Strange Cards

Chapter 265 You want to work me to death?

Zhao Qingling was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Yes."

"Since I'm not a genius, I'll choose to dedicate my life to research."

"Maybe I can become a star too, can't I?"

At this moment, the rocket carrying the satellite ignited its propellant, and then high-temperature flames spewed out from the nozzle at the bottom of the rocket, propelling the rocket slowly into the sky.

After the rocket launched into the sky, everyone watched a huge holographic 3D projection, which was the live footage of the rocket launch.

Cheers erupted after the rocket successfully launched the satellite into orbit. Soon after, the satellite disintegrated and reassembled in space, forming a spindle-shaped satellite.

Five notched panels quickly extended from the satellite, and the interior of the panels was soon filled with a red quantum light network, forming five huge light wings.

The five light wings slowly absorb the sun's energy to power the satellite's energy supply.

After a short period of charging, the satellite successfully started up, and smoke appeared around Shiyu and Guanyun.

"Gentlemen, satellite startup has been successful."

"I have successfully connected to satellite control. Do you wish to test the satellite functions now?"

"Let's start the test."

Shi Yu spoke, shaking her wrist before saying.

"The target is me. Use satellite transmission to send me to the forest north of Nanhai City, and then send me back."

"clear."

After Yanyun finished speaking, she disappeared from the scene, and Shigure, seeing Yanyun disappear, pushed open the door and walked out.

"Wait, are we going to use people for the experiments right away?"

"It shouldn't be a dummy or anything like that; at the very least, it should be a living creature."

"Why did you just hire people directly?"

Zhao Qingling looked puzzled, while Guan Yun patted Zhao Qingling on the shoulder and gestured towards Shi Yu with his chin.

"Don't worry, that kid is a thousand-year-old tortoise, he won't die."

"During the last battle at the South China Sea Ghost Gate, this kid fell from space and was burned to ashes, but he still came back to life."

Good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years.

"This kid is the biggest scourge of the entire Hunters."

At this moment, Shigure looked up at the high sky, while the satellite in orbit used all the absorbed energy to operate the system.

Soon, one device after another on the satellite was activated. Then, three long, narrow objects at the launch port input all the energy into the launch port, and a beam of red light shot directly from the satellite's launch port into the blue planet.

The beam of light accurately located Shiyu, and quickly expanded until it enveloped her entirely. Then, to the astonishment of the researchers, Shiyu was carried away by the red beam of light.

"It really worked?"

"Does the satellite transmission actually work?"

"That's natural."

Shi Yu's voice came from behind Zhao Qingling. Zhao Qingling and Guan Yun turned around and found Shi Yu standing behind them, happily biting into a candied hawthorn.

"The teleportation speed is quite fast; for me, it was just a momentary lapse of consciousness before I arrived at the teleportation point."

"It felt like I was taken away by the satellite and then came back out shortly after."

"But I need to get used to this thing. It's a bit dizzy the first time I use it."

"It might be a slight side effect from the first time the body was broken down at the atomic level and then reassembled."

Guan Yun pinched Shi Yu's cheek, then grabbed a handful.

Shi Yu winced in pain, dodged Guan Yun's grab, and took two steps back.

"What are you doing, hey hey ouch?"

"Just make sure you're not in any trouble."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to Bai Yu when I get back."

After confirming that Shi Yu was alright, Guan Yun patted Zhao Qingling on the shoulder and pointed at Shi Yu.

"If you have any problems you can't solve, just ask me for help. Besides fighting and going home to sleep, the place where this kid probably spends the most time is my lab."

"I need to find a way to give this kid the title of a scientific research hunter, and squeeze every last drop of value out of him."

"PhD."

After Shi Yu finished biting into the last candied hawthorn, she lit a flame in her hand and burned the entire bamboo skewer to ashes.

"Capitalists like you would have been hung on streetlights in Siberia centuries ago."

"I've been working so hard, can't I even rest a bit?"

Seeing that Guan Yun was about to start nagging, Shi Yu's eyes darted around, and she changed the subject.

"By the way, Doctor, when will the construction of the space cruiser begin?"

Hearing this, Guan Yun's temper flared even more, and he jumped up and slapped Shi Yu's forehead hard.

"I just finished three big projects, and you want me to start a new one?"

"You really want me dead, immortal!"

"Even Yanyun needs to rest. I'm a human being! Not a monster like you who can go for days and nights without sleep."

Guan Yun regained his footing and wiped his hands.

"I've handed this over to the other three bases to work on. I'm going to start taking a break."

"If you make me work again, I'm quitting! I haven't had a proper rest in years since I joined the Hunters, except for my regular days off."

"Are you trying to kill me by bringing this up again?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

"Doctor, where are you going to take your leave?"

"I'm too lazy to stay home and sleep. Don't even think about bothering me, you piece of junk."

"Even the machinery needs lubrication. Now that the satellite project is finished, we can finally get some rest."

After saying that, Guan Yun and Shi Yu walked outside side by side, while Zhao Qingling watched the two of them leave and the USB drive that Guan Yun had left for her. She then turned around and went into the laboratory, throwing herself back into her research.

As the two were walking, Guan Yun suddenly took out a small device from his white coat and threw it to Shi Yu.

"I almost forgot to give you this thing."

Shiyu took the small device and discovered that it could be worn on the wrist. She put it on and said.

"What's this thing for?"

"Hunters mostly fight with a single card, so this thing is for increasing burst damage."

"If you are severely injured, you can use your own strange card to bypass this device and enter a state of super evolution to fight for ten more minutes, commonly known as a dying struggle."

"But this thing also has a drawback, which is that once your physical abilities are not abnormally high, you will basically have no fighting power left after using it up."

"Currently, there are only four people in the Southern Base who meet the physical requirements: you, Boss, Da Niu, and Liu An."

"Because this thing is for you to use when you're about to die and you're fighting for your lives. You basically won't use Super Evolution in normal battles."

"The others either can't handle the side effects due to their physical condition or they need to activate multiple cards. The four of you are the only four suitable candidates."

"Bai Yu's problem is that she has too many cards activated, but the Beyond Evolution Device can only unleash the power of one card and not multiple cards, which is why she can't use it."

Shiyu looked at the Transcendence Evolution Device on her wrist and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It looks pretty good."
