Chapter 303: Change

. la

However, this massive harvest still kept Sun Cheng excited for an entire night, to the point that after his consciousness left the space, he tossed and turned in bed until dawn without a shred of sleepiness.

"... Coo-coo-coo..."

When the crisp sound of a rooster crowing came from outside the window, he still didn't feel a hint of sleepiness, so he simply turned off the air conditioner, climbed out of bed, and after a quick wash, changed his clothes and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

Ever since she became a streamer, Ye Qi had developed the habit of sleeping in; she rarely got up before ten in the morning, and sometimes she would even sleep until one or two in the afternoon.

After casually eating something at a shop nearby that he frequented, he felt much more energetic once his stomach was full.

Because he still didn't have a shred of sleepiness, he simply packed a breakfast to bring back and put in the refrigerator, so that after Ye Qi woke up, she could warm it up in the microwave and enjoy it.

Yet unexpectedly, just as he pulled out his key to unlock the door and pushed it open, Sun Cheng heard the sound of a knife cutting on a cutting board coming from the kitchen.

He couldn't help but walk over to take a look inside, and it was actually Ye Qi busy in the kitchen.

"Sis, why are you up so early today?"

He asked with some surprise, and Sun Cheng weighed the breakfast he had bought for her in his hand: "Are you hungry? Don't cook, I brought a portion back for you!"

"Thanks..."

Ye Qi gave him a faint smile, took the breakfast he brought back from Sun Cheng's hand, and placed it on the cutting board to the side, her hands not stopping.

"Our gathering is scheduled for these next two days, and we might also arrange to go around Nandu to look and play. I almost forgot to tell you, I might be staying out at night for these two days!"

Sun Cheng's brows furrowed imperceptibly, but it dissipated quickly, not letting her see it.

Ye Qi also had her own circle of friends, and there were a few female streamers she was close with developing in Nandu; he wasn't worried about that.

It was rather that he also realized that after the activities of these two days ended, this woman he had been secretly in love with for many years would probably leave him again and return to Shencheng.

This made him very unhappy!

"No, I can't keep hiding my feelings like this anymore!"

Deep in the depths of his eyes, a belief called determination was gradually growing stronger.

This monster called "the secular world" was far more powerful than anyone imagined.

Even Sun Cheng himself, clearly knowing that he and Ye Qi had no blood relationship, still delayed taking that step because of his concern for secular eyes, failing to boldly reveal his true feelings in front of the woman he loved.

"Now, it is time to make a change!"

Once he thought of this, Sun Cheng quickly made a decision.

He took a step forward, leaned in closer, and said with a smile: "I understand, you should also watch out for your safety!"

"Mm!"

Ye Qi nodded, "I'm planning to cook some cured meat porridge. You've already eaten breakfast, right? Drink a little more porridge before you go to the company!"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Sun Cheng, who was standing to the side. Suddenly, she, being observant, seemed to have discovered something and looked him up and down with some confusion, "Eh, did you put on makeup? Why does it feel like something is different..."

Sun Cheng was stunned, but immediately reacted, smiling slightly without answering.

If this dull woman could really perceive his feelings for her and break his hopes early, he wouldn't have been suffering in unrequited love for so many years.

It could only be said that they were family who had lived together day and night for over a decade, but the difference she noticed probably referred to something else.

Last night, verifying that the mysterious space within his body could replenish energy by absorbing High-purity Energy Liquid, this discovery finally allowed Sun Cheng to stop worrying and being terrified about when the space's energy would run out.

The energy consumed by the Spherical Space could be replenished, which meant that Sun Cheng could travel between the two worlds more frequently, and even utilize the storage function of the Spherical Space to send large amounts of classified supplies and equipment anywhere without anyone knowing.

If he had the need, he could even bring an army of fully armed Combat Robots with him anytime and anywhere to be at his beck and call.

