Himeko's Lap Pillow, Sushang in Danger, Phantylia Attacks [8k]

Before Ji Yuan could even speak, Silver Wolf started cursing.

"Get lost, you bastard! You still have the nerve to call me. You even skimmed off my last penny... * Stellaron Hunter profanity*..."

Silver Wolf, true to her reputation as a hacker who's been surfing the internet for years, used incredibly vulgar language. Ji Yuan felt that if she were to use her full swearing style, her body would probably be torn to pieces. However, she knew that Ji Yuan's parents were deceased, so her insults only targeted Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan and Firefly looked at each other in silence.

At this moment, Firefly spoke up to Silver Wolf, "Ahem... um, Silver Wolf, please help me."

Hearing her say that, Silver Wolf stopped swearing.

"Ahem, you're here too." Silver Wolf asked Firefly, "So, Ji Yuan, is there something you need?"

"Help me develop a virus program."

Ji Yuan said to the Silver Wolf.

"Virus program?"

Silver Wolf asked curiously.

"Yes, it means that once small machines are infected with this virus, they can be operated by humans and complete even the most delicate tasks according to the program. Ideally, the virus should also be able to spread through sound, and over a sufficiently large area..."

Ji Yuan planned to utilize the small machines scattered throughout the underground of Belobog. Their combat capabilities were not strong, rendering them useless in the fight against the Anti-Matter Legion. Therefore, it would be best to modify them into repair equipment.

However, the underground machinery is generally difficult to obey Ji Yuan's commands, and its information processing capabilities are not high enough. Even if it obeys Ji Yuan's orders, it cannot perform maintenance work.

So Ji Yuan simply used the virus to take control of them, and then he could just issue program commands without having to do anything else.

After hearing Ji Yuan's demands, Silver Wolf said irritably, "You have so many demands! Besides, aren't you about the same level as me? Why don't you do it yourself?"

Ji Yuan said to Silver Wolf, "I still need to modify the Creation Engine. So, Miss Silver Wolf, please help me."

He still needed to discuss the modifications to the Creation Engine with Screwllum, and since he didn't have much experience in creating computer viruses, it would be safer to seek help from Silver Wolf. It would be much better in terms of both time and results.

"Okay, I agree. But first, you have to give me my money back."

Silver Wolf said to Ji Yuan.

I need my money back.

[Transfer: 1000 Credits]

Ji Yuan retaliated without hesitation.

Silver Wolf only felt a little more comfortable after seeing that the money had arrived.

It's alright. I've only ever swindled other people's money; I've never seen anyone swindle their own.

She continued, "In addition, I have one more request. No matter how dangerous it may be, please help me take good care of Firefly and Star."

Hearing Silver Wolf say this, Ji Yuan's tone became serious. He assured Silver Wolf, "Don't worry, no matter how dangerous the situation, I will do my best to prevent them from getting hurt."

"Hmm." Ji Yuan Silver Wolf continued, "Tell me, when do you need it?"

"One..."

"One day? It's a bit rushed, but it's still doable."

"No, we need it urgently. Is an hour alright?"

"Ji Yuan, you beast! You deserve to be hung on the streetlight, you heartless devil..."

Silver Wolf's insults became even more offensive.

However, in the end, she nodded in agreement.

"Fine, you just wait."

"Yes, thank you. I'll help you with anything you need in the future."

Silver Wolf snorted and said, "I don't have anything that I need you to do. Even the battle with Screwllum is between the two of us. You'll always owe me this favor. Just be humble and respectful to me when you see me in the future."

She hung up the phone after saying that.

After she hung up, Ji Yuan dialed Screwllum's number again to discuss the modification of the Creation Engine.

Screwllum's mechanical skills are more comprehensive than Ji Yuan's, and the discussions and debates between the two can make the modifications more comprehensive and bring more inspiration.

Being able to discuss things with a mechanical genius of similar skill level is a pleasure for Screwllum. Especially since the Creation Engine has Himeko's inspiration for the Star Core modification, it presents a new challenge to the entire modification process.

Ji Yuan and Screwllum discussed for a long time and finally came up with a preliminary idea for the modification.

"I'll probably need to think about this some more. If I have any new ideas, I'll discuss them with you, Ji Yuan." Screwllum said, then couldn't help but add, "When do you have time to go to Screwllum's Planet? Take Herta's advice and design a lifelike robot with a catgirl appearance; it could appear on Screwllum's Planet."

"Ahem... I'll go to Screwllum's Planet sooner or later. I'll explore the entire universe thoroughly sooner or later."

"Um."

Ji Yuan then hung up the phone with Screwllum.

After he hung up the phone, Silver Wolf's message came through.

[Silver Wolf: This is the virus I just developed. You evil capitalist, don't contact me again unless it's absolutely necessary.]

[Attachment. JPG]

Ji Yuan clicked "accept" and then replied with a happy emoji.

Silver Wolf: Hmph!

After she said that, her profile picture turned black.

"How is it? Is everything going smoothly?" Firefly asked him with concern at this moment.

"Yes, Silver Wolf's technology is still very reliable. You can continue to rest here, I'll go to the underground city and bring all the robots up."

"Uh-huh."

Chapter 187 Himeko's Lap Pillow, Sushang in Danger, Celenova Attacks [8k]

"Big Brother Ji Yuan, will they be alright?"

Looking at the rows of small robots, each about half a person's height, that had appeared in front of her, Clara asked Ji Yuan, who was standing beside her, with some concern.

As she spoke, her tiny feet, which looked like little ice cream cones on the ground, twisted inwards in worry.

"Don't worry, I'll get rid of all these viruses after this is all over," Ji Yuan reassured Clara.

