73: Section 73
Even at least three subsequent online purchases were all for Nuclear Fusion.
But what of it!
Everyone present knew very well that once China obtained controllable Nuclear Fusion, it would be a tremendous boon for everyone!
It could even directly or indirectly enhance their respective projects!
Regarding this decision, everyone unanimously approved it without question... Three days passed, and the many items Lin Bai had purchased arrived one after another.
At this time, Li Yaoyao also brought a team of National Security Bureau members to Lin Bai's doorstep and knocked on the door.
"Lin Bai, these are all professional renovation masters I contacted; their craftsmanship is excellent."
Li Yaoyao introduced the National Security Bureau members, disguised as renovators, to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai already trusted Li Yaoyao, and since he wasn't short on money anyway, he didn't ask about the price in detail and just let them start working.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble."
"Oh, all the materials are here. You can move them to the innermost room on the second floor, unpack them, and start renovating. I've already tidied up everything inside."
As he spoke, Lin Bai yawned and prepared to go back inside.
But he left the team of National Security Bureau members and Li Yaoyao dumbfounded.
Because as soon as they entered, they saw large, unopened boxes covering the floor.
Clearly, after Lin Bai received the deliveries, he had no intention of opening them himself, but rather waited for them to arrive and open them.
But... they wouldn't dare touch these deliveries!
You see, when Li Yaoyao first watched the video and discovered Lin Bai's ability, she repeatedly watched the surveillance footage frame by frame to confirm that the items inside only changed the moment Lin Bai personally opened the package!
In other words, although Lin Bai signed for these packages, the contents inside remained untouched until he opened them!
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, I apologize, but to ensure we don't accidentally damage your property, you'll need to open the packages yourself and confirm that the contents are intact before we can use them."
There was no other way, so Li Tianming, acting as the foreman, could only step forward and say with some helplessness.
Lin Bai shrugged and laughed, "Oh, don't worry, I won't charge you if you break them. Just open them casually."
β...β
Big brother, it's not about the money!
It's that if you don't do it, we wouldn't dare to. What if your ability disappears because we touched the packages? Then we would become sinners of China!
Li Tianming and the others didn't know how to refute him, so they could only look at Li Yaoyao with long faces, begging for her advice.
"This... Oh, right, Lin Bai, this is a strict order from their company boss, let's respect it!"
"Besides, if they break it when they open it, you'll have to buy it again and wait a few more days, which is even more troublesome, isn't it?"
...Chapter 74: Tense Unboxing! Controllable Nuclear Fusion! What Layer Is This?! [Begging for subscriptions!]
Chapter 74: Tense Unboxing! Controllable Nuclear Fusion! What Layer Is This?!
Lin Bai hadn't expected this renovation company to be so bound by rules.
However, thinking that if something broke, he'd have to wait a few more days, he indeed didn't want the trouble.
So he had no choice but to get a pair of scissors and prepare to open the packages himself.
Including Li Yaoyao, a total of seven people, with seven pairs of eyes, focused intently on Lin Bai's box.
Especially the National Security Bureau members; although the six who came were all high-ranking members of the National Security Bureau and had access to the highest level of classified information regarding Lin Bai's ability.
But hearing about it was one thing; apart from people of Li Yaoyao and Chief Yun's level, no one else had actually seen it.
So at this moment, they were all incredibly curious.
As Lin Bai used the tip of the scissors to cut open the seal, everyone's attention was fully drawn to it.
Swishβ
Hearing the sound of this somewhat rough action, several National Security Bureau members couldn't help but exclaim with a hint of worry:
"C-careful!"
Lin Bai heard this and felt a bit speechless.
What's wrong with these renovators?
He was opening packages, and they were watching as if some treasure was being born, their eyes practically glowing.
Even though the first box he opened clearly contained incredibly hard steel plates.
They all looked worried that he might damage it.
This was a bit... ??
Lin Bai couldn't help but look up suspiciously at the two who had exclaimed.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I was just worried you might damage the materials inside."
