71: Section 71

To explain it using a certain anime, even the most demanding person would have their clothes explode into shreds after just one bite!

"Mmm—"

Patting her stomach, which was so full it looked like she was three months pregnant, Li Yaoyao let out a satisfied sigh.

"I originally thought you bought so much that it would definitely go to waste, but I didn't expect it to actually be finished."

Lin Bai looked at the plates on the dining table, which had been swept clean by her like a storm, not even a scrap of meat left. He said helplessly, "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be finished either. I was thinking of buying more for my meal tomorrow so I wouldn't have to bother buying it again."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyao embarrassedly stuck out her tongue.

After eating and drinking her fill, she finally remembered that she had come here with a mission.

Taking advantage of their post-meal chat, she subtly asked, "By the way, Lin Bai, it's been over a month, you must have saved up quite a few cardboard boxes, right? Can I take them with me when I leave later?"

Of course, she actually knew that he didn't have any cardboard boxes at all, since if Lin Bai placed an order, she would receive the notification immediately.

However, it had already been over a month since his last online purchase.

It was precisely because of this that Li Yaoyao had been specifically dispatched to approach Lin Bai and check on the situation.

Of course, that incredibly rare bottle of Guojiao 1573 was indeed a personal gift from Chief Yun; that much was true.

Watching her, having just finished eating and drinking like a storm, immediately turn around and ask him for cardboard boxes, Lin Bai felt even more that Li Yaoyao's life was truly impoverished.

However, he still shook his head helplessly.

"Sorry, no cardboard boxes this time."

"I've basically bought everything I need. Now I have enough food, drink, and clothing, and I have all the appliances and such."

"As for the boxes, you should ask the other residents. Isn't Peach Blossom Dock having more and more people moving in recently? They should have quite a few boxes they can give you."

Li Yaoyao felt somewhat helpless.

She didn't actually want the cardboard boxes; what good would asking others do!

However, Lin Bai then added, "By the way, there is something I wanted to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yaoyao quickly sat up straight. This was Lin Bai making such a formal inquiry to her, and she was afraid of missing something important.

Lin Bai asked tentatively, "Right, you are the property management here, I wanted to ask, I can renovate this villa of mine as I please, right?"

Hearing this, Li Yaoyao panicked inside, thinking that he had discovered the surveillance in the villa or that there was something amiss.

She quickly asked, "Ah? What's wrong with the villa? Are you not satisfied with living there?"

Fortunately, Lin Bai just pointed to the room upstairs and said, "This villa has five large rooms. I use one for sleeping, one for my computer, and the remaining three have been empty."

"I've been watching movies on my computer lately, and it suddenly feels underwhelming, but I'm too lazy to go out to the cinema."

"So I thought, why not just turn one of the rooms into a home theater."

So that was it...

Li Yaoyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as their National Security Bureau's contact with Lin Bai wasn't exposed, then it was fine.

"Of course you can, but... isn't a home theater just buying a projector?"

Li Yaoyao asked somewhat uncertainly.

Lin Bai laughed, "That's an average home theater, but I'm different."

"If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it the best way. Renovate the ceiling, add some ambient lighting, then buy a sound system. Oh, and these ordinary high-end walls aren't soundproof, so it won't be good if it gets too noisy. I'll change the walls into soundproof walls too."

"With all that, it's not something that can be solved by just buying a few things. I was thinking, why not just call a professional to come over and set everything up for me, solving it all at once with no worries!"

Fine, she really didn't understand the world of the rich!

Seeing that Lin Bai was so particular, Li Yaoyao didn't know what to say.

However, she felt that this whole thing was too troublesome.

If outsiders were allowed in, they might discover some clues.

It would be better to have their National Security Bureau send someone directly to help set it up!

Thinking of this, Li Yaoyao offered, "That's doable. I can help you recommend a renovation contractor; the results are very good!"

She knew Lin Bai's personality: if he could save himself one troublesome task, he would absolutely not do one extra thing.

As expected, Lin Bai immediately agreed to let Li Yaoyao help him contact a contractor.

However, as Lin Bai made more and more requests, it looked like a major construction project, and he even needed to buy quite a lot of materials to renovate the house.

Originally, these materials would require Lin Bai and the contractor to go to some construction markets to purchase.

But Li Yaoyao suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity.

