Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment, "Rafushini's identity is a problem, but as long as she doesn't say it, everyone will think she is Vaifan... I will ask the Melander Foundation to get her a fake identity."

"I mean, will the higher-ups know about this?"

"The Tin Man from the Melander Foundation might know." Xia Yuan said calmly, "For a race as ancient as his, no matter what happens on this land, it is difficult for him to escape his attention."

"Rafushini, I plan to arrange for her to study in a military academy, where she will be able to access the power and knowledge she wants. This is also Rafushini's original intention."

Ravshini's identity is indeed a problem. When she suddenly appeared in Colombia, Victoria's identity was sensitive, and she might be approached and used by various people with ulterior motives. Colombia and Victoria have a bad relationship, and there are constant fights. If the Colombian officials knew about Ravshini's identity, she would get into trouble.

Can hiding be hidden from those Colombian agents? Xia Yuan didn't know the result.

After learning about the situation and current situation, Kanelian was slightly surprised. She looked at Xia Yuan with her red eyes, "You...really brought back an incredible person."

"Please note that I did not kidnap you." Xia Yuan clarified, "The mace can testify that Lavshini came here on her own initiative. I did not kidnap her."

"But boss, you are indeed Lavshini's teacher. You can't deny that, right?" Mace said with a smile.

"..."

Xia Yuan frowned and coughed twice, "I will discuss this matter with Lavshini, and try not to expose my identity in a foreign country."

"As for Fester and Hart, they will join Rhine Life, but in the future they may continue to follow me like Snow Pheasant."

"Are you finally going to create your own power, boss?"

Mace crossed his legs and asked casually, "Have you thought of a name? Do you want me and Kanelian to give you some advice?"

"I'm also planning to recruit some new partners. I wonder if you understand me. After all, to start a company in Terra, you need some powerful partners."

Do you understand the value of the three of us?

"Okay, this is the current situation... I will go to Ursus in mid-August, and the schedule will be about a month and a half. After that, I will return to Lateran to spend the New Year." Xia Yuan talked about his future plans before leaving home. "I will bring Carnellian with me when I go to Ursus this time. You should have a good rest during this time and be Senomi's coach. If Rafushini wants to practice with you, you can accompany her... You can leave for Lateran at the end of November, and we will meet there."

"Aren't you going to take Senomi and the others with you?" Kanelian was immediately excited when she heard that she could finally move her hands and feet, and she grinned fiercely. Although she had not been idle during this period, and there were not as many crises in Tremon as when she was traveling, she had an excellent opponent for a fight, Saria.

The fight between the two of them was not an attack of one punch after another, but Saria wanted to train her defense, so she asked Kanelian to use the Originium technique to hit her shield crazily!

Carnellian was relieving stress while practicing his Originium skills, which was great. Saria was also practicing her calcification, which was also very comfortable. This was clearly a win-win situation for both parties.

"It's too dangerous to bring children to a place like Ursus." Xia Yuan frowned slightly. "I'm not discriminating against the infected by saying this, but I don't want any of Senomi and the others to get infected with mineral disease. It will limit their future."

"I understand, boss."

After explaining the plan, Xia Yuan left home.

He arranged for Lafishini, Fester and the Hart siblings to rest in a nearby hotel. They were indeed a little tired after the long journey, and fell asleep the moment their heads touched the pillows. The Hart siblings had never slept on such a soft bed in their lives, and the two siblings squeezed into the big bed and slept in each other's arms.

All living beings on this earth suffer.

When he arrived at the door of Rhine Life, he could hardly recognize that the modern building in front of him was Rhine Life.

The exterior presents a smooth and unique architectural curve, and the bright glass curtain wall brings natural light into the interior, breaking the boundaries of traditional architecture and giving the entire institute an open and transparent atmosphere. The color of the building's exterior wall is a combination of light and dark, with modern gray, silver and emerald green. The interior space focuses on functionality and comfort, adopts an open layout and innovative office design, and provides researchers with a flexible and efficient working environment.

This construction team is quite amazing. Xia Yuan patted his head. Wow, it's only been three months since he left, and this place has changed so much? Isn't this work efficiency too fast?

Before leaving home, he changed into Rhine Life's research uniform and took Rhine Life's access card. After swiping the card to enter, he found that the hall was much more spacious. Some researchers in white research uniforms were walking in a hurry with documents in their hands. There were also several middle-aged men and women who looked like mentors, bringing a dozen students to visit the workshop nearby.

Good guy.

This is somewhat similar to the Rhine Life in its glorious past.

However, excessive investment in commercialization will also drive the various departments further and further apart. This is also the reason why the Rhine lives in the previous life did not understand each other's choices in the end. Xia Yuan was unable to stop this progress, and he could only strive to do his best.

"I'm back, busy man."

Ferdinand, who was talking to a researcher, caught a glimpse of Xia Yuan who was looking around. He nodded goodbye to her and then walked over to greet her with a slight smile on his face. "Are you surprised by the current appearance of Rhine Life?"

