I Want Two Things

Fu Junlin had not learned it out of thin air.

For the final two years of high school, he had always been the class representative for lab sessions. Back then, the most advanced piece of equipment in the high school laboratory had been a Ten-Armed Semi-Automatic.

In the entire class—even the entire grade—no one dared claim they could handle the Ten-Armed Semi-Automatic better than Fu Junlin.

Or rather, no one had been more obsessed with staying in the lab than he was.

Everyone else liked going out, training, and occasionally taking missions. They had seen plenty of blood and battlefields early on, accumulating combat experience.

But when Fu Junlin first went on an Arena Zone mission as a freshman, he would still freeze at the sight of a battlefield drenched in blood.

He controlled the ten mechanical arms and dismantled the crystal block.

Next, he needed to separate the energy plates inside the crystal block layer by layer.

They were like chocolate wafers stuck together. The energy plates were the wafers, while the energy colloid was the cream filling between them.

Once the energy plates were opened, however, the dense circuitry and nodes inside made one's scalp tingle.

Even the strongest magnifying glass could barely make them out, let alone allow someone to manipulate them with mechanical arms.

At this point, Fu Junlin took a deep breath.

The scene around him, with hundreds of people gathered there, was as silent as a tomb chamber on a winter night.

Zhang Cheng raised both hands, signaling everyone not to make a sound, but his hands were already trembling in midair.

"Your turn!"

Fu Junlin said to Big Black in his heart.

The moment his words fell, Fu Junlin felt a mysterious energy surge from within him and rush straight into his brain.

It was an extraordinarily profound sensation. A subtle current flowed through his palms, connecting to the mechanical arms and then to the Battle Flag Crystal Block.

Then, that current actually flowed back into his brain.

It formed a clear diagram of the circuitry in his mind.

Vast and complicated, yet exceptionally clear—it was as though he were a microorganism floating between skyscrapers and enormous cables!

It was a wondrous field of vision.

Fu Junlin's eyes gradually lit up.

Was this the ability gained after unlocking the Gene Lock??

Was this the perspective of Biological Vision?

At that moment, Fu Junlin suddenly began yearning for the possibility Big Black had mentioned.

The possibility that he, too, could break through his Gene Lock and gain such terrifying abilities!

After the excitement passed, Fu Junlin quickly began the repairs.

The repair process was simple. He needed to remove six of the circuits passing through the output Capacity Expander, lowering the output power. That would reduce the backflow power and bring it below the stability threshold of the explosive circuit.

But those circuits had an order to them, like strands of dragon's beard candy, countless threads layered upon one another.

To remove six without damaging the circuitry, he first had to dismantle every circuit pressing down on them, remove the target circuits, and then reinstall the others.

Fu Junlin proceeded with extreme care. He put every one of the mechanical arms' finest needles, tweezers, blades, and soldering tools to masterful use.

A full twenty minutes passed. Sweat dripped from Fu Junlin's forehead, wetting a small patch of floor.

Finally.

"Ah!!~~~"

Fu Junlin pulled back his unbearably sore hands and let out a cry to ease the pain.

The crystal block on the workbench had already been completely reassembled.

"Junlin, did... did it work?"

Even Zhang Cheng's voice had begun to tremble.

Fu Junlin smiled, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he took the crystal block out and handed it to Wang Kai.

He then walked over to the vehicle, casually grabbed three more damaged Battle Flag Crystal Blocks, and placed one on the workbench.

"One success doesn't count as success. After all, we're saving an entire batch of goods. Let's first see whether the recorded parameters work."

Fu Junlin smiled at Zhang Cheng, then performed a series of operations on the Parameter Locking Device.

When he pressed the switch, the ten mechanical arms actually began operating automatically.

They dismantled, separated, then slowed down and removed the circuits.

But because the machine was operating automatically, it eliminated the moments of hesitation Fu Junlin had encountered during manual work. This time, it took only nine minutes to finish reassembling it.

Half an hour later, the workbench automatically completed repairs on all three Battle Flag Crystal Blocks.

If these crystal blocks worked, then every crystal block could be operated using Fu Junlin's parameters and returned to normal use.

Wang Kai could not wait to take the crystal blocks to another workbench. After infusing them with energy, several streams of pure healing halos erupted from them.

Even Fu Junlin could not help moving closer. The lingering soreness in his arms from working so long immediately eased considerably.

Several more rings of light swept over him, completely healing him.

Wang Kai tested them one after another.

The first one had no problems.

The second one had no problems.

The third one was perfect.

The fourth one had no problems...

Boom!!

The crowd, which had long been restless, instantly erupted when the fourth crystal block finished testing.

All the workers jumped with excitement, throwing their arms around the colleagues beside them.

They would not lose their jobs.

"Heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes..."

By then, tears were streaming down Zhang Cheng's face. He kept muttering those words, his fists clenched so tightly that they were nearly bleeding.

Wang Kai hugged Zhang Cheng and offered him his shoulder. Only then did Zhang Cheng collapse into Wang Kai's embrace, his body shaking with silent sobs.

Fu Junlin, standing nearby, let out a long breath. Facing the admiration and disbelief in Wang Kai's eyes, he instead felt somewhat awkward.

He was somewhat uncomfortable being the center of attention. Shyly, he scratched his head and slipped into the office alone.

The workers naturally cheered as they watched Fu Junlin enter the office.

Only then did Zhang Cheng and the others rush into the office as well.

Saving this shipment was equivalent to saving their factory. As long as the Battle Flag Crystal Blocks were repaired, even if they tested them all and drained their energy completely—

the Battle Flag Crystal Blocks could still be recharged. What made these Battle Flag Crystal Blocks valuable was not the Healing Technique inside them.

It was the crystal blocks themselves. If you did not pay a deposit, you could buy the crystal blocks outright. But if you did not intend to buy them, you had to pay a deposit and return the crystal blocks later.

These were functional crystal blocks, completely different from Energy Crystal Blocks, which were simply containers for storing energy.

"Junlin, Junlin! You are the savior of me, Zhang Cheng! Tell me, what do you want? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you! Factory shares, money—so long as you say the word, I'll do everything in my power to satisfy you!!"

Zhang Cheng closed the office door. At that moment, only several people in charge and Wang Kai remained inside.

Fu Junlin glanced at Wang Kai.

Wang Kai's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Fu Junlin then knew what he should do.

In truth, he had known from the start that even if he put in a great deal of effort and saved the factory, he could not make outrageous demands.

Because Zhang Cheng was, after all, a businessman.

A businessman's nature was to place profit above all else: favor people when they were useful, discard them once they had served their purpose.

If he took Zhang Cheng's words seriously and truly opened his mouth to ask for factory shares, that would be utterly ignorant of his own place.

But asking for nothing was impossible. He had already made plans.

"President Zhang, I don't want the shares, but I do need two things."

Fu Junlin raised two fingers.

Though Zhang Cheng did not show it on his face, no one knew what he was thinking. He made a grand gesture and said:

"Junlin, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who forgets a favor. Just say it. As long as I can do it, I will absolutely satisfy you."
