Chapter 413 - New project Part 2

Chapter 406

/*unedited*/

The happiness in Park Jiyong's eye is evident from the exhilarating experienced he just had. Before launching the mech frame, Shin Jiao let him train using the main c.o.c.kpit of the mech frame. He experienced a simulation of controls and maneuvers of the mech. This way he would not panic and could become acquainted with the controls of the mech.

As Park Jiyong practices he felt ecstatic as the simulation is almost like the real thing except for the actual g-force that should come if he truly pilots the mech.

After an hour he alighted from the c.o.c.kpit and is now grinning from ear to ear.

"That was fun… It was a bit hard to control at first. But after that training, I'm sure I'm ready to actually pilot one… and the…" with confidence in his eyes, Park Jiyong began to blabber about his experience.

"Alright, but the mech frame is not yet done…" Shin Jiao cut him off.

The main camera which is the head of the mech is not yet done, because it is more complicated to make and design. Plus, Shin Jiao plans to create it with strong armor so that it would not be easily destroyed. So if Park Jiyong wanted to actually pilot the mech, then he would be riding it like an ordinary aircraft or vehicle.

"It's fine…" Park Jiyong excitedly said.

Seeing the excitement in the young man's eyes, Shin Jiao shook his head and just wave his hand to permit the young man to pilot the mech.

Shin Jiao pushed the mech into an elevator shaft as they went down to the second level.

In front of them is now a large space with many debris and burn marks on the walls.

"What is this place?" Park Jiyong asked as he looks at the wide space.

"This is my testing area… you can try to fly in here, but this place is just two stories high, so no high flight."

"No worries, I don't intend to fly, Hehe…" Park Jiyong said with a grin.

"By the way, are there any targets here?" he added.

"Huh? I thought you don't like guns?" Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

"For now, yes… But I wanted to try that baby." Park Jiyong said while pointing at a sword handle protruding at the leg of the mech.

"That's a condensed laser. You have to be careful in using that as it drains too much of the mech's energy."

"Oh, you mean it uses the mech's power?"

"Yeah, those laser blades produces 1,000 to 3,000 degrees Celsius of heat. So to maintain long operation it needs the support of the mech's energy to support the energy from the sword's hilt…"

Shin Jiao began explaining the functions and the schematics of the mech. As a researcher, he would sometimes lose himself in this kind of thing as he can talk for hours just to explain the things he did or made.

Park Jiyong listened at first, but then he slowly discovered that the topic began to deepen and most of the words that Shin Jiao is saying are starting to turn harder to understand.

"Wait! Wait! Big brother Shin… I… I can't take it anymore. Let's me just ride the mech, okay?" Park Jiyong said with a pleading look on his face.

Shin Jiao showed a pleading look on his face and recognize that expression. He too would see the same expression to the two women at home whenever he starts to blabber about his day and the things he did.

He could not help but chuckle in his heart. What can he do? He likes to talk about those things.

Park Jiyong began to maneuver the mech like an expert in the area. He began to use the blade and began hacking the makeshift target practice that Shin Jiao built.

After an hour or two

Park Jiyong went down from the c.o.c.kpit with a shaking leg. But his face is full of contentment and pride.

He piloted the mech like an expert and was able to become proficient in using the blade. At first, it was hard, but as time went by he was able to hit what he intended to hit.

"Big brother Shin, if this thing ended up in the military, many countries would turn their eyes on us… I'm guessing that it would make you more money than you can ever count… Haha…" Park Jiyong jested.

"Well, that's their problem… For me, as long as I can research and create things, I'm good…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"If people abuse this tech, then I would just go out and destroy it…" Shin Jiao thought as he remembers what the mission given to him was in exchange for gaining back his strength and the ability to grow further.

…

The two went out of the underground workshop after the whole day of working together. At that time, Park Jiyong suggested a lot of practical designs for Shin Jiao.

They were able to make a mech that can carry loadout depending on the mission. It is a standardize mech which can carry out scouting, assault, and defensive mission according to the armor, weapons, backpack, and boosters it carries.

When the two finished designing, Shin Jiao feeds it to the machine as they went out as the time is already at hand for them to go home.

As the two walked out, they saw a group of employees crowding in the lobby. It was as if they are afraid to go out of the building and Shin Jiao noticed that most of them are calling their phone. He used his sharp senses to listen to a conversation and was stunned.

From what he heard, there are people surrounding the company and they are carrying weapons. Some employees who had walked out of the company were assaulted. Luckily they were just injured and are now in the company's infirmary.

Then Shin Jiao noticed the figures of Susan Tang and Shi Anne Li walking out of the elevator for the executives and company leaders.

"Shin… you're here!" Susan Tang exclaimed.

She just received the message that something happened outside and so she immediately runs to see the situation.

The company and its grounds are safe, as Central could control its protection. But she could not attack the people outside the company's perimeter as it violates the law of self-defense and self-preservation.

"Yeah, we just finished the new project for the company. You have to thank this kid here for that." Shin Jiao said as he patted Park Jiyong's shoulder.

The latter felt a bit shy and just smiled awkwardly while waving his hand wanting to deny the compliment from Shin Jiao.

But before he can speak, a loud voice which seems to be coming from a speaker boomed.

"People inside the building… We are here to take someone and no one will stop us."

"Who is that?"

"Why would they do such a thing just to kidnap someone? Are they stupid?"

"What do you know… This place is the safest place on earth. As long as we are here they cannot enter this ground."

"Haha, that's right, they would be stupid enough to enter this place while carrying any weapons."

"But how can we go home?"

As the people clamored and discussed a figure on the side is already trembling in fear. Marie just received a message on her phone. It was a threat from the group outside.

If she would not go out, then the people would cause trouble in the city and even would begin to attack each employee of the company.

They would only stop if she gives herself up in 10 minutes.

5 minutes have already passed and only 5 minutes is left for her to decide.

She already had an idea of who these people are, and they called themselves 'the Fangs'. The mysterious group 'the Fangs' is actually very powerful and has never been caught by the authorities before even after causing too much problem in a place they operate.

But of course, they would not go overboard and be always active, because if they do then the government will begin to hunt them down endlessly. And that would not be good for the group.

And ever since they began their operations, many of the world's underground groups would hire them every now and then to target high profile clients.

Since then their names became famous throughout the underworld and among the authorities. Many of the cities and the leaders would not dare to confront the group as they possess great threats. And if their city faces 'the Fangs', they would call the army.

This is because only the army has enough force to confront the group. But calling and making the army take action would take too much time. At most, they can assemble enough force to confront 'the Fangs' group within 30 minutes of time.

So that is the reason why Marie is really nervous right now. She didn't want other people to be involved in this. But she also didn't want to die.

"Huhu… I… I don't want to die, but I… I also can't involve other…" she muttered while sobbing on the side.

Her secretary looks at her with conflicted emotion in her eyes. She too didn't want to endanger her boss and others. So the question is what should they do?

Shin Jiao on the other hand has spread his absolute sense. Then his eyes turned into slits and a serious expression appears on his face. The reason for this is because he found that all the terrorists causing this scene are actually… cultivators.