"Indeed there are some." Xia Yuan glanced at Ferdinand. He couldn't stop smiling and looked very proud.

Generally speaking, for a workaholic like Ferdinand, what makes him happy is not being able to get off work early and go home to see his wife tonight, nor looking forward to the weekend holiday, but what orders Rhine Life has received recently.

"Would you like me to show you around the new park?"

"Of course I can. Thank you."

The two walked towards Rhine Life, and Ferdinand began to talk about his recent work. In this regard, among the many researchers, perhaps only Christen and Xia Yuan could understand what he was talking about. The three of them studied high-energy physics at the same time, which was also related to Ferdinand's energy science, so they had a lot in common.

However, since Christen was the chief governor, Ferdinand could not meet her whenever he wanted. In this case, finding Xia Yuan to chat and share became his first choice.

"...Another order from the military has come. To be honest, I don't understand what their uncivilized minds are thinking. They actually want to stuff the new energy drive device into a simplified version of the mecha? Why don't they stuff their own brains in it?"

"We may need your help with the program. Our processor is currently too backward, which has had some impact on the laboratory statistics."

"To be honest, the construction speed is so fast thanks to Hyde Brothers. They are one of the more famous construction companies in Columbia. This time, they also reached a deal with me privately, which shortened the construction period of the laboratory expansion."

Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment, "What company?"

"Hyde Brothers is a well-known construction company." Ferdinand said nonchalantly, "The Simon family also competed this time, but they gave up the bid in the end. It may be that Hyde Brothers did something."

Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows and kept the message in mind.

The Simon family, this name made him feel somewhat familiar, or maybe in his previous life in Rhodes Island, he had seen an operator from the Simon family... Then he would just need to open his eyes and see if he could get in touch with the young master of the Simon Company.

"...If you ask me, the security force of Rhine Life is still too weak."

Ferdinand led Xia Yuan through the long corridor and sighed, "To be honest, this place should be filled with the mechas we developed... I'm not questioning what's wrong with Saria's defense department, I just think mechas are more suitable for us at Rhine Life."

"If it were me, I would fill this place with mechas."

Xia Yuan: "It's a great idea. It makes me excited."

Chapter 127: Wanxing Garden Plan

Colombia's technology companies have never been a peaceful place. Here, if your technology lags behind other companies, you will be punished. Therefore, it is common for corporate spies to sneak into other company buildings to steal business documents. This also indirectly highlights the necessity of the defense department.

At the same time, various accidents will occur when conducting experiments inside Rhine Life. This is when Saria needs to appear. Whether it is an out-of-control animal experiment or a catastrophic fire, she will give a solution in the first time and deal with it calmly.

"The Colombian military...those greedy guys have set their sights on your [prototype] drone and are determined to take it down. What do you think?"

"As long as Rhine Life can grow stronger, I will naturally take it." Xia Yuan calmly glanced at the new researchers who had joined Rhine Life and were resting and chatting in the back garden outside the window. "I have been prepared for this since I put the drone on the tour."

"You have an excellent business mind, Xia Yuan. It's not just the military that has its eyes on this drone. In fact, because of the [prototype's] excellent load-bearing capacity, many transportation companies have also placed purchase orders for this drone."

Xia Yuan nodded slightly after hearing this. "I will discuss this with Yala. This wave can at least earn half of the instruments and equipment in the laboratory, right?"

Ferdinand snorted and laughed, "You underestimated them, and you also underestimated your own invention."

He took Xia Yuan to the office area and said, "Inside is Kristen's office. I won't take you in. I have a meeting later and can't be late."

"Good luck."

"My luck has always been good." Ferdinand grinned and sneered, nodding goodbye to Xia Yuan.

At the end of the corridor was a large door that looked like it was made of high-grade alloy and had strong defensive capabilities. In addition, he also felt a subtle chill in the corridor.

Kristen... Didn't she really stuff the mecha here?

After swiping the card in front of the door, the passage in front of Xia Yuan lit up. After knocking on Christen's door, he stepped in.

"You're back."

Rhine Life General Manager, Christen Wright, had just finished reviewing a document. He looked up from his desk and smiled faintly at Xia Yuan, "What did you gain from this trip? Do you mind sharing it?"

"what about work?"

"I can do work anytime... document review affects my research progress, which I don't like."

Kristen stood up and walked across the empty room to the lounge area, which was equipped with the latest Colombian coffee machine. She turned her head and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Mocha, sweeter."

"Ah, after all, Xia Yuan is a Sakta, and likes to drink sweet things."

Xia Yuan came to Kristen's side, and they both looked up at the sky while making coffee. The sky in Tremont was gray-blue today, without any clouds, and it seemed that the stars could be seen from this angle.

"Xia Yuan, I need you to help me."

Xia Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, he turned and looked at Kristen, and found that her eyes were not indifferent in a business-like manner, nor were they a private request, but more like... a friend's confession.

"I can help you with anything I can do."