After realizing these things, Sun Cheng's spirit and energy were completely different. A powerful confidence radiating from his bones made him finally look a little less like the calculating person who had to tread carefully in the other world, and a bit more like the sharp, burgeoning edge that someone of his age should have!

Even if it was just a subtle change, someone not familiar with him probably wouldn't notice, but Ye Qi's relationship with him was not ordinary, and she actually managed to spot a point or two of the anomaly.

He himself hadn't noticed the changes in his own body as early as others had.

Because he didn't know what exactly Ye Qi had noticed, Sun Cheng pondered for a moment and simply deployed the "topic-shifting technique."

"Sis, you've been busy gathering with friends since you came to Nandu, and I haven't been able to find time to accompany you because the company is newly founded. How about this, after your gathering with friends ends, stay in Nandu for two more days, and I'll take you to look around my company!"

He was playing a trick; Ye Qi was a woman with a strong sense of purpose, and even if she came out to play, she wouldn't delay her work for too long, so there was almost no chance of keeping her directly.

However, if he only kept her for a day or two, there was still a high probability of success.

Sure enough, as soon as Sun Cheng spoke, Ye Qi put the finely diced ham into the washed rice pot and agreed directly, "Alright, but I can only stay one more day before I have to go back!"..

"Mm!"

Having persuaded her to stay one more day, Sun Cheng, who had already eaten breakfast, didn't stay to eat another portion with her and soon left the apartment, driving toward the company.

Unluckily encountering a traffic jam on the road, by the time Sun Cheng arrived at the company, Wang Lu had already arrived a step ahead of him. When Sun Cheng entered, he was standing in the lobby with a few employees who had arrived early, chatting and laughing about something.

Walking closer, Sun Cheng then heard his little junior, Yang Fei, shouting excitedly with his back to him.

"... As expected of our China's Nuclear Weapon General, it's truly damn satisfying. The Russians want to stir up trouble in Central Asia; does our China really fear them? If you ask me, we should have sent troops to strike directly into Kazakhstan. What kind of place is Central Asia? It's the center of world geopolitics. Our China has painstakingly managed it for over half a century to have the current situation; how can we let a coup destroy it just like that!"

"Everyone is here so early, what are you all chatting about..."

Sun Cheng hadn't heard the whole thing, and after walking closer, he couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"General Manager Sun..."

"General Manager Sun, you're here..."

As soon as Sun Cheng's voice rang out, even Yang Fei, who had just been bragging, couldn't help but shiver, hurriedly turning around with a somewhat awkward expression.

Like other students currently studying at Nanjing University of Technology, although they were specially hired by Sun Cheng to join Cybertron, they were ultimately still college students, and their technical skills had a clear gap compared to the technical personnel recruited by Cybertron.

Yet, under Sun Cheng's care, although their salaries were lower than the formal employees, they weren't actually that far off.

Yang Fei and the others clearly understood that they were the "horse bones" Sun Cheng had bought with heavy gold, not for anything else, but to attract more "intelligence monsters" from Nanjing University of Technology like Lu Nan, who truly had ideas, talent, ambition, and ability, to join Cybertron.

After understanding this point, even Yang Fei, who had a somewhat careless personality, couldn't help but have a bit more awe for this senior of his in front of him.

"Sit, keep chatting, it's not work time yet... Come, tell me too, what were you all chatting about just now, so happily..."

Seeing everyone turn their gaze toward him, Yang Fei scratched his head; after all, young people couldn't keep things to themselves, and he immediately spilled out what they had been chatting about just now, beaming with excitement.

"General Manager Sun, we were just chatting about the Western Regions... You haven't seen today's news yet, right? Just around nine o'clock last night, the Kazakhstan army sent troops to approach Almaty. After repeated warnings from Almaty, Western Regions Governor General Cheng Shitao ordered fire, directly destroying a mechanized brigade of the invading Kazakhstan army that attempted to violate our border. I heard our army has already crossed the border..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng's eyes immediately widened.
