Evacuation Successful!

Duration: 00:18:09

Earnings for this round: 5,308,207!

The match ended, and Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan returned to the Forbidden Zone entrance.

Because this match was so stress-free, the two of them just frantically scavenged in the Core Area the whole time, so they evacuated relatively early.

Luo Xiu and the others, who had previously said they wanted to team up, had not yet arrived.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yun decided to use his free time to contact the professors at Haibei Research Institute.

“Oh right, what was that professor's name again?”

Xiao Yun found the contact information but realized he had only saved

If he made a call without knowing how to address them, then the subsequent discussion might not even happen.

Xiao Yun felt that, after all, the other party was a highly respected Old Professor, and he should show some respect no matter what.

However, what he didn't know at the time was that, in fact, for Dragon Country, he was now a national treasure-level existence... “I remember it should be Professor Ren and Professor Qian, right?”

“OK.”

After getting Liu Shihhan's confirmation, Xiao Yun immediately dialed the number.

The call only rang twice; before the third ring tone even sounded, the other party picked up, as if they had been deliberately holding the phone, waiting for his call.

“Hahaha, Xiao Yun, we've finally been waiting for your call!”

Sure enough, as soon as the Old Professor on the other end spoke, Xiao Yun realized things weren't simple.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Yun also matched the image in his mind to the person's name.

“Old Professor Qian, what do you mean by this? It sounds like you knew I'd call.”

“This... Hey, hey, hey! Old Ren, don't snatch my phone...”

“Is that Xiao Yun? Oh, Xiao Yun, we've been waiting for you with bated breath!”

As soon as the call connected, a chaotic scene could be heard on the other end.

Another professor snatched the phone, his emotions very agitated.

Hearing his voice, Xiao Yun also recognized him; this person should be Professor Ren, who had previously rented his carbon fiber boards and military shells.

Recalling the scene at the time, Xiao Yun immediately realized that when he rented those big red items to them, he seemed to have mentioned something about building rockets... Could it be that because of the excuse he made up at the time to rent out the big red items, Haibei Research Institute specifically established a project?

No way... “Old Qian, Old Ren, I heard your institute started an Aerospace project. What's going on?”

“Oh, it's all thanks to you! Xiao Yun, you're a big red celebrity in Haibei City now! Becoming a professional GTI member in such a short time has already broken the national historical record, hasn't it?”

“You know all this?”

“Although we're in the research institute every day, we're still very well-informed about news concerning the Forbidden Zone...”

After some inquiries, Xiao Yun finally understood the situation at Haibei Research Institute.

Simply put, due to the emergence of Xiao Yun, a GTI super rookie, the entire Haibei City has now received official attention, and various rectifications have begun from top to bottom. Now, whether it's the business environment, scientific research, or management, the entire Haibei City has seen significant improvements. The authorities have also invested a large amount of resources to build up this previously obscure fourth-tier small city.

This wave also reached Haibei Research Institute. It is said that they recently received huge financial support from the authorities, and their annual research funding is now dozens of times what it used to be.

Furthermore, the authorities also sent several top industry research teams to specially assist Haibei Research Institute's scientific research projects.

On this basis, Haibei Research Institute's funding and staffing problems have been greatly improved. In terms of paper data, it has instantly become one of the top ten key research institutes nationwide.

This feeling of suddenly becoming rich overnight made the two Old Professors feel like they were dreaming.

Initially, they weren't clear about the specific situation, but after much inquiry, they learned a bit of gossip: it turned out that such a huge change in Haibei City was all due to Xiao Yun's appearance!

“Xiao Yun, you don't know about all these things, do you?”

“I know jack sh... hammer!”

Listening to the professor's confusion, Xiao Yun felt even more helpless.

The authorities did such a big thing, why was there no notification at all, no news told to him?

“Shihan and I have been running blade server missions in Jinghai City. Such a big thing happened in Haibei City, and we didn't receive any news at all! Right?”

Xiao Yun turned to look at Liu Shihhan, only to find her smiling at him.

“Hehe, actually, I knew a little bit.”

Liu Shihhan smoothed her side hair with her right hand, saying somewhat guiltily.

“Actually, He Mo told me a bit about this before.”

“Ah? Then you didn't tell me?”

Xiao Yun frowned helplessly, not expecting this young lady to keep things from him.

Although they weren't yet sleeping in the same bed, they had at least had physical intimacy. It couldn't be that she was deliberately hiding it from him, could it?

“Oh, it's not that I was deliberately hiding it from you. I was just thinking that when you go back, you'd have a surprise seeing the changes in Haibei City.”

“Alright...”

Xiao Yun sighed, not expecting her to have considered it that way.

“By the way, Xiao Yun, have you found any big red materials in the Forbidden Zone over in Jinghai City?”

Just as they finished chatting, the Old Professor on the other end of the phone suddenly blurted out.

“big red materials, I've found quite a lot. What's up?”

Although he could tell from the other party's tone that they must need some rare big red materials for their research to ask, Xiao Yun still pretended to be ignorant and asked.

“Well, you see, we're researching Aerospace rockets, right?”

“So, you need some big red materials?”

Xiao Yun smiled faintly, and the Old Professor on the other end of the phone also smiled, as if understanding.

“Hahaha! You guessed it long ago, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have made this call.”

“Hmm, but at first I thought you might lack manpower and funding. Now it seems all those problems are solved...”

“Oh, Xiao Yun, you know, the big red tech-type materials brought out of the Forbidden Zone are the most crucial! With big red materials, applying for funding is simple, isn't it? Research personnel are abundant; which place doesn't have more people than projects now?”

“Is that so... Then what specific materials do you need? If I have them, I can give you a discount.”

“Good! With your words, we're relieved. As for the price, you don't need to worry; just go by the normal market rate. I'll send you the list later!”

“Alright.”

Xiao Yun hung up the call, and immediately received the image list from the other party on WeChat.

However, the moment Xiao Yun opened the image, he was startled by the materials listed on it!

“Required materials: blade server/array server x15 (1 already owned), carbon fiber board x20 (1 already owned), cloud storage array x15, rocket fuel x3...”

“Aren't you being too bold, buddy? What a huge request!”

...Meanwhile, on the other side.

He Yan arrived at the hotel where Xiao Yun was temporarily staying. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw four busy administrators.

Looking at the large and small bags of packed materials in their hands, and the truck bed that was already nearly three-quarters full, He Yan's brows immediately furrowed, his eyes filled with shock.

“This kid really didn't lie to me!”
