Chapter 1390: Chapter 761: 14 Days, Qing Chen Loses His Freedom

Lao Luo laughed, "Got it, Scientist No. 2 has been so busy recently that he’s going bald. If he hears this news, he’ll probably cheer up."

"Also, help me collect all information related to North America. Don’t miss any details concerning Time Travelers," Qing Chen said.

Lao Luo was stunned for a moment, "Boss, are you going to North America?"

Qing Chen didn’t answer, "Anything else?"

"The nanorobot research experts say their current studies are actually not very useful, because the most critical production technology is in the hands of the conglomerates. If we want to produce these things, just creating nanoscale equipment would take two hundred years to barely catch up with the conglomerates’ pace."

Qing Chen fell into contemplation.

In the Outer World, any random product would dare call itself ’nanomaterial.’ Socks have a nanometer-level anti-odor coating, and jackets have a nanometer-level waterproof coating.

But in reality, manufacturing true nanometer-level materials quickly becomes a dead-end.

In the Inner World, materials for nanorobot manufacturing are deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, because the diameter of the DNA helix is only 2 nanometers, and it’s very easy to fold.

But the barrier of technology is beyond imagination; with only technology, without equipment, completion is impossible.

So, Qing Chen’s plan to manufacture nanorobots is now completely stalled.

Without nanorobots, there is no most formidable single-soldier external armor on the battlefield.

But at this moment, a stranger came walking over from afar, saying, "Just say the word, and we’ll provide you with the equipment."

Qing Chen looked up and saw a middle-aged man he didn’t know. The man was wearing a black linen garment with a white ginkgo leaf pinned to his chest, looking like he was commemorating someone.

The fact that the man could hear the voice on the phone from afar indicated that he had drunk Realm camellia, and with a ginkgo leaf on his chest, he was undoubtedly a member of Qing’s Family.

However, the most crucial question was how the man knew he was here?

After coming out from the Underground Abyss their whereabouts were absolutely concealed; if anyone could find him, Demigod Chen Yu would have already come for him.

So, how did the man find him?

"Who are you?" Qing Chen hung up the satellite phone and slowly removed the Three Realms bracelet off his hand.

"Qing Ji!" The Grand Elder flipped up from the campfire as if facing a formidable enemy, "What are you doing here?"

Da Yu, Zard, Chen Jiazhang, and Qin Yiyi all stood up.

Qing Ji calmly sat down by the campfire and said, "No need to be so tense. You have experts aplenty here, no reason to fear me."

Qing Chen glanced at the Grand Elder. This Elder of Fire Pit was an A-Class expert; someone who made him tense was undoubtedly formidable.

Qing Ji just casually sat by the campfire, seemingly not concerned about the A-Class experts around him.

He continued, "Though I don’t know why you want to make nanorobots, we can provide you with technology, team, and equipment. We won’t ask what you want to make with nanorobots, just say the word, and everything will be delivered to City No. 10."

Qing Chen thoughtfully responded, "If I say the word, it’s really so effective?"

"Effective, definitely effective," Qing Ji poked the campfire with a stick, adding new wood, and casually looked at Qin Yiyi, "Little girl, help to make some porridge and tear some Divine Cow Meat into it. No scallions, no cilantro."

The Grand Elder rolled his eyes, "You really don’t treat yourself as an outsider."

Qing Chen asked, "With Qing’s Family offering so much, what do you want in exchange with me?"

Qing Ji retorted, "What do you think you have for exchange?"

Qing Chen was taken aback; when it comes to facing a conglomerate, the things he currently possesses are actually not worth mentioning, at least not to Qing’s Family.

So when asked "what do you think you can exchange," Qing Chen didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Qing Ji continued, "Therefore, you don’t need to treat this matter as a transaction. You are part of Qing’s Family; it’s natural for Qing’s Family to support you. If you’re willing, we can even waive the debt of materials that City No. 10 currently owes, and going forward, all materials can be at cost price, the same as we supply to all Qing’s Family project companies."

Qing Chen calmly said, "Free is the most expensive price. You should be very clear about my relationship with Qing’s Family; it’s not that close. City No. 10’s production has resumed, and we can repay the materials debt very soon."

Qing Ji awkwardly said, "You’ve killed so many from Deer Island, Jindai, Chen Clan; now the only ones willing to do business with City No. 10 are Qing’s Family and Li Family. If Qing’s Family also sanctions you, then you’d be at the mercy of Li Family, and you might not be able to buy materials no matter how much money you have. Surely, you understand, after Li Xiurui’s passing, the independent director’s position has become increasingly delicate. No organization would want an outsider in such an important position."

The Grand Elder exclaimed, "Why do you speak so awkwardly? It feels like you’re reciting lines."

Qing Ji glanced at him, "I am simply reiterating the words someone wanted to say to him. If you feel like I’m reciting lines, it’s actually not incorrect."

The Grand Elder was stunned for a moment, Qing Ji was still as uninteresting and dull as they remembered.

However, someone who could make Qing Ji recite lines, could only be the Family Head from Ginkgo Mountain.