After offering his comfort, he smiled and asked Clara, "By the way, Clara, do you want me to give you control of those viruses? When we leave, you can become the master of all the machines in the lower city."

"No, I don't need that. They're my family, and I don't want to control them."

Clara shook her head vigorously, refusing Ji Yuan's suggestion.

She has no interest in being a leader; she just wants to spend more time with her friends.

She's such a well-behaved little girl.

Ji Yuan patted her head.

"Waaah..."

Clara let out a sob as her head was being stroked like that.

Svarog's gaze fell on Ji Yuan, his eyes filled with warning. Although he had calculated that his chances of winning against Ji Yuan were zero, he still wouldn't allow Clara to be harmed.

Ji Yuan quickly raised his hand, pretending to be harmless.

He is definitely not a lolicon.

He only likes mature, older women and would never exhibit any lolicon behavior.

Seeing Ji Yuan's actions, Svarog abandoned his plan to attack.

"Clara, we're still facing attacks from the Anti-Matter Legion outside, I have to leave now."

Seeing that the robots were obeying his commands, Ji Yuan prepared to leave. Clara followed him step by step and said to Ji Yuan, "Big brother Ji Yuan, I also want to help you on the battlefield outside. I don't want to stay here and wait for your victory in vain."

Hearing Clara say this, Ji Yuan initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he said to Clara, "Okay, you and Svarog will help the front lines transport supplies and such."

He had been thinking about how to deal with the Anti-Matter Legion.

Some have overlooked the consequences after the Anti-Matter Legion leaves. With the Anti-Matter Legion gone, the planet Jarilo -VI will no longer face major dangers. Simultaneously, the inhabitants of Belobog will begin to integrate with the rest of the universe. If they are not prepared, significant problems will inevitably arise in their future interactions with other powers in the cosmos.

If it were a company, they could ignore the residents of Belobog, because after the incident they wouldn't care what Belobog residents thought, they would just throw themselves into the factory and not allow the residents to have any self-awareness.

Ji Yuan was different; he had no interest in ruling the residents here as a local tyrant, much less acting as a babysitter for this civilization. Ultimately, the development of Jarilo -VI would have to be left to the residents themselves. The battle with the Anti-Matter Legion allowed the residents of Belobog to prepare in advance.

Even if we can't go to the front lines, we should at least unite and contribute from the rear.

Clara had no idea that Ji Yuan was thinking so much. Anyway, when she heard Ji Yuan agree that she could participate in the war that would decide the fate of Belobog, Clara couldn't help but show a happy expression.

Ji Yuan led the small robots to the place north of Belobog where the Creation Engine was located.

Upon seeing the Automaton Soldier appear, Xing and March 7th instinctively drew their weapons. Back underground, they had fought these things quite a bit, and they had caused them no shortage of minor troubles.

Ji Yuan quickly stopped the two of them.

"Stars, they're not here to attack us. These are my helpers."

"Helpers? They listen to you? How did you do that?" Seeing that these Automaton Soldier really didn't attack the people around them, Xing stopped and asked curiously.

Ji Yuan explained, "I found someone to help me develop a virus, and then used this virus to control these Automaton Soldiers."

"Ah?"

March 7th looked completely bewildered.

At this moment, Sushang Chang, who had also come over to look at the Creation Engine, patted March 7th on the shoulder.

"It's okay, don't dwell on it if you don't understand. You only didn't understand it once or twice. I follow him around every day, and I'm always confused, but I've gotten through it, haven't I?"

Seeing Sushang's instructive expression, Ji Yuan glared at her fiercely.

You've become proud of yourself, haven't you?

Sushang stuck out her tongue and quietly hid behind Jingliu.

Ji Yuan gave her another look.

After this is all over, I will teach you your academic subjects properly.

Sushang panicked instantly.

There was no time to deal with Sushang's problem right now. After threatening his younger sister Ji Yuan began modifying the Creation Engine again.

This also serves to prevent others from wasting their time here.

"Alright, Bronya, the arrangement of the defense line still needs to be discussed with you and the company's employees."

"Um."

Bronya nodded, then went with Cocolia and Seele to set up the defenses. The others also left one after another, leaving only Ji Yuan and Himeko, who were there to set up the Creation Engine.

Welt Young himself wanted to stay, but his extensive experience in setting up defenses against the Anti-Matter Legion made it unwise to waste time here.

He quietly pulled Ji Yuan aside and then said in as calm a tone as possible that if the Creation Engine lacked someone to operate it, he could come and help.

Ji Yuan found it amusing to see Welt's expression, but outwardly nodded in agreement.

After everyone left, Ji Yuan took out his computer, sat on a rock, and began programming the virus to make the small robots move.

Himeko then walked over, moved closer to Ji Yuan, bent down and brushed aside Himeko's red hair, looking at Ji Yuan's computer screen with great interest.

The mature woman brushed aside her hair, revealing her exquisite face, which was incredibly alluring. Ji Yuan also caught a whiff of her natural fragrance, and his face involuntarily flushed crimson.

I also felt a bit hot.

Ji Yuan quickly said to Himeko, "Sister Himeko, why don't you also input your modification ideas into my programming of the virus? That way, it will save a lot of effort as well."

"OK."

Himeko was also very interested in this.

Then she began to execute the improved commands on the computer.

Himeko is far less skilled in computer programming than Silver Wolf, Ji Yuan, and Screwllum, but she's not a complete novice. With Ji Yuan's guidance, she can write down whatever she wants to modify.

Ji Yuan and Himeko carried out their orders.

During the modification process, Ji Yuan made a slight adjustment. He instructed the Automaton Soldier to tamper with the Creation Engine.

Seeing this, Himeko glanced at Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan, in turn, gave her a meaningful look.
