"This is your first time at the Moonlight Throne, isn't it, Mr. Ren Yu?"

Sam said with a smile, "Thanks to the Alliance Leader's efforts, we were able to build a laboratory spanning over a hundred acres this deep underground."

Ren Yu nodded. For a laboratory, this scale was definitely massive.

Peeking through a few open doorways into the smaller labs, researchers were tinkering with various minerals and machinery.

Soon, Sam led Ren Yu onto a fast-moving conveyor belt and said sheepishly, "Sorry, Dr. Tesla wants to save on expenses, so we have to use this method to get around quickly."

Ren Yu glanced at the black conveyor belt under his feet, then at the research labs filled with a futuristic atmosphere. He suddenly grinned.

"It's fine, I understand..."

After all, excavating hundreds of acres underground was one thing, but procuring all sorts of cutting-edge research equipment was the real challenge.

That was where the major expenses lay.

Even though Anti-Entropy had some money, they still had to use it sparingly.

However, the more Ren Yu looked at this conveyor belt, the more familiar it seemed.

Suddenly, he smacked his forehead, realizing.

This is the conveyor belt used for producing large vehicles!

They were recycling!

That hot-headed older sister, Tesla, was truly something else.

She actually thought of using it as a mode of transport.

Then, with renewed interest, Ren Yu noticed more instances of recycling in various places.

—The lighting equipment was modified from the searchlights of dismantled armored vehicles.

—The outer shells of the containers were made from metal salvaged from mechanical Titans.

—The temperature control systems installed at intervals, the more he looked, the more they resembled modified waste from reactor cooling units?

By the end, Ren Yu didn't even know how many money-saving tricks he had counted.

At this point, he finally arrived beside a laboratory surrounded by a circular wall.

A circular steel wall, dozens of meters high and of unknown width, enclosed a vast open space.

"Mr. Ren Yu, I can't go any further. The laboratory ahead is the core of the Moonlight Throne Laboratory. Please be careful of the danger and wear protective gear," Sam kindly reminded him.

In his opinion, this frail, skinny man should be some kind of researcher.

"Okay."

Ren Yu nodded and was about to step forward when Sam suddenly said with a troubled expression, "Please wait, Mr. Ren Yu. I just received word that the Alliance Leader left a few seconds ago, but Dr. Tesla just arrived. So, you see..."

"..."

Before Ren Yu could speak, he heard a certain hot-headed older sister's voice from behind him, "Isn't this Little Ren Yu? Are you here to pick up some exoskeleton armor from the lab to teach those little girls from Schicksal a lesson on the 'Great White Shark' cruise ship?"

Ren Yu turned around.

A young woman with red hair, twin ponytails, wearing a suit dress and pink round-framed glasses appeared before him.

She was holding an ice cream cone.

Licking it, she looked triumphantly at Ren Yu.

No doubt about it...

It was indeed the hot-headed older sister, Tesla.

While Ren Yu was still in a daze, she walked up and threw several bags she was carrying in her left hand and hanging from her mechanical assistant next to Ren Yu.

"Help me carry a few. My back is killing me from carrying these."

Ren Yu ignored her and asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"

"Fighting! Didn't I just tell you?"

"The Great White Shark? King of Gamblers Competition?"

"What else? Where else would I be going?"

She shamelessly stuffed the remaining ice cream into her mouth and crunched it down.

Then, Tesla clenched her right fist, her red steel gauntlet clicking into place, and sneered, "I really want to see those little girls crying their eyes out."

"..."

Ren Yu ignored her.

His gaze, however, fell on her red mechanical gauntlet, and he wondered—did this thing actually have combat capabilities?

It wasn't that he didn't respect Tesla.

It was because... she wasn't exactly a fighter to begin with.

After thinking for a moment, Ren Yu kindly advised, "I think you'd better not go looking for trouble."

Upon hearing this, the irritable older sister immediately grew impatient and snorted.

"Mind your own business. If I dawdle any longer, I'll miss the ship. That messy-haired guy actually ran off with Wadeline ahead of time. I wonder if he'll wait for me..."

She strode past Ren Yu, muttering to herself. Suddenly, her mechanical assistant's eyes lit up, and a bar of black and white light scanned the empty wall.

At this point, a strange thing happened.

To Ren Yu's astonished gaze, a door suddenly appeared. Tesla, dragging large bags and small bags on the ground, walked through it.

Beside them, Sam consciously turned his head away, pretending not to have seen anything.

A short while later, Tesla rushed out of the laboratory again, tossing a black box to Ren Yu.
