Chapter 917: Chapter 738 Print Out a Boyfriend

At this moment, Wei Shiyue was playing with a young dragon she had given birth to in the desert of the Near East Region.

The young dragon was only 20 centimeters long, immobile under its mother’s claws, covered in pitch-black scales, with eyes of golden color, appearing sickly and incredibly small, and especially weak, probably affected by the aura of the undead emanating from Wei Shiyue.

Fortunately, thanks to the powerful life force injected by Xu Yang, this child still has a high chance of surviving to adulthood.

This black Young Shadow Dragon is her greatest treasure. Wei Shiyue wanted to raise this child on her own, so even though the child had hatched a long time ago, she had no thoughts of contacting Xu Yang.

Unless she wants a second one...

Therefore, Xu Yang, who was far away in the Northern Archipelago, could only imagine what the young dragon looked like.

Xu Yang thought about the Chishiki born to Kanako and the young dragon born to Wei Shiyue, and found it quite marvelous.

Is this what inheriting bloodlines feels like? Like leveling up a sub-account in a game, the dreams one cannot fulfill, the things one cannot do, could be accomplished by their children instead.

"Congratulations, master," Lila said softly.

"Do you want a child too?" Xu Yang lifted Lila with both hands.

Installing a pregnancy module on Lila and extracting genetic material should do the trick. Who says Xu Yang can’t give robots maternity leave?

"Ah—master..." Lila felt infinitely cherished, her mood in her circuitry was joyful, "...but Lila does not need a child, Lila only wishes to always be by master’s side."

"Oh, my Baby Lila..."

After affectionately cherishing Lila intensely, Xu Yang finally got ready to leave.

Next were the routine inspections of the scientific research departments.

Science is the foundation of progress and requires frequent interactions with Miyazato Kazama.

Miyazato Kazama also mentioned a new outstanding weapon.

"We’ve cracked a lot of technology seized from Black Fire Innovation, and now we can say that we’ve made great strides in weapons design!" Miyazato Kazama was very excited, eagerly wanting to show something to Xu Yang.

Her primary job is to constantly design, produce, and advance military weapons, and defeating Black Fire Innovation has provided her with endless materials and blueprints.

As the world’s most famous arms dealers collapsed, leaving a large amount of technological achievements behind, Nestor Corporation’s establishment on Taiya Archipelago also severely accepted a massive array of technical archives, an opportunity not encountered every day. Miyazato Kazama has been in an extremely enthusiastic work condition every single day for the past six months.

"If you ask me which advanced weapon from Black Fire Innovation impressed me the most, it would be the bullets that restrict the movements of witches, as well as the Ion Sword," said Xu Yang.

"The Ion Sword requires specific magic power from certain witches to barely produce some, which is rather complicated. But for those bullets that can restrain witches, we have already grasped the production process and greatly developed it!" Miyazato Kazama said excitedly.

She led Xu Yang to her weapon design workshop where a unique, conical black bullet was displayed in the testing area, engraved with exquisite patterns, symbolizing the extraordinary power of this bullet, distinguishing it from ordinary copper bullets.

Originally, Farosa was hit by such an anti-witch bullet at the Bronze Titan Excavation Site, resulting in the loss of her magic power until she devoured the flesh of a deity to regain her strength, which shows the powerful force of this bullet.

"It is cast from Night Silver," observed Xu Yang, looking at the black appearance of the bullet.

"Exactly! This is the way of progress, we have completely innovated and transformed this technology from Black Fire Innovation. Initially, Black Fire Innovation used copper bullet casings, but now we use the magical material ’Night Silver’ to make bullets!" said Miyazato Kazama assertively, full of confidence in her weaponry design.

"I remember initially although Black Fire Innovation used this kind of bullet to suppress the extraordinary, they often failed," Xu Yang pondered.

