Chapter 1089: Chapter 195: Meeting 1

"Hey, Fatty, you’re here."

"Vice President Yuanli, Dr. Yuu." Black Python greeted first.

The Little Woman was with Dr. Yuu, and they happened to meet Fat Xiang and Black Python on the way, exchanging greetings.

Since Fat Xiang broke through the Tier 2, his body size had once again ballooned; originally, he was already a three-meter-tall, two-and-a-half-meter-wide fatty, now his belly alone was almost blocking the entire passageway.

The Little Woman discontentedly punched his belly, nearly sinking her entire self into it.

"Oh, Sister Lii," Fat Xiang woke up as if from a dream, greeting grumpily.

"Show some spirit, kid! War inevitably leads to deaths. If they just wanted peace, they should’ve stayed on the Mechanical Split Star where it’s safest. Do you want to see them age and decay, eventually succumbing to illness, living like the Old Hunters back then?"

Fat Xiang opened his mouth but ended up muttering something gloomily.

He knew very well that the Old Hunter brothers who had perished in battle before were Second Generation Old Hunters; the earliest Old Hunters who commanded Radiation Beast weapons in the Iron Sand Desert were First Generation Old Hunters.

The First Generation Old Hunters didn’t fare well in the end, and now to see the Second Generation Hunters the same, is this fate?

The Little Woman saw that her persuasion wasn’t effective, and could only sigh silently, no longer speaking.

Black Python seeing the situation wanted to change the topic, he turned to take a glance at Dr. Yuu, noticing she also had a scowl, feeling puzzled. Ever since the female doctor left the planet, she seemed to have completely embraced herself, indulging in various eccentric research, staying in the Biological Laboratory day in and day out, even a month might pass without meeting anyone, so why was she like that?

"What’s up with the doctor?"

"Her experiment funding wasn’t approved," the Little Woman said gleefully.

Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi were the number one and two positions in the camp, of course, in bed it might be reversed, and in their absence, the Little Woman was the number three choice, in charge of camp finances.

Generally speaking, all scientific projects requiring approval, she was responsible for approving and allocating funds.

Especially Dr. Yuu’s biological experiments needed to procure various odd biological fluids and species corpses from the Black Market, all quite expensive.

The Little Woman had always been generous in this regard.

However, after Gao Gong returned, he quickly reclaimed the approval rights and secretly handed it over to Old Walter.

Then, Dr. Yuu’s project applications got rejected ninety percent.

On paper, it was Gao Gong who rejected them.

Dr. Yuu dared not trouble Gao Gong and so appealed to her good sister Huang Yuanli, hoping to use emotional connections.

Since developing biotechnology also helps upgrade the ’Brain-in-a-Vat’.

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

So, Dr. Yuu darkened as she realized, thinking upon acquiring the planet’s resources, she could spread her wings.

The four walked towards the former Walter’s high-level gathering place and encountered Xiao Yu, surrounded by a circle of people, along the way.

Among them were Xiao Huang, Xiao Ya, and other Xiao Family members, all remnants of the Bio-Fusion Xiao Family who surrendered after being defeated by Gao Gong on the Mechanical Split Star. However, as the Tier 2 ’Bio-Fusion Armor’ technology lagged, they gradually fell behind the camp’s progress, putting their status in jeopardy.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Ya knew Gao Gong since the Iron Sand Desert era, considered old acquaintances.

Besides the Xiao Family remnants, there were some swordsmen from the Sub-human Continent, with military advisor Yao Xue leading.

During the previous planetary war, she was part of General Quel’s military advisory team.

Just like the Xiao Family, the street swordsmen from back then also lagged behind as the camp grew stronger, leading some to transition into Mechanical Hunters, while others didn’t even surpass player levels.

It was well-known that Xiao Yu was a dimwit.

But she had one advantage, she could converse with virtually every high-ranking member of the camp.

Just like Dr. Yuu seeking backdoor favors, this group likely sought a way to nudge Xiao Yu into doing something.

The Little Woman raised an eyebrow.

Did these people catch wind of something?

When they arrived, this group greeted them warmly.

"President Huang."

"Sister Yuanli."

"Vice President Huang."

After years of experience, Huang Yuanli was no longer the scavenger girl she once was, occasionally reverting to old habits among familiar faces, but she exuded an aura of authority, especially her gaze utilizing her Brain-in-a-Vat instinctively read people’s brainwaves, revealing their thoughts.

Those caught in her gaze felt a jolt, as if their hidden thoughts were suddenly exposed.

Who disclosed the information, fools?

Huang Yuanli’s skeptical gaze landed on Xiao Yu, warmly waving to her; her brain was blank, referred to as ’thoughts are clear’, belonging to the genius-level idiot she couldn’t comprehend.

Though she might not leak information, her idiocy was undeniable.

"Sister Lii, how long will the meeting last? I’ve got a fight arranged," Xiao Yu bluntly asked.

Despite the players being nearly her level, with three combat boss templates and monstrous combat talent, none could beat her, even if an entire lineup of top players attempted.

This altruistic, simple-minded personality, treating all players equally, became the go-to for those eager to hone combat skills; earning her nicknames like Newbie Village Tutor, Master Xiao, Flat-Chested Big Sis, The Combat Girl Cult Leader who vowed to "kill down to level 0" anyone daring to release her book, amassing a fanatical player following.

"It’ll be a while, I think."

The Little Woman casually replied, glancing at Xiao Yu’s unnoticeable chest, feeling better, affectionately pulling her along:

"Stick with me, don’t just agree to help anyone, what if they’re bad?"

"But in the Legion, I think everyone’s good," Xiao Yu earnestly responded.

"Heh."

The others exchanged glances, nodding secretly; indeed, the legends were true, she truly was the fabled high-level pet.

Upon entering the Council center, the Little Woman immediately noticed Old Walter sitting beside Gao Gong, her eye twitched sharply.

It wasn’t just her; anyone with sight twitching either their eye or mouth reacted to seeing him.

This enemy boss previously marked suddenly appearing in the friendly camp; although known not to be the Cloned Race Leader, his identical appearance plus almost eliminating high-ranking members left them uneasy.

Especially as he seemed unbothered by others’ perceptions; his disheveled white hair unchanged, his gaze cold, even critically assessing every member.

No way, buddy, who are you!? Know your place, you green-skinned old captive!

Those who’d fought frontline battles displayed simmering hostility, some openly showing murderous intent, exemplified by Fat Xiang.

The Little Woman deeply inhaled, suppressing strong aversion, her gaze drifting to the table’s end, spotting Gao Gong conversing with Host Brain.

She understood Host Brain counted battle assets; although Walter Clan consumed much of it, for the Legion, it was unimaginably vast wealth.

Yet, she was surprised to see it wasn’t Gao Gong himself, but an electronic image.
