Ark Chess Player.

The support team responsible for managing the financial operations of the Lungmen branch stated that it expects to lose approximately 500,000 Lungmen dollars and has repeatedly confirmed whether to proceed.

Although it's a considerable expense, it doesn't matter, as long as the BOSS enjoys shooting. What have I, Bai, been doing for the past three years, swallowing my pride and working with that scoundrel Chaoshan to protect the foundation of the Borderless Army?

Isn't the point to let the BOSS come back and shoot whenever he wants, wherever he wants, and charge wherever he wants?

In its early days, the Army Without Borders had nothing. Now, it has everything it needs: guns, cannons, and even humanoid figures... The humanoid framework has been built, but without a super-intelligent AI that matches the humanoid form, it can only be temporarily sealed deep within the base.

In short, the Army Without Borders has everything, except for a BOSS to come back and take charge.

Unfortunately, once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled from a cup; the boss is obsessed with the women of Rhodes Island and refuses to come back no matter what.

"Everyone, please come with me."

As the sliding rails stopped operating, the lifting platform reached the bottom. This time, it descended approximately eighty meters, almost reaching the lowest level of the Lungmen base. After all, digging any further down would expose the massive base of the mobile city, equipped with multi-section anti-slip tracks.

Misha curiously held the King Killer in her left hand and grabbed Lin Lu in her right, just like a family of three going out to shop.

Along the way, they passed several members of the Army Without Borders. The moment they saw Lin Lu, they all stood up straight, saluted, and greeted him.

Lin Lu glanced at her sharply, his deep cobalt blue eyes accompanied by a powerful aura, causing the heartbeat of the person being stared at to slow down instantly.

"good."

Lin Lu said softly, a faint smile on his lips, and left them.

It's amazing how many people you meet here have the potential to become three-star operators for Rhodes Island.

The praised male admirers instantly became incredibly enthusiastic, turned around and gave a dashing salute to the BOSS's back, increasing their work efficiency by fifty percent.

“…That’s amazing.” Misha looked curiously at the people dressed in such fine equipment, and then at Lin Lu who could easily manipulate their emotions. Suddenly, she felt that she couldn’t understand this person at all.

"Here we are."

The group wandered around for a while before finally stopping in an open space.

The Kingslayer curiously lowered her gaze. Before her stood a waist-high fence, adorned with adorable drawings. A petite, dark-haired girl made large X's with her hands, next to which was a phrase the Kingslayer couldn't understand—"Herder jumper, Isatis root."

Her attention was mainly drawn to this interesting painting, and for some reason, it felt very familiar.

Seeing this, the shrewd conman cleared his throat and explained, "This is a mascot hand-drawn by Steve, the leader of our base construction team. He joined our Army Without Borders because he was pursuing a girl he was obsessed with. Later, he couldn't find her, and since he didn't want to go back to his hometown, he settled down here with a 'go with the flow' attitude. It's not just Lungmen Base; he's responsible for executing the construction plans for all our branches."

The scammer remarked with some emotion that the group leaders of each group within the Borderless network were all talented individuals, and their words sounded both impressive and appealing.

Rumor has it that Steve, the leader of the base construction team, can dismantle bedrock with his bare hands, retrieve all sorts of weapons from barren lands, and even build a fortified city overnight. With the help of Bai Huang, the leader of the research team, and enhanced by modules, he is even more versatile, making him an ultimate talent.

As for the mysterious black-haired girl who tricked Steve into joining the Army Without Borders, who is she?

That is the unsolved mystery of the borderless army.

What are we doing here?

Misha looked up and asked, glancing left and right. There were railings both in front of and behind her, and at her height, she could barely see the railway tracks beyond them. These tracks were worn smooth and stretched into the dimly lit passage, their destination unknown.

"Don't rush, almost there, just twenty seconds left."

The swindler pointed to the electronic display screen hanging from the rooftop, which indeed showed a countdown, accompanied by Chinese characters.

"Kiragi Station."

