"Adam" borrowed Chen Fei's social security number to apply for a dedicated IPv6 address, then secured a general domain name, and sent the newly generated combat account to Chen Meng's personal communication number as soon as it was ready.

The location of the file management space, just like the mysterious network connection, was relatively easier to guess. The human brain's capacity is quite generous, with a redundancy that's almost frightening. Allocating just a small portion of it was enough to satisfy Chen Fei for a lifetime.

Since it was a private AI combat platform with a limited number of accounts to be issued, the principal professor of the AI department wisely kept himself out of the fray. He neither endorsed nor opposed the distribution of accounts to avoid being used by others who might exploit the guise of education for their own authority. What should have been a good thing could easily have turned sour because of this.

A thousand accounts were more than enough to ensure that each teacher and student in the AI department could have one with plenty to spare, but without restrictions, no matter how many accounts there were, it would never be enough, not to mention others from inside and outside the university.

Chen Meng took her elder brother Chen Fei's advice to heart and began to distribute AI combat accounts and general domain name addresses to friends. An account could only be linked to a communication number once, eliminating the possibility of multiple people sharing the same account. Given the involvement of personal privacy and information security, it's doubtful many would be willing to lend out their communication numbers so freely.

The chance to compete with the legendary AI "Adam" was probably something that many AI professionals would find highly intriguing, especially for students' grades. It had an immediate and beneficial effect and could noticeably spur on their studies. It was far better than just hitting the books, as it allowed a more direct understanding of AI operational and security mechanisms.

For those who wished to excel in their studies, such an opportunity would not be missed.

In no time, Chen Meng once again became a popular figure in the AI department.

The level of support from her second brother was truly beyond imagination.

"Xiao Meng, is there something we can discuss?"

A classmate with whom she was on good terms discreetly approached Chen Meng.

"What is it?"

Chen Meng followed to a corner.

"Uh, can I, maybe, get another account?"

The classmate seemed anxious and clearly nervous.

"What's going on? You need to explain yourself," Chen Meng prompted.

Chen Meng had a vague idea of what was happening.

"Hey, I have to say first, this wasn't my idea!" The classmate finally cracked and hastily absolved herself of any involvement, her stammering speech suddenly becoming fluent as she continued, "It's Zhang Zhenzhen and the others. They didn't dare to ask you for an account themselves, so they came to me. You know I can't say no easily, so it was hard for me to..."

She trailed off, lapsing back into hesitant murmuring.

It seemed she indeed had a wishy-washy nature.

"Huh? Zhang Zhenzhen? If she wants an account, let her come to me personally. Why would she send someone else? Sneaking around like this, is she too ashamed to be seen? No, even if she came herself, I wouldn't give it to her!"

Just thinking of that self-deluded, snake-like woman made Chen Meng furious. Did she think Chen Meng was easy to bully? Dreaming of taking advantage of her! Ptui!

Stay as far away from me as your thoughts can go!

"I knew it, I knew this would happen. It's just impossible. I already said that I shouldn't have agreed to Zhang Zhenzhen."

The fright caused by Chen Meng's grinding teeth made her classmate desperately anxious. With such a sticky nature, the classmate really wasn't cut out for doing favors for others. Zhang Zhenzhen must have struggled to find someone else. Ever since her last social faux pas, her group of girls had quickly dwindled, and only this classmate, who couldn't refuse requests easily, would be willing to take on such an offensive task.

"Classmate Cai, take good care of the account I gave you. Don't associate with people like Zhang Zhenzhen anymore, and it's best not to exchange even an extra word with her, got it?"

Chen Meng turned away and caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure flitting away in the corner, sneering coldly to herself.

That must be that despicable Zhang Zhenzhen, hiding in the distance and sneaking peeks. Such a cowardly rat wants an account? She can wait eight hundred years!

Little Sister Chen may not have been narrow-minded, but she certainly wasn't a prime minister with a belly wide enough to paddle a boat in.

"Oh, got it!"

After the oblivious classmate eagerly nodded, she scurried away with quick, short steps.

This resulted in almost the entire AI department, except for a few incompatible students, obtaining accounts. A few dozen accounts were left for the principal professor, Aoi Hinata, to distribute among colleagues inside and outside the university in a kind of quid pro quo.

Zhang Zhenzhen, who was unable to acquire an account, was so furious that she clenched her teeth and stamped her feet. The hapless 'puppy love' student Meng Yang was also helpless, wondering why he had foolishly meddled in other people's business. Now, the blame and the debt had a clear owner. Despite his limited appearances, he was still caught in the crossfire, truly a case of the innocent suffering for the sins of others.

Chen Meng, the beloved 'little sister,' successfully established a clear-cut reputation where those who sided with her thrived and those who opposed her perished. Chen Fei felt greatly relieved; at least she wasn't the naive and excessively kind-hearted person she once was. The painful lesson of being tricked into signing documents seemed a thing of the past.

