Chapter 390: 386: Special Attack Group Zero Team
As the patent holder of the Quad-core, the exclusive spokesperson for the Wuhou Corporation, the future dean of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, and a representative of the new generation known for their talent and wealth.
Purchasing three Star Core energy systems was not surprising.
Again, he was being showy. The Star-Core energy system, which only the Thirteenth Bureau has the privilege to sell, is a high-end energy system that only universities with a Mechanical Engineering Department have the right to purchase, just one step behind the Planetary Energy system used by Snare.
Even though Bai Qi was in the limelight right now, he couldn’t just buy them easily.
Well, Bai Qi was Professor Chu’s favorite student, after all. He could help him make the purchase through the Star Mechanics Academy.
Not long after Bai Qi placed the order, a shop assistant came over and asked, “Excuse me, Mr. Bai Qi, would you like to take it now?”
Bai Qi nodded. Schuck and Yu had already designed the renovation plan for the New Secret World. The base was being moved, just waiting for the new energy systems and materials to arrive.
“The item you ordered is a bit big, please follow me.”
The shop assistant turned around, gesturing Bai Qi to follow him, but Professor Li seemed a bit confused.
Was his intelligence outdated? Could these Star-Core energy systems be bought freely now?
“Excuse me, I want to replace the energy system I just bought with the Star-Core system, is that possible?”
Seeing this, Professor Li hurriedly caught up with the shop assistant, planning to modify the order.
“I’m sorry, Professor Li, the permission to purchase the Star-Core system is rather high, you cannot buy it at the moment.”
The shop assistant gave an apologetic smile to Professor Li and continued leading Bai Qi towards the warehouse.
“I don’t have enough permission?”
Professor Li was suddenly petrified, looking at Bai Qi who had already bought three systems and was prepared to collect them, he suddenly felt an immense exhaustion.
He began to wonder, should he consider retiring early?
Just as the shop assistant said, the volume of the Star-Core energy system was indeed quite large. In comparison, the Catastrophe-level energy system Bai Qi previously used seemed a bit small.
“Really, the Thirteenth Bureau is indeed the pinnacle of the Federation Machinery Department.”
Bai Qi felt a bit envious as he followed the shop assistant to a Star-Core energy system.
“Mr. Bai Qi, this Star-Core system has passed quality inspection and you can use it with ease. However, this system is rather large. Do we need to send someone to help you transport and install it?”
The shop assistant was very respectful of Bai Qi, perfectly displaying the principle that the customer is God.
“No need, I’ll take it myself.”
Bai Qi walked up to the Star-Core system, touched his black ring lightly against the system, and the enormous Star-Core system disappeared instantly.
At this sight, the shop assistant was momentarily stunned, but soon understood. With Bai Qi, they managed to store the other two systems as well.
“Mr. Bai Qi, Director Wang specially instructed that you have the purchase rights of a Special Attack Group member in the logistic department. You can tell me directly what you need, and I can help you place the orders.”
“Hmm? It works like that?”
Bai Qi took the electronic board handed by the shop assistant, his eyes lighting up as he saw the array of materials.
“Can I really buy everything?”
“Yes.”
The shop assistant nodded, ready to recommend some items to Bai Qi, when he saw Bai Qi furiously operating on the electronic board, seemingly about to clear out the entire inventory.
“Well, Mr. Bai Qi, even though Special Attack Group members can loan in the logistics department, you have already purchased three Star-Core energy systems. I fear you might …”
Before the shop assistant could finish, they received a notification of a new order being paid for. The order was surprisingly made by Bai Qi.
“This…”
Looking at the unit and digit in front of the payment completed in the order, even the shop assistant who was experienced in handling significant figures in the logistics department couldn’t keep from being startled.
Is this the wealth that the Quad-core represents!
“That should be about it.”
Bai Qi took a look at the list prepared by Schuck, confirmed that there were no mistakes, and returned the electronic board to the shop assistant, asking, “So, can we go and collect the goods now?”
The shop assistant was silent as he looked at the order on the electronic board. After a long while, he replied, “Sorry, Mr. Bai Qi, the quantity of goods you purchased is quite large. I need some time to prepare. Could you please wait for a moment? I will contact you when everything is ready.”
“Hmm, no problem.”
Bai Qi nodded. He knew the horrifying quantity of goods he had bought. He didn’t have to say anything, the sudden reduction in his Federation card’s balance was proof enough.
But money was made to be spent. Otherwise, it’s just a number.
Suddenly, Bai Qi remembered quotes from a few BB’s, finding them quite reasonable.
“Have you finished shopping?”
At this time, Li Xusheng also arrived at the pick-up area. Seeing Bai Qi, who was indulging in self-admiration, his gaze turned peculiar.
He was actually defeated by this guy. He couldn’t accept it.
“I’m done, but I’m waiting for my goods.”
When Bai Qi saw Li Xusheng, he asked, “What about you? Are we setting off?”
Li Xusheng shook his head and said, “Not yet, those guys are rarely punctual.”