Lin Lu stood quietly in place, sensing something approaching at high speed. The sound of bells grew louder as it drew nearer. Bright orange light shone from the end of the passage, but it wasn't glaring; the warm color instantly dispelled the impatience of waiting.

The ground trembled violently, and Misha instinctively hugged Lin Lu's leg. Lin Lu smiled and stroked her head.

"It's alright, it's just a means of transportation," Lin Lu comforted her.

A long, black train sped along the tracks, its bright lights like torches, at first glance resembling the dragon's eyes. This was the only bright part of its body; otherwise, it was pitch black. Even the train's exterior didn't reflect light, seemingly polished to an extremely smooth finish, and it was unusually quiet.

Lin Lu narrowed his eyes slightly. He could feel the countless intricate machines inside the train operating at high speed, but he could not hear any friction sounds.

The sound of the bells gradually stopped, and the dark train came to a stop in front of them, stirring up a gust of wind.

The air on both sides of the track is thus pulled, and the rapidly flowing air forms an airflow that turns towards the inside of the track.

The regicide's body was pulled forward uncontrollably, almost losing her balance, and the next moment she was pulled into Lin Lu's arms.

Of everyone present, only the Kingslayer was affected. This girl, without the Wolf Fang III enhancement, was probably even lighter than Misha. It makes one wonder if she could simply tie three balloons around her waist to create Terra's first personal flying vehicle and become an astronaut.

The Kingkiller was actually developing quite well, ranking in Lin Lu's top three, second only to Ghost Shark.

"Metal Gear Yormand, also known as the World Serpent." The conman bowed slightly to Lin Lu and said respectfully, "Boss, this is one of the blueprints you left behind, the culmination of countless efforts by the research team. In this Terra world, which is dominated by mobile cities, Yormand is like a venomous snake waiting to strike. We do not exist, yet we are everywhere. Please follow me, we are about to head to... Chaolong Mountain."

The swindler stood beside the car door, raising his hand respectfully like a waiter. The railing rose, opening the door to the future.

The bell rang, and the train sped through the dimly lit passage, posters flashing past the windows. The posters depicted Lin Lu in a black combat suit, with his hair slicked back, his black eyes gleaming sharply, pointing his index finger forward as if to the person looking at the poster.

There's also a line of text at the bottom of the poster that immediately lifts your spirits.

"THE BIG BOSS IS WATCHING YOU!"

The Kingslayer looked around curiously. The poor girl's PTSD flared up again, and she sat nervously beside Lin Lu. The warmth and weight of the little girl she was holding gave her a sense of security. The high-speed vehicle she had never ridden in before gave her the illusion of being pushed and pulled, and she couldn't help but feel afraid.

The interior, unlike the sleek black exterior, exudes a bright, futuristic feel, with a blue and silver color scheme that evokes a mechanical aesthetic. Warm-toned wallpaper covers the walls, and fixed metal tables display soothing items like fidget spinners and Rubik's Cubes. Transparent windows are padded with cushioning, and handrails are provided throughout to maintain balance during emergency stops.

The Kingslayer touched the seat beneath her. The incredibly elastic and comfortable bench made her feel drowsy, as if she could fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes. Even though she was leaning against the table behind her, her tail wasn't trapped; the backrest cushion seemed to contain some kind of adaptive material, allowing people of all races to relax and rest.

This invention alone could make a fortune for all walks of life in Terra, right? Countless horned people, such as the Fonhooves, Vayvans, and Sarkaz, are troubled by their sleeping positions. Everyone's horns are uniquely shaped, making it difficult to find a pillow that fits perfectly unless you specially order bedding.

Misha sat in the Kingslayer's lap, the girl looking at the nine-linked rings on the table with a curious expression.

This is a puzzle toy consisting of nine interconnected rings. The rules are simple: the goal is to solve the puzzle.

Lin Lu held the nine-linked rings in his hands, skillfully untangling them, putting them back together, and then returning them to their original state before handing them to Misha.

Misha whispered a thank you, her turquoise eyes filled with wonder.

She once thought that everything she had seen in the past was the whole world, but when she stepped into the Lungmen base of the Army Without Borders, she realized that the world was far more different than she had imagined.

