Chapter 134

"That's good."

Han Fei let out a long sigh of relief, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "You said you have the key? Wait, you don't have all the keys to the Babel, do you?"

"What else?"

Theresa looked at Han Fei with some confusion. "This is the Babel, and I am Theresa."

Volume 1: Chapter 168 It's a Truly Great Situation

At this moment, Han Fei was speechless.

Damn, that makes a lot of sense.

Theresa doesn't even have the key to the Babel?!

Theresa just smiled and said, "Then, can you tell me what a key room is?"

Han Fei said, "You already understand search containers, right?"

"Hmm, I think I understand." Theresa nodded slightly.

Han Fei explained, "The key room contains more advanced containers, as well as randomly spawning rare resources."

"Random refresh?"

Theresa frowned. "So, this is also a method of creating something out of thin air?"

"That's right."

Han Fei nodded slightly. "This is our core technology. Isn't it amazing?"

"It's truly amazing."

Theresa nodded and said, "If I return to your headquarters, I will also gain this special ability, right?"

"Um."

Han Fei nodded and said, "It will be available when we return to headquarters."

Speaking of this, Han Fei remembered something and looked at Theresa with some anticipation, then said, "Oh right, Your Highness Theresa, can I poach another person?"

"Poach someone?"

Theresa was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Who, Kal'tsit? She's not my subordinate; I have no authority to decide her fate."

"No, no, no, it's not Dr. Kal'tsit," Han Fei quickly shook his head and explained, "It's that... uh, engineer named Closure."

His family's Engineering Department is in dire need of a capable manager!

He didn't really have any ideas about rescuing people from other places, so it would be better to Closure first.

Although the "Laterano humanoid computer" described Closure as "harmless," this girl's technical skills are truly hardcore.

From infrastructure to systems, where in Rhodes Island's operations can you not find her presence?

In terms of combat prowess, she may be a "disgrace" to the Sarkaz Bloodfiends race, but in terms of technological research and engineering capabilities, Closure is definitely among the top tier on the Terra.

Think about it, Rhodes Island's original defense system, which was shut down by the Doctor and never activated again, was replaced by a completely new one. Who built a replacement from scratch? It was her!

Han Fei is currently seeking a top-tier logistics and engineering talent who can work independently!

Putting aside anything else, with Closure's skillful hands, she might actually be able to mold out the "Lorraine Chariot" that he's been longing for!

"Closure?"

Theresa was somewhat surprised; she had assumed Han Fei would need a thug.

Back then, Babel was not short of fighters; its strong and elite operators were one of the reasons why Babel had been able to survive from the civil war to the present.

If Han Fei needed a henchman, she might actually consider it.

But Closure was just a member of the logistics team.

This wasn't to belittle Closure's abilities, but simply because Han Fei didn't want thugs, but instead wanted a support team.

Theresa wouldn't Closure; she had personally invited this girl, and Theresa knew perfectly well how capable she was.

"Yes, I want to Closure."

Han Fei confirmed, "I don't lack powerful combat personnel right now, what I lack is a logistics manager who can keep my headquarters running smoothly."

"I understand," Theresa nodded slightly. "Then, I can try to send the invitation for you, but whether she accepts it is up to her, and I cannot interfere."

"That's natural."

Han Fei nodded solemnly and said, "It's entirely up to her."

"However, you are..."

Theresa was curious and instinctively wanted to ask Han Fei how he knew Closure and how he knew about her abilities.

As a result, before the conversation could even begin, they heard Lemuen shouting loudly from not far away:

Before she could finish speaking, she was abruptly interrupted by a loud, aggrieved Lemuen from not far away:

"Boss--!!!"

The commotion was so loud that Han Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly thought that Xiao Le had really opened the safe and found some kind of "Heart of Africa" thing.

He quickly gave Theresa an apologetic look, then rushed to the key card room door, peeking out and asking anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Lemuen stood sulking in the room, her lips pouting so much they could hang an oil bottle, waving several things in her hand, her face clearly saying "You're lying!"

"Boss! You lied to me!" Her voice was full of accusation. "There's no treasure at all! It's all junk!"

"Huh? Really?" Han Fei suppressed a laugh and peeked at the results of her scavenging. "So what good stuff did you get?"

"Look!"

Lemuen shoved the items right under Han Fei's nose, angrily listing the contents of the safe, "There's just a broken wine jug in the safe! An old cow horn! The table is even worse, a solar panel! And a... uh, 'classified file'!"

By the end, her tone was full of disdain, as if the "confidential file" was worth less than an apple.

"Well."

Han Fei immediately scratched his head. Good heavens, the top-secret Babel CEO, 3 purple and 1 blue, what a rip-off, this is too shady.