“Those guys? Are they the ones going to Eden with us this time?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood and was suddenly interested.
Eden, the place where Federation Guardians live. It’s mostly populated by legendary creatures who, even after the death of their Beast Master, were still willing to protect the Federation. They were the main force enabling the Federation to stand against the tribes.
The task assigned to Bai Qi and the others this time was actually an invitation to attend a grand event at Eden from its owner.
According to Yi Yu, those who could participate in this Eden’s grand event were historically limited to the Thirteenth Bureau and a few families from the Western Region. The association, despite its long history, had never received an invitation.
This time, he was the exception.
“Hmm.”
Li Xusheng nodded, his expression suddenly changed, and he stomped on the ground. Bai Qi, sensing something, immediately vacated the spot.
“Ah, Xusheng, your reactions are still so fast. Another ambush has failed.”
Within Bai Qi’s baffled gaze, a exaggeratedly smiling baby-face emerged from the ground. Looking at Li Xusheng’s foot passing by him, he couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark.
“We’re not that familiar, don’t call me that directly, Senior Wang Chuan.”
Li Xusheng snorted coldly, turned away, and ignored Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan seemed to be used to this, still smiling, and immediately crawled up from the ground.
As soon as he emerged, Bai Qi felt embarrassed.
“Cough cough, um, you dropped your clothes.”
Bai Qi pointed to the scattered clothes under Wang Chuan’s feet and politely reminded him.
“Ah, I failed to control it again.”
Seeing the situation, Wang Chuan hastily dressed himself, then expressed gratitude to Bai Qi with a thankful smile.
“I’m sorry, my talent is Penetration, which allows me to pass through any physical material. But if I don’t control it well, I easily end up allowing my clothes to penetrate as well. Disrespectful.”
Penetration Talent? Similar to Bai Yuxiao’s Dematerialization?
So that’s how he suddenly came out from the ground, by using this penetration talent?
This was a godly skill in fighting.
Looking at Wang Chuan who was laughing at himself, Bai Qi suddenly felt that Gamma’s Divine Blessing wasn’t so tempting.
“Wang Chuan, don’t make such a fuss, it’s noisy.”
Just then, four figures appeared and walked from a distance, wearing the same outfit as Wang Chuan.
That is, the uniform of the Special Attack Group?
Due to Wang Chuan’s exaggerated character, Bai Qi didn’t immediately recognize that they were wearing the same Special Attack Group uniform.
He had seen the Special Attack Groups 1234, but these people weren’t familiar?
In Bai Qi’s doubting gaze, the four also stood before them.
“Wang Chuan, if you talk about your talent so casually again next time, I’ll consider proposing your removal from the Zero Team to the Minister.”
A solemn young man glared at Wang Chuan, then turned to Bai Qi and said, “Sorry, Wang Chuan has always been very carefree. If he’s unintentionally rude, I apologize on his behalf.”
“No problem.”
Bai Qi nodded, becoming more curious about their identities.
Finally, Li Xusheng remembered his duty, pointed to the five in front of him, and said, “These five are members of the Special Attack Group Zero and will also accompany us on the mission to Eden.”
There’s also a Zero Team?
Indeed, if the Four Heavenly Kings could have five members, the Special Attack Group’s numbered start from zero was reasonable, right?
“You must be Bai Qi, right? I’ve heard a lot about you, but this is the first time meeting you in person.”
The solemn man reached out his right hand to Bai Qi and said, “Let me introduce myself, Zero Team’s leader, Tan Lang. The one who just came out from the ground is our team member, Wang Chuan.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Bai Qi shook his hand gently, and the other three also introduced themselves in turn.
“Zero Team, Mu Yu.”
“Zero Team, Ye Ge.”
“Zero Team, Jiang Lele.”
Unlike Wang Chuan, the rest did not show much interest in Bai Qi, just announced their names and remained silent. Bai Qi was also happy to have fewer interactions, not bothering to engage them further.
After all, he was just here to execute a task. If they didn’t want to engage with him, he had no need to stick his warm face onto their cold buttocks.
Moreover, when he shook hands with Tan Lang just now, the Evolution Egg seemed to shake a little?
Seeing this, Tan Lang’s brows furrowed briefly, explaining, “They don’t usually like to socialize, so… ”
Bai Qi shrugged. It wasn’t a big deal since they weren’t really acquainted in the first place.
Tan Lang checked his time and said, “Minister Yi just messaged me, asking all of us to go directly to the Starry Sky Gate and wait for him after your rendezvous with us. If there’s nothing else, let’s set off.”
“Sorry, I bought something and haven’t picked it up yet. It’s going to delay us a bit.”
Bai Qi said.
Tan Lang shook his head and said, “Just a reminder. Do you need me to take you to the warehouse directly?”
“No need, they should have prepared it already.”
Bai Qi pointed to the shop assistant who was running not far away, declining Tan Lang’s kind offer.
Although Tan Lang was very courteous, he felt like a puppet on strings: insincere and calculated.
Clearly, his courteous behavior was merely a façade.
In comparison, Li Xusheng was more likeable.
