Chapter 606: Luonan: Captain Dragonfly Makes His Entrance!

Since obtaining Orpheus's blood, Li Ang had begun developing 【Read-Back】, but progress had been painfully slow for a long time.

Fortunately, he finally succeeded—and at this most critical moment.

Though he had been enduring the strain of his shadow clones the entire time, Li Ang still couldn't help thinking:

'No wonder it's me!'

But after briefly reviewing the information sent by the shadow clone, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

The research had succeeded, but there were still many areas needing improvement.

For instance, the ability could not be used repeatedly in quick succession; each 【Read-Back】 required a new save.

The shadow clones had tried saving multiple times, but all attempts ended in failure.

The reason was simple: if more than two save points existed during a 【Read-Back】, a split would occur.

Literal, physical splitting.

To fix this flaw required further research—there was no time for it now.

But regardless, 【Read-Back】 had undeniably greatly increased Li Ang's margin for error, giving him more room to maneuver in life-threatening situations.

Thinking of this, Li Ang looked at the tall figure in the distance, his gaze flickering slightly.

Just as he was pondering his next move, Lao Wu's slightly hoarse voice crackled from the robot: "Lawsen, why are you doing this? Hasn't the corporation treated you well all these years?"

The middle-aged man couldn't understand: within 【Giant God Heavy Industry】, the man was already among the upper-middle management—he had no reason whatsoever to do something like this.

If he wanted to break through the Seventh Level, he could simply request resources from the corporation.

After evaluation, if he met promotion criteria, the corporation would provide all necessary resources for reassignment.

Even if he failed, the corporation would assign him a retirement post—so logically, following the corporation's plan was clearly the best choice.

Yet facing the question, Lawsen's expression remained utterly unmoved.

Before he could speak, Rad sneered: "Do you know how much he lost in stocks? That's a hole he couldn't fill even if he worked a hundred years without eating or sleeping."

"."

At this, the scene fell utterly silent.

To push a Sixth Level professional to the brink—that much loss? And this was a Sixth Level professional from a galactic megacorp.

For some reason, Li Ang suddenly thought of Ding Xie.

After all, losing that much in stocks meant he'd leveraged up—extremely, absurdly high leverage.

If that's the case, either the 【Giant God Heavy Industry】 shipment never existed to begin with, or it's already been seized by that guy over there.

'No wonder the mission required us to investigate secretly—they didn't want this to blow up.'

As this thought flashed through his mind, Li Ang subtly narrowed his eyes.

At that moment, Rad sighed wearily: "I'm leaving this to you then—that kid's just too weird."

"But it's only because I'm still injured—if I were fully healed, these ants wouldn't dare chatter in front of me."

Saying this, he glanced at Li Ang, who stood on guard, and added warningly: "Watch your step later—don't damage the materials I've reserved."

". Understood."

Lawsen's tone was calm, as if agreeing to something utterly ordinary.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, Li Ang suddenly felt a slight vibration from his comm device.

{I'll blow myself up with Director Xiao Pan to block that bastard—you find a way to get Sophiea and Ilis out. }

It was Lao Wu.

Worried Li Ang would refuse, he quickly added:

{You're the strongest among us—you're the only one with a chance to escape. }

{Don't worry about me and Director Xiao Pan—we have other ways to survive. }

Li Ang didn't know if Lao Wu was just comforting him.
