Chapter 197 Inhuman and Outrageous, Even Netizens Have Been Requisitioned?

Li Jiajun's rhetorical question, filled with such innocence and confusion, caused tons of damage in this cramped space reeking of toilet cleaner.

The air seemed to freeze.

Those top Experts, who had originally been immersed in the ecstasy of discovering new technology, now looked like ducks being strangled, their faces flushed and eyes darting around.

Especially the Old Expert who had just been rambling on about how difficult "dynamic optical stealth" was; he felt his face burning with pain now.

It was too heartbreaking.

Truly too heartbreaking.

They were the pillars of the nation, top-tier scientists enjoying special subsidies, with the most advanced laboratories and endless funding at their disposal.

To overcome the subject of "optical stealth under dynamic deformation," their entire team had pulled so many all-nighters, lost so much hair, and some had even ended up in the hospital because of it.

And the result?

They hadn't even produced a decent prototype to this day.

Yet, the twenty-something-year-old toy factory director before them told them in a tone that suggested "I just did it casually" that he had already finished it.

And the reason was actually to "avoid embarrassment while using the toilet"?

This kind of technical crushing, combined with the absurdity of the reason, constituted a devastating blow to their careers.

It was like a group of martial arts masters competing at Mount Hua for the title of the world's best, only for a janitor sweeping nearby to casually knock them all down with a broom, and then say apologetically: "Sorry, I just use this broom to sweep up fallen leaves; I didn't realize you were so fragile."

It was simply a dimensionality-reduction attack.

Li Jiajun looked at this group of old men and women... no, the Expert leaders, all silent and looking so grim, and felt a bit uneasy.

'Oh no.'

'Did I say something wrong?'

He blinked twice, shrank his neck with a guilty conscience, and wondered if he had accidentally shown off again.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward to the extreme, almost suffocating, the Old Expert named Zhang, who was still squatting on the toilet and keeping the posture of pulling up his pants, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Ahem..."

The Old Expert coughed twice, his old face looking somewhat purplish in the dim light of the restroom.

He looked at the large crowd gathered at the door, then at Liu Jianguo and Li Jiajun standing at the very front, and said in a tone bordering on begging:

"Um... leaders, colleagues."

"Since the technical issues have been discussed enough, can we... change the location?"

"Or, could you please step out first?"

Having said that, the Old Expert pointed to his exposed white buttocks, his face full of grief and helplessness:

"I... haven't wiped yet."

"With so many eyes staring at me, and even an invisible dog staring at me, how can I show my face? Besides, this smell... it's not pleasant either."

Once these words were spoken, the frozen atmosphere instantly shattered.

Everyone finally realized the environment they were in was a men's restroom!

And they were on the scene observing an old comrade doing his business!

"Ahem! Um... Old Zhang is right, let's go out first, let's go out."

Liu Jianguo's old face flushed red, feeling that his lifelong reputation had been ruined in this restroom today.

He hurriedly waved his hand, shooing away the group of Experts who still wanted to get close to study the invisible dog.

"Everyone out! Don't block the way here!"

"Let Old Zhang finish his personal hygiene first!"

Although the Experts were somewhat reluctant, looking at the invisible dog as if it were their first love, they knew the occasion was indeed inappropriate and had no choice but to retreat from the restroom, looking back every few steps.

Li Jiajun also wanted to follow them out.

"Um... sixth child, referencing the monkey king character, you come out too."

He waved at the mass of air.

"Woof!"

A dog bark came from the air, followed immediately by the rapid "tap-tap-tap" of footsteps.

Although they couldn't see it, everyone could feel that the invisible dog was trotting happily behind Li Jiajun, running out of the restroom.

A few minutes later.

Factory courtyard.

The Old Expert had finally cleaned himself up, ran out of the restroom with a flushed face, quickly blended into the group of Experts, and kept his head down, pretending nothing had happened.

At this moment.

Everyone's attention was once again focused on the... mass of air at Li Jiajun's feet.

Although invisible to the naked eye, everyone knew that a priceless "monster" was squatting there.

Liu Jianguo stood in front of Li Jiajun, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

Looking at Li Jiajun's young, handsome face, which also exuded a kind of "clear stupidity," he felt exhausted.

Tired.

Truly tired.

Ever since he met this kid, his heart hadn't had a good day.

Every time he came here, he had to go through roller-coaster mood swings.

From anger to shock, from shock to numbness, and from numbness to the current... inability to even complain.

He felt that the total stimulation he had received in his decades of military career was not as much as in these few months.

"Little Li."

Liu Jianguo spoke earnestly, his voice filled with deep exhaustion:

"Tell me the truth."

"How much more stuff do you have in that head of yours that we don't know about?"

"Can you just bring it all out at once? Stop squeezing it out like toothpaste, one thing popping up now, another popping up later."

"Your Uncle Liu is old, my heart isn't good, I can't stand you tossing me around like this."

Li Jiajun spread his hands with an innocent face:

"Uncle Liu, what are you saying? How could I be hiding anything?"

"Aren't these just small inventions I made casually to solve practical problems because life forced me to?"

"Look, this invisible dog, wasn't it just to solve the privacy problem of going to the toilet? That's reasonable, right?"

The corner of Liu Jianguo's mouth twitched.

Reasonable?

Reasonable my foot!

Who develops world-class dynamic optical stealth technology just to avoid being seen while using the toilet?

This is ten thousand times more absurd than using an atomic bomb to kill a mosquito!

At this time, several materials science Experts and optical Experts nearby crowded around again.

They looked at that mass of air, their eyes burning so hot it could set the air on fire.

"Director Liu! This thing must be taken away!"

"Yes! Must be taken back to the research institute for comprehensive testing immediately!"

