Although this matter hasn't been fully settled on the Hai Si side, for the past two months Omer has only been able to hear simplified progress and battle updates from the Rhodes Island company, but his overall attitude has shifted from 'feeling like it could be settled in one month' → 'feeling like it could be settled within two months' → 'feeling like it could be settled by year-end' to —

Although I heard that the uncle of Lin Guang and Xia Guang Miss is exactly such a person, that gentleman chose to develop in his hometown, rarely having the chance to come here on vacation, and had never given Omer a shock of an otherworldly middle‑aged corporate slave Mar‑ear man—until the man with the online name Chi Jun completed the picture.

Not detached from hardware, nor from the electronic domain, it has lain deep within the federal network, but the segmentation points it releases…… those that assist it in processing information from all over the federation, also assist it in observing, verifying, gathering adjustment opportunities, gathering the segmentation points of world singularities, are not limited to the form of artificial intelligence.

=> "\"On what grounds should we create a special zone for monsters, just because the attackers in these few incidents used monsters? \""

"Those who fight monsters are also monsters themselves, aren't they? You can't just say half of it, Mr. Chi Jun." Little Omer, who had been observing the various concealed mechanisms outside the transparent corridor, looked up at him.

=> "\"Those who fight monsters are also monsters, aren't they? You can't say only half, Mr. Chi Jun. \" Xiao Aomo, who had been sizing up the various concealed mechanisms outside the transparent corridor, looked up at him."

=> "\"I also know the Boundary Gate District has plenty of talented individuals fully capable of handling monsters without relying on monster power, yet the outcomes of those several attacks have been less than satisfactory. \""

"Is this also your reliance?" The district chief of the Boundary District, a tall man with horns on his forehead, also fixed his gaze on little Omer, just as last time, bringing a feeling as if being watched by a divine presence. "If you try to specially package it as a surprise not in the email, it could actually be counterproductive, Linton."

=> "\"Is that also your reliance? \" the Boundary Gate District chief, a tall man with horns on his forehead, also fixed his gaze on Xiao Aomo, just as before giving that look of being watched with divine intensity, \"If you intend to specially package it as a surprise not in the email, that could actually be counterproductive, Lindun. \""

=> "Glancing at the notification screen that unfolded right before everyone's eyes without any privacy setting, the district chief once again waved at Aomo, Chi Jun, and Thus we output: Thus we output: QiuChuan Mingsheng."

=> "\"Good timing—the association's people are also arriving; I hope the presence of acquaintances won't hinder your performance, Lindun. \""

Acquaintance?

=> "Acquaintances?"

Does this refer to Akikawa Misei, the board chair, or is it someone from the association?

=> "Does that refer to Director Thus we output: Thus we output: QiuChuan Mingsheng, or is it someone from the association?"

"... I hope to gain more acquaintances through this meeting."