But if you're saying Lemuen's hands are particularly ruthless, that's not necessarily true. Could someone with truly ruthless hands have found the CEO's card?

But if you were to say she's particularly lucky, with three purple and one blue items right now, it really doesn't fit the word "lucky" at all.

"Boss!"

Lemuen Han Fei momentarily speechless, Remy took two steps forward, poked his chest, and said with a stern expression, "Boss, my card has lost value! It was over three million before, but this time it's lost almost 400,000!"

Han Fei was never a shy boy; his momentary speechlessness was simply due to being shocked by Lemuen's cunning.

When Lemuen poked his chest, Han Fei had already recovered. He then waved his hand and, like a good buddy, put his arm around Xiao Le's shoulder, saying slyly:

"Xiao Le, listen to your sister—I mean, listen to your boss's advice: when it comes to opening a membership card, there's only one thing to be afraid of: being a coward."

"If you're afraid, don't drive; if you drive, don't be afraid!"

"If we don't open this and we don't open that, how will we get out of the Heart of Africa?"

Although Lemuen was sometimes a bit oblivious, she wasn't stupid. Even though Han Fei changed his address after she started saying "sister," she still understood what Han Fei meant.

--My brother-in-law.

This made her expression somewhat subtle, but she didn't say much. She had seen the little interaction between her boss and her older sister.

What followed made her keenly aware that something was amiss:

"Boss, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"

As they spoke, Lemuen looked at Han Fei with suspicion, and asked with a hint of doubt, "You've been to the Heart of Africa?"

"Hey, I don't like hearing that."

Han Fei raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "If our new map hadn't been stuck in a loading screen, I'd show you what a gold-level Diamond Tycoon Badge really looks like."

"If you've already done that, why are we still so poor? We're bankrupt!"

Lemuen's expression was rather easy to understand -- I'm not stupid, boss, you can't fool me.

"My warehouse has been emptied, what can I do?"

Han Fei spread his left hand, looking helpless, and said, "If my warehouse were still here, I'd show you what it means to throw gold bullets around like they're nothing."

Lemuen, however, didn't believe her. She reached out and patted Han Fei on the shoulder, saying, "Boss, I understand you. I'll take your word for it."

Before Han Fei could speak, she added, "At worst, I'll support you by collecting scraps!"

"Hmm, why does that sound so familiar?"

Han Fei was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "This sounds like my line."

The next second, Lemuen was already smiling as she walked out from under Han Fei's arm. Turning around, she grinned and said, "It's alright, boss, there's nothing shameful about it. Come on, I'll take you to a key-room restaurant!"

Looking at the energetic Lemuen, Han Fei felt a little conflicted.

Oh no, now I'm really the boss.

Wait a minute, isn't this supposed to be my line?

Is the boss fat? The boss likes good cigarettes! Boss, boss, look at his legs...

"Let's go, boss!"

Lemuen stood at the door and waved to Han Fei.

"They've arrived."

Han Fei jogged over and followed behind Lemuen.

Then Xiao Le walked to another meeting room and stretched out her little hand.

Beep--

The orange warning light instantly turned green, indicating that passage was permitted.

Lemuen a little push and said, "Boss, I'll treat you to a big insurance policy!"

"Is this the method of creating things out of thin air?"

Theresa followed Han Fei in, looking at the large safe inside with some surprise, and said in astonishment, "If I remember correctly, there shouldn't be any insurance here."

Who would be so kind as to install a large insurance policy in the conference room?

Thinking of this, Theresa said softly, "I must say, you have indeed piqued my curiosity. I really want to try it myself."

"Ah, well, if you want to try it, that's fine, right, boss?" Lemuen turned to look at Han Fei.

"Uh-huh."

Han Fei nodded slightly and said, "I have no objection."

Han Fei genuinely didn't care that Theresa went to see the insurance policy.

But can Theresa open this insurance policy?

That is indeed a problem.

"Then, Your Highness Theresa, why don't you give it a try?" Han Fei said.

"Good."

Theresa walked up to the insurance company and asked, "How does it work?"

"Just a light touch will do."

Lemuen walked enthusiastically to Theresa's side and explained, "Just touch it, and the unlock screen will appear immediately. Then follow the prompts; it's very simple."

Theresa did as she was told, her fair little hand gently touching the safe.

However, nothing happened.

Theresa said softly, "Well, it seems I can't do it without the authorization."

A hint of regret could be detected in her words, but Theresa was, after all, a demon lord, and her composure was impeccable; her expression showed no change whatsoever.

"Then you can come, boss."

Lemuen pointed to the large insurance policy and said, "I'll issue this insurance for you."

Why did you stop operating it?

Han Fei asked casually, recalling that Lemuen had previously enjoyed searching for things.
