Chapter 19: Change of Plans, Institute Begins Construction

  With the help of his electronic camouflage suit, Muxin Xing returned to his villa smoothly. As soon as he entered the house, Lao Xia and Lao Zhou had already prepared various celebratory foods, all of which were ordered takeout.

  Facing Xue Chen who was sitting in front of the dinner table, Lao Xia immediately handed him a cup of beer and smiled: "Safe arrival! Congratulations! Let's have a drink first!"

  Old Zhou on the other side also spoke with a delighted face: "Let's have a drink first! This time it was really hard work!"

  Facing the congratulations of Old Xia and Old Zhou, Muxin Xing raised his head and drank the beer in his hand in one gulp. He then let out a sigh and said, "This transaction was really too dangerous. The government didn't have any good intentions. Those few people who blocked me this time claimed to be police officers, but judging from their skills, I suspect they were actually agents from the National Security Bureau. Luckily my strength has increased greatly, otherwise I would have been caught for sure."

  Upon hearing Mu Chen Xing's words, Old Zhou put down the beer in his hand and nodded in agreement: "Yes! After hearing the news you brought back, I was worried for a while along with Old Zhou. It seems we underestimated the appeal of this release's technology. The government really sending out the National Security Bureau is also within reason, if they find our real address, I'm afraid it won't take long before a large group of police and special agents will be at our doorstep in no time, and none of us will have a good ending!"

  What Lao Xia said is indeed a fact, for people like them who recklessly sell military technology online, they are key targets to be cracked down on in various countries around the world. If caught by the government, those with skills will be taken away by the government to work honestly for the country in exchange for their continued existence, while those without skills who only engage in trafficking basically become missing persons.

  As the two began to discuss their encounter with Mu Chen Xing during today's transaction, Old Zhou also calmed down and said: "The trading plan for Friday must be changed. It seems that our plan to engage in technical transactions with governments of various countries is still too risky. Moreover, compared to the cunning governments of various countries, we three are indeed a bit too tender, thinking that following the plot of the movie would allow us to complete the transaction smoothly!

  "What about the base's development afterwards? That would require a huge amount of money to support such a massive project, and secrecy is also extremely important, right? If we casually ask people to build the base, the risk of exposure would be enormous."

  Lao Zhou smiled and began to analyze: "I think the construction of the secret base should be put on hold for now, in the future, a large amount of various building materials and related equipment will be needed! If we buy them domestically, such a huge quantity would easily arouse the government's vigilance. At the same time, some high-tech equipment in the base cannot be purchased through normal channels, some special high-tech experimental equipment are all controlled by developed countries in Europe and America, even if we have the money, others won't sell to us!

  Because next time you enter the movie world, at the first opportunity, in those places that plunder various future base construction materials and some advanced research equipment that we cannot get in reality! As for the technology obtained later, it must not be traded online again.

  Indeed, after Mu Chen Xing and his friends establish their secret base, they will need a huge amount of resources. If they buy them in the real world, it would not only be expensive but also easily arouse suspicion. However, in the movie world, Mu Chen Xing can plunder the resources they need with his storage ring without worrying about arousing any suspicion, and he will return to the real world once time is up.

  In the face of Lao Zhou's analysis, Muxun Xing was very much in agreement and nodded in consent: "This is also good! After all, making deals with the government is like playing with fire. However, we'll still sell our bio-electric technology to them. No matter what, they're the big bosses, and we have to give the country some face."

  And the Americans have already obtained the technology of the propulsion system, now we need the government to use bio-electric current technology to develop weapons to counter the American's upcoming mech advantage! Only then can we see a balance that is in our favor."

  At this time, Old Xia suddenly said: "Everyone has decided not to build a base for the time being, but the institute must be established as soon as possible. The things we put in the villa are really too easy to arouse suspicion from others."

  Mudustar smiled and said, "This is also good! The old factory building over there can be put into use after some minor renovations! Anyway, we currently have a large sum of funds on hand, so let's focus on setting up the research institute first! As for the renovation work, I have a friend from my national arts society whose family is in the construction business. Why don't I go contact them tomorrow?"

  Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Alright! I'll get together with Lao Xia tonight to list out the requirements and details for the renovation. Tomorrow you can bring them over together. For now, let's continue celebrating today's victory!"

  Mudanxing heard Lao Zhou say this, and immediately refilled his cup with beer, raised it towards Lao Xia and Lao Zhou, and said excitedly: "Lao Zhou is right, now let's toast to our 850 million!"

  "Cheers!" "Cheers!" Old Zhou and Old Xia simultaneously raised their cups in excitement.

  For the three of them, this money was the first start-up capital to establish their own private forces, so they had to celebrate properly. So the three began to let go and happily enjoy the celebratory food.

  The next day, Muxin Xing arrived at the home of his friend Qiyuan in the National Arts Society. He had called the night before. Qiyuan's father, Qitianlie, was a well-known builder in Lushan City and often accepted various construction contracts, with rich experience in renovating houses.

