By the next day, Chen Feng was up early. He still needed to scout out a new company location during this period. If he didn't find a new place for the company, it would essentially be a shell company. Therefore, he had to find an office building first. Of course, the required office space wasn't very large.

In fact, even if the office space was a bit remote, it would be fine. At worst, he could register his warehouse as the office space; it didn't really matter. His entire production equipment was just that 3D printer.

So, after much thought, Chen Feng decided to use the warehouse as his company's office space. Anyway, he didn't need too many employees there; in a sense, he only needed movers.

Li Zhengyang and the others didn't plan to join his company. For them, this was a fallback plan; they all had their own intentions. Li Zhengyang was alright; he just wanted to work in the field of robotics.

Sun Deming's family reportedly had arrangements for him, and they would arrange a job for him when he graduated. As for Zhao Zhipeng, the Pangzi, he planned to go out and make his own way.

Their paths were all different, so Chen Feng didn't need to force them to stay together. He would let them develop on their own, and if his company grew stronger, he would help them if he could.

Chen Feng's company would likely grow rapidly in a short time. By then, it would be hard to keep things under wraps. Therefore, a Precision Processing Factory was a must. He had long set his sights on his grandfather's old factory.

One should know that his grandfather was a retired cadre from that processing factory. And that factory, due to the impact of the internet in recent years and its inability to transform effectively, was already on the verge of collapse.

Now it was just waiting for someone to take over, and he might just be that person. Once he accumulated enough funds, he planned to take over first. By then, he wouldn't need to buy equipment, and various materials and tools would be complete, allowing him to use it as a clear facade.

His core would still be the 3D printer. After meeting the mission goal of 1 million, the Sci-Fi Ring might give him even better things. By then, this processing factory could help shield him from some attention.

Moreover, his grandfather was very invested in this factory, often going there. Although he had retired, he was still guiding some technical aspects. If the factory were to collapse like this, it would be a heavy blow to his grandfather. He didn't want to see his grandfather like that.

Of course, that was all for later. What he needed to do now was earn 1 million first. Lin Xue's orders had significantly decreased during this period. According to Lin Xue, she was currently filming and didn't have time for other work. After this period, orders would increase.

Also, Lin Xue told him some good news: two companies, specifically two companies that specialized in purchasing props, were trying every possible way to contact Chen Feng.

Chen Feng naturally agreed readily. With money coming to his doorstep, it would be foolish not to earn it. Therefore, Chen Feng had these two companies contact him, and soon he received calls from them.

They discussed two orders over the phone. The items needed for these two orders weren't many, but the value was still considerable, totaling around 200,000. This meant he could earn a net profit of 200,000 from these two deals.

For Chen Feng, making money had become very simple. So, he completed these orders within a few days and sent them over. These two companies were also very straightforward and directly transferred the 200,000.

Now, adding the few orders from Lin Xue, his current accumulated assets had reached 800,000. With another 200,000, he would meet the initial mission requirements of the Sci-Fi Ring.

He was somewhat eager about this, as he didn't know what kind of surprise the Sci-Fi Ring would give him. It would be great if it could give him something good.

Of course, it would definitely be something good; there was no doubt about that. Just a small 3D printer allowed him to quickly accumulate funds, let alone other things. If it gave him something more advanced, it might cause a global sensation.

Thinking of this, he felt very happy. A man's happiness was that simple.

But he was still short 200,000, so he had to wait a few days. However, tomorrow was the Robot Competition, so he had to accompany Li Zhengyang to participate.

By the next day, he was up early. Li Zhengyang had woken him up, and then they got ready and went to the Sports Field, preparing to take the special bus to participate in the Robot Competition.

Originally, the spots were limited, but since they were the only team from Ning City University participating, they were allowed to bring some people along. And through Li Zhengyang's connections, Chen Feng was able to go with them.

"How is it? Nervous?"

Chen Feng looked at Li Zhengyang and felt he was still a bit nervous, because the Robot Competition was not an ordinary competition. This was just the selection in Ning City. After being selected, they still had to participate in the Huaxia Competition. After the Huaxia Competition selection, they had to participate in the International Robot Competition.

The road ahead was still long. For Chen Feng, perhaps he no longer cared about the hundreds of thousands in prize money, but for Li Zhengyang, even though the hundreds of thousands in prize money would only be a few tens of thousands per person when divided among them, it was still enough to make him too excited to sleep, especially the final International Robot Competition. The prize money became secondary; the main thing was to witness the world's top robot competition.

Chen Feng was actually very interested in robots. Who wouldn't want to have a robot? Preferably a super-large one, like a full-body mecha, similar to the super-large mechas in Pacific Rim, or mechas suitable for their size like Gundam, even an exoskeleton would be fine. However, these things still only existed in science fiction.

Even if Chen Feng printed them out with the 3D printer, they would just be for show; actual movement would basically be impossible.

But who could say for sure about all this? Chen Feng had the Sci-Fi Ring. Perhaps at some point, he would be wearing a full-body mecha and galloping across the world. By then, he might be mistaken for a modern-day Iron Man.

They quickly fell asleep on the bus, especially Chen Feng, who hadn't slept well the night before, so he fell asleep quickly. When he woke up, they had already arrived at the exhibition hall.
