Chapter 297: Upgrade Plan

Turning around, she saw Ye Su standing before her. Excited, she lunged forward, hugged Ye Su, and said:

"Boss, when did you get back!"

Ye Su pinched her chubby little cheeks and laughed:

"Long time no see, you've actually gotten fatter."

Li Ermeng hurriedly hid her milk tea behind her back and changed the subject:

"Boss, you don't know, Lin Fei has already been hospitalized!"

"I know all about that; I was there at the time!"

Li Ermeng wrinkled her delicate nose and said: "Since that's the case, take me to the hospital! I want to go see her. Big Sister Zhuo Lin said it's dangerous outside right now and won't let us leave."

Hearing of Zhuo Lin's arrangements, Ye Su couldn't help but nod and say:

"Zhuo Lin's arrangements are very thorough. It is indeed very dangerous outside right now. Try not to go out for the next few days unless necessary. Wait until I've cleared away these dangers and stabilized things before you go out again!"

Hearing Ye Su's instructions, Li Ermeng obediently lowered her head. Back then, just after Ye Su left, they had encountered an attack, and later the research institute had faced all sorts of difficulties.

She was just a bit lively, not stupid; this situation was clearly someone targeting the research institute.

"Go, notify the people from the weapons research group to come to the conference room. Oh, and you come too."

Li Ermeng hurriedly rushed out with her milk tea. At this moment, Ye Su arrived at the base's data center.

He took a crystal filled with characters from his pocket and placed it on the computer. Soon, the crystal melted and drilled into the base's computer.

Looking at the little girl appearing on the screen, Ye Su spoke:

"From now on, this is your home. Let me give you a name! What would you like to be called?"

"Home? A name?"

The intelligent lifeform on the screen flickered for two seconds before reappearing in front of Ye Su, a smile on the little girl's face.

"Virtuous and noble, broad in love and tolerance—from now on, you shall be called Borong!"

Borong nodded, her face beaming with joy; it seemed she liked the name very much.

After settling Borong, Ye Su found Xi Lin and Meng Yao.

Seeing Ye Su approach, Xi Lin hurried to greet him.

"Su, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Ye Su first comforted Xi Lin, then said to Meng Yao with a face full of apology:

"I'm truly sorry. I had intended to take you to explore some delicacies, but I got held up here!"

"It's no matter. I've been looking at some history books, which is perfect for completing my project!"

Ye Su nodded and stated his purpose: "I'm going to have Xi Lin design a new type of weapon. Would you like to come along and take a look?"

Meng Yao thought that since she was staying here, it wouldn't be right to just eat and live for free, so she spoke up:

"That's fine. As it happens, I have some understanding of weapons as well!" ===== CHAPTER 659 =====

"Eh, the boss actually brought back a little girl! Could it be the boss's daughter?"

"That's right, and there's even a foreigner!"

"So cute! I want one!"

The women looked at the bright-eyed, crisp-looking little girl behind Ye Su, who possessed an indescribable air—at once radiant and spirited—capturing everyone's attention.

Facing everyone's gaze, Xi Lin felt a bit at a loss and clutched Ye Su's clothes tightly.

Sensing Xi Lin's nervousness, Ye Su reached out to hold her hand as they walked in. Meng Yao, on the other hand, glanced at the doorway and simply found an empty seat to sit down.

After arranging for Xi Lin to sit, Ye Su took out the disintegration gun and placed it on the table...

Meng Yao gave the disintegration gun on the table a strange look, then sat back down.

"This is what I gained from this trip. It's a higher-grade weapon than the laser gun and is the direction for our future research, especially in solving the issue of energy concentration!"

After finishing, Ye Su pulled Xi Lin over to introduce her to everyone:

"This is Xi Lin, our new teammate. From now on, energy-related problems will be handed over to her to solve!"

Just as everyone was waiting for Ye Su to introduce Meng Yao, Ye Su suddenly continued by talking about the Transformer modification and upgrade plan.

"I believe everyone already knows that giant beasts have appeared in various places around the world. When facing these giant beasts, our Transformers have become much less effective.

Therefore, I plan to restart the Transformer project. If anyone has any thoughts, please feel free to speak up!

Borong, show everyone the diagrams!"

Hearing Ye Su's words, everyone looked at Meng Yao, their gazes making Meng Yao feel bewildered.

At this moment, a projection appeared on the conference room screen, and a little girl in red appeared on the screen!

"Let me introduce everyone to our base's new member, the intelligent lifeform Borong. From now on, if there are any modeling problems in our research, you can ask her for help!"

Everyone was quite curious about an intelligent lifeform. After all, the Transformers they knew were only artificial intelligence, yet their capabilities already left ordinary humans far behind. Just how astonishing would a true intelligent lifeform be?

Just then, Li Ermeng suddenly pouted and said aggrievedly:

"Boss, if that's the case, then I'm useless. With an intelligent lifeform participating in digital modeling, you won't need me anymore." ===== CHAPTER 660 =====

But before Ye Su could speak, Borong had already said: "Your job is, of course, to assist me with digital modeling! Without a quantum calculator, how could I possibly calculate so much data? I'd fry my CPU!"

