CHAPTER 81: CHAPTER 58: DEFENDER, PROTECT THEM [VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKET]_2

"How confident are you?"

Chang Geng chuckled lightly.

The face that once belonged to a low-key and dull scientific researcher now carried a hint of unapologetic brilliance.

He handed over the tablet in front of him.

"I happen to have a research project here that requires military sites and materials for experimentation. If successful, this could be the first step in our collaboration with the military!"

The blueprint was simple, even looking as if it was casually drawn—just an ordinary cannon barrel.

"What is this?"

Zhu Lie couldn’t understand it at all—his talent in finance seemed inversely proportional to his knowledge in scientific research.

Chang Geng smiled.

"It’s a new type of electromagnetic weapon that performs linear penetration attacks by ignoring visual obstacle hierarchies within a set range.

"I call it the Gathering Line Cannon."

...

Zhu Lie came in a hurry and left in a hurry as well, while Chang Geng stood atop the building watching his car quickly disappear at the end of the road, then lowered his head and smiled.

"Do you still think you’re irreplaceable to Zhu Lie, to Skywind Research Institute?"

In the next moment, accompanied by a strong dizziness, Chang Geng reached out to firmly grasp the railing, his heart yet filled with determination.

"Come, let me accompany you in defying your fate."

And defy mine.

A sharp pain emerged from the depths of his mind—that was the feeling of acceptance as the other party finally succumbed and was willing to reside and learn in his Spiritual Domain.

This feeling could neither be driven away nor isolated.

He could only use every ounce of his strength to construct a cage, further compressing his already strained spiritual power.

The next second, he slowly sat down against the railing, completely exhausted.

His assistant watched him carefully and worriedly from a distance.

And Chang Geng laughed softly: "Push my wheelchair from the lab over here."

...

Chu River knew nothing about this.

The school hadn’t started yet, Chang Geng hadn’t shown activity, and the money to manufacture Sky Falcon wasn’t enough.

Meanwhile, her Transformer—not, her modified car, was still being assembled with parts.

It was worth noting that they finally moved from a 30-square-meter warehouse to a car warehouse near the auto repair shop.

No other reason, primarily because the boss lady’s modified car needed to be equipped with a large mechanical arm.

And Little Yellow... although he’s busy taking the driver’s license test every night, in his dreams, he’s already blazing down Mount Akina in the boss lady’s flashy modified car!

This is the dream of manhood!

And with the assembly of the modifications handled by the mechanical arm, Chu Fa Da once again had nothing to do.

She crouched at the warehouse door, feeling especially irritable—why hasn’t Chang Geng come yet?

Right now, relying on the Cleaning Circle, her fame has increased—no, she doesn’t have a team now, so her research and creation are anonymous!

She wanted to wait for public sentiment to ignite the magnetic field, but perhaps just a single Cleaning Circle wasn’t enough.

Thinking about it over and over, watching the rain patter down, a new money-making idea came to her.

And when Chang Geng finally finished dealing with everything around him, he found Chu River had a new product.

"Little He..."

He smiled helplessly—a lot of quirky ideas.

...

The summer rain comes suddenly, and Yu Lian, standing at the company entrance after work, couldn’t help but glance at the overcast sky.

"Xiao Lian, didn’t you bring an umbrella?"

A colleague asked enthusiastically, "My husband is coming to pick me up later, join us."

Yu Lian shook her head: "No, no, it’s too much trouble; I brought an umbrella."

Her colleague lived in the south of the city, and she lived in the north. With the back-and-forth and traffic jams, it would take three or four hours; too much hassle.

Seeing her colleague still hesitant, she smiled at her, reached into her small purse, and pulled out a... small cookie?

It was a disc-shaped object, slightly larger than a coin, with a bit of thickness, in an adorable orange color.

Yu Lian stuck it to her shoulder, and in an instant, a thin, semi-transparent film enveloped her, looking like she was wrapped in a layer of plastic.

Yet it fit snugly, not seeming unsightly in the least, with edges adhering tightly.

The colleague was dumbfounded!

"What... what is this?!"

Yu Lian smiled proudly: "It’s a new product from Circle Shop, the Rainy Circle, which I just snagged yesterday."

She saw her colleague’s envious yet shocked expression and reined in her pride, modestly explaining, "Oh, it’s actually nothing, just an ordinary raincoat that automatically retracts and covers."

In her colleague’s mind, a thousand screaming chickens erupted: "...Ah, ah, ah, raincoats aren’t like this!"

Just as she was about to ask more questions, Yu Lian glanced at her phone—
