After finalizing the negotiations for the lithography machines and personally seeing the four pieces of scrap metal onto the cargo ship, Meng Hao's business in Hawaii was largely concluded.
There were no return flights in the afternoon; he had to wait until past nine o'clock the next morning.
Back at his hotel, Meng Hao immediately accessed the system.
Right.
He had considered it when inspecting the goods earlier and decided to exchange for body-strengthening medicine from the system store.
After all, that great person had said, a healthy body is the capital for revolution. A strong physique and a developed brain were indispensable prerequisites for a career in scientific research.
Right.
The system was amazing.
Meng Hao had indeed picked out a decent "little blue pill."
It strengthened the physique and expanded the brain's capacity.
As for the price, it was a bit steep!
Hmm.
But.
Meng Hao was already accustomed to it.
This damned system was always taking advantage of crises.
Three thousand tech points were spent.
It was still the familiar black void.
A gleaming pill appeared before Meng Hao.
Hmm.
It smelled good.
Without a second word, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Good heavens.
As expected of a system product.
This pill, manufactured from unknown ingredients, instantly unleashed a scalding heat throughout his body after being swallowed.
Not long after.
Meng Hao, feeling as if he had undergone a metamorphosis, went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.
Huh?
Externally, his body hadn't changed at all!
However, his mind felt much clearer. The specific details for modifying the lithography machine, which he had previously jotted down on paper, were now as if etched into his mind.
"Hmm."
"It was intended to expand brain capacity anyway. As for a robust physique, that's a less important bonus condition."
"I'll find time to test my physical fitness at the gym after returning to China."
...
It was still early.
Since there was nothing else to do, Meng Hao took out a selfie stick from his suitcase, intending to show his viewers the exotic scenery.
Right.
Indeed.
Qin Muyan, ever the professional, was still diligently streaming.
However.
Meng Hao's "sudden disappearance" for the past few days had made the stream somewhat monotonous, relying solely on Qin Muyan's good looks.
Meng Hao, the main character, was absent; the hype surrounding the mech incident had also largely died down.
The trolls and haters were waiting for news on whether Meng Hao had secured the lithography machines before deciding how to humiliate him.
However.
He Yuedang, the leader of the trolls, was already convinced by the assurances of the white Westerner Bob that Meng Hao would return in defeat and face their comprehensive smear campaign.
"Hey!"
"Everyone."
"Haven't seen you in days, I've missed you all so much!"
Meng Hao was in a good mood.
After entering the stream, he immediately went live with Qin Muyan.
My goodness.
As expected.
As soon as Meng Hao, the main character, appeared.
The previously somewhat somber stream instantly became exceptionally lively.
"Wow, Brother Hao!"
"You're finally here!"
"We thought you couldn't bear the humiliation and had defected!"
"..."
The bullet comments in the stream began to scroll wildly again, almost obscuring the screen.
"Tsk!"
"Running off to Hawaii without a word."
"If Uncle Chenghua hadn't told me, I would have thought you got lost!"
Qin Muyan clearly had a bit of a temper.
However.
Emotions aside, work was work.
She still maximized Meng Hao's window.
Enough for everyone in the stream to see the foreign scenery behind Meng Hao.
"Heh heh."
"I had to leave in a hurry!"
"Don't worry, I'll bring you back some fruit!"
Having secured the lithography machines, Meng Hao was in high spirits.
He appeased Qin Muyan with a chuckle and prepared to shift the stream's attention to the beach scenery of Hawaii.
"Tsk!"
"Who cares about your silly fruit!"
"Just don't come back wearing a few green hats."
Qin Muyan muttered softly to herself.
"Huh?"
"The streamer Mech Ji is jealous!"
"She seems to be telling Brother Hao not to wear green hats!"
"Holy crap, when did Brother Hao get together with Mech Ji?"
"Well, aren't they always streaming together... and, I can vaguely see a bed behind Mech Ji in the stream... tired from streaming, a man and a woman, sparks flying, what do you think happened!"
"Hahaha."
"Now that's the real content; Brother Hao never streams!"
"So stingy!"
The viewers teased Meng Hao with laughter.
This made Qin Muyan blush deeply.
After a brief period of joking about their non-existent relationship.
The viewers' attention finally shifted back to Meng Hao.
"Whoa, Brother Hao, you're really in Hawaii right now!"
"It's really warm there, I'm already preparing to wear thermal underwear, but Brother Hao is still in a breezy short-sleeved shirt and shorts!"
"Let's skip the useless stuff... Brother Hao, the haters have been hounding you a lot these past few days... Speaking of which, have you managed to get the lithography machine?"
After all.
The biggest draw was still the lithography machine.
You must know.
Even though not even the state could manage the acquisition of high-precision lithography machines, many true fans still hoped Meng Hao would succeed.
Regarding this.
Meng Hao just chuckled.
"You guess!"
Seeing Meng Hao's casual demeanor.
The viewers' excitement soared.
"Damn."
"Looks like there's hope."
"Brother Hao, can you give us a definite answer?"
"My curiosity is killing me."
Meng Hao blinked.
Looking at Qin Muyan, who was still pouting, he suppressed the answer that was about to escape his lips.
Hmm.
The "Dare to Stream" channel had always been carried by Qin Muyan.
He, the boss of the company, had never provided any support.
"You can guess!"
"Mech Ji, why don't we have a prize guessing game!"
"Viewers who guess correctly can participate in a lucky draw, how about it?"
Hmph!
Qin Muyan furrowed her beautiful nose, understanding that Meng Hao was trying to boost her stream's popularity.
However.
She wasn't easily appeased after he suddenly ran off to Hawaii without even informing her.
"How about this."
"We'll set up 10 spots, drawn from the correct guessers."
"Each person will receive a 50,000 yuan shopping card."
My goodness.
Brother Hao is so generous.
In other streams, they usually give away phones or computers.
Brother Hao just throws out fifty thousand yuan at once.
"Don't rush."
"There's more."
"How about a signed photo of me and Mech Ji?"
Although Meng Hao was a hands-off boss who didn't bother with personnel management, he understood that making his employees happy would boost Qin Muyan's initiative and encourage her to be more engaged in her work!
"Wow!"
"Brother Hao still says he's not involved with the streamer."
"They're even doing signed photos together."
"Sincerely envious of Brother Hao!"
"..."
After another wave of commotion.
Finally, a viewer asked the crucial question.
"Brother Hao, when are you going to do the lucky draw?"
"Will it be on Bilibili or your other social media accounts?"
"Damn, getting a chance to win fifty thousand yuan is making me feel so pumped!"
