Chapter 488: Chapter 263: News About the Club Recruitment
After Black finished speaking, Mu Fan saw on the tray held by the robot a neatly folded piece of clothing—
“Clothes”?
Indeed, it was clothes, about three times thicker than a regular shirt, neatly folded with a mysteriously warm luster. It wasn’t the cold feel of metal but rather carried a hint of warmth.
“Mu Fan, your flexible training suit has arrived. Try it on.”
Black said proudly.
This is the flexible training suit?
Mu Fan curiously looked at the clothing that seemed silk-like, reaching out to touch it.
It was warm, only upon touching did he realize it was made of metal.
He pinched it curiously with his fingers, trying to lift it, and Mu Fan discovered…
The suit was so heavy!
Embarrassed, two fingers weren’t enough; he outright grabbed it with his right hand and lifted.
Silently smooth, yet extraordinarily heavy in his hands!
“Why is this suit so heavy?”
“Of course it is, otherwise what would you call it a flexible training suit for? It’s made entirely of metal, feels as supple as fabric. The jacket weighs 50 kilograms, the leg straps weigh 60 kilograms. It doesn’t need a separate power supply, and it provides good heat dissipation, breathability, and exceptional protection.”
As he stroked the training suit with his hands and felt the delicate touch at his fingertips, Mu Fan took off his blood-stained Hidden Winter Fifth Generation Combat Suit and put on the new one without any hesitation.
The 50 kilograms suddenly added to his body, Mu Fan felt a pressure from his shoulders through his whole body as if the air he breathed out had become heavy.
He bent over to pull open the tactical zipper on either side of his pants and took out the leg straps, each designed in two parts for the thigh and the calf, weighing 30 kilograms each. Holding them, it was hard to imagine that these items, resembling shorts, could be so heavy.
All dressed, Mu Fan stood up and tried to walk a few steps.
His steps were noticeably heavier, his breathing needed readjustment.
The total weight of 110 kilograms added to his body was nearly twice his own.
“Am I going to train in this suit from now on?” Wearing it was equivalent to always being in a Gravity Training Room, which was totally different from his previous experience there.
“Wrong, to be precise, you’ll wear it all the time except when you’re bathing. Any product from Lord Black is of the finest quality!”
“Underwear? A hundred plus kilograms of underwear?”
Mu Fan’s tone even became strained.
“Yeah, don’t you want to become stronger?”
Stronger?
Of course, I want to become stronger!
It’s just over a hundred kilograms of underwear, so be it.
Hearing Black’s retort, Mu Fan’s eyes firmed up, and he grabbed his backpack that was beside him.
“Of course, I will keep training in it.”
…
Mu Fan’s heavy steps echoed in the factory, surrounded by an unmistakable absence of any signs of life.
The intruder had ruthlessly slain every living creature in the factory, coupled with the strong electromagnetic shield’s effect and Black’s subsequent information lockdown, the police were still unaware of the situation here.
He had never imagined a simple infiltration would turn into a battle to the death with another Slaughterer.
And to think that in the laboratory of the factory, materials related to Loki Heavy Industry’s Extreme Special Soldier had been found, and they had been analyzed for some time now.
This sudden complexity required Mu Fan to take time to sort through, but he was not yet able to tell Wang Nuonuo.
Looking up again, Mu Fan’s eyes regained clarity. He decided he would investigate these matters in secret, especially since the Extreme Special Soldier prototype had been given to him by Wang Nuonuo.
“Black, monitor the area near the main entrance. I’m preparing to leave from the main gate, destroy it in five minutes.”
Mu Fan calmly passed by the pile of gruesomely deceased bodies, seemingly oblivious to the blood’s stench that lingered in the air.
Minutes after Mu Fan’s figure disappeared into darkness,
In the smelting workshop, every piece of material inside the laboratory’s glass cabinets had been moved by robots into metal transport containers.
Those rare and hard-to-find metallic materials, the secret steel that other enterprises coveted at great expense, were just piled up like a bunch of obsolete discarded goods.
The rumble of the mechanical conveyor belt began, and the pile of laboratory materials in the transport trough slowly rose, then silently entered the induction steel furnace.
