The next morning, the beautiful President Lan and the calm Secretary Ding appeared together on the 520th floor of the Snow Peak Building. This was the technology research center of the Blue Moon branch.
The president rarely came here in person, so the person in charge did not dare to neglect them. He ran to the door to greet them, but President Lan and Secretary Ding did not look very happy.
Ding Meng wanted to kill Lan Bing when she found out about the Divine Light Bracer last night, but he did not do it for various reasons. Aside from Lan Bing's identity, if he really killed her, it would be difficult to explain to Meng Yan.
Of course, there was also a subtle psychological problem. After all, Lan Bing was his first woman. If he really wanted to be ruthless, he wouldn't be able to do it. Besides, he did take advantage of her. It wasn't unreasonable for her to ask for a favor or two from him.
If Ding Meng could have such thoughts, how could Lan Bing not have such thoughts?
She took a risk to test Ding Meng this time because she knew that Ding Meng was a decisive person. Once her secret was exposed, she would be killed. However, Ding Meng did not kill her not because he was protective of her, but because she knew that she was useful to Ding Meng. At least, they had a common goal — the list of names!
However, after the two of them showed their true colors last night, the two of them got along a little awkwardly. They both felt that the other party had ulterior motives.
"President Lan, Secretary Ding, please come in!" The person in charge gestured carefully.
The technology center of the Shenghao Group was similar to the president's office. It was decorated with colorful glazing technology. The spacious hall was full of futuristic technology and had a strong sense of layering.
Thousands of light screens flickered with light. The workers were wearing the same white uniform, and they were busy in an orderly manner.
President Lan said faintly, "President Qian, you do what you need to do. I'm here to find Mr. Mason!"
Ding Meng had browsed through the personnel list of the Blue Moon branch. Mr. Mason worked in the technology center. He was a very talented warframe master in the Shenghao Group. He was very young, only 54 years old this year. It was said that he was a talent personally recruited by the Shenghao Group's headquarters.
Lan Bing was looking for Mason because she wanted to see his armor. In the end, she was helping Ding Meng.
Ding Meng couldn't help but raise his head to look at Lan Bing again. Lan Bing's side profile was also quite attractive, especially with her long bangs that fluttered down diagonally, accentuating the contours of her face. Coupled with her cold and indifferent expression, she was full of dignity and exuded a unique charm.
After the person in charge left, Ding Meng asked, "Is there any armor I can use in the branch?"
Lan Bing was still expressionless. "We'll have to meet Mr. Mei to find out!"
Walking along the hall, Ding Meng finally saw a familiar oversized machine in another space that was similar to the Induction Hall. It was the Praiseworthy Server that flowed with silver liquid metal like a pumpkin.
This was not the most advanced server, but the internal network used to maintain the internal operation of Blue Moon, which was limited to the scope of the Snow Peak Building.
The surroundings were naturally filled with sensor cabins of various sizes. A young lad was fiddling with data in front of the main control panel.
Lan Bing said softly, "Mr. Mei!"
The young lad turned around and immediately trotted over. "President Lan, long time no see!"
Mei Sen was indeed very young. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be in his thirties. Also, he was tall and thin, wearing a pair of low-light glasses, giving the impression that he was an apprentice. No matter how one looked at him, he didn't look like a warframe master.
In fact, Ding Meng didn't know that although Mei Sen was recommended by the headquarters, he was not popular. The reason was simple. In the field of warframes, besides talent, experience was especially important. Without years of immersion in piles of hundreds and thousands of materials, it was impossible to form a solid foundation. Therefore, famous warframe masters were mostly experienced old men.
Mei Sen, on the other hand, did not take the orthodox path. He often had some crazy ideas, and the warframes he came up with were neither fish nor fowl. Therefore, he was not in an important position.
However, after Lan Bing took over, she paid special attention to him and specially allocated a separate R&D hall for him to use. Therefore, he was very respectful to Lan Bing. Even the most experienced warframe master in the Blue Moon branch did not receive such treatment.
"Is this Secretary Ding?" Mei Sen asked.
Ding Meng nodded and said, "Nice to meet you!"
Mei Sen was not stupid. Lan Bing must have called him to see the warframe. It was reasonable to say that she could see it through the low-light glasses. However, at this moment, Lan Bing personally brought Ding Meng here, which meant that the new Secretary Ding was not only valued by the president, but also the one who would be using the warframe.
"May I ask how old Secretary Ding is this year?" Mei Sen asked.
Before Ding Meng could speak, Lan Bing answered for him, "He is 31 years old!"
"Oh!"
Mei Sen nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, President Lan, Secretary Ding, let's not waste time. Let's talk on the intranet!"
Naturally, the intranet was a virtual space entered through the induction cabin. However, Mei Sen's virtual space was the top floor of the Snow Peak Building's circular parking apron. It covered an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters, which was enough to test all kinds of warframes.
Ding Meng soon understood why Mei Sen asked about his age. At this moment, Mei Sen was standing in the middle of the square and casually waving his hand. Light screens appeared out of thin air, showing all kinds of warframes. Mei Sen was already explaining, "Secretary Ding, please choose according to your needs. I guarantee that these are the best products in Blue Pole Star City …"
Ding Meng only glanced at them and could not help but frown. "Mr. Mei, the highest conversion index of these warframes is only 3 million."
