"What did you say?" Chen Yu asked.
Maintaining his bowing posture, the old director said in Chinese, "Thank you very much!"
"Huh?" Chen Yu was confused.
"Thank you for your trust in us." Straightening his back, the old director solemnly walked up to Chen Yu and said, "Our attitude remains the same!
It is our honor to have you review high-tech products here! "
"Y-You're being so polite. Even I feel embarrassed," Chen Yu said awkwardly.
"We have always been filled with the spirit of exploration and reverence for technology and the future.
As long as you are willing, the Japanese venue will always be open to you! "
"Thank you." Moved, Chen Yu hurriedly shook the other party's hand.
However, after shaking hands with Chen Yu, the old director didn't let go of Chen Yu's hand. "We heard news from inside the castle. You plan to hold the floating castle allocation meeting in a week?"
"Yes.
You guys sure are well-informed.
I don't recall anyone from the Japanese government among the 2,000-plus people, right? "
"Ha." Maintaining his smile, the old director said, "It's our allies. Our allies told us.
Dear Mr. King, our government will definitely attend the meeting in a week and unconditionally support all of your proposals. "
"Okay."
Chen Yu retracted his hands and patted the old director's shoulder. "Thank you for your support. I will definitely not forget about the benefits."
After saying so, Chen Yu connected the Spatial Folding Device and stepped into the portal. "I'll be heading up first, then."
"Mr. King, you can choose the floating castle's landing location as you wish. We will not have any requests," the old director said, bowing once more.
"Huh?
Oh.
Thank you. "
Chen Yu was somewhat confused, but he couldn't be bothered to ask. He waved his hand and entered the portal.
A few seconds later, the metal arch disappeared.
Straightening his back, the old director pulled out a high-powered telescope and looked at the island in the sky. He then muttered to himself, "What a great fortune for our country..."
"Huh?
It's still moving forward?
We can land here already... "
Five minutes later...
"Why is it flying so far away?
Is it trying to land on the mountain?
Mr. King sure is meticulous. He's unwilling to block the sunlight from the plain... "
Ten minutes later...
"It seems it's going to land in our territorial waters?"
Sweat began appearing on the old director's forehead. "Although transportation is somewhat inconvenient, it isn't necessarily a bad choice..."
Thirty minutes later...
"... Where's the island..."
…
After sending all 2,400 people back to their respective addresses, Chen Yu disconnected the Interstellar Portal and lay on the ground. He then removed his helmet and closed his eyes to rest.
"Hermione?"
"I'm here."
The swarm of particles flashed, and Hermione appeared nearby. "Do you have any orders, Mr. Headmaster?"
"Do you have any drinks?
Give me a cup. "
"I'm sorry." Hermione shook her head. "There's no food in the floating castle."
"The fruits in the Forbidden Forest are all fake?"
"Yes.
Even the liquid is simulated by liquid nanoworms. "
Sitting up, Chen Yu turned around and asked, "If we put real soil on the island, can we grow crops?"
"That's possible.
But the heavier the floating island is, the lower the distance it can rise. "
"It doesn't matter if it's lower, as long as it's a few thousand meters.
Right, where's Little Peach? "
"Playing on the Quidditch pitch."
"You must be going crazy from playing. Call her back for me."
"Yes."
Hermione nodded. With a wave of her staff, she disappeared on the spot.
Putting on his helmet once more, Chen Yu stood up and connected the Interstellar Portal to the island-building ship.
Now that he had a more spacious, brighter, and more comfortable floating castle, he decided to move all of his items from the engineering ship over.
His future base of operations would be on the floating castle.
With the help of Hermione, Little Peach, and the nine mages, Chen Yu moved all of his current items to the tower where the headmaster's office was located.
For example, the Spiral Ascending Aircraft, the Cuttlefish Girl, the protective suit's repair cabin, Little Peach's charging cabin, and so on.
He also sealed off the moving staircase at the bottom of the tower, completely isolating it from the outside world.
Even if he offered the castle to others to use in the future, nobody would be able to enter it.
Clap! Clap!
Patting the dust off his palms, Chen Yu walked into the protective suit's repair cabin, removed the protective armor, and changed into a set of home clothes. He then asked Hermione, "What will happen if this castle is attacked by a missile?"
"It will be damaged."
"It's so fragile?"
"It's a building block toy. It can't be used for military purposes."
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu realized something. Pulling out his phone, he played a previously stored video of a nuclear weapon's explosion and said, "I'm talking about this type of missile, not the high-tech missiles from the 30th century."
After watching the video seriously for a moment, Hermione said, "Elementary nuclear weapons will explode at close range. The high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees will damage the building blocks.
If it's a long-range explosion, the castle won't suffer much damage.
However, the castle will be moved by the shockwave. "
"If a missile attacks, can the castle warn us in advance?"
"It can't."
"Alright, then."
Chen Yu felt a little disappointed.
He had originally thought that the 30th century's products would be invincible even in modern times, even if they were just toys.
However, it would seem that he had been overthinking things.
It seemed that humans were still a little crazy when it came to adding points to weapons...
"This castle is amazing. It's simply perfect."
After touring around the tower a few more times, Chen Yu was extremely satisfied with the place.
The castle was spacious, well-enclosed, and decorated.
The walls, oil paintings, tables, chairs, bookshelves... Every part of the castle exuded a strong cultural aura. He couldn't find any flaws in the castle.
Except for the lack of internet...
"If there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave first. I might return to take a nap at night."
Arriving at the hall above the moving staircase, Chen Yu shrunk the Interstellar Portal into a normal wooden door and connected it to his bedroom. He then turned to Hermione and instructed, "Keep an eye on the castle. Don't allow any aircraft to approach.
If any paratroopers jump from the top, capture them. "
"Okay."
"This is for you." Passing the High-frequency Lightsaber to Hermione, Chen Yu said, "You can fight back if you encounter an attack.
Before I hold a distribution meeting, no one is allowed to enter. "
"Okay."
Accepting the lightsaber, Hermione calmly nodded and said, "Lord Headmaster, please rest assured. Under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to approach the toy without the owner's permission."
"Don't call it a toy in the future. Call it a castle," Chen Yu corrected.
"Castle..."
Creak.
Pushing open the wooden door, Chen Yu revealed his bedroom. He then waved goodbye to Hermione and the nine mages before returning to his home with Little Peach.
"Mr. Chen, did you go to the Quidditch stadium?
It's so fun! "
"You should've had enough fun after playing for a day. Go write some code."
After sending Little Peach away, Chen Yu sat on his bed and impatiently swiped his finger across his watch to check his earnings for today's livestream.
When he clicked on [Basic Information] and saw the string of Arabic numbers displayed on the screen, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
[Points: 1,679.]
"1,600 points... That's more than enough to hire young models..."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu calmed his excited emotions.
Closing his eyes, Chen Yu muttered to himself, "Calm your mind... Don't let your imagination run wild... High technology!
High technology!
I only want high technology! "
After hypnotizing himself for three minutes, Chen Yu abruptly opened his eyes. While his mind was still filled with "wise" thoughts, he hurriedly swiped his finger across his watch and entered the Transdimensional Store's page!
After a second of pause, five products appeared on the screen...
"... This is a scam, right?!"
…
(I'll continue to pay off my debt tonight!)
