"The old man has no interest in joking around about this kind of thing with you youngsters." Old David stretched out his hand to grab some of Chen Fei's popcorn chicken. It wouldn't be polite not to respond when someone reaches out to you. You steal my beef tenderloin, I take your popcorn chicken—no problem, this old kid... "This really is good news, I need to digest it a bit. Chen Fei, keep Mr. Sid company for now, we'll talk later." Hanna Gagel put down her glass and also disconnected the video call. Because Old David was present, there were some things she couldn't discuss with Chen Fei, so they would have to wait until the next call. Old David, suddenly curious, asked, "Jiu Defense, that name is quite unique. Did you come up with it, or did she?" He could tell that there was something special between Chen Fei and Hanna Gagel. "She did!" Chen Fei couldn't help but facepalm. Hanna always seemed unreliable when it came to stuff like this. "How did you come up with such a name?" Old David was even more curious about how the onomatopoeic name came about. Ordinary people starting a company would never think of using such a name. "Because I raised a little bird called Xiao Jiu." Chen Fei counted on his fingers; the little guy was close to completing its Advance in Rank too. "Heh, must be a clever little thing. Next time, bring it over for me to see." Old David suddenly really wanted to meet the little bird that both Chen Fei and Hanna were so fond of. "Actually, I've already brought it over; in a few days, you should be able to see it." Chen Fei downed his beer in one gulp and then opened a second can. "Where is it?" The old chap was full of question marks. "Right now, it's a ball and can't move." Chen Fei gestured with his hands; Xiao Jiu, when curled up into a feathery ball, was only slightly larger than a tennis ball. He had consulted the Urban Monster Management Center to estimate Xiao Jiu's Advance in Rank time at around fifty-six days or so. He wasn't sure how accurate this was, but by his calculations, the time should be nearing. A ball? Can't move? A foggy-headed Old David, more bewildered than ever, had no choice but to ask, "Uh! Can you tell me what exactly is Xiao Jiu?" "Xiao Jiu is a Pure Light Sparrow, currently in the process of Advancing in Rank." Chen Fei took out his cellphone and showed Old David a photo of Xiao Jiu. "Pure Light Sparrow, so it's a Magical Beast!" Old David scratched his white hair, finally understanding. The little bird with its glossy black feathers appeared to be indeed whimsical and cute. He thought to himself, no wonder the name Pure Light Sparrow sounded so familiar; he almost thought Xiao Jiu was a toy mascot or simply a cartoon image. Using a mascot as the visual identity for a company was a common tactic, which could significantly reduce advertising costs. It's a strategy often favored by small businesses. The laziest ones simply use a bitten apple; it's easy to manage without putting in too much effort. Chen Fei said with a smile, "So we have to wait a few more days." A Third-Rank Pure Light Sparrow, Xiao Jiu was really something. "There's no need for that. Just give me 20 rounds of thousand-pound high-explosive aerial bombs, and I'll level it for you in one go. You provide the bombs and fuel, I'll handle the rest—it's my way of doing a good deed." Chen Fei thumped his chest proudly, uttering his generous proposal. Who's the best at demolition in the world? Come on, that's an easy question! With the aerial bombs in hand, he wouldn't even need an hour to flatten the entire airport. "You said... aerial bombs for... demolition?" It took Old David a moment to grasp the concept. Twenty thousand-pound high-explosive aerial bombs would indeed be much cheaper than his own estimate for demolition costs. "That's right, see how simple?" Chen Fei clapped his hands together, proud of how economically sound his idea was—true to his undergraduate economics education, his calculations were sharp and tight. A thousand-pound aerial bomb with nearly 300 kilograms of explosive could destroy within a 300-meter radius. One bomb and buildings would collapse, even the foundations could be scooped clean. It was certainly quicker and cleaner than manual demolition or using engineering machinery. After dropping 20 bombs, the construction team could move right in without even needing to clear the site first. "Hehe, hehe, you sure have some unique ideas, young man!" Old David pointed at Chen Fei, chuckling to himself. Suddenly, the news channel on the display screens in the hangar interrupted its regular programming with a breaking emergency news report. The footage seemed to be captured with a high-zoom lens from a distance. In a suburban area, a multi-legged monster insect as tall as a two or three-story building suddenly leaped high into the air and pounced on an armed helicopter that was firing rockets and machine gun rounds continuously. Flames erupted violently in an explosion, destroying the helicopter and killing all on board instantly. The nearby people and vehicles were ant-sized in comparison to the monstrous insect. "A mutant attack on the economic zone? My god!" As Chen Fei saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaim. The scene was as dramatic as a special effects blockbuster, but the casualties and damage were very real. The defense forces of the economic zone were far superior to those stationed in remote and desolate aircrew bases. A barrage of bullets and shellfire from all directions formed a fierce concentrated attack on the multi-legged monster insect, which seemed to care little, casually toppling a small building as it tried to break through the encirclement. Two missiles hurtled towards the creature and smashed into it with a crash. Chen Fei speculated, "Killed it?" "No, it didn't hit!" Old David, with his sharp eyes, quickly noticed something off about the explosion of the missiles. The contour of the blast wave released wasn't right. Sure enough, before the smoke had completely cleared, the seemingly unharmed multi-legged monster insect burst out. "The supernatural power users are about to take action." Old David noticed some individuals appearing on the ground, dressed in standard-issue single soldier tactical armor, with special magic runes inscribed on the surface. With a flash of silver light—whether it was due to the camera's frame rate not keeping up, the video report's broadcasting standard, or the display screen's performance—Chen Fei and Old David only saw a flash before one of the long legs of the multi-legged monster insect mysteriously severed in the middle. Old David exclaimed loudly, "Ha, a Dimensional Slash from a Space Series user, at least a B-rank supernatural power user. Too bad the cut was off, otherwise it would've been a lethal strike, or at least severely wounded it. The precision is lacking!" B-rank supernatural power users were second only to Sovereignty-level A-rank users, powerful enough to safeguard an entire area. With the addition of other ability users, it was clear the situation was under control. Although the multi-legged monster insect was fierce, surrounded by so many ability users, it was nearly impossible for it to turn the tide. -
