their old networks; the dragon revivalists took the opportunity to spread rumors. In the past two days, the command center's phone had been ringing non-stop. Various contradictions were intertwined, and the situation was so complicated that it was a headache.

ー0㈠二⑵㈧⑶檪⒐/

A middle-aged man, rubbing his throbbing temples, walked out of the meeting room after a three-hour work meeting when his phone rang. Seeing that the caller ID showed Zhao Zizhan, he paused for a moment before answering. When Zhao Zizhan said he had important information to discuss in person, the man immediately instructed his assistant, "Postpone the next two meetings. I'm going to the military camp to see Comrade Zizhan."

"I'm sorry to trouble you with this during your busy schedule,"

Zhao Zizhan handed over a glass of warm water, his tone tinged with apology, "The main thing is that I really have something very important to discuss with you this time."

The middle-aged man took the water glass, waved his hand with a smile, and said with a hint of self-deprecation, "It's nothing, it's nothing. You're our precious gem now! The old general specifically told me to take good care of you. It was my fault for not doing my job properly when you were frightened by the attack. I've been getting yelled at by my old boss in his office every day these past two days. I'm more than happy to come over and chat with you to help you relax!"

He paused, then deliberately lowered his voice, "Besides, the old boss can't exactly yell at me to your face, can he? Hahaha!"

The middle-aged man's teasing eased the tension considerably, and Zhao Zizhan laughed as well. These two sentences really made people feel much more at ease.

"Well, there are two things I want to discuss with you. First, regarding the attack on me, I want to use my influence to investigate and resolve the matter."

The middle-aged man paused, holding his water glass, and did not immediately express his opinion. He simply looked up at Zhao Zizhan and said calmly, "Tell me your thoughts."

"In my personal opinion, the drone and unmanned operation platform project that I proposed, as well as the supporting development plan, is the most core and important thing at this stage."

Zhao Zizhan analyzed the situation clearly, "The situation is already tense. If we launch a large-scale operation because of my attack, it will easily attract the attention of external forces. As you know, our enemies are not only mixed-race people, but also foreigners who are watching our development. Therefore, it is best to resolve this matter secretly so as not to affect the progress of the project and the work of keeping it confidential."
