Qi Ji poked Ning Yu's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Is Brother Gu always like this?"
"He thinks of such big things without a word?"
Ning Yu retracted her hand, stared askance at Qi Ji, and whispered disdainfully, "What do you know? Who, like you, only knows how to fiddle with mechas."
Qi Ji was speechless. Ning Yu was still angry with him, so he needed to figure out what "Walongke" was as soon as possible.
At this moment, Bai Zhanhen expressed his concern: "Not to mention the countries in the Southern Hemisphere that have not yet been invaded by the Black Star, the countries in the Northern Hemisphere are also difficult to win over."
"As far as I know, the major continents in the Northern Hemisphere are scattered."
"Even if they get the intelligence, they may not buy our account."
Gu Ya said confidently, "They will, but the prelude must be sufficient."
"Prelude..." Yoda murmured, licking his lips, his thoughts drifting to indescribable places.
Holding Wang Shangmeng's hand, he tightened his grip. /
Liang Yuwei said, "Gu Ya, you mean to start with the countries that are friendly?"
Gu Ya nodded and said, "Three men talking make a tiger! Of course, this 'tiger' must be a real 'tiger' to be convincing."
"Not only that, I plan to give this intelligence as 'peaches'."
"Give a little, and the benefits are enough. Naturally, many people will want it, and countries will come to ask us."
Liang Yuwei stroked his chin, nodded, and said lightly, "An overt scheme... What was that phrase again?"
"Two peaches kill three officials," Wu Ji said faintly.
Everyone was surprised.
They didn't expect Wu Ji to know this idiom.
"That's right," Gu Ya affirmed, "Two peaches kill three officials. Brother Wu Ji has great learning."
"But I don't want to kill them, but to stir up trouble."
"If Xianxia were willing to support us, we wouldn't need the other countries in the world."
"But the people of Xianxia have been too complacent, and their thinking is pedantic and conservative. It is out of desperation that I came up with this plan."
Everyone nodded.
Gu Ya's thoughts flew back to Wu He City.
If Xian Wangchuan were by his side now, with his strategy, he would surely come up with a better solution.
It seemed that after a while, he should ask for his opinion.
After all, he was the strategist.
"Gu Ya, how exactly should it be implemented?" Bai Zhanhen asked.
Everyone looked at Gu Ya in unison.
Gu Ya pondered for a moment, decided to contact Xian Wangchuan first, and said, "Let me think about it again. That's all for today."
"Everyone, you've worked hard these past few days. Get some good rest."
"Perhaps in a while, we will have to go our separate ways to save the world."
"Brother Wu Ji, please stay and camp here."
Wu Ji nodded slightly and no longer refused.
After the meeting, everyone crowded around Wu Ji as they left the conference room,
Compliments on his handsome appearance were endless.
It seemed that humanity's yearning for beauty never changed.
In the conference room, only Gu Ya, Ye Ying, and Qi Ji remained.
Qi Ji tugged at Ye Ying's cuff and asked in a low voice, "Sister Ying, what exactly is Walongke?"
Ye Ying covered her mouth and smiled, "You're finally enlightened, but this is also the first time I've heard Gu Ya mention this word."
"They are both divine power users, their master and disciple. Who knows if there's some mental connection?"
"Why don't you ask Gu Ya directly?"
Qi Ji was slightly surprised and quickly said, "Sister Ying, aren't you afraid that Brother Gu and Sister Ning..."
Qi Ji's words were direct but honest. He always said what he thought.
Ye Ying shook her head and smiled sweetly, "I trust my husband."
Qi Ji, who was caught off guard by the display of affection, exclaimed, "Ew~"
He looked at Gu Ya, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the sea in thought, and decided not to disturb Brother Gu.
However, Qi Ji quickly came up with another good idea.
He smiled charmingly at Ye Ying and ran out.
Ye Ying watched his long legs run merrily and sighed, "Youth is wonderful."
"What?" Gu Ya turned his head and asked, "Aren't we young?"
"Who wouldn't want to stay 18 forever?" Ye Ying said with a faint smile.
"By the way, what exactly is Walongke? I've never heard you mention it."
Gu Ya smiled mischievously and said, "There is no 'Walongke.' I was teasing Qi Ji."
"This child can't always be so dense..."
Ye Ying's expression froze for a moment, and then she put on a look of "I'll hold you accountable," followed by a helpless smile, "Qi Ji is so innocent! How could you lie to him? You're so mean."
"Mean, am I?" Gu Ya smiled wickedly and walked towards Ye Ying, beginning to unbutton his collar.
"Did you see Sister Yoda's expression when I mentioned 'prelude' earlier? Hehe..."
"Get away!" Ye Ying pretended to be angry and said, "Go change your body back quickly!"
"If you're in a synthetic body, don't even think about touching me."
Gu Ya stopped halfway, only then remembering that he was still in a state of consciousness separation, and pursed his lips in frustration.
"Alright, I'll listen to my wife."
"Perfect. While my consciousness is returning, I'll communicate with Brother Xian and refine the plan further."
"I'll accompany you." Ye Ying stood up, linked her arm with Gu Ya's, and leaned into his embrace.
......