"Right, the principle of this weapon is ’poison’. Black Fire Innovation has been collecting mystical artifacts around the world and utilizing them. This ’toxin’ is one of the weapons they found. We optimized the formula by adding the Poison Master’s insolvable poison to the anti-magic toxin found by Black Fire. I have named it... ’Godslaying Mercury’!" said Miyazato Kazama confidently.

Black Fire Innovation once looked massively for mystical items, and this was one of their accomplishments. So they relied on a kind of poison to paralyze and dissolve the magic power in Farosa, huh? Xu Yang nodded.

Now with the ultimate toxin provided by the Poison Master, combined with the powerful penetrative property of Night Silver, these bullets are sufficient to injure supernatural entities.

Thus, when combatting ordinary mystic clans and supernatural threats, whether Bureau of Secrets operatives or regular soldiers, they can use "Godslaying Mercury" to efficiently eliminate enemies without being as passive as before.

Just like the incident with Suzukawa Kiyo, if they had equipped Godslaying Mercury at that time, they could have reduced the threat by more than half. After being relentlessly attacked by such bullets, even Suzukawa Kiyo wouldn’t be able to replicate at will anymore.

"Well done," Xu Yang commended. "Having inherited the military technology from Black Fire Innovation, our military technology is probably catching up to the level of giant corporations."

"I will design the best products for our war machines!" Miyazato Kazama nodded vigorously.

Her design blueprints also include specialized support for colonels such as mobile electromagnetic interference combat vehicles, individual anti-armor rockets, and disposable missile drones - all equipment favorable for outmatching with minor resources.

Xu Yang was very satisfied with these brand new weapon products, most of which would be sold overseas and compatible with Nestor Corporation’s Synthetic Human industry. Currently, Nestor Corporation has produced 30% of the world’s Synthetic Humans, causing rumors overseas that all Synthetic Humans produced by Nestor Corporation contain surveillance chips secretly stealing global information.

"Regarding the Starlight Molybdenite ore transported from Hot Tree Continent, it is still under research and progress. Can it be that those Ratmen have already dared to carry out practical modifications on it? It is indeed unbelievable," Miyazato Kazama wondered.

"They see things from a different perspective from us; they may develop a different technological branch," Xu Yang said.

"Speaking of technological branches, it’s a pity that some special blueprints have been lost or stolen by other corporations. Like the energy shield generator of a space mothership, the armor of the Invisible Imperial Guard, ’Soul Lament’ and other advanced firearms blueprints," Miyazato Kazama sighed while holding her wrist.

It was mainly Laughing Star’s doing. Xu Yang thought secretly. If it weren’t for Laughing Star’s interference and attacks, he might have taken all the information amidst the chaos of the Taiya Archipelago.

Xu Yang did what he could; he intentionally replaced some information, scrambled some experimental parameters, and erased his own traces, allowing Laughing Star to mistake it for real information and take it back. From how Laughing Star reacted, it indeed had some effect.

"There are also some witches, like those capable of creating interdimensional gates, and the Children of Phantom Light... we haven’t found them all yet." Xu Yang shook his head.

After the fall of Black Fire Innovation, its legacy was quickly divided among surrounding companies which all benefited to varying degrees in military advancements, with Nestor Corporation not swallowing it whole.

Since Nestor Corporation already had the Warships Orochi, Yokozuna, Chika Island, Baraya, and Hanzo, they lacked the military budget to maintain a larger fleet size. The nine space motherships left from Black Fire Innovation were also bought out by other companies in a bidding contest, of those eager to enhance their corporate security.

The utility of such lethal weapon like space motherships was also under reconsideration, with likely phase-out because they’re extremely expensive. Moreover, with the loss of Yan Duo Metal, the defensive capability of new warships has significantly weakened.

"The good news is, the rehabilitation process of the Quantum Warrior is finally reaching its final stages, and as soon as we ’manufacture’ him successfully, I’ll report to you immediately," Miyazato Kazama said.

Her eyes glittered with a bloodthirsty glow, as Miyazato Kazama enjoyed creating living weapons, and the Quantum Warrior was an excellent vessel for this.