Mei Sen was a little dissatisfied. The word "only" was used very well. Did he think that it was too little?
Lan Bing asked, "What is the conversion ratio?"
Mei Sen immediately said, "The warframe is configured with Sheng Hao's Aristocrat No.5 source core body. The conversion ratio is two to five times."
Aristocrat No.5 was Sheng Hao's most mature source core body technology. It was suitable for almost all types of warframes, and it was extremely stable.
However, after hearing his explanation, Ding Meng immediately calculated the result. If the conversion ratio of five times was the highest, then Hell Mode's conversion ratio would be 3 million. In other words, the warframe soldier's origin energy index would be around 600,000, which was equivalent to an intermediate or advanced War Venerable.
Mei Sen obviously thought that Ding Meng's strength was only at the War Venerable level since he was only 30 years old.
Ding Meng smiled and said, "Mr. Mei, I can't use these warframes."
Mei Sen nodded with an expression that said, "Then do you want to switch to a batch of warframes with a lower conversion ratio?"
Ding Meng said apologetically, "Mr. Mei, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that if I use these warframes, they will malfunction."
"Malfunction?" Mei Sen's eyes widened. "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Ding Meng also knew that this guy was young and definitely didn't believe him. "Okay, you'll know when you try one out!"
Mei Sen was indeed a very direct person. Without saying anything else, he swiped on the screen, and a silver warframe box appeared on the ground. However, Ding Meng didn't move.
"Aren't you going to wear it?" Mei Sen wondered.
Ding Meng smiled and said, "I don't need to wear it. Open it!"
Mei Sen looked at him suspiciously. Then, he used his glasses to directly open the box. A majestic, five-colored warframe in the shape of an angel stood in the plaza. This was the enhanced version of the Tyrael Warframe.
"How are you going to test it?" This was the first time Mei Sen had encountered a freak who directly tested the warframe without wearing it.
Ding Meng was also very direct. He flew up and kicked the warframe machine's thigh. This five-meter-tall, 20-ton warframe immediately turned into a spinning top. It whistled from the plaza and landed in the distance like a cannonball. Finally, it crashed into the glass wall outside the Xinfeng Building.
With a loud boom, the warframe turned into a fireball. It felt as if the tenth floor of the building had been blasted full of holes.
The blast of the explosion blew past Mei Sen's face. With a click, Mei Sen's low-light glasses fell to the ground.
"How is it, Mr. Mei Sen?"
Mr. Mei! "Ding Meng said lightly." I told you that you don't need to wear it!
Mr. Mei, Mr. Mei? "
Mr. Mei was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. This was the first time he had encountered someone who could test the warframe without wearing it. This freak had destroyed the warframe with a single kick. What kind of freak was this?
"You … you're really only 30 years old this year?" Mei Sen turned around. His face was full of shock.
Lan Bing nodded and said, "Secretary Ding is indeed this age!"
Mei Sen understood. Secretary Ding's strength was far beyond that of a Warlord. He waved his hand again, and the dozens of screens disappeared. This time, more than ten new warframes appeared, and they were the kind that had already taken shape.
All kinds of data rose in Ding Meng's vision. This was the benefit of being in the virtual space. The system automatically showed the basic information of the warframe.
Ding Meng's gaze fell on the dark blue warframe. This was the second-generation upgraded version of the Hercules warframe. First, the lower body was strengthened, the mechanical feet were completely thickened, and the alloy shield was removed. Obviously, they had considered the problem of clumsiness in battle. In addition, the engine and system had been greatly optimized. Ding Meng glanced at the load value and couldn't help but nod. The upper limit was 500 million points, and the core conversion rate was seven times.
In other words, according to Mei Sen's evaluation, he regarded Ding Meng as a high-level warlord. After equipping the second-generation Hercules warframe, Ding Meng's index could soar to the mid-level warlord level.
He thought that Ding Meng would be satisfied this time. Unexpectedly, Ding Meng sighed and said, "Mr. Mei, with all due respect, no matter how you improve this warframe, you can't avoid a problem. It always relies on energy and technology for close combat. Although it won't lose to some long-range warframes, it will inevitably be at a disadvantage …"
Mei Sen looked at Ding Meng in a new light. "Secretary Ding, are you a soldier?"
Ding Meng had not been certified in this regard, but it was not wrong to say that he was a soldier. This was because his telekinesis now gave him a photographic memory. The speed at which he familiarized himself with the warframe was many times faster than a normal person.
Lan Bing smiled and said, "Mr. Mei, I'll be honest with you. Do you have any new designs here that can make the index exceed 10 billion points?"
Mei Sen's eyes widened. His eyes were full of disbelief. "More than 10 billion points? Isn't that the legendary warlord level?"
He didn't say the second half of his sentence. In other words, this young Secretary Ding in front of him was no less than a high-level warlord. It was very likely that he was a terrifying warlord. No wonder the president valued him so much.
Mei Sen smiled bitterly. "President Lan, you think too highly of me. Even if it were the warframe masters of the entire Sheng Hao Group, no one would be able to make a sample like that. It's too difficult."
He didn't say anything definite. Ding Meng hurriedly said, "Then, please give me some advice, Mr. Mei!"