Whether it was the underground city of Lungmen or this unimaginable underground train, everything about it seemed incredible to her.

Terra has trains, just like the logistical lifelines that provide resources to various countries, but it doesn't have underground trains that move between cities.

Because no one dares to touch the lifeline of a mobile city, let alone open up wide lines and platforms for people to travel on—except for those lunatics, the Army Without Borders. If these people were willing to risk their lives, they could paralyze major cities in various countries in a single day with their utopian bases scattered all over the world.

After all, only a few areas in Terra are unaffected by natural disasters.

Lin Lu tilted his head and looked at the poster outside the porthole. Although the person on it was clearly himself, he looked so unfamiliar.

"Big Brother is watching you... Ning is watching me, and I am watching Ning too."

Lin Lu smiled slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, but unexpectedly, he activated the intelligent service.

The Diamond Dog system kindly inquired whether a timed wake-up system was needed and also provided information on currently available areas. Not only that, it also displayed reliable news from Lungmen's online news network. Considering the high-speed rail journey, this information was simplified and the font size enlarged to prevent motion sickness.

The artificial intelligence independently developed by the Army Without Borders is far more considerate than Lin Lu had imagined. If only the anemone could be this obedient.

Anemone either annoys people to death by not asking for leave, or she disappears without a trace, only showing up at crucial moments... Lin Lu raised his hand in annoyance and slapped the smart message box back down, propped his elbow on the table, and slowly closed his eyes.

The Data-Driven Spirit Realm has completed the collection of information on the entire Jormungand train. This is not just an ordinary underground train; each carriage is equipped with enough dry rations and pure drinking water to last for a month, as well as well-preserved weapons and equipment.

It's less of a subway and more of a trump card for escaping the city of Longmen when necessary.

When the bell stopped ringing again, the swindler got up and went to the car door, gesturing for everyone to get out.

Misha placed her beloved toy on the table and strode away.

Lin Lu glanced at the table and gave a faint smile.

The nine-linked rings have all been solved.

Chapter 231 Do You Think I Still Have a Chance? (4K)

"That's great, the world of the rich is really great."

Lin Lu couldn't help but sigh; this place was a completely different world from the platform of the safe house in the slum.

It wasn't just him; when the Kingkiller and Misha got off the train, they thought they had stumbled into another world.

What came into view was a building made entirely of wood. As soon as Lin Lu got out of the car, he found himself standing on the other side of the wooden bridge, as if he had stepped into an ancient and leisurely book.

Following the swindler's directions, Lin Lu glanced around and saw pools appearing on either side of the platform. The gently flowing water, aided by the underground water system of Longmen, washed the lotus flowers, which floated on the surface. Every now and then, a small fish would peek out from under the lotus leaves, not flinching at the approaching person, but instead affectionately blowing bubbles.

Even though Terra has entered the era of Originium Industry, and every large mobile city is made of steel machinery, there are still people who appreciate the ancient-style architecture that evokes the poetic spirit of the Great Yan Kingdom. Although most of the ancient-style buildings in the Yan Kingdom were destroyed by natural disasters, the continuation of civilization will not be severed.

There will always be people who are willing to give up everything, carrying heavy burdens, to preserve and pass on these precious cultural knowledge from generation to generation.

Lin Lu smiled approvingly and strode forward. It was at this moment...

The fragrance of grass and flowers fills the air, and the melodious sound of a zither drifts in.

As Lin Lu crossed the bridge, he suddenly found himself unable to distinguish between reality and books, as if he were in a dream.

Petals fluttered down like rain, and a gentle breeze caressed the beauty's ink-black hair. A petal gently landed on the tip of her hair, drifting down smoothly.

She stood on the other side of the bridge, gazing at Lin Lu across the wooden bridge. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness, breathtakingly so. She was so beautiful, so elegant, and it wasn't just her picturesque face and slender figure. Most importantly, it was her gaze. Just their eyes meeting, even Lin Lu's deep cobalt blue eyes couldn't resist her gaze. Unconsciously, he took a deep breath, the fragrance of flowers flooding his mind.

