Nowadays, most of the people in the research institute have moved to the college.
Of course, there are still many people here who specialize in researching missiles, a type of high-risk weapon.
After all, even if the experiment fails in the suburbs, the losses can be minimized, not to mention that the Snow Empress is here to guard the area.
They can also react promptly to any dangerous situations.
Snow Empress quickly came down from the second floor and looked at Cao Yu standing in front of her, a sweet smile appearing on her beautiful face.
" Little Yu, when did you get back?"
"This morning."
After a while, Cao Yu released Ice Empress from the demiplane.
She rushed over, then hugged Snow Empress tightly with a big smile, saying, "I missed you so much, Snow Empress!"
Snow Empress gently pushed her away, somewhat amused and exasperated. She knew perfectly well that Ice Empress liked her very much, but unfortunately, her feelings for Ice Empress were more of a sisterly affection.
She treats her like her own younger sister, lively and clingy.
Then Ice Empress pouted and said to her in a coquettish tone, "That bastard Cao Yu has been refusing to let me come back. He even said you're his and he's afraid I'll take you away from him."
Cao Yu stood helplessly behind him. This guy had actually learned to tattle. Just as he was about to explain,
Snow Empress smiled slightly and said, "Oh, really? Little Yu, when did I become yours?"
Why does this smile send a chill down your spine?
Just as he was about to say something, Cao Yu quickly stopped himself.
Scratching his head, somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Just kidding, just kidding, Snow Empress, don't take it seriously."
Ice Empress turned around, stuck out her tongue at him, and said with a smirk, "A guy who's all talk and no action, no fun at all."
You say I don't have the guts to steal? You fat scorpion, you don't even know how many times I've kissed you.
They're just using this as an excuse to bully others; they're incredibly arrogant.
Cao Yu thought viciously to himself.
"Alright, let's go inside and chat. Little Yu, are you coming too?" Snow Empress waved to him, then turned around, her white skirt swaying as she turned.
Those long, fair legs are indeed quite beautiful! Very pleasing to the eye.
Cao Yu immediately replied, "Of course I'll go. Speaking of which, it's been so long since I've seen you, Snow Empress, you've become even more beautiful."
Ice Empress, standing nearby, couldn't help but retort, "Tch! Smooth talker."
" Ice Empress, stop adding fuel to the fire. It's like you're the one who's jealous, tsk tsk." She shook her head, a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
Watching the two playfully bickering, Snow Empress smiled so happily, a rare occurrence for her. After all, she didn't usually have many familiar people to talk to here, but now that she had two lively characters, Snow Empress was naturally happy.
After arriving at Snow Empress's boudoir, the three sat around the comfortable sofa. At this moment, Snow Empress took out a table from her Soul Tool and handed it to him.
"This covers our institute's expenses for the past three years, and we still have a considerable amount of money left."
"However, the Star Luo Empire's huge demand for weapons has also generated enormous profits, currently generating nearly several billion in revenue annually. Of course, this is just the beginning, and future profits are very likely to increase exponentially."
Cao Yu glanced at the data sheet in his hand, then said to Snow Empress, "Reducing the prices of the Gatling gun and various missiles to 60% of their original prices."
"As for raising the price of raw materials purchased from the Star Luo Empire by more than two times, just like before, bring in the money and I will pay it."
Snow Empress was clearly taken aback for a moment, then said, "Wouldn't that mean you'd earn even less money?"
"It's too small; its scope is too narrow."
After all, the value of what you sell is limited; only the money you buy or spend can generate a tenfold return.
"Besides, I am still a subject of the Star Luo Empire. It doesn't matter if we earn a little less money, as long as they match these weapons as quickly as possible."
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were instantly stunned by his words.
They kept replaying Cao Yu's words in their minds.
Seeing the two people staring straight at him, and with a light seemingly in their eyes, Cao Yu instantly felt uneasy.
Have these two suddenly fallen in love with me?
But... it's not impossible, it's just that I'm not ready yet!
Only Ice Empress couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, slowly saying, "Looks like I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to have a conscience after all."
Snow Empress smiled and agreed, " Little Yu, I admire you more and more."
She reached out and gently patted Cao Yu's head, smiling as she said, "I don't know how your brain works, you can come up with so many strange and wonderful things."
Cao Yu grabbed her hand; it was soft and smooth, and his face was full of smugness.
He then pulled her into his arms with a forceful movement, and looked at Ice Empress beside him with a smug expression, saying, "Didn't you say you had the desire but not the courage? Well then, I'll see what a real man is."
Just as he was about to kiss Snow Empress, Snow Empress smiled gently and then pushed him away effortlessly.
Her slender fingers traced a line on the bridge of his nose as she said, " Little Yu, you're being naughty. If you keep doing that, I won't talk to you anymore."
Ice Empress, who was standing nearby, also realized what had happened and angrily rushed up to Cao Yu, shouting, "Ah! You almost kissed Snow Empress! Cao Yu, I'll fight you to the death!"
The next morning.
Early in the morning, Cao Yu had already left the research institute. Of course, he hadn't slept with Snow Empress and the others last night, even though he wanted to, but reality didn't allow it.
After all, the research institute has plenty of rooms available, so one room per person is sufficient.
Shrek Academy has returned to its usual bustling state. Yesterday was the annual Inner Court assessment, so Cao Yu didn't see Wang Dong and the others.
As he passed Shrek Square, a person suddenly stepped out from the crowd and stood in front of him, about two meters away.
The man just stared at him quietly; it was clear he had come to see him.
It was a woman, tall and slender, dressed in a white fitted outfit with silver trim, and wearing a pink, slightly transparent veil over her face.
Her long, light blue hair reached her waist, appearing even more captivating as it swayed in the gentle breeze.
After their eyes met, Cao Yu became even more certain of his own thoughts.
This is so similar to the Goddess of Light in the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
It's either Wang Qiu'er or Wang Dong'er.
It's highly likely it's Wang Qiu'er; it seems the Auspicious Beast has successfully transformed.
"Hey! I could tell you were a beauty at first glance."
Cao Yu quickly stepped forward and saw that she still looked flustered and wanted to leave.
He quickly spread his arms to stop her, then ripped off the woman's veil.
Cao Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"
"Give it back." The girl's melodious voice was like a lark singing softly.
He gently raised his hand and extended it in front of the girl. She looked away, appearing somewhat pitiful.
That awful protective instinct also arose in my heart.