"This is dynamic stealth! If we can analyze the coating formula, our individual exoskeletons and our sixth-generation aircraft project could have a qualitative leap!"

"This is simply a gift from heaven!"

The Experts spoke all at once, wishing they could pounce on it right now and dissect that invisible dog.

Li Jiajun looked at this group of excited Experts and was speechless.

'This is called a gift from heaven?'

'Didn't you just say it was a ghost in the toilet earlier?'

He looked at Liu Jianguo somewhat helplessly and asked in a low voice:

"Um... Uncle Liu, do you want this dog too?"

"This is the last one I kept to guard the house, and it's a toilet-use dog... ah no, it's a test product."

"If you take this one too, there really won't be a single dog left in my factory."

Hearing the words "toilet-use dog," the surrounding Experts almost had a collective heart attack.

You call this epoch-making product a toilet-use dog?

If this is a toilet-use dog, what about the stealth projects in their research institute that are still in the PPT stage? Are they worse than dog shit?

Liu Jianguo ignored Li Jiajun's humble-brag.

He just wanted to end all this quickly and leave this place that raised his blood pressure.

He didn't want to hear any more explanations from this kid.

Because he was afraid that if he kept listening, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from hitting him, or he might just die of anger.

"Hoo..."

Liu Jianguo exhaled a long breath and adjusted his breathing.

He turned around and waved at the soldiers who were still stunned, not knowing how to transport "air."

Then, he issued the final order in an extremely exhausted tone that left no room for negotiation:

"Alright, enough nonsense."

"Don't just stand there."

"Take this... this..."

Liu Jianguo was at a loss for words, not knowing what to call this invisible dog born for the sake of using the toilet.

Call it a high-tech tactical reconnaissance dog? Too much credit.

Call it Wangcai? Too tacky.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a name that would make everyone collapse:

"Take this... toilet-use dog, ptooey, toilet companion, and load it onto the truck too!"

"Drive it away tonight! Now! Immediately! Right away!"

Hearing the name "toilet companion," the Experts present twitched their mouths, thinking that Liu Jianguo, you old guy, your naming skills aren't much better.

What the hell, toilet companion.

If this robot dog that mastered world-class stealth technology had intelligence, it would probably be so angry that it would reveal itself on the spot.

The soldiers woke from their daze and stepped forward immediately.

However, facing a mass of invisible air, they were still at a loss as to how to start.

"Um... Factory Director Li, could you let it... reveal itself?"

The squad leader leading the team looked at Li Jiajun with a troubled expression, "It's invisible, we can't move it, what if we drop it or bump it..."

Li Jiajun sighed and snapped his fingers:

"sixth child, referencing the monkey king character, appear, and go with the uncles."

"Hum—"

The air twisted, and the crystal-clear robot dog revealed its form again.

It rubbed against Li Jiajun's pant leg with some reluctance, making a whimpering sound, as if it knew it was about to be taken away.

Li Jiajun patted its dog head, feeling a bit sour in his heart.

This was his proudest work.

He had hoped it would keep him company in this factory, and by the way, deliver benefits and toilet paper to the employees.

As a result, it died before its mission was accomplished; it made a hero weep into his lapels.

"Alright, go."

Li Jiajun patted its butt.

The soldiers then carefully swarmed up, and several people worked together, like carrying fragile porcelain, to lift this invisible robot dog, which was still curiously wagging its tail, onto the truck.

"Gently! Gently! Don't bump that sensor!"

"Watch that joint!"

The Experts nearby directed nervously, for fear of damaging even a bit of the paint.

"Rum-rum-rum..."

As the last military truck fully loaded with "spoils of war" started its engine, the exhaust pipe spewed out a cloud of black smoke.

The convoy slowly drove out of the Li Family Toy Factory courtyard.

Kicking up dust that filled the sky.

Li Jiajun stood at the entrance of the empty factory, watching the departing convoy, holding a few checks and compensation agreements he had just signed, with astonishing amounts.

The wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves on the ground.

It looked exceptionally bleak.

The entire factory was now truly like it had been hit by a typhoon.

Except for the walls and the floor, not a single hair was left.

Even the big yellow dog Wangcai, which had been wagging its tail at him for the past few days, was forcibly borrowed by the Experts under the name of "assisting research" because it provided "biological inspiration" for the robot dog.

They said they wanted to study its motor nerves.

"Sigh..."

Li Jiajun let out a long sigh and put the check into his pocket.

"This is called... out with the old, in with the new. At least, the money is enough."

He consoled himself.

As the door of the last truck closed, Li Jiajun's factory finally, completely, returned to an empty "clean" state.

It was even cleaner than after being robbed.

After all, thieves would leave some worthless things behind, while this group of people even felt that the poop left by the dog had research value and packed it away.

Looking at the empty factory area, a thought suddenly popped into Li Jiajun's mind:

'Fortunately, the tens of thousands of Wangcai units produced earlier have already been shipped and sold.'

'Those sold to ordinary Netizens shouldn't be requisitioned, right?'

'After all, the law doesn't punish the multitude.'

Thinking of this, he felt a little more settled.

As long as his products were still circulating in the market, the reputation of Li Family Toy Factory wouldn't fall.

However, what he didn't know was.

Just the next day.

At an international airport thousands of kilometers away.

A spirited young man from the Eastern Country, wearing a large backpack and sunglasses, was whistling, leading a silver-white "Wangcai" robot dog, walking swaggeringly towards the security checkpoint.

"Hehe, taking my doggy to go abroad and show off, it will definitely be cool!"

The young man looked proud as he placed "Wangcai" onto the security conveyor belt.

The next second.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The security inspection equipment suddenly erupted with a harsh alarm sound!
