Chapter 529 Grand Master (Thanks to the Leader of ONI Kid)

As soon as he entered the bridge, a solemn aura hit his face.

Under the projection of countless changing values, there is a huge steel statue. Several people were already waiting there, as if they were having an impromptu meeting.

Seeing August come in with Andrea and Huai Shi, someone waved to them to come over.

It can be seen that this place does not appear to be very bureaucratic. Although the responsibilities are clearly divided, many times everyone is very casual about unimportant things.

This may be related to the excessive idealism among the Ascendants.

Everyone doesn't have much respect for power, and they won't bow their heads in key places inexplicably because of this. Besides, people who can join the Abyss Exploration Team generally don’t care about their lives. If they don’t even care about their lives, why would they still care about this?

Even though he was one of the most powerful people in the Iron Crystal Seat, August still did not appear nervous or excited. He just calmly reported to the middle-aged man above him: "The support from the academy has been We reached the Iron Crystal Tower, but the assimilation level of the station increased, so we had to temporarily abandon it.”

"That guy Condra..."

The middle-aged man sighed, said nothing, and shook hands with Andrea, "Long time no see, Professor Andrea. Thank you for your hard work all the way here."

"It's your job."

"Where's this one?" He asked behind Andrea: "He's a new face I've never seen before."

"Huai Shi, the lecturer of classical music appreciation in the teaching and research department, the newcomer who has helped Ms. Andrea." Huai Shi introduced with a reserved nod, looking around, trying to identify who among the crowd was the great master.

That middle-aged man with a majestic expression? That smiling lady? A taciturn old man with a harsh look? Or the silent and stern young man in the corner?

During the tense and short communication meeting, no one introduced him.

No one here treats him as a distinguished guest who cannot be ignored.

To be precise - even Huai Shi himself didn't take himself seriously.

What is this place? Who is he? Even if his reputation is a bit thin, compared with anyone else here, how famous can he be? Even if he is very powerful and capable of fighting, what does it matter to the miracle of wiping out the cannon fire from hell with just one blow?

Apart from spending a few days in the easy-level Yamatai under the protection of the Creator's Main Frame, does he have any hell exploration experience and resume worth mentioning?

Even the third level is just enough to see here. It is a little better than the students who come to help and do free labor, but its effect is still limited.

If it was really useful, Raymond who came to be the driver would be better than him.

Andrea was able to bring him in probably because Huai Shi was the principal's secretary and was somewhat qualified to have access to these secrets, just to help the newcomers.

In this case, then talk less, do less, watch more and listen more.

Keep a low profile and don't get yourself into trouble.

With extremely Buddhist intentions, he leaned next to the statue behind Andrea and quietly listened to the exchange between them.

The replenishment of materials, the replenishment of food and the loss of personnel.

The use and preparation speed of inventory, the rotation of personnel and the cycle of research.

In this situation, which is similar to a daily meeting, everyone simply takes a breath and makes a report, so that others can have a clear understanding of the departments and areas they are responsible for.

After hearing the end, Huaishi discovered that even the great master did not appear here.

The chief engineer who is in charge of the central engine and also serves as the chief mate, the head of the exploration operation team who is in charge of external exploration and internal security, the chief of staff who manages supplies and internal coordination and cooperation, the ship's doctor who ensures the physical and mental condition of all crew members, and the beacon of navigation and communication Observers, manufacturing and repair line managers, and even representatives of alchemists and scholars...

And, bringing reinforcements here, Andrea will assist in maintaining the internal frame of the iron crystal pedestal.

The eight people here can be said to be representatives of all aspects of the Iron Crystal Seat. They are rare elites and talents in the entire territory. They are also experienced in abyss exploration and expansion.

When Andrea brought bad news about the Ivy League at the meeting, several people couldn't help but frown.

No matter how much an old-timer looks down on this upstart brother, he can't just ignore it - after all, behind the Ivy League is one of the six major American pedigrees.

Just like Jixia and Dongxia, the Ivy League plays a pivotal role in the American pedigree as a new blood training institution and technical department. It is not the kind of trash that can be dismissed casually.

"Two weeks ago a drone found traces of their forward base."

The purser said: "Their whereabouts are very cautious. The station is hidden at the other end of the outer ring, just outside our reconnaissance range. In order to ensure the development of sovereignty, we also had some frictions. Finally, a week ago, the other party proposed negotiations Require."

"Then what?" Andrea asked.