Li Ermeng broke into a smile through her tears: "Don't worry! I will definitely assist you well!"

Ye Su's mouth twitched—children are so easy to coax!

The small disturbance passed easily, but everyone's hearts couldn't calm down for a moment. They hadn't expected this intelligent lifeform to have such wisdom, even smarter than humans—like Li Ermeng, who was still happy even after being hoodwinked.

Meng Yao, conversely, was accustomed to this; it was just an intelligent lifeform, she had seen plenty.

As Borong coordinated with everyone's discussion on modeling, they soon completed the conceptual model for the giant-sized Transformer.

After the meeting ended, the women chattered as they surrounded Meng Yao and Xi Lin.

"Alright, I'll leave the arrangements for Xi Lin and Meng Yao to you all!"

Ye Su walked out of the research institute and headed toward the hospital. He wondered if Lin Fei had woken up yet!

"You're Ye Su? You don't look any different! So you're the one who broke Old Man Li's legs?"

Ye Su stopped in his tracks and scanned the area; there were over a dozen youths with tattooed arms surrounding him.

A youth with dyed colorful rooster-hair and ear studs was circling Ye Su, looking him up and down!

Seeing this hooligan-like youth, Ye Su couldn't help but frown and say:

"Move aside!"

Upon hearing Ye Su's words, the youth let out a "pfft" of laughter.

He walked up to Ye Su and poked Ye Su's forehead hard with his finger!

"Kid, I couldn't tell, but you're a prickly one. You're pretty arrogant!"

The social youths behind him also laughed, their eyes lighting up with schadenfreude.

Ye Su grabbed the youth's finger and twisted it hard.

"Ouch, it hurts, ouch, it's going to break, let go!"

Ye Su shoved the youth away and said:

"Keep your eyes peeled in the future. If you don't want them, I'll donate them to someone who needs them!"

The youth, clutching his hand which was swollen like a carrot, turned a shade of green and white as he recalled the scene just now.

He kicked his brothers, who were still gloating, and said in a fit of shame and anger:

"What are you laughing at! Didn't you see I'm hurt? Take him down for me! Whatever happens, I, Xie Cheng, will take responsibility!"

Watching the small-time thugs rushing up, Ye Su spat out a line:

"A rabble!"

He really couldn't muster any interest. Seeing the thug in the lead swinging a tetanus-inducing blade at him,

Ye Su twisted his body to dodge and casually punched him in the face.

"Ah! My teeth! They fell out!"

The thug dropped the rusty machete in his hand, covered his mouth with both hands, and from now on, he would never have to worry about food getting stuck in his teeth again!

Seeing blood, these thugs didn't retreat or get scared; instead, it stirred up their viciousness. They rushed forward like they were high on adrenaline, and some even more extreme ones threw their weapons like hidden projectiles.

As the saying goes, chaotic punches can kill a master. Even Ye Su had to retreat three steps when facing such disorganized, dense attacks—mainly because he didn't want to touch their knives, which were covered in dark red rust.

Seeing Ye Su retreat, Xie Cheng became even more excited.

"Brothers, put in some effort!"

It was a waste for his grandfather to say how powerful this Ye Su was; he was just a paper tiger. Once he took him down, his grandfather would definitely look at him with new respect.

Just as Xie Cheng was daydreaming, a black shadow struck, knocking him directly to the ground.

"What the..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a scream erupted, and the pressure on his body increased.

A pile of lackeys were thrown on top of him by Ye Su. Xie Cheng felt like his ribs were about to be crushed, and he couldn't even catch his breath.

"Ye Su, you'd better let me go, or my grandfather won't let you off!"

Ye Su lowered his head and looked at Xie Cheng, who was struggling to breathe, and laughed:

"It seems you haven't recognized reality. You're in my hands now, and your grandfather can't save you!"

"My grandfather is the Minister of the Organization Department! Just try touching me!"

Ye Su looked at the rooster-haired youth with some surprise. Whose second or third generation wasn't strictly disciplined? He hadn't expected such a freak to appear; his grandfather would probably be furious if he saw him.

Ye Su asked curiously: "What is your grandfather's surname?"

"My grandfather's surname is Xie. Scared, aren't you? Hurry up and let me go, then kneel and apologize to me. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you off!"

"So it's Minister Xie! No wonder. Truly, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be too!"

Seeing Ye Su looking at him with cold eyes, Xie Cheng curled up in terror:

"What are you doing? My grandfather is... Ah~"

"You aren't envious of Old Man Li having his limbs crippled? I'll help you out! When you see your grandfather, tell him for me that this is just the interest I'm collecting first!"

After Ye Su crippled Xie Cheng's limbs, he strode toward the hospital.

At this moment, Minister Xie was discussing how to deal with Ye Su with other officials when his private phone rang.

Seeing it was his grandson calling, and since the Xie family had only one heir, Minister Xie treasured this grandson dearly. ===== CHAPTER 661 =====
