Chapter 1409: Chapter 994: Start the Carnival (4K)

"I made you laugh, Li Changhe," the head of the military industry department said with a smile from inside the vehicle, "Ye Yi always does some childish things. Please don’t take it to heart; it easily infuriates you."

This was to tell Li Changhe not to mind Ye Yi’s provocation.

Li Changhe naturally didn’t care about Ye Yi. After all, he was a high-level figure in the giant city. Such petty matters were trivial.

And Qiu Wentian, who was beside him, joked, "Your charm is pretty big. Why are you still a leftover woman at such an age?"

"Is my charm really that great? I don’t feel it at all. It attracts nothing but idiots. It’s useless," the military industry head responded indifferently. "The person I like has never expressed any feelings towards me."

Li Changhe detected a hint of wistfulness and regret in the military industry head’s tone.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Who is it, to be so blind to good fortune? Let me beat him up for you. There’s no one in this world I can’t hit. I’ll grab him by the neck and give him a good questioning, see if his eyes are really blind."

"Exactly, exactly!" Qiu Wentian also clamored, "That guy, really does seem ungrateful!"

While people in different worlds can have diverse experiences, leading to variations in personality, their preferences generally don’t change too much.

The person that the military industry head in this world liked might also be the same person Chen Yu liked in the main world.

Holy shit, this is huge news!

After all, Chen Yu in the main world had never revealed her romantic relationships. Something that gossipy players would be very curious about.

So much so that Qiu Wentian was dying to know.

He wanted to see which lucky bastard could so carelessly embrace this charming girl.

Of course, this statement... was actually quite unreasonable, containing a lot of subjective elements from Li Changhe and Qiu Wentian.

After all, they were close to Chen Yu and couldn’t bear to see her wronged.

Meanwhile, Yun Ting in Li Changhe’s mind was experiencing an accelerated heartbeat—if she had one... anyway, she was somewhat panicked, dreading an extremely awkward scene might occur.

At this, the military industry head laughed so hard she nearly cried.

Just as she was about to speak, Chen Yu covered her mouth.

Then, Chen Yu stomped angrily on Li Changhe’s foot: "What are you gossiping about!"

"It’s not the same world; who she likes, you might not necessarily like. I was just asking..." Li Changhe grimaced in pain as his foot was stepped on, "You’re so irritable."

Chen Yu huffed lightly and then twisted the military industry head’s arm, signaling her to keep quiet.

After a couple of hums, the military industry head didn’t bring up the topic again.

"The Bottom Nest Beastmen army has still not launched a large-scale attack, but is contending for positions locally. The intensity of the battles is not high. Outside the Great Wall, sentries have also spotted a significant number of Beastmen troops. To prepare for the upcoming war, the giant city needs to initiate a wartime economy system," the military industry head changed the subject and continued, "That’s also the main reason for our meeting today. All departments need to make wartime adjustments."

"So, today, the giant city’s top brass will be gathering together," Li Changhe frowned, "What about security..."

"Outside the City Lord’s Mansion, we have three thousand fully armed elite guards. Inside the building, we have the high-ranking Royal Guards," the Different Pupil spoke from the corner of the armored vehicle.

"That’s pretty good, but in the face of Different Race players, especially assassin players, such dense numbers and complex terrain defenses could be even more dangerous," Qiu Wentian ruthlessly assessed, "Infiltration, poisoning, disguise, backstabbing. Advanced assassins can even brazenly leave through the front door after killing their target."

In response, the Different Pupil said, "To guard against this, we’ve summoned over a hundred Transcendents on emergency notice, along with numerous security technicians as support. This is the best we can do."

"Moreover, two of my colleagues are inside the City Lord’s Mansion. They are also involved in the alert and defense work," Chen Yu reminded them. By the time Li Changhe and others arrived in the giant city, Great Wall players had already started protecting the City Lord’s safety.

Li Changhe nodded slightly, then looked at the Different Pupil and said, "In case anything unexpected happens, don’t forget your promises and oaths. Protect those you need to protect."

The Different Pupil squinted slightly, his different pupils reflecting Li Changhe’s visage.

It was as if he recalled the most indifferent command issued by the Supreme King three years ago.

"It really is the same person," the Different Pupil thought to himself, casting a cursory glance over the military industry head and nodded silently.

...

Ten minutes later, in the Council Hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The department heads, along with the fleet captain Li Changhe, the eleven most powerful people in the giant city, gathered together.

The meeting commenced immediately after everyone arrived.

The main discussion points were as follows.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs intervened in the market, reducing civilian production, and increasing taxes.

This was to reallocate resources to the military industry, which was to enhance military production.

Thereby mobilizing the half a million reserve soldiers of the defense forces.

Under the current circumstances, resources were being concentrated. The giant city was about to bare its terrifying fangs.

Nearly a million soldiers, over two thousand Transcendents.

Following the discussion of numerous high-level officials, orders were issued by the Border King.

When the topic of deploying the Eternal Army was brought up, all the officials fell silent for a moment.