While Little Sister Chen studied in peace, Chen Fei revisited campus life at Northern Industrial University. He wandered around the library, ate in the cafeteria, occasionally cooked a meal or two himself, invited some teachers and students over to the mobile base vehicle for a chat and tea, or attended AI department classes with Chen Meng, enjoying himself immensely.

Every couple of days, he would also chat with Teacher Shen Fei on a whim or inquire about the progress of the 04 team left back in Yarsk City.

After moving from light into the shadows, the 04 team actually stumbled upon some leads.

Although the local police of Yarsk City could not offer any more assistance, as long as the investigation continued in the right direction with patience and meticulous attention to detail, more would be uncovered sooner or later.

When it was time to recall the mobile base vehicle and Chen Fei, it would signal the day for the 04 team to engage in battle once again.

Having not even spent a week reliving university life, Liaison Officer Rossi suddenly called Chen Fei.

"Wait a moment... uh... someone will... call... you... phone!... Assist... comply..."

Apparently finding speaking too cumbersome, Liaison Officer Rossi decided to blurt out words, letting Chen Fei guess the rest.

This stuttering issue seems incurable.

"So, someone is asking for my help, telling me to obey orders and provide assistance—is that what you mean?"

Chen Fei guessed correctly on the spot, roughly getting seven or eight out of ten.

"Right... temporary transfer... there's an agreement..."

Rossi became more proficient in this kind of word-jumping method, although it really tested the intelligence and literary level of others.

"The Global United Defense Committee has an agreement with the local authorities to mutually second staff, right?"

Chen Fei seemed to understand even more. The Blue Star Global United Defense Committee could second people from various sovereignties, so conversely, the sovereignties could also second people from the Committee, particularly personnel with local citizenship, making the reasons even more justified.

In fact, no matter the reason, Chen Fei had no right to refuse, because it was his duty.

"Yes!"

Rossi sounded as if he finally exhaled a breath of relief, emitting a long sigh.

Chen Fei's intelligence finally managed to comprehend his key information; otherwise, rephrasing it into language and expressing it would be too strenuous. It was not only tiring to speak but also exhausting for others to listen. It was better just to say the keywords—guess right, YES; guess wrong, NO—it was indeed more efficient.

No sooner had Chen Fei ended the call than his mobile phone rang with a communication number showing "000000."

After answering, before he could even speak, the person on the other end took the lead, "Is this Chen Fei?"

Chen Fei could only respond, "Uh! Yes!"

The person holding the "000000" special communication number spoke directly, "Wait at the Mobile Base Vehicle, be prepared, we will arrive in five minutes, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Click! The call ended, quite decisively, without a single superfluous word.

Ordinary individuals have a personal communication number with only 12 digits; if the planetary code (4 digits) and sovereignty area code (4 digits) are added, the total length can reach 20 digits. Normally, only the 12 digits are used for dialing during everyday calls. Business and government numbers follow another formatting system, but a number like "000000" is extraordinarily unusual.

Chen Fei thought back to the previous call and the reminder from Liaison Officer Rossi.

He assumed it was settled before the third call came through.

Returning to the Mobile Base Vehicle's side, Chen Fei watched the time while awaiting the arrival of his contact.

Before long, several figures appeared not far away.

"Eh?"

Chen Fei cast his gaze over. The leader of the group seemed to be Zhang Zhenzhen, the student who had previously clashed with Chen Meng, accompanied by two campus security guards and two uniformed police officers.

"Security brother, and officer comrades, that guy must be a fraudster—hanging around the campus every day, eating and drinking without contributing, engaging in dalliances; just look at him, he's clearly no good. Owning Single Soldier Tactical Armor, and there's even a cannon on the vehicle—this is possession of illegal weapons. We mustn't let him off this time..."

Zhang Zhenzhen, leading the way, babbled incessantly, pointing fingers at Chen Fei, who leaned against the Mobile Base Vehicle, likely hurling nothing but invectives.@@novelbin@@

The two campus security guards and two uniformed police officers approached the Mobile Base Vehicle, sizing up the man and vehicle.

One of the officers saluted first, then said, "Comrade, please show your identification."

As the words left his mouth, a shadow was cast, and the sky suddenly darkened.

One of the security guards instinctively looked up, his mouth agape.

"Ah? What is that?"

The other guard exclaimed in shock, "It's an Airship!"

The main technology system for large transportation Aircraft in these parts is based on the Magic Cube Warship. The demand for Anti-gravity Field Generator SEG Units is not high, albeit it is a bit more power-consuming, but the production is quite significant.

"It's, it's trying to land!"

"Quick, get away from here!"

The two police officers noticed the landing guidance lights thrown down by the Airship and, flanking Zhang Zhenzhen, ran out of the illuminated area.

It was part of the Airship landing procedure—if they didn't want an accident, they needed to get as far away as possible.

Zhang Zhenzhen shrieked in panic without understanding why.

"Aaaah, why is there an Airship coming?"

She shuddered suddenly, her gaze falling on the Mobile Base Vehicle that remained in place.

This trickster... wasn't he just supposed to be a lousy aircraft mechanic?

What a poser!
