Chapter 616: Chapter 515: Division of Labor

"We need to divide our tasks."

In the command center, Shang Siteng spoke.

As she was speaking, a simple virtual light screen appeared in front of everyone.

That’s right, Bob managed to get this thing working again.

He seems to have an obsession with virtual light screens.

"We currently have several urgent matters to address."

"One is the collection of Dream Gathering Pearls. According to the analysis, they must be generated by those with strong desires, with the Mutant’s strength at least Tier Eight."

"Additionally, there’s the matter of the Reverse Tower. Its efficiency and radiation range need further upgrading, and the Celestial Net’s reinstallation in the dream realm must continue."

"Finally, there’s the rescue mission. I’ve made a preliminary estimate that, to rescue and restore all the citizens of Great Xia affected by the Dream Realm, we need to build at least two hundred Reverse Towers and produce two hundred corresponding Dream Gathering Pearls."

With the step-by-step analysis from the Celestial Net AI Bob, the current issues were gradually broken down and clearly organized.

Shang Siteng added, "If the efficiency and radiation range of the Reverse Towers can be further enhanced, the number of Reverse Towers and Dream Gathering Pearls required can be further reduced."

"But the number needs to be at least one hundred; it can’t go any lower."

"Three days, our timeline is still very tight!"

On the virtual light screen, Bob had already listed out the contents of the next plan.

"I will primarily handle the reconstruction of the Celestial Net and the recovery of the Intelligent Mechanic Factory and the Star Iron Express. This is expected to take thirty hours."

Thirty hours, which means by the next day evening, it’s the utmost limit given by Bob.

Fortunately, due to the overall shutdown of the Celestial Net, now its AI’s efficiency can be fully dedicated, which is why Bob dares to compress the timeline so tightly.

"Shang Siteng is in charge of further researching the Reverse Towers and Dream Gathering Pearls, and completing the construction of Reverse Towers in all regions of Great Xia within thirty hours."

Shang Siteng is the director of the Great Xia Research Institute and possesses the Heaven’s Origin Power of the Nuwa Stone.

Her creativity and research capability are not inferior to Bob, on her own, she is equivalent to ten full research and construction teams.

Thirty hours, one hundred Reverse Towers, and completing the upgrade iteration, the pressure on Shang Siteng is significant, but not entirely impossible.

Upon hearing her task, Shang Siteng nodded lightly without saying much and immediately immersed herself in a research state.

"Gongyang Jin, Jiang Lingling, Nuannuan. You are responsible for the task of collecting Dream Gathering Pearls."

Gongyang Jin is at Tier Eight Peak, combined with the innate overpowering talent ability of the Xuanyuan Sword and top-notch Sword Dao support, even facing a Tier Nine Ultimate Mutant doesn’t pressure him.

Jiang Lingling herself is at Tier Nine, and Nuannuan is a super-support who controls time and space.

With them responsible for collecting Dream Gathering Pearls, the combat pressure should not be great. The only concerns are spiritual power consumption and time.

At this point, Xia Youwei suddenly noticed that her and Li Lingzhen’s names weren’t on the virtual light screen, so she asked:

"What about us?"

"Why is there no task assigned for the two of us in the plan?"

Bob, hearing Xia Youwei’s question, looked at her and provided his explanation.

"I need you to make a trip to Donglin."

Donglin?

Xia Youwei and Li Lingzhen exchanged a glance, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

"If I recall correctly, Donglin is some distance from Julu Pass, right? What are we going there for?"

Donglin is in the Far East.

Julu Pass is in the direction of North County.

They belong to two extremes on the map of Great Xia.

"I will repair the Star Iron Express leading to Donglin before midnight tonight. You will depart immediately then."

"The destination is Donglin Fortress."

Bob stated the name of the destination.

"Donglin Fortress? Isn’t that the border area adjoining the Crimson Insect Race?"

"You mean to say..."

"That’s right." Bob confirmed their suspicions, "I suspect that the arrival of the Crimson Moon is linked to the Insect Race."

"A single Longevity Company isn’t enough to trouble Lin Jingxuan, Wei Qing, and Shang Jianyue, the three Tier Nine Ultimates."

"They chose to act at this time; they must be completely confident."

"The only thing I can think of is an alliance between the Longevity Company and the Crimson Insect Race."

At this point, he paused and looked again at Xia Youwei and Li Lingzhen.

"If this part of the speculation is true, your task will be significant."

Facing an entire Crimson Insect Race alone, the complexity can be imagined.

Faced with such a difficult task, Xia Youwei and Li Lingzhen nodded without hesitation, taking on the mission.

"It’s just, if as you say, this is a massive conspiracy by the Longevity Company and the Crimson Insect Race, wouldn’t there be other ’hidden moves’ from the Longevity Company waiting for us?"

Xia Youwei suddenly thought of this.

Little Dragon Man Bob sighed deeply.

"Indeed, you are right."

"But this plan is already the best solution, which is also why for the three-day deadline, I have reserved a day in the plan."

"On the Longevity Company’s side, we can only hope that their actions won’t be too swift and that we can complete these preliminary preparations before they make a move."

...

"Did you catch him?"

"No, he slipped into the sewers and escaped!"

"This guy, once in the sewers, it’s like he’s home, knows every corner!"

On the street, Chen Yuanshan cursed and swore.

Behind him were Shen Zheqi, who had rushed over, and a young man in a suit and tie.

The young man was holding a black briefcase and looked like a professional office worker.

"Song Wen, you’re so young, how could you run slower than me?"

Seeing the young man, Chen Yuanshan couldn’t help but tease him.

This young man was the Mutant who had previously transformed into a salted fish head.

He was also a regular customer at Chen Yuanshan’s breakfast shop.

But due to time constraints, he usually wouldn’t eat at the shop but would instead choose to take his food away.

Based on the current situation, it’s not hard to conclude.

It was Shen Zheqi who used telepathy again, bringing Song Wen out of his desire dream realm.

Hearing Chen Yuanshan’s tease, Song Wen forced a smile.

"Uncle Yuan Shan, I’m an office-worker Awakened, not a Combat Spirit Contract Master, sitting in an office every day, it’s normal if I’m not fit."

Also a Tier Four Awakened, Song Wen’s talent ability isn’t combat-related, his contracted spirit is the black briefcase.

In terms of pure combat ability, he might not even be as strong as Chen Yuanshan, who expends a lot of energy daily with physical work.

Chen Yuanshan shook his head, then looked at the backbone of their group, Shen Zheqi, and asked:

"Xiao Shen, what should we do now?"

"Should we chase, or not?"

Shen Zheqi raised his head, glancing at the distant, vaguely forming Reverse Tower.

His gaze grew more determined.

"Chase!"
