Chapter 744

Star unwilling to show weakness: "You're so eager to duel, you won't live till tomorrow?"

Heh, I hope your martial skill matches your mouth. After saying that, Si Ke Te turned and prepared to pilot his mech.

San Yue Qi Xiaojie lowered her head to look at the sword in her hand, still worried: "I don't know what Silver Wolf did to my sword; can I really beat Si Ke Te?"

Before her voice even faded, a mechanical female voice resembling Silver Wolf's tone sounded from the sword:

Hey, esteemed San Yue Qi Xiaojie, don't worry, you'll surely win.

San Yue Qi Xiaojie jumped in fright: "Wah! My sword can talk!!"

Esteemed San Yue Qi Xiaojie, I am the tactical AI Prometheus Bracket Learning Edition (unpaid cracked version); I will help you defeat your enemies.

Silver Wolf is really impressive...

Star was about to praise Silver Wolf, but this AI directly denied: "Silver Wolf isn't impressive at all; when integrating me into your weapon, Silver Wolf's crude welding technique reduced the sword's impact resistance by twelve percent."

But don't worry, I can help you secure victory, because I'm even stronger.

Um... San Yue Qi Xiaojie lowered her voice and whispered: "How do you defeat them?"

Silver Wolf's requirement for me is: 'Know the enemy and know yourself, the opponent will be defeated.' I will load a tiny virus into the opponent's operating system the moment the sword tip touches the mech. Go ahead, strike the opponent.

Watching San Yue Qi Xiaojie's sword float mid-air, a sinister premonition rose in Si Ke Te's chest: "Did I hear her sword speaking? Is it an illusion?"

Alright, take the sword! Is this okay?

Before San Yue Qi Xiaojie could ready her sword stance, the tactical AI Prometheus in her hand flew off like a cruise missile, seeking the company's mech and striking its vital point.

Si Ke Te suddenly noticed the large mech beside him malfunctioning, eerie red light continually emanating from its frame.

Control system... rebooting... detected program fault.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Si Ke Te's forehead: "What's happening? My mech... San Yue Qi Xiaojie, what did you do to my mech?"

I... I don't know either?

The mech turned, aiming its cannon at Si Ke Te and the others: "Higher authority command recognized, entering combat standby——"

Esteemed San Yue Qi Xiaojie, now, commence battle.

——

Genshin Impact.

Huh? That's too cheating! Just one hit and you controlled the enemy mech—what kind of tech is this?

Sangdonyi set down her teacup, slightly frowning. Although such shocking technology had appeared more than once in the firmament, this tech capable of instantly seizing mech control still particularly concerned her.

Being able to instantly commandeer the company's civilian mechs also meant she could instantly sever her connection with Prolonia.

Dear Sangdonyi, can't you do it?

The Colombiana sitting opposite suddenly spoke.

Colombiana! What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean 'I can't'? I just haven't thoroughly studied Silver Wolf's tech! Besides, don't assume Prolonia is the company's cheap mass-produced goods; Silver Wolf being able to operate the company's mechs doesn't mean it can operate Prolonia!

Sangdonyi's cheeks puffed with anger as she coldly snorted: "I've long said certain people should be barred from tea parties; aside from spouting childish, ridiculous remarks, they always provoke anger."

Still, speaking of which, Colombiana just reminded us.

Arechiño seemed already used to Sangdonyi's outbursts, skillfully mediating: "Even if the virus can't control Prolonia, other machinery in this design bureau could still be hacked, so we should prepare in advance. Just like the last anti-organic equation, if we don't keep iterating on existing machinery, Snezhnaya's machinery might one day become our enemy."

——

Uh oh! Brothers, our mechs have been taken over—quickly prepare to fight back!

Seeing the huge mech wobble toward Si Ke Te, he turned pale: "San Yue Qi Xiaojie, I'm begging you once—this mech isn't cheap, don't wreck it for me!"

Prometheus: 'Of course, as long as you don't fight back, the mech will remain unharmed.'

San Yue Qi Xiaojie watched, astonished: "What a partner, what kind of cyber sword technique is this..."

Hehe, 'Know the enemy and know yourself, the opponent will be defeated.'

The mech merely swung casually, sending several company staff flying; one staggered over to Si Ke Te's side, trying to urge him to step back.

Officer Si Ke Te, our mechs are under control—there's no way we can defeat them!

Heh... if we fought fairly, it might count as a martial arts exchange. Too bad, too bad, San Yue Qi Xiaojie, your actions have crossed the final line of law! You injected a virus into the company's mechs, seized control—this infringes on corporate intellectual property and means of production!

Silver Wolf chuckled: "You should be more concerned about yourself—don't leave your personal data on public computers, Si Ke Te."

Si Ke Te panicked instantly, trembling as he wiped sweat from his forehead: "Personal data? I—I don't understand what you're saying."

How could you forget? I saw you splurge on the 'Final Delete Data' service, so I guess what's stored on your computer must be worth a look.

Si Ke Te was so startled he could barely speak: "Don't you dare look! That's my private privacy! Who allowed you to sneak a peek—stop looking right now!"

——

Blessings upon a beautiful world.

Oh? Now I have to look—maybe it contains several terabytes of study materials.

Just imagining it makes Zhēn excited to the point of restlessness; compared to the mech brawl, Si Ke Te being utterly socially dead is obviously more interesting.

He's had enough of learning pig calls and dog barks; his psychological threshold has risen considerably through subtle influence, and he's quite curious what a company officer usually watches at home.

Several... T? Study materials? What is that? Huihui looked at Zhēn doubtfully.

Never mind, it's nothing, but if you see something embarrassing later, don't blink.

Zhēn, you seem quite familiar with these—could it be some forbidden... books, knowledge?! Dakinis blushed, covering her face; just imagining it made her legs involuntarily rub and twist.

Pretty much? Anyway, once these data are exposed... hehe, he estimates he'll become famous within the company.

——

San Yue Qi Xiaojie, what are our terms? Silver Wolf suddenly asked.

Si Ke Te, you must immediately apologize to the little boss lady of Nevernight Hou, loudly saying 'Company mechs, pig heads only,' then print that phrase on every mech aboard the transport ship, and also learn to oink.

Silver Wolf: "What's the essential difference between learning to oink and learning to bark? He's not never done it before—players are tired of it. Let's try something new... like using oinks to sing the Suerluda ad jingle?"

'Players?' Star noticed a blind spot.

Oh, I meant 'everyone,' those who play games—just slipped my tongue.

""Good good good, you're awesome… I want to apologize to the little boss lady of the Marquis of the Sleepless Night, it's my fault for causing trouble, deliberately picking fights, it's all on me!" Si Ke Te lifted his head, "Then… you guys wait for me to brew a bit… how was that lousy song sung again? I remember now.""

""Company mechs, only pigheads would want them!""

After saying that, Si Ke Te took a deep breath.

""huff huff huff huff huff, huff huff huff huff huff! huff huff huff huff huff, huff huff huff huff huff!""

The onlooking crowd stared dumbfounded at the commissioner standing at the center of the dock.

Some people even unconsciously started clapping.

""He even sang it twice. Truly dedicated service spirit.""