Qi Ji barged into Bai Zhanhen's room. As soon as he entered, he saw him playing chess with Shu Rou.
Without any preamble, Qi Ji asked loudly, "Bai Zhanhen, do you know what 'Walongke' is?"
Bai Zhanhen stared at the holographic chessboard and murmured, "I don't know... Hmm... are you going to checkmate me?"
Shu Rou laughed generously, "You only just noticed! Haha!"
Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Qi Ji immediately turned and went to the next room, shouting, "Master Liang, what is Walongke?"
Liang Yuwei's right arm had been removed and placed on the desktop.
He was meticulously using his left hand to hold a small oil can and lubricate the joints of his mechanical arm.
He said, "I'm not too sure, uh... cigarettes?"
Qi Ji shook his head. How could Ning Yu like cigarettes?
He then turned to Wang Shangmeng's door. Before he could knock, he heard Yoda's faint gasps from inside.
"Uh... I'd better not disturb them!"
"Then what should I do? I'm the only one free in the whole world right now. I can't possibly ask Ning Yu, that would be too degrading!"
"Walongke, I refuse to believe I can't find you!"
At this moment, Ning Yu
was lying on the bed, recalling Wu Ji's peerless beauty, and said with infatuation, "If Wu Ji became an idol, I would definitely be his most loyal fan!"
As she thought, Ning Yu felt a wave of weakness surging from her chest to her brain!
This weakness instantly stimulated her brain nerves,
and then spread throughout her body.
One moment Ning Yu was spirited, the next her eyes were vacant.
"It's happening again..."
"Ah... depressive phase... I don't want to do anything... or move..."
Those tragic past memories flooded back,
Her dead sister, the stranger uncle who lost his beloved daughter because of her, the beloved boy she killed with her own hands in the rain.
The scenes of her comrades, who had fought alongside her and faced death together, all perishing miserably.
And in the final battle, Haiduo's terrifying power, which left her unable to resist.
These memories were like huge nets, tightly ensnaring Ning Yu, leaving her immobile.
"The world is waiting for me to save it, but I ran away..."
"I'm so useless..."
"I'm a waste... a waste..."
"If I could die... maybe everything would be over..."
Now, Ning Yu didn't even have the strength to cry.
She remained lying on her back motionless the entire afternoon.
The sunlight faded, the night descended, and the room was dark.
Her vacant eyes stared into the darkness, as if she were dead.
"This room doesn't even have a hook to hang myself..."
"What hope is there for the future..."
"Even if I find a way to kill Haiduo..."
"It's better to..."
Ning Yu gathered the last of her strength, slowly got up, walked to the window, and slowly opened it.
A faint evening breeze carried the scent of the sea, sweet and slightly metallic, as if blood were flowing in the air.
She slowly raised her foot, stepped onto the windowsill, clutched the window frame, and looked down.
Her eyes were hollow and vacant,
Her consciousness plunged into the abyss of despair,
She could already imagine what would happen in the next few seconds.
"While someone still loves me... I'll die..."
"Master... Mistress... I..."
"CRASH!!" A loud bang,
The room door was violently kicked open!
The sudden rush of turbulent air blew the weak Ning Yu back into the room, landing her on her bottom, four limbs flailing!
Qi Ji rushed in with a large bag of items, picked up Ning Yu, and various gift bags scattered all over the room.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to die!" Qi Ji yelled in panic.
Ning Yu said weakly, "What are you panicking about... I wasn't going to jump..."
"Still saying you weren't going to jump? If I had come a second later, you would have fallen!" Qi Ji shouted.
"Idiot." Ning Yu weakly tilted her head and said, "I'm a divine power user, the system will save me..."
"What did you bring?"
"Walongke!" Qi Ji shouted joyfully, "Brother Gu said you like Walongke!"
"So I bought everything on the market labeled 'Walongke'!!"
"Walongke disinfectant, Walongke tarts, Walongke beer, Walongke shoe brushes, and... Ta-da! I guess you'll like this one!"
As Qi Ji spoke, he picked up a huge and strange stuffed toy, saying, "Walongke giant plush doll!!"
"It simulates human voices! Listen!"
Qi Ji excitedly patted the doll's head, and the doll immediately made Qi Ji's voice: "Sister Ning, be happier!"
The doll repeated the words like a tape recorder and performed an unsightly dance in place.
Ning Yu stared blankly,
Suddenly,
Ning Yu cupped her hands over her stomach and laughed heartily, "My God! How can there be such an ugly doll!!!"
"Hahahaha, what kind of aesthetic sense do you have!!!"
"Huh?" Qi Ji was stunned. Ning Yu's words were like a blow that shattered his fantasy.
He had expected Ning Yu to happily say "Thank you!" upon seeing Walongke.
"You don't like it? Brother Gu said you really liked Walongke!" Qi Ji asked blankly.
Ning Yu immediately understood that her mischievous master must have been teasing Qi Ji to coax her.
"Mmm..." Ning Yu tried hard to calm her emotions,
raised her small face, showed a sweet smile, and said, "I don't like it, but thank you, Brother Qi Ji."
"On the contrary, you... Pfft!! You successfully made me laugh, hahahaha!!!"
