Chapter 14 Just go with peace of mind

[You gave Su Lei a gift, Information Engineering +30]

[Su Lei's Favorability 93]

[Experience bonus 5]

[Information Engineering B-level: (1308/10000)]

He Kui secretly closed the virtual panel in front of Su Lei and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

His information engineering was finally upgraded. Although there was a big hurdle from B-level to A-level, if both of them reached B-level, he would be able to take on more work and naturally earn more money. Moreover, if the Hello and the model were more sophisticated, it would be very cost-effective whether giving it to the two of them or selling it. After all, this thing had no cost, as long as the processor's capabilities could be fully utilized.

Although it seems like a lot of time has passed now, in fact only about half a month has passed.

However, during this period of time, PLANT, which had received funds, also took a big move, which was to start preparing for the attack and defense of the World Tree.

The World Tree is a space station between the Earth and the Moon, located at the Earth-Moon Lagrange point L1. It is the bridgehead for the Earth Alliance to reach the lunar base.

The purpose of this battle is to test the power of the neutron jammer and to completely cut off the Earth Alliance's hegemony in space.

He Kui didn't know how the battle would turn out. He only remembered that there was no such place as the World Tree Space Station in the plot, so He Kui was not very optimistic about this battle. However, there was a high probability that the neutron jammer could be used.

In the future battlefield filled with neutron jammers, whoever has stronger intelligence collection and processing capabilities will have the advantage, and this is precisely the strength of the regulators who rely on technology to build their country.

However, the Atlantic Federation seemed to have learned of the existence of the neutron jammer through some channel. Currently, there are more and more espionage activities against PLANT, especially for He Kui's department. The research and development of high-precision radar has always been a top priority in modern information warfare.

"What's wrong with you? You suddenly became dazed."

After evaluating the model in front of her, Su Lei looked up and saw He Kui's satisfied expression, which made her feel a chill.

"without"

He Kui put away the smile on his face and quickly returned to his normal expression.

"Well, that's good. Also, this World Tree attack and defense battle requires a group of personnel to collect data on reconnaissance Jinn in the rear."

Su Lei said as she put down the model and slid it across the screen in front of her.

"Ah? This doesn't suit me."

Are you kidding? There's a battlefield outside. As I just said, He Kui doesn't even know how the battle will turn out. If his entire army is wiped out, he will really die young.

"Too late. I have just confirmed your list."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly turned cold. No one spoke. Only He Kui stared at Su Lei in shock.

"It's just collecting the actual combat functions of the reconnaissance type Jinn in the rear and connecting with the researchers who are involved in the preparation of the neutron jammer. There's no danger."

Su Lei frowned, but then she thought about what He Kui had said before about his sister. She thought that He Kui was having some trauma, so she lowered her voice and spoke soothingly.

"You really want me to go?"

"Your information engineering is also rated as B-level, right? Plus, you are very familiar with the abilities of the reconnaissance type Jinn, so you are the most suitable assistant in the entire department at the moment."

"Aren't they afraid that I'm an undercover agent?"

As a second-generation adjuster who was not born and raised in the PLANT, he will still be discriminated against to a certain extent. Although he does not say it and his colleagues know that he is a first-generation adjuster, it is impossible to hide this from the PLANT government. Just like natural persons will discriminate against and attack adjusters, adjusters do not have much good feelings towards natural persons. Especially after recent events, it is common for the country to vent its anger on the parents of the first-generation adjusters.

"Are you? Undercover agents don't do this kind of thing every day to make money, and they naturally have their own channels to confirm your innocence. Since they have activated you, it means they will not doubt you, at least for now."

With her chin supported by one hand, Su Lei poked the model in front of her with her white jade fingers, like a little girl playing with a toy.

When He Kui heard Su Lei's words, the colleague who asked him every day if he was short of money suddenly appeared in his mind. It seemed that he was the one who mentioned the model of Fengjian, and he had disappeared recently.

If that person is not a spy, then he is not the flag they use to confirm their loyalty.
"It seems like you have guessed something~"

Su Lei's mouth corners slightly raised.

"I didn't guess."

He would never admit it, God knows what is waiting for him. "He Kui, you are very smart on this point."

"Thanks."

He Kui replied sullenly.

"Anyway, whether you guessed it or not, the list has been confirmed. Go back and get ready."

No matter how high Su Lei's favorability is, she is still his superior, and he is not a succubus. He is afraid that if he insists on not going, his favorability will drop. And he will probably have to go in the end. There is no way, He Kui can only agree.

"Why is there so much food today?"

Faced with the colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes, Shihe was stunned for a moment. This was the most luxurious meal they had had in the past month.

"Shihe, I'm going to the World Tree as a data collector."

He Kui smiled.

"It's still very dangerous, but the rear should be fine, so be careful."

Seeing Shihe's worried look in front of him, He Kui's smile did not change, but he felt even more reluctant in his heart. Shihe's reaction was normal. On the battlefield, his ability to protect himself was basically zero.

"I understand."

"But I'm also very proud of you, He Kui."

After Shihe absorbed this news, a smile finally appeared on her pretty face again, and her worried eyes gradually showed a bit of admiration.

"I envy you for being able to go to the battlefield as a researcher, to help the PLANTs, and to see with your own eyes that your weapons can save more lives."

Being able to go to the battlefield as a researcher must be something she should be proud of. Perhaps he was able to clear the suspicion of being a spy so quickly last time because of his good family background.
"So He Kui should go with his head held high!"

Guessing the poem, the expression on his face became even more excited.

".Thanks."

It’s hard to say how deep his feelings for PLANT are, but He Kui’s emotions were aroused a little by Shihe’s passionate words.

"Actually, I applied before, but I didn't get accepted, otherwise we could have gone together this time."

Shihe said regretfully.

"Is this so"

Of course it's impossible to get through. Even now, beam weapons have been miniaturized and can only carry out soft kills. It's impossible for the troops to use such a small beam gun to destroy other people's surveillance cameras.

"Yeah, so I can only wait for you to come back. Make sure you are safe and sound."

Shihe took a few steps closer to He Kui and stood on tiptoe. Their thin lips touched and then quickly separated, as if the temperature on their lips was just an illusion.

"And this, for you."

After they separated, Shihe's face turned red, but she still suppressed her shame and took out the necklace hanging around her white neck.

It has an oval shape, with a pure white swan carved on the blue body.

“This is your amulet.”

"Well, I'll lend it to you temporarily~"

As she spoke Shihe lifted her long brown hair and untied the necklace from the back of her neck.

The necklace that He Kui took from Shihe still had some of the warmth of its original owner, and the warmth continued to spread to He Kui's palm.

"Thank you."

Although it looked a bit like a flag, He Kui still accepted it.