"I knew you would agree." Kristen's lips curled up slightly. She returned to her desk, took out a stack of documents from the drawer, and handed them to Xia Yuan.

"This is... high-energy physics engine, curve acceleration material, Wanxingyuan Project..."

Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at Christen who was smiling indifferently in front of him.

The words he wanted to say turned into silence and a sigh. He turned his eyes away and said, "You didn't tell Saria."

"...You know?"

"No, if you tell Saria, you won't be the only one sitting here to discuss with me." Xia Yuan said softly.

Have we finally come to this step? This step towards the starry sea seems to have been built a lot earlier because of me. However, considering that the existing technology cannot support construction and design, the time for Wanxing Garden to launch should not be much different from that in the previous life.

Kristen is not alone, because Xia Yuan stands by her side in this life.

"You know, if Saria knew about this, she would definitely be angry." Xia Yuan smiled, "Saria looks scary when she's angry, and I don't want to get beaten."

"Then we two can just plead for mercy in front of her. Saria will definitely not beat us."

Kristen smiled happily, her eyes shining like the stars in the sky, "So, Xia Yuan, can you help me?"

"Of course, I told you that you wouldn't be a loner."

Xia Yuan took the document and began to look through it one by one. It contained the patent Christen had recently applied for, as well as the scale and plan of Wanxing Garden.

These are just things on paper, and Xia Yuan needs to arrange them. His job is to create a Wanxing Garden for Christen. As for what is put inside and how the energy works, Christen will be in charge of it.

"Does Muir Seth know?"

“She knows.”

Kristen smiled softly, and she looked back from the sky to Xia Yuan, "She said you would definitely agree. It reminded me of the hero and heroine in the movie I watched with Saria recently, and how they were so in tune with each other."

"The same should be true for you and Saria."

"She...will stop me."

"Then you should know how she felt when she took off, right?"

"..."

Christen turned her back and said, "The coffee is getting cold. Drink it quickly. If you need anything, just call me directly. By the way, your office has been moved, but the documents inside are still intact."

Seeing that she avoided the question, Xia Yuan didn't have any thoughts. After all, Saria would eventually know about this matter, but the ending this time should be slightly different from the previous life.

After leaving the general office, Xia Yuan followed the instructions of the small map and came to the Mechanical Power Department. When he left, there were several basic researchers in the Mechanical Power Department. Their academic qualifications were higher than Xue Zhi's, and they were all graduate students. However, they came in later than Xue Zhi and their qualifications were not as high as hers. Xia Yuan met them in the studio and found that they were developing the module of the human robotic arm by themselves - it was a not-too-small order. Although he had ready-made drawings here, there was no point in training them by doing so.

The Melander Foundation sent the materials he needed to Rhine Life, and he could start hammering on the pistol [Lumen].

As for Kristen's file, he put it aside and would look at it later. With his secondary career as a high-energy physicist and mechanical dynamicist, he was not afraid of not being able to understand the contents of the file. After accumulating experience, he could begin to gradually deduce the drawing. It would take a huge amount of time, but Kristen had plenty of time and patience.

However, compared to Christen's plan to go to space, the most important issue now is Mostima's guardian gun.

This guardian gun will accompany her throughout her life, so Xia Yuan naturally needs to craft it with care.

He thought of Mostima, the girl who had shown extraordinary maturity in the church school, like a little adult. Her attitude towards things was always calm and nonchalant, reminding people of clear running water, transparent without any emotion of her own, making it impossible to see through her.

Even the empathy that Xia Yuan realized belatedly could only detect a calm emotion in the other person, as if she was not ecstatic or furious, and strong emotions did not exist from the beginning.

Originally, they should have become two parallel lines with no intersection in the future, but because of the communication and companionship in the church school, their relationship improved rapidly at an amazing speed.

“What a wonderful person.”

Xia Yuan muttered to himself, maybe because he was a player in his previous life, his sense of empathy was a little dull. He only felt calmness and serenity from Mostima. She just stood quietly in the distance, looking at this place with an adult smile.

But she is indeed almost an adult, as she will hold her coming of age ceremony at the end of this year.

The materials needed to make the Lumen Pistol are not very high, because this pistol is, after all, a firearm from the late 2.0 period, and it will not make it too difficult for players in terms of materials... However, Xia Yuan used the highest-level materials that were difficult to obtain even in the 3.0 period.

In his previous life, when he was working at Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals, he had only seen a few copies on the pre-order form, and the zeros after the price made him feel dizzy.

It is no exaggeration to say that he thinks these materials should only be available at the end of 4.0.

After praising three versions in a row to obtain the materials, Xia Yuan still had a problem as to how to process them, as his craftsman level was not high enough. However, when he placed an order with the Melander Foundation, he spent a little more money to ask them to provide processed materials. Although he spent a little more on processing fees, he was able to use them after all.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan remembered that he had not yet accepted the gunsmith's mission. He glanced at the panel and clicked to accept the promotion mission.
