"What are you talking about?"An Uncle Jinlong, who had grown as round as a ball, lay on the table gnawing at the steak in front of him, somewhat puzzled, and glanced at Master Fuli and Jin Wanlin who were exchanging mute signals.
"How about it? My body full of fat muscle?" Uncle Jinlong looked at Master Fuli with a pleased expression as he stood up to reveal his plump figure.
"Not bad....."
Ansheng looked at Jin Wanlin with a strange expression.
"The old man trained a bit too hard, the doctor said it's bad for lizards during winter, might harm his vitality...." Jin Wanlin lowered his voice and said to Master Fuli:
"So, I mixed two pounds of milk tea powder into Uncle Jinlong's protein powder."
Uncle Jinlong belongs to the spiritualization lizard species. Although he has modern technology and nutritionists at his disposal, his appetite is very low once winter arrives.
In addition to his intense exercise regimen, his body lacks sufficient glycogen reserves, so the Security Bureau has to secretly replace his protein powder with high-sugar supplements.
Moreover, lean beef was switched to marbled steak.
Even when his appetite was low, Uncle Jinlong still insisted on three cups of protein powder and two pounds of beef every day to maintain his muscle and strength.
The result... was that he was supplemented a bit too aggressively, leading to a little belly bulging out of his tummy.
"Aren't you afraid Uncle Jinlong will find out and then blow up on you for pulling such a fast one?" Ansheng asked with an odd expression.
"Fat muscle is still muscle!" Jin Wanlin said confidently. "Fat muscle has dimension and strength; Uncle Jinlong is quite satisfied with our training plan."
"Let's put aside Uncle Jinlong for now. Actually, today I'm here representing the Security Bureau to deliver a congratulatory gift."
Jin Wanlin picked up the gift box beside him, looked at Master Fuli, and smiled, "It's not particularly expensive; it's from the field brothers together, thanking Master Fuli for his hard work and protection of Xia Dong this year."
Jin Wanlin opened the gift box, and inside a glass display case sat a fox diamond statue about thirty centimeters high, with a lamp at the bottom.
When the light was turned on, it shone upwards, causing the entire fox diamond statue to emit radiant sparkles.
"Did the Xia East Security Bureau bring to light a union and, by the way, snag the Heart of Africa from the king?"
"Next time you pull such a stunt, remember to include me, Ansheng..."
The dazzling radiant sparkles almost made Ansheng unable to open his eyes. He raised his hand to block the view and started to jest about the gift Jin Wanlin had brought.
"A native product from Central Plains Shangqiu," Jin Wanlin explained to Master Fuli with a smile. "This is artificially cut diamond; if it were a natural diamond, Blue Star might not be able to find such material."
Although the diamond is man-made, the craftsmanship is of master-level quality.
The statue is not particularly expensive, but its splendid appearance makes it perfect for celebrating Master Fuli's grand opening.
"Turn off the light first..." Ansheng waved his hand, indicating to Jin Wanlin to put away his magic as the thing when illuminated resembled the grand opening of the hundred-eyed demon king from a certain journey to the west.
"You came here early in the morning, you must be here for more than just delivering this gift, right?"
Ansheng held up the diamond statue himself, watching the craftsmanship with a pleased expression as he casually inquired about Jin Wanlin.
This splendid little item is just like me.
"Indeed, according to the intelligence passed back by Old Lu and the messages from Master Fuli, the Security Bureau has already prepared to quietly infiltrate at any time....."
"The list includes Li Mengxi, Zhang Lin, as well as more than thirty members of the logistics support team, led by local thug Miyel," Jin Wanlin said, revealing the small team the Security Bureau had configured for Master Fuli.
Led by Miyel, the Exploiter Alliance is responsible for opening the key transportation nodes, complemented by the excellent eyesight of Zhang Lin and Jin Wu as scouts, with Unos and Xia Country's slice carrier Li Mengxi as consultants and guides.
In Furui City, due to foreign affairs, the Security Bureau would not initiate any grand gestures.
Whatever Master Fuli does, the Security Bureau wouldn't ask throughout the process.
If asked on the other side, the Security Bureau would just respond with a surprised question: "Oh my, did you get smacked by a fox? Xia Country doesn't have an Arctic Fox habitat."
"Is the team and retreat all prepared? From the message sent back by Old Lu, wasn't everything alright over there?" Ansheng asked somewhat perplexed.
In Furui City, besides the mutant source, it seems there are no dangerous situations.
"Everything is alright in the city, where the highest building is just a clock tower, and the rest are bungalows. Even in case of an earthquake, the resources inside are sufficient."
"But we have received clear intelligence that Rakshasa Country seems to be preparing to bring excavators and carry away the soil....." Jin Wanlin said with a strange expression.
Unable to find the mutant source, they would directly uproot the soil and bring it to a safe zone for an analysis of the soil piece by piece to see what it actually is.
The mutant source's ability is intensely powerful.
With one force, the entire city turned into Furui, and the interference range is akin to a nuclear explosion.
Many have set their sights on it; however, not many can withstand the mutation radiation. Yet couldn't resist remotely controlling excavators to scoop cubic feet of soil to analyze where the mutant source specifically is.
Retreat with thousands of cubic yards of soil is much faster than studying inch by inch in a canyon.
"Wow, what a crude style....." Ansheng remarked, hearing that Rakshasa Country prepared to roll away the core area's soil, with the little fox face revealing a hint of dumbfounded expression:
"True bandits, directly rolling up people's land and running away... Is there any rule of law left?"
"So..... upon receiving the intelligence, we immediately set down plans to bring analysis instruments, and got dump trucks ready.
Jin Wanlin revealed a helpless smile and stated, "If I'm not mistaken... the engineering vehicles in the Outer mining area should have all been requisitioned by Miyel and his pals now."
"Alright then! After I finish the ribbon-cutting, tonight I'll take Shasha and head straight over to peel its ground." Ansheng grumbled with a dark expression.
In the hotel guestroom, after discussing the mode of travel and gathering point for tonight, Ansheng proceeded to walk towards the room.
Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Qingao Island, and Lin Ying, Grandma Hedgehog, Ah Qing's parents, and Chen Tianyun will all come.
And yesterday, Ah Qing called Yang Qingfeng—the fishing master immediately received the news that Sea Fishing City is guaranteed to have great catches with the Dragon King sitting, with free food and drink.
The TV station and live broadcast have been all arranged; now Ansheng suddenly backing out, he couldn't just pull away.
He could only ask Miyel to lend a hand, and if necessary, even summon Vimal and that gang of troublemakers.
...
At nine thirty in the morning, on Qingao Island's visitor dock.
Ah Qing received Lin Ying's call and moved ahead with the little fox to the port side to pick up Sister Lin and the others.
"Master Fuli!"
Lin Ying descended from the gangway and immediately saw Ansheng lying on Ah Qing's shoulder, laughing and raising her arm.
"Whimper~" Ansheng seized the moment to smoothly transition from Ah Qing's shoulder to Lin Ying's shoulder.