She quickly said, "By the way, Lin Bai, you can actually buy everything you need for the renovation directly online!"

"Once all the materials arrive, I'll have the contractor come over to help you with the renovation!"

"This saves time and effort, and you don't have to bother going out to the building materials market!"

Hearing this, Lin Bai was stunned.

"Oh?"

"You can do that? That's a pretty good idea!"

Lin Bai immediately opened his phone and did a search, and found that there were indeed soundproof walls available for direct purchase!

After thinking about it, he felt this was a good method and started placing orders like crazy.

Soundproof walls, ambient lighting, large sound system, large curtains, high-end projector...

He placed orders for seven or eight items in one go.

Li Yaoyao, standing nearby, was stunned.

Good grief.

He either doesn't buy anything, or when he does, he buys so much at once?

Perhaps it was really because he had drunk quite a bit at the dining table, and the slightly tipsy Lin Bai didn't hold back at all when buying things.

However, this just happened to mean she had perfectly completed her mission!

"Seven or eight online purchases!"

"I wonder how much unimaginable improvement China will gain this time!"

Thinking of this, Li Yaoyao couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl upwards!

Chapter 73: The Data Needed for Return This Time! Nuclear Fusion Project!!

Special Decision Group Conference Room.

The members, including the five major research institutes, the National Security Bureau, and the Military Region Leader, had gathered together again after a long time.

Since the combustible ice mining technology, the subsequent five times had all been given to the two projects: the application of combustible ice and chip manufacturing.

Until all the technologies related to these two projects, from basic to cutting-edge, had been perfected.

During this period, Chief Yun had always directly ordered the completion of the enhanced content.

And now that these two projects were sufficiently perfected, the rest just needed to be handed over to the project's researchers to execute.

Therefore, this time, Chief Yun had re-gathered all the members to discuss the choice for the next major project.

"Old Yun, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for your notification to gather!"

"Exactly, I've been waiting so eagerly!"

"Watching Academician Li and Dr. Wang's projects climbing higher and higher, thriving day by day, I've been hoping every day that it would be our turn for our projects to get an upgrade too."

"Who isn't? The asthma medicine in our Medical Science Academy that Lin Bai personally upgraded is almost used up, yet we still haven't been able to perfectly replicate it. I really want Lin Bai to buy more cold medicine and give our Medical Science Academy a chance."

"You Medical Science Academy and the Second and Third Research Institutes have already taken off, but our First, Fourth, and Fifth research projects haven't had a single one!"

"Especially Academician Li's Second Research Institute project; they have rare earth technology, and they have combustible ice technology!"

"No matter what, Academician Li, you can't compete with us this time!"

After all, such an opportunity was incredibly rare, and the group of academicians from the research institutes gathered together, scrambling to grab the quota for the next project.

As for Academician Li, because he had received attention multiple times, both his own project and his personal reputation and status in society had improved, which made the others envious.

"That won't do. We listen to Chief Yun. If Chief Yun wants to give the project to us, we can't refuse, can we?"

Because Academician Li had received multiple opportunities for upgrades, he was in a great mood.

However, he would certainly not easily give up the chance to let his project achieve a major breakthrough.

He turned to look at Chief Yun and kicked the problem over to him.

"Before we talk about that, Director Chen, there is something I need you to arrange first."

Chief Yun did not answer, but looked at Director Chen of the National Security Bureau on the side, then continued:

"Lin Bai's purpose this time is to convert a room into a home theater. For the sake of safety, arrange for your people to go in and follow up on this matter."

"Take this opportunity to help Lin Bai install some security equipment in his home. You must ensure that Lin Bai's identity and abilities are not discovered by outsiders or enemies!"

After hearing this, Director Chen nodded solemnly.

Lin Bai's safety was now one of the top priorities for China.

There absolutely could not be any mistakes here.

The point was that this protection also had to be carried out in secret, which increased the difficulty of the protection.

But fortunately, Lin Bai's personality was relatively laid-back, and he didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with the outside world, so he wasn't that easy to attract attention to, which lightened the burden of their protection.

"Understood, Chief Yun. I will arrange for people to go to the building materials market immediately to purchase a batch of the strongest materials. I will definitely build Lin Bai's room into the safest room!"

However, Chief Yun shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Lin Bai has already purchased all the necessary materials and equipment online himself. You just need to go over and help install them when the time comes."