The beautiful woman walked towards him, and with each step she took and each sway of her waist, her magnificent gold-threaded Hanfu shimmered with light. It was as if the woman, who only existed in books, had come to life. Even the gentle blink of her beautiful eyes and the smile that followed were like a beautiful lake reflecting brilliant colors under the sunlight.

The regicide involuntarily held her breath. Although she was standing right next to Lin Lu, she felt a strong sense of unease.

This feeling wasn't like being hungry, nor was it like encountering an unimaginable enemy during a battle.

Damn it, what is this stomach pain?!

Why do I feel a sense of crisis?

"You're here."

The girl's voice was soft and melodious, as if it could immerse you in a gentle embrace, making your very bones feel weak.

Lin Lu looked at her curiously, their gazes never leaving each other since they met.

He couldn't look away; it was as if an invisible rope was binding his neck, and he could only gaze at her.

Before Lin Lu could even react, a fairy, like one from a masterpiece painting, gracefully stepped into his arms. The girl's fair hands emerged from her gold-trimmed sleeves and gently touched Lin Lu's chest, feeling a cool touch. Her movements were graceful without being affected, like the playful teasing of an intimate friend.

The kingslayer's eyes widened; she understood where this sense of crisis came from!

The animosity between a poor, delinquent street girl and a wealthy heiress is ingrained in their very DNA!

The Kingslayer rolled up his sleeves, ready to punch the pretty face of the girl in Lin Lu's arms. Very well, prepare to feel the humiliation of falling from the sky to the ground, covered in mud! Today, I, the Kingslayer, will show you what a fist the size of a sandbag is, and what it means to steal a man!

Before the king-killer could even beat up the beautiful woman who was clinging to Lin Lu, Lin Lu had already pushed her away, the movement of which could even be described as rude.

"I'm sorry, but men and women should not touch each other."

Lin Lu said calmly, and politely took a step back.

"—!"

The regicide suddenly thought Lin Lu was really handsome.

She always thought Lin Lu was cool, but now she feels he's even more stylish!

Misha silently covered her face. What a difference between men and women! She wondered who was the person who had been hugging and rubbing against her like that since she woke up this morning!

Does our relationship need to be so distant?

The girl wore an extremely hurt expression. She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes drooping, and her eyes were filled with tears, making one feel an involuntary sense of pity.

Even the king-killer panicked. Although she sensed something was wrong, a strange protective instinct filled her chest. Even young Misha had a fleeting thought that Lin Lu was at fault, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Most people would have instinctively pulled the girl into their arms and comforted her, right? Maybe they could even have taken her to bed.

"Please have some self-respect, young lady. I don't know you, at least not right now." The exemplary Mr. Lin naturally wouldn't fall for it. He tried his best not to show too much disgust, and said in a deep voice, "The grievance has its source, the debt its debtor. Please put the knife away, thank you."

While everyone's attention was focused on the woman's stunning beauty, only Lin Lu knew that when she placed her hand on his chest, a hidden sword was poised to strike.

Even with Lin Lu's monstrous regenerative abilities, he wasn't confident he could survive with his heart damaged.

The king killer then realized what was happening and immediately shielded Lin Lu behind him, pulling out a carbon fiber dagger with his right hand.

The atmosphere changed instantly, a strong killing intent surged forth, and faint wolf howls and low growls could be heard.

The regicide gritted her teeth; she hadn't even noticed that Lin Lu had almost been in danger!

"Don't panic, she has no intention of killing." Lin Lu raised his hand and patted the King Killer's head, then gently rubbed it. "Otherwise, do you think I would have just pushed her away?"

“That’s true, after all, you’re the one who values ​​gender equality the most.” The King Killer’s voice was still a little hoarse, showing that she was quite angry.

"...You two have such a good relationship."

The beauty's gaze fell on Lin Lu's hand as he ruffled the king killer's hair. She narrowed her eyes slightly and revealed a bright smile.

Her heart is now filled with murderous intent.

"Ahem... Excuse me, everyone."