  When Mudan Xing entered Qiyuan's home, he found that Qiyuan and his mother were not at home. He heard from his father Qi Tianlie that the two had gone back to their hometown together.

  After sitting down in the living room, Muxin Xing took out the renovation plan book and design drawings of the old factory buildings that Lao Xia and Lao Zhou had sorted out last night, and politely said to Qitian Lie: "Uncle Qitian, these materials are the detailed information about the factory we discussed on the phone last night. Please take a look!"

  Qitian Lie took the materials with one hand and smiled at Muxu Xing, saying: "I didn't expect you to be so well-prepared, little Mu! Alright, I'll take a look at these materials first, you go ahead and have some tea!"

  After finishing speaking, Qi Tianlie began to seriously look at the materials brought by Mu Chenxing. For these engineering people, it is very important to clearly understand the detailed information of the project to be carried out.

  After about half an hour, Zitian Lie finally finished reading all the materials. However, he didn't speak up immediately, but instead thought for a few more minutes before speaking to Muxin Xing in a very serious tone: "Little Mu, you are my nephew's friend and also my junior, so I'll be straightforward with you - it's best if you don't invest in that area. In the past, someone had planned to buy that place for development, but later the geological bureau found that there were large cave groups underground, which posed safety hazards due to the geological structure. The traffic conditions there are also very inconvenient. That's why no one has invested there all these years."

  Seeing Qitian Lie's kind reminder, Muxu Xing felt very happy in his heart. Qitian Lie was willing to remind him that he really regarded him as his own junior to take care of. However, the thing that had no value in other people's eyes happened to have an irreplaceable role for Muxu Xing.

  Mudanxing smiled and said to Qitianlie: "Thank you, Uncle Qi, for reminding me. I just wanted to do some external maintenance and internal partial renovation of that abandoned chemical plant. The big mountain there has already been packaged, and it's suitable for developing characteristic breeding industry on the mountain! Other requirements should have been seen by Uncle Qi in the materials, so I won't say more. Uncle Qi, take a look at this plan, roughly how much money is needed? When can it be completed?"

  Seeing Mu Chen Xing's confidence, Qi Tian Lie stopped persuading him and thought for a moment before saying: "Little Mu, the renovation of the house won't cost too much money! However, the large cold storage warehouse on top and some other laboratories, as well as the large backup power generator, might be more expensive! As for the time, if you're in a hurry, it'll take at least a month! This is only possible if we renovate within the existing building; otherwise, it will take longer! The total cost will likely be around 50 million, which is no small sum!"

  After hearing Chi Tianlie's words, Mu Chenxing immediately said without thinking: "The money aspect is not a problem, I believe this plan will definitely have a future. As for the purchase of cold storage and other equipment, I would also like to ask Uncle Qi to help me get it done together, and please help me complete these projects as soon as possible!"

  "Since you've spoken up, Uncle has to help out, right? Compared to you, that Qi Yuan kid is far inferior! Now he's busy day and night with his martial arts training, I really don't understand what the point of it all is. It's not like it can be eaten as rice. But look at you, starting your own business now! Your dad is truly blessed!"

  Mudanxing felt a bit embarrassed by Qitianlie's words, so he quickly stood up and humbly said: "Uncle Qitian, don't say that, Qiyuan is just temporarily indulging in playfulness, after graduation, the situation will be greatly different!"

  After glancing at the clock on the wall, Muxin Xing said to Qitian Lie politely: "Then I'll transfer the money this afternoon. When that's done, please help me finish these things as soon as possible, Uncle Qi. I won't disturb your rest anymore, so I'll take my leave first!"

  Mudan Xing was about to leave when Qitian Lie called out to stop her, "Xiao Mudan, what's the hurry? Can't you stay for dinner before leaving?"

  "No, Uncle Qī, I still have other things to attend to, so I won't stay long now. Let's eat again next time. I'll leave first, goodbye!"

  Zhitian Lie thought that Ximu Xing might really have something else to attend to, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore and said: "If you're busy then we'll catch up next time! I'll let you know when the project starts! Take care!"

  After bidding farewell to Zitian Lie, Muxin Xing immediately rushed towards his home. The renovation plan of the institute can be said to have officially started now, and the three people's plan has taken a big step forward.

  At the same time, in several wards of the municipal hospital, several national security agents who were injured after a fight with Mudanxing in a small alley yesterday are all lying here now.

  Director Zhou personally examined the injuries of his team members and then inquired about their encounter with that guy who was recklessly selling information, after which his expression began to turn solemn.

  The national security agent's skills were extremely clear, ordinary people were not his opponent at all. However, this time several national security agents were quickly knocked down by one person, and one of the agents was even deflected by the opponent wearing a special glove on his hand after firing at the target.

  This means that the other party has actually developed and utilized equipment using biochemical currents! So Friday's transaction is extremely important for them, this technology must be grasped in the government's hands.
