Chapter 547 (2/2)

At this time, a flash of blue light appeared next to Hao Ren. The MDT had teleported back from the edge of the atmosphere. It rested on Hao Ren’s shoulder and spoke like an expert, “In short, this thing is very suspicious. We just scanned the structure within the ball but we haven’t studied it in depth. Now I would recommend disabling this reactor immediately and sending the two red balls for further study…”

Hao Ren asked, “What the hell is ‘red ball’?”

“Just take it figuratively, alright?” The MDT hit Hao Ren on the head. “Considering your naming ability, you should just listen to me.”

Hao Ren was speechless.

There was obviously a problem with the “seed of the First Born”, which was being used as an energy core. Therefore, the reactor was about to be shut down. Lanina ordered that the spare core—the red ball the MDT previously mentioned—be checked and handed to Hao Ren. Hao Ren was quite nervous though: nothing good came out of the First Born; the seed was thought to be dead but it had deceived everyone and almost created a mess. It was fortunate that the problem was discovered soon enough before it caused a real disaster.

Y’zaks asked nervously if the reactor had problems in the past. Finding out that everything had been normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and vowed not to use any little-known brands of batteries anymore.

After all the hoo-ha, Hao Ren stared at the two red balls in front of him and said, “Are you sure you’re going to let me put these things into the Dimensional Pocket?”

The MDT hovered around Hao Ren and assured him, “Don’t worry. The Dimensional Pocket is a safe place and I’m not asking you to simply throw them inside. There’s a safe deposit box.”

Hao Ren looked at the balls and felt unconvinced. “…To be honest, I don’t really like things that have anything to do with the First Born.”

The MDT snorted. “Why are you harping on about this? They’re just two little balls that discharge electromagnetic waves. Are you afraid of the balls?”

Hao Ren thought for a second and gave in. He pinched his nose, frowned, and took out two large safe deposit boxes before directing an autonomous robot to place the two “seeds of the First Born” into his Dimensional Pocket for future research purposes.

After that, he asked Lanina with much concern, “After getting rid of these energy cores, will your city have a blackout?”

Lanina was startled for a moment before she figured what “blackout” meant. The succubus smiled charmingly without any conscious effort. “It doesn’t matter. As long as we don’t activate the flying mechanism, there will be enough energy for the city.”

Hao Ren nodded and added, “Unless extremely necessary, don’t’ use any unknown batteries.”

Lanina was silent.

Y’zaks scratched his head and said, “I actually wanted to say that too.”

As the problem was temporarily resolved, Y’zaks and Y’lisabet could now devote their time to catching up with Lanina. Meanwhile, Nangong Wuyue could not wait to rush to the southern wall of Helcrown to lunge down into the ocean; she could now swim as long as she wanted, because there would not be a spot where she could get ashore before she reached the other side of the city.

In the meantime, Rollie took the opportunity to hit the streets again, mooching around the unfamiliar city. But the cat was not as shy as other cats; she was a homeless. Her ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments had almost reached a godlike-level.

Hao Ren also had plans to bring Lily for a few laps around the city, but Raven 12345 had suddenly sent him a message.

“The building module that you want is here. Set some time aside to collect it from Heaven’s Office.