Including hundreds of analysis experiments’ raw materials being conducted by the Chade Metal Laboratory, including the Extreme Special Soldier’s Acabert Alloy, which completely melted in the induction furnace that had already been heated to 3000°C.
At the same time, two robots walked over to the control light computers of both the refining workshop and the laboratory, their mechanical pincers piercing directly into the power source.
A series of sparks appeared, and all the data storage devices short-circuited.
Then, with a humming vibration, several spherical induction steel furnaces slowly tilted, their hatches opened.
As the melted iron inside poured onto the ground with a sizzling sound, the entire workshop was instantly bathed in a glaring red glow!
Five minutes later…
Boom!
A loud explosion shook the earth, and the Chade Metal Refining Factory was engulfed in roaring flames.
A kilometer away, in the wilderness, a pair of bright black eyes quietly watched it all.
“Operation complete, all the data and traces inside the refining workshop have been thoroughly eradicated. Two-thirds of the factory has been destroyed; rebuilding would require significant funds and energy,” Black said into Mu Fan’s ear.
The final decision-maker of all these actions—Mu Fan—simply gave a nonchalant hum, then changed back into his formal attire and disguised his backpack as a briefcase.
“Black, continue monitoring Gaoling Ze, search for information related to the intruder, and arrange a place to dispose of this suit.” There was always a feeling that an invisible, mighty hand was looming over him and his companions.
And Black was the key to lifting this veil of mystery.
“Monitoring and retrieval are ongoing. In 3 minutes, a garbage truck will appear on the north side of the road ahead of you, 412 meters away.”
Mu Fan nodded slightly, then walked towards the edge of the road in front.
In the wild, there was not a single trace of footsteps or standing behind him, for Mu Fan carefully placed each step on scattered rocks.
Outside the Chad Factory, numerous police cars raced towards the scene.
…
Inside apartment 214.
Three people were engaged in intense discussion. One was only wearing red underwear, the second in ordinary light green tank top and shorts, while the last donned an expensive light coffee-colored coat.
“Guys, which club are we signing up for tomorrow?” the boy in the light green tank top asked tentatively.
“Whichever one is the most powerful, that’s where we go!” the young man in red briefs declared confidently.
“Then which clubs do you think are remarkable?” the aristocratic youth asked leisurely, savoring a sip of coffee with a smile.
“The Student Council! It’s the center of power at Dingchuan Academy, and there’s a chance to interact with the academy’s leadership,” the boy in the light green tank top said excitedly, as this was the club he had long admired.
“That awesome? Xiaoxi, you’ve done your homework~” White Hair happily shifted on the spot, ignoring the gazes from the other two. His face was turned towards them, but his eyes were fixed on the beauties on the light computer’s screen.
“Ha ha, I’ve been observing for a long time. Don’t you think so too, Young Master Gu?” Li Xiaoxi asked eagerly.
“Yawn~ I’m good with anything, just take me wherever you guys go,” Gu Yunyou replied indifferently, arching an eyebrow before elegantly taking another sip of his blueberry-flavored coffee.
“That settles it then!” Li Xiaoxi jumped up, full of fighting spirit. The magazine club was his alone, but the Student Council was truly the revered existence.
Hereafter, the path would be clear, leading to the pinnacle of life, with success within easy reach, ah ha ha ha~~
“Let’s discuss this further.” White Hair happily flipped through another photo, his face nearly plastered to the light screen.
“Let’s ask Mu Fan when he gets back,” Gu Yunyou suggested, finishing his coffee with a clear-cut decisiveness.
Li Xiaoxi, still aflame with enthusiasm, shouted, “Mu Fan, boss, come back and take charge!”
Then, a miracle happened…
With a click, Mu Fan’s figure appeared at the door.
He arrived in the image of a professional, carrying a briefcase.
He hadn’t expected that the apartment would be unusually full today; he thought he could sneak back to his bedroom unnoticed, but before he even entered, he heard Li Xiaoxi’s howl.
“You called for me?”
In his fervor, the peeping tom suddenly froze.
Hearing the sound, White Hair turned to look at Mu Fan and leaped up, exclaiming excitedly, “Holy shit, combing your hair smartly and donning a sharp suit! You’re amazing, my Fan!”
Meanwhile, Gu Yunyou watched Mu Fan, his nose twitching slightly.