Li Yaoyao, fearing Lin Bai would become suspicious, quickly glared at those few, signaling them not to speak carelessly.
However, Lin Bai then turned to Li Yaoyao and said, "They won't help me, so you come and help..."
"Ah! I'm sorry, I twisted my hand and can't exert any force!"
Before Lin Bai could finish, Li Yaoyao dramatically clutched her right hand and shrieked, as if in real pain.
Lin Bai was speechless.
A circle of people surrounded him while he opened packages, but no one was helping.
What kind of shoddy renovation company is this? He'd have to give them a bad review later!
Of course, he didn't say that out loud.
But if others heard it, they would probably be torn between laughter and tears.
They really didn't want to help; if helping led to the ability becoming ineffective and they couldn't upgrade the most crucial data inside.
Then they could be considered great sinners of China!
So even with a pile of boxes there, and it being a bit troublesome for one person to open them, no one else dared to touch them.
Finally, Lin Bai spent a considerable amount of time opening all seven boxes, revealing the materials inside that had already been subtly upgraded.
950 And several large, futuristic-looking speakers he bought.
However, since the appearance of these electronic products didn't change much even after being upgraded, the main improvements were to the internal components.
So Lin Bai didn't notice anything unusual.
Instead, everyone else looked at these speakers, projectors, and other machines with great interest.
Among them were experts highly proficient in machinery, but because Lin Bai was present, to avoid revealing more, no matter how curious he was, he couldn't act recklessly.
Otherwise, two of the National Security Bureau members truly wanted to disassemble all these high-tech products on the spot and thoroughly research them.
"Phew~"
"Alright, they're all open and confirmed safe. Now you can start working, right?"
Lin Bai shook his somewhat tired hands and again spoke to the National Security Bureau team dressed in construction uniforms.
"Yes, yes!"
"Mr. Lin, we apologize, but these are truly our company's regulations. Please forgive us."
Seeing Lin Bai's slightly displeased expression, the few quickly spoke soothing words to appease him and stabilize his mood.
However, Lin Bai only found it a bit troublesome and knew that they were just workers following company rules, so he wouldn't blame them.
He handed them the design plans he had prepared earlier, clarified all the requirements, and then let them start working.
Li Tianming, acting as the captain, quickly agreed, and at the same time, secretly winked at Li Yaoyao.
Li Yaoyao understood, and as they began moving materials, she approached Lin Bai and asked, "Lin Bai, it'll be messy and noisy during the construction. How about we go out for a walk?"
"I heard there's another food street event happening in the commercial district!"
Lin Bai thought about it and agreed with the suggestion.
As for not having anyone at home to watch over things, or fear of theft, Lin Bai wasn't worried at all. After all, if anything was missing, he could just buy it again.
Moreover, he wouldn't be able to rest properly at home during the renovation.
Thinking that he hadn't left the house for almost two months, it would be a good opportunity to go out and stroll around.
However, he asked curiously, "That's a good idea, but don't you have to work today? Do you have time to go out with me?"
Upon hearing Lin Bai agree, Li Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the reason, she could just make one up.
Soon, Li Yaoyao led Lin Bai away, employing the 'lure the tiger out of its mountain lair' strategy, and they left Peach Blossom Dock.
After watching the two gradually walk away, the six National Security Bureau members finally couldn't suppress their inner excitement.
"Holy crap! Brother Ming, did you see that?! The data inside really changed directly!"
"This is my first time seeing such a miraculous ability, it's simply a miracle!"
"I personally handled and placed the data inside at the shipping location, and now, looking at it again, the content is completely different!"
"Although the leaders told us about this before, seeing it for myself still feels somewhat unbelievable!"
This time, because there was a lot of data inside, the total number of data copies in all the boxes added up to over seven hundred pages.
If Lin Bai were present, they would have difficulty retrieving them.
This was why Li Yaoyao had to lead Lin Bai away.
"Collect all the data. Ah Qiang and Xiao Da, you two are responsible for escorting it back. You must deliver all the data safely into Chief Yun's hands!
"Remember, this data is more precious than your lives!"