"You’ve worked hard," Xu Yang nodded.

"By the way... You often visit the Quantum Institute, how has Xiao Ai been lately?" Miyazato Kazazi couldn’t help but venture into personal issues.

"She has become a lot more cheerful, because I’ve been allocating grants for the quantum computer tests... it sped up the progress."

"Thank you for the support you’ve provided for Xiao Ai," Miyazato Kazama promptly bowed to Xu Yang, "Thank you for the strong support to her career!"

"It’s what I should do. If the quantum computer ’Heberon’ could be completed, everyone in Nestor Corporation would immensely benefit," Xu Yang busily said.

"And I will continue to manage the science department well, to ensure past mistakes are not repeated!" Miyazato Kazama said solemnly.

"You’ve earned your keep," Xu Yang acknowledged Miyazato Kazama.

After parting from Miyazato Kazama, Xu Yang saw it was end of workday and bought an expensive 3D printer as a gift, then returned to Xu Cheng’s place.

Xu Cheng, accustomed to her father’s absences, would watch anime at home when her dad was away, with her own small bookshelf and a collection cabinet filled with her favorite fantasy works.

"I’m back," Xu Yang entered the door.

"Daddy’s back!" Xu Cheng quickly scrambled up from the inner room, ran outside to hug Xu Yang’s legs, looking up at him with her eyes wide open, showing an expectant and cute smile.

"I brought you a gift," Xu Yang lifted up a heavy 3D printer from outside, "make some stuff for fun."

"Wow!" Xu Cheng had seen a 3D printer in the corner of her dad’s office when she was young and had been extremely envious since whatever her dad wanted could be created with just a press of a button.

Xu Yang placed it in a spacious corner of the interior room, set down the instruction manual and several large bags of eco-friendly plastic materials on the floor, and let Xu Cheng tinker with it.

He, on the other hand, attempted to trace back the most troublesome hacker known as Laughing Star, aiming to uncover this person’s details.

Laughing Star had certain habits that were as glaring as signature traits.

Laughing Star often provoked Cyber Specters, posting a series of targeted rumors online to express disdain for the Cyber Specters, mainly posting in the open communication platform "New World Mechanism," with traces left in countless discussion groups.

"Ah so funny, let me expose the great achievements of the Cyber Specters for you."

"Let UUS see how I replicated the Cyber Specter-designed network intrusion program."

"So annoying, this Cyber Specter, messing around my website while I was asleep."

When no one replied, Laughing Star tinkered a bit more, thinking her post might have been blocked. Even when Laughing Star pinned her own post to the top, there were still only a few willing to reply, making her even more radical.

It seems Laughing Star wants to confront me. Xu Yang thought to himself. Some of her word choices are feminized, she might actually be a beautiful girl.

Continuously narrowing the search range and looking for clues, Xu Yang deduced that Laughing Star was likely a female aged between 20 and 40, probably born in the Eastern Hemisphere. More information needed further excavation.

Xu Yang knew Laughing Star would also dig deep into him, so he had multiple layers of disguise in place; after all, he already had multiple identities spread around the world.

Even if Laughing Star figures out one true identity, other identities are still safe.

In previous confrontations, Laughing Star had familiarized herself with Xu Yang’s tactics, now it was a matter of who could bring new skills to threaten the opponent’s foundation.

By ten o’clock that night, the self-entertained Xu Cheng had made a grayish cloak using the 3D printer, hurriedly putting it on and running outside.

"Quack, quack!" she proudly pointed at the plastic cloth draped over her body, eager to hear her dad’s praise.

"It feels like flying," Xu Yang looked at her, pretending to be amazed, "how did you do it!"

"Quack!" Xu Cheng ran around waving the cloak.

When it was bedtime, Xu Cheng was still gesturing about it.

"Quack, quack." Xu Cheng fell asleep still looking at the 3D printer in the corner of the room.

"What do you want to make?" Xu Yang turned off the light.

"A boyfriend!" Xu Cheng joyfully said.
