Chapter 8: New Tactics

At this moment, Ye Cang did not yet know that Du Kaao had already brought Du Qiangwei to Beizhixing, and even less did he know that Di Leina had also set her sights on him.

Right now, Ye Cang was busy arguing with the system.

"System, I asked you to find me a weapon that can destroy the Universe, one that I can actually build—is that so hard?"

"Look at these: Dual-Vector Foil, Dead Line, Ripper—are these things something I can make?!"

【Heh, you need to look for the cause within yourself! Think about whether you've been working hard all these years, whether you've been studying properly. Are those things difficult? Not difficult at all! If you're bad, just practice more!】

Ye Cang:...

Mentally exhausted; the system was better off when it couldn't talk.

Now that it could talk, not only did it not help, but it also made him half-dead with anger.

Hmph!

Time to go eat!

After the meal and a short rest, Ye Cang began to think about the weapon to destroy the Universe again.

For Huaxia, a weapon to destroy the Universe was just like the nuclear weapons of that era; its deterrent value outweighed its practical use, and it was absolutely indispensable.

However, what gave him a headache was that there had been no progress at all for an entire week!

With absolutely no progress, Ye Cang began searching through the system again. Although he couldn't build the weapons in the system that could destroy the Universe, looking at them more might provide some inspiration.

Just as Ye Cang was looking intently, a knock on the door sounded, startling him.

"What is it?" Ye Cang asked.

The person outside replied: "Chief Engineer Ye, Ms. Du Qiangwei from the Super Soldier Company wishes to see you."

Hearing the three words "Du Qiangwei" made Ye Cang raise an eyebrow.

Why was she here to see him?

Oh, look at his memory; Du Qiangwei was Du Kaao's daughter. What else could she be here for? It was most likely at Du Kaao's behest.

After thinking it over, Ye Cang decided to meet Du Qiangwei; he wanted to see what she had to say.

Ye Cang immediately got up and headed straight for the reception room.

Meanwhile, in the reception room.

Two people were sitting there: one was Du Qiangwei, and the other was A Jie.

Yes, Du Qiangwei had not come alone.

"Why did you make me come? I'm really not good at this kind of thing!" Du Qiangwei sat there, saying with some helplessness.

Beside her, A Jie smiled after hearing this.

"It's fine, Qiangwei. Just leave this to me, just like before. You just sit there."

"I've read Ye Cang's file; he's just a college student. Dealing with this kind of college student couldn't be simpler, at most a bit more troublesome than Ge Xiaolun."

At the mention of Ge Xiaolun, Du Qiangwei couldn't help but think of the day she recruited Ge Xiaolun to join the Super Soldier Company.

That kid kept staring at her; she hoped this Ye Cang wouldn't be like that.

Just as Du Qiangwei was thinking this, the door to the reception room pushed open.

Du Qiangwei subconsciously looked up and saw a man with delicate features, wearing glasses, and a somewhat thin build standing at the door.

At this moment, the man's brows were tightly furrowed, looking as if he had encountered some troublesome matter.

Seeing this, A Jie immediately stepped forward and extended his hand toward the man.

"Hello, you must be Ye Cang, right? My name is A Jie, and this beside me is Du Qiangwei. We are here representing the Super Soldier Company."

A Jie's words brought Ye Cang back to his senses. Looking at A Jie in front of him, Ye Cang raised an eyebrow.

The great swindler A Jie? He had come along too.

If that was the case, he pretty much understood Du Kaao's ploy this time.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang shook hands with A Jie.

"Hello, I am Ye Cang." After saying this, Ye Cang sat down directly.

Then he got straight to the point.

"Excuse me, you two, my time is a bit tight. Let's speak plainly so we don't waste each other's time."

Upon hearing this, A Jie immediately sat up straight.

"Since Comrade Ye Cang has said so, I won't beat around the bush."

"I have only one purpose for coming here, and that is to invite you to join the Super Soldier Company!"

"The Super Soldier Company needs talent like you!"

Although Ye Cang had already guessed their purpose, hearing A Jie say this, Ye Cang still almost laughed out loud, but fortunately, he held it in.

Forcing back his laughter, Ye Cang said: "So that's how it is. Please allow me to refuse. I don't have any superpowers; I'm just an ordinary person, so I can't join the Super Soldier Company."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

After speaking, Ye Cang deliberately stood up and made a gesture as if to leave.

Beside him, Du Qiangwei couldn't help but cover her forehead.

This was what they called reading Ye Cang's file?

The man was now the Chief Engineer of the Nantianmen Project; his status was no lower than her father's. Why would he want to join the Super Soldier Company!

Speechless!

And A Jie also realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly tried to keep Ye Cang.

"Cough, cough, cough, Comrade Ye Cang, it's my fault for not explaining things clearly. Come, let's sit down and talk in detail."

Ye Cang sat back down, giving them some face.

A Jie said again: "Comrade Ye Cang, although you are very excellent, you don't understand what kind of enemies Earth is facing. They are all from outer space."

"Their technology is several eras ahead of Earth's; the only ones who can deal with them are the Super Soldier Company."

"Look at the person beside me, this is Qiangwei of the Black Cleaver, she is very formidable."

After speaking, A Jie signaled for Du Qiangwei to demonstrate her ability.

Du Qiangwei nodded, then performed a display of Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology for Ye Cang.

After Du Qiangwei finished her demonstration, A Jie said again: "Did you see that? This is called Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology! Qiangwei can not only transport objects, she can also transport herself."

"If Qiangwei were to assassinate you, do you think your Nantianmen Project would be a match for her?"

"What's more, there are aliens out there with abilities similar to hers!"

While saying these words, A Jie's confidence was clearly much greater than before.

Not giving Ye Cang a chance to speak, A Jie added: "I believe you have realized the gap by now."

"Although you don't have superpowers, you are very intelligent; you could join the Black Cleaver's logistics and technology department!"

"The technology department is no ordinary place; it contains many technologies that surpass your Nantianmen Project!"

"Also, let me tell you a secret: the technology department has two great beauties, one is named Lianfeng, and the other is named Yu Qin. I wouldn't mind if you fell in love with either of them~"

"Think about it, joining the Black Cleaver to protect your home and country, fighting for love—isn't that romantic!"

By the time he finished speaking, A Jie was already wearing a smile of certain victory.

But Du Qiangwei, standing to the side, had thoughts completely opposite to A Jie's; the matter of getting Ye Cang to join the Black Cleaver might be falling apart.

Du Qiangwei couldn't even say for sure why she had this thought.

If she had to give a reason, it might be because of Ye Cang's gaze, which had been as calm as water from beginning to end, without the slightest change.

Of course, it wasn't a dead-fish gaze; it was just a gaze as calm as water.

The more Du Qiangwei looked, the more curious she became, until in the end, she was staring at him without any attempt to hide it.

Judging by her posture, it was as if she wanted to see through to Ye Cang's heart with her eyes.

Ye Cang naturally noticed Du Qiangwei's gaze.

This made Ye Cang feel a bit panicked; could it be that he had been taken a fancy to again?!
