Chapter 768 - There Are a Lot of Secrets on Earth (2/2)

Most of them were security guards who had used a lot of weapons and knew which of them could cause a similar explosion. The director of the base was among them. On the surface, he barely talked to Roland and didn’t even seem to care about Roland’s progress in his experiments, but in reality, he was the one who cared about Roland’s achievements the most in the base.

It was because he had been informed that Roland, as well as the project that he headed, had the highest priority in the entire base.

No other projects could compare to it.

If Roland acquired so much as a scratch in the base, he would be lambasted by his boss.

However, he couldn’t control Roland to protect him, so he was quite anxious.

He could only try to ensure the security of the work.

He had weekly meetings and stressed the rules for experiment safety again and again.

Then, all those people watched Roland snap his fingers and release several more blue fireballs, leaving dents and pits on the floor.

“Wow, the repair team has a lot of work to do.”

“It isn’t a lot at all,” said a guy from the repair team as he watched. “We’d be very happy if we saw a few more men as marvelous as him.”

Everybody laughed in the surveillance room.

At this moment, the director’s headphones buzzed. He stopped laughing and walked out, before he said, “Is there anything wrong?”

“Some comrades with a high level of confidentiality delivered something to Comrade Huang Wenwei.”

“Does their information match up with what we have?” asked the director.

“We’ve looked into them. Their names are in the system.”

“Then scan and examine the delivery with equipment and deliver it to him.”

“The problem is that we cannot figure out what’s in the package.” “Huh? What do you mean by you can’t figure it out?”

“The scanner doesn’t show what’s inside the package. It’s just a bunch of pixels.”

The director was stunned. “Wait, I don’t think our scanner can pixelate the image, can it?”

“No, it can’t. That’s why we doubt that whatever is inside the package is actually pixels.”

After a moment of silence, the director cried in disbelief, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“No, it’s indeed shown as pixels.”

The director rubbed his head. “Confirm the deliverers’ identity again. If it’s fine, let them in. I’ll bring Comrade Huang to fetch the goods now. It’s probably related to his ability.”

After that, the director went to Roland.

Very soon, they came to the entrance on the top level of the base.

At the entrance were four young men in plain clothes. After seeing Roland, one of them took out his phone and found Roland’s profile. He compared Roland to his photo and then walked to him.

They shook hands and introduced each other.

Then, the stranger said, “Comrade Huang, the package has been delivered. We’ve fulfilled our mission. See you.”

“Thank you.” Roland didn’t invite them to stay, as this was a highly-classified base for special research and wouldn’t take strangers in, even though the strangers had a high clearance too.

What the four of them gave Roland was a very long bag.

Looking at the green bag that was about one meter long and looked like a traveling suitcase, Roland lowered his head and was about to open it.

But at this moment, the director stopped him and said, “Don’t be hasty. Let’s examine it first.”

Even though the strangers had a high security clearance, the director of the base wanted to be safe.

Two security guards wearing thick anti-explosion clothes and holding transparent shields walked over.

They prudently hid their bodies behind the shields and opened the bag with only one arm.

They scanned the bag with two different kinds of equipment and even opened the bag to check for bugs.

The examination was over five minutes later, and one of the guards approached Roland with a long green stick.

“Comrade Huang, this is the only thing in the package.”

The director asked, “Has it been examined?”

“It has no radiations or electricity, and it’s not explosive.”

“That will do.”

In fact, they knew that the item was probably safe, but they would rather be more cautious.

Roland accepted the green stick.

In fact, ever since he saw it, he had sensed that the stick wasn’t ordinary.

The moment he touched it, he felt that magic power was surging in his body.

Also, there was a stream of pure energy that slowly flowed into his body from the green stick.

This is… a magic power crystal?

It was Roland’s first reaction, but he soon dismissed the idea.

The energy was very pure and didn’t have any attribute. He could absorb it and transform it into magic power. Seeing Roland’s change of expressions, the director of the base was shocked and asked quickly, “Comrade Huang, what’s wrong?”

“I want to know if I’m qualified to investigate where this green crystal-like staff came from.”

The director of the base said solemnly, “Their clearance level is very high. We don’t have the permission to investigate them. The system only shows that they’re with us, but their job and workplace are hidden. Why? Is there something wrong with this crystal stick?” “Yes, it is greatly wrong,” said Roland while looking at the director. “This is an energy stick that contains that special energy in nature, which we have been searching for but never found.”

The base director’s expression changed.

Having been keeping track of the progress of Roland’s team, he knew that Roland couldn’t find magic power in the air, so he had been transforming his vitality into magic power the whole time.

However, someone had delivered an energy stick to him?

Did it mean that another base was doing similar experiments and was making faster progress?

They knew that Roland’s research hit a bottleneck, and they even delivered the critical “key” to him?

Looking at the base director’s face, Roland had a lot of complicated feelings.

In fact, he left something unsaid.

The energy stick contained a terrifying amount of energy.

Roland felt that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to build a small floating city in reality after he fully absorbed it.