"Then we launched a saturation attack on their position in response." The chief engineer said expressionlessly: "Now it seems that our attitude was not firm enough, which led to them taking chances."

…

Beside him, Huai Shi couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

If this is not determined, what else can be considered determined? Can you make a big bang in hell? etc……

There is no local protection convention here, and there is no astronomical society review. It can be said that no one knows what happened in the barren mountains and wild mountains.

Maybe these guys are so crazy that they want to make a nuclear bomb out of it.

Judging from the technical reserves of the Ivory Tower and the instruments on the iron crystal base, is it really... possible?

Just when Huaishi was thinking wildly, they had temporarily finished sorting out the current situation and started a new topic.

"Basically, our inference can be confirmed based on the results brought back by the investigation team."

The old scholar representative said: "The Land of Twilight here should be the super giant industrial base created by the owners of the Purgatory Factory during the last war of the worlds - the heart of the eternal frozen furnace.

The entire hell is actually made up of countless factories and assembly lines. No, it should be said that everything here is actually part of a giant machine. We outsiders are the gravel and dust that hinder the smooth operation of the machine..."

"Are we going to go to war with those purgatory factory owners?" Someone asked: "This violates the armistice agreement between the present situation and hell. We cannot bear this responsibility."

"No, this hell is currently ownerless."

The scholar representative said: "Actually, haven't we all seen it these days? This place is basically in a state of out-of-control semi-collapse. Since the last time the purgatory factory owners were maimed, they have actively retreated into the withering zone and shrunk everything. Even if you know the situation of Twilight Land, you can't recover it.

Moreover, as long as the sovereignty has not been registered on the serial key, there is no telling who it belongs to... Our competitors should only be the Ivy League. "

The word ‘just’ is used very well.

It vividly shows the status of the stinky younger brother in Big Brother's heart.

The perennial academic monopoly has allowed the ivory tower to condescendingly regard all peers as no-names.

Pay attention to it, but still look down upon it.

As the meeting progresses, the outcome is already clear.

In order to fight for the Land of Twilight...or the Heart of the Forever Furnace, do you want to have a fight with the damn Ivy League?

The eight people present looked at each other. After being silent for a long time, they all looked towards Huai Shi.

As if asking for his opinion.

? ? ?

In shock, Huai Shi felt a hundred thousand question marks popping up above his head.

Why should we look at ourselves?

Why do you need to ask for your opinion on this kind of thing?

Just when he waved his hands in panic and was about to say something, he heard a deep voice behind him.

"Or forget it."

A hoarse voice with a metallic reverberation sounded. He yawned without energy and sighed tiredly: "I feel like it's too troublesome. I might as well pack my things and go home."

"..."

Huai Shi turned around stiffly and saw the 'steel statue' on the platform behind him. The iron thinker with his eyes lowered and meditating was actually speaking.

And she was still looking down at him, "Young man, please move, you stepped on my foot."

"……Um?"

Huai Shi lowered her head and realized that she had stepped on the instep of the steel statue for an unknown amount of time, leaving two big shoe marks.

But in his perception, this should clearly be a pure steel statue. Whether it is from the induction of the trapped hand or the attainment of alchemy, it should not be able to move or speak!

Also, since everyone is looking at him, doesn't it mean that... this statue that he stepped on for a long time is the great master?

Huai Shi almost gasped for air and was stunned.

Andrea pushed him next to him and reminded him in a low voice: "Be polite and don't act like you've seen a ghost."

"cocoa……"

Huai Shi swallowed and couldn't understand.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

The three- to four-meter-tall statue said angrily: "Most people will be scared when they see me. I know I'm a bit weird...so there's no need to feel sorry."

Don't worry about me, there's just an old man here who is of no use..."

Mikhail Ivanovich Zaitsev, one of the few great masters in the world and the most powerful person in the Iron Crystal Seat, was sitting on the pedestal, but his expression looked a little numb.

Looking at the projection of countless data in front of him, he sighed tiredly: "In the end, what is the meaning of this? Life, the universe, the present situation, hell, and even everything... Everything we do is compared with the vast abyss. What does it matter?

Will there be any changes after getting the Eternal Freezing Furnace Heart? It means nothing, and the result is nothing but emptiness...it doesn't matter..."

Along with his hoarse words, an indescribable low pressure suddenly enveloped the bridge, and the lingering frustration and exhaustion weighed heavily on everyone's heart.

The several persons in charge seemed to be used to such scenes and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Come again...
